Fabulously Olivier Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) 11 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: RD was particularly nice to SMs via a tiny bit of endgame liking their extra Spd, and buyable physical Wind Edges solving Swordlock. As for the general audience liking SMs, it's a combination of: Don't play "efficiently"/LTC so turn counts = "who cares?" and Move is therefore not so important. Same "who cares" means the Swordlock isn't a problem in the games where it is one. A lack of concern about consistency, so the "high" yet still only 20-60 at most Crit rates are awesome. When for more "advanced" players outside of FE6 and RNG rigging, those Crit rates are only okay because they're still too unreliable. Defensively, the dodgetankiness of SMs is loved more because here too, because there is less concern about consistency? And when you playing less efficiently, it becomes easier to build up dodgetankiness? -I'm less sure of this reason. "Performance" at the end of the day is: consistency, speed, and as few "unwise" investments as possible to allow for "wise" investment of resources in other units. Performance assumes averages, performance assumes no biases against any unit's personality and character. They're the criterion of an elite, if sincerely benevolently intended to help guide the masses as well. Oh, don't get me wrong. I get why that is, though I'd add that the most important reason is "they're badass." Swordmasters and halberdiers happen to be personal favorites, whereas I have little attachment to the more efficient pegasus knights. I'm not an effienciency player. I'm all about favoritism. I've never even used Marcia in PoR (or RD) despite knowing she's good. But I will use Nephenee, Aran, and Leonardo every time, despite understanding that they aren't. Though even for a swordmaster, PoR Mia is pretty bad. And the reason for that is pitiful strength. Even if you do put in the resources to make her work (which is pretty doable in PoR), she has such a high possibility of being stat screwed. Whereas say... Zihark or Stefan are quite reliable.

Troykv Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 RD is probably one of the best games to be a SM outside of FE6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, why did I even invest in her all these times when she isn't much better than a no-invest Tana? And Ephraim gets that early Cormag who can Pure Water his Res to Vanessa's unadulterated levels, with significantly more HP, and comparable AS b/c Pegs have no Con. I recall someone telling me Vanessa needs the early statboosters to start rolling, not unlike FE7 Florina actually, but I've seen the hype of Florina realized more often. Even though I still usually use Vanessa too, despite being not so amazing, because fliers are nice.

Now Lucia and Astrid, on the other hand, are hella fine. As for her performance as a unit, yes, she's overrated in Path of Radiance (though she's actually quite the beast in Radiant Dawn). But then, swordmasters in general seem to skew far more positively with general players than their actual performance should allow. It’s the crit animations. Swordmasters have pretty impressive crits. Lucia and Astrid I’ll give you but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I find Mia to be very plain in look and design.

Exceedingly difficult to train and frustrating to use. From a character standpoint, she doesn’t have a lot going on. I can only conclude she’s popular because pretty and even then, come on! Even in her own title there are girls way cuter than her! (Points at Nephenee, Elimcia, and Cahill) This post a million times over. I also agree that Elincia is way prettier than Mia (Callil is too, actually. Nephenee...yeah, I guess she also is. But hard to say when she covers half her face with her helmet all the time). Elincia is way more awesome in general. Mia is so boring imo. I never understood her popularity either. I also don't understand Micaiah's. She's so underwhelming both as a character and as a unit. She gets doubled and killed so easily because her Spd and Def suck, so it's so hard to keep her alive. And her writing is kind of all over the place to me. It's just not good. And she's shoved aside by Yune later, allowing Ike to still get the most focus. And as big a fangirl of Ike as I am, his focus should've been more equal to Micaiah's, or even a bit less. Micaiah should've had some more focus than she did and maybe her writing would be better. Edited November 14, 2019 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Spikes isn't that great unless you really, really, REALLY hate cavalry units (which I don't find to be all that dangerous, especially compared to Swordmasters and Assassins). Luna is situational, frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Locked promotion, iffy atk due to low sword might, infantry, lack of 1 range). tbh I'm inclined to say he's worse than them (if we consider Hector Mode anyway), since at least they get a mount on promotion and being unmounted isn't as bad as in PoR for obvious reasons. -Boyd (RD) always struck me as basically trash, those speed/def bases are unacceptable (Rolf has more speed and he's Level 1!) and the niche of high atk is badly crowded out on the Greil Mercenaries (Haar, Titania, Ike, Gatrie... all of whom have more str base than him anyway). If people didn't have an attachment to him from PoR I suspect he'd be almost universally benched. -Most myrmidons (exceptions: Rutger, RD Zihark/Mia) but especially the PoR ones. -Takumi definitely got this early in Fates' life though it felt like that evaporated with time. Yeah, he's less bad than the average Sniper, but that doesn't make him great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also more incentive to actually give him resources and level him in a game where this is also much easier and more efficient to do.

To be fair to Ike, there is more reason to invest in him than there is the other two you mentioned. Like the fact that he's one of the few units that can damage the final boss, for example. Also, I don't see locked promotion to be that bad for him because most of your units won't be promoting until around the time he does anyway, as opposed to, say, Eirika, who only gets to enjoy her horse for the last quarter of her game.

Honestly the better comparison is with Roy, with the way they both stay a sword-locked infantry in cavalry friendly games, with this awesome extremely late game sword that fixes 1-2 range, and has special text that gives it a huge advantage against the final boss. The big differences are Ike gets his story promotion at an actually reasonable time, and is in an easier game (at least in US/PAL regions), which makes him less miserable to use in the mid to early late game.

Let me crunch the numbers now: Base Ena: 20 Str 15 Spd (I can safely assume she'll hit and survive being hit by Ashnard even below half health). Resolve increases these to 30/22. Transformation bonuses raise these to 35/26? Two Speedwings (and Bryce drops one thankfully) bumps the Spd to 32. One Energy Drop bring it to 38 Str. Red Breath raises it to 48 Atk. Ashnard has 35 Def in both phases. The phases have 27 and then 28 Spd. 60 and 80 HP respectively. 48 - 35 = 13 * 3 = 39 damage per Crit. Ashnard heals for a mere 6-8 HP per turn. 39 * 2 (just barely with the two 'wings) = dead phase one, phase two barely survives. But Ike or your Royal of choice can fix that with a chip. Or a second Energy Drop. I see, know what you're doing, and Ike isn't so necessary after all on Hard. Ena might as well get Resolve and the Bryce Speedwing in the absence of Ike then, since they're purely for vanity on anyone else in how late they come. And if you don't need Ashnard slain so soon, you can give someone else Wrath, Ena can win the attrition war without it. 1 hour ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Additionally if the Demon Dragon Stone that was programed into the Binding Blade was actually used, Roy and his Binding Blade would almost be mandatory for that fight. Assuming the stone bonuses weren't for a Manakete Idunn with lower stats than she currently has.

samthedigital Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'm not sure why we're comparing Ike to Roy (honestly any other lord really, he's not that similar to any other lord in the series). Even if their stats are similar forges, bonus exp, and enemies change quite a lot. Supports are also more relevant, and Ike has great support bonuses. Quote And if you don't need Ashnard slain so soon, you can give someone else Wrath, Ena can win the attrition war without it. Wrath isn't exactly useful anywhere else besides trying to use it to beat the BK, so it's just better to use it against whoever is dealing with Ashnard.

Thyrsus on a Dark knight>Thyrsus on a gremory, and hubert is much better than Lysithea in that class because he get frozen lance simply by qualifing for it and using it whit a silver lance+ outdamage Hades even if he has no faire(wich he won't), and using it whit an horseslayr basically give him extra uses of dark spike.
