I've got some good strategies down for the Prologue and Chapter 1, but are they good enough to set us up for success in Chapter 2? Let's test some things, look at some preliminary ideas, and brainstorm some even better solutions!

One of my long-term projects has been to develop a strategy for Lunatic+ that satisfies a few special goals:
- Don't pour all the resources into Robin. I want something that can support the deployment and training of a full army.
- Don't use the full water trick in the Prologue. It's really annoying to do, and it's extremely frustrating when Robin gets destroyed by a crit from an Elthunder Mage 50 turns in. This makes the first point more necessary, since I'm not going to get Robin to level 8+ in the prologue.
- Allow Asset/Flaw combinations that aren't strictly optimal for clearing Lunatic+ (for which the best is probably +Spd/-Skl) but are better for post-game optimization, in case you want to take your L+ clear file into No-DLC/No-Rally Apotheosis or something.

For additional resources on Lunatic+, check out the methods developed by Interceptor (tinyurl.com/interceptor2Lplus), @kuroittv5015 (no-contest-creations.com/fire-emblem-awakening-resetless-lunatic-guide ), and @oEllery.

Special thanks to muhmuhten for developing a custom code patch for me that produces (approximately) fixed growths, but cut down by 20%. That means that, for example, a 60% growth rate gets treated as 0.48 and does not provide a stat point when leveling from 1 to 2, but does provide a point on the next level because 0.96 rounds up.
