I already beat it, he can one shot all of the enemies.  There's just a very specific spot on the map you have to go to to beat it or they'll just overrun you.

Up to chapter five, I believe you can actually let all the characters besides the MC straight up die, and they just shrug it off and are back for the real fight in Chapter 6. After that though, it's for realzies death.

[Sirus]

And thank goodness for that. Chapter 6 has some pretty powerful enemies to go with your pretty powerful allies. And then there's little old you, doing your best to stay away from the promoted units running about.

The game is super cool about it. You can't demote, but if you class change into a different promoted unit that has a different base then you just learn all the skills from that base class as well, one at a time as you level up. It makes the system extremely powerful, convenient, and versatile.

Oh man, that's the best-case scenario. Screw trying to get all of the class skills right now, Imma cap levels, promote, and then worry about such things :v

Yeah, your only real limit is your number of level ups, since any character only ever has 40 to their name, and once capped out you can change classes, but you can't learn skills.

However, once you get a little bit further into the game, you can upgrade your Staff shop to level 3, and you gain access to an "Eternity Seal" which extends your maximum level by 5, but it costs 12k. Expensive, but it's a small price to pay for building the perfect ubermensch.

[Sirus]

Oh, here's a question. Has anyone messed with the Lodestar and Great Lord classes? You get the appropriate seals from the Awakening map, and you only get one of each (per run?). Only males can become Lodestars and only females can become Great Lords.

Yeah, 24 has a fun gimmick

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basically, you're gonna be outsped by the Falcon Knights right at the start. I'm not sure if it's possible to get to a dragon vein  right away to stop them, they're all pretty far away. I built a defensive perimeter right in the corner and let them fly into my strongest dudes, once they're close they're easy to take out. My big tip here is to use the 'highlight' feature by clicking on them so they turn red, that way you can know exactly how far each individual one can attack, so you can set up your defensive line accordingly.

They'll keep spawning in over the course of the map, but by then you can use a dragon vein to nullify Hinoka's Dragon Vein, and they'll be slowed down while all ground-based unts will have doubled movement.

Hopefully by now you have Kaze or some other character who is specialized in taking out magic units, and just have him/her take out the mages on the flanks. Mages used to be the most badass things in FE, but now Ninjas are the HARD COUNTER that mops the floor with them. To a lesser extent, Adventurers, Pegasus Knights, and Maids/Butlers too, man are mages just sour about this rebalancing.

Once the coast is clear, pick out 3 characters you don't like and have them stand in Hexing range, and they'll get their HP halved, but you can pair them up and it won't matter.

Time the next dragon vein so you can rush in on Satsuna before she can attack proper.

Once that one guy with the Hex staff is used up, he won't move, so you don't 'need' to kill him. I did, just to stop him from healing, but remember that you don't need to.

Once you have Hinoka cornered, that's when the mission enters rage mode and starts spawning in units from all sides. You'll want to debuff her with Draconic Hex pronto, then just dogpile on her with all your big and beefy units before you get rushed down by the 8 or so fliers that will be barreling down on your position.

That's pretty much what I did, once I understood the gimmick I was able to do it on my second try. Once you beat this, you'll be caught up to me, I haven't even started 25 yet, but it looks interesting.

Definitely old news here, but holy shit is Donny's unique skill amazing.
Since I leveled everyone pretty consistently and then switched Donny out as soon as I could, he's now level 17+Mercenary promote bonuses... Coming to a stat value of 150+.
Most everyone else is in the high 60's, with bad levels, to 80's or so range.
In Chapter 12, I can put him at the front of the line and expect consistent dodging against Knights and (with his 22 Strength plus amazing Speed stat) doubling them to death.

Remember Radiant Dawn's Endgame-2, where Ike is on one side of a barrier with the Black Knight, who he ought to have a relatively easy time against, and everybody else is on the other side with Levail, who has the Wishblade you really, really want? It's like that.

It's actually way easier than it looks. The "time limit" is huge to the point that it's probably easier to send your whole team up one side, back down, and up the other. It's business as usual from there.

Meanwhile, a sufficiently powerful Corrin can (at least on Normal, but I doubt they buffed his stats much) solo Ryoma, as long as they have enough speed to avoid doubles, enough strength to deal more damage than he heals for, and enough defense to counteract Ryoma's considerable attack power. That said, you still want the EXP and the stuff from the chests, but it's an option anyway.

Chapter 24 looks like it was the last real "IntSys, you dastards!" level, thankfully--I'm not at endgame yet, but I think there's only one more to go, 26, where the biggest problem is the boss is the King of Status Effects.

Donny is a fantastic unit, especially as a Hero. He has titanic luck, and with Armsthrift and a capped luck score of 50, he has INFINITE DURABILITY. Also means he's going to avoid nearly every crit, and have a pretty decent chance of dealing them himself.

Even better is passing Donny's Aptitude onto any child who benefits from it, to make their already generally good growths so much more great.

Take Donny!Kjelle. She has stat growths of 93/63/20/55/53/65/51/23. Pretty nice stats all around. Could make a good Hero, could make a good Swordmaster-ish.
Then you drop Aptitude onto Donny!Kjelle, and those stat growths become a mind-numbing 113/83/40/75/73/85/71/43.

(When a stat growth >100%, guaranteed 1 of those per level, plus the remainder from 100 chance of +2, eg. 100% chance for a +1HP, 13% for +2 HP.)

Some children benefit from Donny more than others, but there is one universal agreement - his Aptitude is too damn good to pass up on.

[SOLDIER First]

Is that why I saw Donny gain 2 HP one level during Chapter 12 (before resetting, that is)? Sheesh.
What about Donny!Yarne?

[Twinwolf]

There's a character with a similar ability- although I think Aptitude is nerfed to +10%- in Fates.

What about Donny!Yarne?

Donny!Yarne is 105/66/13/60/61/60/55/18. He's never going to be that good on the mag/res front, but with Donny passing on Aptitude, that will shore up some of those mediocre stats to 125/86/33/80/81/80/75/38.

Yarne doesn't benefit terribly much from Donny - he's not a bad pick, but other children units can benefit more. Taguels already get a stat boost from their beaststones. Yarne is generally best suited to a Berserker sorta build. He could also go for Hero with that good luck he inherits from Donny.
