I. (Pretext)

	After much time with link battles, and seeing how there are 
none to be found here, I figured, why not?  Somebody had to make a 
FAQ about it, and who better than myself?  Please be aware that this 
guide may not be 100 percent accurate, nor is it complete, and notify 
me if you have found any errors within.  All contributors to this 
guide will be given full credit in the credits section or where noted.  
And of course, I still have many updates and spellchecks to get done. 
All in due time.

I(ii). (Definitions and Mechanics)

	Here we review some unique words, and battle mechanics.


(A). Definitions


	1. [RNG] (Random Number Generator)  This is how the game responds 
to percentages.  Stat growth, Hit percentage, Avoid, Critical, and most 
all stats are decided by this.  Say you have 80 hit, the RNG will select 
a number from 1-100, if its less than 80, the attack is successful.  If 
it is greater than 80, the attack misses.


	1.(i) [RNG Abuse]  Using a certain method of play, one can
manipulate the games RNG to increase your chances of getting extra stats
at level up.  With extreme abuse of this, you can cap just about every
units stats.  I dont have the exact method available, but I will post
a link once I find it again.


	2. [Boss Abuse]  This is a way of leveling up your unit slowly.  
Boss abuse is taking a character that can absorb all of their weapon
uses, and then slowly attacking them.  It works better when the boss 
is standing on a Gate tile, as he will recover HP and heal most other
ailments after one turn.  Example:  Chapter 10, the boss is Lundgren.  
Take Wallace, and have him absorb all of Lundgrens weapons, healing in
between attacks when needed.  Once all of his weapons are broken, use 
any unit that can damage him, even by as little as 1 hp, and attack 
over and over.  He will gain back lost hp, and you can repeat until 
your have desired results.


	3. [Arena Abuse]  (See section II/B-3)


	4. [AR/GS/CB]  These are hacking devices sold in most areas.
AR:Action Replay, GS:GameShark, CB:CodeBreaker.  See section VI/B for 
more on AR hacks.


	5. [US]  This is the Uber Spear, a stat boosting weapon.  It 
is the most powerful weapon in the game, see section VI/A-2 for the
best way to go about getting it.


(B). Mechanics


	1. [Mt, Wt, AS, and Con]  These are stats with unique effects.
Mt is weapon might (Attack), Wt is weapon weight, AS is attack speed, 
and Con is constitution.  Wt can affect AS if your Con is less than the
used weapons Wt.   You will lose 1 speed for each point that Wt > Con.
AS is attack speed, say you have a unit with 20 speed, and 10 Con.  He
has a Steel Blade equipped (14 Wt).  This means his AS is 16, meaning he
can be double hit by any unit with 20 AS or greater.  Body Rings can 
increase Con, but they are rare.  Always remember your AS when equipping
a new weapon, and look for the Wt/Con difference.  Ill go in to more 
detail shortly.


	2. [Weapon/Magic Triangle]  This is one of the most important 
things to remember in battle.  If you are up in the triangle, you gain
hit and attack, if you are down, you lose hit and attack.  If both units
have the same weapon, then neither is affected.  Weapon Triangle: Axe 
bests Lance, Lance bests Sword, Sword bests Axe.  Magic Triangle: Light
bests Dark, Dark bests Nature, Nature bests Light.  The Reaver weapons 
have a unique triangle as well: Swordreaver/Slayer < Lance, Lancereaver
< Axe, Axereaver < Sword.  


	3. [Critical and Critical Evade]  A critical attack will deal 3X
damage to the target.  Only luck and supports can raise critical evade, 
and the Iron Rune negates it.  Be wary of attacking a unit with high 
critical, as you may regret it.  It is determined by the RNG as well.


	4. [Formulas]  Attack Speed = Spd + Con - Weapon Weight
(Attack Speed is never greater than Speed)

	(i). Double Attacks: If Attack Speed is higher by four or more,
then the faster unit double attacks.*

	(ii). Hit Rate = Weapon Hit Rate + 2*Skl + 0.5*Luc- Target Avoid 
+ Bonuses(Bonuses: +5 if S in weapon, 0-25 from HIT Support, +30, +15, 
+0, -15, or -30 from the Weapon Triangle, and 1-9 from your Tactician 
Rank for units of the tactician's element)*

	(iii). Avoid = 2*Attack Speed + Luc + Bonuses(Bonuses: 0-25 from 
EVA Support, 0-40 from Terrain, +10 if dance Set's Litany is used, and
1-9 from your Tactician Rank for units of the tactician's element)*

II. (Building a Strong Team)

	To make a good team for link, there are some hints here
to follow.  Not all are necessary, but they are highly suggested.  


(A). Supports and Affinity


	1. Check online or wherever else to see who can support with 
who, and to map out your support chain(s) before you start your game.
It helps to have a good idea on how you will set up your supports, 
and will ensure that you don't make a mistake and support with the 
wrong unit.  I almost always have most units supports mapped out 
before I start out, and I never regret doing so.


	2. Check the support table I have available in this guide to 
see which stats will be boosted when supporting.  Each affinity 
yields a different boost to stats.  This way, you can have a team 
that is tailored to your preference.  


	3. Keep in mind that each unit can only support 5 times, 
don't over do it with too many C supports, as the bonus yielded by 
each ascending support level gets better.


(B). Getting good stats via Story mode, and the dreaded RNG


	1. I break down stats into 2 categories: Melee and Personal.
Personal stats are HP, Strength, Skill, Speed, Luck, Defense, 
Resistance, Constitution, and Movement.  Melee stats are Avoid, Hit,
Attack, and Critical Hit.  Getting good personal stats are important,
as they affect melee stats.  With good personal stats and supports, 
you will have good melee stats.

  
	2. This game has a RNG (Random Number Generator).  It can be 
your best friend, or your worst enemy while leveling up your units.  
While getting good stats on some units is simple, others don't have 
the greatest growth rates, making it difficult to do so.  The item 
"Afa's Drops" received in Living Legend will boost the default growth
rates of the unit it is used on by 5 percent.  It can be very useful
if you need a unit with low growth rates to be strong.  Leveling up 
your unpromoted unit to 20, and then promoting will also make your 
personal stats better.  


