It's probably so enemies aren't completely gimped or are complete pushovers while you pelt them from range or whatever.

I might be misunderstanding you but generics do have more than just class growth rates. Each class of generic has growths + class growths like normal units. http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/other-characters/growth-rates/

What about make her a Sniper with archer as your secondary?

FE10 is my favorite because I love the aesthetics of everything from the great character designs and artwork, and the gameplay is great, with some interesting mechanics that I wish would return (ledges). Ike is also my favorite lord. Having multiple armies lets you use and experiment with lots of units to see which ones you want to use for endgame. I really want to say Path of Radiance is my favorite, since it is what introduced me to the series, and has a superior story, but I think the more balanced and challenging gameplay gives Radiant Dawn the edge. It's really close though, I bought POR on a whim at a gameshop for $45 (Which is a steal now!) and fell in love with the series ever since

Character wise: Arthur, Hinata, Saizo, Niles. I find them all great and entertaining Unit wise: Xander is my go-to crutch in Conquest, Corrin is great everywhere, Camilla is great in both Conquest and Revelation. Ryoma is broken enough that I restrict myself from using him. I'd restrict Xander and Camilla too but I can't imagine doing Conquest without them.

Hero of Justice Arthur Or Vanguard!Arthur whichever sounds more fun.

I wasn't big on Tharja in Awakening but I kinda like her better here. Of the 3 Awakening expies though, I easily find her the best. To me, she's the only one i find that maybe improved from their Awakening counterpart.

If only all fighters could look as dignified and heroic as the true disciple of justice.

Haitaka puts in work with Rally Defense. I've always thought that Hero/Mercenary is the best looking class throughout the series and I only feel stronger about that with the designs here.

Hinata likes to stay a sword master to keep his speed up. If you make him a master of arms, he appreciates a practice katana.

Yeah, I got pretty excited when I read the original article, but with all the success coming out of the series now, I'd be shocked if there wasn't another. I'll be ready to board the hype train when it's actually announced.

You guys realize that they said that they actually did not have it confirmed. Here's the article http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/04/05/correction-the-next-fire-emblem-entry-is-not-confirmed.aspx

Hinoka - Guard Naginata

Mercenary Hinata Samurai Arthur Ninja Beruka Fighter Kagero

Ignatius has kind of a bad one. He takes 2 more damage if he's not actively paired up.

Crescent bow instead of Brave Bow seems like change just for the sake of change. I feel like the Soldier's knife should have just been the Brave Knife for consistency.

Maid! Effie also maybe Hero! Felicia as some kind of Levin sword specialist.

You don't get any WExp in Conquest My Castle battles.

I feel like it's a really cool class on paper, but dealing with two E ranks really sucks and weapon ranks take forever to level up in this game. If you're adamant on using it however, I'd save some Arm Scrolls to use on yourself.

Does anyone know if those generics have any growths? When I played this chapter, they all kind of just got immediately got slaughtered.

It's pretty good if you want to favor using axes as well as being able to fall back on the Yato. If you are going to primarily use swords, you might as well just go Hero since it's near identical stat wise but has a better weapon rank for swords and has slightly better speed and skill.

I have lancefaire for her. 05640-50400 19445-21262 EDIT: Also Axefaire for Arthur

It gives +4 to those stats for being in your inventory. Since you are a Basara, you don't have it equipped. When it's equipped, it gives the regular katana bonuses +1 speed -1 defense and resistance.

I can confirm that the regular katana buffs still apply to the Omega Yato when equipped, I just checked now

For vanguard I'd recommend +speed since it has kind of mediocre speed. For Hero I'd recommend either +speed or strength just to make yourself more strong offensively since it's not weak in really any area besides magic or resistance.
