I’m probably the only one that used Ross as a warrior. I liked the flexibility of having a bow for flying units since I would rarely use archers/snipers. Though I did like Rebecca and Neimi.
Amelia always became a beast as a general for me.
Neimi is on point for me right now and she’s only halfway leveled.
Meh Neimi gets decent stat boosts…
None of the archers were really that great…
However she is the best archer you’ll get sadly…
I picked the Sniper class because of the innate 15% crit boost they all get…
EDIT: I was done with Innes(if you ain’t got him don’t worry) because that would get like 1 upgrade per level up…
After I leveled up and all he kept getting was health increases and no speed or anything like that I was done with that nigga…
Also make sure you recruit Gerik…
Hands down one of the best units in the fucking game…
Sacred stones is the easiest ever
fun tho, my favorite thing was to get 3 assassins. they wreck train
Swordmasters are true swag.
And yeah, Sacred Stones is… piss easy? Even if you don’t abuse Valni you can get away with using basically anyone. The only unit that isn’t viable in a no-Valni run is Ewan and even then you can do it.
Yeah it does feel pretty easy mostly because of the free extra exp from the monsters and the Valni tower.
“Even if you don’t abuse Valni” was included for a reason, ya know. Outside of a few levels (FUCKING PHANTOM SHIP) it is a very simple game even without all the gimmicks IS added to make the game even simpler.
…Well, for Fire Emblem at least.
Phantom Ship was a bitch. 
Oh man that damn ship. I had to take that level so slowly to avoid any character deaths. Speaking of character deaths, do any of you restart a mission if anyone dies? I could never get myself to keep going after losing someone and would always restart.
I always tell myself that I’m going to play through the game without restarting live or die, but I always end up re-trying levels when a favorite character dies.
The map where you fight Selena is probably the only hardest map in TSS. The game is generally straightforward and easy with a lot of broken units, even on hard mode you should cruise through TSS.
You can’t go wrong with Ross. A lot of people make him into a Beserker, but as a Warrior he still gains high caps (especially that 30 str cap) and access to bows. The only reason you wouldn’t make him a Beserker is if you have any plans to turn Garcia into a Hero, which isn’t a smart move because you will lose out the 30 str cap which shits all over swords gain. Amelia should be made a general, but if you experiment with her as a paladin she will be better than Seth and Forde. You should already have Kyle and Franz as great knights, and so making her a general will cut back on mounted units plus general is the best class in the game.
Snipers are useless in FE8. Sure Shoot is the worst Skill in the game seeing how Snipers already have high caps in skill, which affect hit rate %. Make Neimi a ranger and she will get 1 more cap in speed, better movement, swords access, etc.
There is literally no hard map in Sacred Stones.
That game is just too easy. I really hope they ramp up the tactical difficulty in the new FE
I always restart, I used to reset the game so that I could re- roll a battle. ( I’d play the same scene until the character would live through the encounter. ) but then it got tedious. so I just let it be and restart the whole chapter.
That’s pretty much why I have yet to finish any Fire Emblems because I keep restarting chapters when something goes awry and ends up getting one of my character’s killed. Trying to play through these games without having anyone die is tough.
I’m actually stuck in an area in the first Fire Emblem in Hector’s mode where there’s units coming in from all different sides and I have Hector handling shit at a bottleneck by himself why I have my other forces scattered. Hector is of course beasting everyone that comes in his path but he’s already fully leveled up at that point and isn’t doing the rest of the team any favors by taking experience others could have. Hector is beastly but being out there alone for several turns takes its toll and that’s when I usually have to make a decision that ends up with someone getting killed. I’m gonna have to fire up that SP up to remember where that spot is…
So you after browsing this thread I decide to boot up TSS on my psp, and I’m doing a hard mode run with me going Ephraim’s route. So far I already have few promoted units, and I’m trying not to tower grind any of my characters.
Lute = Sage
France = Great Knight
Neimi = Ranger
Vanessa = Falcoknight
I just reached Fort Rigwald so I pretty much used all the promotion items up until this point. I always make Lute a Sage because the access to light magic and 30 MAG cap shits all over riding some pony, though I will definitely miss out on the CON bonus Mage Knight gives.
I made France a Great Knight because he’s usually the first Cav I use my Knight Crest on. France is beast as a Great Knight, he always caps most of everything and Great Knights have better caps than Paladins.
Neimi a Ranger because Sniper are useless. Better speed, movement, and access to swords.
Vanessa a Falcoknight is probably not something you should do because Wyvern Knights are better, but I plan on abusing Triangle Attack and I need at least 2 Falcoknights (Tana is a waaay better Wyvern Knight than Vanessa).
Any news on the new Fire Emblem?
Other than the DLC characters and the fact that the game is still selling decently over in Japan? No not yet. We may not here anything until closer to the end of the year. Maybe around September.
Just read up on the new FE. DAMN
It’s like they put the best parts of every FE in one game. Now I only need to read up on the support system and as to whether it’s legit hard and not annoying hard like FEDS and imma preorder this shit
restarts the mission so everyone comes back
FE fans the the time is almost upon us. If you haven’t been in the 3DS thread then the game will be out on Feb 5th and if you preorder it at GS you get an extra artbook that has art done by one of the artists of No More Heroes.
