Killer Poleax

Maybe Micaiah cause of her powers or Izuka cause he's a scientific genius.

I guess that scene doesn't happen. I dunno, haven't tried that. It wouldn't make sense if it didn't happen unless someone else told Ike about his father and the medallion. If Volke wasn't recruited, it also wouldn't make sense unless he introduced himself cause it'd be like, "Who the hell is this guy? Where'd he come from?" etc. If Volke died, he probably still tells Ike but doesn't promote cause he's "severely injured".

If Ike is canonically (is that a word?) supposed to beat the Black Knight in FE9, then why is there so much luck involved in their fight and why can you escape the castle without beating him? Why is there a 5 turn limit in that fight? Why does everyone in FE10 talk about how Ike beat the BK if it's possible that he didn't? How can characters come back from the dead if they died in the previous game?

I haven't played hard mode yet. When I do, I'll probably use fortify. I forgot this was about hard mode.

I've never used fortify in the final mission. Actually, I've never used it at all. Never really had to. And I'm not holding Lehran's recruitment methods against him. I'm sorry if I came off that way.

On my last FE9 playthrough, Jill got speed screwed. She couldn't double anything without the brave axe. Oscar, Ike and Boyd were all strength screwed until they promoted. I think the game was testing me to see how much I really like these characters.

Getting Ike to BK is not hard. Having him survive the fight is pretty hard cause if Ike has <27 speed, he is dead. Getting Ike to 27 speed is the hard part. You gotta give him bexp or speedwings and hope he doesn't get speed screwed just so he can survive one fight to unlock Lehran.

That happens on all of my playthroughs and its one of the reasons why he's my fave character.

That's hilarious Thanks, it fits her personality much more now.

Are you still planning on moving Soren down a little? If Gatrie and Boyd are low for doubling problems, Soren should be too cause his speed growth is lower than both of their's and its hard to fix that with the limited bexp in hard mode. Adept isn't going to activate that often cause his speed is so low. Soren also has less durablility than most of the characters in his current tier.

Yeah, it doesn't. I'm a casual player when it comes to this game.

Cause a lot of us use more than one character quite often. I can't speak for anyone else but for me, it gets boring playing as the same character over and over again. Then again, I'm not even close to pro level and I don't intend to be anytime soon. I just play as my favourite characters and have fun with them.

A Grasping Truth, The Devoted, or Wisdom of Ages.

Mains: Luigi, Link, Yoshi, Ike, Snake Secondary: Samus, Fox, Wolf, Ness, Lucas, Zelda

It looks good from where I'm sitting. Good job.

I haven't played hard mode yet so I'm just wondering, in early part 3, how many rounds does it take Boyd to kill most enemies? If it's three, I'd move him to upper mid. If it's two, he might be okay where he is cause there aren't many other GMs that can oneround. He also starts with a killer axe so he has a chance to one round even if its a small one. I'd move Gatrie a few spaces up. He might have doubling problems but he's an awesome tank. But considering who he's under, he might be okay where he is. Why is Soren higher than Nephenee? Just wondering.

You forgot Tanith (don't worry, I don't use her much either).

Ilyana entered countless eating competitions and won lots of gold and other prizes. She donated some of her winnings to those less fortunate. Makalov never got over his gambling addiction. He was hunted by debt collectors for the rest of his life. Knowing this, Astrid dumped his ass. Jill and Haar were never in love. They were just friends who started a wyvern delivery service together. Kurthnaga allowed Goldoa to move again but the dragons were so comfortable there that they decided not to. The Greil Mercenaries traveled around Tellius and became legends for ending conflicts quickly and keeping the peace.

Why don't characters take extra damage (like poison except in this case burn) for being burned by fire magic? Why don't whispers have a +critical skill to make up for their low strength cap and weak knives? Why wasn't Largo playable in FE10? If they didn't want to make a new class for him, they could've just made him a Reaver.

It'd be Shinon by a landslide.

That's crazy. You must've used him a lot. The highest I've gotten Gatrie is level 13, maybe 14, on normal mode. My worst Gatrie moment was on my last playthrough. I wanted him to kill the boss of chapter 28 with the Brave Lance (cause he was the lowest member on my team). The boss used Bolting on Gatrie and doubled/killed him. Gatrie is so much better in RD.

Gatrie just cause of his blue armor. I'm not a big fan of generals cause of their low mobility and low speed.

It's good, I guess. I don't think much about tiers and I haven't played hard mode yet so good job coming up with a list.

How about killing Micaiah and Sothe in 3-E before they leave the map? Even if you're able to, you'll be swarmed by a lot of enemies on the enemy phase. I can see it being done on easy but what about normal mode? Maybe try killing Sigrun, Tanith and Kieran in 3-12.

My latest top 5: 5. Nephenee 4. Marcia 3. Oscar - strength screwed and speed screwed as a lance knight 2. Ike - strength screwed again 1. Boyd - strength screwed as a fighter, a little speed screwed as a fighter, defense blessed I actually maxed out Boyd's defense with a dracoshield. I'm really lucky with Boyd's speed. This is the 3rd consecutive playthrough that he's maxed speed without bexp or speedwings. It gives him a nice little speed boost in RD. I looked at some average stats and it turns out that Nephenee and Oscar weren't RNG screwed. Oscar, Boyd and Ike were a little screwed until they promoted then their stats started catching up. Ike and Boyd didn't cap strength.