	3. Arena abuse is an option for leveling up as well.  In 
chapters: The Port of Badon, New Resolve, Four Fanged Offense, and 
Battle Preparations, there are arenas.  You can use them as much as 
you wish, and your character doing the fighting will gain experience 
and weapon growth.  You place a bet, then see your opponent, keep in 
mind you will always be given an iron weapon, or the weakest tome for
magic users.  The AI will get silver weapons and stronger tomes of 
magic as you grow stronger, if you think the opponent is too much, 
soft reset (hold A+B+Start+Select) and bet until there is a weaker 
opponent.  Be advised that while you can surrender during a battle by 
mashing the B button, you must do so quickly.  Always pay attention 
in the arena, and never hesitate to yield.  The arena can be a risky 
place, more so for higher defense units.  It is advised to only use 
it for units with high speed, and low defense.  Here is a quick trick
that can be used for arena abusing.  Namely Ninian and her dances.  
Ninis Grace is excellent, as its boosts your defense and resistance 
by a heap.  Although, with only 15 uses, its not useful for very long.


	4. If your going for a good link team, save all of the stat 
boosting items found in the game until the end.  Then you can 
distribute them to any units that you find are lacking in personal 
stats.  Make sure to use any you find in Lyn’s mode though, as you 
don’t get those back.  Also, make sure not to give too many units in 
the same team S rank in the same weapon.  Variety is nice to have in 
link games.


	5. Use units that are good for link games.  The units with the 
highest personal stat caps are the best to go for.  General, Warrior, 
Great Lord, Berserker, Archsage, Druid, Blade Lord, and Swordmaster are
some of the best to use.  Try to keep your team balanced, the best teams
have the most variety most of the time.  Defense and Speed are probably
the most important stats in link battle, so go with a team that either 
has high speed, high defense, or a good mix of both.


(C). Choosing Good Equips


	1. Having a good equipment setup is vital to success in link 
games.  You want to make a team that can counter any weapon, so equip 
wisely.  Here is an example of a well equipped unit:

	Hector: Armads(bests lances, boosts defense), Regal Blade(bests
axes), Brave Sword(highest hit of the 3 main Brave weapons, 2 attacks),
Swordslayer(bests swords, great hit, extra damage to Swordmasters/Lords
/Heroes), Iron Rune(negates any critical attack)

	In looking at that Hector, his only weakness is his speed, and
his inability to counter archers.  He has a low skill cap, but his
weapons all have high hit.  He can also best each weapon in the triangle,
and is immune to any critical attack.  Here is another example, this time
with a Pegasus:

	Florina: Uber spear(bests swords, counters archers, stat boosting
weapon, for more info, see hacks/glitches section), Rex Hasta(bests 
swords), Brave Sword(bests axes), Lancereaver(bests lances), Delphi 
Shield(Negates the critical and hit increase of bow attacks to fliers)

	Any flying unit should always have a Delphi Shield equipped.  
Florina can best each weapon as Hector did, and she is very powerful with
the Uber spear.  She has little to no weakness.


	2. Getting S rank in weapon levels is important for your link 
units.  It boosts critical and hit by 5 (I think, don't quote me on that
just yet), and allows them use of the best weapon for that type.  Without
S rank, your unit will have a disadvantage against most other link teams.  
Use weapons that will boost weapon levels quickly, like the Blade weapons,
Steel Lance/Axe, Devil Axe (at your own risk), Short Bow, and so on.  For
the most part, the heavier the weapon the more it will increase growth.  
You can only get S rank in one weapon, remember that.


	3. If you have magic units, getting them S rank Tomes is crucial.
S rank in Staves is useless, as none are S rank, so make certain you dont
get carried away healing.


	4. Make sure to watch your units Con when choosing weapons.  
Too heavy of a weapon will lower their speed, which is crucial in link
games.  If Florina is using a Rex Hasta (11 wt), then with out body 
rings she will lose 6 speed.  Leaving her wide open for a 4x Brave Axe
attack from a Berserker with good speed.  


	5. Magic weapons like the Light Brand, Wind Sword, and Rune 
Sword are not all that great in link games, equip them only if your 
certain they will benefit you.


	6. If you know what kind of team you are facing, then you may
want to change your team and equips entirely.  Say your facing a team
of all US units, and you have 3 Swordmasters/2 Assassins, your going 
to want Lancereavers equipped on all of them, or they will be promptly
impaled.


	7. Reaver weapons have a different triangle than other weapons.
A Swordslayer can be bested by a Lance, and so on.  Keep that in mind.
See section I(ii)/B-2 for more on this.


	8. The dark tome, Luna can be devastating in link battle.  It 
has high hit, and it ignores any type of resistance and will damage the
target unit by whatever the attackers magic stat is (sometimes more if
attacker is supported).  A maxed out Canas or Athos with Luna is a 
formidable opponent regardless of supports, or melee stats.


	9. The legendary tomes Aureola and Forblaze are extra effective
against Heath and Vaida, as are Durandal, Armads, Sol Katti, 
Wind Sword, Wyrmslayer, and Dragon Axe.


	10. Make use of the Iron Rune.  Choose a unit that is lacking in
critical evade, or put it on Hector or a General.  It can prove useful 
against Berserkers, Swordmasters, or Assassins.


	11. Be aware that the Purge tome, Eclipse tome, Bolting tome, 
and Emblem Seal can't be used in link games.


	12. If you have the bonus disc packaged with some Mario Kart:DD
games, you can transfer some special weapons and items to your cart with
a GC/GBA link cable.  They will not be available for use until chapter 12
though.  The Body ring included is a key item in making a great team.

II.(i) (Unit Ratings)

	This subsection will review usefulness ratings for the better 
units in Link Games.  Keep in mind this section has its basis on the
assumption of max stats, and not all units can reach that.  If your
looking for more detail on a single unit, see the next sub section.


(A). General- 9.5/10


	The General is probably the most desirable class to have 
in Link Games.  They are tied in highest personal stat caps with Arch
sage, and always have high Defense.  They also can equip the US	at B
rank, making them nearly unstoppable.  All this, plus the ability to
wield axes at promotion, makes the General the best unit for linked
games.  Their huge Defense and Con makes up for their lack of Speed.


(B). Great Lord(Hector)- 9.25/10


	The Great Lord is much like the General, with slightly 
lower stat caps, but can wield swords as well as axes.  Hector can 
also equip Armads, which boosts Defense by 5, and has a high hit rate.
However, it also has a massive 18 wt, so Hector could use a body ring
to make up for his lack of speed when using it.  Still, the Great Lord
is an excellent unit in link games.  I always get Hector to S in sword
rank, since he has Armads, which is nearly as strong as Basilikos, and
makes up for any lack of Speed.


