I'm a few chapters into Fire Emblem Awakening, and... Is there going to be anywhere I can grind? I don't want Donnel to always be completley useless just because I got him at level 1...
Reeking Boxes are the way to go, simply because they're only 500 gold as opposed to a couple of actual dollars. However, if DLC isn't a problem, then EXPonential growth is better. Also @ spotpass- it's located under the wireless feature on the overworld menu.
You guys need to learn how to do things the old fashioned way. Try weakening your foes and have Donnel kill one of them whenever he can. Once he hits like 5 or 6, he starts to get a bit better.
