sandmanccl Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 What's your favorite unit that is commonly accepted as a bad character? Whether it be bad growths, poor start time, meaningless support options or what not. Maybe you had a guy with normally terrible gains get blessed in every area, or maybe you just think critics are overly harsh on them. Maybe even do it by a game-to-game basis. FE7: Rath. He rejoins a bit underleveled but has fantastic stat growths for his unit type. Horsemen than can move through trees uninhibited and use bows for long range excellence? I vote very yes. FE8: Dozla. People slam on him all the time but he's actually pretty good. On average, a level equivalent Ross (which won't happen without random encounter battles) only barely beats him in speed and defense but he's actually got worse growths in the area so a stat-screwed Ross probably won't catch up. (I've had it happen on several occasions.) I happen to like people who hit like a ton of bricks even if they aren't very good defensively. FE9: Elincia. Even if she never gains a single level, a 7-space moving canto unit that flies and can use staves is pretty awesome. Plus, she doesn't ever really take up a slot for "a better unit" because they pretty much give you an extra slot to use over the 10 they give you on average getting up to that point and she's required for a map or two. FE10: Where to start... Meg is great. She maxes things that generals classically have difficulty maxing, and because of that, bonus experience makes her freakin' beastly. The fact she's the second most defensively capable unit on the Dawn Brigade despite her 35% growth rate also factors in heavily. There's also Leonardo. Unique bow is unique (and classy.) Plus, Water affinity is arguably the best affinity for other units on the Dawn Brigade because a lot of them don't hit very hard initially and could use a defensive boost. All the archers end up pretty much the same but he's got a few intangibles going his way. Then there's Tauroneo. Default resolve so it doesn't take any capacity? Even with his slightly worse gains than the other marshals, that more than makes up for it because once he gets to half health, he's next to invincible and is actually quite speedy.

Florete Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nino and Karla. Karla just because I like her, Nino because I've found her to be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonBladeSniper Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Rath is considered good. I guess Karel... because I like my swordmasters XD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) FE6: Ray in normal mode (and non-ranked) cause of Noseferatu. FEDS: Sheeda. I said it before and I'll say it again: Her wing spear and speed makes 85% of the bosses in the game look like pussies.

sandmanccl Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Rath is considered good. All I've ever heard is "he's terrible because he joins underleveled and is locked to bow until promotion and has bad supports" from the goon squad in the FE7 section. I think he's pretty good.

Florete Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think Rath is pretty good too. His joining conditions aren't very good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) All I've ever heard is "he's terrible because he joins underleveled and is locked to bow until promotion and has bad supports" from the goon squad in the FE7 section.I think he's pretty good. You're not alone right there. And I think I may know who you mean by "the goon squad". *Isn't gonna name any people*EDIT: However, I do agree with Fox on his rejoining time not being very good.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 FE6: Ray in normal mode (and non-ranked) cause of Noseferatu. Ray is good regardless which mode you play. But Karel would be my favorite "bad unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 My all time favorite suck unit to use is Marisa. I used her more than Joshua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ray is good regardless which mode you play. He's pretty meh on hard mode. Not horrible, but certainly not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well he's obviously better than Niime and Sophia. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanum Tuberosum Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well, I've never really remember using any "Bad" characters except Nino, who I found very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My all time favorite suck unit to use is Marisa. I used her more than Joshua. I am pretty much in the same boat as you. I have never liked Joshua, mainly because I got unlucky with him one time too many (Dodge them axes damn you). Marisa on the other hand, I love to pair with Gerik.

Reikken Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Well he's obviously better than Niime and Sophia. <_< of course, but that's not saying much. At all. Even the second worst unit in the game is better than the worst one. Danved for favorite sucky unit. or Cath Edited October 30, 2008 by Reikken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalkerPizza Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) FE7: Nino - She is a freaking magic beast. FE8: I can't think of any. FE9: Mist/Elincia - I don't understand why they "suck" because they are the best damn healers in the game. FE10: Tormod - If actually trained, he is awesome. FEDS: Minerva and Maria: They are my favorite characters. Minerva can be decent with item spam and Maria is good.

Kintenbo Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Let's see, I often use Lilina on Normal Mode. I really like Devdan and Dozla, for personality reasons. At least Danved is pretty of amazing. Ok, so he pales in comparison to both Aran and the Neph, who cares? I'm also becoming increasingly fond of long haired Lucia. I'm not sure if Magical Linda is considered a bad character in the DS Fire Emblem, but I'll still like her if she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalkerPizza Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Linda is like Nino except comes earlier; If she is trained, she will own any unit on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Think of Linda as FEDS's Lilina as FE6 and FEDS are quite alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordsalmon Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 FE9: Mist/Elincia - I don't understand why they "suck" because they are the best damn healers in the game. Don't read Gamefaqs for opinons on Mist; she is the best healer in FE9. Elincia is awful, however. I find it funny that sandy's favourite bad characters are among the worst in their games. Though I like using Ronan and Lillina in ranked runs, and they are truly terrible. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I guess FE9 Elincia because she's a flying healer with an unlimited brave sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Tyler Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) FE1 and 3's Minerva. People think she's bad because she's promoted, bad stats and what not, but I find her good to use.