(C). Warrior- 9.25/10


	The Warrior class has some impressive stat caps, and can use Bow
(at promotion)and Axes.  They excel in HP and Strength, but usually lack
Defense and Resistance.  Con is also one of their pros, as all 3 in this
game have at least 13 after promotion.  A Swordmaster can be stopped cold
with a Swordslayer on a strong Warrior, and the use of Bows make the 
Warrior class balanced enough to get a 9.25.  Their high Con gives them a 
chance to double hit with decent AS while using the heavy Brave weapons.
A capped Warrior with S rank in bows, and a Brave Bow can deal massive 
damage.  Some of the best teams possible consist of Warriors.


(D). Berserker/Swordmaster- 9/10(Tie)


	Another tie, as these 2 units are nearly identical as well.
Each receives a +15 to critical at promotion, and both units have high
speed.  With proper supporting, these units can become devastating with
Killer or Brave Weapons, as they can double hit most other units (4X hit
with Brave weapons) and have high Avoid as well.  They lack in Defense
and Resistance, and Berserkers mostly do not get very high Skill.  They
also can only hold one weapon type.


(E). FalcoKnight- 8.75/10


	The Pegasi have high Speed and Resistance, and also wield the
Uber Spear, making them very difficult to hit and dodge.  At promotion, 
they get the ability to use Swords as well, which is better for their 
lack of Con.  They are weak to arrows, so unless you are using hacks
I suggest only using one, as you can only get one Delphi Shield legitly.


(F). Blade Lord(Lyn)- 8.75/10


	Lyn is much like a Swordmaster, except no critical bonus at
promotion, and she can use Bows.  She also has special weapons like the
Mani Katti and Sol Katti.  Mani Katti has 3 Wt(Easy to use), and is extra
effective against infantry units.  Sol Katti has a huge 14 Wt, but has 25
crit, and is extra effective against Wyvern units, plus it boosts Res by 
5. Lyn can be brutal to magic units with Brave Bow/Brave Sword, and enough
speed and AS to double/4X hit.  She lacks in Con, Defense, and Resistance
however.


(G). Druid/Archsage- 8.5/10(Tie)


	These 2 units (Canas and Athos) are too closely matched to 
compare.  They can both use Luna, which is a huge advantage in link 
battle.  Canas (Druid) can support other units, but can only use dark
magic.  Athos cannot support, but he has huge stat caps, and can use 
every type of magic in the game.  Each class has its advantages and 
disadvantages, but are too close to call for me.



(H). Nomadic Trooper(Rath)- 8.5/10


	Ah the sole Nomad of the game, Rath has some potential to be a 
great unit in Link Arena.  He can use Swords at promotion, and should be
at B or higher in Bow rank by then.  He is usually very fast, and stat 
caps are nice as well.  Getting him a S rank in Sword might be better if
your going to put him on a link team, so he can counter more often.  Rath
does have a downside though, he can only support 3 other units, all of 
which can only use Bows and Swords.  Other than that, Rath is usually a 
solid unit if you take the time leveling him.  His Con is actually very
good considering his choices of weapons.


(I). Wyvern Lord- 7.75/10


	Wyvern Lords have high HP and Defense, but are average in all 
other stats usually.  They are also known for terrible Resistance, and
are weak to arrows without a Delphi Shield.  The US can change that 
however, and with high Defense, that +9 Speed boost can be a problem.
The Lords will have an advantage over them with their Legendary weapons,
and Hector can be brutal to them with Armads, even with the US.  Swords
are usable at promotion, and they have good enough Con to use even the
heavier swords.  The Wyvern Lord is at best an inferior General in the 
link arena.


(J). Paladin- 7.75/10


	The Paladins biggest advantage in link arena is the ability to 
use all 3 triangle weapons.  Stat caps are average at best, but Con is 
well suited to their weapon choices.  The Paladin is probably the most 
well rounded unit of all.  They can use the US if their Lance rank is 
at B, and Isadora can be formidable with 2 body rings and the US, as 
she can double hit even the fastest of units.  Paladins also give you 
a lot of variety when choosing supports, so choose wisely.  They are 
not very fast, so it is advised to support them with high Defense or 
Speed units.  


(K). Hero- 7.5/10


	The Hero is a slightly above average unit for link games.  They 
have max Skill caps, and excel in Strength, Skill, and Speed.  Decent 
Con, and supports for both Heroes in this game, but Harken is clearly
the superior Hero.  He has the freedom of not worrying about the RNG 
screwing him, and comes with a nice Brave Sword, and B rank in axe and
sword.  A S rank in axe can be a great thing for Heroes, since most axes
lack in hit rate, and Heroes usually have high Skill and hit.  Raven 
will need time to build his axe rank, and his average Con is not well
suited for this, as most axes are heavy.  A Swordslayer can really help
on a Hero when fighting Swordmaster units.


(L). Sniper- 7.5/10


	The Sniper can deal out damage quickly, without worry of a
counter attack.  They usually have high Avoid, and they will need it,
as most of their time will be spent dodging other units attacks.  Con 
can be an problem when using the heavier Bows like Brave Bow, so use
body rings wisely.  Snipers can be countered by weapons that double as
a ranged attack, and by magic units.  They do have some good supports,
but you should not support 2 Snipers in the same team, as it may be a 
big disadvantage.


(M). Knight Lord(Eliwood)- 7.25/10


	The Knight Lord is a basically an inferior Paladin for the LA.
Caps are decent, but at 24 speed, it really hampers him.  Couple that
with the fact that his legendary weapon Duranal will be weighing him
down by at least 1 AS, and Eliwood is just asking to be doubled by a
Berserker, or US armed General.  His supports are terrible, barring
Lyn, Hector, and perhaps Harken/Lowen.


(N). Assassin- 7.25/10


	The Assassin is a risky unit for link games, but a good one can 
be very dangerous.  Matthew has an advantage over Jaffar and Legault, in 
that his affinity can give him full critical boost via supports.  The 
other 2 cannot.  Their caps are not very good, and they are weak in Res
and Defense.  The OHKO is the Assassins greatest asset.  Equip a Killing
Edge on a supported Assassin, and hope for the OHKO.  Even the strongest
of units can fall to it, but an Iron Rune can be a big problem for these
units.


(O). Sage- 7/10

	
	The Sage uses Anima Magic, which are the best tomes for low Con
units.  You have Nino, Pent, and Erk to choose from.  Stat caps are not
very good, but they are only magic units after all.  You should not be 
using them if you plan to face a team with a US unit, as they will be 
pretty much useless.  


