00:00 - Opening Cutscene
00:10 - Preparations
07:02 - Battle
=-=-=-=-=
THE CHALLENGE
- I must recruit all 40 characters in the normal playable cast of Conquest. (Capturable enemies and DLC/Amiibo units are not required.)
- Every character must be trained: at the end of the campaign, the sum of their level before promotion and their displayed level in their final class must be at least 25. For the purposes of this rule, Felicia, Jakob, Gunter, Camilla, and Leo are considered to have been level 0, 0, 5, 10, and 16 before promotion, respectively.
- No DLC or multiplayer battles are allowed.
BONUS OBJECTIVES
- Have every character get married. (Gunter, Shura, Flora, and Izana need only unlock an A-rank support with Corrin.)
- For each character, acquire an additional class with an A+ support, if possible. (Characters who can't get new classes this way, like Jakob, should unlock A-rank support with Corrin instead.)
- Kidnap all of the unique capturable bosses.
OTHER RULES
- DLC, path bonuses, visitation bonuses, and battle bonuses are banned.
- No random events in My Castle (Lottery Shop, conversations around the castle, etc.) are allowed. Birthdays are included in this ban. I may use the Private Quarters once, immediately after chapter 6, when it is not random.
- Einherjar, Logbook, DLC, Amiibo, and Bond units are banned.
- Facilities like Lilith's Temple and the Prison that refresh over time may only be used once between maps. The exception is that I can use them, upgrade them, and then immediately use them again.
- I am allowed unlimited food and gems, but not Dragon Vein Points.
- I can acquire a Chef's Hat. I cannot visit other castles for any other purpose.
- I may manipulate results from the Mess Hall according to the abilities of my best chef. (So I can't get Exquisite meals until I acquire Jakob, Peri, or Percy.)

![Ive finally cracked it [Awakening Lunatic+, Chapter 1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g3NDx0G8Xg0/mqdefault.jpg "Ive finally cracked it [Awakening Lunatic+, Chapter 1]
I put some extra hours in at the Fire Emblem content factory this week, and that led to a big breakthrough: a new, reasonably consistent turn-by-turn strategy for Chapter 1 on Lunatic+ difficulty in Fire Emblem Awakening.
One of my long-term projects has been to develop a strategy for Lunatic+ that satisfies a few special goals:
- Dont pour all the resources into Robin. I want something that can support the deployment and training of a full army.
- Dont use the full water trick in the Prologue. Its really annoying to do, and its extremely frustrating when Robin gets destroyed by a crit from an Elthunder Mage 50 turns in. This makes the first point more necessary, since Im not going to get Robin to level 8+ in the prologue.
- Allow Asset/Flaw combinations that arent 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 (https://tinyurl.com/interceptor2Lplus), @kuroittv5015 (https://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.")
