Fire Emblem: Awakening

[Zilong]

there is one thread on gamefaqs where the guy just listed all the ideal pairing for unit generation, assuming your sole goal is to munchkin the shit out of sage/dark fliers

Aversa isn't gonna be available to crank the ideal magical Morgan until much later though

That's very helpful, but so so so soooooooooo obnoxiously written.

Any tips for trying to level Donnel? I try to get stuff weak enough for him to kill early on but it's kinda rough to do starting out.

I paired him with a stronger melee character and fought easy battles (using reeking boxes at early locations) until I could 2nd seal him, changed him to Merc, and now hes a kick-ass Hero. I also married him to Maribelle because its hilarious.

Sounds like you've got the gist of it; damage something, then send him in for the kill. You can make things easier by pairing him up with someone who boosts STR and/or handing him those low-skill highish-damage "heroic" weapons.

Don't forget that you can summon the bonus box teams onto your map, which allows you to target specific leveled enemies, in the event that you've gone so far in the story that Donnel always hits for 0. If you're desperate, you can load the map where the boss is a healer, wipe out the map except the boss, then just have Donnel wail on the healer until it's dead, since it can't fight back.

You could try pairing him with Kellam, he offers a great defense boost to his partner.

set up a support on him, and if you have access to DLC, just forge the shit out of his weapons

lost about shitton hours in grinding because i fucked up and forgot to pass on galeforce to inigo, and the closest save i had left is about 5 hours of grinding back, fuck my life.

I finally beat the game and I'm considering restarting now on a higher difficulty instead of trying to maximize what I already have. I don't know if I'm going to go full tilt on galeforce for everyone, but I wouldn't mind a fairly beast OP team. Some of that is contingent on more streetpass content though, no?

I also now see the massive benefit you get from making your avatar female.

[Trichocyst]

Oh, and to level Donnel I had liberal use of rescue. I'd send him in paired with somebody to amplify his weak ass, then yank them back so they didn't get squashed.

[Insanecyclone]

I got him paired up with Lissa(War Cleric), trying to sex up too, and now he's a Mercenary. He's gone into full rage mode now doing crits almost all the time.

See, I find this interesting. My Donnel was a beast and his stats are stupid right now and I haven't even used any seals on him yet.

[Trichocyst]

I got him pretty beastly, too, but it was a long road getting there. Cynthia actually ended up being my late game queen of death.

The real streetpass dependant munchkinry that's not currently accessible is full magic Morgan since Aversa isn't recruitable yet, and she gave the second highest MAG along with Shadowgift to allow you to whore Nosferatu/Aversa's Night/Waste on Sage, which has higher MAG cap and slightly lower defensive stat to buff Vengeance. That being said though, I'd imagine marrying Ricken!Laurent (Female MU) or Ricken!Noire (Male MU) would give comparable Magic Boost and earlier access to Morgan and a free skillslot while staying in Sorcerer.

Considering future DLC would just blast your Skillslots to hell with Limit Breaker, Tomefaire and Galeforce being mandatory for maxed caster, it doesn't leaves much of wiggle room if you're just going for Shadowgift Morgan, since it leaves you with only 1 slot for skill option (probably vengeance, vantage, astra, or something along that line)

This is for hardcore min-maxing only though, if you don't mind the borderline trivial max stats difference and lack of support, you could just have an army of maxed stats DLC character/Avatar from exploiting the logbook, which is made trivial with Golden Gaffe.

Got one after 2 hours of driving around and searching

[Trichocyst]

Lunatic mode does not fuck around.

[Zilong]

Frederick and friends excellent adventure

it's not really that bad, you just need to conserve the shit out of the silver lance on the first 2 chapters so you can just murder the first area ch 3 bitches with them, and after you do that, you can pretty much solo ch 4 with just Frederick.

dunno how it goes after that chapter, since i just call it a day and grind the shit out of the dlc.

[Deader2818]

They had that fire emblem DS at the game stop I was just at. Didn't get it cause I dont really need 2 ds, lol

You should have bought it anyway.

[Nuriko]

Anyone know if we're supposed to be getting new DLC today? For some reason I had it in my mind the EXP map would be released this week but could be wrong...

Oh, they came out at noon. New map pack and the EXP map is open. Let the abusing commence!

[Trichocyst]

What strategy do people use to get past chapter 2 on lunatic? Ugh. Frederick gets swarmed and I can't get the children away from the melee. Lunatic mode would be absurd on classic mode.
