Just for context, playing on Hard/Classic and I just beat Chapter 17(F**k that chapter)
Best - Diamant, Timerra, Yunaka
Diamant is the GOAT. He is just so good. Still have him in his unique class. Gave him a Killer Axe(engraved Lyn’s emblem on it) and he crits everything. The lowest I’ve seen his crit is like 55%? And his unique ability negates practically all of his accuracy issues AND on top of that to offset giving the enemy higher accuracy, he gets Sol. He’s amazing. Didn’t think TOO much about prerelease but now he’s husbando.
Timerra is very fun. Yeah she’s lance locked + infantry but Emblems practically negate that. And the game does a great job introducing an emblem that works perfect for her gameplan(they do this a lot actually lol). Her Sandstorm ability is fun and I’ve just been very lucky with how much she’s been proccing it. Kinda want to make her a General just to boost her DEF even higher.
Yunaka is a dodge tank with the help of Marth’s skill inheritence. Stacking avoid on her has let me just stick her in harms way and draw aggro and have the rest of my team clean up. She’s a Wolf Knight right now because I want to play around with that skill and giving her Sigurd for hit and run shenanigans.
Honorable Mentions: Céline, Louis, Ivy
Worst - Alfred, Alear
I wanted to like Alfred so much. He just did not want to level up his speed like AT ALL. He was great early game, he felt like a Vander-lite. Very tanky, just fast enough to not get doubled, great chip damage, mobile. But yeah he just hasn’t been holding up. I did give him Lyn’s ring and Speedtaker has actually been helping him a ton but I feel like I could get better use of Lyn on anyone else.
Alear has just been disappointing. They just don’t do any damage practically the exact opposite problem I’m having with Alfred. My Alear is so fast and can dodge a lot which is nice but doubling things for 0 isn’t so nice.