(P). Bishop- 7/10


	Serra is clearly the superior Bishop for LA.  She has 26 for 
speed cap, whereas Lucius and Renault have 24, and will be destroyed
easily by a Berserker or fast unit.  Serra also has great supports, but
all 3 have good ones.  I only suggest using a Bishop for hacked games
though, their Con is just not enough for the heavy tomes of light.


(Q). Valkryie- 6.5/10


	This class simply has no place in the link arena.  Its slow, 
caps are awful, and Con is dismal, even for Anima.  The only use I 
have found for Pris in link games is to form a full support chain with
Hector, Oswin, Guy, and Matthew.  
	

That is ALL the ratings, credit to Magus for nagging me about Eliwood.

________________________________________________________________________/

II.(ii) (Individual Unit Ratings)

	Due to popular demand, I have decided to make this subsection.
This will break down each units LA potential, both for US and non US
play.  The reason being that the US changes the scheme of LA battle
alltogether.  The units are not ranked in any kind of specific order.
I also decided to add stat caps and optimal equips for the units.

*Be sure to take note that the Iron Rune and Delphi Shield are not
listed in any of the optimal equips.  Reason being those items should
be chosen by you, as your team is unique.  A brief review of the items
so you know how to use them effectively for LA games:

*Iron Rune- This item makes the unit equipping it immune to critical
attacks.  That said you should use it on a unit lacking in critical
evade from supports, or use it on a unit that can be doubled by high
critical units like Hector, Oswin, Wallace, or the Warriors.

*Delphi Shield- This item is for flying units only.  Its use is that
it will negate the damage increase of Bow attacks to the flying unit.
That said you should ALWAYS use it if you have a flyer in your team.
Since there is only one of these items, having more than one flyer in
your team may be a big disadvantage.


(A).Lyndis-Blade Lord

Stat Caps:
St:24
Sk:29
Sp:30
Lk:30
Def:22
Res:22

Optimal Equips:
Regal Blade/Rienfleche
Silver Sword/Silver Bow
Mani Katti/Wo Dao/Killing Edge
Lancereaver
Killer Bow/Brave Bow/Brave Sword

Equipment review:

	Depending on your team, you may want to switch this setup some
to fit your needs.  However you should be using all those weapons in
one way or another.  Lyn should also get at least one body ring if you
plan to use her for LA games, she just isnt very solid without it.

Character review:

	Lyn has alot of potential for LA games.  Her supports with Wil,
Wallace, Hector, Florina, and even Rath give you some very nice options
to work with when brainstorming a new team.  Using Sword and Bow, her
Con kind of hurts her, but thats why you have body rings, and given the
units she supports with, she should be able to get 1 or 2 of them used
on her without too much worry.  Stat caps are good, she should be able
to double hit units she is effective against like Warriors, or Dart.
She also has special weapons like the Mani Katti, which will double its
damage to infantry units, and has only 3 wt.  The Sol Katti is not a
very good choice for her to be in the LA with, it is just too heavy for
her to use effectively.  If you can spare her 2 or 3 body rings, you may
consider giving her a Brave Sword or Brave Bow, as she will be able to
4x attack units with 24 AS or 26 AS.  This can be an extra lethal attack
against a Warrior, Druid, or Great Lord.  Lyn has a Wind affinity, which
means full critical boosts for her usually, make use of it.  Capping her
stats shouldnt be much of a problem with some RNG abuse.

US/non-US review:

	Lyn most likely will not last very long in US play.  Seeing as
her only real chance to dodge an attack is with a Lancereaver, and the
counter attack will deal little damage.  She should try to attack the
opponents axe users quickly before she gets impaled.  For non US play,
she has more potential, as she can double the General and still hit
for decent damage with Rienfleche or Regal Blade.
________________________________________________________________________


(B).Hector-Great Lord

Stat Caps:
St:30
Sk:24
Sp:24
Lk:30
Def:29
Res:20

Optimal Equips:
Armads
Regal Blade/Brave Sword
Wolf Beil
Tomahawk/Brave Axe/Killer Axe
Swordslayer/Swordreaver

Equipment review:

	Again you should mix up this scheme to fit your team.  Armads is
a great weapon for Hector, but you should always give him at least one
body ring when using it.  Armads should ALWAYS be used, as it boosts his
defense by 5, and he will need all the defense he can get since he isnt
a dodger.  The Brave Sword and Swordslayer are great equips to have for
Hector.  Usually Hector is very succeptable to being double attacked by
Dart, and even with his huge defense Dart will still cut him up for big
damage.  The Brave Sword or Regal Blade give Hector a chance to not only
dodge that, but counter and hit Dart effectively.  The Swordslayer will
basically render Hector immune to any kind of Sword attack.  The Wolf
Beil is a nice equip to have since it doubles damage to infantry units.
Lastly, its up to you to pick between the Tomahawk(To counter Archers),
Brave Axe(S rank Axe and this can be effective), or Killer Axe.  Last
of all, Hector could make a good canidate for the Iron Rune, depending
on your supports, as he will be doubled often.

Character review:

	Hector is one of the best units for LA games.  His durability
and supports with Farina, Lyndis, Florina, and Oswin give him all kinds
of LA potential.  His ideal support is with Oswin, as they both will be
getting full defensive stat boots, and together can last for a very long
time in LA games.  The Brave Sword gives him the chance to fend off an
armor killer like Dart as well.  Hector is unique in that he can take a
lot of hits from any unit barring Athos and Canas, while still managing
to counter and significantly damage all triangle weapon users with his
weapon selection.  Getting him to capped stats isnt a worry, some RNG
abuse should do it easily.

US/non-US review

	Hector is pretty much the same for either type of play.  He can
hold his own with a US unit, so any team without it will be the same way.
Hector is possibly the ideal counter to the US, with Armads and high
defense.

(C).Dart-Berserker

Stat Caps:
St:30
Sk:29
Sp:28
Lk:30
Def:23
Res:21

Optimal Equips:
Basilikos/Brave Axe
Killer Axe
Tomahawk
Hand Axe
Swordslayer/Reaver

Equipment review:

	Basilikos should almost always be your inital equip for Dart.
Simply because he can use it without AS loss.  You might consider the
Brave Axe for him, but its not likely.  You should only use really use
it when you can afford to give Dart 2 body rings, but given this setup
in non-US play, Dart can 4x and usually defeat a General in one turn.
Killer Axe should also be available to use at all times, Dart has extra
critical, and his affinity can give him full, meaning a critical will be
the end of just about any unit.  The Tomahawk and Hand Axe are the only
other axes that Dart will get some use out of.  They can be a lifesaver
if the battle comes down to just Dart and a unit with a Bow.  The Hand
Axe wont cost Dart any AS loss, but its Mt is very low, the Tomahawk is
heavy, and will cost dart 1 AS loss, but its Mt is much better.
 
