Random Lunatic+ stuff playlist: • Fire Emblem: Awakening... You want your own 3DS Capture card? United States: www.3dscapture.... Japan: katsukity.blog1...
Normal: Enemies are weak, but don't get comfortable you can still lose a unit. Hard: The enemy is as strong as you are. So pair up and force them into there graves. Lunatic: Do you love RNG like it loves you? Lunatic+: RNG now hates you and plans to kick your nuts every chance it can.
You always have to have the mindset in the beginning in order to survive: "My units are crap. Frederick is my knightly shield. And EVERY ENEMY I FACE IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER BADASS."
Lunatic+. This mode essentially amounts to "Frederick MIGHT just barely survive this round if you're lucky." I especially hate the Absolute hit/Hawkeye skill, as it completely defeats the purpose of dodge tank classes like the Myrmidons. Not to mention the weapon triangle only plays against you.
Its even worse because the enemies have such high weapon ranks and yours are like E or D meaning they get larger bonuses for weapon triangle. Lunatic+ is riding off the hard 5 mode in the DSFE games
If you want a Kaizo Fire Emblem, Lunatic+ Mode is for you. This is insanity. Fred was already lucky enough to dodge the first two Luna+ and get Dual Strikes in return, and it's STILL not enough to steamroll the first few enemies. Also I believe one of the axe guys on the second turn had this ability called Hawkeye, which got him a guaranteed 8 damage on Fred. Weapon Triangle? Doesn't matter anymore. At least for your opponent. That's how insane Lunatic+ is.
In Lunatic and Lunatic+, they WILL move toward you even if you're not in range. And everyone but MU/Avatar, Chrom, and Vaike will get one shot. And even then, all three of them can only take ONE hit. MU/Avatar barely survives with 1 HP vs. a Luna+ Fighter/Barbarian.
Lunatic +, also known as pure BS mode. Lunatic normal is bs enough with absurdly boosted stats on enemies, but Luna+ takes it to absurd levels by RANDOMLY assigning skills that are considered mildly OP on player units.
+Antonio GUILLEN You beat normal lunatic mode. Which, by the way, is insanely difficult if you aren't willing to sacrifice some units early game. It evens out after you get to where you have dlc access for a little bit of grinding.
yeah i tried lunatic mode but it was wayyyy to fuckn hard, i was stuck on ch.3 so I decided to try to get better on hard mode and then probbly play fe:Fates on lunatic
+Antonio GUILLEN Supposedly fates has a more reasonable difficulty curve on lunatic. For the most part, on lunatic and lunatic+ in awakening, you spend the early chapters making one or two characters completely overpowering, and then use them to baby the others until they get levelled up. Lunatic doesn't require strategy so much as it requires kiting.
After completing the game in Lunatic+ classic without DLC as a challenge and to prove myself, I have to say it requires so much intelligence, so much patience, being a good tactician and know very well how Fire Emblem's mechanics work, but I also have to say that I didn't like that mode, because to beat it without DLC you need SO much luck and soft resets for getting better level-up improvement on stats (mainly in the first chapters), and personally I don't like when I obtain something via luck, due to luck does not depend on how good you are. I like to play this game believing that it is a real story, with resetting the game and trying it over and over again, the story's sense gets lost. For me being better tactician is complete Lunatic without resetting it or being killed (or only a few times due to bad luck) than spend days resetting the game and waiting for luck on Lunatic+ (btw sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm not any expert using english) Or, at least, this is my humble opinion :) (I'm not talking about the tactics of creating the best skills sets, reach caps in all units, train them, beating aphoteosis in those modes, etc, I love that, I'm talking about the main story without DLC). Sorry for the long comment and peace!
Yeah luck is a major factor, huge really, Lunatic+ is downright frustrating in classic though it's pretty fun in casual. First thing I did after being Lunatic+ classic? Went straight back to Lunatic. Never again.
