Rate the Unit, Day 48: Darros

[Peppy]

Dat Rules (borrowed/stolen from Integrity)

- Ratings are assumed to be on Hard 1 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.

- Every ranking phase ends from 2100 to 2200 EST. Every ranking phase starts from 2200 EST to 2300 EST. 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.

- Rate the character based on his/her performance without the Rainbow Potion, Maturity Drop or Bond Drop

- 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.

Curiosity, why was Hard mode 1 chosen over the others? Is it because the later modes make many characters obsolete?

Normal mode: You can LOL through the game with everyone

H2 and up: A larger chunk of the cast becomes unusable

Darros has insane HP, and the rest of his bases aren't facepalmworthy. If he reclasses to Dracoknight, he'll be able to insta-Hammer/Ridersbane/Killer Axe, which is nice for a few chapters (then those enemies go away and never return). He's got some Speed problems, though.

3.75/10

[PKL]

Darros huh. Well, he has B Axes which is pretty cool. Decent bases except for Spd. (dont expect him to double anytime soon). And thats really darros's problem. His freaking spd. If he had a better spd base, he would be much more useable. His bases make him hit decently hard but he will never ORKO anything unless its a killer crit or something :/. Poor Darros. 4/10

[Colonel M]

Darros is a little better in this game than he was in the previous game, but he still appears rather lackluster. It sucks, too, because his only real weakness is that Speed of his. I guess, at least, he can be thrown around in speedier classes to compensate, but none will really allow him to retain his Axe rank. I guess Hero is close.

4/10. Stupid 6 base Spd is stupid.
