Pikappa93 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Gray: definitely Mercenary. Tobin: Archer. But in my last Gaiden playthrough he also worked well as a Cavalier, but I'm afraid that was just a blessed Tobin (he got incredible level ups). Kliff: Mage. Faye: I think I'll go for Pegasus Knight just because Clair was the only one on Alm's route. However, it seems Faye would also be an amazing Cleric... veeery difficult decision. Atlas: I went for Archer in Gaiden, and I think I will for Echoes too. I don't think any other class would fit him well, apart from Attack, his other stats are not that good.

Alm's side gets quite a few and as for Celica, I think most people would prefer something more mobile than another soldier. (although Atlas's growths might benefit more from that IMO).

Alm's side is the only one to get the warp skill just like in the original, while Armor Knights have commonly available anti armor skills in the enemy forces to look out for now.

Shadowess Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 no plan except gray as mercenary and tobin as an archer but this may change when the game comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stewart Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Gonna go with the "classic" promotions for the original 3 Alm villagers. So Archer for Tobin, mage for Kliff, and Merc for Grey. Faye will probably go Pegasus Knight. And I have no idea what I'll do with Atlas. I'm thinking either mage or archer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarbaque Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Besides making Faye a cleric, I need to go with the classics. Merc!Gray Cav!Robin Mage!Cliff Bench!Atlus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Lukas, Forsyth, and Valbar basically run the gamut of armors that anyone actually needs in this game. on the other hand, giving Alm a Merc and Celica a Cav seems obvious. The other villagers can just fill in the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus our mystery masked dude seems to be playable and a paladin, so that's no longer a deficiency on her route.

Emperor Hardin Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I wonder if the class growths effect the player characters or just the generics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kynimdraws Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Using Atlas as a Merc/Dread Fighter has done wonders, esp with the speed boost and his natural str making him a hard hitter even more so than Saber and Deen...it also made Celica's team become a harem of mage killers ffff As for the rest... Faye: Cleric Then the bench Grey: Mercenary Kliff: Mage Tobin: Archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRed Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I'm gonna change all of them to archer along with anybody else that can reclass ... Edited April 10, 2017 by RiverRed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 1 hour ago, RiverRed said: I'm gonna change all of them to archer along with anybody else that can reclass ... So everyone but Alm and Celica. Good luck with them horrible hit rates. For me I'm going Merc!Grey, Archer!Tobin, Mage!Kliff and Cav!Faye (I would go Peg!Faye, but that would help reinforce her as a Cordelia clone. Also Cav!FAye has seemed to have been in promos more). Gonna wait for a while to see what I'll do with Atlas and see what promos put him as. Though I may go Merc.

ZoeTrent Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Gray: Soldier Kliff: Merc Tobin: Dunno. Maybe Bench? Maybe Mage or Archer. Maybe Dirt. Good chance of killing him eventually for Gray's tragedy end. Might be better to to kill him in the last battle or at least wait a while though so it comes out of nowhere. Faye: Peg or Cleric. Leaning towards peg. Atlas: Mage or maybe Archer or Cavalier. Leaning toward mage for shiggles though.

Njalmer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Gray: Mercenary or Mage Kliff: Mage (He's the only male who learns 6 spells, he's to good to pass up in this role for me) Tobin: Archer or Mage Faye: Cleric, since they look godly in this game. Atlas: Mage, his updated growth rates look pretty passable. Also, High HP and High Strength makes him a pretty good Rescue-bot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned earlier, Soldiers weren't improved and were arguably worsened in Shadows of Valentia. They only get a halve bow damage skill, while still having to deal with significantly worse movement, no warp users on Celica's route, and now anti armor skills. They didn't even get Pavise which is something all classes can acquire instead. Edited April 17, 2017 by Emperor Hardin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class Growths are for player characters, too, I think. Mostly since anybody but Alm and Celica can become Villagers. 8 hours ago, Iridium said: It's almost like four of them (including one who cannot become one period) join at the same time as honorary villager Lukas, and the fifth is plagued by critical issues that Soldier does not resolve. I don't think @Emperor Hardin was trying to be sarcastic or take a tone of disappointment. It is genuinely no surprise that nobody is picking Soldier because Soldier is the worst option for all of the Villagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I'm going to be unoriginal with the original villagers, but I'm very torn on Faye. I can see the merit of both another Pegasus Knight and another Cleric. Maybe I'll just go for the Cleric option to ease off on the lance demand in Alm's army and to make Faye live in celibacy, not that it matters, mwhaha.

Wayward Alchemist Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Tbh though in the trailer Grey looked really fuckin cool as a Soldier and Knight and I'll probably go with an All Soldiers + Alm run in Alm's route at some point. Uniting Valentia, four tiles at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderstar Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Gray : Mercenary Kliff : Mage Tobin : Archer Atlas : Mercenary They are the same classes I used for them in Gaiden and it seems that they are still the best classes for them. At first I planned to promote Atlas into a Cavalier since Celica's route didn't have one but now thanks to Conrad, I will once again promote him into a Mercenary. I also think that the mercenary class fits him well design wise. For Faye I am hesitating between Pegasus Knight and Cleric. Pegasus Knight has much better movement, Falko Knight is strong against the monsters and Clair is the only canon one in Alm's route. The main problem is that we mainly meet monsters in the dungeons in Alm's route so I am not sure if that's quite useful to promote her into one. Also it seems that now we need to use their weapon skills to defeat more easily the monsters. Until Tatiana and without counting the mages' promotions Silk is our only cleric and healer in the Alm's route so Cleric Faye would be useful. Since healing now gives exp unlike Gaiden, it would probably help Silk and Faye to level up and promote quite faster. Silk can't have the Physic spell so Faye would be quite useful in the early game. Since Atlas would be a mercenary, Faye is the only rescue spell user and also the only Again spell user. Even if these spells might spend a lot of HPs, at this point of the game, it shouldn't be a problem thanks to the other Saints, Sages and Delthea being able to heal. Not sure if I would abuse Again as much as the Dance action in the other games though. Edited April 17, 2017 by Thunderstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
