crazy_man Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm getting skills from both classes so it's really down to stat caps and growth rates. He's gonna be married and paired up with War Priestess Sakura. This is Birthright Lunatic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMommaGarchomp Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Lunatic means you'll need some defense.Start GK and slide into Paladin toward the middlegame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espinosa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Priestess gives mag, lck, res. Pretty useless stats for physical Jakob. Go Paladin for higher magic so that you can use Bolt Naginata effectively. Focus on building lance rank ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Jakob has 15% magic growth and 2 base magic as a Paladin, Bolt Naginata isn't really happening. GK gives Sakura marginally better stats with pairup and the skills from classes are pretty interchangeable, but Paladin has one more movement.

By "effectively" I do mean one-rounding the most primitive unpromoted mooks at 1-2 range, something reddit likes to praise Subaki for.

General Horace Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Subaki with Onmyoji!Orochi has +5 magic from pairup and class alone, and probably a better lance rank too, which is a pretty big difference. too lazy to look up his magic growth but it's probably better than Jacob's. I just think he'd be more effective as a physical unit, and some other unit like HInoka can probably use the Bolt Naginata better anyway. Reddit thinks a lot of things are better than they are anyway. Edited August 1, 2016 by General Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It's ironic that Bolt Naginata!Subaki is recommended for LTC runs, whereas the present Birthright record playthrough doesn't invest anything into Subaki at all. As usual, the main problem with LTC being forced into discussions and tiering is that too many of its advocates don't actually play LTC themselves. Jakob is roughly as effective as Subaki as a BN user I guess. I wouldn't say Subaki gets the lance rank up easier than Jakob when Jakob's promoted bases make it easy to have him enter combat early on. I checked stats again, and I guess Paladin's 1 base mag (GK and Pally have the same 0 growth) isn't a good enough reason in favour of Paladin? I always go for GK on runs with rules or themes that couldn't make a run 'efficient' even if I tried to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I prefer GK for him as his final class. I feel that he's fast enough to not be hurting too much by end game for speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshcja Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Meh, for casual play aren't you using sakura and dwyer for BN abuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastor15243 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 What I like doing is marrying those two so that Sakura can become a strategist, which she rocks at. I also make Jakob a strategist from levels 13-15 so that he can learn Inspiration, have Sakura pass down demoiselle, and then they make a Dwyer with all of the strategist line auras simultaneously.
