I simply want to use Warp as fast as possible

So, I have a question. I'm now on Ch 9 in FE5 and I'm trying to clear maps as fast as possible(basicly playing on rank) and the problem is that my Safy on lvl 6 60 exp and I want her to reach to promotion lvl as fast as possible(maybe around next chapter) to use that juicy Warp. What should I do to gain levels faster? I have a few Physic staves. Should I use them or conserve them and use them on Salem later? Btw I'm playing on Paragon mode.

Thank you for your respond. So, deployment slots is a problem. I'm yet to play HHM, but in HM it was not a problem for me, most of the time I thought who I gonna pick to bench Lyn and I ever have deployment slots for most units I wanted to use, so it's wasn't an issue to me to use Eliwood. But I see now what's the problem with him in HHM. Also, yeah, there are a lot of units that outperform him being in HHM. I saw Guy and Raven bases on HHM, so it's no wonder to me why Eliwood is not even a good sword-locked unit. Again, thank you very much for explaining why Eliwood isn't that good in HHM. Sadly this is not explaining for me why he get so much hate, while being better than some units that are not hated

I see , thanks.

That's fair, I see the point. Does the situation in HHM is much different from HNM?

But you can also deploy him with those great pre-promotes. I've never asked myself "should I deploy Eliwood instead of X character?", most of the time I asked myself "who I gonna use to not deploy Lyn". I used most of the pre-promotes except Wallace, Louise, Jaffar and Hawkeye(I somehow forgot about him on some point) and I've never have a problem with Eliwood deployment

Yeah, that's hurts. But even in that moments he can do a cheap damage because most of the lance users are cavs or armors, he can also kill them with Rapier, when he comes to double area. Like I said before in the early game only 2 units can reliably kill enemies, so it's an easy time to level him up to lvl 9-10 and then give him kill few enemies per chapter and he'll be fine by chapter when first Heaven Seal comes

Just finished my 2nd playthrough in general and 1st HM playthrough of FE7. So I have a question, why Eliwood is so hated? Don't get me wrong, guy is worse than than Hector and a bunch of cast, but he is not bad, at least at HM. Yeah, he have poor bases, not enough good Rapier, ok for this game standarts growths and late promotion, but on top of that he have some qualities. First off his promotion. Yeah it's late, but it's a good one. His promo gives him a horse and access to javelins and lances(which are way better than swords). His promo bonuses are also good, giving him access to more enemies, who he can double. His damage output is also good and on that point of the game he becomes good and goes on par with other Paladins(don't kill me for that sentence). The fact that no one besides Marcus and sometimes Hector cannot kill properly. So in order to get exp you most of the time would damage an enemy with one unit and then kill with another. If keep that in balance beetween units all of your units including Eliwood get enough exp to get a several levels, so it's easy time for him to level up(looks like a Leif FE5 situation). His utility in the game after promotion is very good, he literally becomes a Paladin without axes to access(sorry). And that already pulls him above a bunch of scrub like Lyn or Bartre(or name another meme characters). And at that point he even become better than Hector because Spd and horse. Mention that I did not slow myself down in order to get exp for Eliwood, heck I even gave Marcus almost solo some chapters. So I want to you to correct me, because it's looks like something wrong with me that I found Eliwood not a bad lord. How does it changed in HHM? What was your expirience with Eliwood?
