I just finished my first (completely blind) playthrough of Berwick Saga and decided to look at a tier list to know what the community thinks about the different characters. The first (and, to be fair, only) one I found was made on reddit and left me a bit confused... I hope some of you can enlighten me.
First off, why is Sherlock considered the best unit in the game ? I used him, I thought he was pretty good, but him being the best seems strange to me. The same goes for Dean, what makes him so good ? I know I am being a bit unfair with him as I only used him in the first map but he left me fairly unimpressed...
I never managed to promote Elbert but I can see him being in High. My question is how much is Provoke part of his utility ?
I assume Arthur is in High because of his good bases and his mount... or is it (also) because of his skills ? I found Flurry to be pretty anecdotal, while Desperation and Hurry were nice but not amazing, but maybe I'm wrong.
I agree with Volo being in top just by virtue of Deathmatch, but then I don't understand why Leon would be 2 tiers lower. While I agree he is worst at combat, I never thought the difference was that important and having a mount is a real boon. Am I missing something ?
Finally, I want to ask about Izerna. It feels a bit nitpicky as Upper Mid is still a good tier but it seems a little low to me. I feel Berwick's gameplay heavily rewards taking the initiative and waiting for the ennemy to engage your units is usually counterproductive. Having a healer then seems particularly important as you don't want your combat units to waste their turns drinking vulneraries instead of attacking...
For reference here is the tier list I'm talking about:
