Ragnell Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Which paladin is the best for strictly gameplay purposes? So this means usefulness, availability, and overall power, NOT personality. Mine would be Oscar for his early game availability and all-around good stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar-Wing Pilot Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Oscar for the same reasons you stated. Comes earlier than all (bar Titania), and has generally good stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hasn't this been done a million times already...? I vote for Oscar since he comes so damn early, his green hair and he is so damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hasn't this been done a million times already...? I vote for Oscar since he comes so damn early, his green hair and he is so damn cool. It hasn't been done any time recently here, but there is a topic on page 1 of the RD board about this. But there are major differences between this and that, because they're two totally different games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Titania. Miles better than Oscar early on, still better midgame, maybe slightly worse endgame, but 80% similar to him in performance at that point either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Titania's probably using Silver Axes by that point. Oscar needs to progress like 4 weapon levels before he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's a tie between Oscar and Kieran for me, but, I'll vote Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd say Titania is the best Paladin. She starts out stronger than the rest and stays that way for much of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Titania is the best, but I'm going to vote for Astrid because she always pwns for me and is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestling Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I can't decide. Oscar - Better join time, more Magic, more RES, and more Luck (About .1 or .2 on some other stats, but I only listed the main leads), more levels to grow, and he has epic Ike support. Keiran - Joins pretty late, and by this time, Oscar is trained up pretty well. You're also probably training Nephenee instead of him by this time. Leads in HP and STR, Supports with three GOOD units, can pair with Oscar for some good times (Although Oscar is probably going to stick with Ike). I wish there was some horrible paladin in this game so I can make a lul choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taho Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Titania falls behind very noticeably once Oscar promotes. I've made an "Average stats" gimmick for the website (sent it to Vincent the other day) and once you have it under your nose, Titania's flaws really start to show. At final level, she has as many HP as Oscar and 2 points more Res, all the rest ranges from -2 to -4. Kieran has, among others, 6 Str and 4 Def more than Titania, Astrid is better in all stats except HP and they have the same Res. Makarov has 5 less res and 3 less Luck but kills her everywhere else. In pure stats, Makarov appears to be a good choice, and Astrid is also very polyvalent, but I'd still go with Oscar for the capped Skl and Spd and the uber support with Ike (I could let Oscar hang around when Ashnard was around, he never got hit... until Ashnard touched the Fire Emblem... ;) ) Edit: Whoops, forgot Geoffrey there. Geoffrey's a tank (25 average Def by 20th lv, which he hits easily with Paragon), but he has crappy Luck and less Skill and Speed than Oscar (but who doesn't ;) ) Edited March 19, 2009 by Taho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martelé Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Titania. She has slightly worse 20/20 averages than the others, but it's really insignificant compared to the huge leads she has early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Oscar comes just as early, has 2 bonds a earth affinity with "Ike" ("prepare yourself") which raises in rank quite fast. Edited June 10, 2009 by BrightBow-User Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 One of those in-built supports is with Rolf, who isn't exactly a stellar character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) True, but saying he has only one support would be technically wrong I guess, even if one is not realistic. Still he has 1 bond that will basically always be used. I think Oscar's durability raises over Titania's rather quick thx to the earth + earth affinity, not to mention this also supports Ike. About Titania's early game: Atlast it seems to me that attacking anything with Titania that is not a Armored Knight until at last the part of the game which allows you to get Oscar's B-Support, will result in a kill and therefore waisting valuable exp. Therefore I usally have a hard time to use Titania except as a meatshield, but I guess this is just bad strategie on my part.

If you use Titania instead of another low level unit, you have one unit less that cares about the Exp that is "wasted". You don't have to solo all the maps with her.

CrashGordon94 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Oscar, pure pwnage, and he's practically the only one I used last playthrough. This time, I'm using others, not sure how many and who they are, but others. However, I seriously doubt they'll beat Oscar. Also, I'm not rating Titania because She's the Jeigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I really like Oscar. Plus, he's always a reliable unit I can consistently kill with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Titania for being the best unit for the first half of the game and great for the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'd say Astrid. Oscar is RNG screwed constantly, or for some reason he has a 30% speed and 20% skill growth on my disc. Whatever, Astrid grows quickly, has good growths, and is a very good melee unit after promotion. Kieran is somewhat underleveled and underwhelming, and I also find him somewhat annoying. Astrid is more underleveled, but has paragon, so she shoots up. Makalov... he joins at level 10 unpromoted when everyone else is promoted. Titania is too high leveled early on, so she doesn't get used to avoid exp hogging, and later on is weaker than the paladins I'm using. Geoffrey... well... yeah.

Loki Laufeyson Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Titania is really bad compared to the rest after all is said and done. Ive done the Paladin playthrough at least twice and the only one worse than Titania is Geoffrey (yeah ill probably get flamed for that but hes just blah). Hell, even Makalov could do more damage! I voted for Oscar since hes really the best one out of the bunch (Keiran in second), its a shame he got so nerfed in RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyvernSageLord Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Oscar was the best for me, but to tell the truth, Keiran wasn't exactly too shabby either. Once I get me a second playthrough, I intend to see what other potentials that the other paladins have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
