I just fielded my Robin and Lucina, and had them go on a date. With Morgan and Yarne helping.
Sounds like what I'm trying to do, except replace Lucina with Chrom, Yarne with Cynthia, and add in Laurent with Lucina, and Micaiah and Ricken (with Nowi) to help keep them healed and rescue them at times. I've also been using Walhart and Yen'fay (with Aversa backing him), and Lon'qu with Cherche. Everyone else falls super quickly, even the ones who powerhoused me through other Paralogues and the story like Kellam with Cordelia or Frederick with Panne.
Well, the last time I played it I sent Chrom and Robin out and the solo'd the map... so...

If you insist on using Dark Fliers, Iote's Shield is your best friend. That and Bowbreaker. Prian's map doesn't have much room if I remember correctly. From what I do remember, High defense magic users are you best bet. Watch out for counter.
No, it doesn't, hence why it's easy to get swarmed. I'm not wed to Dark Fliers (though at least one would be nice), but I'll keep that in mind.

I think I need to work on Defense. That's the one stat of my Robin's that really stinks. I'll have to look at Henry again- he held up okay for a while and might fit the high-defense niche if I grind him.

I'll probably change Cynthia's class anyway since her Strength is much better than her Magic, but then again, distance attacks have been saving me on that map.

EDIT: I might also replace Ricken or Micaiah with Emmeryn once I get her Galeforce and max her out, then return her to Sage.

I just sent the four people I mentioned, along with Olivia and Chrom.

I might just concentrate on Robin, Chrom, Morgan, Cynthia, Lucina, and Laurent, then. It'd be easier I'd think to take in six powerhouses than 30 so-so units. I might add in Walhart and/or Yen'fay as well because they usually down quite a few units before going down themselves (and yes, I'm playing Casual mode). I'll probably aim for:
Chrom- Great Lord (Paladin right now, will switch back once he maxes out)
Robin- a magic user, not sure which yet though, Sorcerer? Sage? Keep her Dark Flier?
Lucina- Probably back to Great Lord unless she lends herself better to another class
Morgan- He's just about maxed out as Grandmaster, so not sure
Cynthia- something with Strength, and maybe hard to hit... Trickster? Assassin (for Lethality)?
Laurent- magic-based class (he's Dark Knight right now, that could change)

You might wanna wait until you beat your Robin/Lucina run-through to try again.

I might. Ditto on my Robin/Yarne run, which I'm far in and am taking a break from right now. I'll probably alternate between grinding and my other two runs. I'm going to try for Cynthia and Inigo after a couple of chapters in my Robin/Lucina run. I might stop to grind up Lucina and especially Morgan first, though, because Aether is awesome.

I haven't had much time to play with school, and I've been trying for Priam on my original run, so I'm at the chapter where you set the boats on fire. When I do play it, though, I've been grinding Lucina and Morgan. I'll probably get the EXP map soon to make it an easier process. I plan on summoning character on my first run to grind it, but I'm worried my team on run 2 aren't strong enough for them.

Get the whole pack if you do get the DLC. Also, sometimes I love Miiverse. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqGfqqR33Q

I'll probably just wait until Christmas when I get more Nintendo eShop cards then because I don't have enough money on my eShop account right now for the whole set.

What kind of skills do you have on each of them? Having maxed out stats is only half the battle, its also getting all of the skills you need on them.

For example, get Morgan access to Lethality and Luna to take advantage of his Rightful kind. He should have at least 40 skill, so with RK you can get him a 1/5 chance to instant kill stuff. Luna will then activate a ton on the remaining 4/5 percent of the time.

EDIT: If you want, I can give you builds for each of the four above. Just let me know if they are the lead or the support of the pair, and I should be able to get you 3 pairs of two who can solo that map no problem

Also, I really want to see a fic about Lucina becoming the Queen of Plegia. Would be a hell of lot of fun.
Morgan the all powerful FTW.

Still if anyone finds some good Solo/duo Halloween-y pictures of male Robin/Lucina,, I'll take them off your hands.permanently.

Robin: Veteran, Ignis, Rally Spectrum, Galeforce
Chrom: Dual Strike+, Charm, Aether, Rightful King
Cynthia: Speed+2, Movement+1, Relief, Rally Movement, Galeforce
Morgan: Veteran, Rightful King, Ignis, Rally Spectrum
Lucina: Dual Strike+, Solidarity, Aether, Rightful King (working toward Galeforce)
Laurent: Magic+2, Focus, Patience (he's mainly just to give Lucina S-Support, but I'll be buffing him out too)

EDIT: Heading to class, so sorry that I'll likely be responding later to anything.

Also on the subject of Priam, I simply sent in Robin and Lucina with Chrom hiding. They solo'd everyone.
(Don't get me started on how Morgan is the god of Solo)

And for reference, Lucina and Morgan are parented by Chrom and Robin, Cynthia's dad is Gaius, and Laurent's dad is Gregor.

I take it this is your F!Robin playthrough?

