What's the class or type of unit that you never NOT use?

[ARMADS!!!]

Can be as simple as "flyer units/mounted units/anything that has a wyvern/pre promotes/avoid tank/units that can use more than one weapon type/fast axe users", as specific as "Vakyrie/Ranger/thieves/other specific class or type of unit" or even just specify a type of weapon like "I use every archer/I use everyone that can use dark magic" or a stat that you adore on your units (such as units with very high defense, or speed, or con), basically, what kind of unit you're a sucker for?(feel free to say too if you want to)

 

I'm talking in terms of gameplay though, not in terms of character.

[Jotari]

Never not use...so you mean always use? Imma gonna be that guy right now and say it before someone else does...lords.

[Etrurian emperor]

Dammit I've been ninja'd!

In any case I never go to battle without a mage. Preferably a dark mage too. That's mostly just because I like mages though. For practical reasons I always have a wyvren since they tend to combine good stats with great mobility.

I'm partial to tanky flyers, so if there's a Wyvern Rider, chances are that I'm going to use them. "Horse unit that isn't a Cav/Paladin" is another group of characters that I generally like, so it's unlikely for me to play an Elibe game without a Nomad, or PoR without Astrid (who's officially a Cav, but... close enough). Mage Knights are cool, too.

Another cheat answer would be "staff user", although for me, there is no real preference between Clerics, Priests, or Troubadours. I tend to use Saul or Ellen, because Clarine's Mag is rather low; but I almost always use Priscilla over Serra, since the latter seems just like a worse version of the former.

[Armchair General]

Can't really go wrong with an General/Sage combo,tbh.

[Heir of Dragons and Beasts]

Shifter/Stone Wielder Units (love those little guys w their little stones)

Any kind of mage  (you really can't go wrong with them)

Mounted Units (especially when there are long maps + most of the time they almost get every weapon type)

Lords (since they're required on every map)

Wyvern/Pegasus/Fliers (mobility usage)

 

[Shanty Pete's 1st Mate]

I pretty much always use at least one Cavalier, and at least one Mage. Usually multiples of each.

[Integrity]

shuffling this over to its real home byee

[Shaky Jones]

I do love me some bows. And axe fighters.

 

Warrior class? Splendid.

[Fire Emblem Fan]

I tend to try and keep my teams relatively balanced, so most classes get used in most games.

[KMT4ever]

For me the most prominent one is archers, especially if mounted. Even if they're usually considered subpar I've always been a big fan of bows. I also always squeeze in at least one mage, as well as a troubadour, but those aren't unusual choices except perhaps in Birthright where I will use Hayato no matter how mediocre he is. I would add cavaliers and wyverns, but FE7 specifically breaks that habit for me. Kent and Sain have never turned out great for me, and I cannot find it in myself to care about Lowen or Heath.

[Samu_77]

I:

Always have Peagasus Knights

Always have a Cavalier

Always have a Mage

Always have a Swordmaster

Almost always have a Hero

[Fabulously Olivier]

Always use Thieves, Heroes, Paladins, Sages, and Swordmasters.

 

Often use wyvern lords, halberdiers, warriors, great knights, bishops, and snipers.

 

Rarely use falcon knights, manaketes, non-royal beast units, and generals.

[Eltosian Kadath]

Wyverns, and mages are the two that come to mind.
