Heipmaster Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 A late reply into the topic, but I have always picked troubadours over clerics/healers if I had a choice between the two. That horse is so darn handy to have. Not only can you heal, but you can rescue/drop, and having that can be a lifesaver. I think on most GBA FE7 runs/fan-hack runs I have had, I have almost always picked Priscilla over Serra. Even though in the end I may bench her for better units since on most hacks where the two are available, there are usually a select few characters that will shine out and be too awesome not to use. Actually, now that I think back, I don't think I have ever really used Serra outside of Lyn mode in vanilla FE7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call me AL Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Yeah, a lot of the people here DO have poor taste in healers. Crash, everyone has been giving every single reason as to why Priscilla > Serra while all you're doing is deciding not to read the said reasons. The key reasons being that they have so very much similar averages all around that the only differences are support lists and support speed (which I'm not gonna count because they're supports), different offensive magic types upon promotion, and the fact that Priscilla has a horse, which allows her to do several things Serra can't do such as rescuing, keeping up with the group, and using leftover movement to at least try to get out of harm's way if she is in harm's way. The fact that people have been giving all these reasons while you continue to ignore every single reason given, is just baffling if you ask me.

Quintessence Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I drafted Serra in my last FE7 draft and: 1) Promoted her at level 12 in CoD. 2) Gave her Afa Drop and she still sucked. 3) Did chip damage and needed care. 4) Got to lv. 16 in Final, and she still sucked.

Junkhead Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Yeah, a lot of the people here DO have poor taste in healers. Personally, I prefer Serra. I know Priscilla is better, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 12 in CoD? Sounds like you weren't using Serra nearly as often as you could have; it's easy to get her to level 6 by the end of chapter 10, and to level 12 by chapter 20 or so. Serra and Priscilla are both at their most effective if you let them level up to 20 before promoting them, and if you don't want to do that (or at the very least get them up to level 15), you might be better off not promoting them at all. (Lucius, Canas, Nino, or even Erk could use the extra Guiding Ring.) Edited October 8, 2011 by Paper Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon151 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 PEMN, man. Not the reason why Priscilla>Serra. Actually, that kind of is the reason why Priscilla > Serra, because Priscilla's level situation would be equally as bad but she has the horse to make up for it.

Quintessence Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 PEMN, man. Not the reason why Priscilla>Serra. Besides bases, movement, more chance of rescuing/dropping due to her useful movement, anima magic weights less than light magic. Serra has at least a -1 in her AS (lolightning), and if you want to give her a body ring or two, you could also give it to Prissy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Serra, because she's not vulnerable to Halberds, Longswords, and Horseslayers! I prefer Priscilla. She does everything she needs to, and has the advantage of being able to rescue-drop or simply be used as a carrier as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Jam Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Be honest; if you promoted Priscilla at level 12, she would probably suck too. I still stand by my claim that it's best to get them to level 15 at the very least before promoting them, or not promote them at all. Not that there's anything wrong with not promoting them at all, because you have no shortage of magic users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Suck at combat, probably, but fuck using them for combat anyway. They're too busy staffspamming in any given Lumi run to ever see combat. Prissy, anyway. CBF to use Serra because I'd rather just use Lucius. Can't stand pink-haired females unless they are good at fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 If promoted at a reasonable time and level, Priscilla and Serra should be very good combat units. And by that time staff experience is cut in half and they have a combat experience bonus, so why wouldn't you have them fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Because the only other physic guy is Pent, plus Prissy is my only healer until Lucius promotes (always on the desert chapter), so who else will do the healing? IDK, she doesn't ever get enough exp for me to promote at said reasonable time and level. Sure, I'll let her hit something if she has nothing better to do, but if there's healing to be done, she be healing.
