Recondite

Whatever, not the point >.>

In FE11, you don't see anyone arguing Marth for best unit in the game just because he is necessary to kill Medeus.

I'd like to see someone beat the prologue under these restrictions (hint: you can't) And have fun never using the silver lance

But do we care about prioritizing mothers if most of the children will be garbage anyway? What if we simply assume each parent was used when rating the children, but ignore the effect otherwise? Might not be feasible, I don't know. We could use 'must contribute more than Donnel' as the criterion for a given child actually getting on the list and just ignore Nah and company entirely. Or 'must be reasonably possible to recruit before endgame'.

Or maybe a fixed percentage more than that baseline? 20%? It would be nice if it wasn't in basically-Avatar-and-partner-solo range.

I think we all have a decent idea of what "brisk" means. We can worry about semantics later. Flavia and Basilio are certainly more useful in Lunatic, but they still have no availability. Ricken's crappy ORKOable chip is probably better.

Fair enough.

I figured we could add in the kids from the maps than can actually be completed in a reasonable time frame (Kjelle, Brady, Morgan, Yarne...). Perhaps it would be possible to standardize when these maps are being completed. The parent question is a little trickier, but leaving them out is really lame. Another thing, I found Stahl to be better than Sully in Lunatic. Her extra speed isn't that relevant when she won't be doubling for quite a while anyway, and as early as chapter 4 she's getting ORKO'd if she doesn't proc any durability. (Although I suppose Stahl needs to pick up some speed in a hurry)

I found that the most expeditious thing was to kill him off in his join chapter. >.>

Why isn't Donnel last? I didn't try very hard but I feel like training him isn't actually feasible in anything approaching LTC. Lissa and Kellam feel low, but I suppose they were only able to be good because I played nothing approaching brisk. Still feel like they're better than Gaius' crappy offense and defense (is he this high for utility? Isn't Anna just strictly better for that purpose?) I feel like ranking the children should be possible, and comparing them to the main units is possible. Quite a few of them are better than Donnel. I assume from the low position of Lissa and Maribelle that Rescue is not being abused? Or are we just giving Anna and Libra sole monopoly on that (entirely reasonable because they can do it and live)?