Character review:

	Dart is the ulitmate General and Great Lord killer.  He can use
Basilikos to take away their HP like no other unit can.  With the Sword-
slayer, Dart suddenly becomes overpowered, able to seriously damage the
Sword units that are supposed to be able to dodge him.  Dart also makes
for an excellent US counter, and possibly even better than Hector.  Dart
also has supports going for him, with excellent units like Geitz, Karel,
Farina, and Wil to support with.  I would say Dart is the most dangerous
opponent in the LA, given his extra critical.  Capping Darts stats will
take some work, but RNG abuse can get it done.

US/non-US Review:

	In US play, Dart isnt as overpowered, as you have a unit that
can sustain his fierce attacks.  In non-US play though, Dart is without
a doubt THE most dangerous unit you can have.  Any kind of durability
you had hoped for with defense units like Hector, Oswin, or Wallace is
going out the window.  The only real defense against Dart in non-US play
is to use Lyn or a Swordmaster and land a critical, use Hector with a
sword, or hope your General can outlast him using an Axereaver. But even
then, Dart can switch to the Swordslayer and double for big damage.

(D).Geitz-Warrior

Stat Caps:
St:30
Sk:28
Sp:26
Lk:30
Def:26
Res:22

Optimal Equips:
Basilikos/Rienfleche
Killer Axe/Bow
Silver Axe/Bow
Brave Bow
Swordslayer/Reaver

Equipment review:

	Geitz fits into most LA teams as a bow user, and he makes a very
good one.  His high Con allows him to use the Brave Bow with no AS loss,
something pure bow units cannot.  At stat caps, a double hit from the
Brave Bow is devastating from Geitz, and even more so if he has S rank
for Bow.  You should not have him equipped with a bow initally, as he
will be vulnerable to an attack.  So if you have S rank bow, give him a
Silver Axe or Swordslayer/reaver for his equip, not Rienfleche.  If he
has S rank Axe, then Basilikos is ideal for him.  He has the lowest Con
of the 3 Warriors, but at 13, he can still use the weapons he should be
without worry of AS loss.  The Swordslayer can grant Geitz the ability
to significantly damage Swordmasters, Heroes, and Lords, making your
opponent think twice about provoking him with them.

Character review:

	Once again Geitz makes for a great Bow unit, and given his
supports with Dart, Karel, Isadora, and Dorcas, he most likely will be
using the bow.  The reason is that he lacks the Con for the Brave Axe,
an ideal equip for Dorcas or Bartre.  Make no mistake though, Geitz is
an EXCELLENT unit at stat caps and good supports.  As stated earlier,
he can be very nasty when he can hit twice with the Brave Bow, which
has the same Mt as the Brave axe, and 5 more hit for some odd reason.
Getting Geitz to stat caps is an issue, it will take extensive RNG
abuse to get him there, mostly in Res.

US/non-US Review:

	Geitz holds his own pretty well against US units, even if he
has a bow.  The bow will counter the US every time, so this gives him
some breathing room with Rienfleche or Brave Bow.  He can also dodge
decently with a Silver Axe, but beware giving him a Swordslayer/reaver.
In US play its very risky to use it, as the US unit will most likely
double and deal some big damage to Geitz.  His Thunder affinity and
supports give him the option of full critical as well.  That said, in
non US play Geitz is pretty much the same unit.

(E).Bartre-Warrior

Stat Caps:
St:30
Sk:28
Sp:26
Lk:30
Def:26
Res:22

Optimal Equips:
Basilikos/Rienfleche
Killer Axe/Bow
Silver Axe/Bow
Brave Bow
Swordslayer/Reaver

Equipment review:

	Bartre will almost always be your main axe unit for a LA team.
Given his supports, a bow is not likely, but he will be an effective
bow user if you decide to give him S rank.  Bartre and Geitz equip
pretty much the same way, but Bartre is more suited to axes.  At 15
Con, he can almost use the Brave Axe with no AS loss, but he will lose
1 without a body ring.  Its not a big factor, considering the only
units that can still double him at caps are Rebecca and Louise, but
every point of evade does count.  Again the Swordslayer can be extra
deadly to Swordmasters, Heroes, and Lords when Bartre, or any high
STR unit uses it.

Character review:

	Bartre is a solid unit for the proper LA team.  His supports
with Dorcas, Canas, and even Raven give him some potential.  He can
fit in some great teams with Dorcas, and supporting him with Canas
gives you 2 offensive powerhouses.  His other supports are not that
well suited for LA games, that said, Bartre fits in perfectly with
Dorcas or Canas, and maybe even both.  Capping Bartre shouldnt be all
that difficult, he comes very early and has some pretty good stat
growth rates.

US/non-US Review:

	Bartre, like Geitz holds up well in US play.  They are nearly
identical, same affinity, same stat caps, similar supports, but Bartre
gives you Canas, who can be a great threat to the US unit.  In non US
play, he is pretty much the same unit.

(F).Dorcas-Warrior

Stat Caps:
St:30

Sp:26
Lk:30
Def:26
Res:22

Optimal Equips:
Basilikos/Brave Axe
Killer Axe/Bow
Silver Axe/Bow
Brave Axe/Bow
Swordslayer/Reaver

Equipment review:

	Dorcas should be using axes, no matter what.  He has the high
Con, and can use the Brave Axe with no AS loss.  Depending on which
units are in your team, Dorcas should have Basilikos or Brave Axe at
his disposal.  Dorcas is great in that he can counter the US and sword
units effectively with the proper setup.

Character review:

	Dorcas is easily one of the best units to choose for LA games.
He has some of the best support options in the game with Oswin, Geitz,
Farina, Bartre, and even Vaida.  He makes for the ideal axe user, with
his Fire affinity, high Con, and supports.  Getting Dorcas to cap his
stats is tedious, but can be done.  He is known for his awful speed
growth, but with some RNG abuse you can get him to cap, he comes very
early in the game.

US/non-US Review:

	Dorcas is an excellent counter to the US, with Basilikos or
Brave Axe, he makes his presence known in the LA.  He will usually be
supported with durable units, so his stat boosts from them will be in
tact for a good while.  Being an effective US counter, in non US play
Dorcas is the same unit.

