  1. It's different in my opinion because you can make the kids better depending on the father. Lex, Levin, and Dew and their likes are good BECAUSE their parenting is amazing. Recruiting another character does nothing for me, and it seems like that doesn't affect the votes so far. I think the only one it would be good would be Levin because he recruits Fury. But if anything it's a minor addition. Being a good parent is much better and dictates how some units are used in Gen 1.
  2. Rules (Borrowed from whomever made them first with modifications) - Ratings to be assumed from when a unit is first available. - Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted (unless they fall into the general parameters of the average rating, but reasoning is still strongly encouraged on those even if you just wanna quote people) — incredibly low scores or high scores without proper justification will not be counted. Don't put in some random text thinking it'd count as justification. Put in at least a little thought and give REAL reasoning. - Numbers for votes, please - not something like "Sigurd/10", etc. - Personality / Appearance may be taken into account, but only +/- 1 point at the most. - Votes out of 10, or something proportional to it, please! - Make votes easily visible, please and thank you! - Every ranking phase will end on the next day at approximately 10:00 PM (or 22:00), EST. Units and Ranking (Least to Greatest) Ardan: 1.39 Azel: 4.63 Midir: 5.47 Noish: 6.15 Alec: 6.17 Aideen: 6.57 Ayra: 6.79 Fin (First Generation): 7.88 Cuan: 8.41 Lex: 8.83 Ethlin: 9.15 Sigurd: 9.96 DAY 13: DEW ___ Dew, the magical little thief with the ridiculous growths and Solar Sword. What's not to love about him? Well, his shaky start and the fact that Sigurd, Cuan, and Lex roflstomp the whole damn game. Dew's pretty awesome because of his unique utility. He's a walking bank. With the ability to Give to anyone, Dew is always able to keep people supplied with cash. He himself is usually loaded as well, because whenever he lands a hit he steals money. While he's not the best fighter, all he needs to do is land one hit. He's also got a pretty good Avoid. He's also a terrific father. His growths help his kids out, and he gives them a combination of Bargain and Solar Sword. He can father Ayra, Lachesis, and Briggid's kids well. He's not their best father, but he's definitely good. He also promotes to 7 movement, so he'll move faster than all of the foot units to where he needs to be. I'll give Dew a solid 7.25/10 because despite his pretty bad combat, his utility and great parenting is enough to make him a damn good unit.
  3. shit i forgot to close the round again Aideen gets a 6.57~ Next round is up shortly!
  4. Tana flies but nowhere near as good as Vanessa or Cormag, both of whom will promote before her. In fact, promoting Tana may be tough anyway because she's the last flyer to promote and has to compete for a Master Seal. Tana IS a force to be reckoned with, however, she has better Strength and HP averages than Nessy, and they're about even in defenses. She also can support Ephraim which isn't too slow and she'll not be on the front lines for a while anyway. Overall I give her a 7/10.
  5. This. Hector either gets WTA or WTN against Darin and he'll be properly leveled even in HHM drafts.
  6. He's pretty weak. And he's the only Druid boss that isn't Nergal. Lamesauce. 2.5/10
  7. Forde's the middle man between Franz and Kyle. He probably has grabs on the second Knight Crest after Franz promotes, which makes him better. 7/10

Aideen's pretty awesome because she heals. She also gets the Warp Staff and is the only person who can use it until either Levin/Lachesis promotes or Claude arrives. That's pretty good odds. She's the main warper and saves tons of turns, especially in Chapter 3 when she can warp Sigurd to Mandino and have him charge the pirates before Briggid drowns in her own blood after eating axes and swords. Aideen is also the reason Briggid gets Ichival so props to her~ Promotion doesn't really do anything good for Aideen because she can only use basic magics. She can use every non-Valkyrie staff, but Reserve is already on Claude and Rescue only happens if she becomes Lovers with Claude. She can pass a shitton of staves to Lana though, to make her start in Gen 2 better. Lack of a horse hurts when your frontliners like Sigurd, Cuan, Fin, and Fury need healing, but Libro's 10 range can help that a bit. 6.75/10
  9. Really tempted to throw this one out. One sentence that skews the average? Try again. You've got 18 minutes.
  10. This. Hector's is the only decent one and it's still a little too much in the hair.
  11. The saturation too, Holy shit. I don't think Ephidel and Limstella's hair is that color... isn't it supposed to be ebony? Not to mention that some of them are redundant. I personally use FE8 skin tones as a base and darken/lighten when necessary.
  12. The thing with Ayra is that she usually has no problems clearing the Arena. Once she gets the Hero Sword she makes mince meat of every unit. She can easily pass a 50+ kill Hero Sword to Lakche while Sigurd's Silver Sword still has 50+ kills.
  13. I have a lot of issues with Kyle. He's arguably the worst of the Cav trio. He doesn't gain Speed like Forde or Franz and thus sucks at reliably doubling. Forde just needs a few Strength points and he'll be better than Kyle. That, and I'd promote Franz and Forde over Kyle, so by the time he's getting promoted... meh. 5/10
  14. Isn't there ancient text that surrounds Ashera when she casts Judge? (the one in the actual battle scene, not the AOE ones)

Damn. Because if she did all hell would break loose and she'd probably be one of the best units in Gen 1. Sadly she isn't on a horse which hurts her score. Ayra, however, has Meteor Sword and Pursuit (Nihil really doesn't do anything good for her). She also has a fuckton of Speed. She also has Minor Odo which buffs her Skill. Since Meteor Sword activates with Skill% this helps increase her chances of activating it more. Ayra also gets the superior Hero Sword in C3. Now, Sigurd probably wants it more, but Ayra can do wonders with it as well. She's also a terrific mother and can go with either Holyn or Lex for crazy swordtwin shenangians. She lacks in defense greatly, however, and not having a mount of sorts sucks testicles. Nonethelss I love Ayra and will give her +1 because she rocks my socks (and Skasaher <3) 8/10 including bias.
  16. I was doing it in order of the unit but I'll do that from now on~
  17. That's not enough for me. Explain why he gets a 2 or it doesn't get counted.
  18. Ephraim is the second best GBA lord. That's enough for me. But he's pretty awesome statwise. He has Regenleif which is gamebreaking, and he also has some amazing supports (full attack on almost every one IIRC). Plus, he gets a pony after promotion. 8.5/10 because I don't like him as a character. So he was 9.5/10 before.

I call bullshit. Midir has bowlock, so enemy phase doesn't exist. Cool. He's got Pursuit. And he's on a horse. That's his only redeeming factor. He's a decent father for Lester because he gives Lester Pursuit and passes down bows, but Jamka can pass down Charge and Continue, a Killer Bow, and a Hero Bow. That's better in my eyes. -1 because I don't like him. 2.5/10
  20. And another round's over. Next round up shortly! 7.88 for Fin in the First Generation... I wonder what his Second Generation score will be.
  21. There's a reason why Rutger is arguably one of FE6's best units despite being swordlocked and not on a mount. Arguably only Miledy is better than him, and possibly Alance. But Alance lacks HM bonuses that both Miledy and Rutger get.
  22. Swordlock in FE8 sucks. But he is pretty cool and has a KE. He also promotes to my favorite class which helps his case. He also has nearly unlimited Shamshir access because he really only competes with Eirika and Assassin!Colm (lolmarisa). He also can get full crit with L'Arachel/Gerik Support (lolmarisa) But he is a growth unit which hurts in efficiency. However, he's not horrible and can use Audhulma very, very well. did i forget to mention lolmarisa? 7/10 (6 +1 for personal bias)
