SSbardock84 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 What do you guys think is the better form of Dracoknights? With Axes and Lances or with Swords and Lances? I wish you could have all three, but I'm not sure which one I like better. I'd have to say Swords and Lances because I like swords. But Axes and Lances should be kept imo. It'd be good if you could choose what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I prefer swords and lances,but axes and lances are probably more usable since you kinda see more sword or lance users later game then axe users.If a flying unit does end up getting swords and lances,it should be Falcon Knight/Warrior,since taking away the ability to use swords was a terrible idea.

X-Naut Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axes suit the more robust nature of drakes better than swords do. Besides, we already have two mounted classes with the sword/lance combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitchy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I prefer Axes and Lances, to make them different from Falcon Knights, and because axes are cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Axes and lances. I liked that RD changed them to start with axes and get lances later, because it added another axe-wielding class. Axe wielders weren't common in PoR at all. The only classes that could use them were the Fighter line and Axe Knight line. And Boyd was the only playable Fighter in the game.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axe/Lance. There are more sword/lance than axe/lance users, so it sets them apart. Plus it just seems to fit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot about the Berserker class(Largo)! But you have a good point. Axes and lances, easily. There are not a lot of mounted axe-users, and so giving Draco-knights axes is the right idea. I can't think of a situation where a Wyvern Lord would use swords over lances, except for against an axe user. I don't like training Wyvern Lords sword levels, and in FE8 I would always promote Cormag to Wyvern Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axes tend to be underrepresented compared to swords so that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 You forgot about the Berserker class(Largo)! But you have a good point. Ah, yes, indeed. xP Though in my defense, I never bother to recruit him because I feel he's pointless. So it's quite easy for me to forget him.

Shadow Mir Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axes and lances, easy. I can't think of any instances where a wyvern would want to use swords over lances, other than in FE6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradivus. Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Not really in FE6, either, since axereavers exist (ftr, I haven't really used them often and just used killers) and killer lances can hit axe users kind of reliably anyway while also having good damage output, swords only have armorslayer going for them, which isn't that useful except against throne general bosses, and you can just train pre-isles units for that since the earlygame allows for iron swords to be used without going out of your way. Axes and Lances easily. Swords almost never matter on Dracoknights, whereas axe rank is kind of easy to build if the unit in question is strong, axes dish out more damage against axes and reduce damage taken from them, while having hammer and hand axe too, and while those are limited in usefulness, they're more likely to come in handy than any type of swords.

Tsunami922 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axes and lances. There's enough swords and lances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Axes and Lances because of the very obvious Sword/Lance presence compared to the former. But also I like the whole fliers having Lances and then opposite weapons on the triangle. Now I just want a Griffon Rider with Axes and Swords.

SSbardock84 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Axes and Swords Have they ever had just axes and swords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Axes and Lances are better for class/weapon diversity, although I think it would be more fitting to start with lances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titamon Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Have they ever had just axes and swords? No, but I think it's a happy medium between the 2 weapon combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radetzky120 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Axes/lances as featured in the Archanea/Tellius/Awakening/Fates games. I much prefer it to the Sword/lance of FEGBA. I like weapon diversity in my classes, and there's little differentiating a Wyvern Lord from a Falcon Knight in FEGBA other than caps otherwise. Plus Wyvern Knight is better than both in SS.
