Raven Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So yeah, my Raven here is in a situation where he has an A with both sword and axe mastery levels, as you see here: This basically comes down to whether Raven will end up using the Regal Blade or the Basilikos... Regal Blade has a weight value of 9, while Basilikos is 13. Raven's constitution is 9, so I'm personally leaning towards an S in sword level, but other opinions, I'd like to see.

Fireman Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Do you have any mainly axe users in your party besides Raven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Do you have more sword users or axe users? Take the one you need more of It's just a weapon you'll use for less than ten minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 *looks* Main axe users I have would be Dart and Hector. Sword users would be Eliwood, Lyn and Guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I really don't think it makes a difference. I hardly use the S-ranked weapons. I'd go with axe because it's mildly unusual to get it up to par with swords so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Personally, I'd make him go for S Rank Sword, Regal Blade. Giving him a S Rank Axe as well as equip him with Axe would reduce what little speed average he has. Which is still bad IMO. Raven just have the right 9 Con to even carry Regal Blade since it just weighs enough for him, simply put it won't take away him fair amount of speed since Regal Blade weighs is 9. Plus, Swords>Axe due to weapon triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Everyone is making very good points, making it even harder to choose, heh... The reason the axe level is so high is because I've been using save states along with the Devil axe. Currently, his stats look like this: Lv7 HP 49 Str 19 Skill 24 Spd 22 Luck 12 Def 14 Res 6 I can give the Body ring to him I found in Desert last chapter, but I was saving it for Nino. Eugh, I hate decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You could give the Body Ring to him, I don't see why not. But you could have giving it to someone who REALLY needs it such as Lyn or Guy for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshineYON Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 there really is no point using the s ranked weapons in the last chapter anyway. Conserve them for funds. As for which s rank to shoot for, id say sword. Even though axe>swords, I'm pretty sure you have better axe users out there with better con. Axes for raven are more of a secondary weapon choice, stick with swords imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I don't really think Raven was even meant to carry a Axe due to his low Con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Go for the Regal Blade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'd go with swords personally, because there are axe users who are more suited to the s-rank axe than raven is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Considering everything, I'd go for swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Swords are for retards.

Florete Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Looks like Hika and I are alone. Another reason I would think axes is because there are already enough sword users. Lyn, Eliwood, Hector (all 3 lords?), Guy, Karel, Harken, Rath, Peggy sisters, Heath and Vaida. Plus I think Raven just looks cooler wielding an axe.....

Raven Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 That is exactly what I thought. My only decent axe-user is Hector and Oswin (who have an A support, which is awesome). Dart has good speed and strength and an A support with my awesome Rebecca, but the rest of his stats suck. 9 skill by the time he changed to Berserker class at lv20 Pirate? Never happened to me before, get out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uguu Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 My reasoning was simple enough: Swords are for babies, Axes are for totally awesome people. Raven is totally awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to get it at all. Raven is clearly not fit to use any Axe at all because: 1: Raven has a Con of 9. With that, he can't even carry a single Iron Axe without speed loss. Which is bad considering how much speed Raven average out at Lv. 20/20. 2: Not only that, all Axe weapons have crappy accuracy when comparing to Swords by ranks. Why would you want to give him Axe considering its very sturdy to Raven's league when he's better off carrying decent Swords such as Regal Blade.
