PLEASE help. STUCK

[~LeXAyrA~]

Hi, I just recently started playing FE4, on my comp. And I'm stuck...I'm currently on Chapter 2, and this is my situation. I just captured Anphony, and made my way down toward HeirHein, to fight the rein-forcement Socials, and the Duke and Paladin. But, my HP is low, and Ethlin died the turn before, Making my defender of Evans, Cuan, leave. So I made my Ardan  use his "Return" ability, so he could defend the castle. But the 5 Peg-Knights are coming at me. And Ardan, who is only lvl 9, ALWAYS, dies from them, so they take my castle. This is my status right now.

Azel, lvl 13, is still somewhat north near Anphony, with only 12 HP.
Aira, lvl 15, is near HeirHein, With 28 out of 38 hp. Next to Lex.(For a child.)
Lex, lvl 18, is also where he should be, with full health.
Noish, is level 14, with 12 HP, near HeirHein.
Holyn, is still default everything, I just got him. But got attacked by the DukeKnt. So he only has 23 HP.
Levin, lvl 10, is picking apart the Socials with low resistance. But get's wittled down some hp every turn.
Sigurd, is lvl 14, But I REALLY dont' want to waste my time using him when I can be training other units.

No one can reach Evans, so I can't get to Ardan any way. Dierdre IS in there, so I've been leting her GUARD, to put their HP down, and been Putting Ardan in the Gate, so they can't get in if Dierdre dies, but they both always die. Help??? I REALLY don't want to start over...

You should warp Levin to Evans, so that he can recruit Fury. Do you have a staff user with the Warp or Return Staff near him?

[St. Pius X]

Levin should be the one Warped or Returned to the home castle.

If Sigurd has the Steel Lance, he can at least damage the Social Knight and Paladin without killing. Damage calculation is Attack Power - Defense, so you can check if he's going to kill the enemy or not.

Also, are you using everyone or just those listed?

[Wander]

Starting the chapter over from that point isn't that bad, but I'll save you the trouble. Lachesis and Adean can still heal units, so have them healed. Also, some screens would be nice.

[king of kapathogia]

This is what I do.
I put Levin, Midir and Sylvia in hte castle. When Fury's Party get close to Evans, you send Levin talk to her, or if a peg knight is in the way, send Midir to kill this peg and then Levin can talk to her.
And if Fury is too far you make Sylvia use the dance skill on Levin so he can move twice.

[St. Pius X]

Levin can solo it against the pegasi; he just has to be put on the mountains. Fury tends to wait right next to him anyway.

[~LeXAyrA~]

Those are ALL of the people I have. And I'll try to put some screens up in a little bit. And by the way, one question. What does it need to say to KNOW that they will have a kid."You and ??? are bound for eachother"?

[Wander]

Wait, so Lachesis, Adean, Cuan, Ethlin, Alec, Deirdre, Sylvia Fin and Beowulf aren't with you?

I honestly suggest you start again, especially if this is your first playthrough.

By the way, if the two are lovers (apart from Ehtlin, Cuan and Deirdre) then all they need to do is survive until chapter five.

[king of kapathogia]

Lexayra, honestly....
START AGAIN!!!

[Togie Togs]

Lexayra, honestly....
START AGAIN!!!

... why? It's one of the better pairings for Ayra. Unless you're planning on actually trying to explain why he should start again, refrain from giving out pairing advice as you obviously suck at it.

[~LeXAyrA~]

I don't think he was talking about Lex and Ayra. But anyways.
Now I am starting to see how many people really did die. I did start a second Record, but haven't saved it over the other one. So there's seriously no way to restart a chapter in this game?

[Wander]

Huh? What are you on about? Of course there is. But I thought you had gotten your units killed back in Chapter 1, too.

By the way, if you do use the autosave feature, don't make it save over your current file.

Togieduo: Lexayra as the user, not the pairing.

[theshim is the shimiest shim of all the shims that ever shim]

So you have no one who can use staves besides Deirdre, who is holed up inside Evans.  You also do not have Lachesis, Aideen, or Sylvia.  Correct?

