Which GBA Myrmidon/Swordmaster is your favorite?

[Fire Emblem Fan]

Joshua is definitely my favorite. I really like his design, and I've always been a fan of his class. He's a great character, too! I love his backstory and his conversations, it adds a neat little side-story to the game. Joshua is pretty darn awesome!

 

NOTE:

 

1: A character's starting class determines which list they go on. For prepromotes, what would have been their starting class in their game determines which list they go on. For example, Renault is a Bishop, but his starting class would have been a Monk if he wasn't a prepromote, so he goes on the Monk/Bishop list. Yodel, on the other hand, goes on the Priest/Cleric/Bishop list, he is a Bishop but in Binding Blade Monk was not a class so his starting class would have been a Priest.

 

2: If a character is not playable in the main story, they are not included.

Joshua's badass hat. Marisa is second for me.

Marisa was always my favorite, for some reason.

Second place goes to Rutger.

[ButteredToast]

I've always found Joshua to be my most powerful, even before the final chapter.

And plus his little subplot was enjoyable.

He's just great, overall :)

[PM ME MARIANNE ART]

Rutger; if only for being a broken badass.

Next it's Fir, Marisa, Joshua, and Guy (In no particular order).

[Shadow Mir]

Joshua followed by Rutger.

[MRDRHAWK]

Unit-wise, Rutger > Joshua > Marisa > Fir > Karel = Karla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Guy.

Personality-wise, Joshua >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Karel > Marisa > Karla = Fir > Guy >>>>>>> Rutger.

Joshua wins easily.

[Roy: Marquess of Pherae]

Rutger followed by Joshua.

[Roxas]

Rutger.

dat biracial struggle. I FEEL THOSE FEELS.

[Knight]

I have to say Joshua, but I'm disappointed for the lack of love for Guy. He's a nice guy.

[Jiac]

Guy has always ended up the best for me ._. is that bad I vote for him

Guy>Rutger=Joshua>Fir>Marisa>Karel(Dat FE 6 growths)>Karla

[Axie]

as units: Rutger > Joshua > lol why would I ever use the others

as characters: Rutger > Joshua >>> Karla > Marisa >>>>>>>> Fir > Guy > Karel

[Dwarfishh]

Love Karel as a character, but he isn't really that good, especially in FE7. Best unit wise has to be Rutger. Dat crit rate...

[Fire Emblem Fan]

I'm surprised Rutger has gotten so many votes, I thought most didn't like Binding Blade as much.

[PM ME MARIANNE ART]

I'm surprised Rutger has gotten so many votes, I thought most didn't like Binding Blade as much.

FE6 is awesome!

Unit-wise, Rutger > Joshua > Marisa > Fir > Karel = Karla >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Guy.

Personality-wise, Joshua >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Karel > Marisa > Karla = Fir > Guy >>>>>>> Rutger.

Joshua wins easily.

Okay, no offense, but there's no way Karel and Karla are better than Guy. They come in so late in the game that they're nearly unusable (Except giving weapons to Guy).

[Kon]

I'm surprised Rutger has gotten so many votes, I thought most didn't like Binding Blade as much.

It's possible to not like a game but like some characters in it, you know~

For example, I'm not fond of any of Marth's games, but I legitimately like Merric, Ogma, and Radd.

Oh yeah I know, but I usually don't hear much about Rutger. I hear more about Marcus, Milady, Lugh, Raigh, etc. So *shrugs* just sort of surprised me.

[Kon]

That's true, Rutger does tend to be overshadowed a good bit, but not so much when it's just him and the other Myrms/SMs~

[Irysa]

Lyn.

(FE6 Karel)

Gotta be Marisa for me, although that could just be a result of being oversaturated by Joshua.

[Azura]

I rarely use Swordmasters since their low strength turn me of, but personalitywise, I love Ismaire is the best, followed by Joshua and then Fir.

Btw, why no Ismaire in the poll? Because I would totally have voted for her if she was on the poll :3

[Loki Laufeyson]

Joshua is amazing. He has nice hat, isnt a brooder, good looks, and awesome stats. Except luck. He has terrible luck. Oh well, nothing a booster cant fix...

Rutger is cool cuz he helped carry my FE6 run with Dieck.

Because she isn't playable in the main story, I only included everyone you get in the main story.

[Mister Sunshine Sprinkles]

So fat Joshua in the lead. i prefer Rutger, but Joshua is so swaggylicious, that I am OK with this.

[PathOfRadiantDawn]

I knew most wouldn't be fond of Guy but he was always my favorite. He's meh as a character but as a unit he destroyed everyone.

Second in Marisa.
