CrashGordon94 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 This has always bothered me, FE4 fans love Lex, but they seem to hate FE4!Axes, it might just be my lack of knowledge on the subject, but this makes no sense to me, and it's kinda been bothering me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Lex has the hero axe, which is actually worth using unlike the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically. Even the swastika is bad. The Swanchika is bad? But it's a Holy Weapon that gives lotsa DEF! ANYWAY> Lex is good, as a father(neir bonuses) and as a moving tank(Brave axe+Neir minor blood+lolGeneral Growths) Edit: Elite. nuff said. There aren't other pure axe users. Except for the 4 people (Not including Lex) who use it And you can only get 3 of those 4 and 3 of them are generation 1 good, and two of them are from the second generation.

Chalis Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Depending on how you view Lex, he's okay. Neir blood means he'll be a tank, he's on a pony, he has elite, a brave weapon no one else needs/uses. He makes a fine husband to Aira/Bridgette/Lachesis/the doorstep. Drawbacks are that he does not have Pursuit as a father and that some pairings are just bad for practical uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Lex compared to other Gen 1 units is pretty good. Hero Axe is the best one. The other 2 Axe users are in the 2nd Gen and you can only have one of them. One's on foot so in the later chapters, he'll fall behind. The other is mounted and is somewhat similar to Lex but unfortunately for him, several of your other units are better so you may see him as mediocre >_>. Edited August 21, 2009 by ?!

D: All other axe users are bad? Er, not quite. Lex is the ONLY axeman in the first generation. In Gen 2, you have a choice between Johan and Johalva, both of whom can also use the Hero axe.

Rei Rei Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Well, as the Hero Axe can't be passed down IIRC, Johan/Johalva might be pretty decent with it, as they pretty much are the only ones that want and need it. Master Knight says Hi. Lex is the only one that actually wants it, though. Edited August 21, 2009 by Rei of Nanto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Lex is the ONLY axeman in the first generation. Promoted Ardan and Lachesis say hi. Not that they'd use axes anyway. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Lex is very good, sure, his growth rates for speed and skill are a little low but he has really nice bases for those, I promoted him, Ardan and Fin yesterday, they are invincible (for this chapter; 3).

Scarlet Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I can't say anything about Lex's qualities as a father considering that I haven't reached 2nd generation in FE4 yet, but as a combat unit, I find Lex to be pretty useful. Even with the hero axe there are some other dudes that surpass him in offense simply because the Hero Axe still weighs quite a lot (12 Wt) and they'll simply outspeed him, doubling a bunch of enemies (or quadrupling them with hero weapons) that Lex can not (regularly). However, Lex is incredibly tanky. His HP and DEF are downright awesome, which means that he's very good at baiting enemies into attacking you and surviving it (unless there are mages among the enemies). You can simply use him as a very reliable moving wall if all else fails. Also, with Elite he gains levels pretty damn fast, allowing him to promote pretty early and become your tankiest unit for basically all of the 1st gen.

21_21 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Lex is good. He has that skill where you can earn more than normal number of exp and he's a beast with Hero Axe. Well, almost. He's obviously only good with fighting regular bad guys instead of bosses at the last chapter you use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you either 1.5 times or twice the normal exp you get. It's been a while since I last played so my memory's a little fuzzy about it.

Dat Nick Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Good luck doubling with it. Eh, it still has insane ATK to the point where One-shotting is possible, 1-2 range, and crazy def PLUS res boosts which make any old schmuck with it invincible. I'm sure you could find some use for it, were it obtainable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could find some use for it, were it obtainable. That would depend on when you get it. C8 Armors are a definite no (58 HP + 15 DEF) C8 Lance Knights require 59 ATK C9 Wyvern Riders (lowest Wyverns) require 58 ATK. After that it's pretty rare to see 60 physical ATK kill anything in 1 shot... never mind the fact that Johan would max 57 ATK and Johalva would see max 56 ATK. +5 if you put the Power ring on them. In the end, it's basically just making the user a tank that will leave several enemies alive for others to kill. Edited August 22, 2009 by ?!

Only if coupled with Nihil and high bases. Otherwise... well, look at the Swanthika users in vanilla. They are jokes.
