I prefer Priscilla because shes on horse back and can get to your injured units faster

Best units are whomever gets blessed with good level ups.

Worst ones are the ones who get fucked over with 1 stat improvement every level.

It's a lot more efficient to decide which characters you're sure you're gonna use though, since leveling up characters you aren't going to use is pretty much just wasting EXP.

>What are the best units to use in this game?
Canas, Florina, Rebecca, Raven, Dart, Kent and Sain. Always give attention to your lords though.
>Units to ignore?
There aren't any bad units in the game, just ignore the ones you don't like. The only one I'd say to ignore is Marcus, but that's because he's an exp trap if it's your first run. Keep in mind you can't grind, so you shouldn't constantly swap units. You should have 7 main units aside from your lords for the finally confrontation and then some others for chapters that allow more units.
>Serra or Priscilla?
Serra, because she's much cuter and should have a massive level gain on Priscilla by the time you get her. Both though, because the more qts the better.

You should play the game before talking about it.
>>

probably because you're morons who don't know how to play. Marcus is godlike and dominates early -mid game and remains solid throughout. the only thing he lacks is a little durability.

lucius is a glass cannon with the worst magic type, all he has going besides that is a c in staves with promotion.

and dark is in a mediocre class lacking movement with mediocre con. still a solid unit like Lucius but not exceptional. class and reliability is very important, it's better to have mediocre growths and good bases then the other way around.

Lucius has insane magic, high res and is sanic fast so he'll dodge most shit. Con isn't an issue given how light magic is. Please stop being retarded.

If you don't care about your rankings then Nino.

How many people have babysat Nino before?

She is the worst unit in the game by far, but she also has the cutest supports.
Also her bases are way suckier than mediocre.

Wow. It's not like Erk and Pent where Erk usually ends up shit or mediocre. Raven almost always ends up being God-like.
>>
>>275207580
Hand axes are shit, and what you could do with all those you can do easier and better with an archer. You really should have those other units charge instead, while the archer(s) pick off enemies over walls. Also, flying units are an archer's bitch.
>>
>>275208076
marcus in fe7 isn't even a jeigan you retard, fe6 marcus sure, but here he's one of those pseudo-oifeys like seth and titania.

yeah that's why canas is five stars

I've already adressed why lucius isn't that great, he is a glass canon with low luck and move so he's vulnerable the magic type holds him back and he's overkill as you can wreck people in 1 turn regardless, just like speed is very important until you hit the 14 threshold.

>If you don't care about your rankings then Nino.
Nino doesn't really kill your ranking, that's almost the opposite since she'll quickly get a lot of xp, improving your Exp/Power rank.
You just don't have to waste turns to train her like a retard, but she can manage to get 1 or 2 kills at each turn (thanks to Ninian), allowing her to reach a decent level. By something like level 15, she'll totally be able to manage herself, and will rape everything once promoted.

I babysat Nino several times, including in my first playthrough.

>>275208441
Harken's *base* stats are pretty much couple of points off caps. He also has B rank in axes and swords, letting him use braves in both weapons. Harken also has durability. Only stat Raven wins on is speed, but who gives a shit when both of them double everything?
>>
>>275208324
>>275208138
That guy was going by Ranked run/LTC ratings. And in that spectrum he's pretty much correct.
Marcus is really useful in LTC runs, the more cavalry and mounted units the better.
And in Ranked runs you need everyone to get xp anyway.

He clearly stated everyone is usable in a casual playthrough
>>
>>275208545
Sure Karla requires a promoted Bartre to recruit, comes super late, and has shitty bases and an awful class, but at least Karla isn't an archer.

Raven reaches Harken's base def at 20/20 on average faggot. Raven's res at 20/20 is lower than Harken's base res. Raven is shit. His offense is same as Harken, but he has no durability, plus he'll be rocking a sweet D axes for that steel axe usage while Harken's killing bosses with a brave axe.
>>
>>275208995
Rebecca with the S rank bow is pretty insane.
>>
>>275208886
raven is better, but harken has better durability and con so he can use axes better, and even with the lower stats he's still strong enough to fuck up the abysmal stats of the enemy in masse. Both are good units.

