Best
FE6: Rutger. His Hard Mode bases are pretty great and Swordmaster is quite the powerful class in FE6 with their high Crit rate. Runner ups: Miledy, Deke, Percival
FE7: Hector. Strong, durable, has a very powerful Sacred Weapon and unlike Eliwood he can be pretty godly even in his own route where you are forced to use him. Runner ups: Raven, Lucius, Pent.
FE8: Seth. I mean cmon. Oifey, strong starting bases and very good growths that carry him for the WHOLE GAME. Bringing him to the final chapter is not a bad thing to do. Runner ups: Joshua, Cormag, Eprahim.
Worst
FE6: Sophia. Her Con, bases and the weight of her weapons speak for themselves. Runner up: Wendy
FE7: Karla. Terrible join time with some low bases. Runner up: Renault
FE8: Knoll. His stats are pretty bizarre and it doesn't help that Gleipnir is the worst Sacred Relic in the game. Runner ups: Amelia and Ewan.

He's MANLY I MEAN LOOK AT HIS FE6 BEARD!
Jokes aside, he is a good unit that does his job well (hitting things hard with an axe) and shows some nice character growth between FE7 and 6 from brash guy to wise man.
-
Adventurer. Shining Bow Niles is the good future and also another staff user is nice.
-
2- Depends but since everyone can become really good with the right setups in Awakening then I suppose its just preference. Kids are obviously better than their parents tho.
3-Grind her by dancing a lot and beating the spotpass characters with Thieves on it (Edward, Leonardo, Salem, Matthew in this order as you get higher leveled with her)
4-Just get your units stronger and skills are passed down by depending on what skill is in your last skill slot. Other than that i didn't really understood this question of yours.

I have 2 alternatives:
a) Make them just like in FE6 where they had a pretty huge crit boost
b) Give them bows upon promotion to make up for that lack of 1-2 range option and keep the crit boost of 15%
-
I won't go into full detail here since I had some bad experience involving outside content posted here on Serenes and me discussing about it in the past. But generally speaking...can't we just enjoy the games and stop bickering about what side is right? Been trying to tell the fanbase that in other places, if that happened, this fanbase would be a hella more pleasant.
-
Persona and some SMT games do that quite a lot, same for FFXIII. When the leader dies, it's an instant game over. How nonsense is that, do the rest of the party just fuck off and dies?
-
Well I have a couple:
FE1/11- Chapter 22.
FE3/12-Chapter 20.
FE4-Chapter 8.
FE6-Chapter 22.
FE7-Endgame
FE8-Chapter 19
FE9-Chapter 22
FE10-Part 2 Endgame

FE14 (Conquest)-Chapter 20

4 hours ago, Magillanica Lou Mayvin said:
I don't deny he's the most usable knight... because it's not hard to be it... but really as usable as Shanna?
I mean he hasn't only hitissues in the entire game but he's also bad in chapter 1 and then he tends to get doubled by some enemies.
He's only really good against soldiers and for the most part he won't see much action due to his low movement.At least he can take a few hits and in the end due to the weapon triangle, lance users will get hit a bunch from axes soooo durability does help.
I am willing to increase Shanna's rank to 6.5 however, since she rides flying equestrians we know as pegasi
-
I have 2 of them
Heh
-
NO. NONONONO NO!
JUST NO, PLEASE IS SPARE US!
-
Dheg lives up his days blessed by a deity.
Loptyr is a big evil dark god aside from also being a dragon
Grima is spooky, I assume he is from the same lineage as Medeus and Loptyr so...yeah fuk
-
Fiona: good potential, wasted on crap bases. Just for a bit of fun trivia: her starting bases are lower than the enemies on this chapter. Yeah no thanks
-
Gatrie leaves and joins in chapter 13 alongside Astrid
Shinon also leaves and joins in chapter 20 with a Brave Bow
They keep their original bases when they left the army on chapter 5. That is good for Gatrie, not so good for Shinon...
-
Oscar has the older brother wisdom to him, I like that a lot.
Boyd is hot headed and silly. Cool
Rolf is...ok I guess, he tries however so points for that.
-
-Ike is legit good
-Fliers are powerful
-Most of your starting guys are the best in their class
-Magic is separated into 3 Anima types but all Mages can use them just nice
-Don't feed kills to Laguz too much
-Ike must be LV 20 before chapter 19, same applies to Volke on chapter 21 IIRC
Bonus EXP, use it and try to grab as much as possible. There are several guides that help
-Remember to build supports
-Spare coins for Radiant Dawn
-Forge weapons occasionally
-Occult scrolls give a class skill, don't use them on more than 1 unit from the same class (Oscar and Kieran for example). Spare 1 for Ike
-Don't remove skills, unlike RD they don't become scrolls
-Have some fun (that's important), hope you enjoy my favorite FE game.
-
Hot
At least she is not a complete walking army like Eprahim and she has her moments where she is pretty legit (Chapter 6 for example)
-
Artur or Saleh. Artur is the choice if you haven't been using Lute and Saleh is your choice if you haven't been using Artur. Artur can be trained for longer but Saleh starts with a B which is more than enough to catch up to the Light S-Rank.
In a route perspective, Artur fares better in Eprahim's and Saleh is better on Eirika's
Every other choice (Lute, Moulder, Natasha, Ewan and L'Arachel) were meant for something else
-
This comes up as a question of wheter you prefer Heroes or Swordmasters. Or otherwise, who is better so far for you, Raven or Guy?
There's your answer
-

Roy- Late promotion and weak growths 3/10
Marcus-One of the better Jeigans in the series, can hold pretty well on Hard but he is still a Jeigan 8/10
Wolt-Hate to do this but his bases are pretty terrible 3/10
Bors-The most usable Knight in the game but lances in FE6 being ech early game doesn't help him 6/10
Allen-Solid overall 8/10
Lance-Also pretty solid 8/10
Ellen- 1 BASE MAG but her growths aren't hindering her, also staves 7/10
DieckSTROYER-High bases that carry him well and decent at best growths, Ogma guy 8.5/10
Lot- He's balanced? Ech 4/10
Wade- Bord.jpg 2/10
Shanna- She has a Pegasus, that's good. But she comes earlygame with a lance, that's bad. 6/10

Lugh-Fast, good magic, can use Aircalibur easily, he's alright in my book 7/10
Clarine- 2 BASE MAG character development.jpg, she has a horse however so that helps 8/10
Rutger- 9.5/10 THOSE HARD MODE BONUSES BOI, Killing Edge, good supports options

Zealot: Marcus but slightly worse, is still good until chapter 13 6/10
Astore: Your combat thief, good bases, can steal, better than Chad especially when it comes to combat 8/10

Barth: WALL...and not much else 1/10
Wendy: You will not get the succ with those...everything really 0/10

I'm back to doing both PxZ 2 and Pokemon Ultra Sun which I started on May. I'm 11 chapters away from finishing the former and just started Ula'Ula on the latter.
Tales of Vesperia DE is almost done, got to Tarquaron today.
Trails in the Sky FC: just sidequesting around Zeiss before the big events happen.
And on the phone front, I started Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance 2 days ago and finished case 2 from AA Trials and Tribulations.
Needless to say, I'm pretty well stacked.
