Best/Worst in the Series: Round 40

[NinjaMonkey]

Since General Spoon isn't doing these anymore I'd thought I'd revive them...

Anyway. 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. You may nominate for idea that have already been nominated.

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.

FUCKING FINALLY!!!11ONE!one!!!11

I thought these were over with...

Best: Miledy (FE6)

Worst: Zeiss (FE6)

[Ϲharlie]

Best: Palla (Book 2). If she doesn't count, then Miledy from FE6.

Worst: Eda from FE5. She joins pretty late in the game as a level 5 dragon rider. She doesn't even have anything to make up for it, either. No skills, no PCC, no awesome personal weapons... And it doesn't help that dragon units take a pretty big hit to their stats when they dismount.

[Mousefire]

Best: Altenna

Worst: Eda

[Krad]

Best: Haar (FE 10)

Worst: Eda or Zeiss... I'll go with Eda.

[AstraLunaSol]

Best: Altenna

Worst: Eda

This pretty much summarizes my vote.

[BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER]

Best: Dean

Worst: Eda

[El Rey León]

Best: RD!Haar

Worst: Heath.

[Narga_Rocks]

best: a toss-up between FE10 Haar and FE6 Miledy. They are both really good. It's my opinion that she's better than anyone else while she's around (after a couple of chapters) and Haar v Ike is more of a toss-up.

Miledy.

Worst: Eda. No move stars, 1 PCC, lowest move growth, etc etc. No redeeming qualities and you already have Karin and Dean. I suppose an extra flier has some use in one of the coming chapters, but of the ones I've played she's the worst. Even worse than Zeis. At least she comes with B lances, though, to his D.

[dondon151]

Best is FE10 Haar; worst is FEDS Est. If you get her there in the first place.

Edited May 20, 2010 by dondon151

[Aquilae]

Best: FE6 Miledy

Worst: FEDS Est

Eda and Zeiss (from FE5 and FE6 respectively) retain their rescuing capabilities and Zeiss can be decent if you're willing to invest the EXP into him. FEDS Est is screwed because of the lack of Rescue / Drop which makes her near-useless.

[Parrhesia]

Back again~

BEST Miledy

WORST Zeiss

[Jaybee]

Best: FE10 Haar

Worst: FE11 Est.

!!!

I was going to revive these myself if nobody else did lol

Best: Cormag. He doesn't have Haar's only weakness. HAW.

Worst: Vaida because she scares me and honestly I can't think of any *bad* Dracoknights particularly.

[Narga_Rocks]

Best: FE6 Miledy

Worst: FEDS Est

Eda and Zeiss (from FE5 and FE6 respectively) retain their rescuing capabilities and Zeiss can be decent if you're willing to invest the EXP into him. FEDS Est is screwed because of the lack of Rescue / Drop which makes her near-useless.

Well, I've never played feds but I'll believe you about that. However, with the speed at which you go through fe6, is it even possible to raise Zeiss? I mean, at least he has decent str, but with D lances he's kinda stuck with iron for a while unless you want him to have 85 base hit with the steel lance when enemies are pulling 30 to 45 avo. It's mostly their ability to rescue that would perhaps convince me they aren't the worst.

Best: Altenna (I actually like her... + Personal HW? Yesplease)

Worst: FEDS Est