Darío de la Rosa I agree completely. The luck factor is a huge part of Fire Emblem in it's core mechanic, and emulates a real battle in that sense. You never know when you're gonna take a nasty hit that will kill a prized unit or have a clutch dodge in the last fight of a mission, and not only is that awesome, but it drives the strategic elements as well. However, the fact that stat growth is completely random ruins Lunatic+ for me. If I let someone level up badly and save, I might as well start over. In general, I think it adds nothing to the game and only serves to let luck determine how good my characters are, which is not very fun. But in Lunatic+ (and Lunatic even a little), it's absolutely horrid and makes me so frustrated when I'm nearing the end of an early game mission and someone gets like a +1 luck level, and I just have to start over because of nothing that I could have controlled or predicted.
I'm on this exact chapter right now with regular lunatic classic mode and... I can't beat it. I hate games where you have to rely on RNG to let you win. Thats not skill, thats crap. The whole point of playing games is to have FUN, not get frustrated. Even smash 4 classic mode on 9.0 was fun and only took me about 5 tries, all without RNG. Yeah, I used Link but hey, who doesn't? Another game I got frustrated by is "Megaman zero 3". Theres a mini game you unlock if you beat the game with 100% score on all levels. Trust me, that final level was insane. I literally had to beat that final level without getting hit by any of the 11 bosses, all in the same stage, and doing it very quickly. It was the worst ever. And my mate did it instead. The mini game isn't worth it. At least in lunatic+ you are allowed to take your time!!
I recently finished Fire Emblem Awakening on Lunatic-Classic and even if I unlocked Lunatic+ I will never ever have the courage to start with the Prologue because those random RNG skills can't stop changing! :O
I've done Fire Emblem SS before, multiple times rather it's not the hardest fire emblem game but I just want to put that out there, and I've learned that critical strikes can be a pain so I just do casual runs myself so don't feel bad about it. Classic while it makes things more epic is still rather annoying when you need to reset to get back a unit you stupidly placed.
edgeriscoll Birthright is my first FE game and I'm actually terrible I don't think, I have gone like 7-8 hours into the game without a single one of my units dying. I've gotten a lot better in just 2 days.
IschmarVI Mashups Slightly unrelated, but I paired up Sully and Virion in my current playthrough of the game. Did the Yarne paralogue, fought both armies, and had a good chuckle as I watched the married couple dodge literally *everything.*
I have beaten Lunatic, not +, and I have to say, it was the worse experience of all of my Fire Emblem days. Here's how it works; Grind forever on the EXPotential Growth DLC, steamroll campaign, get stuck on a level, rinse and repeat. That's it.
LeAlzanatorLe937th That IS pretty much it Especially before chapter 12 and you have to deal with just getting the units to level 20, unless you grab that second seal from renown awards. Also after you beat Lunatic + nothing is ever the same again You just.....can't look at FE the same way again: Everything is death.
Jo L Oh I agree, Lunatic+ without DLC grinding is just bullshit (it is also just bullshit without grinding, frankly). But Lunatic is possible without it.
PKSlowpoke Olivia has one benefit that Donnel doesn't. She's not required to get a level in her introductory chapter, so she can just grind off of DLC.
+Aysha Wattellier Lunatic is not so bad. It might seem hard at first, but after trying to get through Lunatic+ I managed to quite easily get to the end game of Lunatic Classic without deaths by softresetting.
+raptokvortex Oh my gosh you really tipped the scales for finishing the whole game on Lunatic! Did you do all of the paralogue including the Final one with Priam? Well for the moment I finished the whole game on Normal and I recently finished on Hard Casual (Too risky on playing Classic) and I'm still afraid on playing the Lunatic mode because it scares the crap out of me! o.O
Aysha Wattellier Yup, I did all of the paralogues! Use the walkthrough for lunatic+ to beat lunatic initially, since that's an optimised strategy for beating the game mode that truly is impossible. The outrealm gate is a real boon if you get stuck on a level, as you can just make your characters stronger and go at it again, so don't be too worried about lunatic. You'll find it challenging, but that's why it's so satisfying when you succeed!
raptokvortex Thanks for your advice it really helps for me for controlling my fear on Lunatic! :) I will follow the whole walkthrough on Lunatic Classic even if I'll start a new walkthrough on Lunatic Casual. So far I bought most of the DLC Maps and I'll buy the rest of them as soon as I'm gonna get a new eshop card and with the release date of Fire Emblem Fates next month in Europe on May 20 there's a new discount price for buying Fire Emblem 7, The Sacred Stones, Shadow & Awakening with all DLC Maps as a discount price from the Nintendo eshop until april 14th but it's only for europeans. To me the hardest paralogue will always be Aversa, Emmeryn and Prima no matter in what difficulty.
