geozeldadude Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 i've been super indecisive about which units to promote to 5*, but one thing i think will be a factor is if the unit gains something really unique at 5*, e.g. a new weapon or a brand-new skill (and not just an upgrade of a 4* skill). the one i can think of offhand is merric, who gains excalibur which is effective against fliers. i'm sure there must be others, but i haven't noticed any except for obvious ones like roy and marth. anyone know of any?

Magical Glace Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Anyone with a legendary weapon is the most obvious thing. A free level 2 passive or other effect attached to a 16 might weapon is no joke, though some legendary weapons are better than others (Sieglinde is much better than the Binding Blade for instance).

Cordelia gains Galeforce. I think the other Galeforce users are only available at 5* in the first place. Likewise, Chrom gains Aether. The personal special weapons ones are: Roy, Chrom, Marth, MCorrin, Eliwood, Seliph, Eirika, Reinhardt, Merric, Jeorge, Xander, Zephiel, Michalis...

MaskedAmpharos Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Basically anyone with a personal weapon. In alphabetical order, those units are: Alfonse Anna Chrom Corrin (M) Eirika Eliwood Marth Merric Michalis Reinhardt Roy Seliph Sharena Xander Zephiel There are others with prf weapons as well, like Lucina or Ephraim, but those units are only pullable at 5* and aren't relevant to this thread.

DLNarshen Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Eirika, Reinhardt, and Xander in particular go from being bad/mediocre to top tier instantly with a 5* promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediocreLee Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I will always rep for anyone who has a 4* Kagero to upgrade her to 5*. She's been a really useful Hero that has helped with multiple Arena battles. Cordelia is also a good unit to use, she does gain Galeforce which may or may not be useful depending on your team. But like others have said, 5* exclusive personal weapons as well as skills are nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New skills in general: That's most of the cast. Whether or not it's useful is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsilas Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Definitely Reinhardt, Eliwood and Xander. After raising them to level 40 star, they've been meh at best. Upgrading Xander and Reinhardt was the best decision I made. Xander is a special case because for some reason both of his skills can only be maxed out at 5 star (but even then he probably wants inherited skills anyway) 4 star Reinhardt was overshadowed by Ursula anyway.

Troykv Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Reinhardt is probably the units that gains the most with a promotion (Goad Armor and Dire Thunder... DT helps him so hard that he stops being a mediocre unit and becomes a god-like). Special mention for any character that gets Distant Counter after promotions (Aka: Xander and Camus).

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Aside from Personal weapon(Eliwood is the most jarring in that 5* Eliwood gets around 12 extra attack on transition) Life and Death 3 is 5* only Brave Weapon user got an insane power jump at 5 due to brave mechanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
