Gone2Ground Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 So, somehow my Lissa has 9STR at LV20 Cleric. Is it worth going War Cleric at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You could just go Sage reclass into a War Cleric later, when her strength gets a bit higher... Or you could just promote her into a War Cleric and give her some Arm Scrolls, equipping her with a Bolt Axe. It comes down to preference, I guess. (Well, that and difficulty.)

nocturnal YL Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 She'll start getting more strength as a War Cleric because of that class's higher Strength cap and growth. She still can't compare with most physical units, but at least you can make her deliver some damage. Wait until she reaches Axe B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I personally think it's not worth making her into a War Cleric. Although, if you pair her with Vaike, she can get a large boost in strength and become usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) The Avatar and Libra are the only characters worth using as a War Cleric in the first generation, at least during the campaign. Bolt Axes help a lot, sure, but you can't exactly depend on them. Yes, if you give Lissa and Maribelle certain supports, they will eventually, after a really long time, start to do some decent damage. In the meanwhile, you'll find that their axes have actually made them more of a liability than a help by reducing their healing throughput and making it so that they're extra afraid whenever there's guys with swords around (which is most of the campaign; lances aren't rare, but they're definitely much less common.) I'd really much rather have them as Tricksters but they can't pick up that class. Edited February 13, 2013 by CinderSkye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritsuioko23 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Making her into a war cleric was totally worth it. Turned out she could hold her own when she wasnt healing. Can't say the same for Maribelle though =_= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 In my opinion, she's better off as a Peg. Knight --> Falcon Knight because aside from Libra and Avatar, Battle Clerics / Monks are kind of "meh". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstraSage Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) There's a lot of tricks and catchs with making Lissa a War Cleric: The first one is that while Lissa has a surprisingly good Strength growth for a Magic User, her low base at said stat makes her a bit RNG-finicky. The second one is that true point of the War Clergy is actually is to be capable of taking hits and surviving when healing in the frontlines, so care a bit less for their offensive (Strength and Axe Rank) and a bit more for their defensive stats (HP, Speed and Defense). The third one is that the game actually hands out the tools to make Lissa and Maribelle into viable offensive War Clerics: intead of promoting them directly from Cleric/Troubadour, reclass them (early) as Pegasus Knights. Both Pegasus and Falcon Knights seem to share the same Strength Growth as War Clerics, so there's at least 20~30 extra levels where you can train their strength into something more acceptable to reclass from. Of course, taking in account reclassing, the best axe-wielding War Cleric of the first generation would actually be Cherche (regardless of how mediocre she'd be with Staves).

CinderSkye Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I found both Lissa and Maribelle basically got one-rounded or nearly so in the majority of situations where I left them remotely exposed for the duration of the game. (Hard difficulty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondworld Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'd get renewal and then reclass to Sage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If you're using War Cleric for a reason other than that they're fucking rad then you're doing it wrong (or if it's Libra because he's actually good at it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike of Paris Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'd say Sage. Why not weaponize that magic stat immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone2Ground Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Seeing as she was paired with Vaike, I went for it anyway. Her current STR at LV3 Promoted is 15, which is actually the same as her MAG at this point, so I might have been severely blessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowofchaos Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Ewww Japanese voices! D: Ewww Japanese text. I prefer the game that has the jokes and details not lost in localization. :P Like how Chrom didn't know what the hell Tiki was talking about when they first met her when she was referring to the "Fire Emblem" which he knew by the name "Pedestal of Flames".

Aiddon Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) War Clerics are actually something I'd recommend doing after reclassing to a few other classes, preferably ones with a better strength growth. It's more of a question of WHEN you feel like doing it as I do recommend having a character become a War Cleric due to the Renewal skill. Plus it's just amusing as hell seeing a girl like Lissa swing around an ax like it was a toothpick Edited February 14, 2013 by Aiddon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) So, somehow my Lissa has 9STR at LV20 Cleric. Is it worth going War Cleric at this point? On Normal; War Cleric or Falcoknight is good. But on the hard and lunatic settings, she's better of being a Valkyrie for her better Speed, Luck, and Mag. Making her into a war cleric was totally worth it. Turned out she could hold her own when she wasnt healing. Can't say the same for Maribelle though =_= Maribelle's not so good str doesn't make her a lovely great canidate for it. Make her a Valkyrie and she'll be a moving laser tank. <3 3/4 game spoiler (Thoron looks like Independance day. Dark Pegs with Thoron looking like UFO's in the process.). Of course, taking in account reclassing, the best axe-wielding War Cleric of the first generation would actually be Cherche (regardless of how mediocre she'd be with Staves). I shall try that in my next run. >=) She needs to go war cleric to show people she's not delicate! I actually did that in my first run because of that. =D I prefer a game to be in my native language, thanks. I only want to seek the truth to these games that Nintendo often leaves out of our copies. Plus Japanese will be second nature soon enough with enough studying.

Airship Canon Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Sage is just better all around. If you go War Cleric, do it for Renew, and that's it. Get in, get out. Also, tip on Sage and Healing throughput. Tomefaire, Valflame. That's 10 Magic. Guess what? That's 10 Magic that is ADDED to Staves. You don't unequip your weapons to heal. Sage has upwards of 16 MAG over War Cleric. That's 8 on the range of Physic and healing output. It's a lot better. Also, Thoron is back to it's FE4 "Lightning Laser" form.
