Radiant Dragon Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Still stands that FE8 is full of enough good high move units In addition, the presence of many 8 move units makes Tethys better, not worse, because it allows you to quickly carry her to the front lines.

deuxhero Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 She has eight move? Fine, then I'll change it to Elphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 *sighs* Tethys is a five-move dancer in a game full of eight-move units that are more than capable of rescue-dropping her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Best: Lalum. I danced a lot in this game and she made a big difference. Worst: FE12 Feena. You can't rescue her and she falls behind after 3 turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Tethys to worst wat. Are you guys forgetting Nils only has LM (Which he's totally uneeded for) and Endgame at FE7? Is that worst than Tethys, who's at least available for half of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewjeo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Tethys to worst wat. Are you guys forgetting Nils only has LM (Which he's totally uneeded for) and Endgame at FE7? Is that worst than Tethys, who's at least available for half of the game? I've always considered Nils/Ninian the same unit, myself. Care to enlighten me on how Tethys can be ferried particularly effectively? I mean, she can't move the turn you drop her, so she's getting one turn on, one-two off, one turn on, etc. I'm not saying she isn't useful, but I just don't see that being as helpful as other healers I've done much with. And enemy phase is still important. In my experience, a lot of what is done as far as clearing enemies in your way is done then. It's been a while since I've played FE8's lategame, though, so it is entirely possible I'm misremembering.

eclipse Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Turn 1: Dance to. . .dunno who. Someone useful. Meanwhile, have a spare unit Rescue, and another one take and drop. Turns 2-n: Repeat, and as long as you have a couple of spare units, you can continue this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Tethys to worst wat. Are you guys forgetting Nils only has LM (Which he's totally uneeded for) and Endgame at FE7? Is that worst than Tethys, who's at least available for half of the game? To be fair, Nils has those Rings and is around for (in my opinion) one of the more difficult chapters in the series. Hence my reasoning for giving him an honorable mention and saying he's something like a precursor to Valkyria Chronicles 2's Anthem Corps class. The difference between Ninian and Nils and the Anthem Corps is that Anthem Corps units do have combat utility to use in addition to stat buffs. And besides, Nils barely requires any action to perform as much as his sister and vice versa.

You pick her up and drop her in the same turn: -Tethys moves and refreshes -Forde picks her up and cantos forward -Kyle drops and and cantos to use up the rest of his movement And at the beginning of the next turn, Tethys is ready to dance again.

Swordsalmon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Best: Lara, because her utility gives a lot more output in comparison to other dancers. Case in point, refreshing a Warp-user. Also, movement stars are just hilarious. ^_^ Worst: Tethys I haven't played FE10 and New Mystery, so no opinion on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I see how that can be helpful for super low turns, but the way I tend to play (relatively low, but not super low) the 8 MOV is enough and I'd rather not use two of my units on moving her every turn. I can't say that's not effective, but in my opinion, Tethys's situation makes her the least useful of the dancers I've used much for the way I use them. In a purely objective situation, though, like the tier list, I would take that, but in this situation it doesn't persuade me she helps me all that much.

Well, that's fair enough, but most Dancers or Bards have the same problem. At least you can overcome Tethys' movement problems with intelligent play, whereas Feena is stuck with her crappy movement and no way to fix it.
