Trade trading, rescuedropping. Things like hand axes and javelins can be traded between the same characters that use them, basically to get another hit on an enemy your own unit is blocking, or take the vulneraries they're carrying so they can heal if they can't do anything else.

Seriously don't hoard vulneraries, they are meant to be used to top off your hp for things like this. Also you shouldn't need to worry about breaking weapons and it probably won't happen in the span of 1 chapter anyway.

Let the enemies movement become part of your movement. Let the enemies come to you. If it takes more than one round to kill an enemy, chances are you are better off not wasting your movement to stop to fight it as it will waste it's own movement to fight you anyway.

Check enemy ranges and sit your tanky fucker right on the inside so they run at him and do no damage
There's only a handful of maps with any sort of time pressure in this game so you can safely turtle up, do the above and slowly walk your blob of units in the direction of the enemy, killing whoever attacked you on your turn
You need to have at least 4 more attack speed than the enemy to double hit them which makes your life a lot easier
Attack speed is usually the same as the unit's speed, but if the unit is using a weapon with more Weight than their Con stat then their speed is reduced by the difference between the two
Being able to move further on the map is good
Magic is good because most enemies have crap Res compared to their Def stat so magic will hit hard easily
Your life will be easier if you use stat boosters instead of hording them
You don't need to level everyone up
You don't need to wait until the level cap to promote, and promoting mages will let your healers also fight or let your fighters also heal, compressing their roles
Bosses give whoever kills them way more experience, basically a free level if said unit isn't promoted

Advanced play is pretty much just
>rescue chains

>>743391021
the weapon triangle: swords beat axes, axes beat lances and lances beat swords
take care with flying units and arrows
Use the terrain when possible, dont throw an unit into 5 enemies (unless overpowered of course)
Some enemies can be recruited (usually the ones that have portrait and are not the chapter boss)
Anyway the game is very easy and shouldnt be a problem to figure these things out while you play it

New players often think in terms of "my turn is when I attack." Experienced Fire Emblem players think in terms of "how can I set up the enemy's turn?"
If you place a durable unit just inside enemy range, several enemies will attack them during the enemy phase, and your unit will counterattack each time (assuming they can retaliate at that range). One turn can become 4–5 combats instead of just one. This is why characters like Seth are so strong: they can safely absorb multiple attacks.
Generally: Knights/Generals hold choke points, Cavaliers/Paladins are flexible attackers who rescue allies well, Pegasus Knights reach isolated targets but are vulnerable to arrows, Mages deal with high-defense enemies, Archers safely chip flying units, and Healers are worth protecting because healing is incredibly valuable. Trying to make everyone fight everything usually goes poorly.
Always look at terrain bonuses. Forests, forts, mountains, and similar tiles can provide: Avoid (harder to hit), defense, and sometimes healing.
Many new players think "I should save Seth because he'll steal experience." That's technically true, but it's often taken too far. If using Seth keeps everyone alive while you learn the game, use him. Over time you'll naturally learn when to feed experience to weaker units.
Check enemy ranges constantly. This is probably the single biggest habit to develop. Before ending your turn, ask yourself "Which enemies can attack?", "Which of my units are in range?", "Can I lure only one enemy instead of four?" Fire Emblem rewards careful planning much more than aggressive rushing.
Rather than asking "How do I kill all these enemies?" try asking "Where do I want the enemies to attack me?"
That shift in perspective is one of the biggest steps toward understanding Fire Emblem's combat flow.

>>743391021
Its a turn based game. You have infinite time to think out your strategy and make a decision. Don't just run in to a crowd of units without a plan. Put your heavily armored units on the front line. Watch out for mages. Pay attention to the weapon triangle.
If the game hints that enemy reinforcements are coming, place your units on the stairway. They'll block them from even spawning.

If all else fails use Seth Not just to crush everything but you can also take off weapons from your characters so they can't fight back, and the enemy will usually prioritize these characters even if they can't do damage, even if they can't hit. It's very hard for the enemy to kill Seth even with enemies that have high crit, and the only thing that can possibly kill is him horseslayers, which are few and far between in this game

>>743392135
>Bosses give whoever kills them way more experience, basically a free level if said unit isn't promoted
Adding to this, it's counterintuitive but you actually want to feed bosses to your highest (or at least upper-mid) levelled units. Low-levelled units get tons of exp through regular combat and boss exp is so overkill that they'll waste most of it to the 100 exp per combat cap.

