Lord Tullus Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I started using him recently, and I've grown to like him quite a bit. But am I the only person who cares about him? I understand he may not be the best axe user in the game - far from it, in fact. However, I feel he can still play a role in Roy's army, whether it be as a support character or a front-line HP tank. I happen to like his character, too. He's hard working, at the very least, and that is an admirable trait for just about anyone. Which leads me to the question: How often do you use Garret when playing FE 6, if at all? Why? And there's like 1 fan art of him, period. Nothing badass either. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 He's good filler, but his speed and durability aren't fantastic. He baits wyverns pretty well if you put him on a mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Basically what Shin said, he does ok in Bern, but aside from that he's just a big meat wall. Edited October 2, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Used him once. Huge fan of axe users, specially pirates and zerkers. That said, FE6 aint the game where you want to be axelocked. I'd rather use Geese, but preferably I'd use Echidna or Dieck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtierre Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Garret is basically if you want a berserker to use, but you don't want to use either Geese or Gonzales. Garret can certainly kick ass, especially on Hard Mode, but in the end, he's outclassed by Geese's accuracy and Gonzales' sheer power. So he's only really useful if you need to have extra firepower for Chpt. 21. Edited October 3, 2016 by Flaire Valtierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 To be honest, I've never touched him, but then, I rarely get that far in Binding Blade when I play it. He certainly has a cool palette, though, so I'd be interested in giving him a shot sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestStorm Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Used him once, quick bench. Gonna use him again in my prepromotes run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has a cool palette, though, so I'd be interested in giving him a shot sometime. If you do give him a shot, I recommend supporting him with Lilina, or Lalum. The latter is more engaging(for character development purposes), and the former helps with a few of garret's Setbacks, like Hit and Avoid. Used him once, quick bench. Gonna use him again in my prepromotes run. Cool. Although, when I realized he had no supports with any of the pre-promotes, I felt like he was the worst one...

Dayni Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yeah he's alright. Nothing compared to a raised Geese or the mighty GON, but he's not a bad prepromote. I'd rank him above Doug or Cecilia at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Solid filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I didn't even realize he was recruitable when I first played haha I've only recruited him once, didn't use him, and shot him without mercy every run since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ping Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 For me, he comes at a time where I don't really need another filler unit, although I suppose he would be decent enough. In Ch.21, I usually fill the gaps with Klein and Igrene for wyvern sniping and Merlinus to get rid of all the trash I always seem to accumulate.

Scarlet Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I don't necessarily dislike him as a character, but as a unit I've never really found a good opportunity to use him since I've always had other, better ones to use. It doesn't help that his SPD and DEF are pretty atrocious, and his SKL isn't good enough to offset being axe-locked, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolisherBPB Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 His is a sad tale, He comes just too late for me as I've pretty much picked who's going to be using what weapon for the endgame and I just get him as a benchmark and for the sake of getting the character. If I got him just a few chapters earlier then he might have been saved from my "Okay you guys now just hold items that can't fit in the convoy anymore!" group... One day he might get some use. In fairness he was alright on his recruit chapter but since he was a pre-promote I didn't want to use him too much as some other people kinda needed it. I imagine in an ironman run where you actually let people die he's a good replacement, but outside that he's just there, been the okay per-promote that we have sat, wishing to one day see combat again.

Weeping Dalek (MK) Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I don't use Garret because I don't use Axe units in FE6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJose Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 This the thing about Garret, he comes to late to be useful. Even as a Berserker, h le just fails in comparison to Geese and/or Gonzalez. His growth rates arent anything to look at either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
