Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crap i didn't see the 'you're a go' message...

There will be a link at the top of the page towards the right that says "Fire Emblem Tactics Online". Click that.

Gah, I get this suffocating -perhaps it would be better to say stifled - feeling when I realize I have no idea what to do on something. I'm at create a class and i'm so damn intimidated by all statistics and stuff, even by the character description (since I don't want to seem like a blatant newb since I don't know what put). If anyone remembers my asking for patching assistance, know that I am still that technically deficient when it comes to...well, technical stuff.

Should I just go for a premade team? ...Gah, I realize i'm being a nuisance (and I realize that some people say that just to incite sympathy, but I really mean it), but it'd be great if I can just get some opinions...

Oh god, I hate numbers to death. The stat system will always be gibberish to me...please someone recommend me a pre-made team or something.

I'm also looking at the post with all the pictures and I can see how it can be useful, but right off the bat I realize i'm right back to that stifling uncertain feeling when I look at the character creation.

...And yes, I did see that message about looking at the FAQs where one can't summarize on a few easy to understand lines the intricacies of the Fire Emblem system and what to do for this and that...but where are these FAQ's anyway? I can't see any handy-dandy links for them, and I doubt personally they'd help me because my issue is mainly "Oh what's the RIGHT way to do this?" I know there really isn't due to all the character creation and certain builds, but I can't help feeling that i'd rather have a quick pro recommendation of how to start and then ease my way into things (based on what I need to learn and what I need to improve on). Assuming i'm going to use a build without inputting any numbers anywhere, can I get at a bit of a newb allowance by someone telling me what to start with?

If no one does, of course, i'll either just drop the whole thing or do a quick trial run of a random build myself. I'm not pro at all and I don't expect the pros to give me assistance when all the (to me) complicated stat calculator stuff is right there on the site (and they themselves can understand it). When I say complicated, I mean to use and to use properly when deciding stuff for a character.

Ah geez, i'll just say it: only rarely have I actually looked at stats as a deciding factor for things when I play Fire Emblem. I just go by trial and error to find out which characters are good. I don't understand what these stats are supposed to do when combined and how well they'll work with each character, i'm just not that adept.

I guess i'll throw together a pre-made later. Whatever happens happens.

I believe newly-created units can also re-stat unlimited times for the first... week or so.

I can't recommend a pre-made team because I've never used one. They ARE supposed to provide everything you need though.

You're making this more complicated than it is. I highly recommend just playing around with the statistic calculator for a while. FETO doesn't use an RNG for stats; if someone has a 50% Strength growth, it's Strength goes up by .5 every level so you're in complete control of your units. It isn't going to hurt you to play around with numbers for a little bit.

Just read the links I posted. They're VERY new user-friendly (and the first is amusing) and tell you important facts about how the game works to consider when constructing your units (like why you should avoid over capping, how to make skills activate, and how to prevent skills from activating on you).

And you can redo the growths for any unit you just made as many times as you want the first week as it's creation, so don't freak out over making a mistake.
