Vaximillian Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Mister Eternal Escort, gaining 2 whole points of magic in twelve freaking levels absolutely won't do. It pains me to bench you, young man. You are a disgrace to your master. Why are you doing this to me, boy? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical Glace Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I really wish they made Erk better. He's actually my favorite of the FE7 mages, with Nino right behind him. The poor guy really needs an improved magic growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 My last Erk got Magic screwed, too. I think it was 9 Magic at level 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slumber Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Erk, in my experience, is the unit most likely to get RNG screwed in FE history. I've never had an Erk with stats that end up reflecting his growths. plus i mean why even bother when you get pent and nino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 This gave me the certainty that I was right ignoring him in my two FE7 runs. I have to say FE7 is one of the few games I don't like any sages for different reasons. Went for Priscilla who never could surpass weapon level C in tomes.

Shadow Mir Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Ouch. To be fair, though, this is FE7, and it ain't like sky-high offense is necessary when the enemies are weak.

Irysa Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) tbh he'd still be pretty good with a promotion considering he hits res, and he's way above his speed average. Edited February 9, 2017 by Irysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 What's the big deal? Just sell the ocean seal and buy some energy rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flee Fleet! Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) H-he might just get better? I mean after all, he was my most sucky unit in Lyn mode but has now become better upon entering Eliwood mode Edited February 14, 2017 by Flee Fleet!

My monster Erk had about 4 points of Mag above yours and maybe 2 points of Spd less, iirc. He was gud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have an energy ring lying in the convoy just in case… I’m definitely not going to give up on him, he’s already B with Priscilla, damnit. Maybe I should just toss a guiding ring at both of them?

You just need to tell him to stop. At certain points of RNG screw I reset for level ups lol. Edited June 1, 2017 by SatsumaFSoysoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanaxian Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 This is why I prefer Pent. Gave Erk a chance, only had 9 magic upon promotion and had roughly 14 at 20/12. Inexcusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayni Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Guys, I think I managed to get an Erk who hit his averages pretty well (of course, he's still going to have lower magic than Pent) last playthough. 20/15: 42 HP, 18 Mag, 20 Skl, 24 Spd, 10 Lk, 12 Def, 22 Res That playthrough also convinced me that he's kind of a disappointment stat wise, but he's still able to do the job fine once he has enough speed.

This was my Erk from my previous playthrough; Endgame’s preparation screen. 18 Mag at 20/9 is 1 point over his averages. He’s also ahead in Spd. He proceeded to +1 Mag after crit-Bolting a morph during the chapter, and I don’t recall the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L9999 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 How many random numbers do you idiots burn to get horrible level ups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soviet Cut Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Once I had the same problen with Serra, I've even used a guiding ring on her but she wasn't even capable of doing her job well. Sometimes the RNG just like screwing me up. Also, Erk generally gets some good points in Magic with with me but he's still subpar when compared to the other offensive magic users.

KKAfterbrun Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Erk's always been hit or miss with my runs. On one rare run, he was better then Pent. But most of the time, I bench him and wait for Pent to join for an Anima user. Erk's fate is always up to the RNG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy: Marquess of Pherae Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I try not invest in Erk because his base stats and growths don't fit the glass cannon mold so many mages benefit from in Fire Emblem. You have enough tanky mounted unites in the GBA games to protect your mages so if they aren't going to have a good damage output, why bother? Yeah, his speed is his only strong point, but it's not like it helps beyond an extra hit that's already somewhat guaranteed against the slow, low resistance units you're going to do chip damage against.