This is the problem with fire emblem difficulty. Normal and hard are always too easy. Lunatic/Maddening is ridiculously hard that it is no longer fun. There is no in between.
hard classic actually is a decent challenge in awakening early game, tbh early game on lunatic and above needs to be toned down, and later game needs to be toned up with hard
Lunatic mode in Awakening is honestly very well designed, Lunatic+ is just stupid, though. The only problem is that if you don't use grind dlc and play it as intended, a large portion of the cast quickly becomes utterly useless (the children, donnel, and any other characters that come to you as fixer-uppers are just not practical to keep with you), but if you understand more complicated parts of the game like using transports to maximize your moves, dual support bonuses, weapon triangle (+weapon level bonuses), the mode can be a very fun challenge. A bad habit a lot of Lunatic players will use is making it to chapter 5 and then running to the outrealm gate to use all their grinding DLC. You learn almost nothing about the game doing that, Lunatic forces you to learn all of the game's most intricate details to make a good army.
this is one of the probably single digit amount of people who beat Lunatic+/Classic with no casualties. He is definitely skilled and possibly diagnosable as insane as a result.
Lunatic+ is only unlocked if you beat Lunatic. Lunatic+ Classic is only unlocked if you beat Lunatic Classic. If you beat Lunatic Casual, you will ONLY unlock Lunatic+ Casual.
Yeah, pray to Naga for protection, that, and send in the mages and archers. Counter only works on direct attacks. I praise the some of the skills were nerfed from their Radiant Dawn, particularly Sol and Luna, but they made another monstrosity: counter.
I don't think Lunatic(+) is justifiable at all. Other than using Fred all the time, there's virtually no possible way to properly train other units without buying DLCs and/or wait several days for Risen to pop up.
I know, its like Normal and Hard are too easy, then you got 1 frustrating mode, then another one which is borderline unplayable, especially without DLC grinding. I bought certain DLC because I wanted to extend the fun longevity of the game, not "pay to win".
So my strategy for this map on Lunatic was to make a wall of three guys at the left side with the forests and the mountains and keep switching and shuffling until the enemies were dead. I only had to sack three or four people, including Muriel who was screwed the moment she appeared! YAY CASUAL MODE!
God dam this looks so much more rage inducing than Lunatic. Finally beat Lunatic Classic today after a VERY lucky RNG chain combo on Grima. I think I need a break before starting this... I can already see the rage.
You should be given a Sandbox Mode where you could run battle simulations, test any weapon with any character, become God, and basically do anything and everything as a reward for clearing Lunatic+.
I just tried Lunatic mode today. The first four chapters are the hardest ones. After I got to he DLC, it was a bit easy since it was only the number of enemies that changed. But holy crap, when I saw the skirmishes Risens... all of them are on freaking steroids. Lmao
After spending literally weeks on this and the next chapter...I realize that there is a right way to do this mode at the start..But you can only do it if the enemies skills allow.
Ok, I'm really curious. Why does every single Awakening video I ever find, regardless of what language the game itself is in, ALWAYS use the Japanese voices. Does everyone else simply despise the English voices THAT much, or am I missing something here? I think the English sounds great ):
The English dubbing in this game is phenomenal compared to the reputation Fire Emblem has for bad dubbing. ...I just dislike one character's English voicing. Unfortunately, that character has more weight to me than all of the other characters in the cast combined. So no English voices for me unless I'm tired of dealing with the Japanese bug or it's SPECIFICALLY recording an English voice clip or something.
lunatic+ combined with classic mode,even with battle saves seems insanely hard,especially protecting the mother characters like miriel. lol battle saves where a unit dies all the time are kind of useless,especially if u keep dying when trying to find a different way like use a different weapon or wait one turn ect.