>>275208763
Then why isn't Marcus in 5 stars?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHXvtNt2eO4
And I'd still hold that Dart should be higher, because he's a pirate. I've never attempted a LTC run though, so I may be wrong.

>>275209074
>Raven is shit
Now you're just baiting. Yeah maybe his defense isn't all that great, but his higher HP makes up for that. Raven still beats Harken in pretty much every other stat.

almost everybody can double and crit often, light magic gets a low 10% crit rate where a simple killer axe would get a 15% and other classes get base crit bonues.
>>
>>275209050
I'm not even the guy you're arguing with, but they were clearly talking about ranked runs. And you really shouldn't be relying on crits at all. And Lucius still can't take a hit.

>>275209218
Because despite Marcus' usefulness, by the last third of the game other cavs are still better.
Dart has good growths and bad bases, which is the opposite of what you want in a LTC or ranked run. Not to mention he requires one of the most expensive items in the game to promote.
>>
>I go for low turn count when I play.
>>
>>275209337
Yeah, at the end of the game, if you manage to get him to 20/20, which should never happen if you don't play at a snail's pace. Harken starts out as what Raven ends up. That's really the only difference between the two.
>>
>>275209337
Heroes are good because their class is good. Raven isn't bad, dunno what that guy was saying, but in terms of overall usefullness Harken is actually pretty good, when so many people overlook him because "muh raven" even though pretty much any unit in this game is viable when endgame enemies have 0 luck and 6 skill

What are you, a faggot?
>>
>>275209558
For what purpose would you not use Raven as much as possible?
>>
>>275209218
marcus isn't 5 due to being mediocre late game, particularly in durability and needing to get slightly lucky with speed growth or sacrifice a speed wing.

dart teeters on the edge of 4 stars, ( so does rath) but his movement, mediocre con and skill ( not really for hitting people in fe7 as that is easy but for additional crit growth) hold him back.
>>
>>275209437
>Dart has good growths and bad bases, which is the opposite of what you want in a LTC or ranked run
I see what you mean in regards to LTC, but I think he'd be pretty great in a ranked run for that same reason. And his promotion item can be offset with the Silver Card and it's easy to get 5 stars in funds anyways. I've gotten 4 stars easy when I wasn't even trying.
>>
I'm playing FE6 right now and I'm starting to think I can beat the rest of the game with just these three.

I've played through this game like 12 times.

Hector
Oswin

Raven
Nino(if you train her)
Guy
Sain
Canas
Rebecca

Never Use:
Dorcas
Bartre
Serra
Erk

Everyone else is meh tier. Also Pent and Clarine are pretty good I just like to only use units I raise from babby.

Because he comes underleveled at a point where I normally have enough good combat units?
Also he is locked to swords until he promotes and he'll never reach a decent axe rank to use high tier weapons, so he's actually a pretty shitty endgame material. Then he gets completely obsoleted by Harken, making the exp put into him a total waste. I can't really think of a good reason to use him.

Which is easily remedied by using him in Chapter 16x with all the pirates. You don't NEED Axes even if they are useful. Saying Harken makes him obsolete is objectively wrong, considering Raven beats him in almost every stat other than Defense, Resistance, and Luck.

Yeah but Harken can use both axes and swords, so why go with the hero that can't?

>>275210138
>Raven beats him in almost every stat other than Defense, Resistance, and Luck.
They essentially tie on strength, skill, and luck. Harken's def lead is significant because def scales more steeply, and Raven has significant leads in speed and HP. That's basically the only difference in stats at 20/20, which amounts to nothing.
Meanwhile Harken has better axe rank, which makes a real difference, and Harken doesn't require babying a shitty level 7 swordie and wasting time in 16x when I can 3 turn it with Florina.
>>
>>275210293
If you don't focus on them, then you'll never be able to build them. Honestly, I almost never have any supports when I don't care for them (or maybe a C rank at best). You truly have to focus on them and always have the same units stick together if you want to build supports and take advantage of the bonuses.
That being said, the game is totally doable without any support. It's simply a cool stat bonus and additional info on characters, as well as nice dialogue.
>>
>>275210293
for story purposes you should try to build a team where you can get plenty of supports, and possibly even grind on some seize chapters to get A supports. Don't worry about affinities although fire thunder anima and light are good just support who you would like to support, the bonus is helpful regardless.

