CrashGordon94 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I'm on Chapter 9 and I've just been wondering who I should use the first Knight Crest on: Gilliam or Franz? I'm currently leaning towards Gilly so I can have him start building his Axe rank and give him decent movement. For the record I'll make Gilliam a Great Knight and Franz a Paladin. [spoiler=Gilliam's stats] Level: 12.32 HP: 32 STR: 16 SKL: 12 SPD: 8 LUK: 8 DEF: 17 RES: 4 CON: 14 Lance Rank B (VERY close to A) [spoiler=Franz's stats] Level: 14.39 HP: 32 STR: 13 SKL: 12 SPD: 12 LUK: 7 DEF: 9 RES: 3 CON: 9 Sword Rank D (~75% to C) Lance Rank C (halfway to B) Edited December 23, 2011 by Kirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Jim Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I highly recommend using your first crest on Gilliam. Here's why: Unpromoted Gilliam has 4 movement. This is absolute garbage, because he can't keep up with other foot units, let alone your mounts. Great Knights, on the other hand, have 6 movement, which is the same as a promoted foot unit. Franz, on the other hand, has 7 movement unpromoted, and the +1 move is superfluous right now. Also, as you said, Gilliam gets axes upon promotion(and swords, I guess, but fuck using iron swords 15-30 times). Franz doesn't get this luxury(and ultimately Garm access)unless he also promotes to GK. That and your Gilliam is INSANELY blessed. Let's take a gander: +3str/+3skl/+3spd/+3lck/+4def. Your Franz, on the other hand, is +2HP/+1str/+2skl/-2spd over his averages. The choice is pretty clear, mate.

Integrity Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Promote Franz first because fuck logic, I just like Franz more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 just promote whoever hits level 20 first, that's what I always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Probably Gilliam, he could use the movement more than Franz could use the very small combat boost when he's already decent enough as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Gilliam If he's being used, then let him have the extra move. Franz can wait later, and still be very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naglfar Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 what the fuck is this insane gilliam promote him right now so you can actually use him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 Having read the replies here, I think it's pretty clear what I should do. I will promote Gilliam now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurabolt Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I promoted Gilliam into a General and used him as a meat shield. random Great Shield is the greatest! On the Desert Map all mounted units (excluding fliers) are penalized and you'll WANT a wall who can outlast Caellach for the Hoplon Guard (blocks Critical Hits) which you will want if you want to negate the crit chance of Valter's Killer Lance (he always seemed to get lucky when I type matched him without it and 2-shotted my promoted units without the protection in in past runs). You get your second Knight's Crest Eirika's Route from Aias (Chapter 13 Boss). Either steal it from him or down him (The latter being much harder to do of course with the three weapons he has).