Oh man, I'm just doing Lunatic for the sake of unlocking the + variant but I won't touch it at all cause there's hard gameplay wise not difficulty based, well to some extent and then there's lunatic + where enemies get skills that only they can get on that difficulty, they are buffed to more absurd levels even more than Lunatic and even trying to grind out the madness that comes without the DLC for exp/gold is just way too much even for those that can play fire emblem well...
i only beat lunatic once. and it took me like 10 tries to beat chapter 3 + 4 so i could finally reach for the god damn dlc -.- after that it was a lot easier. but the final battle with grima was pure luck. although I was very well prepared, it took me 9+ tries to win. I hoped for dark scales to not activate and ignus on my side to work. I freakin screamed when Linfan's 50+ damage hit grima right in the face and actually gave me a chance to win! then I thought "wonder how luna+ is.." the first myrmidon killed me.. critical hit and BOOM. game over xD ah as a quick sidenote. do you try special "challenges"? one of my favorites is "femme fatale" where you only use females and of course on classic + dlc are forbidden. you dont have to play neccesarily as female robin. you're allowed to kill units with fredderick on map 1 until you get sully on map 2. of course chrom and robin male have to be in every battle, and you are not allowed to level them up (remove weapons) also they have to move alone and male robin only gets to be paired so you get your daughter Linfan. god so much text.. I just love how many different "unique ways" there are to play this game c:
well.. why not :3 i was trying to pull a "Frederick Emblem" but gosh thats hard.. frederick on his own can only prevail with the dark knight dlc. or else the paladin class seems to be the only one with enough sustain. also pairing robin and chrom so you only have three characters in battle seems almost impossible.. like in chapter 6 where you have to defend Emmeryn
It's random but all this Lunatic+ stuff makes me ponder if the grinding map is worth buying. Don't need it now since I'm on normal, (what? I'm resetting plenty with classic on, I'd say that's decent for a newb), and it seems like I have enough chances to grind as is but I tend to get focused on trying to fight Spotpass characters and building supports than exp. grinding. >_>
Imagine if they made Radiant Aether as a skill that you assume is just gonna be Aether with a higher chance to activate at first but it works exactly like Ike's while also having the higher activation rate just because.
lunatic+..before you even start your in the game,battle save. if frederick dies on the turn you do a battle save,start over and try to find a different way to get past the cheaters. if frederick dies no matter what you do..start the game over&pray you get lucky. i hate this almost as much as i hate that cheating archer boss in apotheosis secret battle waves 2 and 5+fake ike paladin and fake cynthia falcon knight with aether in wave 3.
This should be "how hard to die". A char can tank 4, 5 emenies for you, reduce their health to killable level for your weaker chars. Fred died fighting many enemies, so... hard to die right? At least, this is what the whole video showed. I don't comment on other parts of Lunatic+.
Same. I just do Normal Casual since I'm a chicken. I'm slowly building my way up the difficulty ladder. Normal-Casual, then Normal-Classic, then Hard-Casual, etc.
And until you do that playthrough you're planning where you didn't grind all of your units to Level 20 promoted by Chapter 5, you shouldn't be either. [/elitist]
Normal: Fire Emblem Hard: Fire Emblem Awakening Luna: Frederick Emblem Awakening LunaPlus: Eire Amblem Fwakening True God King FE elitist play awakening on Casual mode.
Are you on classic? That's why I do mine on casual. I don't mind if you call me a wimp, I take risks in this game, whether it's placing someone who can't attack in range, or whatever, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!
You could have put 1 other character out to reduce loads on Fred. This character is in the aggro range of only 1 enemy so he himself is not in danger, at the same time less 1 enemy on Fred. On other note, I fail to see how "easy to die" - all I saw is you have a char Fred that can tank 4 or 5 enemies, which is much better than many situations I have faced myself.
Lucina's future was set on Lunatic+
LMFAO
That girl did not even have DLC to grind. No wonder all of them are just lvl 10 on their recruitment.
This is possibly the cleverest and most hilarious comment I've ever read
😂
Nice pfp
Lunatic + feels like it was meant as an anti piracy measure.
