Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 As the topic title says it all. Who is the best? Personally, I pick Marcus of all three because he comes on the very first chapter and makes the best meatshield for the early part. I like Percival because he's cool and all. He's probably pretty much the best Pre-promote in this game mainly due to HM bonus and solid base stats around, but the fact he join's later makes his existence negated by you other potential Cavaliers/Paladins...

Florete Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Percival for me. Marcus has some use early game, but not too much, and Zealot sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well, Marcus is a good meatshield, but his bases are poor to the point where he'll probably get outclassed in about 7 or 8 chapters IIRC... Zealot is self-explanatory, but Percival has good bases and decent enough growths for him to last. I'd place Percival as the best, but Marcus does have his uses.

Kintenbo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Duuuuuuuuuurr, Zealot! Ok, so maybe Percival, for actually starting and staying good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Duuuuuuuuuurr, Zealot! Now tell me, what could you possibly do with Zealot when you first recruit him when playing a HM run? He could barley touch an enemy at all.

He could barley touch an enemy at all. what'syourfavoritecolor? Uuuuuuum, purple! I was obviously joking. If nothing else, he does help out with fighting off that Treck hating Wyvern Rider. You'll have to recruit him first for him to even attack the jerk, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glenn Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The start of Hard Mode would likely be insanely difficult if you didn't use Marcus, so he does have merit in that. However, while I don't really prefer to use any of them, the trophy would have to go to Percival on this one. (And, at least he's more (albeit slightly, IMO) of an interesting character than Marcus.)

Ϲharlie Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Marcus is insanely helpful in the first few chapters, which is the most difficult part of the game. Maybe I'm just not very good, but I don't think I would have even made it through chapter one on hard mode without him. Zealot is more or less an improved version of Marcus, only he joins seven chapters into the game. Last up is Percival, who I think is the only one of the three that can hold his own later on. Hard mode bonuses make him pretty awesome, although his support list is kind of "blah". Overall, Percival wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Now tell me, what could you possibly do with Zealot when you first recruit him when playing a HM run?

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Percival for not sucking for majority of the game (possibly the whole game). Marcus makes getting through the first few chapters easier, then after that, he starts to suck. Zealot sucks 100%. It was pointless to put him in like that if you ask me.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Wtf? He's the best unit you have in ch 7. Are you kidding me? Zealot is completely unusable. How is he the best in Chapter 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikken Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) His stats are higher than those of anyone else recruited thus far. Suggesting that he's unusable is completely absurd. Edited November 15, 2008 by Reikken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Okay maybe I was over exaggerating a little. He's pretty usable I have to admit. But that doesn't change the fact that he can't kill enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Raven Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If he can't kill them, then let someone else finish them off. It's a boon if he can almost kill them, since you don't want him killing in the first place. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can double things, use a steel sword without AS loss, use axes, and perhaps most importantly, he can tank.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hmmmm...I never thought about that right until now. The only reason why I think Zealot is not great is because I'm stuck with using Marcus more. I guess I could give him a chance. :E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Percival for not sucking, though Marcus and Zealot have early-game utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliSoul Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) Percival is the natural best... He's younger..and looks more agile and serious. Marcus is just old, but very strong. Zealot...is ok...I guess...if you have nothing else to train... Edited November 16, 2008 by EliSoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Percival actually has good bases/stats, unlike his fellow prepromotes. The only thing Marcus and Zealot have are, as Ninji stated, early-game utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
