    However, once you clear the map you’re on, he’s mysteriously back in your party at the same level and stats, just missing the items he had when he “died”.

     I think there should be a one chapter break in between respawns. minus final chapters

    You can use him, and he still won't cap much, provided you're playing on Eliwood Mode where his promotion is so late that he couldn't possibly get that many levels. Now on Hector Mode, sure, since you get the first Heaven's Seal much earlier than his promotion in EM, and he does have first dibs on it due to him having unequivocally the best promotion of the three lords.

    If you use him on Eliwood mode, he's more likely to cap because he can reach level 20 due to unpromoted exp gain + late promotion  and , IF YOU ACTUALLY US HIM HE'LL GAIN LEVELS

    Paladin Amelia has 21 AS vs Eliwood's 19 in this case, and GK Amelia has 22 VS 19. Neither can double Eliwood like General Amelia can in this situation. 

    Eliwood straight up wins in these cases due to his extra bulk and greater strength. 

    ok, thank you this is what I meant in the original post.

    Eliwood could too since he uses swords and lances.

    If they're both using the Horseslayer, Eliwood actually gets doubled by General Amelia(His 23 speed and 9 con vs. her 11 con and 25 speed with a 13 weight weapon. His effective speed is 19 in this case, her's is 23). He loses that one. He'd go toe to toe with GK and Paladin, since for whatever stupid reason, all of Amelia's promoted classes cap at 25 speed and General is the only one that lets her wield such a heavy weapon while breaking into doubling territory with the con boosts.

    His best bet would to use a Rapier, since he'd actually double Paladin Amelia using a Horseslayer, and nothing Amelia uses would let her double him beyond a Brave Lance

    ok but what about paladin or great knight Amelia with horse slayer vs eliwood with horse slayer?

     is that a list of units who cap every stat?

    not every stat. just a stat or 2.

    Dorcas certainly won't do that with his bad speed growth

    strength.

    Guy most likely won't cap any defensive skill

    he'll still cap a stat or 2. also for both of these units...

    not if you ACTUALLY USE THEM.

    When you're viewing your topic, scroll your mouse to the upper right corner of the first post in the topic and click "report post".

    Or message a moderator, either a global moderator or a moderator for that specific board.  Point is to bring it to the attention of a mod so that they can take care of it.

    I'm pretty sure those are the only ways to get a topic deleted; you can't just delete them yourself.

    what I mean is that I want to stop people from typing on it.

    Well since you never explicitly show me or tell me of his stats I must wonder.

    It actually is less might than the Killing edge and the same might as a steel sword

    I'll tell you guy's stats because I use wii u vc. 

    str:19

    Skill:27

    Spd:30

    Luck:18

    Def:19

    Res:16

    move, con, and aid are unchanged

    and what I meant by the wo dao can be used is that it's very similar to the killing edge (boots crit by 5 more than the killing edge) and It's free! although Lyn and the Luther 2 sword masters can also use the wo dao since the wo dao is locked to Lyn lords, sword masters, and mrymidons ( I may be wrong about the Lyn part)

    OK so you take stats that Guy has in a normal play through which is really bad and say that I'm telling you to only play LTC/Ranked runds even though I only mentioned that for 1 of the 3 problems so you're saying my entire argument is 33% of what I really ever said.  But Shocker right here: Weapons costing a lot isn't a problem for optimal players, normal players also suffer because you don't have unlimited gold in any mode.


    A silver sword costs 1,500 G in the GBA FE's which is a lot so why would I buy several expensive swords just so Guy can barely do enough damage when I could use cheaper steel swords and give them to someone like Raven and still have enough money left to buy something else for other units.

    The problem with Guy is his low strength, if you check the enemies stats you see that they usually have low speed and/or are slowed down by a heavy weapon so for most generic enemies 12-14 speed works fine (which while he does get that speed quickly everyone else does in time for when they need to). And as for the bosses? Raven can double those too or the endgame ones can be critted with Luna by Canas or maybe killed by a tanky Lowen who doesn't fear a counter like most other units etc.

    So Guy needs strength and at a low 6 strength base or 8 in HHM and a 30% growth for his strength; that stat will rarely go up, although I myself did get screwed because at level 16 he should have 9 strength, which isn't all that different actually from my 7. And the reason people believe he's strong is because he comes with a Killing Edge which is powerful but it breaks quickly and then when you keep finding mostly lance enemies he actually really sucks.

    But that isn't his only problem he also lacks 2 more stats to be good: he lacks defense and he lacks range.

    Let's go over the first one which is defense, his defense is utter trash 5 or 6 defense with his base hp of 21 or 25 means that even Pegasus knights who have no problem sneaking past your defenses attack him and take half of his hp away especially since many have Steel lances which means that if Guy is injured and you can't heal him well that proves lethal almost all the time and defense will rarely go up, it's a 15% growth that is horrible combine this with how almost every enemy in this game uses lances and his def is effectively almost always -1 and that also reduces his hit and avoid by 15 which is quite a dent if the enemy were on a house, on a pillar, on a forest, on a fort, on a throne or on a gate.

    He has his second problem too and it's range or rather 1-2 range by that I mean he can never hit at both 1 and 2 range like lance users and axe users can with javelins and hand axes respectively so any enemy that can attack him at 2 range does and gets in the way and remember that against those lance enemies he is very fragile, Raven suffers from this problem too but upon promotion which because of his high level and stats is ok to do so at level 10 he gains axes and can immediately start using hand axes to be able to retaliate and also gets good promotion bonuses except for def which he lacks but less with his higher growth of def and hp stat. Guy upon promotion gets no new weapons, and +2 Strength and +2 Def what a good unit!

    So there we go, a unit with extremely high speed but crippling strength and defense that makes him always a bad risk to use on enemy phase.
     

    okay, maybe I just got lucky when I used him. 

     

    (edit) he easily caps speed though.

    also Karel and Karla come with a wo dao which guy can use, because it not a prefered weapon.

    Guy in my current playthrough has 7 Str and 16 Spd and he is level 16, Raven has 14 Str and capped speed at level 14 and since all unpromoted units caps except HP are 20 that means he has 20 speed. Like come on what? Guy always lacks the strength to kill anything unless you promote him at level 20 (bad idea) buy him expensive swords to do meaningful damage (not optimal play) or when he crits (which isn't something you must depend on 24/7 or else you'll be screwed over). And I'm using Guy only to know how he performs.

    What I feel like I'm being told here is that ranked runs/ltc are the only ways to play that matter