>>743392237
>Some enemies can be recruited (usually the ones that have portrait and are not the chapter boss)
Its unfortunate, but I actually recommend looking up a guide on Gamefaqs about this. In one of the GBA games, there's only a single dark mage that you can recruit in the entire game, and its by knocking on the door of some random house in some random mission. The old games could be pretty bullshit with that.

>>743392438
That's not bullshit. You're taught early on to visit red-roofed houses and it's one of the closest ones to the spawn.

Why sacred stones first?

>>743391021
Seth solos the entire game so it sounds like your problem is you're trying to use units that aren't Seth.
I'm guessing you're falling into the trap of trying to use Eirika because you think the main character is supposed to be strong. In neo-nu-FE that would be true but in older FE the Lord is basically a coughing baby that you need to haul around the map because they're the ones that complete objectives. You'll get a lord that can actually fight once Ephraim shows up.

One of the great things about Fire Emblem, especially compared to other tactics games, is that the math is very simple. Just by looking at two units' stats and doing a bit of mental math, you can figure out exactly how much damage they can do to each other in a fight. Of course, when you go to make an attack, the game does the math for you and gives you this information in the battle forecast, but it's often useful to do the math yourself in other situations. For example, if you want your unit to end their turn in range of 3 enemies to lure them in, you can look at each enemy, do the math, and know that enemy A, B, and C can deal X, Y, and Z damage to you. If you have more than X+Y+Z HP, you know that you're safe.

>>743392694
This, do not neglect your powerful units. You may want to invest more experience into more units for more action economy... Seth can probably solo the whole game on easy difficulty, but this may cause some bad habits to arise.
My point is that your promoted units are really just characters that come loaded with like 2000 extra exp. And Eirika is really not that good. Like anyone can become a god in the Tower of Valni but bases > growth rates

>>743392510
Not him but it's always my suggestion to anyone that never played a FE.
It's easy, has infinite farm, tutorial is not a chore like the blazing sword and explains the mechanics properly, the sprites are colorful and well done and the gba can be emulated of almost anything so it's not a problem to get it running.

I haven't played sacred stones specifically but I've played a few FE games:
Don't try to 1 turn win every encounter
Leaving a couple enemies alive but all your squishies safe is more important than trying to kill every unit in range everytime.
Learn who's your tankiest unit and use it to bait enemies in range of the rest of your army. Usually he'll take little damage and soften up the enemies that attacked him so you can choose who's going to get the kill for XP

>>743391021
Even Fire Emblem 7 felt super hard when I started out, but when you play these games enough you start to get into the rhythm of things and then you start blazing through them. The usual mantra is:
>Use stat boost items instead of hoarding them
>Don't use prepromos too much in the beginning and give exp to the low level units you plan to use
>The AI is stupid and is easily baited to target any unit they can, so put a few units always in range when you have reasonable expectations that they won't fuck you over because you only get to attack one enemy with an unit on your turn
>Scout over enemies that have special weapons so you don't get fucked over
>Raise support level of units by having them stand next to each other and ending the turn repeatedly. The bonuses are stupidly strong
>Dancers are always OP as fuck

>>743394047

>>743394839
Radiant Dawn is really good

>>743391021
The big thing is that the game expects you to be running the numbers. Damage formulas are simple and damage isn't rolled, you know to the point how much damage could be incoming. A lot of other tactical RPGs you can just sort of vibes run and be fine and once you're more experienced you can vibes some turns in FE but often you need to be paying close attention

>>743395516
I liked it but all my units died and I just had the MCs + randoms for the final chapters so I just threw them at the wall until I won. I had like 5 guys on the final chapter.