Like if they pirated the game it’s automatically set to the highest difficulty
Honestly if It would work I feel like. Lunatic + only gamemode to me feel like I'm being actively gatekept
Normal: Enemies are weak, but don't get comfortable you can still lose a unit.
Hard: The enemy is as strong as you are. So pair up and force them into there graves.
Lunatic: Do you love RNG like it loves you?
Lunatic+: RNG now hates you and plans to kick your nuts every chance it can.
So this is how the enemy must feel when they go against you in normal mode....hmmmm...interesting
You always have to have the mindset in the beginning in order to survive:
"My units are crap. Frederick is my knightly shield. And EVERY ENEMY I FACE IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER BADASS."
Frederick: Forgive me! Retreat is my only option!
The rest of the army: Haha, *I’m in danger*
Pick a god and pray.
Even if he listens, it almost always comes at a cost.
The enemy or us?
Lunatic+. This mode essentially amounts to "Frederick MIGHT just barely survive this round if you're lucky."
I especially hate the Absolute hit/Hawkeye skill, as it completely defeats the purpose of dodge tank classes like the Myrmidons. Not to mention the weapon triangle only plays against you.
So that's why that one axe had 100% against a sword
Its even worse because the enemies have such high weapon ranks and yours are like E or D meaning they get larger bonuses for weapon triangle. Lunatic+ is riding off the hard 5 mode in the DSFE games
Once again, I stand in awe...
at how easy it is to forget that nobody has feet.
So... Frederick becomes a temporary Lord?
(Lord death = Game Over)
Lmfao😂 so you have 3 characters that can't die. Fuckin hilarious.
If you want a Kaizo Fire Emblem, Lunatic+ Mode is for you.
This is insanity. Fred was already lucky enough to dodge the first two Luna+ and get Dual Strikes in return, and it's STILL not enough to steamroll the first few enemies. Also I believe one of the axe guys on the second turn had this ability called Hawkeye, which got him a guaranteed 8 damage on Fred. Weapon Triangle? Doesn't matter anymore. At least for your opponent. That's how insane Lunatic+ is.
Kaizo just means rearranged
In Lunatic and Lunatic+, they WILL move toward you even if you're not in range.
And everyone but MU/Avatar, Chrom, and Vaike will get one shot. And even then, all three of them can only take ONE hit. MU/Avatar barely survives with 1 HP vs. a Luna+ Fighter/Barbarian.
And this is why kids, you play this game on hard, and IT STAYS ON HARD
Lunatic +, also known as pure BS mode. Lunatic normal is bs enough with absurdly boosted stats on enemies, but Luna+ takes it to absurd levels by RANDOMLY assigning skills that are considered mildly OP on player units.
+jtnachos16 how does one get lunatic + mode??
+Antonio GUILLEN You beat normal lunatic mode. Which, by the way, is insanely difficult if you aren't willing to sacrifice some units early game. It evens out after you get to where you have dlc access for a little bit of grinding.

+Antonio GUILLEN Supposedly fates has a more reasonable difficulty curve on lunatic. For the most part, on lunatic and lunatic+ in awakening, you spend the early chapters making one or two characters completely overpowering, and then use them to baby the others until they get levelled up.
Lunatic doesn't require strategy so much as it requires kiting.
lunatic,also known as "frederik,plz!!! plz,dodge! FeelsBadMan "-mode xD(i had to do almost frederick-only to get to the dlc-gate xD)
And he got soooo lucky that wole time. Got a crit with a 3% chance and he still died...
That's actually what killed him. Because that space would have been occupied, so Fred ended up taking an extra hit.

Simply put it, I must suck st this game if I die on normal casual
You'll get better at this game with practice. I used to be pretty terrible, but now that I've done a few playthroughs I've slowly gotten better.
I've done Fire Emblem SS before, multiple times rather it's not the hardest fire emblem game but I just want to put that out there, and I've learned that critical strikes can be a pain so I just do casual runs myself so don't feel bad about it.

LeAlzanatorLe937th It's possible, indeed more fun, to play lunatic without grinding.