The problem isn't how you want to play the game. The problem is you inserting your bullshit into every thread when no one asked about ranked runs.

I mean, his supports are interesting and he's very important plot-wise, but he joins fucking lately and on top of that, his supports are the longest to build. 0 fucking starting points, and only +1/+2 at each turn. Fuck you IS, you literally have to waste turns if you want to read them ingame.

Explain where anyone said "it's the only way to play the game"? That one guy posted a tier list saying it was for ranked runs, and then everyone jumped on him saying shit like "Don't use Marcus!!!"
And I love the game and play it casually from time to time, but its so easy you don't need to even worry about which characters to use as long as you don't let everyone die. Which was also stated earlier in the thread.

not sure but in 6 there is a certain about of points you can build up per chapter aswell, so if you have like 5 pairs of people one might not be able to support if they have affinities that don't pair well. I think fe7 is the same.

Canas is the strongest character in the game bar none.

Avoid Pegasus units altogether as they die in like 1 hit from anything.

A beast that misses half the time. Fuck FE6 axes and fuck 7 skill or whatever he starts with.
>>
>>275211543
He does start with 7. At level 5.
Just don't use him against thrones and he should be fine with Weapon triangle advantage. He's seriously one of the best units in a HM run.
>>
>>275211394
>That one guy posted a tier list saying it was for ranked runs
There's your problem. OP says it's his first time playing. How the fuck are ranked runs even relevant?
>>
>>275208013
FE7 (just Fire Emblem) is the best starting point.
8 (Sacred Stones) is polarizing as fuck and mediocre.
9 (Path of Radiance) is the best in the series.
10 (Radiant Dawn) is good but not as much as 7 or 9
Both the DS games are complete and utter fucking garbage and under no circumstances should be played by anyone.

Awakening is really good but a tad on the easy side, and has overly cartoony characters.
>>
>>275211748
Because at that point the OP question had been answered and then discussion continued?

>>275211492
Canas as a unit actually isn't that stellar. Fairly average stats across the board. It's just that Luna is broken, and Athos can use it better than he can.

No he isn't fine. He has like 60 displayed against lances in Perceval's map and 50 or below against everything else. And it never gets better either. If you raise him to level 20 from 5, he gets whopping 9 skill. That's not going to cut with when the hand axe has 50 hit.

Yeah, welcome to FE6 where skill is an important stat and enemies actually have evade. There's a reason it's harder. Fact of the matter is Gonzales is one of the best axe users in the game. Heroes like Deke have the potential to be better if you bother grinding up their weapon level upon promotion since they will have much better skill, but that's a little obtuse.

This is actually true though, Florina is complete and utter garbage and the other 2 don't fare better.

They don't do good damage, they can't even take a hit from magic which they're SUPPOSED to be strongest against, even using the weapon triangle they get raped when they have the advantage.

The ONLY use for Peg Knights in FE7 is rescuing units or going to faraway villages.
>>
>>275212359
Yeah that was a random difficulty spike since if you want to save the entire family you need to kill the boss in like 5 fuckin turns.
Good thing Seth exists.
>>
>>275212292
He isn't good. Stop telling yourself a unit that has to be raised to level 20 while rocking single digit skill stat is usable in HM.
Not to mention he is pretty much limited to 1 range, so he's basically a SM who can't hit anything.
Deke is shit as well. It's best to just ignore that axes exist.

You have to totally rush the map if you want to save everyone, and you'll therefore miss some enemy units and some sweet xp (>implying it matters in FE8), but you might be able to kill the boss before the enemy reinforcements even come.

I'm not going to argue with an idiot, you sound like someone saying " we we came from monkies why are there still monkies?" you don't know how to play fire emblem. florina has the standard 40% strength growths and gets plus 2 with promotion farinas is even higher and their base strength isn't even bad for there level. it doesn't take much to sweep maps in 7, and because they can move unfetted they can get to the enemy units and kill them faster. chances of them getting hit are low aswell with godlike speed and luck.

you start out using them to finish off damaged units mainly mercenaries and mages with their amazing move, once they grow a few levels they can sweep shit.

