Hmm yeah I kinda realized that as part of my play though though the only person who has actually gotten married so far is Chrom so far. But the tactic I have mainly been using is pairing my dark riders with a survivable close combat class Character usually and that seems to be pretty sweet for me at the moment. Chrom/Sumia, Chroms Daughters, My Avatar (Yes I picked a girl)/Donnel. Donnel is probably my most BS character I have atm still using a bronze sword and killing second classes very effectively

, anything with armor is dealt with with his critical iron sword pretty much

. (I am guessing cause I went 1-30 villager, 1-15 Merc [all stats were maxed except hp and res by 11 @_@], Hero)
Most of the other characters I tend to use seem to be pretty good just waltzing around by themselves, Tharja is a goddess with Nosferatu

. Candy thief Gaius is pretty awesome as an assassin. He accidentally killed Walhart

before I could pick up that last treasure chest since he was in attack range. Why did you have to proc lethality

bad Candy thief.
Not sure if it something to do with unlucky/bad stat rolls but both Gaius and Vaike are making better bowman than Volke despite him being your initial archer/sniper. He has fairly low speed plus Vaike and Gaius seem to have similar if not better strength anyway.
I am sad to say this but, I have not used my General at all

my previously prized general now is just too damn squishy against those pesky mages. I will probably work on beefing up their res by class changes and stuff later but atm cbb too hard. Maybe if I can reclass to paladin it might get more resistant they seem to take magic damage alright.
