bethany81707 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 In the Tellius series alone, soldiers have a promotion to halberdiers, lance-locked foot-units. While writing a story for a Sacred Stones setting, I found myself wanting to add an allied soldier unit to the party, which would mean I'd probably have a halberdier at some point. This is the question: all single-weapon second-tier units in Sacred Stones either have a heightened crit rate or a special Skill (like Sure Shot or Pierce). While halberdiers do have heightened crit rates in Tellius, I'd like to hear ideas for potential Skills this halberdier class could have.

Slumber Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) An enhanced crit rate might work to make them a lance parallel to Berserkers and Swordmasters. I *think* their crit rate was a bit lower than Sword Saints in Tellius though, so it might not be a perfect fit. Pierce might be a decent skill for them. It's fitting for a unit that exclusively uses stabbing weapons. Edited January 27, 2017 by Slumber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeheza Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Well, the first skill I came up with was "Cleaver" which would work similar to bishops slayer skill except this version would be "effective against horseback units". I mean, there is already axe type weapon halberd that has the same effect so maybe halberdier could utilize the skill with lances. It might be a little OP though.

Sacred Stones has a horse-slaying lance (...I think it's called the Horseslayer). Hm... in Sacred Stones itself, it might be underwhelming, if anything. [Monster]-Slayer is so good because there's so many monsters in the postgame. The only postgame horse enemies are Tarvos, who tend to wield axes anyway.

It fits with the name and the role, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been too long since last time I played FE8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