(G).Canas-Druid

Stat Caps:
Mg:29
Sk:26
Sp:26
Lk:30
Def:21
Res:28

Optimal Equips:
Luna
Nosferatu
Flux

Equipment review:

	Canas only real use for LA games is to use the tome of Luna.
At capped stats, Luna will deal 29 or more damage bar none to ANY one
of its target units.  It also has very high hit and good critical.  A
critical hit from Luna will defeat any unit, even a 77 HP US unit.
As for the other tomes, Nosferatu can be used as a last ditch attempt
to keep Canas alive, as it drains HP from the target and feeds it to
Canas.  Flux is just a novelty I guess.

Character review:

	Canas makes for a unique LA unit.  He is terrible defensively,
and will most likely not last very long.  However his ability to deal
out BIG damage to any unit with superb accuracy outweighs his lack of
durability.  His only good support for LA games is Bartre, but Vaida
may be an option if your trying to up his stat boosts.  Canas serves
one purpose for the LA, to attack alot and attack hard, and he does
this very well.  Getting Canas to cap his stats is somewhat tedious,
and will no doubt take extensive RNG abuse.

US/non-US Review:

	Canas, while vulnerable to big damage, is a great option to
attack a US unit.  The US unit will most likely take the hit from the
Luna, and 29+ damage.  There are very few units that can deal hits for
that much damage to a US unit in one turn, this makes Canas a great
counter to it.  For non US play, Canas serves the same purpose, to
attack as much as he can before he is defeated.

(H).Florina-FalcoKnight

Stat Caps:

Sp:28

Def:23
Res:26

Optimal Equips:
US/Rex Hasta/Silver Lance/Regal Blade
Silver Sword/Lance
Killing Edge
Lancereaver
Delphi Shield

Equipment Review:

	Florina and her equips really depend on how you decide to sort
your Body Rings.  She only has 5 Con, so without at least one, she will
not be very effective at all.  The US can help her out in the speed and
AS department, but at 10 weight, the stat boost will nearly be negated
by her AS loss.  One thing Florina should always have equipped is the
Delphi Shield, or she will be shot down by a Bow quickly.

Character Review:

	Florina is at best a shaky LA unit.  Her only useful LA supports
are with Hector and Lyndis, and both of them will most likely need Body
Rings.  This really hurts Florinas LA potential, given her low Con.  If
you do plan to use her, you should never have her losing more than 4 AS
or she will be chopped up by Dart.  Her affinity gives her some offensive
power, but again her terrible Con is not well suited to the weapons she
needs to use to deal out decent damage.  Getting her to caps shouldnt be
too much of an issue, she has very good growths in most stats, but RNG
abuse will be needed.

US/non-US Review:

	Florina and the US dont really work well together unless you can
dump 2 Body Rings on her.  Even then she will still lose 1 AS, but should
still prove effective.  In non US play, Florina still needs Body Rings,
since she will need the Rex Hasta, Regal Blade, or Silver weapons to hit
for decent damage.  She is pretty much the same unit in either type of
play, shaky and hampered by her low Con and support issues.

(I).Farina-FalcoKnight

Stat Caps:

Res:26

Optimal Equips:
US/Rex Hasta/Regal Blade
Silver Sword/Lance
Killer Lance/Killing Edge
Lancereaver
Delphi Shield

Equipment Review:

	Farina can serve as a solid unit with proper equips.  Unlike her
sister Florina, she only needs 1 Body Ring to double all units when she
uses the US.  If you can afford to give her 2 Body Rings, she will not
lose any AS, and she will be an excellent dodger.  Again the Delphi
Shield is a must have for her or she will be shot down.

Character Review:

	Farina is easily the best Pegasi for LA games.  Her supports with
Hector, Dorcas, Dart, and even Karla can give her some great options.  In
the LA, Farina makes for an excellent dodger, even more so with the US.
Her Anima affinity gives her great attack, defnese, and avoid boosts.  As
for getting her to stat caps, this should be fairly simple, she has some
amazing growth rates, and her starting stats are excellent as well.  Only
minimal RNG abuse should be needed.

US/non-US Review:

	Farina is a much better unit with the US than without.  In fact,
if you are using her outside of US play, she should be using the Regal
Blade.  She is a much better Sword unit than a Lance unit in non US play.
When she is fully supported, and using the US, she can hit upwards of
121 avoid!

(J).Fiora-FalcoKnight

Stat Caps:

Sp:28

Def:23
Res:26

Optimal Equips:
US/Rex Hasta/Regal Blade
Silver Sword/Lance
Killer Lance/Killing Edge
Lancereaver
Delphi Shield

Equipment Review:

	Fiora equips identical to Farina.  However Fiora has a Wind type
affinity.  This will give her more critical hit, so if you S rank her
lance or sword, then you will want her killer weapon to be the same.  As
with all the other flyers in the game, the Delphi Shield is a must.

Character Review:

	Fiora has some limited LA potential.  She has some strong units
to support like Geitz and Farina, and maybe even Sain or Eliwood.  Fiora
has a big problem though as she too many other Lance units.  Fitting her
in a balanced LA team is difficult to do with any unit other than Geitz.
Then we have the Body Ring issue, as she only has 6 Con, and again her
supported units will need body rings as well to be effective, except of
course Geitz.  That said, she fits best on the end of a support chain.
Capping Fioras stats might be a problem, but she comes somewhat early.

US/non-US Review:

	Fiora is just like the other Pegasi, using the US makes her good.
Fiora has her critical going for her though, so you might just throw her
in as a critical threat for non US play.

(K).Oswin-General

Stat Caps:
St:29
Sk:27
Sp:24
Lk:30
Def:30
Res:25

Optimal Equips:
US/Rex Hasta/Basilikos
Silver Lance/Axe
Brave Lance/Axe
Axereaver
Spear/Killer Lance/Axe

Equipment Review:

	The General is a simple unit to equip.  The US or S rank weapons
are the best choice for their inital equip.  Oswin has enough Con to use
ALL weapons available to him barring the Devil Axe, a terrible equip for
LA battle anyway.  The Silver weapons will sub for his A rank weapon.
The Brave weapons give Oswin the chance to double hit, but its a good
idea to give him the Brave weapon that he has S rank in.  The Axereaver
is key in surviving a Basilikos assult from Dart.  The Spear is used if
you are playing non US battle, Oswin will need a ranged weapon, or he
will be in big trouble if he is the only unit left, and your opponent has
a Bow user.  

