DizzyWaddleDoo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Is it just me, or does anyone else think the weapon for Astra should have been an axe, and not a bow? If they had made it an axe, the three weapons (Sol, Luna, and Astra) would've completed the weapon triangle. Also, the first letter of each weapon's name would've matched the first letter of their weapon type's name (Sol and Sword, Luna and Lance, Astra and Axe), which would've been a nice touch.

Bloo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 However you think of hitting someone very quickly many times, and a big and heavy axe ins't the first thing that springs into mind. A bow really fits the skill better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It may be because Astra requires high Skill to activate semi-often (Skill/2), while Vengeance doesn't require as much to activate frequently (Skill*2) -- compare the Skill stat of bow-using classes (ie. Sniper) when compared to axe-using classes (ie. Berserker). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Axes have Vengeance. I fail to see the issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 One could argue they're based on the FE2 lances of the same names. Luna was kept for lances, Sol went to swords and Astra to bows, which is fitting because axes weren't really important in that game. Also considering the Japanese name of the skill being Shooting Star, arrows fit quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinRei Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 For non-Fire Emblem reasoning, I'd also think about Heracles killing the Hydra with a bow in Greek mythology. That's a feat reminiscent of multiple attacks at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
