Reikken Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Paladin is indeed the best combat class in the game, without question. Wyvern Lord is the only one that's somewhat arguable. Think about it. Halberdier is just like paladin except completely inferior. 2 less move, no moving after attacking/trading/etc., and is stuck with lances instead of being able to use two weapons, one of which you can choose. Ike's class is the same way, except the mastery skill is better, in exchange for being unable to use the Knight Ward and having an inferior weapon type (swords < lances).

Well I question it. And you can hardly call Ike's swords inferior when he gets the best usable weapon in the entire game, Ragnell. No lance in PoR can compare to that. Its not like he even needs the Knight Ward at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Ragnell is a great weapon, but Ike has it for, what? Two chapters? I don't see how a single weapon that is only available at the very end and locked into one character makes swords as a whole better than lances.

Well, I didn't mean to say that it alone made swords>lances. If you are only comparing weapon types, which would be stupid considering the wielders are half the battle. Then lances would be swords easily. But lets factor in wielders into this. Swords have Ike and Zihark. Thats enough to make them on par with lances.

HowAreYaBud Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY ROLF SUCKS?! Rolf is awesome! He's really good! Anyway, Devdan, Lucia, and Bastian all suck. Well, Devdan isn't bad actually, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Nightroad Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY ROLF SUCKS?! Rolf is awesome! He's really good!Anyway, Devdan, Lucia, and Bastian all suck. Quoted for truth. Rolf is a really great unit, provided you have the experience necessary to use him (which in Hard Mode, you probably don't). But thats less of a fault of the actual unit, and more of a fault of the game itself. Well, you could always try to baby him, earning some experience until you do have enough to get him the class change (after the class change he is awesome.)

Killer Poleax Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 What do you want to determine a character's average usefulness with then? With things like "omgwtfroflmaobbqpwnzorz maih knooll cepd ever stat at leevel 20 prmopted soez eh iz teh best evahr lololol"? I hope not. Yeah, I guess that's the only way but I think some people take it too seriously. In the end, it comes down to RNG and how you use the character.

Don Draper Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 My advice for your playthrough: Don't listen to a word Chris Lionheart says about characters. He's incredibly misguided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have as much experience with a character as I want, but any character is good if you have "experience" with him. This is a lot of bull.

Saint Nightroad Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) My advice for your playthrough: Don't listen to a word Chris Lionheart says about characters. He's incredibly misguided. LOL Just because my opinion differs from your "expert" opinion, I am somehow incredibly misguided. What's misguided is your logic. Now when did this have to come to insulting another person? Its supposed to be an opinion not a debate.

Lord Cow-Cow Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 so far the list is as such Lucia Bastian Devdan Ulki Ena Shinon Titania (for beginning of game) I think I need a few more still though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Wut? Titania is your best character for the beginning of the game, so why would you use her? It's probably better to use Gatrie, Shinon or Soren or something like that. And don't use Devdan. He's pretty good. Also, don't be afraid to add Rolf to that list, and perhaps Janaff as well (since Ulki > Janaff, and you have Ulki on that list already :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny: spider bitten Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) If you cut BEXP and the Knight Ward/Stat Boosters/Growth increasers from the equation, you pick up a few more options. Which, really, in this type of PT, you should be doing anyway. Edited November 24, 2008 by bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