Andrew Wang A Lunatic+ Nogrind run is....literally hell. It's just death. It's not fun. I did It and it was a living nightmare >~>
Jo L Oh I agree, Lunatic+ without DLC grinding is just bullshit (it is also just bullshit without grinding, frankly). But Lunatic is possible without it.
Andrew Wang ....not even sure I want to attempt it at this point.
Good luck training Donnel and Olivia! ~_^
PKSlowpoke Donnel is SCREWED past hard. he is unlikely to even get recruited because of how puny he starts out.....
thrasher698 lol i know right
thrasher698 Should I even ASK about Olivia? ;)
PKSlowpoke Olivia has one benefit that Donnel doesn't. She's not required to get a level in her introductory chapter, so she can just grind off of DLC.
thrasher698 Plus, she's a dancer, so when you first get her, she's not REQUIRED to get level ups from fighting.

jesus christ dude, and you managed to beat this? i had a hard time with normal lunatic. mad props to you for managing to do so.
this is one of the probably single digit amount of people who beat Lunatic+/Classic with no casualties. He is definitely skilled and possibly diagnosable as insane as a result.
Lunatic Mode is fun. Lunatic+ is... when you're on Casual Mode.
Absolutely NOTHING but "I beat it, I'm proud of myself."
But if you're playing on Lunatic+ and they've got hawkeye and luna, then you're kind of screwed.
LUNAtic+
I saw an enemy unit prock Vantage and Luna, and that told me all I needed to know
Wow it took me 2 minutes into the video to see this game was being played in English.
Spotpass and the Bonus box (as well as your renown) get unlocked after Chapter 3. DLC gets unlocked after Chapter 4.
Lunatic+ is only unlocked if you beat Lunatic. Lunatic+ Classic is only unlocked if you beat Lunatic Classic. If you beat Lunatic Casual, you will ONLY unlock Lunatic+ Casual.
Lunatic plus let's you know that normal lunatic difficulty is just for babies.
i thought it was only me when i was dying so much in hard mode! i mean... ive played the old fire emblems and they werent this hard?!
Yeah, pray to Naga for protection, that, and send in the mages and archers. Counter only works on direct attacks. I praise the some of the skills were nerfed from their Radiant Dawn, particularly Sol and Luna, but they made another monstrosity: counter.
Actually, Counter is from RD.
I don't think Lunatic(+) is justifiable at all. Other than using Fred all the time, there's virtually no possible way to properly train other units without buying DLCs and/or wait several days for Risen to pop up.
This no grind completed playlog would like to differ:

@@shadowofchaos725 Holy fucking shit is that a long post....what a serious fucking gamer lmao
This level took me several dozen resets just on lunatic.
Thank you dark souls.
The speed he's playing at is the speed I play at when I've reset a level for the 10th time on just Classic
As the exasperated Chinese Zookeeper said to the panda:
"Fuck that!"
fucking awakening. the most broken FE game,on both sides xD
I know, its like Normal and Hard are too easy, then you got 1 frustrating mode, then another one which is borderline unplayable, especially without DLC grinding. I bought certain DLC because I wanted to extend the fun longevity of the game, not "pay to win".
@@SilverHunterN grinding in Awakening L+ is still possible without dlc
@@torterraporforn4111 ... barely
😂
So my strategy for this map on Lunatic was to make a wall of three guys at the left side with the forests and the mountains and keep switching and shuffling until the enemies were dead. I only had to sack three or four people, including Muriel who was screwed the moment she appeared! YAY CASUAL MODE!
When Frederick can die in one turn, you aren't playing a game anymore, YOU'RE IN HELL.
God dam this looks so much more rage inducing than Lunatic. Finally beat Lunatic Classic today after a VERY lucky RNG chain combo on Grima. I think I need a break before starting this... I can already see the rage.
I'm thinking the EXPontential Growth DLC might be of some use!
Frederick emblem: the awakening
You should be given a Sandbox Mode where you could run battle simulations, test any weapon with any character, become God, and basically do anything and everything as a reward for clearing Lunatic+.
I like a challenging game, but this is nuts.
Lunatic+, aka "Fredrick's Legacy".
...Do they all have Luna+ as a skill!? This is Lunatic+ and who would play this mode normally!?