Character Review:

	Oswin is a man amongst men in the LA.  His supports with Hector
and Dorcas alone give him huge potential for great teams.  His huge Con
and stat caps make him the most durable unit you can have.  Building a
team around Oswin is never a bad idea, as almost any combination of
supports with Hector and Dorcas will give you a strong team.  Capping his
stats really isnt that difficult, but you will need RNG abuse for luck.

US/non-US Review:

	With the US, Oswin is the most powerful unit in the LA, period.
It will be very difficult to bring him down without Hector, Dart, Athos,
or Canas in your team.  Without the US, Oswin gives you durability and
power, but he is very succeptable to being cut up by Dart quickly.  The
Axereaver can save him from Basilikos, but not the Swordslayer.

(L).Wallace-General

Stat Caps:
St:29
Sk:27
Sp:24
Lk:30
Def:30
Res:25

Optimal Equips:
US/Rex Hasta/Basilikos
Silver Lance/Axe
Brave Lance/Axe
Axereaver
Spear/Killer Lance/Axe

Equipment Review:

	Much like Oswin, Wallace equips the same way.  However you might
consider his Thunder affinity, which gives him more critical hit.  Also
remember that he will lose 1 AS if he uses the Brave Axe.

Character Review:

	Ah Lord Wallace, my personal favorite unit.  While not quite the
Juggernaut Oswin is, Wallace still has some great potential for LA games.
His strong LA supports are limited to Lyndis and Wil, but Vaida or even
Kent could fit in a decent team.  Wallace gives you a different kind of
General for LA games.  Oswin is usually paired with with powerhouses like
Dorcas and Hector, but Wallace fits in more speedy teams with Lyndis and
Wil.  He also can fit in a greater amount of decent teams than Oswin once
you map out his support chains.  Capping Wallace will prove tedious.  You
MUST use him in Lyndis Hard Mode, with full RNG abuse, and not promote
him until level 20.  Then you get him somewhat late in the game, but if
you RNG abused in LHM to the fullest, he should hold his own easily.

US/non-US Review:

	Same as Oswin, Wallace will be a monster with the US.  He tends
to be a bit more of an axe user than Oswin, given his supports.  Without
the US, Wallace will have to worry about Dart and Basilikos, but other
than that he is a durable unit.

III. (Supports)

	Supports are key in any strong link team.  This section will 
review good strategies for making supports as effective as possible, 
as well as getting them in story mode.


(A). Support Basics


	1. Getting supports is tedious, but if you desire a good link
team, they are a must.  As I noted earlier, you should review section
IV and get a good idea on how you want to progress through the game. 
Supports will boost stats like Avoid, Critical Avoid, Defense, 
Resistance, Hit, and Attack, so they are important.


	2. To get 2 units to support, make sure they can do so, and
have them wait next to one another for 50+ or so turns.  Eventually,
the support option will appear under the action menu, and the 
conversation will take place.  Some supports will take more than 50
turns to enable, so be patient.


	3. There are 3 levels of support, C, B, and A.  Supporting 
with the same unit twice gets you B, and 3 gets you A.  A support 
will boost stats more than B or C, as you can only get A with one 
other unit.  Each unit can support a total of 5 times.


	4. Its a good idea to try for supports on chapters when the 
goal is either Seize gate, Defeat(Boss), Kill all units, and so on.  
In other words, chapters where you have no limit to the turns.


	5. Make effective ways of getting supports.  After you get 
2 units to support, keep them next to each other for another 50 or so
turns.  This way, if the next chapter has limited turns, you can 
still get their next level of support.


	6. Pick a unit, and stick with them until they have your 
desired weapon levels and supports.  I pick 3 or 4 units to support, 
get them each to S rank in a weapon, and then keep them for 3-4 
chapters until they all have full support.  This way, you are done 
with them until the end of the game, leaving more slots open for new 
units to support.


	7. Remember who is supporting who.  If you want to support a 
unit that comes late in the game, don’t use them too much in the 
beginning, but more in the mid to late parts in the game.  Say you 
want Guy to support Priscilla and Karel.  Get him to B or A support 
with Pris early, then save him for later on to support Karel.  


	8. Its all right to leave some units with no supports.  I 
usually end up with 1-3 units with no support.  Do not try to cram 
it all in at the end, just remember the supports you must have, and 
let the others go without.  And remember that you can get 2 supports 
in the Final Chapter.


(B). Advanced Supporting


	1. The best way to go about supports is to have a full ring.  
All 5 units supporting one another.  Example: Geitz, Isadora, Harken, 
Eliwood, Fiora.  With proper supporting, those 5 units can make a 
full ring, making them all the more formidable to take down.  


	2. The downside of the full ring is that one unit must have 2
B supports instead of the suggested A and B.  IMO, its worth it to 
give 3-4 units 2 B supports to make a full ring with 4 others.  Example:
Geitz(A Isadora, B Fiora), Fiora(B Geitz, B Eliwood), Eliwood(B Fiora, A
Harken, Harken(A Eliwood, B Isadora), Isadora(A Geitz, B Harken).


	3. Try to use variety in choosing which units to support with.  
A team with 3 Bishops is not going to fare well in link battle against 
a strong opponent.  Try to refrain from supporting with the same type 
of unit more than once.  2 Warriors is acceptable, but 3 does not give 
you much variety.  


	4. Speed and Defense rule the link arena most of the time.  
Make your team strong in one of those categories.  A team with all 
fast units or all defensive units will do well in link battle most of
the time.  A team with a good mix of both is also a good choice.


	5. Every team can benefit from an anchor.  A unit with high 
HP and Defense serves as the best anchor.  Hector, Oswin, and Wallace 
probably make the best defensive anchors.  While not required for a 
strong team, they are useful in that they will take the least amount 
of damage possible without having to evade the attack.  Hector and 
Oswin can support one another, and their affinity gives both of the 
maximum boosts to Defense and Resistance.  Together they make a 
formidable duo, and a great anchor for any team.

V. (Advanced Strategy)

	This section will review good strategy to prepare for, and win
link battles.


(A). Know Your Opponent


	1. I make it a rule in my link games to know exactly my 
opponents units, stats, equips, and all of that stuff.  This way I can
prepare for them.  Although, anymore I only play hacked teams, so that
is why I ask for their teams data.  It makes for a more interesting 
link battle.


	2. Prepare accordingly.  If your opponent has a Druid, then he
will most likely have Luna equipped.  Therefore, you need a unit that 
can either evade the Luna attack, or be able to double hit him and 
finish him quickly.  A Swordmaster with a Brave Sword equipped is an 
excellent counter to this, as he/she will get 4x attacks.  Or say you 
are facing a team with multiple Uber Spears, there is not too much you
can do, but you can manage to make a team ready to fight them.  


