Shiki Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Ranking them from Top to Worst: Hector (not only does he subvert the typical expectation of a noble Lord but he also has some of the best development in the series) Marth (pretty much my standard for every Lord; he also has the most growth among on them, having 2 entire games to earn himself his title as a Hero, making it more deserved than others) Ike (character-wise he is about as interesting as a blank canvas; that being said his journey from mercenary to Hero is told pretty well. RD turns him into some kind of legendary figure, which eliminates what little personality he had before which sours my opinion of him a bit.) Roy/Eliwood (both him and Roy are pretty neutral characters and don't really stand out much compared to the other Lords. Roy mimicks Marth in his achievements while Eliwood has his own personal journey during Blazing Blade) Alm (unlike some vocal critics I don't mind Alm that much, especially in comparision to Ephraim. If anything I like his rather normal personality and while facing little-to-no consequences during Gaiden/SoV he is more flawed than Ephraim, has more doubts and reflects on his decisions more than him.) Celica (I have a soft spot for her due to being a relatively well-written, flawed character. Her Echoes counterpart unfortunately undermines that with adding Eirika's naivety to her which was a stupid decision) Chrom (I liked him; like most things in Awakening before the time-skip. After that he is just there as someone that needs to be kept alive and only at the finale he gains some relevance as being able to slay Grima. A shame because the contrast between him and Walhart could have been fleshed out so much more for some interesting development) Ephraim (literally Mr. Perfect; His recklessness can't even be attributed as a flaw when he manages to conquer an entire military nation with a small escort. He is pretty much what I dislike seeing in a Lord; he never questions his actions and never has to answer for them either. It makes him a very static character that has no growth and doesn't make him interesting in any way.) Eirika (she is way too naive and it's very apparent in that one infamous scene with Lyon. Aside from that she isn't particularly interesting as a character and largely overshadowed by her brother as the hero of the story, making overall a disappointing Lord.) Micaiah (You thought Ephraim was stupid with his plot armor. Micaiah takes that armor and builds an entire tank out of it. She is the most gifted Lord excluding Corrin, resulting in almost religious worship by her peers and victories that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Even worse she gets some of the most ridicilous saves in Fire Emblem but that's more how Radiant Dawn constructed its awful plot.) Lyn (the forgotten Lord; yeah that sums her up nicely. FE7 has some really bad plot at times and the entirety of Lyn's inclusion past her own story is one of them.) Corrin (this abomination of a character shall be synonymous with being the worst Lord for all eternity! Seriously if Three Houses manages to be worse then we have reached the end times) I'm excluding Judgral since I have zero experience with that series. Based on what I read though Leif and Sigurd would be high on my list while Seliph stays somewhere in the middle.

Based on what I read I guess Leif and Sigurd would be high on my list while Seliph stays somewhere in the middle. At least the Micaiah's plot armor is easier to explain; Ephraim just survives because WOLOLO sheningans. I had always have a... weird perspective of Hector... I think he's cool and everything... but I'm not into his hype for some reason... I guess is because I associate the like for that character with certain kind of fans.

Dayni Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm doing kind of tiers here, it'll be confusing. Spoiler Character: Misery builds best lord: Leif Kind of above the tier below: Eliwood, Hector, Marth, Alm, Celica Kind of constant, nothing exceptional development wise (This is not a dislike mind): Sigurd, Seliph, Chrom, Eirika, Robin, Lyn Might just be too perfectly written: Roy, Ephraim Don't tell me to like 'em: Kris, Corrin No opinion yet: Ike, Michiah Spoiler Unit: Sigurd: Sigurd OC is OP: Kris, Robin, Corrin Gaiden lords are strangely good: Alm, Celica Range is a great boon: Hector, Ephraim Eh without promotion, much better after: Seliph, Chrom, Eliwood (Note that Seliph and Chrom aren't bad to begin with) Consistency? What's that?: Marth, Leif Sword lords and their lack of range: Lyn, Eirika Just.... Why so bad?: Roy No opinion yet: Ike (Though what I've played of PoR so far has my army Res blessed, Ike's not doing badly aside from Defence), Michiah Spoiler Also, should I count these people (Probably not, but still)? Anyone I'm missing? Caeda Julia Deirdre Lewyn Oifey Shannan Nanna Finn Eyvale Lilina L’Arachel Innes Elincia Katarina Lucina Azura I am also willing to count Arvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Robin isn’t a lord, and neither is Kris. I didn’t list Alfonse and Sharena thanks to their lack of characterisation in Heroes; same with Rowan and Lianna in Warriors. Sadness. Marth > Seliph > Lucina > Leif > Eirika > Celica > Micaiah > Eliwood > Roy > Sigurd > Lyn > Corrin > Hector > Alm > Ephraim > Ike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I forgot someone. Somewhere around Eliwood-Roy-Sigurd camp, I guess? I don’t mind him at all. His brash tendencies are well-counteracted by his dorkiness. Keep in mind that the pre-Alm group is all pretty close in my opinion of them; Hector is the watershed between positive and negative.

