Kriemhild Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Indeed, the swamp's more annoying than actually difficult. Also, I'd say what the player does in YU is generally more important than what the player does in FE since you only get one attack per turn in YU and in FE, I generally find Enemy Phase to be where the bulk of the action happens. Hmm, I never realized that before, but it's perfectly true, how the enemy gets many more opportunities to get the first strike in FE simply because there are more of them. Still though, YU enemies sometimes have multiple squads, which is annoying. Still though, aside from bows, there generally isn't any special advantage in being the one to strike first.

Well, it is notable that even without the bonus hunters and assassins get from fighting at day and night, respectively, they can perform well when the opponent can't counterattack. Also, what's up with longbows being subpar in most FE games (Radiant Dawn in particular takes this to another level)?

On the other hand, the extra damage they get from a Charge when on the defense makes the ENEMY PHASE much tougher for them. Well, I guess they felt that the extra range in Longbows was too good, so they made it way too heavy. Actually, if it were stronger and lighter, it would probably be glorified to be as amazing as Brave weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the problem in most FEs is that they're just too weak. Path of Radiance limited it to archers and snipers, which doesn't help considering that both of the archers you get suck pretty badly, and Radiant Dawn makes it even worse by adding an accuracy penalty for attacking at 3 range (and consider that longbows have crappy accuracy to begin with)... It doesn't help that they're essentially obsolete once you promote a sniper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, Longbows are worthless when you have a Marksmen. I heard that they don't get the accuracy cut like other bows do, but I doubt they'd be useful regardless.

Yeah, bow knights can't use longbows or the Double Bow in PoR - not that it matters since the aforementioned bows suck pretty badly. As for longbows in RD, it's true that a marksman pretty much obsoletes them. Also, attacking from 3 range in RD gets a -30 accuracy penalty.
