Destiny Hero Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 And I obviously wrote "Tethys" instead. Compared to how much I wanted Nils gills at times in BS, she's surprisingly completely unneeded in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Completely unneeded? Lol! Tethys is amazing. Any Dancer/Bard/Heron is a great addition to the team. Tethys is no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't ever make such mistakes. Luckily. And indeed, dancers are very nice, although Tethys isn't very spectacular, since all she can do is refresh one unit, and she only has 5 mov. If she would have rings, the ability to wield weapons, or rings or whatever kind of feature, she would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 meh @ ability to wield weapons It doesn't do much to deter enemies from attacking since she still has super low hp/def and would do garbage damage. Multiple refresh would be the best. Canto/re-move would also pwn massively. Ninian rings might also be w1n depending on uses/availability. Just having more move would also be nice... at least better than weapon-wielding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike-Mike Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 A friend of mine almost wrote "Maths test lv 5" instead of "no 5". Beat that! Tethys is a rather useful unit, it's just that there are many other units that are even better than her and you'd like to assign that one unit space you'd assign to Tethys to someone else.

Reikken Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I certainly wouldn't. Taking Tethys >> taking 11th best unit or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I make similar mistakes fairly often. Sometimes I'll "Musashi" when I meant "Marcus". Don't ask how I make that mistake. Anyway, Tethys isn't half bad. Dancer utility is nice, although I don't think she's as useful as many of the other dancers out there. Lara will always be my favorite dancer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Completely unneeded? Lol! Tethys is amazing. Any Dancer/Bard/Heron is a great addition to the team. Tethys is no different. Well for one thing, Tether can't fight, and is very fragile. All she can do is refresh a single unit, and she can't even do that well. Especially with her crappy 5 movement, if she's refreshing a nearby unit, they'll leave her in the dust that much faster. Every time I've ever used Tether, she was left behind because she couldn't catch up. Why move an uber unit twice every few turns, when you could be using two uber units?

TLSothe Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Tethys is good, but I preferred most other dancers/bards to her. Including Reyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cow-Cow Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I hate her, she has such crap movement that if she does refresh a unit it will take a couple of turns to catch up to them again. I play too agressively so I can't use her well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLSothe Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Low Movement isn't good, but she can be good if you slow down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny: spider bitten Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I find Dancers in every title except maybe 10 to be a bit overrated. Mostly because it's jnearly the same as using other units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I find Dancers in every title except maybe 10 to be a bit overrated. Mostly because it's jnearly the same as using other units. It's like having two of your best character instead of your worst character. It's another rescue, drop, heal (Since healers are generally limited), shove (in 9 and 10), item usage, etc. It can help one unit advance farther, especially on the first turn, than any character would normally be able to go. Amazing support class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I found that the best part of Tethys was how her A support with Gerik ended. If that's not a way to scream 'canon pairing' at an unsuspecting player, then I don't know what does! ;) But yeah, as a unit, Tethys had her uses. It was too bad she couldn't move very far at all.

Amazing support class. I understood the appeal in the class, though outside of 9 and 10(Which not only has a skill that vastly improves rescuing, but a much better mechanic for moving him and a better dancing ability) I don't quite feel that slowing down to use a unit that is supposed to help you beat chapters quicker is quite the logical construct it seems to be at first glance. And I'm the type that values low movement units. They don't exactly have the high tier stats that make them invincible either, so after you 'revive' the last unit near enough to you to keep your dancer safe, all you can rely on to use the dancer well is knowing where enemies come from before hand.

Tethys isn't a bad unit, but she's certainly not useful, either. Dancers are essentially "clones" of selected characters, but since Tethys can refresh one unit and only that, you're better bringing along someone who can actually do something. Her 5 MOV doesn't help, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 she's surprisingly completely unneeded in this game. You really go to be kiddding, Tethys is VERY, VERY useful, that way beated the Tower Of Valni faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Hero Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 An aggressive strategy is the better choice in in this game, which means Tethys bites the dust with her terrible move speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalis Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Miss ball and chain here gets perma benched after remembering that she really is of no use. I completely forget I even had a dancer after two chapters of her joining. She just takes up space on the battlefield for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Tethys is a rather useful unit, it's just that there are many other units that are even better than her and you'd like to assign that one unit space you'd assign to Tethys to someone else. Finally! Someone who agrees with me on what I said numerous times before. Edited November 19, 2008 by Black Luster Soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
