ScaSca Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I just beat FE7 today!! I ended up poorly leveling all of the lords, so the last chapter became weakening all the enemies with my spirit animal; Florina; and then feeding kills last minute for Eliwood. I was wondering how easy it was for everyone else to level their lords, and if one of them turned out way stronger than the other two. (also hihi I am new to serenes forest and forums in general :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link16hit Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Welcome! It was easy to level them I guess? Before Eliwood chapter Lyn was lvl 14. The first chapter of Eliwood can be cleaned up Eliwood. Lyn is a glass cannon, so give her some robes and dragonshield. Eliwood is so-so (depend of growth), and Hector is a good tank and cav destroyer Also, if you beat Eliwood, then Hector mode (and hard Lyn) now open. I suggest playing hector too, there is more chapter than Eliwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOO OKAY I DIDNT KNOW THERES A HECTOR MODE. also thanks so much for the advice, on my next playthrough (and on hector mode) Im totally gonna prioritize leveling up my protagonists and using your tips 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I never had a hard time leveling up Lyn, Eliwood, or Hector. They're usually leveled pretty fast on my playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also hihi I am new to serenes forest and forums in general :>) Fun little fact, if your lords are high enough level before Four Fanged Offensive, you get to face Linus there instead of Llyod, with you facing the other one in Cog of Destiny, so good luck leveling them up to see this alternate chapter on the next run. As for your overall question, I generally find it easy to levelup Hector, Eliwood can be a bit of a mixed bag, if he is getting good levelups he does fine, but his growths tend to be coin-flips, so he can easy be Eli-good, or Eli-bad. Lyn really needs the help of Lyn mode (you eventually get the option to skip it) to keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link16hit Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 oh yeah, that remind me. If you plan to do hector mode after Lyn mode, level up Nils to 7 or 8. There will be a surprise for Hector mode. You can train your character vs Laughren? (uncle of Lyn) at the last chapter , if they can do at least 1 damage. If you play on a real console without savestate, you can abuse the arena! When you pay, you can see the opponent, lvl and the weapon they use. You can soft-reset the game (a b select start iirc) to not use money...but time consuming and trivialize the game. Priotize which character you want to use instead of wasting exp Eliwood/Hector arc.

Skillshare Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It really wasn't terribly hard at all. I had some problems with Hector at points, because he's roughly as fast as a drunken snail riding a tortoise, but overall, my lords leveled up quick. Not quick enough to get Geitz instead of Wallace though, curses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 In general, I find Hector turns out more reliable (I only played a few times but my Hector tended to do better than he "should" on speed). I did get a really great Eliwood once. I don't think I've ever had a great Lyn unfortunately? If you play through again, you might consider peering at the guides for hidden treasure on the desert maps and unlock conditions for gaidens. Like link16hit recommended, you can level up Nils to 7 or 8 (I think it's 7) in Lyn mode for helping in the gaiden unlock requirements. Again merely echoing link16, you might enjoy the story you unlock in Hector mode. If you really love this game and want to play it over and over on harder difficulties or with challenges, but you want the Lyn mode bonuses, you might want to leave a Lyn mode save at the last chapter of her story. That way, you only need to beat one chapter again in order to access Eliwood or Hector normal or hard modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I've never had issues levelling Lyn, but I also always play Lyn mode. Eliwood I tend to need to feed some kills early on, but he usually gets going before too long, assuming he gets some speed. Hector is never hard to level per se, but also never becomes really great for me. He's like a consistent 7/10 from beginning to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a surprise for Hector mode. If you access a certain side chapter (getting to said chapter isn't that hard if you know what you're doing) and can kill a certain enemy that isn't easy to kill (there's the problem). Back on topic... Hector is generally easy to raise. His use of axes gives him weapon advantage against most enemy units in the game, and he's durable too (well, other than against mages; those can really hurt him). Lyn has her own mode to level up in to make her more usable in the main game. Eliwood tends to be a mixed bag, and he tends to have trouble getting going in Hector hard mode.

Lol 😁 Hell I had Hector maxed out on my last two playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
