General Spoon Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Please vote for what YOU think is the best/worst in the series for this round. The round will last for about a week or so, after which I will tally the votes, and will add the top three to a list in the opening post of the next topic. It would be nice if you nominate ideas for when I'm out of them. I'll keep track of the nominations. Please nominate only once a round. Please remember to nominate. Also, if your vote is not for one person/thing/etc, it will be thrown out. Your vote will also be thrown out if the FE game it is from is not stated if it is needed. This is mainly to avoid confusion. If you excessively complain about the results of previous rounds, you will not be allowed to vote in these topics for a period of time that will be determined later. A list will be kept of those who will not be allowed to vote, and how many rounds until they can vote again.

This thing is fucking ridiculous. Worst: The Berserk Staff. I find this staff much to situational to be of use, but that's just me.

Fayt Zelpher Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Best: FE9 Fortify. 8 uses means it's far better than the FE10 one (5 uses) or the Ashera staff. Plus, you can steal one from the rexaura bishop in the last chapter (at least on NM you can). Worst: well, in FE 9 and 10 (the only ones I've played) there is no really bad staff. I'll abstain here. After seeing everyone else's vote and going to read what the again staff does, I am changing my vote to that.

Shadow Mir Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) Best: Again staff. Seeing what it does... Worst: Silence. It's only useful against magic users, and... Guess what? Most magic users have high resistance, which means it's not even that useful on the enemies it's meant to be used on. (Not that I believe Matrona's much better...)

Dr. Tarrasque Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Best: Again Staff. Imagine it on a book 2 remake on DS where the repair staff can fix it... holy fuck. Worst: Silence staff in FE6. If invalid, Charm Staff. If Invalid again Valkyrie. The enemies you're going to silence are obviously those with Magic, more likely the enemy staff users. But here's the thing: they typically have decent/high RES and every magic user you get not named Lilina is bound to see low success rate due to their MAG, prime examples being Clarine and Saul. Mages may be easier to silence but uh, really? Berserk is at least fun to mess with and useful in FE5.

Just call me AL Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Best: I haven't played FE3, but this "Again" staff is making me hope even more for a DS remake of part 2 of it. Worst: Berserk. Too situational to use effectively, has the chance of backfiring if you're using it, and can turn one of your own allies against you. Useful for the enemy and useless for you is NOT what you want. Edited January 23, 2010 by LittleAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd like to nominate: Best/Worst healer (defined as any character who will primarily be used for healing). Bishops and Valkyries in particular, but possibly including such things as herons and Micaiah. It sounds more like you're talking about support characters - thieves, dancers/herons, healers, and maybe even Dragons (for their Tides). Best staff: Heal. I can't think of a staff I've used more, or has been more helpful. Worst staff: Umm, most of them are pretty useful. Probably Silence though - it's a less heplful status effect than Sleep because it only affects magic, and ironically, the magic users you want to use it on have high resistance as well, so it probably won't even hit!

Original Alear Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Best: Psychic. (I know again is probably the"right" answer, but I feel like psychic deserves credit for its ubiquity and high number of uses - a really useful staff for very large parts of most fire emblem games.) Worst: Unlock. Not only is it not very useful, it doesn't give much EXP. Edited January 23, 2010 by SeverIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
