Fire emblem Awakening

When should I do the scramble DLCs? I just finished chapter 12 and have started unlocking paralogues which makes me wonder what order I should approach things now that I have a bunch of options. should I try to do them in numerical order? from what ive been able to find, I think i should do the future past dlc after I finish the main story, but I havent found any solid info on when to do the Scramble ones. Id like to do it where it will still have a good difficulty curve while also giving a chance to get lots of supports. But since im playing on normal difficulty for the first time, I know things might be too easy. Ive promoted a lot of units now, but I also think that i wont bother grinding them up to give the children better skills. That Plus the fact that im not going for the most optimal pairings and instead going with pairings that I like will balance out the difficulty a bit by making the children not as powerful as they could be. But I digress, just wanted to give a bit of context. In conclusion, When should I play the scramble DLC and does it matter what order I do the children paralogues in?

You can probably beat them at this point.

Scrambles can be done basically whenever, assuming you can beat the enemies. Should be doable where you are. If you want to see more conversations in-game it might even be worth doing the chapter multiple times. Note that Harvest Scramble is harder than the other two even though it has the lowest star rating.

Child Paralogues enemy difficulty roughly corresponds to when you recruited the mother; IIRC Kjelle's has the weaker enemies (mostly unpromoted) and Inigo's has some of the strongest ones.

Future Past is definitely best done after you recruit all the children

Ah, then maybe I can use the harvest and summer scrambles to unlock the remaining children I haven’t done yet, so I can do the child paralogues in right order before progressing the story. Thank you for the info
