I'm getting back into Fire Emblem Awakening!

I have already 'beaten' the main story several times, though I am by no means an expert of the game (obviously X3) Do you guys have any tips or tricks that I missed during my play throughs?

I'm excited to see what you guys have to add!

I'm not sure when you last played, or what mode you're playing, but here are some things off the tip of my mind...

• Never ever split up your team. Together in a tight line works best, especially if they have strong support.
• There are times when the boss must be defeated ASAP, otherwise more enemies will be spawned continuously until a certain point. Going straight for them makes it faster
• Keep in mind the rock-paper-scissors. Ax → Spear → Sword → Ax
• Wind defeats anything in air critically, so does bows
• Fredrick is OP in the beginning, but sadly becomes very week later on If you can marry him off, chances are the two will help each other out significantly. I used Lissa!
• Be careful not to kill potential allies I killed Cynthia without realizing I could recruit...
• Try to save powerful items if you can
• Don't use the master seal until the character is at least level 15! Same with marrying until level 15

I typed more than I thought I would xD Have fun!

Cool! Thank you. I always had a bad habit of splitting my units up (with their s-rank support) and then whisking them off to defeat enimies, I guess it works sometimes but won't be as efficient.

• Wind defeats anything in air critically, so does bows

I did not know about this one! (It doesn't help that I sort of gave up on my bow units..)

And the master seals.. I don't use them until I reach level 20, just to be safe

But thank you again! I'm going to try to play the game in a higher difficulty this time, I'm hoping I won't fail miserably

Good luck!
I didn't use bows at all until my second try. I made virion and sully marry and they were super OP ahaha ;w;
