Your top 5 (RD)

[Fei Mao]

Since posting in the old top 5 topic would be necroposting. Including what difficulty you did your playthrough would be nice.

First post in the old topic, for anyone interested:

Too be honest, I'm tempted to ignore necro rules for threads like this and the RNG-screwage/blessing type topics. However, rules are rules, so thank you for making a new one instead.

Hard mode:

• #5 Nephenee -- 93
  
• #4 Mia -- 103
  
• #3 Jill -- 110
  
• #2 Haar -- 132
  
• #1 Nolan -- 146
  

[Integrity]

mh...

Normal mode.

5: Haar

4: Shinon

3: Boyd

2: Ike

1: Nephenee

if I recall correctly.

[Gergeshwan]

Hard mode, but probably inefficient since I didn't record turncounts.

1. Haar- 130

2. Nolan- 118

3. Ike- 110

4-7. Shinon/Mia/Zihark/Nephenee- 103

Would have been a 5 way tie if Titania had 1 more kill.

[Interceptor]

Just FYI: even if you didn't record your individual chapter turn counts, the final turn count for a playthrough is recorded on the battle screen, along with your #1 performer. So as long as you didn't blast away your save file, it's still there.

Mine were for the first playthrough:

5th - Jill

4th - Mia

3rd - Ike

2nd - Nephenee

1st - Nolan

Shinon came in 6th, very close to Jill.

EDIT: It was Normal Mode. Can't remember turns but it was nowhere near an efficient playthrough. The save file is gone, this was in one of my notes from the game.

Off the top of my head

1. Jill

2. Haar (surprising as I didn't even take him to endgame)

3. Rolf (turns out much better than shinon at the same level, believe it or not)

4. Nephenee

5. Oscar

[Chuy]

3. Rolf (turns out much better than shinon at the same level, believe it or not)

YES!!! Finally someone that agrees with me.

[Fenrir]

YES!!! Finally someone that agrees with me.

PEMN, and he stated "at the same level" which is a pain to get rolf there, shinnon is easy to get there

Yes, it is a pain to get him there, but I was trying him out for the first time this playthrough for the triangle attack and was pleasantly surprised when he turned into a stronger and faster Shinon with more hp and luck.

[Fenrir]

once again, PEMN, on average Shinnon is faster. What shinnon loses in luck he makes up for in skill, Rolf needs to be 20/20/20 to have max skill, Shinnon achieves this at level 13 3rd tier, you can realisticly have him here by endgame(i think) or at least at somepoint in the edngame, rolf shouldn't reach this level until the last stage of endgame. HP is not the biggest issue for a bowman who shouldn't be taking attacks, and isn't Shinnon's AVO higher? not to mention he beats rolf in defense, to make up for hp, he wins in RES as well.

Shinnon's strength is most likely his only weakness, but he easily can make up for this, He generally never needs high Str to ORKO, and i think easier training > str.

bottom line, Shinnon > Rolf

I'm not arguing Rolf > Shinon, that's just not right. I was just surprised with how good Rolf was. Unlike Shinon, he wasOHKOing even Generals with the Silencer. I wouldn't reccomend him to anyone else, but it was pretty cool seeing how he turned out. Plus, his marksman map animation looks > shinon's. If I ever play normal again I'll probably use him over Shinon now, as it was quite fun to see rolf going from helpless in HM OHKOing everything in sight.

no, rolf does not have godawesome boots and a shouldpad, he opts for short shorts X_X shinnon wins here as well.

He was OHKOing generals?

Meh, the shoulder pads were a little too over the top imo though they were cool, either way he was map animation looks more casual. And yes, he was OHKOing generals pre endgame with the silencer.

(FIRST OF ALL... I'm not saying Shinon is better than Rolf (IMO he is but we all have our opinions....) I'm just saying he can almost (again I'm taking lots of things into consideration) be as good as Shinon. I'm just saying that I prefer him over Shinon any day.)

Its always fun making characters like Rolf kill everything in HM. I had fun doing that.

And OHKOing? Never got that.(Maybe with criticals but not on his own...)

IMO Shinon's outfit (or whatever you wanna call it) is just plain stupid. (No offense.) (Not the Sniper one the Marksmen one.) IDK never really liked the way he looked as a Marksmen.

SHORTS ARE COOL!!!! (Not short shorts at least...) (Well thats just me I wear shorts year round since I was like 2 so yeah..... I REALLY LIKE SHORTS....)

And Rolf has a shoulder pad to begin with as a Sniper and again as a Marksmen. (Even Leo has it.) Shinon only beats them with the fact that he has the biggest shoulder pad (I think) and the boots. (I will say that the are awesome.(But the colors could have been better.(IF they weren't on Shinon cuz they mach him.)

Hm... I'm sure with criticals he can but on his own I don't think so...

At least Rolf doesn't hate just about everyone...

BUT SHINON DOES NOT HAVE GODAWESOME GREEN HAIR!!! (There I said it. XD)

Must have been a typo when you said OHKO.

Shorts are not cool, they are comfortable.

biggest, and coolest shoulder pad, his boots match pretty well and make his > rolf's. f you wanna getting into odd colors, rolf is full of them...

criticals + deadeye and more hit make skill pretty nice. remember hit is useful when attacking form 3away

Shinnon does not have weird mossy color hair either.

btw, your parentheses are messed up.

I agree with all of your reasons why poor Rolf is good. After my run he's my current favorite of the three marksmen (well two, since you can't count Leo, he's just...