I just tried Lunatic mode today. The first four chapters are the hardest ones. After I got to he DLC, it was a bit easy since it was only the number of enemies that changed. But holy crap, when I saw the skirmishes Risens... all of them are on freaking steroids. Lmao
After spending literally weeks on this and the next chapter...I realize that there is a right way to do this mode at the start..But you can only do it if the enemies skills allow.
Yeesh that's harsh. I'm scared to see what the other chapters are like...
This went from "woaw this is going pretty well" to "fuck" real quick
FrederickEmblem.exe has stopped working
Awakening’s a fair and balanced game, right guys?
Ok, I'm really curious.
Why does every single Awakening video I ever find, regardless of what language the game itself is in, ALWAYS use the Japanese voices. Does everyone else simply despise the English voices THAT much, or am I missing something here?
I think the English sounds great ):
The English dubbing in this game is phenomenal compared to the reputation Fire Emblem has for bad dubbing.
...I just dislike one character's English voicing. Unfortunately, that character has more weight to me than all of the other characters in the cast combined. So no English voices for me unless I'm tired of dealing with the Japanese bug or it's SPECIFICALLY recording an English voice clip or something.

@@anekazucconi3253 But without an actual answer... we may never know...
Dear lord, this is brutal. To think I have issues with regular lunatic mode. I don't want to even attempt lunatic+.
Welcome to Lunatic+ *Aka.* _If you lose Frederick, don't bother continuing._
There are units that appear on the side equipped with Mire. The tome has a low enough hit rate, it really shouldn't be anything to worry much about.
vantage+ and Luna+? For the 2nd chapter?
dafuq
Dang bro Vantage+ and Luna+ on Chapter 2? I thought that Conquest was brutal on Normal mode
Hey Sammich
Fred was supposed to be a meat shield... oh well.
lunatic+ combined with classic mode,even with battle saves seems insanely hard,especially protecting the mother characters like miriel. lol battle saves where a unit dies all the time are kind of useless,especially if u keep dying when trying to find a different way like use a different weapon or wait one turn ect.
At least Sir Wary died with magnificence.
He is. It's Lunatic+/Classic. Perma-death.
Get limit breakers, that is unless you want to die repeatedly. If you can't buy it, use forged weapons to their max.
God Mode, ladies and gentlemen.
I know that I am very late but this is not how you create a new difficult as the enemies in this mode are just evil as hell.
Oh man, I'm just doing Lunatic for the sake of unlocking the + variant but I won't touch it at all cause there's hard gameplay wise not difficulty based, well to some extent and then there's lunatic + where enemies get skills that only they can get on that difficulty, they are buffed to more absurd levels even more than Lunatic and even trying to grind out the madness that comes without the DLC for exp/gold is just way too much even for those that can play fire emblem well...
i only beat lunatic once.
and it took me like 10 tries to beat chapter 3 + 4 so i could finally reach for the god damn dlc -.-
after that it was a lot easier.
but the final battle with grima was pure luck.
although I was very well prepared, it took me 9+ tries to win.
I hoped for dark scales to not activate and ignus on my side to work.
I freakin screamed when Linfan's 50+ damage hit grima right in the face and actually gave me a chance to win!
then I thought "wonder how luna+ is.."
the first myrmidon killed me..
critical hit and BOOM. game over xD
ah as a quick sidenote. do you try special "challenges"?
one of my favorites is "femme fatale" where you only use females and of course on classic + dlc are forbidden.
you dont have to play neccesarily as female robin. you're allowed to kill units with fredderick on map 1 until you get sully on map 2.
of course chrom and robin male have to be in every battle, and you are not allowed to level them up (remove weapons) also they have to move alone and male robin only gets to be paired so you get your daughter Linfan.
god so much text.. I just love how many different "unique ways" there are to play this game c:
i think you should be allowed to pick 1 marth from dlc for femme fatale Kappa
well.. why not :3
i was trying to pull a "Frederick Emblem" but gosh thats hard.. frederick on his own can only prevail with the dark knight dlc. or else the paladin class seems to be the only one with enough sustain.
also pairing robin and chrom so you only have three characters in battle seems almost impossible.. like in chapter 6 where you have to defend Emmeryn
ShadowyNeko this....this is just pure evil.