Lyn's a lord, so she's mandatory and all, but as a combat unit she's generally not stellar.
Don't get me wrong, she's entirely usable and generally has good speed and luck to dodge, but her strength lacks routinely and her endgame weapon actually makes her worse. And bows as a promotion item suck.
Also she doesn't have an innate crit bonus like Swordmasters.

No, Shadow Dragon is a faithful remake of 1, no supports or features like Rescue, terrible gaiden requirements.
But its gameplay is solid. It's not 10/10 but it's overall not bad.
12 adds supports and fixes some of the other problems with 11 and it adds a MU that isn't actually horrible. If you ever plan on learning the story of Marth they're your best bet.

None of the stuff you said in your post has ever happen to me in FE7 onwards. Maybe you'd have a case for FE6, but FE7 Pegasus knights are lords of destruction. And even at low levels, they dodge often and always double, so it's no trouble leveling them normally.

You just said "the weapon triangle is shit because axe users are non-existent late game fucking swords."
What does that mean if you would be so kind as to explain that point to me?
And where did I base anything on anecdotal evidence.

Just rescue the peasants instead, you don't need to rush the boss.

The character art was alright. Too bad that's the only good thing about the graphics.

I actually really like the animations in FE11 and 12, for one they are more fluid than the GBA ones where people would return to their previous spot before attacking again with the exact same animation. What I find lame is that everyone looks the exact same asides from hair color.

You also get all those Mercenary reinforcements in the next chapter to level her and she's one of the best candidates for that Energy Ring and Angel Robe from Chapter 10. Even if you don't give those to her, Florina has a 40% Str growth, that's nowhere bad.

It's too bad Marth become hideous after the time skip.

I was in a rush, the point is that even in the first chapter she appears on hard mode, Florina can double, dodge, and do decent damage. You're fucking wrong.
Unless you're just calling me a faggot, in which case fuck you ;_;

Am I the only one that really likes Shadow Dragon's art style, characters/setting, and level design

Garbage gaiden and class change mechanics aside, I think it's better than Awakening

I'm amazed this many people care about graphics.
That being said, yeah the actual artstyle looked like ass I'll agree.
But the character designs and class designs were miles better than Awakening, which I think is more important anyway. But that's my personal opinion.
Still doesn't change the fact that not being able to play a game because it doesn't look great is incredibly dumb when the game is actually solid

What supports do you guys go for in PoR?

They fixed him in FE12.

Actually they fixed everyone who previously looked off model.

Who said I wasn't able to play it? Don't make stupid assumptions, it makes you look incredibly dumb. Like SD.

I wasn't exactly complaining against the character art. Only posting a cute girl. Only the sprites are really awful.

>>275217574

>Best Overall Units
Hector (Best Lord), Oswin (Nothing kills him and he hits as hard as a truck), Raven (Easily kills with double hits great with brave sword), Pent (Excellent Pre-promote if you don't want to bother with Nino), Nino (if you decide to grind her), Canas (Best Mage unit you have), Lucius (decent offense helps with Shamans use him as an off-healer primarily), Farina (if Hectors story) or Florina (if Eliwood), Priscilla (Best Healer thanks to movement bonuses not as strong as Serra though), Legault (best thief for lockpicking and treasure chest purposes), Heath(Fliers are pretty great in all FE games and Heath is your best Wyvern Knight whom are basically flying Knights).

If you absolutely must have a swordmaster I recommend RNG abusing Guy, they are all shit in this game though.

Other decent units are: Bartre, Serra (needs some grinding), all of the Cavaliers, Dorcas (Though Bartre is much better), most pre-promotes (use them to replace unpromoted units if they are ending up shit or you haven't been leveling them up, I recommend Pent over Erk though), basically all of your Archers (Rebecca is probably better than Wil). You can also use Jaffar for an Assasin but I absolutely hate his 20 str cap with only swords as a weapon, makes his damage shit and reliant entirely on his OHKO skill that almost never activates, (though he does crit a lot), he's better than any of your swordmasters at least.

Avoid at all costs:
