A2ZOMG (Wolt) vs Red Fox of Fire (Lilina)

[A2ZOMG]

I'm opening unless there's objections.

Tis one of those debates we agreed on before the data crash btw.

[A2ZOMG]

Short and simple...it comes down to join time.

Two incredibly sucky characters with bad base stats and just fail in general. Wolt/Walt/wtfballs is simply more useful since he is around longer and becomes less fail sooner.

Now, the key thing about using these two units is they don't take counters, and they join at level 1. However Wolt joins on chapter 1, and Lilina on chapter 8. On chapter 1, there are several fighters that Marcus only barely does not oneround. The safest way to finish them off is by having Wolt stand behind Marcus and pick them off with his arrows. Thanks to this, Wolt has a pretty easy source of earlygame EXP. Also, he is by far one of the better units for supporting Marcus thanks to the fact he doesn't get in the way with whatever Marcus does. Double Ice support is great for both. Marcus wants it to become even more tanky and to improve his hit whenever he uses a less accurate weapon. Wolt's fail base stats become significantly less fail with that extra defense and hit. This boost to his accuracy and the fact he ignores the weapon triangle generally makes him reliable at being able to hit whatever needs to be hit, which is a major issue in this game, and since he doesn't get in the way of your other units, any extra damage he does to enemies is always appreciated by your other units.

Wolt also is a decent C support for Roy, since he's available right from the start. Both want the hit and evade bonus definitely. The half defense bonus is also useful when Roy gets a C with Lance.

You could say something about Wolt not being able to counterattack, but this matters little. When you send your melee units out to kill a dude, they also get in the way of that dude's advance towards your other units who are behind them. This for the most part is more than enough to eliminate Wolt's "downfall" as an archer.

And since we're using Wolt, let's also note that he makes it MUCH easier to take down those Wyverns on chapter 7. They rape pretty much everyone that's not named Marcus, Zealot, or Lot, but Wolt gets to rape them back harder than anyone else if he lands a hit from a Steel Bow. Thanks to his supports with Roy and Marcus, this should happen fairly easily.

So by the time Lilina joins, Wolt actually has some w1n going for him, while Lilina has none at all. Oh and lol at using Lilina, since she's even more frail than Wolt since stuff actually can 1hit her, while Wolt can take actually a few hits thanks to having that support with Marcus.

tl;dr Wolt and Lilina don't take counters, Wolt joins earlier, supports Marcus, and can actually help you on chapter 7, so therefore he's got a lot more uses.