Sharena is the cutest princess. However, her personality is sadly lacking and hasn’t progressed since the second of February, 2017. There are positive traits to him (his keen sense of court intrigue and obfuscation thereof, for example), but overall I find him overrated.

I dislike how suddenly became naive all of a sudden in the second last chapter of book 2 even though she learned to grow out of her naivety in the prologue with Katarina. I think Hector is the only popular lord that is deserving of his popularity and hence the only popular lord that I don't think is overrated. To each their own.

XRay Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) I am only going to judge lords that I have played and know well enough. Heroes!Anna: I love money, she loves money; we will be great together. She is also the Rightful Goddess and RNGesus. Make way, Naga! Lucina: Like all the children, she is strong and tough, but she is surprisingly also mentally and emotionally well balanced. She is also my waifu, so bias plays a role too. F!Robin: Smart, powerful, beautiful, responsible, believes in the power of friendship, and perfect. She is also a fell goddess. M!Robin: Smart, powerful, handsome, responsible, believes in the power of friendship, and perfect. He is also a smooth talking lady killer, and who does not want to be like that? Sharena: She is cheery and a joy to be around, and she also believes in the power of friendship. Lyn Eirika Celica Ephraim: He could crush Grado with a small force of soldiers. Alm Alfonse Chrom Hector Eliwood F!Corrin M!Corrin Edited November 19, 2018 by XRay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book Bro Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 9 hours ago, Roland said: If I may ask, why is Lyn so beloved? Generally it's because she was the first character many FE fans met and the way she's introduced is very 'personal' so it's easy to grow fond of her I think, since she talks directly to you and leads you through the prologue. I know people don't like the prologue and how she doesn't participate as much in the main story, but I like her story even if it's short and while it doesn't develop the themes too much I found her interesting as a biracial character who struggles with what it means for her identity. I would love for her story to get expanded in a remake and for her to be more involved in the main plot. It also helps that she had flashy animations and a cool class, even if in practice it isn't the best, but when I was 13 and playing my first FE I didn't notice too much. Even now that I've played the other games I still find her to be one of the most likeable and relatable lords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marth > Seliph > Lucina > Leif > Eirika > Celica > Micaiah > Eliwood > Roy > Sigurd > Lyn > Corrin > Hector > Alm > Ephraim > Ike. Robin's a Lord. They're a Lord of an evil cult, but it counts. Kinda similar to Micaiah's situation(Though she's the proper heir to the throne of Begnion and all that). Plus it's a game over when Robin dies, so they count. I guess Kris technically also counts, buuuuut... Nothing special about Kris' status in the world.

I mean, literally every single part of Awakening's story is ultimately about Robin, indirectly for Gangrel(Who is being backed and influenced by Robin's father and sister) and Walhart(Who is acting in preperation for Grima, who is also Robin). And then the final chunk of the game is all Robin, and Robin's the only one who can kill the final boss. The first few parts of the game put a thin veil around it, but the last part lifts the veil and it becomes pretty obvious that the game has been about Robin the whole time. Chrom got some focus and growth dealing with Gangrel, but he's ultimately just a piece of Robin's game. Plus, if we're going based on how involved in the plot a unit is to determine if they're a Lord or not, Lucina's really not much of a Lord. Once it's fully revealed who she is(About 1/3 of the way through the game), she kind of fades from the spotlight, aside to occasionally chime in and remind everyone of how shitty her timeline is. Hell, Lucina can be lost as a unit and it won't game over. She'll still be around, but not even the game seems to really consider her a Lord. Even Lyn causes a game over.

PickleKnight97 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Of the stuff I've played (3DS games and Warriors)... Lucina Celica ...Warriors!Corrin, I guess (I think the Warriors version did a good job of making her feel like her own entity, I find there to be a lot of potential with writing her however you want, so... yeah. She ends up so high up because she kinda is blank, I guess lol) Chrom (he's... there. Definitely indisputably there.) Robin (is he really a lord? And the Fates Royals aren't?) Marth (I should probably play SD because my main impression of him thus far is "ZOMG ITS MARTH" "heh, yeah, it's me!") Alm Edited December 1, 2018 by PickleKnight97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyla Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Favourite: 1) Ike Love them to bits: 2) Micaiah 3) Eliwood 4) Celica 5) Ephriam Like them a lot: 6) Eirika 7) Alm 8) Hector 9) Sigurd Neutral: 10) Leif 11) Chrom & Lyn Hate them: 12) Lucina&Seliph: Most of the 'Marth Archetype' is so platitudinous at this point. They just bore me. 13) Marth: Here, I would mention something I dislike about his personality... If he had one. 14) Roy: No explaintion needed. He's as bland as can be. There is literally nothing interesting about him. 15) Robin&Corrin: No explanation needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
