Playing in normal mode for now
Best: Framme/Etie/Lapis
Framme became one of my tankiest units overall, she can easily take hits from anything, even those ballistas at Leif's trial and I don't really know if it's because I gave her Tiki's emblem (didn't made her transform at all or just when I needed chip damage with the fire breath) or just because she becomes infinitely better after being promoted. Etie got a refined Longbow and she always kills the target with that big damn str. Lapis is just that good, even if you promote her to Hero, i just did to replace another axe user.
Worst: Boucheron
I knew from the start that he would be an axe fighter like Bord/Cord and he got fixed somehow when I promoted him to paladin, but it was too late.
Disappointing: Anna/Timerra/Clanne
Who thought of giving axes to a small unit like her would be a good idea! A friend told me to reclass her into an archer, but it was already too late and just didn't use her at all. Timerra was outclassed by Alfred, Chloe and Alear, who was also very dissapointing until I made her Griffin Knight and now she heals and deals decent damage overall. And here I thought Clanne would be Asbel 2 but ended up being Merric in New Mystery... I still use him because having a magic user always helps, but my boy... you could have grown that mag stat a lil bit more...
