Forrest Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Not only are they only 1 range, they're impossible to obtain reliably. Not a single spotpass team sells them (Unless one of the "Other" teams has it). I bring this up today specifically because I just got Petrine in my bonus box. When I saw that she had a brave lance, I thought "Huh, did she use a brave lance before? Wait, no, she used a flame... lance. I guess it'd be a bit hard to transition that--wait a second, what about the Shockstick? It's a magic lance--WAIIIIIIIIIT!!!". They dropped the ball on that one, I think, though that's just my personal thought on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The only issue i had was that those are not 1-2 range. Cuz that like, doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 They're still better than FE9 Bolt Axe and SD Levin Sword, as I see it, because at least there are units who can use Shocksticks well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The only issue i had was that those are not 1-2 range. Cuz that like, doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Yes, especially since the Levin Sword and Bolt Axe are 1-2 range. Why did Lances get the...short end of the stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yes, especially since the Levin Sword and Bolt Axe are 1-2 range. Why did Lances get the...short end of the stick? Speaking of which, couldn't they have been throwable like a javelin, like the Flame Lance was in PoR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I agree - why couldn't it have been 1-2 range? For me, its main use is boosting the Mag of my Falcon Knights (someone suggested this in a previous thread - thanks, Samias). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 When you put it that way, true. I do like how the magic weapons here actually have users that can bring out their potential. The range and availability irk me though (But I guess that's probably because magic weapons are a novelty I love.) Also a throwable shockstick would be silly. Especially since they use a casting animation like the levin sword and bolt axe. But it'd be funny so I'd support that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yes, especially since the Levin Sword and Bolt Axe are 1-2 range. Why did Lances get the...short end of the stick? I know right? So saw what was done thar. I like using Shocksticks on my Brides but it really just burns my bacon they arent ranged! what the shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Stalker X Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I like using Shocksticks myself when I get them, and it is upsetting that they aren't 1-2 range. One other thing I don't like is just simply the fact that all 3 of the magic weapons in this game are lightning. I would've liked it more if they were the Bolt Axe, Flame Lance, and Sonic Sword from PoR instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarciasBeard Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Agreed. I'd love it if they just shot lightning bolts out of them for the ranged attack. Also they should have had a magic bow as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadykid Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 thread title should read "shocksticks, why you have no 1-2 range" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
