    Is Raven really average as what the 0% growth run implies?

    in Fire Emblem

    Ok so I looked a bit of the discussion that Raven is either overrated or is just an average unit that isn't Marcus tier when seeing the 0% growth run. Even some of the members here say so. 

    I mean like really? How is that the problem. I mean when you consider that..

    1. Is the only unit that makes use of the hero crest

    2. Is your best axe user until lategame.

    3. Has really high bases for his join time.

    How can Raven still have problems for those saying he has problems? Like sure, he'll struggle a bit before promotion but its not like its hard to get him promoted...is it?

    and how can he perform so bad in a 0% growth run?

     

    1. I mean in LTC, he's probably the only efficient choice. For ranked, he's a contender for a later one since he doesn't need to promote to be a solid combatant.
    2. Not really. Hawkeye and Geitz are super solid. All the paladins are as well.
    3. Yeah the bases are what make him good.

    But the key thing to remember that Raven's durability is dependent on his bases and solid HP growth. Well, his avoid is decent enough, but don't rely on it.

     

    Also in 0% growths, Raven's average. He relies on growths to catch up. If we're just going by bases, his his durability will be shit forever. He's fast enough to double shit even when weighed down, but there's only so many times he can take a barrage of hits. One thing you'll notice is that when discussions on higher difficulty modes in FE games is that unit durability matters a hell of a lot. If someone's gonna be a glass cannon, they'd better be something like Ced with Forseti or something equally as goddamned ridiculous.  (Forsetti on it's own is stupid since it gives +spd which results in +avoid, but hey.)

     

    Which free unit do you want to merge up?

    When comparing units to everything else that exists, the size of their own class doesn't actually matter.

    well sure.

    but then it's the axe cavalier pool. When the best of the normal pool is Titania, there's something missing from it.

    I'd say that Groom Marth's statline is probably super good for merging. Idk about Walhart, but he gets a good prf +B slot at least.

    If you ignore armors, Masked Marth is probably the best grail unit. Aversa (once she's available), Kana, Azura (once she's available), Linus, and Ethlyn are also very good choices.

    I'm guessing that Valter/Michalis/Groom Marth/Walhart scale pretty well. The latter two being great since the axe horse pool is pretty small. 

     

    I think I'm going to grab a Finn copy first since I missed out on him. Then it's off to getting Aversa copies since her niche is pretty handy.

    drafts are heavily skewed towards early joining units so i don't think reasoning involving drafts should really be used in any context outside of drafts

    she's as good of a taxi as an unpromoted cavalier. not that that's not _bad_ but it's not _good_ either since you have lots of other mounts that are better than her at doing so while taking less effort to train i.e. paladins & fliers. might be useful in a draft setting if you got fucked over and didn't get a lot of mounts, otherwise iffy at best

    i also don't think LTC should be used to rate units considering that rating units under an LTC setting uses a completely different criteria to judge a unit's performance (i.e. how many turns they save) than a regular playthrough (which is holistic and takes into account things like bases availability and all that)

    for example lilina is pretty much worthless in any regular playthrough but is good in LTC for the bolting crits

    i don't think i've seen a strat that uses longbow in the egg map

    by the time you get brave bow, the only flying enemies remaining in the game are gar/deathgoyles and they already get utterly smashed by the divine weapons meaning this utility is completely useless. the divine weapons have 30 uses each anyway which is more than enough for the rest of the game after you get them


    as for the thread question, innes is miles ahead of neimi since he actually has stats to work with. the benchmarks for fe8 isn't high but innes takes zero effort to get there while neimi only ends up maybe marginally better than innes once trained out of her shitty archer phase because she gets a horse. but between zero investment and getting a 7 mov horse i'll pick the zero investment any day, i have 8 mov units to taxi my lords to the seize point

     

    i mean sure, Innes is essentially a no-effort Nidhogg user and all.

    It's just that fe8's bar is so incredibly low.
