Alastor15243 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Am I correct in my impression that none of the existing characters are mounted units that use bows? Jugdral has no representation yet so no Midir or Lester or such, none of the nomads from 6-7 seem to have been introduced, and since it looks like this game uses base classes and doesn't assume any radical change upon promotion, that discounts 3DS game bow knights as well. Am I wrong? Did I miss one somewhere, or is it indeed currently impossible to pull a mounted archer hero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand_Of_The_Exalt Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) For now, it seems to be the case. Let's hope we'll get one, cause they seem broken. I never thought I was going to say this before, but I want Astrid in my team. Edited February 10, 2017 by Brand_Of_The_Exalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounted bow users would be really cool, but it may be a balance reason we haven't gotten any. Can you imagine a slightly worse Takumi, but with 3 move to make up for it?

The Geek Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yeah, I really want some horse archers. Gimme Astrid, Rath, or Shin pls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 For some reason, they always seem to have insanely high Atk. You'd think a ranged unit with the highest mobility would have average to low Atk to balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounted bows have an effective range of 5. I honestly hope that the next batch has one (whether it be Astrid or Sedgar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure when we'll get Tellius units, and I'd be surprised if Astrid was one of the first released. We could have Shin, Rath, or Sue, but I'm not sure how popular they are. But we did get Barst and old Bartre, so maybe they'll make it in for weapon diversity, if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I was just thinking about this...I guess it's a balance thing. Not like they didn't have candidates to use: Elibe has all the Nomads, and Akaneia has Wolf, Sedgar, and Castor that they could have used.

There's a couple Mage Knights available, so keeping 5 range units away from players doesn't seem to be an absolute intention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Wolves Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I was talking to Eclipse about a Midir/Midayle concept I had. Imagine a Bow Knight that was pretty much guaranteed to double attack every turn with a Brave Bow... Yeah, we decided my concept was to strong and will probably never be made.

Ah, PoR is one of the three FE games I haven't play yet, so I just know she is terrible in RD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 While there are some mounted characters with magic, it seems to just be Leo, Cecilia, Clarine, and Elise so far. Clarine and Elise are primarily healers, and Cecilia seems very weak: mine has 9 Spd and 9 Def at about LV20. So ranged cavalry is still very restricted, and there isn't a blue tome one either.

Cecilia isn't that bad, maybe you just got level ups heavily distributed to the upper levels? She's not stellar though, which is a shame because she has great skills.

Alpha Wolves Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Robin is actually quite good and can counter Takumi effectively. lol. That being said, he originally had Quick Repose instead of Attack Plus. He has Pursuit and Charge in the game, meaning he should be good with follow-up attacks in this game. But something just didn't feel right about Quick repose being on a character like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson707 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Does quick riposte even synergize with a brave weapon? Both for if any unit has both of these and how it would work in the player phase, and how useful it would be on the enemy phase if player phase dosen't get a boost (or even a hinderance.)

Alpha Wolves Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 @goodperson707 The unit would get 2 attacks as long as they are above the health threshold, but they wouldn't get the brave attacks. Its why I said it doesn't feel like it would fit his theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
