Fargo294 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) In any of the handheld FE games, who would you choose to promote early to increase their usefulness? This can apply to LTC or Hard mode runs or even regular runs. Sadly off the top of my head I can't really think of any, but early promotions of mounted units would be pretty useful in certain cases.

X-Naut Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Magic users or healers when I need both the healing and fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I would sometimes promote Est-archetypes early if I'm lazy,or any unit that gets staves or axes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I promote early whenever doing so makes the chapter easier or (in drafts) saves a turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 OsWIN, he could use the move bonus IMO ( I prefer promoting him before chapter 15x, I might have mistaken the number but I am talking about the one where you have to reach Fragus, to massacre the pirates and force through them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 if you're talking about promotion at the lowest level, it has to be miledy because you can't 5-turn chapter 13 without instapromoting her. but in FE6 you have to early promote pretty much everyone, except for cavaliers - but they don't tend to be very useful.

Espinosa Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 if you're talking about promotion at the lowest level, it has to be miledy because you can't 5-turn chapter 13 without instapromoting her. Can't you 5-turn it with THANY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I tend to promote staff-locked units as soon as they get to level 10, because then they can go on the offensive/deal chip damage. Most of the time, my staff users get magic screwed anyway, so they kinda need the buff. I think the only other time I've promoted a unit early in the GBA games was Sain in my HHM run, since I needed another "uber" unit alongside Marcus although being defence screwed sucks!

Robert Stewart Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I promoted Saul early(~lv 15 I think) so that I could get started on grinding his Light Rank up. Edited January 13, 2014 by shinpichu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargo294 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 I promoted Saul early(~lv 15 I think) so that I could get started on grinding his Light Rank up. I kind of wondered if that would be a good idea to assure all the S-rank weapons get used(especially since having two healers on the team makes it hard to get 20/promotion for both).

Yeah, he doesn't seem to have been hurt by it all that much, so it might not be a bad idea, especially with FE6's situation with Guiding Rings).

Atmey Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I promote early only the healers. And i think i never promote one of them under the level 15 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Calamity Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If by promote early you mean promote around level 10, I almost never do that. Even with healers, I find it easy to get by without them being able to fight for a while. If you mean promoting before level 20, in 6 and 7 I do that all the time, since I figure they probably won't make it to promoted level 20 anyway, so that's the point where I don't feel like I'm wasting level ups. In Sacred Stones, I never do that, because well, the Tower of Valni is right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xator Nova Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Rutger and Miledy from FE6, Sain from FE7, and really any staffbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberJoshua Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 When I was a wee noob, I used to promote gerik as soon as i got him (I can practically hear the facepalms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordmastersrulez Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 When I was a wee noob, I used to promote gerik as soon as i got him (I can practically hear the facepalms). Yeah, I'd give a facepalm for this, but Gerik's base stats aren't so bad, so it''s even acceptable, and I barely promote any unit early, but if I had to, i'd promote healers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I always promote early even when I try not to. The latest I promote units is usually Level 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can't you 5-turn it with THANY? i don't think you can, because miledy does that thing where she moves next to roy on the turn that she joins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
