Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Best: Mage -> Sage FE5. The gains are just awesome. Worst: Lord -> Prince FE5. Late, Visually AND Statistically underwhelming. Edited December 15, 2011 by Sirius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 GBA Fighters to Warrior No SPD bonus makes me go ;/ I know right? Fighters need that shit too! D:< Best? Ill go with what i like best. Cavalier > Paladin is one of my favorites. (GBA and FE9) Cuz like stats happen and junk. Peg Knight > Falcon Knight. Hell yeah swords! I find a lot of use for that! Mage > Sage. Staves, yo! Worst? The one i hate the most.... Archer > Sniper. Mehhhh. (at least in the games ive played) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I know right? Fighters need that shit too! D:< And in the one GBA game whre they DO get speed on promotion, they're still lackluster. >_< Edited December 16, 2011 by Metal King Slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 So it's better to grind Lara to 10, waste a Master Seal on her, and then get to 12x instead of Thief -> Dancer? Not to mention she loses more stats that way than promoting her from Thief to Dancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best not counting master knight: Armour to Great Knight. One of the shittiest classes in the game (though one that's always appealed to me) to one of the coolest. +2 movement is pro, too. Honourable mention to Sniper > Bow Knight in FE2. Worst: Objectively, probably Cavalier > Great Knight. I do it all the time, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best: Cavalier -> Paladin All the move, weapon triangle advantage and if you're the Abel Archetype, stats. Worst: FE5 Priestess -> Bishop, locked to the hardest to find weapon type, lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best: Mercenary -> Hero Anti-Best: FE4 Axe Fighter -> Warrior. You gained.. almost nothing? Yay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best: Mercenary -> Hero Anti-Best: FE4 Axe Fighter -> Warrior. You gained.. almost nothing? Yay? Hint: Killer Bow + Pursuit Ring = making a bloody mess of anything with wings. Admittedly this requires favouritism plus Johalva for what is at the end of this still infantry in FE4, but...

Darros Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If we're arguing favoritism those items belong to Lester I guess that's true, but the actual promotion gains are.... ugh.... And Johalva isn't that amazing anyway. (Then again, I only used him once and he got RNG fucked, so this may be PE talking, too lazy to look up averages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) So it's better to grind Lara to 10, waste a Master Seal on her, and then get to 12x instead of Thief -> Dancer? Grinding Lara isn't for the faint of heart, true. Thief -> Dancer is probably better for efficiency purposes, but getting Lachesis or Leaf ready for promotion is not the most efficient path, either. Not to mention she loses more stats that way than promoting her from Thief to Dancer. Little known fact: The Thief Fighter -> Dancer stat boosts are so high they wrap around and become negative.

riariadne Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Little known fact: The Thief Fighter -> Dancer stat boosts are so high they wrap around and become negative. This turns out to be less than useless gameplay wise! ;/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiff Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) FE6: 8 HP/3 Str/3 Skl/2 Spd/3 Def/2 Res/2 Con, +1 Axe rank(+50 Wexp)/E Bows FE7/8: 3 HP/1 Str/2 Skl/3 Def/3 Res/2 Con, +40 Axe Wexp/E Bows Don't lump all GBA promotions together. I like the RES buff to compensate for the nerfs everywhere else. That net +1 RES is going to turn them into real mage-killers.

Thief -> Dancer is probably better for efficiency purposes, but getting Lachesis or Leaf ready for promotion is not the most efficient path, either. You can have Leaf ready for promotion in Chapter 9 without slowing your pace one bit. Following that, Leaf saves turns all over the fucking place. How is that inefficient at all? And you'll notice I specified Prince and not (-ss), since Lachesis is less so. Little known fact: The Thief Fighter -> Dancer stat boosts are so high they wrap around and become negative. How is this latter part a good thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 I think that the Thief Fighter -> Dancer vote was intended as a joke, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Uhhh. . . Best: Mercenary -> Hero. It goes from sword-locked to OMG TWO RANGE. Honorable mention to DS Cavalier -> Paladin for gaining a ton of RES for no reason. Worst: Uhhh. . .DS Pegasus Knight -> whatever Minerva is. . .because losing stats isn't the point. . .

Thor Odinson Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 But res that low is pretty negligible and the massive 5 def bonus makes up for it imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have a burning hatred of mage dragons and Chapter 23 for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Yeah... Mage Dragons are unpleasant to face indeed. Especially since magic is, like, totally useless on them. Edited December 17, 2011 by Metal King Slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Still like, 6 res isn't exactly stellar against them either. I just find something that can maybe oneshot and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Chapter 23: If you're looking at ~15 damage before RES from two annoying Bishops, I'll take the 6 damage reduction per turn. Mage Dragons: Less for me to heal off with a Physic, because no way in hell am I putting my healer on the front lines in Chapter 24 or Endgame.

Thor Odinson Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I still feel that the 5 def makes up for it by being useful for more parts of the game, though. But eh, there's always the "reclass to Paladin" option~ Once I had an entire team of Paladins and Marth and it was glooooorious~ Edited December 17, 2011 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
