MacLovin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Can someone explain to me why Kieran>Oscar in fe9 I mean, Oscars got availability Earth aff. Earlygame and somewhat fast supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Kieran generally has better strength and axe rank, but Oscar's advantages outweigh this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He isn't, Oscar wins. Seriously, I think Oscar's top tier or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I read that Kieran>Oscar on another FE site sometime ago. Hmm, so SF really does have all the answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Well... Both have advantages and both are indeed very close. It is possible for someone to say Kieran > Oscar while having the exact same advantages and disadvantages for both. It all depends on if you value the earlier join time or early axes more basically. SF values the join time more since it helps with getting low turncounts. It's not a hair-splitting decision, but it is close none-the-less.

Lord Raven Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I mean earth support is a factor too... The other part is that it isn't long till both have axes anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitus Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can someone explain to me why Kieran>Oscar in fe9 I mean, Oscars got availability Earth aff. Earlygame and somewhat fast supports. availability is literally the same thing as earlygame in this case earth affinity and fast supports are somewhat related; however since Kieran and Oscar support each other and are arguably each other's best support anyway, this isn't something with much leverage. Kieran at equal levels as Oscar has +1 str and spd prepromotion, so with axes that's +2 att lead, plus axes are better on the WTA (enemy lance and axe are much more common than enemy sword). Sure, once Oscar promotes he gets axes too, and with +5 spd growth the spd lead eventually disappears (although Kieran has +5 str growth and B Marcia for another +1 att), but keep in mind that Oscar's advantages aren't that significant either. His earlygame is alright but nothing special (decent durability but offense is rather lackluster, the horse helps though) and the supports don't mean much because Kieran is already very durable. While Oscar > Kieran can still be argued, they are very close in usefulness and thus should be very close, if not adjacent, in any half-decent tier list.
