uzy5o Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 What should I choose for the second weapons of each of the cavaliers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Axes for Oscar, Astrid, and Makalov, your choice for Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-dragon Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Depends on your stats. With high str but low hit swords are good. With high hit but low str axes are good. When balanced lances are good. For Oscar, if also using boyd and rolf, choose bows for triangle attack. I think that sums it up.

Tino Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Epic lolz @ Triangle Attack. Axes for Kieran, Astrid and Makalov, Lances for Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Oscar really doesn't need the triangle attack, so don't choose bows, unless you want to try out the triangle attack for some reason. i would go with axes for all paladins, and Kieran with Lance. if you want a "nomad trooper" unit, you could give Astrid swords, but meh, i would rather have her use axes.

uzy5o Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 So the general concensus is axes? What makes them that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So the general concensus is axes? What makes them that good? They're stronger than other weapons. That's basically it as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 So the general concensus is axes? What makes them that good? Best MT and enemies aren't dodging much (If I'm correct, most use lances). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Enemies have crappy avo and you have more than enough hit to make do, especially with the lack of avoid-boosting terrain and the 2-RN system. If you need more accuracy you can always switch to a more accurate weapon for each of them. Plus, you'll want Hand Axes for 1~2 range.

luigi bros Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This is what I did for the cavaliers I used: Oscar:Swords Astrid:Axes Yeah I only used two. For the ones I didn't use I would think: Kieran:Swords Makalov:Lances Did I forget someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Also the Paladins have high enough skill so axes shouldn't wear their accuracy down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swordsalmon Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You're forgetting Oscar with Bows.Unless you're not triangle-attacking. The triangle attack is near completely useless. Besides having to field an utterly terrible character, Oscar and Boyd have to move in a different formation just to kill one enemy. It's more beneficial to give Oscar Axes and have he and Boyd take out an enemy a round each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 AXE IS THE ONLY WEAPON TYPE NOT STUCK WITH IRON AT E. I'm surprised this got no mention. That and they're stronger and cheaper than other weapons, and weight isn't an issue for a promoted unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Steel Axe gives twice the WEXP of Iron too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Nick Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 and weight isn't an issue for a promoted unit. same with hit And lance is the dominant weapon type, which only further helps axes case. Not to mention Oscar really needs that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Go for Axe. It gives more Weapon Triangle Advantages than any other weapons in the game. Edited February 7, 2009 by Namie Amuro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon151 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 AXE IS THE ONLY WEAPON TYPE NOT STUCK WITH IRON AT E. I'm surprised this got no mention. Javelin is E lance. What you said is true for steel, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze340 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I usually give my cavaliers weapons equaling their weakness from the standard weapons they use. Oscar, for example, gets axes. And Keiran would get swords. I would usually give Astrid Axes to use though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I should mention that I usually find Bows the best for Kieran. Axes are good enough that Lances aren't really necessary in most cases and Bows gives him a good ranged option. That's just my opinion though.

CT075 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I give Oscar Bows, since I find that if you happen to be in formation (...) then you can do the Triangle critical. For the other characters, I give Mak & Kieran (the RD Gold Knights w/o Titania) the other's weapon (i.e. Mak gets Axes and vice versa), and Astrid gets Axes.

Dat Nick Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 then you can do the Triangle critical. But what good is it when Oscar with a Steel Axe doubling is going to kill the enemy anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
