Tables Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApPT0N9WtHcKdDNpTW1STTZCQXNFMF9lVFdlZ2hnSWc#gid=0 (Note: To avoid people messing up the sheet itself it's read only. Just save a copy into your google docs (if you don't have one, you'd need to make one, or just admire the sheet I guess). The basic idea is, you enter a weighting for each stat (how valuable you think they are) and the sheet gives you an adjusted growth valuation, and in particular ranks the characters on how good their growths are for that particular weighting. The most important columns are X and Y. These basically tell you roughly how good that character's growths are for a given weighting. The sheet currently has example data of what I think most people would consider a fairly standard weighting: Str/Mag (stronger stat), Spd, Def * 30 Res * 20 HP, SKL * 15 Str/Mag (weaker stat), Luk * 10 So a character's speed growth is considered three times as important as their luck growth, for example. With that weighting, you can see that characters like Kellam, Basilio, Cordelia and Vaike do better than their growth total suggests, while characters like Henry, Chrom, Anna and Maribelle are worse. And this is why Anna (ranked 6 unweighted, ranked 20 weighted) never really gets mentioned for her 'fantastic' growths, while Panne (ranked 5 unweighted, ranked 4 weighted) is. Because Panne's growths are good where this weighting cares, while Annas are good where this weighting doesn't. Anyway I don't expect this to be of huge use to many people, it's more of a novelty, but I use things like this occasionally when talking about character growths, and others might too. But I made it and I'll be using it, and on the off chance it's of use to others, might as well make it available, right? I'm thinking of adding classes in, but that's a little bit of work. (Note: This post refers to the original version of the sheet. The link now links to an updated version.

Tables Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Whoops, typo. Right now I only have parents, I forgot to mention that. I'll add children at some point I guess. For the Avatar there's a asset/flaw selector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 This is pretty interesting. I'd love to see it adjusted by class, but that'd be a TON of work I imagine. Anyways, thanks for making this available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 One thing that i rather missed from these kind of stuff is the EXP rate and the practical usage of it during a playthrough > and Frederick is a perfect example of this issue.... I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Classes shouldn't actually be TOO bad, I don't think... at least I can easily make a lookup table for classes which is unrestricted. Adding in restriction (so classes can only be selected from those available to that character) will be a little tougher. In fact I think I'll go work on that, why not?

shadykid Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 just add default classes, really (only because Anna will go UP UP UP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bear Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 just add default classes, really (only because Anna will go UP UP UP) All things considered I don't think Anna will go up much of classes are added... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 All things considered I don't think Anna will go up much of classes are added... a little bit, Trickster has nice magic/speed growths (unless he's counting strength as Anna's "primary" stat....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) It would count whichever is higher as the main, and whichever is lower as the secondary. In Anna's case as a Trickster it's 40 to 45, so not even really a big difference, but the magic is considered main. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApPT0N9WtHcKdDNpTW1STTZCQXNFMF9lVFdlZ2hnSWc#gid=0 Updated version. Now has classes and children. Children currently have some random pairings (half being the 'most canon' I could think of and the others being fairly random (not saying who is which mind )), but if you remove all the parents, the sheet still works, although the ranking disappears (but you can still sort by total growths). Classes you just put the class in and get a thing. Classes are currently unrestricted, because that requires manually making a list of allowed classes for every character. Not included: Priam (he doesn't have growths on the site) Bride/Dread Fighter (ditto above) Edit: Wow that only took me like a little over an hour (was watching the tennis and doing other stuff for like half the time), easier than I thought it'd be.

Da Bear Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 have another two: no money Donnel is only truly unusable without grinding in LM+ (and even that's debatable). Outside of that mode the difficulty of his training is pretty exaggerated. He's still annoying to train though. Very annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Bear Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 is it really, you seem to be contradicting yourself I've seen people call it impossible, I've seen people call it the hardest thing in this game, I've seen people say all sorts of things.

Tables Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) What are you talking about Donnel was my best benchwarmer on Lunatic? I know right? Implying I actually bothered to give him a level of experience in his side story. Anyway the issue with Donnel on Lunatic is that Lunatic gets easier as you go. No point training a character who makes now much harder and later easier when that's already the progression of the game.
