that reminds me of something that I sort of think about when it comes to Awakening. The game takes place 2000 years after FE3 and there is no real technological improvement in the world. It's a standard trope in medieval storylines, but I feel there is a good story there somewhere. Or an interesting one.

One of the original ideas for Awakening was to have the game take place in present. While that probably wouldnt work, I think Fire Emblem is ripe for a really cool steampunk setting. The problem is that once you go steampunk, you can't really go back to medieval, unless its a side story. Final Fantasy went in that direction and in many ways the series is completely unrecognizable (also the death of turn-based non-strategy JRPGs as blockbuster titles).
Well, we might see a FE set in the future soon, since Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem is said to take place in the present.

You know, I have to say, of all the character support threads, this is definitely my favorite.

Most of them are freaking out and panicking over their characters or about the leak they aren't in, and we're just chilling out and talking about how underrated and awesome Lucina is.

So, keep it up guys, is what I'm saying .

Only here does a discussion on a character's Final Smash turn into making said character a cyborg.

We keep things chill here and in the Robin thread as well. Sure, we get completely off-topic sometimes (very often :troll::troll::troll:) but we have great on-topic discussion in here as well. EVERYBODY HAPPY!:happysheep:

Welp all this talk made me play Awakening again.

I'm not sure why but from the Mila tree onwards there's just a slew of Defeat Commander chapters where I've been able to consistently 1 and 2 turn the chapters. Including when the boss is WALHART. As much as the balance in Awakening can be off, it is a fun game to LTC because you have so many more options with Galeforce and the like. Favorite part was a little maneuver I did last night where Panne lugged Maribelle across half the map, who then Rescue staffed Cynthia/Lucina. They stabbed a random General and Excellus on the way to Walhart and then bam, Lucina time. Sumia!Lucina is such a great boss-killer. Glad I didn't delete my Lunatic file.

What class did you guys finish Lucina in? I'm expecting Great Lord for the most part. On my Lunatic+ file, I have her as a Galeforce Assassin lead while her hubby Gerome tanks...I don't remember the skillset off the top of my head though

Sage/Dark Flier. Those are her best classes. :172:

Great Lord. Best balance between her high speed stat without completely boning her strength and defense, i.m.o, plus Swords + Lances is great especially when Lucina has access to Super Effective damage on Riders, Armors AND Dragons in that class (Noble Rapier yo).

Though it's hard to get a slow Lucina. Guess that's why Marth's speed was nerfed, Lucina can't be 'between Ike and Marth' :p

Lucina was destined for that +5 SPD modifier, or at least faster than Chrom regardless of mother. Lucina has to be FASTTTT if she's in Smash.

Man, I'm not remotely capable of Lunatic playthroughs yet. I'm still pretty iffy on Hard... Oh well, one day I'll get there. :bee:

Anyway, every Awakening playthrough thus far, I consistently keep Lucina on the front lines. Not because she decimates the battlefield, but because I can't help but want to hear her skill/critical hit lines as frequently as possible. Love 'em. I really want to hear them in a potential newcomer trailer in the coming months ;).

Assassin Lucina: Galeforce, Dual Strike +, Luna, Bowfaire, Limit Breaker

Str - 52 + 5
Mag - 22 (didn't bother wasting the time to max this out)
Skill - 61
Spd - 59
Lck - 57
Def - 40
Res - 39

Her setup was meant to serve me well for Apotheosis (Secret Quest) - Felt as though Dual Strike + was definitely necessary so I could make sure I'm striking as often as possible since the enemy units skillsets were crazy...having the speed too for x2 - x4 strikes was also nice. She served well as Physical Support due to the boosts she offered. Overall I was pretty happy with my Lucy :)

I purchased every last bit of it just for the sake of supporting. Some maps I could've done without, but I don't regret purchasing all of them.
I'm considering doing the same. I purchased a few things already (future past and a couple bundles), but I haven't got everything quite yet.

The bundle with Golden Gaffe, EXPonential Growth, and Infinite Regalia is definitely the most common. For those that plan on taking the Apotheosis map, Limit Breaker is required so you'll be needing the map featuring Ike if you don't have that one already. Just for starters.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely look into all of those.

