Ilyana was good in PoR
in Radiant Dawn, mages have crappy speed caps
especially thunder mages like iylana
she will never double anything in final chapter.

Don't use Master Seals at low levels, even if it's for a priest. You'll ruin the stat gains on your characters (It'll be sort of okay if you do it at level 18 ~ 20). It's best that you make the most out of every chapter by killing every enemy possible if your goal is not to Rout the enemy or anything, especially for the Dawn Brigade because they suck ass. Just be careful not to make them too powerful or you will have trouble keeping units alive during the battle of the Greil Mercenaries vs. Dawn Brigade.
I had so much trouble during that because my Leonardo and Edward were ganging on my Haar (He ended up dying a lot because I just HAD to make Leonardo a Marksman and Edward was a freaking Blademaster). I had to redo the chapter so much so that I could finally get Soren to start a conversation with Pelleas since he was all the way in the back of the map guarded by almost all my best characters (Made Laura, and Volug overpowered too, so I had to take care of a Saint, Sage, Assassin, and Wolf in one turn. Really pissed me off since Laura would always try to put Haar to sleep).

Radiant Dawn is horrible.
Sure, Ilyana is at a high level, but she has horrible base stats, low availability, and thunder magic was the most nerfed magic in the game. Mages are garbage anyway, with the only mage that you're probably going to use is Soren endgame. But you're forced to bring Sanaki, so there's no reason to bring Soren when you can make room for better units like the laguz kings/queens or HAAR.
I spent a month or two fixing up Radiant Dawn, simply so that I could attempt to rebalance everything. It also involved getting rid of Sothe's horrible mastery skill and making Micaiah more of a glass cannon that's capable double attacking generals instead of an endgame healer that couldn't even kill a general without the use of Thani.
Now... if only I can learn how to change base levels for some characters or else they become better than they should.
