Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, my problem is that Eliwood stinks and can't attack the dragon unless he can kill it in one stroke because it gets to attack him twice... my only hope is to get Athos to be able to attack twice, because with Luna he can take off 2/3rds of its health in one fight (1/3rd per hit -- does the same to Nergal...)... but last time I tried I didn't manage it, attacked with Eliwood when the dragon had 22hp, and died because Eliwood only does 18 damage with Durandal.

Lyn is great (yes, if she gets hit she takes a lot of damage, but has a pretty high dodge...), but can't hurt the dragon much... Sol Katti does very little. Reinfleche (Rachel) also does nothing... Florina with the Rex Hasta manages to do 8, but she's about the only one other than Athos who can actually hurt it more than a point or two I think... (well, maybe SOMEONE can, but only Athos and Eliwood seem to be able to do damage worth mentioning.)

Anyway, the thing to do I think is beat the dragon in turn one. Athos attacks with Luna, gets healed, gets given a second turn, and kills it. ... I hope that that'll work, anyway...

Anyway, I got The Sacred Stones. I've heard it's shorter than the first game (especially since a third of the game is split, forcing you to replay it to see all the missions), and easier (the first three missions are QUITE easy), but oh well... maybe I'll play it on Hard? :)

I know, FE's difficulty is frusterating, but I wouldn't want it any easier... I would like the supports system to be seriously reworked (did they fix that in this game? The number of turns required for supports in FE was just so insane that unless you sat in front of a boss for 100 turns a few times you'd never get them...), though.
