Tide of Waves Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) EDIT; Father: Gaius Pass on: Counter Mother: Tharja Pass on: Luna ((Why the hell not)) what do you think? I plan to use noire, in post game, If I feel like it. Noire's Skills: Galeforce, Vantage, Vengeance/Luna, Lifetaker, Bowfaire/Limit Breaker Yep, I am planning to keep her as a Sniper, because I need an archer.

Gaia Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Vantage isn't going to help much as a Sniper. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czar_Yoshi Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Counter is fine too, but if you're using an Archer correctly they shouldn't be in a situation where they get attacked from 1-range. Still, it's not like any of the other male-only skills are very good, so keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Gaius can pass Sol but doesn't pass the Hero class because it comes from his fighter tree. I personally think it's better than passing any of his other options, but if you want to do some troll StreetPass team then Counter is fine. Counter is just pretty bad for in-game in pretty much any capacity since you rarely want to get hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The exception to that is for fighting the Lunatic Risen, where it's really useful, but you need Renewal and/or Sol for that to work and Gaius!Noirs gets neither (if you pass her Counter).

249019835431097531 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Gaius allows Noire to get galeforce. Making her a very mobile archer. Counter and vantage is not necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 You should pass on Sol since Noire can't be a mercenary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyron Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) i would use Sol (From Giaus) Galeforce Pass Bowfair Astra or Lethality Sol, she won't inherit mercenary and none of the male exclusive skills are that good Galeforce, since she is a sniper she won't have much of an enemy phase so you need to capitalize on the player phase Pass, If she gets surrounded its useful, an alternative is dual guard + if you use her as a pair up Bowfair, More str = more damage Astra/Lethality/Luna, Activation skill which one is up to you, I prefer luna As an alternative you could make niore a ranger that would be same setup except pass could be replaced with something else.

Czar_Yoshi Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bow Knights have lackluster caps and can't wield Longbows. If you need a secondary weapon, go Assassin instead. Luna is much more useful than Astra or Lethality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Bow Knights have lackluster caps and can't wield Longbows. If you need a secondary weapon, go Assassin instead.Lackluster compared to what? They have 8 mov and give +Spd and +Mov in a pairup. Braves >>> Longbows anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Compared to everything. Bow Knight's non-HP caps add up to 264 (which happens to be the lowest of any promoted class except GK, which is brought down by it's strange Mag cap). General (the highest promoted class) has 286, a 22-point lead, and Dread Fighter (without Res+10), Bride, and Transformed Manakete are all higher. Actually, even Untransformed Manakete beats BK. To add to that, BK's highest non-Lck cap is Skl at 43, and every other class in the game with nothing above 43 either has 40/40+ average defenses, is really bad (Griffon), or is Dark Flier which doesn't care because it can fly, use Tomes, gives +Mag/Spd when paired up, and gets Galeforce. Assassin, which loses 4 Def and gains 5 Skl and 5 Spd, and Sniper, which loses 1 Spd but gains 1 Str, 5 Skl, 5 Def and 1 Res, stand out in particular as superior Bow options. I like BK early on but once I start capping stats, it lacks a strong point in which to shine. Edited January 4, 2014 by Czar_Yoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Braves >>> Longbows anyway. As a support, yeah, but if you need an Archer/Sniper, you need an Archer/Sniper. Not a Bow user. The point of Longbow is utility-- namely the ability to engage targets outside of retaliation range. Comparing Longbow/Double Bow against Brave Bow is a form of Apples vs. Oranges. They're weapons with different purposes. Edited January 4, 2014 by Airship Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jave Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 As others have said, Sol is the better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
