AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I laugh at people who rank up their people before level 20.

Also, I got my best friend to play PoR.
But he plays with the combat window that shows you unimportant info. Like...he has no idea how much damage he'll do, or take, or how likely he'll be hit, or how many times he'll attack...
it bothers me and he won't change it. ._.

And like...he's not doing it for a challenge, he really just doesn't care.

Hell, I didn't even know you could do that. Not that I would want to...

I haven't upgraded any characters to second tier classes yet; I don't have anyone up to level 20 quite yet. Several characters are getting close, though. I have promoted all of my trainees in Eirika's story. I promoted Ross to a pirate, Amelia to a cavalier, and Ewan to a shaman. Anyone think I did anything wrong?

I wouldve made Amelia a Knight but thats just me. She makes a truly silly General

Yeah, I also like making Amelia into a Knight then a General.

I've been doing the first level of that tower in SS Ranking up ERRYONE.
So far
Franz>Great Knight
Colm>Rogue
Tana>Wyvern Knight

aandd I think that's all I have the items for right now but I have many more units close to level 20, so when I get the items they'll be close to being ready.

EDIT: Oh, I have a Guiding Ring.

C'mon, Lute! Time to Class up!

The ONLY characters I ever promote before 20 are clerics/priests, because unlike dancers who can grind for exp for free at any time, they can only grind when someone is injured, which is hard when all your units are so good.
The only Recruit I used was Ross, the others just don't come soon enough or wield axes.

In efficient play AKA lowest turncounts you tend to rank people up by around 10-15

Thats awful.

Plus I'm thinking about going through Por and...actually reading the words. And then hopefully the story and characters will be motivation to complete RD...

so I found my SS cartridge the other day. I'm nearly at the end of the game, and grinding in the Lagdou Ruins. Gerik is a freaking BEAST as a Hero, and Marisa is an excellent Sword Master.

Not really, it's more efficient to promote your units earlier because those extra stats you gain are clutch early-mid game and enemy stats are not that high endgame to where you absolutely need to have a 20/20 unit to pass the chapters. The only 20/20 you really need is Ike in PoR and that's not much of a problem anyways as Ike doesn't get promoted until chapter 17 anyways.

In PoR the only characters who are worth prepromoting are Laura. She maxes her magic stat much too early and level 2nd tier class stat caps are too low.

Also the best time to use Bonus exp is when a character maxes their main stats. Since Bonus Exp levels 3 stats every time it's best used to max stats with lower ratios, like defense for mages or resistance for archers.

This is how my Shinon got every single stat maxed out, and became my MVP in FE10, upstaging Ike and Nephenee by twice as many kills.

I can't see L'Arachel or Innes mentioned in the game without thinking of

how does one pronounce Innes or L'Arachel
