Fire Emblem Awakening [SPOILERS INSIDE]

i probably would have had a better understanding of the stat choices if they told me what they all effected when i could choose ;( Are you saying i should restart?

I'm playing on Casual cos i'm new to this series and pineapple permadeath lol..

I would as Ignis is a very powerful skill and making strength a weak attribute kind of hurts it. If you want to do a mage, I suggest going Mag+/-Luk. You can manage with what you have though if you don't want too. Just try to look at the enemies movement range so you don't get swarmed. Frederick should barely be taking damage incase you wanna fall back on him.
