Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Mmm, this community seems dead, but I'll post this just to see if anyone is still kicking around :)

I just started playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (my first FE game) and boy and I getting my arse served to me.

I have been trying to recruit Joshua to my team, but before I get to him, I either A) Die or B) Kill him by accident.

I have never played a tactical role-playing game before so learning how to position my troops and NOT LET THEM DIE has been fun, but a struggle. I always have to restart the chapter, because I just can't stand to see one of my pixelated troops die. I have noticed that I am slowly getting better though. It just takes time!

Anyone else have stories about FE they want to share (like how much better than me they are? Hahaha.

Edit: Thanks so much for everyone's help! I managed to recruit Joshua and make it to Chapter 6 so far (= )

Side note: Anyone looking forward to playing FE: Awakening?

I'll make sure to take Seth's weapons off next time I play (in a few mintues, haha).

I haven't participated in the arena yet, so thanks for the info!

If you need to use Seth in the early part of the chapter you can give him a few things to start with, and have someone run up to him and Trade away his weapons right before you put him in Joshua's range.

Thanks for the tip! I followed yours and everyone's advice and managed to recruit Joshua and get past that chapter. I'm very happy right now, haha.
