luigi bros Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm finally forcing myself to play FE1. I have an idea of how it works, since I've played a little bit of it before. I want to know if these are good characters. Also is this too many? And will I be struggling to get promotion items? I'm already at Chapter 7, so I have a few units leveled considerably by now, but despite how bad the arena is in this game, I am willing to use it to catch up other characters. 1. Marth 2. Kain 3. Gordon 4. Sheeda 5. Oguma 6. Barts 7. Rena 8. Julian 9. Navarre 11. Merric 12. Linda 13. Katua 14. Paola 15. Chiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirino Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I played through the game once to test my translation patch. Here's my opinion on them: 1. Marth - You're forced to use him anyway so better level him up. He can't promote but with a few buff items he turned out actually very good to me. 2. Kain - I used Abel as Kain kept on missing hits... So I suggest Abel instead 3. Gordon - I used Kashim because Gordon is not useful until he promotes. Gordon might turn out better, though, given he can promote. 4. Sheeda - Early obtained Pegasus Knights almost always turn out godly, Sheeda is no exception 5. Oguma - Very stable and reliable unit 6. Barts - Without a doubt the best axe user. He did have some accuracy problems, though. 7. Rena - I used her as my primary healer, you can easily level her up to 20 and then make her a priest to also deal some damage. And she can use hammerne... 8. Julian - I used him as a fighting unit and he turns out pretty good, not as solid as others, but pretty good for a thief anyway. 9. Navarre - I preferred Oguma as Navarre is a bit fragile 11. Merric - Best magic user. There's little to no resistance all game, so I'd always advice to use him. 12. Linda - Strongest magic user. Joins at a low level, though. If you can get her some enemies to kill, she turns out godly. 13. Katua - I used her. She is good but she failed to impress me like Sheeda did. 14. Paola - Never used her 15. Chiki - It actually took some speed rings, but she was the most reliable unit in the end thanks to her overwhelming defense. It seems like a pretty solid team to me. I also used Hardin on my team, which I DON'T suggest to you. I was quite disappointed with him and I used Kashim, who I was content with. For the rest it's mostly the same. Oh, and Wendel: for a prepromo he turns out exceptionally well. Edited January 11, 2012 by Quirino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 As long as you don't try using any staff users who CAN'T use magic, you shouldn't be too bad off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I thought they didn't gain experience for healing, only for dodging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Use Jeigan. He is singlehandedly the best unit in the game. Replace Sheeda with Cord, Linde with WINdell, and Rena with BOAH when he arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wouldn't Bord have *extra* shitty AS in FE1? Or did they not have Weapon Weight either back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Don't use 3 Pegasus Knights, the first Dragon Whip is in the same map that you get Chiki and I think there are only 2 overall. Also axe users suck in this game, and Barts is not worth fielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirino Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I thought they didn't gain experience for healing, only for dodging? That's correct. However, if you put a cleric on a fort and let a thief constantly attack them, they will get tons of experience without dying (they get the amount of experience one would get if they would kill that unit and thieves gives lots of experience when they get killed). That way I got Rena to level 20 in the chapter I obtained her. Then all there's to do is wait until you get the Bishop Ring... Don't use 3 Pegasus Knights, the first Dragon Whip is in the same map that you get Chiki and I think there are only 2 overall. Also axe users suck in this game, and Barts is not worth fielding. You can buy them in the secret shop in chapter 23... Edited January 11, 2012 by Quirino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 You can buy them in the secret shop in chapter 23... OK, I didn't know that, but that's two chapters before the end of the game! That's not very useful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
