Hi! I'm new to speedrunning and I wanted to try FE Awakening because it's one of my favorite games. I know I won't be all that good, but I'll do my best! I'm going to try for my first couple of runs to go until gangrel is dead, so I won't post it. I've looked at the guides and I think I'm ready, but is there anything I should know? Edit: I've decided to call my run either Usurp% or Usurper%.

If you're just looking to play around and learn, this game is pretty easy to pick up because of how consistent it is to get through the game, with the exception of Anna in most of the routes. You normally need Anna to get a Second Seal, but for practice purposes, you can grab one from the wireless content (X menu > Wireless > Renown Rewards > Second Seal). Normally this isn't allowed in any% (allowed in ng+ though) but again, very much helpful in practice if you want to go the Second Seal route.

MrTyton's guide is the most up to date and very well fleshed out, but if you prefer a video guide, my 2017 guide is still pretty relevant with most of the current strats and has visual explanations. If you have any questions, the best place to get an answer is definetly the discord, people are very helpful there. Good luck on the runs!