Alright, here are the builds I'd recomend for four of the charaters.

Morgan: Lethality, Luna, Rightful King, Pavise, Aegis
Chrom: Dual Strike +, Dual Guard +, and if you have access to the DLCs for it Limit Break, Aggressor, and Resistance +10
Robin: Ignis, Luna, Galeforce, Tomefaire, Dual support +

For Lucina you have two build options.
  • If Lucina is the lead: Aether, Luna, Dual Strike +, Galeforce, Pavise
  • If Lucina is support: Dual Strike +, Galeforce, Dual Support +. Dual Guard +, Athema

I will get back to you on Laurent and Cynthia, i need to go read up on that skills they have access to.

Alright, for Cynthia get Luna, Tomefaire, Astra, Galeforce, and some filler skill. For the stragety for her is you want to move her and Morgan up to the first enemy on their turn, switch to make sure Cynthia is in the lead, attack. Then on the bonus galeforce turn move to the next enemy, switch to Morgan as the lead, then attack. Morgan will be tankier due to Pavise and Aegis. Repeat each turn

Now onto Laurant...

Oh, for Gregor!Laurant you have access to the single most broken build aviable to multiple characters.

Make him a sorcerer at the end. Before that get Vantage, Vengance, Wrath, Armthrift, and Tomefaire. Get an Katarina's Bolt and forge it for max crit. Basically what happens in now when laurant is at less than half health he'll have a +20% crit, which with the high crit tome and vengance he will basically one shot almost anything. And since vantage means he moves first, he'll just oneshot stuff even when its not hist turn.

This just in! The song "Conquest(Ablaze)" from Fire Emblem: Awakening is in Smash Bros. for Wii U in the Coliseum stage.
Awesome! Hopefully Destiny (Ablaze) makes it in; that's one of my favorite themes from Awakening.

so how are all my old fellow Lucina supporters doing? Didn't post to much the last 2 months however I have been playing smash a lot and I did keep an eye out on this thread ofcourse.

I have to be honest with you guys however, I actually do not main Lucina :( I found out that diddy is just to much fun for me to play. I do use her from time to time so I hope I can share some interesting stuff though :D

also Cordelia costume to good!
Welcome! I mostly use Lucina as a back-up myself, though there's definitely room for improvement.
Awesome. Who are you going to have Morgan marry?
I still haven't decided yet... I'm debating between Yarne and Inigo because I haven't gotten their supports yet.

Alright, there, my build advice is done. Let me know if that helps.

(PS, you might want to pick up Exponential Growth and/or Lost Bloodlines 3 to make the grinding for that less painful)

I haven't had much time to play with school, and I've been trying for Priam on my original run, so I'm at the chapter where you set the boats on fire. When I do play it, though, I've been grinding Lucina and Morgan. I'll probably get the EXP map soon to make it an easier process. I plan on summoning character on my first run to grind it, but I'm worried my team on run 2 aren't strong enough for them.
Luckily the EXPgrowth map can be done by characters of any level, just make sure you have weaker characters attack the weaker enemies (the enmies never fight back, just run from one end to the other) and attack the most powerful ones only with ranged weapons (since they have counter)

Lost Bloodlines 3 is good for late game grinding since it is filled with a metric F-ton of mid-level enemies, allowing you to basically put a character on the fort at the middle of the map and just let everything suicide on you. Since no matter the level of the character you will get a minimum of 8xp, you can level up very quickly with this method. Just only put four characters on the map. Chrom (because you are forced to), a flying unit to carry chrom up to the top left corner of the map so the enemies can't reach him, the unit you plan to grind, and the unit you are going to pair with them. Weapons with 1-2 attack range are preferable, so tomes, throwing axes, and throwing spears if you can.

There's a meme going around based on this video and it's pretty hilarious:



Chrom and Lucina get into strange shenanigans without Robin around lololol.

Have you been using Second Seals? I see a bunch of skills here that won't help you.

First of all, ditch the _+2 skills. They are not worth it. The only stat boosting ones that are worth it are Avoid+10, All Stats+2, and Resistance+10. Second of all, remove Veteran. By the time you fight Priam, Veteran should be pointless.

Since Lucina and Morgan have full class access, you are free to build whatever unit type you like. Here are some of my skill recommendations:

Luna, Aegis, Pavise, Lifetaker, Galeforce, Renewal, Vantage, Vengence,


A good generic strategy is Vantage/Vengeance/Armsthrift/Celica's Gale. It's how I can beat Rogues and Redeemers 3 with only 2 units (That and the fact that they are Limit Broken with A support).

I take it this is your F!Robin playthrough?

Lethality is unreliable. The effect can be replicated with Aether or Luna, which have a better activation rate.