Losing Sylvia is less than horrific; there's a case to be made that  Laylea and Sharlow actually outweigh Leen and Corple.  (One that I will not argue right now.)  However:  without Lachesis or Aideen, and with no way to get anyone to your castle short of selling and rebuying the Return ring, which I don't know if you can do at the moment, (the only thing that would matter is if Levin had 20000 gold - if he does, warp him back) I must also recommend starting over.  The second generaton, while possible with replacements and a low-level Fin, is going to give you some serious hell if you're having this much trouble with the first, and while a Lex-Aira Lakche is insane, she can't do everything on her own.  You'll still have Aira's kids and Celice (and later Leaf and hopefully Sety and Fee will be good - LevinxFury is recommended - and Tiltyu's kids still have a chance) but honestly, the rest of the first generation and the beginning of the second are going to be extremely difficult.

And by the way, one question. What does it need to say to KNOW that they will have a kid."You and ??? are bound for eachother"?

If it says that, and they survive until taking the second castle (I believe) in Chapter 5, then they will have the kids.

I was talking about the user, not the pairing.
Lex x Ayra is a great pairing, it's almost blasphemy to say the opposite.

[~LeXAyrA~]

It really isn't that I'm bad at the game. It's just my first time through. And had NO Idea that The Peg-Knights were coming. And Yes...Dierdre is dead. This really sucks lol. I probably will just restart. But I just wasted so much time keeping Lex and Aira on the tiles next to eachother. Are there any other pairings reccomended from Early-Game units?

[St. Pius X]

There is no need to keep Lex and Aira together so often since they get a conversation in chapter 3 in which Aira gets a Hero Sword and they get +100 love points. You'll have to wait until chapter 8 if you miss out on it and the only way to miss out on the Hero Sword is to have Aira in love BEFORE Chapter 3. Plus, since Lex will have a level lead later on thanks to Elite, he can afford to glue himself to Aira later on. Chapter 2 is all about "going across the map as efficiently as possible" anyway.

Aideen - goes well with Midir, Beowulf, or Fin. Pursuit Ring on Lester makes Jamka|Aideen viable.
Lachesis - Beowulf, Alec, Fin, Azel. Pursuit Ring on Delmud makes Levin, Noish, etc viable.

Sylvia - Levin is the technically the best, but since neither of her kids are primed for combat( Dancers just plain suck at fighting and Priests have too little move), Claude is the most convenient pairing due to Corple being able to inherit any staves Claude has and because there is a conversation to boost their love points. I personally like Lex|Sylvia the most, but I like Lex|Aira more.
The subs aren't bad in terms of utility either. Laylea has Charisma and Sharlow has Elite.

Fury - Levin is the easiest pairing to do with her and makes both her kids good offensively, with Sety being absolutely broken. Claude is the #2 choice. The creators apparently deemed Noish as a suitable suitor since they have a Phinora conversation. Alec brings the novelty of a crit-proof Fee, meaning immunity to Wing Clippers and Bows.

Brigid - Really can't go wrong with a lot of men. Dew, Holyn, Jamka, Noish, Alec. Patty will be a bitch for you to train though; since this is your first playthrough, you'll probably dump her.

Tiltyu - Azel, Levin, or Lex are her primary options. Claude leaves them castrated offensively by not having any skills to pass down. I would actually suggest the subs, Amid and Linda, over other physical fathers(although it seems like Noish isn't too bad, but Arthur gets screwed in Magic; sometimes not knowing what you're doing can reap unexepected rewards, but don't count on it).

Other conversations besides the Lex|Aira can give goodies as well; they can be checked on the fourth page of the Unit menu.

[Wander]

Funny how no-one ever mentions Brigid and Beowulf, which is still an awesome pairing since Patty gets Pursuit and Beowulf is actually useful. Plus, Patty gets a good strength growth and base if you trained up Beowulf.

Tiltyu and Lex is definitely not recommended for first time players. Both will get low magic and an unusually high amount of strength. Use this to your advantage, as Arthur promotes to a Mage Knight and can use B level swords. They also have Elite, Ambush and Wrath, the latter two making them almost invincible once they are under 50% HP. Basically: Attack first, crit always.

In that case, Warp Adan to Evans. Sell his Return Ring.
Finish the arena with Levin and buy him the ring.
Warp him to Evans, put his wind tome to the storage and make him guard the castle.
Once he can talk to Fury, make him leave the castle and recruit her.

[~LeXAyrA~]

You don't understand...NOBODY CAN USE STAFFS. THEY ARE ALL DEAD. And thank you Voltaire.

[hanhnn]

if everyone is dead, you should restart the chapter or else, you can't beat the next chapter