Smash introduced me to the characters and music of Fire Emblem and peaked my interest in the games (as it has done with many other franchises). In response I bought a 3DS and Awakening. Though it's unfortunately the first and only game in the franchise I own, it has made me fall in love with the FE world and characters as a whole, making want to get as much out the game as possible while I'm trying to figure out how to get ahold of the other titles in the franchise at a decent price (I'm not doing well in that regard yet...). I love hearing the people on this and the other FE threads give their insight and express their love for the characters and games as well.

Eh, long story short: I'm a new fanboy, and you all are going to get a LOT of 'likes' and questions from this direction, if you haven't already.:b:

...I hope that wasn't too off topic of a rant, haha

Ah, it's all good. There are plenty of people around who have only played Awakening. I'm just happy that the game is great enough to really reel players into the series.

Glad to have you apart of the FE support threads!

Nice to see this thread has still been hustlin' bustlin'. ^~^

On my current file, it is the first unity of Chrom and Olivia. I hear Lucina is pretty strong with Olivia as the mother. :)

I've only tried Robin and Sumia prior. Robin felt like tying a chainsaw to a bazooka: technically she makes Lucina even more deadly, but a bit excessive. Sumia as the mother was fine, but boring.

I did Chrom and Sumia on my very first playthrough and have used Chrom and Olivia on every other playthrough after that. I believe Sumia~Lucina is more suited for a defensive Lucina while Olivia~Lucina I get more offense out of her (from my experience anyway). That's what I like most from my Lucina :grin:

I'm never straying from Sumia!Lucina ever again. Not because she /particularly/ enhances Lucina in a significant way, considering that all Lucina needs are her Lord skills and Cav skills she can get from Chrom (Luna), but because Cynthia then means a slightly worse second Lucina. Aether + GF on a daughter > Rightful King + GF on a son (bugger off, Inigo). And Kjelle can't get GF off of Chrom and is a pretty subpar choice.

And Robin!Lucina was total overkill. I didn't even need teams anymore O.O

I wonder - we've been assuming this would happen for Robin, since that's her thing - but could Lucina have a moveset in Smash that derives from all the various classes she can be?

I don't see Lucina using any weapons outside of sword/lance. It's a possibility, just very unlikely I would think.

Though Great Lord Lucina & Chrom can use both swords and lances, I think they'd only use swords in Smash. Switching between sword/lance seems highly unlikely.

I tried Olivia~Lucina one time and used it every playthrough since. After taking Olivia and Lucina through most of their classes, Lucina's Skill was so high she would activate Lethality (and other skills) 90% of the time, on top of her other awesome stats to the point she would absolutely destroy pretty much everything.

I'm not the most experienced FE player, but Lucina seems extremely powerful no matter what you do with her.

For a second, I interpreted your post as meaning that your Lucina could activate Lethality 90% of the time, but I quickly came to my senses because that's impossible :p

But yeah, Lucina will be awesome no matter what <3

Some things just can't be bad I guess. I just wanted to get Chrom and Olivia together because those support convos are really adorable. I feel like the game tries to hint toward Sumia and Chrom though so I do go for that every now and then, I kind of like the idea of having acces to GF without having to reclass for some reason, might just be me being lazy :troll:

To all of you, who are your favorite characters in Awakening, this hype in this thread lately made me wondering.
I find it hard to compare childs and adults.
For childs I like Lucina, Morgan, Severa and Gerome most.
for adults I like Chrom, Tharja, Anna, Robin, Cordelia, Vaike, Virion, Olivia and Nowi. Most of them because of their personality. Vaike and Virion are way to funny. I just can't stop laughing when Virion says "w-wait". Nowi and Olivia are adorable bayond limits.

Kids are Owain, Morgan, Batman Gerome, and of course, Lucina.
Adults are Chrom, Tharja, Henry, Robin, Gaius, Anna, Gregor, and Tiki,

So in the end I decided to go back to Sumia!Lucina.

I own all the DLC. While you don't need perfect characters for them, I think I'll have an easier time with some defensive skills, so Lucina can survive several encounters much more easily. The Great Lord class is the closest thing Awakening has to a playable Soldier. so I rather enhance her staying power than to go overkill with more offensive skills than I know what to do with. Having access to two awesome swords, Aether, Rightful King and decent stats, it's not like she has a hard time doubling just about any enemy.
