[What makes a Fire Emblem Unit GOOD or BAD?]

Listen to Czarpy. It varies from game to game, but in FE4, for example, almost every unit who doesn't have a horse is kinda meh. Of course, this varies some based on whether you're going for a low turn-count or just looking for a unit which doesn't need much training, but the former tends to be the metric by which units are judged. 

In fact, only two armor units I can think of, Oswin and Effie, are considered any good throughout the entire series. And for the latter, it's largely because you can give her a horse.

[I have 7 orbs :D]

Just Get Gud and free summon a five star Effie like I did.

But Shenron works too.

 

[2017 IS FINALLY GODDAMN DEAD; LONG LIVE 2018]

Happy New Year!

[Voting Gauntlet: Winter Festival vs. New Year’s!]

Ryoma needs to win this as the best seasonal New Year's lobster. 

[Tempest Trials: Less than Heroic!]

Just going to have to use Brave Lyn and accept the 20 percent bonus. I tend to use horse emblem in these trials even though they are all maxed out in HM.

It's okay, I'm mostly a collector, so I'd rather get a -Atk 5* than none at all.  I just think it's funny that my curse had persisted for so long beyond all probability.

I mean, I've already got most of my arena assault teams set up. Beyond a certain point, the game's more about collecting than building teams.

But I could always use more distant counter.

[New Heroes: Children of Fate]

From what I remember, the Fates children are more popular than most of the Awakening children. And several of the most popular ones are already in the game in some form.
