Lightli Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Armor Knights tend to be derp in FE, and this one is no exception. Slow, poor offense, fail Resistance, and isn't even that d urable. Can at least promote to Great Knight, which >>>>>> General. 2/10: He's terrible, but there is a worse 4-Mov unit in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Fe10Gatrie And Oswin That's it for good armours. Gilliam is a 6 move ferry post ch7, but seriously, the cavs want it more for early prromotion. Can't wait to see 13ths rating on Ewan. Should be as much fun as KoTs rating of Wil.

xblade Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 pretty good when trained escpically for that level in rausten 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Armor knights aren't good in games with fail enemies. Unless you're Oswin, and even he has plenty of problems. They're not even good in games with decent to good enemies. They're actually probably worse because they get doubled a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Honestly, I have never used him 2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 4 base move is terrible unless you play casual. I guess he could be good for defend chapters like Rausten and crap. Maybe GK can help him but otherwise he gets a flat 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kngt_Of_Titania Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) As for Gilliam? 2/10. I hate the guy, I honestly do. He can't double worth a crap, having Bartre-like SPD base and a worse SPD growth; he also has lances, which eat WTD or at best WTN for a long while, AND 4 MOV, which makes him a gigantic PITA to train except on casual play. He never becomes fast enough to reliably double, he AT BEST gets up to 6 MOV after promotion (which also has the issue of giving up all the neat General perks which would semi-justify putting up with his fail ass pre-promo). He IS, however, durable and comes early, with an automatic recruitment mid-chapter that costs no turns and helps you out somewhat in the chapter he's on. This is enough to give him a 2/10, as opposed to 0/10's like Karla and Wendy and 1/10's like Wallace (who is a PITA to keep alive) and Renault (who comes so damn late and with crap MAG base, he shouldn't be used unless you HAVE to). I *may* bump him up to a 3/10 later (keep it at 2/10 right now), because he does have some redeeming qualities in draft play, but whatever. IS needs to learn that SPD is also effectively a defensive AS WELL AS an offensive stat and that craptastic SPD can eliminate much of an armor's defensive advantage. Should be as much fun as KoTs rating of Wil. Edited January 30, 2012 by Kngt_Of_Titania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvilino Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Gilliam is a pretty decent unit, though his use depends on his promotion to Great Knight. The early maps at the start aren't that big so his movement doesn't cause too many issues and can stay put during the route chapter. If he gets the Knight Crest his mobility and use dramatically increase and his durability comes into play(since he doesn't fall behind every other unit at this point) and he can trade and rescue chain. He has low Speed, though he doesn't see as many doubles against him that are dangerous(only Mercenaries and Myrmidons), he's rarely doubling but his damage output can be nice on the Enemy phase as he can be safetly in ranged of a large number of enemies with a Hand Axe or Javelin. His Strength is pretty nice too since he can be looking at OHKOing mages and Myrmidons, he also starts with C Lances so even without doubling it's not long until he can use a Silver Lance. 4.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Mir Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 He's no Oswin, that's for sure. Some of his first chapters being axeland doesn't help, nor does the fact that he may get doubled. 1.5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saifors Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 7.5/10 his mov and speed are low but he knows how to hit things hard and he's the best defense wall in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 GIlliam is at least twice as good as some of you people are making him out to be. 2/10. His early chapter help is somewhat appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aran613 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Horrible move but hits high when he joins. Promotion can possibly mount, making him pretty useful, but until then, his movement is horrible. 6/10 Edited January 30, 2012 by Aran613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 He 2hkos most things. Not named fighters, brigands, pirates, AKs before promotion. He 2hkoes everything else as a GK. And 1-shots things too. Steel axe and Lance, till he gets silver. Bumpy start, crest comp., mediocre speed, average move post promo... Average IMO. And, armour/horseslayer weapons are rare, and are usually wielded by weak enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful knight; The grey-haired man of Frelia Renowned for his might. Strength and defense are through the roof On promotion he improves; Gains weapon triangle control And 2 extra move. But his speed is mediocre He's doubled all the time; His move's still bad, and with his con He often falls behind. Overall, he's just not worth it There are better options; Than Gilliam For your Great Knight needs Like Duracell, Kyle as well There's also Forde, and all the rest Right here on Gilliam's Isle! 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
