Randoman Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So which one do you think is better between Artur and Lute? Before, everyone valued Lute over Artur due to stats, but now many people have switch sides and valued Artur over Lute since low turncounts are everything nowadays. I've always considered Artur to be the better one, since he's quite a lot better in some areas (better utility with C staffs with Bishop promotion vs. a mount with Mage Knight promotion, no point comparing them as sages since they're relatively similar except for con and weapon levels) and is better than Lute in small but quite significant areas (availability, constitution, AS, better earlygame thus easier levelling, etc.).

Serene Flight Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Voted Lute but... Shi- totally forgot Bishop's skill D: E: Ah, I totally forgot that I can change my vote : D Edited March 10, 2012 by Serene Flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Artur, Slaying zombies is cool and that crt O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Into Oblivion Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I vote Artur too. Since most of the monsters are vulnerable to Light magic, I'll take all the help I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazuki Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I prefer Artur, mostly because he can be a Bishop with Slayer which is very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I prefer Artur because he isn't a pompous douchey allegidly-prodigal bookworm. That, and lightmagic! Slayer hurts so much more than animamagic!fuckwaste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I voted Artur until I saw Elieson's post. Then I voted Lute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Lute irritates me, and Artur turns out well for me. Plus there's that C in staves for instant restore against those annoying staves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I like Lute so i voted her. But i like using both of them! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiff Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Artur's better but he's boring and plain-looking. I always pick Lute over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 regular game -> Sage!Lute creature campain -> Bishop!Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Banzai Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I any kind of low turn playthrough the choice is clearly Artur. Easier Warp, Slayer... That said, however, I think Lute is more helpful to the team in a more standard playthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNG Princess Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) I like both of them equally even though Artur is more useful, light magic in FE8 is more convenient due to monsters. Edited March 11, 2012 by Queen_Emelina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I voted Artur until I saw Elieson's post. Then I voted Lute. Gee thanks for the inspirational message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saifors Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I prefer Lute because I like her character and she has proven many times for me to be better, only thing Artur has is Bishop slayer ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Jim Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Ok, between these two, Artur wins. Why you may ask? -First off, Bishop grants him Slayer, which gives him an automatic bonus against monsters, which are abundant lategame. Lute does not have anything to counter this, except for the Excalibur spell, which is as potent as a Slayer boosted Aura. However, Lute HAS to use Excalibur to match or beat Artur's damage output using regular Light tomes. -Second thing in Artur's favor is C staves. Now, I know that Warp is awesome, but that's not what I want to talk about. C staves at base promo allows Artur to use Barrier and Restore right off the bat, and gives him a very good shot at Physic. The only other non-Moulder, non-Natasha unit who can have this kind of claim is Saleh. Lute only has D staves regardless of class, and would need to promote by Chapter 11 if she wants a realistic chance of using high end staves(i.e, not happening) I personally think they're dead even because there is a lot worse out there, and I don't like bashing one unit just because she's slightly inferior to another unit who does basically the same damn thing.

CrashGordon94 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I just have two comments: 1) I use both, typically. 2) Plain old run-of-the-mill Light spells have no bonus against monsters, you need Slayer or Ivaldi for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitus Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 It depends on how fast you are blitzing through the game. Lute relies heavily on getting full supports to maximize her durability and also has better growths, while Artur has slightly better bases and C staves upon promotion (which means faster warp access than Lute). Which means in a super fast playthrough with less turns spent supporting and gaining levels and more time warping, Artur is the clear winner. In a standard playthrough Lute is slightly better. Do note that they are each other's best supporter though, so it's usually a good idea to use both. again, if you are fine with building them up.

H-Bastaki Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well guess its artur mainly because he can promotes to a bishop but mage knights are cool as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Artur's pretty cute and Lute's annoying guess which one do I pick :P (in serious, gameplaywise I also prefer Artur. Spam that barrier~) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 again, if you are fine with building them up Shouldnt be a problem. Their supports with each other are pretty fast considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darros Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lute can have a horse and is less lame. So Lute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallenite Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 in a game that's so easy, why are you not voting based on HAIR STYLES? because artur fails there three times over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
