Fire Emblem Awakening is becoming really hard... what did I do wrong?

I'm playing on casual mode, all my characters are maxed out (all level 20 and my dragon girl, forgot her name, is level 30). Anyway, I'm at like chapter 20 or something, and honestly it is too hard. The enemies often do like 30-40 damage, and my characters keep dying. Eventually Chrom or my created character die off and I have to start over.

I always pair up my characters, and I always have elixirs. They usually use steel or silver weapons. I don't understand why they take so much damage, it's a bit ridiculous considering how many enemies are on the field. Could it be because I never use seals? Every time I found one, I sold it. Anyway, Master Seals won't work anymore because my characters are above level 10. I don't remember seeing any Second Seals, and if I did come across them, I'm guessing they're pretty rare. Wouldn't these seals bring me back to level 1 anyway, even though I can change class? What's so good about them?

Anway, do you guys have any advice? Thanks!!

You can use Master Seals anytime after a character hits level 10, they don't have to be exactly the same level for them to work. You pretty much have to use Master Seals at some point so your team can stand a chance at later chapters.1PMrFister

Okay now my new question is... How do I use these master seals? I bought one for each character and they all have one in their inventories. What do I do with them now?rubber-chicken

also, second seals just send you back to level 1 "in theory". you might get a slight stat drop, but in the end it pays off. it's kinda like going prestige :PBrunoBRS

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"][QUOTE="rubber-chicken"] Ahh yes I just used a master seal on all my characters, it's a shame that I didn't know about this earlier, I'm at chapter 21 and all my guys are level 1 now...rubber-chicken

Easy victory: equip Tharja with five nosferatu's, put her out in the open/near the enemy, sit back and enjoy the show.
