Mister Sunshine Sprinkles Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ah Ests...Units which teeter between "not worth it" and "worth the weight" more than once.They're set up as units that join late, but grow into powerhouses given enough time and effort. Sadly, a lot of them join REALLY late, and why drag along dead weight that'll only be of use near the endgame, when you have perfectly viable units that have been kicking ass since the first act? But we can't deny how satisfying using one is. Sure, it's impractical, and time-wasting, but it feels good to murder an entire portion of the final maps, with the same goobers who've been the cause of half of your restarts. Enough babble, on to the question...Do you guys have any personal "Est"-esque units? It can be for any reason; either for gameplay, or because you like their character.

Elieson Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Donny, hands down. No Farmboy, no Lifejoy Oh, and I guess Est is up there for FE11, because you can never have enough fliers in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I adore Nino; both her character and the potential for destruction that she has. I always use in my FE7 runs and its always so satisfying to see her kicking ass with Jaffar as her A Support partner. Just beautiful!

General Banzai Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) miranda also farina is pretty good if you arent playing ranked (which you should never do because its dumb) Edited December 6, 2013 by General Banzai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to view her as Harry Potter, with Jaffar being like an extremely grumpy Hagrid. Is that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 L'Arachel and Farina. And.. that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWalker Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 L'Arachel. Magical is the only way to decribe her personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Sunshine Sprinkles Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I love Nino; The girl's been through so much shit I can't help but want to hug her (Thankfully, Jaffar's way ahead of me). I tried using her once, and...Eh, she made decent endgame filler, but wasn't good enough to bring to Light. Yes; L'arachel is a goddamn riot.

BrightBow Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Sun from Tear Ring Saga. Maybe she joins to early but when Donnel counts, so should she. Anyway, she is easy to use and gives an hell of a payoff for the effort needed to raise her. For one thing, Sun joins right of the bat with Canto, so she is rather save to level up. She also learns Paragon at level 5, allowing her to quickly rush to her promotion. Her promotion turns her into a powerful Black Knight, which is just like the Paladin but more powerful and with a cooler palette. Black Knights also get the awesome Charge skill thrown in for free. They were even so generous to give even her portrait a palette change when she promotes. Edited December 6, 2013 by BrightBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nino is one of my favourite characters in FE7 period, so I guess she's my favourite. Plus, IMO she's one of the "better" Est units there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfishh Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ewan: After his first promotion he beasts everything. Worth the HUGE hassle to begin with. Nino: Best personality of the Ests. REALLY tough to feed kills initially, but kicks it after promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Sunshine Sprinkles Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Why don't you restart, after she kicks it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ewan, since he's easy to grind up to a killer. Farina, I like her, she's also my favourite Pegasus in general. Zeiss, he's a Wyvern, nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Tiltyu, because Wrath and MOTHER FUCKING TRON wrecks the arena. Oh, and her kids are cool, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Farina for life Would use L'arachel though if I didn't play Sethsolo FE8 pretty much solely now If Astrid counts, then Astrid (PoR) tha one time I played PoR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Nino and Farina With the afa's drops it doesn't take a lot of time to make them beastly, and I like their personalities. Edited December 6, 2013 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nino and L'Arachel, definitely, use them every time. I'm fond of Shaman Ewan too. I may have a thing for Mages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sara, because she has Staff rank in a game where staves are the tactical nuke. Zeiss, even if his growths are rather poor for an Est being a Wyvern Rider is a good incentive to train him (or at least early-promote him into an 8-move armored transport). Farina, because again flight and her join chapter and the next are great for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Does Kurthnaga from RD count?(he's considered one on the Wiki), because I tried my best to raise him in my last playthrough and seeing a maxed out Black Dragon against Ashera was pretty satisfying.

Sartek Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Tiltyu, Sophia and Tinny if you consider her one. Heck, if she's a cute mage girl, any "Est" score quite high in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 L'Arachel, because she's awesome. But Sara (even if overrated) is definitely the best est. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Zeiss's growths really good? 60 Strength is really nice, and for a Dragon Rider, 35 speed isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 est is the best even better than the rest L'Arachel's a pain in the ass to level in FE8, but it's oh so very worth it. I also like using Sophia, Zeiss, Farina, and Astrid (FE9). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
