The Envoy of the Beginning Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 After seeing 57834739 debates in the forest recently about FE characters, I just want to ask.... What is your definition of a good Fire Emblem character? Mine is how well he/she does against enemies that are near or at his/her level. I could care less about how hard or easy it is to raise due to enemies being at significantly higher/lower levels. I also care less about ranks either, unless I'm doing a ranked run (which I hardly do anyways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Reliability. If I can count on them to live, kill, and possibly help others, they are good. I don't care what level they start at. If I can consistently rely on that unit, s/he is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A fast unit with WTA for most of the game is usually the sign of a good unit. There's a thousand factors to consider, but those happen to help out a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 reliability, good speed, strength and skill growths, kick ass personality and is hot (girl) or badass (guy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) Well as long as the FE character is able to kill many enemy units without, needing constant healing or attention then I would say that is a good unit, regardless of stats.

_____ Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Good growths, base stats, and averages, along with good avalability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Changed by VASM :( Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Speed, it's all speed, Your only as fast as your slowest soldier and I don't like being slow. Granted they need enough strength to kill but I HATE opening the attack menu and not seeing a 2X next to Dmg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I thought you meant personality... Anyway, reliability, and has to be fast AND powerful. Also they should be the mercenary class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Klingy Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Reliability. If I can count on them to live, kill, and possibly help others, they are good. I don't care what level they start at. If I can consistently rely on that unit, s/he is good. This I HATE opening the attack menu and not seeing a 2X next to Dmg. Same here. That's why Gatrie (RD) is my favourite general, as he can actually double sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Utility, support list and affinity, join time/level he/she is at, and good fighting ability, for those who fight, of course For the level thing, there are exceptions. For example, Gonzales, if you took the good route, is level 5, but has amazing stats for a level 5 unit. I like how in Hard Mode he can have up to 43 HP, ten more than Geese! The up to 17 strength and extra skill and resistance (those two being his weak points) is swell, too. Same thing for Fir and Zeiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalkerPizza Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Good Speed, good STR/MAG, good HP, not joining too late, and having a likable personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Durability and strength. Being a jerk/interesting character helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ϲharlie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 My standards when it comes to determining whether or not a character is "good" aren't very high. If a character can do the job they're supposed to do, then that character is good in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum Tuberosum Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 High Str, Attack, Spd, Defense. Able to dodge or take alot of damage, or a good long range user, healing is also great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 A good unit to me: -Good growth stats. -Have high speed, skills, magic/strength -Take advantage of weapon triangle -High movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If I play the game just for fun, I don't really care (unless it's a hard game like Genealogy of the Holy War or Thracia 776). As long as they're not uber ugly. If I play the game with ranks, max BEXP, or fastest completion in mind, I keep a lot of things in mind. Supports, joining condition, average stats (not who is likely to get RNG blessed and who not) and when the character turns out to be RNG screwed, I replace him with a character that's slightly worse overall. I also keep things such as movement, weapon usability, availability and mounts in mind. For example, a very good FE9 team would be: Titania Oscar Boyd Jill Kieran Reyson Ike Makalov Marcia Tanith Mist Rhys Ilyana Mordecai Zihark That'd possibly be the best team, with good support chains and a good amount of mounted characters (which are very good in FE9).

Zanryu Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Whoever is actually benefitting the team. By this logic, anyone who is trained is a good unit. Therefore, you've just shoved your own beliefs into a pile of shit. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Lol at Genealogy being hard. Not the easiest, but it wasn't hard. It's possibly the second hardest game... But I can't tell for sure because I haven't played Radiant Dawn or New Dark Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
