EricaofRenais Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 So I am finally getting around to playing and beating Shadow Dragon and prolog 4 is where I stop because I can never decide who I should send to the fort as the decoy. Who is the least useful? Everyone is at about the same level so I don't have anyone that is outstanding, I just don't want to lose anyone who ends up being good after a few level ups. So any advice as to who I would be the best off without would be really helpful. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irysa Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 just send frey, it's canon. gordin is technically the least useful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrman Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Frey, in the name of canon. If you care about usefulness, then kill Gordin or Jagen. (Trade away his silver lance if you do that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Gordin. He's just not that useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Try sacrificing Marth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Poor gaggles, saved by Marth only to be used as a decoy and die anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Gordin. No one else is even remotely as bad as him. Gordin needs forged weapons for like... Forever to be particularly useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm one of those guys who ends up oddly blessed with Gordin each time I use him (maybe the time of day I was playing? That apparently effects the RNG). Jagen sucks, Frey's canon, and Cain's nothing special. Really, send anybody but Abel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMikey Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Gordin is the least useful, but you don't really need Jagen, either, so it's your call. Don't send any of the cavaliers, they're all at least decent. (Though at the same time you don't really need all three of them either... ah, forget it.)

Gradivus. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) don't sack Jagen, at least he's temporarily (= 2/3+ of the game actually) good. Gordin isn't. Edited August 12, 2015 by Gradivus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avarice Shadow Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Send Gaggles. I mean the man gets himself captured in the first place... Make him pay for that mistake with death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapbar Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I always send the old man, and keep Gordin out of pity But yeah Gordin is useless. Alternatively you can just kill both of them (sacrifice one, then strip the other of weapons and leave him to die to Pegs) in a bid to get the Gaidens (Although I'm not sure if Decoy kill counts towards getting Gaiden Chapters) Edited August 12, 2015 by Soapbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Not recruiting characters at all is also as good as killing them for that purpose. You also need to kill both (or one of the better units) to get Norne, though she's not much better than Gordon.

Gradivus. Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Norne is less useful than any of the characters you'd sack to get her. Not like you'd care in NM, but still Edited August 12, 2015 by Gradivus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdb1984 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I always sacrifice Jagen. Get rid of the Jeigan, and let his poor stat growths die with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Looks like the choice is between Gordin and Jeigan. I don't know I tend to not have great luck with archers and I normally am only able to get one archer to be good, but I know I won't be using Jeigan much either. I think I will wait until tomorrow to decide, I won't be playing it until the afternoon, so I will have awhile to decide. How is sending Fray cannon? I know Jeigan is one of Marth's advisers and so story wise he should live, but how is Fray any less important to the story then Gordin?

eclipse Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm one of those guys who ends up oddly blessed with Gordin each time I use him (maybe the time of day I was playing? That apparently effects the RNG). Jagen sucks, Frey's canon, and Cain's nothing special. Really, send anybody but Abel. I'm quite fond of Cain, so I'm going to mod abuse and ban you. don't sack Jagen, at least he's temporarily good. Gordin isn't. It's Normal Mode, so Jagen stays useful for a VERY long time. --- Sacrifice each of them (including Marth) for gallery completion. Then, use a RNG, because the game is that easy. Seriously. . .it depends. Gordin's the hardest to train, Frey/Cain/Abel all turn out good, and Jagen stays relevant for a long time. It depends on what your plans for your run are! But I'm going to advocate Abel so that he can't betray you in FE12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
