Wen Yang Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 He's a dancer/refresher/heron. 10/10 by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Raifel is undoubtedly the best heron in the game in most aspects. He's the best performance of all herons, because he doesn't need to transform to perform better. Singing Galdr to all adjacent units is just awemazing, yet his movement is sacrificed (I think) in exchange of such ability. Of course he's frail but there's no logical reason for a player to place such treasure in risk, that's like having an archer wait in front of a bunch of enemies (unless they're tigers or cats and this archer has Beastfoe+Crossbow XD). 1-8: He's useful in vigoring a unit going to the west, yet it's a map to be cleared quickly. 1-E: Godly useful in vigoring 2 units rushing to the throne room for a 5-6 turn clear. 4-1: More help, watch out for reinforcements and the falconknight at the beginning. 4-4: He can vigor someone to help Ike in Oliver's room for a 7 turn clear. 4-E-1: 3 turns clear thanks to his natural gift. 4-E-2: Not useful, yet, watch over him. 4-E-3: Vigor a diamond of units for a 1 turn clear on Dheg. 4-E-4: Can vigor a unit that can ORKO Sephiran with Parity. 4-E-5: An easy 2 turn clear with strong units that can kill consistently the cunning auras. He'll need to be over lv.30 (BEXP leveling up) to resist Ashera's first turn attack. I'll give a 10/10, if not a 11/10 Edited January 20, 2012 by Quintessence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 10/10. Definately a worhty pick if he is not free. His 4 people refresh is even better. And saves a heck of a lot of turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 9. He is one of the few refreshers I actually find really useful and rather underrated. He's amazing, refreshing four people at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 9.5/10. Probably the best heron of the bunch, amazing in the short endgame chapters. Everything else has been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Rafiel's average is 9.5. Day 20: The Black Knight Pros: God unit. 1-2 range monster that never dies. Can be ferried by Nailah or Volug to make the Throne Room a cakewalk while Sothe carries Miccy. The 4 turn 1-9 strat wouldnt be possible without him. Cons: Tends to arrive late to the party. 6 move. Terrible availability. I give him a 6/10. He is useful in 1-9 and 1-E but thats about it for me. In 3-6, he joins when the map is ending -_-.

Wen Yang Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 6/10. He gets 20/10 for his insane godliness, and loses -14 points for practically not existing in the game excepting parts of some maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) 6-Move isn't a problem for him because it's normal in Part 1. I give him a 7. Edited January 22, 2012 by gaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintessence Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Burger King rolling out and tearing everyone apart. He's Micaiah's Saviour. 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciarre Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 4/10 In 1-9 Micaiah's resolvekilling the majority of everything and the BK's just killing Jarod and other shrimps. He's useful in 1-E but only if you have someone who can rescuedrop him, otherwise he's gonna be left behind. He comes too late in 3-6 to do anything that my draftee couldn't have done already.

Junkhead Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You don't need someone to Rescue/Drop BK for him to reach Jarod's lair in time, just one Vigoring of Resyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 He's a staple to clear out 1-9 in a remotely efficent manner and/or without an absurdly luck based strat. He can clear out the entire upper area near Jarod in a single enemy phase, and then blast him the the next turn. 3-6 he shows up too late, admittedly, but he's still unkillable and can help you get those last few kills in. I think he's worth a solid 7.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's worth a solid 7.5/10. This made me reconsider. He's right. The 4-turn strategy with Micaiah requires her to be Spd-blessed and it's kinda risky. An average Micaiah won't be able to pull until lvl 19. With that in mind, BK is the one doing all the work at 1-9. He's also a great help at 1-E, helping Micaiah get to the throne quickly.

PKL Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 BK's average is 5.6. So, that ends Part 1's units. Now for Part 2: Day 21: Elincia Pros: Is one of the only ways to 1 turn 2-E. Those who dont draft her either have to rely on Nealuchi or Marcia dropped Brom in order to complete that map without penalty in a reasonable amount of turns. She is also incredibly good in the Hawk Army. Able to traverse quickly through 4-2 and kill things with Tempest Blades and Storm Swords (and of course, Amiti). And she has Rescue for 1 turning 4-5. Shes a pretty damn solid choice for a draft. Her only drawback is availability. She also has great growths. High move. Flight. Canto. Staves. Good combat all in one awesome package. Cons: Availability. Bad bases for a Tier 3 unit. Her offense in her first map is lol due to only having a Slim Sword. I give her an 8/10.

Junkhead Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 7. Lack of availability is a drawback. Add that to the fact she has mediocre stats when she comes back and you don't want to BEXP her because it trashes her stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awemiti + CEXP + average-good lv. ups = She's peaceful and likes to be diplomatic. Remove lolMercy and have her as a killing machine X.X. Fliers are awesome by their own. EDIT: 7.5/10 Crimean units availability suck. Edited January 22, 2012 by Quintessence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Saves you 4 turns flat out in 2-E. (assuming you didn't already draft Nealuchi/Marcia) Flying is amazing for completing the Hawk chapters fast. Bexp, paragon and amiti exist to counteract somewhat low stats in part 4. Oh yeah, and rescue, which allows you to do some rather ridiculous things coupled with Rafiel in endgame. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Where is the obligatory 10/10 for Elincia by Queen Elincia? -_- Anyway, her average is 7.4. Day 22: Oh boy, its my favorite, Marcia! Pros: Sprite is beatiful. Flight. Canto. Good growth total (though they couldve been distributed a bit better). Shes amazing and beautiful. Promotes in 3-9 and 3 turns it like a boss. Then, she keeps being useful by ferrying Ike in 3-11 for a 4-5 turn (realistically, a 5 turn). And then, shes ridiculous in Part 4, being good in any route u put her in. Though her flight will probably be more appreciated in Silver Army. Cons: Her str lags sometimes, good thing there is BEXP for that. Bad bases for a level 5 unit. Average availability. Her growths could be better allocated... I give her a 10/10 err, I mean an 8.5/10.

Junkhead Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 3rd round pick? She is easily 2nd with all her values. I'd pick her over Elincia. 8. 3-turning 3-9 and being great for the Silver Route is my main reason drafting her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if she joined alongside Haar, Neph and Heather.... Also, her only cons are availibility and lowish strength grwth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
