Robert Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) I am curious to know. I usually use Sain w/ slim lance. Edited December 16, 2008 by MaraeSceptre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) I use Sain more out of favoritism although I'm pretty tempted to say Sain's better because his Speed is pretty good and his Strength goes up like a motherfucker. Kent's more balanced but... I still prefer Sain. (Also I'm more biased now because on a recent playthrough sain maxed Speed/Strength before promotion <3 Nothing to do with why I believe Sain > Kent but I love Sain for it).

Wisper Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sain is all offense, Kent is more balanced. I think Sain is slightly better because of his higher strength and decent speed, but Kent is awesome too. I always raise both. Aside from Oswin, the two don't really hold much competition for the Knight's Crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 I give Sain a slim lance to balance him out and he can still one turn most units or OHKO them as well as hitting and doubling. Kent is slightly weak and unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I use the both of them, but I lean slightly toward Kent. Sain has overkill strength growth, but Kent can double a little earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Both for being Paladin's, but Sain the most. Edited December 17, 2008 by Namie Amuro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Out of the two, I pick Sain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Wozzeck Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I usually lean towards Kent, as Sain doesn't exactly double a whole lot later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Kent is better due to DAing more. Though Lowen is better than both. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) "Though Lowen is better than both" I wasnt playing the rom, but last time I used lowen (estimate) 20/20 hp- high forties-46 str-16 skl-18 spd-16 luck-20 something def-24 res-4 (that sucks) Edited December 17, 2008 by MaraeSceptre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) That's about average for him. It's more or less on par with enemy units; not like combat is a hard rank to increase. Also Kent isn't DAing for THAT much longer and both pretty much 2HKO anyway during the time Kent's DAing (and Sain isn't). They have like 5% difference in their speed growths so it's not particularly significant... even if their base speeds are one or two points apart.

But Lowen has excellent supports. <3 Regardless, Kent is doubling more enemies. He's actually one-rounding Mercenaries, while Sain is two-rounding. Also, Kent has a faster Fiora support, so his offense will be slightly higher until SainxFiora B catches up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Kent is probably better early on since he can double earlier. Once Sain can double about as reliably, he wins. His low skill isn't much of a problem when you can use all 3 weapon types, and with such high strength, Iron is usually enough. Then again, they're great together, so use them both.

Saaji Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Personality wise definitely Sain... as for usefulness its a coin toss honestly. What's kind of funny is that these two best friends and comrades could end up in a love triangle fighting for Fiora's heart XD I dunno why but that just seems funny right now.

(Besides, Fiora is leaning more towards Kent anyways.)To the topic on hand: It depends on the playthrough, but I'm usually leaning more towards Sain. For his personality, and his overall enemy screwage. Edited December 17, 2008 by Staraptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sain, because he kicks ass, loves the laides and doesn't afraid of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sain because my Kent's usually have trouble killing anything while Sain usually one-rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sain, because his Str advantage is bigger than Kent's advantage anywhere else including Spd. And because a B with Serra > a B with Lyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fia Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nah... Florina is annoying and stupid. Sain X Farina would be more interesting. Sain: Good morning, oh beauteous Farina. You look so lovely today; do you care to join me for a morning tea? Farina: 10,000 G and I’ll consider the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangosan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sain. He doesn't double as much as Kent, but with his insane strength, he is still one-rounding them XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raito Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I tend to lean towards Kent more, because of his balanced stats. Though in reality, I don't have much of a preference between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Raven Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) But Lowen has excellent supports. <3Slow support with Rebecca and Eliwood and not even guaranteed to be next to them that much. I don't think amazing defense compensates for his mediocre offense.Regardless, Kent is doubling more enemies. He's actually one-rounding Mercenaries, while Sain is two-rounding.Wrong. Kent isn't doubling Mercs earlier than Sain if at all; by the time there are Mercs they're both still two rounding them because neither are fast enough to take them on in one round.Also, Kent has a faster Fiora support, so his offense will be slightly higher until SainxFiora B catches up.Yeah Sain's supports do kinda blow. I think that Fiora's the only relevant support here, but it's not even giving Kent that great a boost and Fiora needs a couple chapters before they can be on the front with Kent/Sain. Her support doesn't apply that much until Chapter 20 or something.Kent's speed isn't even that much higher. 1 higher base with 5% more growth.
