Dr. Tarrasque Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Yes. Midir wouldn't have anything better than Jamka that i'd consider worthwhile in such a case. Edited September 9, 2011 by Sirius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The title is misleading. The title should be "If Jamka had Puruit as a citizen skill would you pair him with Aideen instead of Midir?" Granted I know what you meant and said that I would pair her with Aideen (Now Midir or Jamka for Aideen is not even close), but still.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) That's pretty much what he implied with the use of the word "innate" so it's not that misleading (if it is at all). Edited September 9, 2011 by Sirius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 The only misleading part I can kind of see is where it says "instead of Midir", which if read wrong can imply Jamka X Midir. ...hawt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Of course. Jamka offers Continue and higher strength/HP/luck in comparison to Midir's higher speed/skill (which are negated by the luck lead on Lester anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Uh, yeah. This one's a no-brainer for me. Hell, even Beowulf would be preferable to Midir if not for the issue of bow inheritance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Starwind Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Heck yeah I would. I'm playing the Shin patch right now and in that pursuit is a citizen skill for Jamka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well, duh. If Pursuit wasn't a class skill for Archers and Jamka could pass it down to Midir, Midir would lose the one main advantage he has as a father to Lester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I already found JamkaLester to be pretty good, although I prefer MidirLester (... theoretically, having only reached Gen 2 once) so... yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hell yeah! Also, in a future playthrough where the Pursuit Ring is in less demand, I'll try JamkaXAdean. The only misleading part I can kind of see is where it says "instead of Midir", which if read wrong can imply Jamka X Midir. ...hawt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Duh. Besides all that has been mentioned, this allows Midir to contribute to the mounted rush squad while Jamka chills with the 5-6 move stragglers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte2222 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes. Midir wouldn't have anything better than Jamka that i'd consider worthwhile in such a case. This. Jamuka's stats are just better; I've found both Midir and Midir!Lester to be a bit mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) It really all depends on what I'm planning. It would make Jamuka!Lester better than Midayle!Lester. But at the same time, it would also make other opportunities in the forms of Bridget (a pairing with whom makes Faval a Jamuka clone with Ichival access as it is, but the Pursuit would be more for Patty's benefit), Lachesis, and Tiltyu, open for Jamuka.

Shin Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It would make Jamka a little more flexible in other pairings. A Jamka!Delmud could be pretty interesting. Although his skill would be horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Allow me to show you my last Midir!Lester. If I knew that's what he was gonna get, I would've paired Aideen with Jamka, especially if he had Pursuit as a citizen skill. My Jamka!Faval had more skill at that level. Eh, at least he's got defense. Edited September 11, 2011 by Oreo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as other stats go, the +4 in Defense is nice, and you did cap Speed.And where's the Brave Bow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, he had less skill (and ofc pretty much less in everything else but defense) than my Jamka!Faval, so I had given all the other bows to Faval because he had shown far more usefulness than him. If I had known Midir would give me skill as bad as that, I would've paired Aideen with Jamka for more HP and Strength. That's all.

Oreo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Considering it's possible to get multiple skill rings in this game, I'm sure one bad stat isn't going to ruin him as a unit. I've done the pairing before, and he wasn't held back significantly at all compared to my other units; in fact, he was one of the first to promote. (and no, I don't recall giving him the pursuit ring either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, because Lester didn't grow a lot of skill, you want him to have an even lower skill growth? And as for the "lower in everything except defense" part, maybe it's because Snipers have better bases and caps than Arch Knights do in this game? And another thing, shouldn't Faval have Ichival by that point? I mean giving Faval all the bows you have on hand except for an Iron Bow and a Killer Bow just seems counter-intuitive to me.

Oreo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I guess you could say that. Faval's caps are better, and he does have a holy weapon, so that really does make him more useful than Lester in general. I gave the hero bow to him because I knew Faval would make better use out of it than Lester; he activated charge more than enough with the Killer Bow, and I trusted the 100hit on Killer Bow with his 12 skill or so at the time of the chapter starting. Not to mention Faval hadn't been activating charge at all. Lester mainly stayed behind and only killed a few sages the whole final chapter anyway, and activated charge when needed. Chances are I wasn't gonna be using Lester more than Faval in the whole chapter anyway, so I felt I might as well put the bow on a unit that'll be in the front lines.

Starlette Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Its a bit of a no brainer, and I don't see the bad Skill ruining Lester if you got Skill Rings to spare. Really the lack of Pursuit is the only reason I avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