You rely on Critical hits. In my experience, Crits are just a bonus. You are better off building around the characters base power rather than his added power. Instead of giving Laurant a Katarina's Bolt, give him a Celica's Gale and forge around maximum might and hit. Combine that with Vantage, Vengence, Armsthrift, and Tomefare, and you get a much more reliable way of killing things. In addition, you get two chances for Dual Strikes, not just one. Give Lucina a forged brave sword/lance and Armsthrift, and you will have a maximum of 12 hits. (Make sure you have armsthrift, otherwise you are going to run out of durability really fast.)

Normally I would agree 100%, but this is M!Morgan who can't get aether and has access to Rightful king. RK!Morgan is the only case where Lethality actually becomes good, since it will have an at least 20% activation rate. M!Morgan will have an 20.25% activation chance with Lethality as a grandmaster (not counting Limit Break and pair up bonuses). Then add Luna on top of that and it no longer is an completely bad idea.

To be fair, I was manly basing that off an actual valid build. Two days ago I spoke about this really broken Lethality build you can do with M!Morgan, but that requires you to make sure Robin has skill as her asset, have Morgan's father be Inigo is is Chrom's son, then make Morgan an assassin, then pair up an swordmaster with him, and you get an over 25% lethality rate plus then an 65ish percent luna (figuring in that it will only activate 75% of the time at the most). Ends up with 90% chance to either Luna or Lethality, with over 25% of all hits being an instant kill.

Thanks, I'll note all of that and work out a strategy on grinding. I'll probably do Laurent first since he seems to have the most potential.

I only recently started using Second Seals, but I will be making it a habit. I'll keep all this in mind as well. I'm definitely getting Luna for both, and I'll look into the others for sure.

Maybe I just have insane luck, but my Lon'qu has Lethality and I swear it activates all the time. It's even simultaneously activated with Vantage a few times.

Thanks, both of you. I'll note everything and sort it out (plus continue my Robin/Lucina run). Even though I'm on the last Paralogue, I have plans to venture into DLC, so it's still worth making my units as strong as possible.
Gregor FTW.
Gregor's awesome. I adored him from his first line. I'm actually using him more on my Robin/Lucina run (where he's with Nowi) and my Yarne/Robin run (with Lissa, though they've only B-Supported so far).

EDIT: And yes, this is my F!Robin run. The original one, not the Yarne one.

Okay, I have it mostly down. I'm just debating on where to end (except on Laurent, who will end on Sorcerer for sure).
Chrom: assuming I don't get Dread Fighter (he'd end there otherwise), Great Knight vs. Great Lord
Robin: Sage vs. Valkyrie vs. back to Dark Flier vs. Grandmaster
Morgan: General vs. Paladin vs. Great Knight
Cynthia: Sage vs. back to Dark Flier
Lucina: Great Knight vs. Great Lord
Hey, Lucina mains. If you could change lucina's moveset, how would you change?
*Recovery changes to her spin move from Two Falchions.
*Change her final smash to either performing the Awakening or attack with the future kids, or at least give her the Awakening health bar

There are more, but I'll have to watch her moves in Awakening in detail first.

(has been updated, or at least in the process of being updated, since this was made)
at least this gets her wait stance right. It has a few other neat moves as well. The n-air is particularly nice.
I played quite a bit of this before the launch of Smash 3DS, it's one of the more complete and polished mods out there (though PM physics meant it took me a while to adjust to the 3DS).

For Chrom end on Paladin since it has better pair up bonuses than Great Knight (even if you just use one more second seal to put him back at level 1 paladin) Though if you get the Dread fighter DLC, make Chrom this for that magic bonus to Robin when he pairs up with her.

For Robin end on either Sage for pure magic output, or Dark Flier for really good magic (not quite as high as sage) but added maneuverability and speed.

For Morgan it depends on what you want to do with him. He could literally be any class you want, so choose it based on fighting style (if you plan to have him be balanced in terms of using both magic and swords, make him a grandmaster. If you want to go pure Melee go Paladin, if you want to go magic make him an sage or sorcerer). Since he's going the tankier route, Sorcerer would not be a bad idea simply due to Nosferatu.

For Cynthia go back to dark flier, more so if you make Morgan either a sage or an Grandmaster (better pair up bonuses for that).

Lucina you might actually want her to end up as an Dark Flier (for the same reasons stated above) since she'll be with Laurent, though an Great Lord or Paladin won't be aweful.

With each of these, all you need to do is send them back to level 1 of the end class, just to get the stat distribution you want.

Thanks! I have my plans worked out now and can get going on grinding. I just need to see how much of the DLC I can get for Chrom's build.

Out of curiosity, which final classes did you decide on for each?



EDIT: Also, if you havn't recruited Inigo or Owain in your other two playthroughs yet, make sure for the love of all that is holy to have them inherit Galeforce.

Robin: Sage
Chrom: Paladin
Morgan: Grandmaster
Cynthia: Dark Flier
Lucina: Dark Flier
Laurent: obviously Sorcerer

After I recruit Priam, I want to work on some others (especially if I try Future's Past so I can get as many of the conversations as possible), but these will be my core team.

I was think that for the recovery move but every time I do, I think it would be like Ike's for some reason
