Eltoshen Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Low speed isn't much of an issue thanks to the Knight Ward.I still think Brom is the best General in this game. I still don't see the reason why people would use Brom, since he comes at a much lower level than Gatrie does, and his stats kinda make him a bit hard to raise at first. Plus, it's not like it's going to get easier from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) A much lower level? I don't know about anyone else, but I've only ever gotten Gatrie to level 11 before he leaves the team. Three more levels isn't my idea of a big lead. Edited December 21, 2008 by Gustave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowAreYaBud Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Gatrie. Mostly because I've never used the other two.... Besides Torreano (or however you spell his name) once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaji Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I like Gatrie the most of the lot... RD only solidifies that opinion also. Though in PoR I dont use generals very much. Dragonknights pretty much out do them most of the time lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three more levels isn't my idea of a big lead. I've gotten Gatrie to general. o-O But that was normal mode, I think. In any case, rather than giving Brom that experience, I'd rather give it to Nephenee and Keiran. Both are rather good/very good characters.

In any case, rather than giving Brom that experience, I'd rather give it to Nephenee and Keiran. Both are rather good/very good characters. That's crazy. You must've used him a lot. The highest I've gotten Gatrie is level 13, maybe 14, on normal mode. My worst Gatrie moment was on my last playthrough. I wanted him to kill the boss of chapter 28 with the Brave Lance (cause he was the lowest member on my team). The boss used Bolting on Gatrie and doubled/killed him. Gatrie is so much better in RD.

Herr Wozzeck Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Gatrie. Brom is a pain in the ass to train, Tauroneo is useful mostly because of the Occult scroll he carries and not much else if Gatrie's already at that level, and he doesn't father Meg.

Little Sothe Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Gatrie because he tend to have more luck than brom (And beside, Gatrie and Brom have the same spd growth in PoR, altough Brom start with 2 more point). And I don't use Tauroneo because he have a totally scrap defence (22 def at level 14 general, ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Tauroneo's defense may not be super high, but he can still take a hit very well. I recall him taking little damage from both weapons and magic last time I played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Brom, mostly because of supports. With Gatrie, I only get Shinon. With Brom, it's always full with Zihark and Boyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Gatrie because I remember Tauroneo being doubled on easy mode. I've never used brom but Gatrie had a lot of no damage attacks on him on normal mode. Edited December 25, 2008 by luigi bros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Doubled in easy mode? I used Tauroneo in hard mode not that long ago, and I don't recall him ever getting double, except by swordmasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Tauroneo in hard mode not that long ago, and I don't recall him ever getting double, except by swordmasters. I don't know how it was a while ago but I think he was equipped with a silver blade in chapter 26 clash! are there enemy swordmasters there?

Saint Nightroad Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I voted for Tauro. I never have any use for Gatrie at all after he leaves the party, except in the boat level where I just have him stand at the capture space the entire time. Gatrie uses up experience that could be used on someone who is more useful than him, which is most of the early cast. Ike, Soren, Boyd, Oscar, Kieran, Nephenee, Astrid, Zihark, and maybe Jill.... there is no experience for Gatrie at all. I usually put Tauroneo in my party once you get him just incase I need a spare tank, but I rarely have a need for him anyway. All of the generals are pretty much obsolete after the first half (and their job can usually be done by a Palidan just as well.... or better.)

At least, in Normal. >__>And I don't use Tauroneo because he have a totally scrap defence (22 def at level 14 generalWhile it is disappointing that he can't max STR or DEF, 22 is still fine.

Icon of Sin Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 You're last sentence sums up my feelings about generals in this game. That's sadly the truth for pretty much every game, with some exceptions. Once your units manage to survive without the use of tanks or when you get a more mobile one ( Dragon Knights come to mind, but so do a few Cavaliers when trained ), their use is greatly disminished. Hell in FE 4 they're pretty much the worst units in the game when you get them. They can't keep up with the mounted units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangasdeouf Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hello! UP Gatrie is the best when he arrives with the Greil mercenaries, but Brom can really solo most of the 2nd Part so if you play on normal mode or harder, you can definitely level up only Brom, Marcia and Haar in the Crimea part. Tauroneo is hardly playable, but his stats can all cap easily or reach numbers close to caps, so he's the best (don't even think of his skill because it's more suited for dodgers than for Tanks). Meg has the best speed and resist and OMG she has the best training ability if you dare hard level her (chapter 1-4 the Laguz are easy to use for exp abuse). I'll link mine to this post so you can see the result of 1h of training (with not so many resets compared to others characters, she had the best growths). See? Even Gatrie and Tauroneo's base stats stink compared to hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
