Celice Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Foot units have always been more interesting for me to use, and usually more person-oriented. Mounted units usually start to feel pretty generic. So I tend to prefer foot units. I play with whatever I choose, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mounted all the way. Unless I really like the foot unit and/or she/he has epic overkill offenses to make up for it. I do love overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kngt_Of_Titania Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Mounted units feel more generic, but they tend to be better for LTC for obvious reasons. Some (but hardly all) of the best units at combat are foot units, but that unfortunately it tends to be less important than MOV (or, depending on the game, rescue/AID w/ canto) in most tier lists, so you'll (almost) always see horse units rank at least slightly higher on average. I personally dislike horse units, but I use them because I pick units based on their combat capabiities, not how cool their animations look/classes are/personalities are. IS hasn't done that great of a job balancing horse units throughout the series, often failing to give them disabilities befitting such a tremendous advantage. It doesn't help that Jaigans are pretty much Paladins in just about every case. Edited January 10, 2012 by Kngt_Of_Titania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) All out mounted units... Particularly spamming Paladins, Nomad Troopers/Rangers, Falcoknights and Wyvern units! Add in a sidedish of Mage Knights and Valkyries for magic as well. Edited January 10, 2012 by Frosty the Blizzardkitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) It doesn't help that Jaigans are pretty much Paladins in just about every case. As most of my favourite characters (not even units, just character wise) ends up being Jeigans and I fucking love Paladins, this is big bonus for me~ What, I'm a sucker for loyalty.

Parrhesia Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I personally dislike horse units, but I use them because I pick units based on their combat capabiities, not how cool their animations look/classes are/personalities are. ...No, I'm not going to be the one who brings up Wil. I favour heavy infantry > armoured infantry (anything from archers through soldiers to armour) > cavalry > light infantry > offensive magi > pure healers. I use people based entirely on personality, though, unless they're like Fiona who I simply adore and am simply not THAT suicidal for.

Elieson Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mounts aren't snipers though, and we all know snipers > mounts I find most mounted units bland and repetitive from game to game. Fliers vary a bit personality and combat wise, sort of. Mounted magic, I do prefer. If only Flourspar was recruitable in story mode *dreams*. Foot units at least constantly vary (aside from mercs mostly being high tier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't really like mounted units in FE, don't know why, I just don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedoom Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I like foot soliders. Especiall OVERKILL FOOT SOLDIERS! That's why I like guys like Edward, Sety, Joshua, Rutger, and the SM!class in FE 11 and 12(Who doesn't?, except its not overkill, but..) I dislike using mounts since they're stressed upon in LTC, but I dont really hate them. I still like the christmas cavaliers in every game except fe4. I also Like guys like Treck and Lowen, and Miledy's pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mounted archers and magi. Walking Melee. That's just the way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Mounted knights, because IS has no idea how to balance anything, so what usually happens is the mounted units have the same or better stats than foot soldiers, on top of the mobility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I tihnk that mounted units are generally cooler, in addition to being more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's normally because mounted units' stats are still sufficient to do their job well. A stat lead is meaningless if both units are one-rounding everything anyways. :/ I like mounted units more. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This even holds largely true in Lunatic FE12, where enemies have stats of actual note. There are some cases where you want higher SPD/STR cap/base, but cav bases are pally caps are solid and the 10 MOV is oh so lovely when rushing the map (since Marth w/ boots has 9 MOV, everybody else but dracos and pallies can fall behind). Well, it's more fliers than pallies for a while (although draco SPD cap is horrible). Many of the earlier games have enemies so weak ORKO'ing many of them isn't too hard to do.

Same here, but, I do use some foot units for certain tasks. Like Igrene in fe6 vs Wyverns or fe7 Raven to rape reinforcements or fe8 Moulder with Slayer and divine.. but, mounts are the way to goEven in fe10-where they got nerfed. Lol fe10 Haar, Jill, and Titania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
