daisy jane Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I am replaying (haha i had to!) and i changed some things (i made Kliff a Dreadfighter for one) but i generally kept everyone else the same, including Faye as a Cleric. This run i was going for Max/Min stats and trying to achieve overclassing, as I want to play Thabes. I hit 14 for Faye and have just realised now.... anew sucks. so i am wondering should I Pitchfork Faye into the Peg. Knight line or just keep her as a buf healer? (I was contemplating this for the Dread Fighters too - use the villager loop to really maximize their stats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose482 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I always make my Faye a mage, she always turns out amazing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy jane Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 i never thought of her as a mage. i might try that too it's just sucky that on Alms side you only have two (three if you get the Cipher, but i the Ciphers on Celicas side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobodiePichu Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 faye should generally work out i any attack class role really, atk def and hp are her best growths as i remember after all. as such just push her into whichever one ya want or need, i turned mine into a cavalier as i remember and it worked out pretty damn well.

Sock Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Physic alone is a good enough reason to keep her cleric. I never bothered using Anew. But, I also never bothered trying her in a different class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatManThree Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Her best class is Cleric due to Physic and Rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Spaghetti Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Nah, I say make her either a Saint (which Faye learns anew which is a skill only learnable by her) or a falcon knight. (I would go with saint for the exclusive skill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhoop Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Honestly, Mage Faye doesn't really appeal to me and I don't really like Pegasus knights in the first place...So I usually go with cavalier, and she turns out great.

Yuzu sucks. she has crap spells, and even with a ladyblade shes not very lethal and i've slapped a star jacinth on her. Shade is decent (i mean another physic/rescue early game if you get her really fast (i got her in act two, next playthrough i'm going to see if it's possible to beat the challenges like right clair/clive recruitment), but compared to Faye. meh. (but you do get silence + freeze). Emma and Randall though? they are amazing. Emma's is the best of my whitewings (including Est) in all growths, and i've strapped the evolved Ridersbane on her (Rhomphaia?) and she's unlocked Dragonhaze, so it's awesome-sauce. (plus you get another triangle attack if you keep her training weapon, just less of a chance of it crit.). Randal, also crits a lot (regardless of a weapon - i have him with an Emperor's lance but he has great speed too so he's mastered his weapon, the Rom. again and now the Emperor's lance. it real compliment to Celicia's side. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's me as a person, but if you want me to go more in-depth... 40 40 30 30 30 40 3 These are Faye's growths as a villager, as a Pegasus Knight, they are 35 35 30 35 35 35 3 and after Falco-Knight Promotion, they are 30 30 30 40 40 30 3 These growths just...don't appeal to me plain and simple. I don't want to have another Pegasus Knight with a weakness the enemy can exploit (There are no enemy ridersbane last time I checked, but they do get bows), especially when the class itself lowers the strong points of that Character. Sure Falco-Knights get 10 extra dmg in echoes, but I'm not gonna baby Faye and Clair for 12 levels each. Even then, I don't really use Clair because she can't keep up with the rest of the units I use (basically Alm, Mathilda when I get her, Clive if He can get a few points of defense, Lukas, Mercenary Gray, Mage Tobin, Archer Kilff, and Silque. Forsyth if he keeps up with Lukas, and Python if he keeps up with Kilff., and of course, Cav Faye) Sure, Clair can do decent against mages, but she can never one round them, and in the end, that kills her because there are more than one arcanists around. With the rest of the roster I listed + Cav Faye, I can one round each and every arcanist, while taking at least 2-3 hits before getting K.O.ed simply because of their MAssive HP, which Clair and Peg Faye do not have before Falcoknight. And then, when they would get falco-knight, I never used them because, well, I don't need them. Now if numbers aren't enough....I simply don't like the way the Pegasus Knight has aged. Yes, You can keep them fast, but why take away Rescue from them? Yes, keep the fanservice with miniskirts and whatever the hell else Pegasus knights have, I don't care (actually I do, but that's me being nit picky). But in recent installments, they haven't been up to the standards I've been used to. SoV was a wonderful remake of Gaiden, don't get me wrong, but they could've done so, so much better than they did. But Fates basically killed Pegasus Knights for me with Subaki simply not being a good unit in my eyes and Hinoka coming underleveled in Revelations (I don't even remember trying to use her in Birthright). Awakening with Sumia and Cordelia...don't get me wrong, decent units....but I didn't need them. In the older installments of the game, the player needed at least one Pegasus Knight for some reason (mostly not combat) and I loved that. And then, because of that need, they became good.

Landmaster Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Mage Faye would probably be good but Silque, at least in my playthrough, is such a poor and weak healer, I need Faye to stay a a Cleric so that we at least have one reliable healer. And she's a great Saint, so she'll get to use some Black Magic regardless. Plus where White Magic Spells are great, so, yeah, I think she's good in her regular class~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage of the Mist Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Cleric!Faye is arguably her best option due to reasons that others have mentioned already but ill just reiterate why I think so Earliest Physic user in the whole game. Her growths suit the clerics focus on healing and support rather than offense. Anew, though it comes late is exclusive to her She is the only person baring Sage!Atlas with rescue in the entire game High atk means she will heal high amounts of HP even from a distance If I was going to change her class I would go with mage, she gets freeze which with her high atk should give it decent range. She gets recover in this class line as well so she can still be a secondary healer and range three spells never hurt anyone, though her speed growth leaves room for improvement. In truth Faye can pretty much preform well in anything you give her, but cleric is the only class where no one else outmatches her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riff Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 made a a pegasus knight on my first playthrough, she was good she hits harder than clair. on my 2nd playtrough i made her a cleric and i think it was a better idea since silque doesn't have physic. wrys is still the best though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafarer Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Cleric is far and away Faye's best option. Quite apart from Physic and Rescue, with an A support with Alm she has 80% accurate Nosferatu. Give her a Mage Ring and sit her next to Alm and she'll never die, while killing basically everything short of Grima/Duma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDK Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Personally I used Faye as a Cleric. Although I will say that Tatiana is the best Saint in Alm's route imo. If you have the DLC classes than promoting Faye up again would not be a bad idea. I think you lose out on anew through this promotion, but iirc you gain more offensive spells. If I had to take Faye into another class it would probably the Pegasus Knight for the flier advantage and monster slaying. Of course my two play throughs of SoV were basically luck dependent, but I tend to play FE by relying on lucky dodges at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowi's Husband Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'd never use anything but Cleric myself, they were amazing in this game since healing had no durability and they had cool support spells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had min-maxed my stats I might be less irritated, but as it is, I'm just planning on running Jesse, Saber, Kamui, Tobin (dread fighter), Alm, Celica, Tatiana, Genny, Silque, and I dunno probably Mathilda or maybe Python. The first four have been through the villager loop a couple of times and their most important stats are maxed. The three healers will be using Invoke mostly. Alm and Celica will lie low. Mathilda and Python are both bad compared to the dread fighters. The two of them, and Alm and Celica all seriously underperform once you get to floor 9. I've had one close call with one of my characters dying (first time I used a revival spring), and I've had two instances after hours of heavy grinding where Alm or Celica were exposed by a death in the front lines, and the turnwheel was useless.

I'm not sure if I'll like Thabes either but i figure i didn't attempt it the first time, so i should try now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
