Rate the Unit Day 20: Hardon


Recommended Posts

Dat Rules

- Ratings are assumed to be on Hard 2 Mode.

- Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted. If somebody else said what you want to already, quote them explicitly.

+/- ≤1 point extra regarding personality/appearance is encouraged, but no more. If you exercise your bias privileges, please do so explicitly. Also, if your vote is already a 10/10 or greater than 9 and you give a full point of bias, The score may not exceed 10!

- Numerical votes out of 10, or something proportional to it. Make it easy to calculate for my sake.

- Each ranking phase ends from 2100 to 2200 EST. 13th May start the topic again but i am not sure. Do the math if you are in another timezone!

- I will insist you do not use the "Not X" reason on any character, where X is another unit. If you do, your vote will be thrown out.

- "Recruits X" or "takes you to X chapter" arguments are explicitly banned. C'mon, people, this shouldn't need to be a rule. That's not gameplay performance.

- Assume that the character in question is being recruited.

- Similar to the "Recruits X" rule, do not use "He Comes with a Free Ridersbane" as an argument.

- I withhold the privilege to tell you your rating is bogus and demand you revise it if it breaks any of the above. I will not throw out votes anonymously, you will be informed and given a chance to revise.

I know Narshen's been busy from time to time, but Matthis has been rotting for a few days plotting how to kill his sister, so let's get this done and over with as far as rating the next character. I'll tally Matthis later. After

*puts on shades

I get rid of this Hardon.

It's like Jagen, but with room to grow. . .and a random point of Res. I don't like that 30% Strength in what should be his best class - that's Vyland-bad.

7/10

He can use Silver Lances at base, which is "all that matters". But seriously, he also has solid bases, good growths (wtf at that speed), joins fairly early, and his starting weapon ranks suit the best classes in class set A (cavalier/paladin and dracoknight).

9/10

On the topic of terrible, but oh so lovely, puns:

Stat-wise matches up well with Abel and Cain, only with dat Silver Lance capability. Also lololol Hardon

8.5/10

As for my rating, this but +1 because of the turban and being a badass, so 9.5/10

Guess who else can?

Remember this sexy beast and your not-realistic score? I'm half-tempted to throw your vote out merely for inconsistency's sake. Which means Hardin will be ranked 4/10 tops from you.

Best way to describe Hardin? Imagine Cain or Abel at a higher level with B lances, 1 res and a slightly lower strength growth. 8.5/10, a dependable unit, good if the big two died or you want three horsies (and why not).

His str growth is sorta low but hey its just slightly lower than that of Cain and Abel. I'd love to rate him 10/10, but I honestly can't rate him higher than Cain/Abel.

Silver Lance capability is just awesome. Sure Jagen can do that too, but this guy has actual growths for a change. Awesome.

9/10

Let's see what Hardin has going for him.

Solid bases? Check.

Nice growths? Check.

Automatic silver lance and ridersbane access? Check.

Mustache? Check.

Turban? Check.

Hardin is a man among men, and only old man J can exceed him in sheer badassery. 9.5/10

Vyland has a bad strength base and bad strength growth whereas Hardin has a great strength base and a bad strength growth, and Hardin gets an additional +1 Power from B lances, meaning his base strength is like... Vyland at level 15.

Anyway, Hardin has a passable sword rank, a very good Lance rank, and solid bases everywhere. His HP growth is awful though, which hurts his durability in the long run when compared to CainAbel. His offence is right on par for the whole game though.

8 + 1 bias = 9/10.

Unlike the 3 other Cavaliers dumped on the player in chapters 4-5, Hardin does not need to go Curate -> Sniper to be useful!

But yeah, that B-rank in Lances is much appreciated. Not just for Silver Lance access, but for also slapping +5 hit on Javelins and the Ridersbane since these weapons like to betray me at the worst possible times.
