kantoorfarina Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 What're your opinions on Knights? I almost always use one knight. They're my favorite class, personally, although I can understand why others don't like them. I especially like Oswin, Gilliam, Bors and Draug. Effie seems like a good unit aswell.

Elieson Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Effie has great personal growths, and Defensive Formation is an incredible skill for Generals to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You should like Gatrie too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7隊長ジョン Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Effie has great personal growths, and Defensive Formation is an incredible skill for Generals to have Knights are great in FE14, as long as you keep them near a high Mov unit such as a Cav, low Move won't be much of an issue as well.

Azz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I love knights especially in FE14 like others have said.Effie was an MVP in my playthrough.She slaughtered so much with a Beastkiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerosabers Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I use them early on like Jagens until they can't tank anymore. Other than that I usually bench them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Meg is probably my favorite FE character overall, so yeah knights are great. Knights are my 2nd favorite FE class after Shamans(and dark mage I suppose) and I make a point to always use at least one. Defense is like, one of my favorite stats as well. I always tend towards high defense units over the fast ones. I also don't care much for efficiency or low turn counts, so the low movement is fine but inconvenient in large field maps.

MCProductions Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bar Oswin and Gatrie, I never use them. The others just never turned out that great for me, but I have heard good things about Effie, so I maybe will use her too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kantoorfarina Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm hearing more and more good things about Effie. I'm looking forward to using her. I like using Kellam aswell, he and Sumia are like the only FE13 characters I cared about. Knights never really seem to stop tanking for me. It seems like from start to finish, enemies do very little damage to them. Knights I don't really use are Wendy, Wallace... that's basically it.

Tragonight Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Well let's see... Gatrie and Oswin are the only good ones. The others are a waste of time and weapon durability to use. No FE14 spoilers please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Marshall is my favourite class, so... Defensive Formation is an incredible skill for Generals to have Really?

Azz Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Effie has great personal growths, and Defensive Formation is an incredible skill for Generals to have That really depends on the situation.My Effe was blessed so she could easily double by the time she was a 20/5 General by really DF is not that useful unless you are extremely slow and even then it can be quite the hindrance when you actually can double.

Jokoister Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I like them a lot because they fit my slow yet defensive playstyle. I don't really care about LTC and try to focus on keeping my units alive so I use knights to take the hits and have other units finish the enemy off. Their Promoted designs in the GBA games also looked pretty awesome. They looked hilarious in FE1 though, by god those humongous shoulders and swords.

Radiant Dragon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Really? I think it's absolutely terrible. Not having played Fates yet, I don't know how difficult it is for Generals to double/escape being doubled in that game, but on paper it looks like an excellent, albeit situational option for them to have on the harder difficulties. If she can double, just don't use it. I can imagine it's probably pretty bad on the lower difficulties though, and learning it mid-battle when you don't want it does sound pretty awkward. As for which Knights I use, the only one I typically seriously train is FE10!Gatrie, due to his high speed growth and high base level (which allows him to quickly promote and increase his speed cap). I do use Oswin early on, although I almost never deploy him after Pirate Ship. Does using Kellam as a pair-up bot count as 'using' him? Because I do that all the time.

fengaridotdll Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They're my favorite class for whatever reason. I just like physically bulky units in FE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I tend to use Oswin, Gilliam and Gatrie often. They used to be one of my favourite classes, but I've got into the habit of wanting to clear chapters faster, so I don't use them except for the previous mentioned.

RidellCrimea Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They are one of my favorite classes. And Oswin and Gatrie are my favorite Generals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Oswin is cool. The thing is, knight seems like the easiest class to fuck up. Hell, the character that is debatably the worst in the series is a knight. I don't use knights in general (FUCK I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THAT), for a variety of reasons. One of which being a lot are terrible (The trio from FE6, Macellan, Ardan, that axe guy from Thracia, and maybe Wallace), the other being they don't really suit my playstyle for most games, and the third being that the knight armor.. looks kinda stupid. In fact, the character designers clearly noticed that, since most knights look like big dumb clueless idiots. Doga, Bors, Dolph, Ardan (who is even mocked for it) just to name a few. I do kinda like the animation where they slowly and dramatically walk forward from the SNES games (especially FE3), but after that it looks kinda strange. And in Awakening, it looks flat out stupid, with the way they awkwardly move forward and stick out their lance. So yeah, not a fan. Except Oswin. Oswin is awesome.

Loki Laufeyson Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I like em a lot. Like, in certain games (like the GBA ones), theres room for Knights/Generals to be on my team. But in some of the other games, not so much because mounted/move units are just that much better. If those guys had just a little bit more move, maybe id love them even more. Im pretty fond of thwomps though. Thwomp!Tharja is one of my favorite things to do in FE14. Oswin is my favorite Thwomp in the series. Meg would be amazing if she just...if her stats jived with her class better and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, GBA!Generals have some of the most awesome melee animations in the series, in my opinion. Although I also like how in FE10 and FE13 they both have shields and actually use them.

Mark the Tactician Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 As a (mostly) defensive player, I actually like using Knights and Generals in my teams. With a few exceptions *cough*Wendy*cough*, their high defenses usually ensure that I can draw the enemy in with minimal risk, allowing my other units to move in for the kill.

maybe Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Oh yeah, GBA generals look fantastic. It was mainly the knights I was referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I don't use them that often, other than Oswin, Gatrie and Brom, but they're something I wouldn't have too much trouble fitting in a team if I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
