Minischew Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I was looking at the Growth Rates and Max Stats for Singer, and they look absolutely awful. Azura has decent mods (+3 Spd) and GR (60% Skl, 60% Spd), so it feels like a bit of a waste to keep her as a Singer. Now, I know that utility characters are very important-- hell, I abused Olivia like she was set on fire and had to dance her flame off. But Azura joins on Chapter 6 in Hoshido and on Chapter 9 in Nohr. In comparison, Olivia joined in Chapter 11. Additionally, Azura is a main character; therefore, I'm assuming we have to use her as a unit quite often. So, given her availability and necessary usage as a unit, is it worth it to keep her as a Singer? Her alternative base class is Pegasus Knight, and I don't think she does too badly as a Falcon Warrior...

eharper256 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Um, what's bad about 10 STR, 20 SKL, 20 SPD, 20 LUK growths? That's putting her at 60 STR/80 SKL/80 SPD/60 LUK, which is pretty redonkulus. The only thing that Pegasi offers better is 20 RES; and in so doing you lose 10 SKL and 5 SPD. Falcoknight just adds 10 MAG to that. Admittedly, Aqua is a huge glass cannon; but you're not going to fix that in a hurry unless she spouse-seals someone with Great Knight/Armor Knight access. Even then, best case scenario is 35% DEF, so honestly I'd say her DEF is pretty much a lost cause. I also suspect that you need to be in the Singer Class to sing. It's not a skill; though there are skills that buff it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) This is like asking if Olivia should be a dancer. ... Yes. Should be obvious, since Singer is your "dancer". Edited July 3, 2015 by Airship Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayserbeam Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 As a singer, she has incredible utility. As anything else, she's too squishy. She might make a decent Golden Kite Warrior or another ranged class through marriage (like perhaps Elite Ninja or Bow Knight) because then her awful HP and DEF don't matter. But I wouldn't sacrifice Singing for that. Also, Akua starts with about 20 HP. At level 40 as a Singer, my Akua had 24. No way am I putting that on the front lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Kamina Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Also, Akua starts with about 20 HP. At level 40 as a Singer, my Akua had 24. No way am I putting that on the front lines It's even worse. She starts with 16 HP, and has a mere HP growth of 25%. She's far too squishy to be a front line fighter, even if you reclass her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minischew Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I guess the growths aren't that bad as I made them out to be, but I was just looking at some of the Max Stats, and it seemed like Singer's were very low. And that freaked me out a lot, because I supposed that Azura had to participate in, say, every chapter for story reasons. And I know my Chrom ended up maxing out pretty quickly because of that mandate, and I was afraid Azura would suffer from max stat limitations if she stayed as a Singer. Also, as you pointed out, I saw Azura's growth rates and immediately thought "glass cannon." Personally, I don't really approach a defensive tactic (unless I'm grinding), so it felt a bit wasteful for me to use her as merely a support unit. But if she's that squishy, I guess it makes sense to use her as a utility unit. Thank you for the responses!

Tamarsamar Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I mean, it only makes sense to class change her to at least one other class during gameplay, just to round out her list of available skills. Whether she ends up back as a Singer again is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dämonplay Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 She's gonna be a basara for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minischew Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Ah yeah, I know. I was referring more to end class, since I was worried about Max Stats. I'll probably switch her into Falcon Knight for Rally Speed. If she's going to be used in the back, a rally skill wouldn't hurt. And you plan to make her a Basara? Do you plan to marry her to Tsukuyomi for the Marriage Seal, then? (Or are you going to rely on Buddy Seals instead?)

Gabriel98 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Just reclass her a couple of times. The singing isn't really all that important. Even though being able to move a second time during a turn can be very convenient, it's a frivolous luxury. I'm sure that, like Olivia, Azura will become an absolute monster after two or three class changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Azura felt fine to me even as a singer. She has the absolute greatest speed of them all, and not even pegasus units can avoid being doubled by her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 My Aqua is doing pretty good with 29 HP, 20 strength and 25 speed at level 23. squishy as hell but she can double quite a few enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
