Florete Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It depends on the game. 4: Swords are the best 6: None... 7: Axes are my favorite 8: Lances are my favorite 9: Axes 10: Lances So a tie between axes and lances for me. With the exception of 4, those are all just favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSu Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I've always like Axes. I've personally had no problems hitting with axes unless the enemy had some crazy avoid( maybe Lloyd). They've got that power I always look for. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 -Axes are cheaper than any weapons when you purchase it.-Axes give 1~2 range. -Axes are stronger than any weapon. -Axes give Weapon Triangle Advantage more often than even swords ever will. -Slayer axes can easily OHKO things. Of course Axes are the best weapons, by far. So yes, I definitely agree with this statement 100%. Don't really need to explain as I already established this. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 NONE! Because it's a triangle like rock, paper, scissors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Swords dominate most of the earlier games, but I'd say that axes win overall. They're only truly bad in Genealogy (where there is only one worthwhile axe) and Gaiden (where axemen aren't even intended for the player).

Defeatist Elitist Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Favorite is Axe/Lance, especially the latter, as they tend to be horribly under represented in Fantasy. :D Best, well. FE4: Swords are because Axes have WTFMassive Weight And FE6-10: Axes :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oguma Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The awesome third option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_Fimbulvetr Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm going to have to say swords after playing FE6 again. Can't hit anything at all in that game... That, and swords always get the neat specialised weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Poleax Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Axes for sure. Any axe user with enough speed will have no trouble one rounding enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I say lance. I play FETO alot now, and I find lances to be the most balanced. They can easily overpower any sword-wielding non-armour unit, whereas swords are weak and axes have trouble hitting most sword units. In terms of the games, the lance has always been my favourite. I've always viewed swords as weak, no matter how strong they may actually get, and axe users are many a time low-skilled characters. Lances are also the primary weapons of cavaliers, one of my favourite classes. Sword-users are usually low-defense units, and the accuracy they lose against lances isn't impressive. Axe-users are usually low-skill or low-speed, and combined with their weight, become annoying weapons to use. So lances become my favourite.

Raven Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Axes of course. It doesn't matter if a unit is a bit strength screwed, because the power of an axe can make up for it. Low accuracy maybe, but in the hands of the right unit *coughRavencough* they're deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Neither axes nor lances can be concealed within a doublet. Therefore, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Lances are statistically the best weapon type. Though I'm also speaking from an FETO point of view where enemies actually have hit, as well as avoid.

Mekkah Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 FE4: swords, since everything else kills your Avo FE5: swords, since this game's everything has shitty hit, and you can use them indoors with nearly everyone FE6: swords, again because of shitty hit, though axes are better against lategame dudes FE7: axes, since enemies have shitty Avo, making power and 1-2 range cooler FE8: axes, for the same reason FE9: axes FE10: axes yeah...

Rei Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 With the FE Games, swords and axes, but just saying. In general -_-;. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Swords dominate most of the earlier games, but I'd say that axes win overall. They're only truly bad in Genealogy (where there is only one worthwhile axe) and Gaiden (where axemen aren't even intended for the player). Don't forget FE1, due to characters having terrible Hit.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Axes dood! They're the best in most FEs dood! Edited November 18, 2008 by Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Ostrich Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 FE1: Swords FE2: dunno FE3: Swords FE4: Swords FE5: Not sure. Special weapons > all, but the Pugi > all (or most) special weapons so it's hard to say. FE6: Axes FE7: Axes FE8: Axes FE9: Axes FE10: Axes FEDS: So I've been told, Axes Lances range from okay to really bad. But they're never the best since swords are axes are never so unbalanced that being the 'middle of the road' is better than one of the extremes. And in fact, Lances typically become worse than both because they're not powerful enough to make up for their poor hit and high weight.

Fia Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 My favorite would be Sword. Since I'm so biased to FE4. >_> FE3: Sword FE4: SWORD FE5: Sword FE6: Balanced (I prefer magic) FE7: Sword (though it come pretty much tight with Lance and Axe) FE8: Lance FE9: Sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Axes, especially in the Telleus Fire Emblems! The high weight won't mean much later in those games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
