Pair your units whenever you can, especially your Avatar. You probably won't be using a few of the early units for long, so pick a few units to use specifically as pair fodder to buff the unit you like.
Also, make sure you get Donnel from Paralogue 1. He's one of the strongest units in the game (he falls off post-game, but that's not a major problem) after you swap his class away from Villager. Pair him with Frederick to finish enemies that others have weakened.

Rad. Thanks. Frederick is a bad ass. Trying not to use him so much.![[face_tongue]](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.ignboards.com/styles/ign/ign/smilies/classic/stickouttongue.gif "Stick Out Tongue [face_tongue]")
Because of the reclass system, Frederick being a pre-promote isn't nearly as bad as in most other FE games. He's one of the only units (actually, I believe Kjelle, MU and Morgan are the only others without certain pairings (([hl=black]any kid Frederick fathers, Stahl/Ricken fathered Noire, Kellam-fathered Brady, Sumia-mothered Lucina[/hl]) with natural access to the Pavise/Aegis combo, which can effectively halve all damage against him if he has high enough skill.
In addition, Wyvern Rider can give him +2 Strength and two of the Weapon Breaker skills (Swordbreaker w/ Wyvern Lord, Lancebreaker w/ Griffon Rider).
Looks like it's time to start buffing Donnell... I have barely touched him since I got him.
Never played awakening but I clobbered all the gba games plus shadow dragon and Fe6 so my advice is pick a couple units and stick with em
I just started playing as well and I'm kinda bummed that Donnel died in the mission where you get him, i'm on mission 6 now though, would it be worth completely restarting to get him?
I've never played awakening but I NEVER leave a man behind
Don't like losing people permanently in games so I played through casual. However I was unable to recruit Donnel...
Yea. I started playing this game again. The first time I played I only got to chapter 4, and got side-tracked by something.
This game is pretty hard. I'm playing on Normal/Casual, and I'm still having a rough time. I'm not use to a game where characters can be 1-shot or 2-shot'd. And not being able to use items and attacks in the same turn is horrible. On top of that, the power-levels are ALL over the place. Frederick is LEAGUES ahead of everyone. My main character and Chrom are BOUNDS ahead of everyone else. And Donnell and the chick on the pegasus are super weak. I can't even attack with the chick on the pegasus, because the counter attack will normally kill her, lol.
Not sure if I'm going to continue playing it or not. Doesn't feel like my cup of tea so far. Seems like to much of a learning curve for my taste. If this is Normal, I can't imagine how hard Hard is.
