The Fir Coat Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 - Defensive growths that beat everyone besides Tiki, who joins at the end of the game vastly underpowered - Strength growth beats most of the cast. - Speed growth is "only" 50% so it can be fixed with the standard Pair Up + Tonic - Best EXP progression of anyone without Veteran. On reclass she gains 29 levels at the cost of only 15 internal levels, which beats the pants off of promoted units. Also she counts as unpromoted forever (Insert a standard Nowi joke here)- Fewer Second Seals needed - 1~2 range all the time- Less obnoxious to train than pretty much any other weak physical unit (pretty much all of them) due to full power 2-range attacks - Massive boost from Dragonstones- Wyrmslayers are extremely rare- Easily one-rounds pesky late-game Wyvern Lords, for whatever that's worth So, to summarize Nowi's main weakness of requiring training is mitigated by the fact that her regular attack can be launched from 2 range and her defenses will quickly be high enough to take hits due to her growths and the stone. She avoids the EXP drop off other first generation characters hit when they reach 20/20/1 by avoiding promotion altogether, allowing her to gain far more levels than other characters. To anyone looking to try a runthough of Lunatic I urge you to try her out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bear Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I know. Why did you feel it necessary to bring this up in over-hyping fliers land Serenes Forest? Chances are people already know this or don't want to bother training growth units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interceptor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Indeed. N.O.W.I. is the best-kept secret of Lunatic mode. A few chapters of training, and boom, she's unkillable and wrecks everything all the way until the end.

Da Bear Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The Idomitable Killer Individual is better Tiki's whole thing is not needing hardly any training. Her availability is what makes her worse than Nowi, although she's still pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 -Tiki, who joins at the end of the game vastly underpowered Uh, yeah, my logged no-grind Lunatic run pretty much disproves this completely. Nowi is pretty great, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bear Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Uh, yeah, my logged no-grind Lunatic run pretty much disproves this completely. Nowi is pretty great, though. I was wondering about that... Tiki is amazing no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fir Coat Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 I guess she's usable, but she does take some levels to be able to fight on the front lines rather late in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwall Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nowi definitely requires a lot more babying than Tiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fir Coat Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yes, but at an easier part of the game. There are a lot of chapters after Tiki joins where reinforcements make it very difficult to bring any units that can't take ~4-8 attacks on the EP and she needs to be leveling up in these chapters so she can't be a Pair-up unit. I suppose she might benefit from some child Paralouges, I only did Morgan's and Kjelle's so she didn't have a chance to level up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Wait, people ignore Nowi? Da hell? Shes awesome! In fact, shes gonna be my male Avatar's next waifu. Shes a defense partner right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galenforcer Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I've taken Nowi out for a spin, and she's awesome. On Hard Mode, she takes hits very well with a Kellam support. I guess people neglected her before because of waifuism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nowi > Nah > Tiki because availability is everything. #Morflawlesslogic In theory Nah has more availability than Tiki, but Tiki's Paralogue is a lot easier unless you're Mire sniping. And in Lunatic, availability isn't actually everything. (Yes, I know the post wasn't entirely serious, but I felt like addressing it anyway. I'm a killer of fun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not that I play favorites or anything...) but yeah Tiki's paralogue is always extremely easy for me because of how many nostanks great units you can have at that point. (Fun killer!)

Loki Laufeyson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Stop being the Fun Police, Fox! I usually wait a bit to do Nah's Paralogue (which is a real pain in the fanny) anyway. Tiki is pretty fantastic, that goes without saying. I call her Tanki for a reason. But Nowi is so charming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
