-Cynthia- Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Zihark, better durability + supports than Stefan = win. Mia = fail. Lucia = Fail. This pretty much sums it up. I can't believe Mia has more votes than Stefan though, since he beats her in like every category, save some time he isn't around and she isn't very good.

Narga_Rocks Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Zihark, better durability + supports than Stefan = win. Mia = fail. Lucia = Fail. This pretty much sums it up. I can't believe Mia has more votes than Stefan though, since he beats her in like every category, save some time he isn't around and she isn't very good. The question is "which do you prefer"? Anyone could choose Mia simply for being able to have one unit with wrath + vantage and another with guard + vantage, or two with wrath + vantage or something. Or just two units with vantage period (Naesala doesn't count). Or because they like female units more than males. Or because they don't want someone who can be critted forever by a fair portion of enemies (talking about Stefan, not Zihark for this one). At least in this game enemy skill sucks so even 5 lck means a lot of enemies can't crit him anyway, but certainly he can get critted more frequently than Mia. If the question asked for best I would have said Zihark. Since it isn't, I chose Mia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Oh all right, if it's preference that's fine, I don't mind using Mia but she is the 3rd best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilmik11 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Zikark,but Mia is not that bad,and she have more Luck and Resitance than him,and probably more Magic,so she can use the Rune Sword for the final chapter.But Zihark come with Adept and a Killing Edge,and that's awesome!

Eltoshen Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Zihark. Stefan's luck sucks too much. Luck is an overrated stat (how often are you going to take a critical hit anyways?). Stefan's luck isn't too much of a problem. But Zihark still wins. my personal experience speaks otherwise, and personal experience means everything. Stefan just because he's an awesome character. I wouldn't mind using all the Swordmasters, although Mia is a bit weak in terms of power. Edited August 11, 2009 by Eltoshen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Zihark. Stefan's luck sucks too much. Luck is an overrated stat (how often are you going to take a critical hit anyways?). Stefan's luck isn't too much of a problem. But Zihark still wins. His evade is also poor because of his luck. Zihark probably has a 15 avoid lead overall due to luck + earth support, and overall Stefan does have problems taking the critical hits themselves considering his defense -- it's just another factor in his frailty, which hammers him as a unit.

21_21 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 To me it had to be between Stefan for his awesomeness or Zihark for just being uber in battle, but I ended up choosing Zihark instead. Also, wow, I know Mia can be a great swordmaster and all, but beating Stefan...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 ^It's a preference poll. I choose Stefan. No need to train him so other peoples have time to level up. And as for bad luck. It's luck. Luck isn't too necessary. Unless you have no luck (that's right Knoll, I'm looking at YOU!) Zihark is better, but I don't have the patience to train him.

Eltoshen Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yeah, in hard mode it took a little bit of babying before Zihark could catch up to Stefan. I believe Zihark was level 16-17 by the time I recruited Stefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Mia can either be not bad or suck completely. Theres no way for her to be awesome in this game. D: My vote goes to Zihark. Hes really great in the long run. Him and Stefan can dynamic duo really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the great haar Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 i like stefan the most, although you have to give him all the ashera icons to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze340 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Mia for me. Zihark would come in second, but if Stefan had better Luck growth, he'd be in second... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazfiel Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Mia would be my favourite, but Zihark is also one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the White Lake Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Zihark, because, plain and simple, his personality rules and his stats rule even more. Mia just stinks.

Narga_Rocks Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Zihark, because, plain and simple, his personality rules and his stats rule even more. Mia just stinks. While I have no issue with someone saying Zihark is better, though it is debateable, saying Mia stinks is ridiculous. Plus their stats are rather similar for a long time. The main difference is Adept and Earth. So if you think Zihark's stats rule even more than his personality, wouldn't Mia's stats rule too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan's Aokage Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Meh~ I prefer using Mia in Radiant Dawn, so I'll always get her to 20/20. Zihark always comes shortly after, since I end up with spare slots in PoR, and I always might try Zihark out in Radiant Dawn sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me, but Mia is really weird and hard to train, for my team. She comes in at Chap. 7, and is nowhere near strong enough STR and DEF to take on Chapter 8. She comes underleveled for my teams, and therefore she seems like a stinky unit. And besides that her personality is funky. She's great in Radiant Dawn, in my opinion BETTER than Zihark, but that doesn't help for this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's great in Radiant Dawn, in my opinion BETTER than Zihark, but that doesn't help for this poll. Of course RD doesn't help for this poll. I'm glad you think Mia's better in RD than Zihark though. Anyway, her chapter 8 issues are solved by bexp. You have bexp, may as well spend it: Boyd can use some (if you get him to ~level 10 and give him a forge he'll ORKO armors) Oscar can use some (yay for more doubling) Mia can use some (3HKO armors with armorslayer while doubling. Also gives her a level lead on Zihark in chapter 11 and then in chapter 12 when he can have bexp Mia should be a high enough level from cexp that he'll need more bexp than she initially took just to catch up in stats.) Soren's basically 4th on the priority list for bexp in that chapter. (Mia was 3rd, but you get enough they can all have some.) The next time there is a reason to put a somewhat large amount on her is chapter 12. Zihark would simply take more bexp to get to double ravens with laguzslayer than Mia would at this point. Not saying it necessarily makes her better. I'm perfectly happy seeing anyone state Mia is best, second best, or third best Swordmaster in PoR. But I don't see stinky in her when you have enough bexp to make multiple units (at the same time) better than they would be otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 They're all good, except Lucia, she's terribad, I thought I'd never see a swordmaster in any FE game fail like her other than Shanam(That impersonator dude) from FE5 and Roddlevan and Radney from FE4.

Junkhead Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I voted Stefan, because now, in my first run, both Mia & Zihark died *sigh* :( But I have to accept, if I trained Zihark he would be better than Stefan, Stefan's only bad point is his Luck. Zihark is nearly tied to having the same Str, but he wins because of supports and way better Avo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Zihark. If your especially playing with transfer data for RD, he can actually be better than Mia in RD. Zihark is the only Swordmaster to not have any failure in any stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
