Ansem Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) I can see the results already I use both and i have to say they cap the same One just caps the other stat before the other one does If you dont know what i am talking about you are in the wrong topic I use both Edited February 25, 2010 by Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Lance has a better start since he doubles earlier, but Alan has a better finish due to a slightly higher damage output. Starting is tougher than finishing so Lance it is. Edited February 25, 2010 by BsTrD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krad Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Lance. He starts double attacking earlier (Higher base and growth). Even though for the first few maps Alan is a bit better than Lance because neither double and Alan does slightly more damage. Caps aren't everything. Say I have a character that has every stat at 10 and his caps are 30. And I also have another character that has every stat at 5 and his cap is 5 for everything. The second one must be better because he has every stat capped, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Jar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 He was just saying that they cap the same stats eventually :\ They're the same class so they have the same stat caps anyway. I like Alan more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Lance since he's better in the earlygame where it's tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deliriyum Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 They're both great in their own aspects. Personally, I prefer Lance because actually doubling enemies is nice, you get more ORKOs despite his somewhat low strength. Alan may be doubling, but not many enemies. If they are supported then you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Lance is slightly better, but they're the two best units in the game. I use them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Treck. Decent bases and better Def. Both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Alan. I have, after all, used him the most (2/2 as opposed to 1/2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inui Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm hardcore. I don't use either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Use them both with Roy. If I had to choose one, probably Lance due to his massive Spd (though he likes to get screwed Str-wise on me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekkah Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Using them together makes them three times as useful, so yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I don't think Alan & Lance have much of a Spd difference on HM. Fighters have around 7 AS at lvl 1 IIRC, he'snot doubling and Alan isn't getting doubled either. Alan does more damage, Lance does -2 and doesn't double unless he gains a bit more Spd.

luigi bros Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Lance. I've used both but Alan was seriously messed up in Speed, Skill, and Strength, and Lance was beating him in everything else. I also like Speed and Accuracy over Strength anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I use both, but I have a preference for Alan as I generally favor STR over SPD. With the exception of my love for swordmasters but Rugter crits like a madman. So that's that. My Lance got severely STR screwed, though. Sometimes when Alan was doing OHKO damage Lance can't even OTKO at the same level. But then again, my Alan also got STR blessed. So disregard that. Either way. I like Paladins, so having two isn't exactly an issue. Having them go off and kill Dracoknights with their A support is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquilae Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'd use both of course, but if I only could choose one I'd use Lance. His higher speed lets him double enemies earlier than Alan which gives him better performance early - midgame. They're both smashing stuff in lategame, I can't imagine the difference to be that significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Lance has better speed but Alan has better strength. Tough call but ive been using Lance more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitus Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 speed is more broken than str, so obv since they're basically equal in everything else, lance > alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkhead Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 speed is more broken than str, so obv since they're basically equal in everything else, lance > alan The stat itself can't be broken, Spd works for Avo & a bit of offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narga_Rocks Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The stat itself can't be broken, Spd works for Avo & a bit of offense. He's basically talking about the vast difference between doubling and not doubling that makes up for multiple different issues some characters may otherwise have. It's also what makes Pursuit so amazing/important in fe4. "A bit of offense" is quite the understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
