Narga_Rocks Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Nah, Levin!Arthur helps in many spots where Sety hasn't even been recruited yet. Like facing Blume, for one thing. Plus, Arthur has more mobility on promotion, so ranked I would say Arthur's a bit better. Can't you just have Julia silence Blume for 10000? Poor guy has a whole 16 res. I suppose she needs to be level 7, but still. Arthur won't even be on a horse yet so it's not like he'll out-move her. Then Shanon can attack with Balmunk and Pursuit if you are worried about turncount. Even your other units can get in on the action if they can survive his Silver Blade. Julia can silence earlier than Arthur can attack given 10 range vs. 1-2 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTroll Maxim Lapierre Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I think Levin wins either way. Ranked or unranked. You're going to be flying through chapters with mounted units throughout most of the second gen--specifically, after chapter 7-- so quickly that the hax foot soldiers(Aira's kids and Sety|Holsety) won't even do battle with an enemy and you also have some units to baby a bit(Patty). Not only that, Arthur has bad move and it's best if he get most of his experience in chapters 6 and 7 anyway so he doesn't slow you down later on. In ranked runs, the TEAM's ability to get Celice to seize is more important than having the most powerful unit you can get with Holsety since that unit, Sety, is getting to level 30 no matter what. Nah, Levin!Arthur helps in many spots where Sety hasn't even been recruited yet. Like facing Blume, for one thing.

SaraJaye Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Claude/Fury gives me Sety the Healing God and Fee the long-range Libro staff user who can deflect nasty status staves. But Noish and Levin are tied in a VERY close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Can't you just have Julia silence Blume for 10000? Unlike Ishtar, Blume is too much of a coward to get off his throne, so you can't status him. But that's cool, Aless will just come to him instead.

I've silenced multiple enemies on castles, like Hilda in chapter 10. I didn't feel like letting her use her Bolganone on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game tells you to do it with your freshly recruited Diadora :/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I often have Claude!Sety silence/sleep some bosses on thrones and the only one I haven't been able to do that against is Julius due to his 35 RES. Perhaps Mekkah was thinking of FE5's Throne terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Mekkah was thinking of FE5's Throne terrain. I love doing that to bosses. It's funny. I was going to sleep the * Axe user in chapter 11, but then never did. Forgot I guess. I think I may have slept the one in chapter 5, but not sure. Also, you can't sleep/silence Alvis, either. Stupid Falaflame and it's +10 res while he has 30 res already.

Icon of Sin Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You guys both know you can use the sleep/berserk sword on those units with over 30 Resistance without any problems, no? Granted you have to actually hit with them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted you have to actually hit with them, though. I don't really want to abuse an obvious glitch. I guess I could, of course, choose to do that and with +50 from charisma + Celice's stars + lover bonus a unit like Lakche/Shanon with 30 skill could have a reasonable chance of hitting. +60 if you have Laylea, for 120 before weapon hit rather than 110. But it just feels better to beat Alvis and Yurius (and eventually Ishtar) without using the result of bad programming. Besides, it isn't as if Alvis is all that hard to beat safely. He doesn't even have continue or critical or charge. And Ishtar can be silenced honestly rather than through a glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