>>743391021
a few things that helped me go from "fuck these games" to actually having fun:
>don't spread EXP too thin, focus on very few units early on. by endgame you'll be using 12 or less units usually, so you can be as picky as you want (this is extremely important and no one ever brings it up)
>sometimes it's better to let enemy units come to you, especially if you can single them out. if you control the enemy turn you control who gets EXP.
>abuse the rescue mechanic, it'll save your ass multiple times, and will allow squishier, weaker units to safely get kills without getting swarmed on the enemy turn. you can instantly pass the rescued unit to another and have this other use "drop" to place the rescued unit behind it, letting you use it the very next turn.
>weaker weapons (ie bronze) may do less damage but theyre more accurate and will be able to get double attacks earlier than the other weapon types, so don't instantly throw them away once you get stronger ones

the basics of fire emblem are that you should never hit end turn when an enemy can kill one of your guys and that big numbers always beat smaller numbers. it follows then that you should send out your strongest character with the biggest numbers who has no chance of ever being killed and let him kill most of the enemies. this is called juggernauting and it's a time honored series tradition.

eventually you will unlock the tower which lets you grind as much as you want.
also... apparently the trainee units suck? i always thought they were good but never really checked beyond that.

whether a unit "sucks" or not is completely irrelevant for casual play, unless you just wanna steamroll the game with no thinking whatsoever tbqh. you can train up anything and beat the game with pretty much any gang

>>743400741
They're not bad if you can feed them levels, but LTCfags hate doing that so they're always placed at the very bottom of tier lists. Subjectively Ross is worth the effort because FE8 lacks axe users, a lot of enemies use lances and Garcia has a bad habit of getting himself insta'd by a crit.

>>743400741
Trainee units are just more investment for not a huge payoff compared to others
Ross is okay because you get him early enough + it's not like he's competing for slots with other good units and he comes with a 1-2 range weapon and gets half a level just from hitting someone at that point
Amelia and Ewan are halfway in after you've gotten all 3 Cavs and it's a bit more annoying to feed them kills so they can catch up, even if you can do it in like 2 maps

>>743400741
Trainee units aren't bad, it's just a matter of is it worth putting this much effort into a unit that's marginally better than a unit that you already have and is able to kill RIGHT NOW.

>>743400741
They take too much effort to train for not that impressive a payoff. People just use them because they like seeing the level up screen.

I like seeing it as a puzzle, carefully pathing to get them as much EXP on them as possible, and it's really satisfying to see them do more and more damage to enemies. You don't get to see this sort of progress happen so fast otherwise, even when promoting other units mid map.

Plus there's more competition for the small amount of Guiding Rings you get in the game given that by the time you get him you have 5 (I think) other units you might be using.

>>743401641
>I have hallucinated that LTCers and speedrun fags are the same thing, thus making me victorious

>>743401673
That's why FE tier lists are dumb. I've had low tier units get amazing gains, and high tier units gain absolutely nothing all game. You can make a generalization based on their bases and growths, but you can't account for RNG.

>>743401586
>guiding rings
>competition
You get like five, regardless of route. I don't think there are even that many units you can use it on, since Saleh and Knoll come promoted.
The only one with less competition is the Orion's Bolt, since literally only one character can use it.

>>743401725
God damn, that's some low IQ nonsense. Enjoy being poor, nothing you could do, bad RNG!

>>743401725
No shit anon, anyone can get rng screwed in Fire Emblem if you're not playing fixed growths. That's why tier lists also take other things into consideration like bases, availability, how good the class is, weapon ranks, skills.

Higher enemy quality, you split your army and play both routes, localization nerfs for characters reversed, and certain characters get buffs.

It's a real slog to play through, has some of the most unfair unit imbalance in the series, story scenes of armies battling each other stops being cool and starts feeling like a time waster, the large-scale maps just aren't as dense and rich as other FEs which is most apparently when you play Thracia right after.

>>743402859
the way chapters are designed to ping pong your army around the map kind of sucks. there's a lot of annoying down time between maps where you have to do arena shit and juggle your paragon ring around. building up relationship points is obnoxious. there's not a lot of class variety so a lot of the game ends up being smashing samey horse units around.