Frederick was the main guy xD
I increased the DEF stat for my avtar and tried to keep his and chroms hp up as well so their survivability was higher
I suppose that would be key...though I suppose uh. using your old avatar might help (if you felt like getting him/her?)
100%hit axe against sword... okay...
Well, that makes sense. It's so obvious I'm actually ashamed of myself for not noticing it xD
It's random but all this Lunatic+ stuff makes me ponder if the grinding map is worth buying. Don't need it now since I'm on normal, (what? I'm resetting plenty with classic on, I'd say that's decent for a newb), and it seems like I have enough chances to grind as is but I tend to get focused on trying to fight Spotpass characters and building supports than exp. grinding. >_>
God have mercy on you. I would do Hard-Classic. Hell, Lunatic-Classic. But Lunatic+-Classic? Heck no, Lunatic+-Casual all the freaking way.
ok not only do they have unfair skills they have steel weapons
and I thought Lunatic itself was hard -_-*
Just a tip some text or narration explaining the difference between this and previous modes would help
You can't use it until you beat Chapter 4.
At LEAST there is no Sol+. That would be even worse.
Imagine if they made Radiant Aether as a skill that you assume is just gonna be Aether with a higher chance to activate at first but it works exactly like Ike's while also having the higher activation rate just because.
I thought that. Then that jackass in chapter 1 keeps hidding me with his hammer, and none of my units are willing to Dual Guard for him.
lunatic+..before you even start your in the game,battle save. if frederick dies on the turn you do a battle save,start over and try to find a different way to get past the cheaters. if frederick dies no matter what you do..start the game over&pray you get lucky. i hate this almost as much as i hate that cheating archer boss in apotheosis secret battle waves 2 and 5+fake ike paladin and fake cynthia falcon knight with aether in wave 3.
This should be "how hard to die". A char can tank 4, 5 emenies for you, reduce their health to killable level for your weaker chars. Fred died fighting many enemies, so... hard to die right? At least, this is what the whole video showed. I don't comment on other parts of Lunatic+.
Same. I just do Normal Casual since I'm a chicken. I'm slowly building my way up the difficulty ladder. Normal-Casual, then Normal-Classic, then Hard-Casual, etc.
Luna+ always activates.
> Battle Save
> I'm on Classic
Nope, just has 100% activation, which is the only thing that + skills have over the originals.
Do you even get something for beating it in Lunatic+ ?
Bragging Rights
Fear the Luna+!
*first 2 procs from the enemy deal 0 damage*
Oh...
Chapter 21 is Plegia Castle isn't it? I usually just have units occupy the stairs.
Half, actually. Half your def or res.
And until you do that playthrough you're planning where you didn't grind all of your units to Level 20 promoted by Chapter 5, you shouldn't be either.
[/elitist]
Yeah you cant have a unit being attacked by 5 units in one turn unless they are really op.
God are you stuck on this chapter to?
Normal: Fire Emblem
Hard: Fire Emblem Awakening
Luna: Frederick Emblem Awakening
LunaPlus: Eire Amblem Fwakening
True God King FE elitist play awakening on Casual mode.
I dont know but isnt it ironic that you are playing on Lunatic+ and you get killed by the Skill LUNA?
I still can't get past Chapter 1 in Lunatic lmao.
I had a hell of a time with this even on Hard mode...I'm doomed.
Are you on classic? That's why I do mine on casual. I don't mind if you call me a wimp, I take risks in this game, whether it's placing someone who can't attack in range, or whatever, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!
well.
you were kind of askin for it. They almost trick you into thinking Freddie can handle things on his own
None of the other characters can handle a single enemy.
Olivia.
You could have put 1 other character out to reduce loads on Fred. This character is in the aggro range of only 1 enemy so he himself is not in danger, at the same time less 1 enemy on Fred. On other note, I fail to see how "easy to die" - all I saw is you have a char Fred that can tank 4 or 5 enemies, which is much better than many situations I have faced myself.
TheGoldspring All of your other units get literally Oneshoted... Is Frederick or nothing...
