I love his FE6 supports but I'm not a fan of his lame character in FE7. Gameplay-wise, I pretty much go Route A every time (Unless I specifically am planning to use Bartre). I prefer Route A Maps + Echidna over Route B Maps + Bartre. In FE7, his base speed really holds him back, and Dorcas, while also not being that great, is better due to much higher base speed (but still fairly low and won't improve much). Compared to Geitz, idk, since Geitz is annoying to get tbh, especially in efficiency.

I'm assuming you're in? Ok

Meg has better availability which means she can chip in a bit more than Fiona. It's not like they can do anything stellar.
-
you don't "need" an anima mage so forcing yourself to use Hugh/Lilina (who are both very mediocre units) is probably a mistake. why not use a better unit?

Is still going, and is there still a person needed? If so, I'll fill in

FE6: Going to go with Cecilia since it's a toss up and they're about the same but Cecilia has Anima rank unlike Clarine and also doesn't eat a Guiding Ring. I'd say use Clarine up until Cecilia and then bench her?
FE7: Sain if Lyn Mode is being done, because he has the choice to use Wallace's Knight's Crest to promote into a Paladin, effectively becoming a second Marcus. Lowen is better if no Lyn Mode is done because availability and Lowen will usually be better than Kent/Sain in their join chapter.
FE8: Moulder, I guess, slight chapter lead and he will have a level lead. Natasha can get Valkyrie which is nice I guess but Moulder's earlier join time makes him a bit better.
Bonus: Artur is better because he starts out better and can promote to Bishop

Nolan is the only notable one, really. Edward, Leonardo, and Aran don't usually become relevant enough to contribute anything and lol at using Meg/Fiona

Maniac is pretty interesting as an idea, but playing it is a slog. TItania is pretty much mandatory in the early chapters and is a great asset, but she does fall off a little bit at endgame (which isn't too big of an issue, she'll still be in top 5, just not god status anymore). A good strategy for it is to pick like two unpromoted cavaliers/fliers (most likely two of Oscar/Marcia/Jill?) and invest all your resources into them, essentially making a "super unit" to take on the large groups of enemies. Also, I didn't have an issue with the bulk of enemies, but the amount of enemies on the maps was what made me dislike the mode. And there's also some other annoying changes, such as removing Chest Keys, or adding more siege tomes, which don't add much difficulty really, the changes are just there to piss the player off, hence "Maniac" difficulty.

Ocean Seal is worth 50,000 gold and there is only one in the game (excluding the secret shop). Even then, his bases are nothing special either, and he also doesn't have a mount unlike Marcus/Lowen/Sain/Florina etc etc who will be doing a portion of the fighting. His crappy con for an axe user bites that low base speed even more.

I once said, when I was very new to FE, that prepromotes are bad because they steal EXP from unpromoted units. It's funny thinking back on it, how much of a scrub I was. Of course this was only due to me starting out FE and asking for advice on lolGameFAQs and listening to them. I'm glad I think differently nowadays.