>>743392694

"Efficiency" only exists as a vaguely nebulous term because people get pissy and assume autism reset fests over LTC. Never mind the fact that no two people can agree on what efficiency actually is, on top of LTC as an entire concept exists as a result of FE4 to 7 in addition to PoR/RD either rating you based on turn count or providing extra resources for going fast. Even Echoes has a turn count medal too.

>>743403484
if people want to compete they should come up with a score system like the ones some of the games have but less arbitrary and stupid. something like - points for tuns taken and characters lost and + points for total levels and enemies killed. that way you are rewarded for going fast but also punished for skipping maps and relying on only a few characters.

I played Sacred Stones as a kid and loved it but never played another FE game. Now the state of the fandom makes me not want to anyway.

Why is loli so cringe and liked only by trannies but shota is based?

Myrrh strikes me as one of those types of girls that doesn't wear panties. This is not really based on anything but vibes, but that's just what I believe.

Because you prefer women being predatory towards you rather than you predating and destroying the purity of a girl

I don't follow, can you post some examples.

Do manaketes have the same hang-ups about nudity as humans? What becomes of their clothes when they transform?

Where are the mods that add an avatar to GBA FE?

While being bratty makes Sanaki correction material, being pure makes Myrrh wife material.

Sanaki is wife material too though

it does kinda make Myrrh stand out.
also. looking back at FE8. it really is just suffering for Myrrh

Which manakete gives the best wingjobs?

Difficulty also affects the fun
In SS damn near every unit is pretty good so you can freely train whoever and be fine
A lot of the other games have a bunch of shitters that will waste your time if you make the mistake of using them

>>743400741
"Good" or "bad" units don't really matter in a game where you can endlessly grind without consequence.

>>743391021
If you're playing on easy you're already guaranteed to be retarded and there's no helping you.

It was my first FE game too and I played on Hard with no grinding because I am not retarded.

>>743392510
you don't have to play any other fe after that as it's the peak

>>743407727
What the fuck was FE 13. 90% of the units were useless at all times. I fully agree.

Oh, that's easy! Just play it your own way and then study the meta. That works for me.

>In neo-nu-FE that would be true
Alear is actually pretty mediocre. she has the speedy memedon template people always make fun of.

>>743407727
you really should try ironman runs bro

>>743394839
wild, RD was also my first strategy game and i absolutely loved it.

>>743392694

This is such a boring way to play

>>743410013
If it ain't broke don't fix it. With how easy it is to stack avoid can reach untouchable levels and snowball pretty hard.

3 Houses?

>>743411281
NTA but 3H doesn't have a good gameplay loop. a lot of people get sick halfway into the game on their second playthrough. they also removed the weapon triangle for literally no reason.

cute

>>743411356
the problem with replaying 3 houses is the first half of the game is the same, and the characters aren't different enough to make the gameplay anything but monotonous
and the most effective way to speed up this slog is to intentionally skip doing most of the off-time church stuff which might as well be saying "gimp yourself to make this less shitty"

>>743411441
>ouses is the first half of the game is the same
Doesn't this just show how bad the game is,? Like replaying the same thing hasn't been an issue for other fe games. Im on my 4th replay of engage and its the same every time but I still like it, I replayed awakening and fates a bunch and same deal there I dont even know how many times I replayed sacred stones, it has a route split but like 3h the beginning is the same but also the end is the same

i've been playing ROM hacks lately off of FE8.
Currently going through Souls of the Forest.
Finished The four kings not too long ago.

They're super fun but I'm getting somewhat bothered by how many ROM authors wanna ram rod gay shit into them mid game.

Four kings had a whole chapter dedicated to these two wyvern dudes who were engaged but now have to fight each other,

Luckily you can just kill off all the LGBT people intentionally whenever you want or bench them so I'm not too bothered.

early promote great knight gilliam is BASED

also shoutouts to hero garcia and assassin colm

>>743406196
Wrong

>>743410134
Slowing down just to feed shitters is objectively more boring than just smashing everything with the good units

>>743411441
and a lot of maps a recycled in the second half of the game, even if the formations are different. 3H is not designed well enough for people to want to do repeat playthroughs, even if it's an okay game.

Sorry i want to think while playing an srpg
