Anyone on Smogon still playing Fire Emblem? Smashing hackers and having them freeze disconnect on me is only fun for so long.
-Map 3 is the cell map, and is broken.
-I can't imagine not playing this with FoW. Between two evenly matched players, the one who finds the other first usually wins.
-Longbow and Warp Staff are probably the best items in the game.
-Don't forge Crit; enough people use Dazzle to make it an unwise time investment.
-Judgment is lethal to a team without Fortify (puts most units in kill range), but an absolute joke to one that has it. Fortify and Warp alone make a Sage practically mandatory.
-None of the support chain teams are good/feasible.
-Maxing all of a unit's stats is very hard, but possible in most cases. It usually involves 20 levels as Cleric, then 20 levels as Paladin.
-Speed is absolutely vital. If your unit can get doubled (and there are Swordmasters and Snipers *everywhere*) they can die in one round. It's bad enough when two units can take down one. I've used Dracoknights and Falcoknights and the 2 Speed difference is enough to save the Falcoknight from Heroes and Berserkers.
-Generals are always good for a laugh. I can't think of a worse unit, other than Marth. Heroes are generally outshined by Berserkers, as well.
Caeda (Swordmaster): Levin Sword, Brave Sword, Armorslayer
Palla (Swordmaster): Brave Sword, Armorslayer
Catria (Sniper): Brave Bow, Longbow, Parthia
Est (Falcoknight): Gradivus, Brave Sword, Brave Lance, Ridersbane
Linde (Sage): Thoron, Swarm
Stats: All maxed HP, Str, Skl, Spd. Est is -1 Def and Linde -2. Lowest RES is Est at 17 (Linde 19, Caeda max, the others -7 max w/ Pure Water effects). Caeda had 11 chapters to herself and therefore has all stats maxed. :)