(B). In Battle Strategy


	1. Having the first strike can be a huge advantage, so make 
sure you make it count.  Go big with a Luna or Uber Spear/S rank/Brave
Weapon attack.  And always make the best choice on who to attack.  The
game lets you see all the stats before attacking, so make the most of 
it.


	2. If your using a unit with no or little supports, have them 
attack as much as possible.  Like Athos, he cannot support, but he can
deal out a lot of damage with Luna before he is defeated.  Afterward, 
the rest of your team will not lose any support stats.


	3. A bow user can be trouble.  Most of them have high avoid, 
and their attacks cannot be countered without a weapon that doubles as
a ranged attack.  Most of those weapons have low hit as well, so if 
your attacking an Archer or Nomad with a bow equipped, make sure they
have high hit.  


	4. Take advantage of weapons with special abilities.  The 
Swordslayer is an excellent equip for link battle.  It has very high 
hit for an axe, and will deal big damage to Swordmasters.  Or the 
Brave weapons, which can hit twice in a row, or sometimes 4 times.  
Reaver weapons are also suggested for link battle, each unit should 
have at least one type of reaver weapon, unless they are magic units
or Paladins, who have access to all 3 weapon triangle weapons.


	5. Don't be afraid to take a risk, as it is one of the 
biggest keys to success in link games.  I am often hit with 20 or 
lower hit percentages in link battle, so if you can finish a unit 
in one turn, go for it.


	6. The Assassins can OHKO (One Hit Knock Out) a unit even
if they cant deal enough damage to do so.  While they are mostly
weak in link battle, with a high critical rate, and a Killing 
Edge they suddenly become very dangerous.  If your opponent has 
them with high critical rates, finish them off with a strong lance
user, or a unit with an Iron Rune to keep their hit as low as 
possible.


	7. The Uber Spear changes link battle dramatically.  Units
can become overpowered, and very difficult to defeat without 
proper strategy.  The Pegasi and Isadora with maxed out speed and 
a US can double hit even 30 speed characters.  There are few options
to counter the US, but here are some things you can do:

	(i). Attack US units with Axes, or Luna.  Most anything else
will do little damage, or end up hurting you more.  Armads, 
Basilikos, Killer and Brave Axe are good axe choices.

	(ii). Use Hector, Dart, or another strong axe user.  Hector 
stands up well with Armads against US units, as does Dart with his 
high speed.  

	(iii). Lancereavers are an option to avoid an attack, but 
will most likely do little counter attack damage. 

	(iv). Try to make the unit with the US switch to a new 
weapon.  Example: The unit is Oswin, and he has low HP.  Seeing that
your Dart can defeat him in one blow, make your opponent think about 
switching to an Axereaver or some other weapon.  Once the unit no 
longer has the US equipped, attack them hard before they can switch
back to it.


	8. This is common knowledge, but you should always try to 
follow the weapon and magic triangle, unless you have a very good 
hit rate.  Luna is an example, as it will most likely hit even 
Bishops and their light magic.

V(i). (Link Options)

	This subsection will review the options in the Link Arena 
menu.


(A). Edit Teams


	1. This is where you choose a file to make a new team.  Pick a
file, pick your units, equip them, name the team, and your ready to 
go.


(B). Practice


	1. Here you can choose to practice against your own teams.  
There is up to 4 teams available for a single battle.  The games AI 
will use 3 of the teams, and you will use one.  The games AI decent, 
but not all that great.  It often is just too easy to beat it over 
and over.


(C). Linked Battle


	1. This is the real deal.  When your ready to link up and 
battle another person, this is where it is done.


(D). Battle Data


	1. Linked battle records are kept here, and it also displays 
which rule, survival or points was used for the battle.


(E). Rule Settings


	1. Hide units will make it so you cannot see which unit you 
are attacking.  


	2. Victory conditions will determine the winner of the linked
or practice game by either points, or survival.


	3. Auto weapon will give all units in linked battle iron 
weapons, and the weakest magic tomes.

VI. (Hacks/Glitches)

	This section contains strategy on playing the game with hacks,
and using the games glitches to your benefit.  It also contains a full
list of Action Replay item codes for each unit, and the hard to find
Master code.


(A). Glitches


	1. The Mine Glitch.  This glitch enables you to take control 
of the enemy units for one turn.  Upon using the mine, and having the 
enemy trigger it, quickly soft reset the game and start again.  Now 
you can control the enemy units!  This also works in fog of war maps, 
but you have to click around some to find the enemy units you wish to 
move.  This can also be used to have the enemy drop their weapons, or 
even have them merch them to Merlinus!  This is how the Uber Spear is 
obtained.


	2. The Uber Spear.  This is the most fearsome weapon in the 
game, and you can only get one without hacks.  In the chapter, 
Unfulfilled Heart, the boss is Vaida.  That spear she has equipped is
the Uber Spear, and boosts the following stats by:  HP:17, Strength:5,
Skill:4, Speed:9, Defense:4, Resistance:14(!).  To get it, you must 
wait a few turns and let the Wyvern Riders gather at the castle to the 
north.  After 3-4 turns, use the mine, and take control of the enemy.  
Make a chain of Wyvern Riders to get the US from Vaida to Merlinus.  
You can also use the Shaman to the northwest to trade the US to and get
it upon killing him, but then you lose a tome of Luna, which is a 
valuable item.  If you mess it up, you will need another mine, or a 
restart.  It helps to have the Wyverns you will be using to make the 
chain discard their weapons, so they won't be counter attacked and 
killed.  The US is B rank, and most of the Wyverns only have D, so its
safe.


(B). Hacks


	1. Action Replay tips.  AR users probably have it the worst, 
as most of the hacks are temper mental, and you can easily screw up 
your unit without knowing how to use the AR codes.  The item codes 
from the website I have supplied here should cover all of your stat 
maxing needs.  Do not use the max stat codes that are around, as they 
are only for unpromoted units, and will never go any higher.  Just use
the item codes, and you will have a much easier time.  The no item 
decreases code is also a must have, although I do not have that one 
available at this time ( I should in a future update).  


	2. AR Item Codes.  You can get them, and many for AR v.3 only 
here: http://members.cox.net/bveina/.  They also have class changing 
codes there, and it is a respected site amongst most of the community.


	3. By popular demand here is the Master code required for AR
codes on Fire Emblem.
