CrashGordon94 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well, Astrid already promoted, and I gave her Axes, but I'm not sure about anyone else, does anyone have some advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oscar: I gave him bows since I wanted the weapon triangle. XD After I did give him bows, I was impressed with his utility. I don't know, I didn't have many range units. Kieran: I gave him swords since his hit was kind of bad. Makalov: I don't use him but he starts off with swords so he might as well take up axes for better damage and to have weapon triangle advantage against his old enemies, the lance users.

Suikofan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oscar- Bows if you're using Boyd and Rofl. Otherwise, Axes. Kieran- Bows. Axes are the only close range weapon anyone needs in this game, so you might as well let him one-shot Pegs or something. Makalov/Astrid- Axes, definitely. Axes are indisputably the best weapon type.

Tino Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oscar should get axes for offensive reasons, whether both Boyd and Rolf are in play or not. I don't know why you people care about the retarded triangle attack anyway. Kieran should obviously get lances. It's not like he really needs them as he'll use axes nearly all the time, but it may help against swordmasters and shit. Makalov should obviously get axes.

Just call me AL Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oscar should get axes for offensive reasons, whether both Boyd and Rolf are in play or not. I don't know why you people care about the retarded triangle attack anyway. Kieran should obviously get lances. It's not like he really needs them as he'll use axes nearly all the time, but it may help against swordmasters and shit. Makalov should obviously get axes. Some people think it's cool to watch, and others like the idea of using an attack with 100% crit. (I am such a person.) But anyways... Axes are my second suggestion for Oscar. (My first suggestion for him is bows.) And with everything else, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Bows for Oscar if you care about the triangle attack (and are fielding Rolf and Boyd); Axes otherwise. Bows for Kieran, Axes for Makalov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Axes -> Lances -> Axes. Oscar and Makalov should be rather obvious (screw the Triangle) and Lances are more of a suggestion. Bows are fine for Kieran otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'd give Kieran lances before bows any day. Lances give him better control of the weapon triangle. I'd give him swords for the same reason. Bows having no 1 range = bad. Oscar and makalov should both get axes. The triangle attack sucks because you're forced to play Rofl, who sucks.

Tino Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It sucks mostly because you have only one kill instead of a possible two or three. Rolf being a massive failure simply adds to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I give Oscar a bow, despite the fact that I use neither Rolf or Boyd, mainly due to the fact that I'm used to seeing him with a bow (because he's able to use bows upon promotion in RD). For Kieran, I give him either Swords or Lances, although I think lances are the better choice (because most swords are restricted to 1 range). And even though I don't use him, I'd give Makalov axes, due to their higher power (same with Astrid as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Axes for Oscar and Mak for more power. I mostly go bows for Kieran, but I wished he had a 15% crit boost instead. Oh well, it's decent hit and run 2 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Axes. Lances or Bows for Kieran... meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Axes are the best weapons in the game, so all weapon knights are best off with axes as their second weapon. Kieran already has axes, so lances or bows are probably best (I prefer bows, but whatever). The only reason to do anything is if (A) you absolutely insist on the three brothers' triangle attack, or (B) you want all of your knights to have different weapon combinations for whatever reason.

Loki Laufeyson Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Oscar: I always give him a bow. it doesnt feel right when i give him something else. I dont recall ever giving him an axe. Makalov: Axe. He uses them well. Get a C in axes and give him a killer Axe and watch things die. Kieran: Swords usually. just cuz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've only done FE9 twice, recently, but if they have a starting ranged weapon, (astrid) give axes, a weak 1 range (makalov, low str oscar) give axes, and if they have axes and lances with enough str, give bows.

Blaze340 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Well, I basically give my paladins the weapon they are weak against before promoting. Oscar gets Axes, Keiran gets swords, and Makalov would get Lances. Astrid weapons varies depending on how much of a certain weapon my units are using. Most of the time though, it's lance....

Rolanmen1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Oscar: Axes. I choosed Bow now just to see that Triangle Attack, tough i don't really recommend it, each one of them can 1RKO every enemy, plus making your units to not attack just to put them in position of doing a triangle attack is a waste. Kieran: Lances. Javelin have more accuracy than Hand Axes. Makalov: Axes. Axes are really cheap in this game + all the money you get in this game. Hand Axe FTW.

General Spoon Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Just give them axes. I'd give Kieran bows, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Okay, I've decided that I'm giving Oscar Bows, Kieran Lances and Makalov Axes. That is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
