It's kind of like one piece to be quite honest. Lunatic is the grandline, lunatic+ is like the new world. Really the only DLC you'd need is the DLC 2 to accomplish lunatic/Lunatic+. Everything else is really just bonus.
What really sucks about lunatic+ is the first 4 chapters (including prelogue). After beating it with luck the first time around, I read some people who used different idea's with their avatar. This guy wrote a pretty good guide on a defense spec, but the problem was he depended on the avatar being with chrom a lot. I can't do that because of how I want to do my relationships. (ChromxOlivia). I do like the idea of defense spec though so I went with it. now my avatar can hold it's own just as well as frederick, which isnt saying too much. But it certaintly makes the hammer equipped people who slaughter frederick easier to knock down.
On top of all that what really kills you is luna/vantage/counter. You can deal with everything else, but those 3 skills, depending on the ratio really make or break the game. I mean some chapters I'd get half the map of luna, 3 units with hawkeyes means instant death for any character. Vantage with mages is awful because it's basically instant 12-15 damage. Counter is the worst because it activates if you fight back. So javelin/magic becomes dependent but really aren't the best weapons :/.
