Byte2222 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Valkyrie and Mage Knight are basically identical (Valkyrie gets +1 res for -1 weapon rank) and anima is superior to light so I'd say Mage Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinDuh Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 What level should I promote L'Arachel? I don't think it's plausible to wait until level 20, and her main function will be healing anyway, which really doesn't require that high a magic stat to make a good hearler. I was thinking like level 12 or so before I promote her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Whenever you want her to be able to start making potshots? Your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd go straight for 10. She joins midgame and FE8's a short game, might as well have her start being able to tome as fast as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinDuh Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yeah I'm on chapter 14(Ephraim) and she's at level 8. And I'm definitely promoting her the second she gets to 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodspeedGunblader Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Err, what about Kyle n Forde? I didn't see anyone say anything about them. I'm just wondering if you're planning on using them. (If you aren't already.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Jam Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Franz and Forde strike me as more of the Paladin types, while Kyle seems more like a Great Knight. Don't ask me why. I always make Amelia a General. (Do Great Knights start with better Axe skill than Generals?) Edit: Yes they do; Generals start with E in axes, while Great Knights start with D. And Generals also get a bonus to their Lance skill that makes it pretty much impossible to equip them with Lances without getting them S-rank in lances. My main axe user is usually Ross as a Berserker, though. Edited December 25, 2011 by Paper Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If you aren't already.) Franz and Forde strike me as more of the Paladin types, while Kyle seems more like a Great Knight. Don't ask me why. I ended up promoting both Kyle and Forde to Great Knight. Franz and Amelia are Paladins. I wanted to keep the ration equal, 3 Paladins and 3 Great Knights(the other Paladin is Seth and the other GK is Duessel). I chose Kyle for GK because he has intense strength. Franz is a paladin because... Well I didn't want a Great Knight that early, I thought I'd do better with a Paladin. Amelia it didn't really matter, same with Forde. Those two are kinda par compared to Franz, Kyle, and Seth. I always make Amelia a General. (Do Great Knights start with better Axe skill than Generals?) Edit: Yes they do; Generals start with E in axes, while Great Knights start with D. And Generals also get a bonus to their Lance skill that makes it pretty much impossible to equip them with Lances without getting them S-rank in lances. My main axe user is usually Ross as a Berserker, though. This is for a cavalry only run, so Amelia had to go Cavalier and then either Paladin or Great Knight. I usually make her a General as well, but Generals don't ride ponies :P Ross is usually my premier axe user as well, but again, Ross doesn't have a horse. Although, seeing Kyle own with axes is changing my thought about GKs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Jam Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 You mentioned using L'arachel, since she is technically mounted, and Lute and Ewan can also promote to Mage Knight under the right circumstances. Sure, they don't start off mounted, but then neither does Amelia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerachi Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Mage Knight if you want Stronger Magic and weapon rank. Valkyrie for WTA and Faster Exp gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinDuh Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) You mentioned using L'arachel, since she is technically mounted, and Lute and Ewan can also promote to Mage Knight under the right circumstances. Sure, they don't start off mounted, but then neither does Amelia. With that logic, so can Natasha and Gilliam. But I decided to include Amelia because her 1st tier could be a Cavalier. So I went ahead and used her. L'Arachel isn't technically a cavalier, but I wanted a healer. And she happened to be on a horse. Although Lute would have been a much better Mage Knight. Edit: I could have also been using Eirika and Ephraim this whole time. But that would just be too easy.

Aran613 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I usually go: Franz: Paladin Forde: Paladin Amelia: Paladin (Occasional General) Kyle: Great Knight Gilliam: Great Knight (Varies, sometimes I feel like general) However, Gilliam isn't a cavalier, so I doubt he counts.
