Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I started a new game in Awakening, and now I'm trying to decide which skill I want to pass down to Nah. The father is Gregor, so I know I want it to be from one of the male-only classes, since Nah can get every other skill her mother and Gregor have to offer, but I'm not sure which male-only skill to pass on. Advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 For a more in-game oriented run I would reccomend HP+5 On a grind, post game oriented run, I would reccomend Axefaire, because the other skills are not as useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I always go for Counter to annoy people, but it's not super useful for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorena Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I forget what class set she has after that marriage, but if you decide to keep her as a Manakete, I say Armsthrift to save on money in the long term. Armsthrift Dragonstone+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would go Counter considering since Gregor is a Merc,Nah gets both Sol and Armsthrift,the two best skills to past to a Manakete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roivann Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I forget what class set she has after that marriage, but if you decide to keep her as a Manakete, I say Armsthrift to save on money in the long term. Armsthrift Dragonstone+ She'll get merc from Gregor anyways, so no Armsthrift. I'd say HP+5 or Counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonMendez Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would say that Nah should get Wrath since manaketes have high defense with the dragonstones. Armsthrift is good but she gets the mercenary class from Gregor so i'd go Wrath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you're intent on keeping her as a Manakete, I don't know what to recommend, as Counter and Wrath are absolutely awful on them. I would say that Nah should get Wrath since manaketes have high defense with the dragonstones. Armsthrift is good but she gets the mercenary class from Gregor so i'd go Wrath. You DO realize that their defenses would prevent them from even getting into Wrath range easily, right...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarthe Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you're intent on keeping her as a Manakete, I don't know what to recommend, as Counter and Wrath are absolutely awful on them. You DO realize that their defenses would prevent them from even getting into Wrath range easily, right...? I was basically going to say exactly this. Counter can be nice for screwing with Streetpass teams or something but that's about it; both Counter and Wrath rely on the unit taking decent damage, which Manaketes shouldn't do.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Isn't HP+5 a Fighter skill? I'm pretty sure Gregor has the Barbarian line, which promotes to Warrior and Berserker, so he can't get that, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Gregor gets Merc, Myrm, and Barbarian, so no HP+5. I'd personally pass down Despoil to aid grinding because Manaketes don't care about any of the other male-only skills (although if you wanted to make Nah a Hero instead, Axefaire and Counter are both decent options).

Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 That's what I thought. So for clarification, I will be taking Nah through all of her available classes just to get the skills, but ultimately she WILL be a Manakete.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Still Axefaire because having options is better than having useless skill >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrollHunter Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I forget what class set she has after that marriage, but if you decide to keep her as a Manakete, I say Armsthrift to save on money in the long term. Armsthrift Dragonstone+ Isnt armsthrift kind of pointless on manaketes because you cant forge d-stone+? In a post-game situation you're basically going to be rolling in dough anyway. I'm sure one could make far better use of that skill slot. I could see it being useful during a main-game no grind situation though. It's such a good money saver.

Tribute Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) If you're ending as manakete probably despoil just for the sake of free money while grinding, like yoshi said. And if shes going to be a manakete thats actually going to be better than armsthrift, since all you do is buy them up at a shop, no forging or RNG regalia farming or even spotpass team summoning, she doesn't need multiple weapons (Basically she can run 4x D-stone and an elixir) so inventory space/breaking mid level isnt a concern Edited January 21, 2014 by Tribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Dragonstones aren't Brave and Manaketes rarely double attack so it's very rare that a mid-level break will actually hurt you. However... While Dragonstone+'s are much cheaper than forges, they're a lot more expensive than non-forges, which are what I use outside of 100% AT or Apo (except forged Bronze for building weapon rank).

Tribute Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Theyre like 1.8k w/ silver card and 3600 with? I imagine at minimum you can break even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 3780G per Dstone+, 35 uses. Gregor!Nah has 46 Lck, so about every other kill will give you Bullion. Can you get 8 PP kills with a 35-use weapon on a unit meant to be thrown into a mob and left to tank EP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you wont be running despoil on Apo obviously. You should basically always be doubling in game. Plus dual strikes. so tanking EP = raining kills Edited January 21, 2014 by Tribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 M'kay, so despoil would be my best bet it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
