Kamui is pretty bad

Best in smash though
>>
>>320466240
Yes. He contributes virtually nothing aside from killing the final boss; he starts weak, is stuck with swords, and can't promote until the very end of the game. He ends up being a liability you need to carry around with rescue or slow down to accommodate due to his low movement stat. Character-wise he's okay, just rather bland so he's not as bad as some of the more annoying lords. And even though I use him sometimes in SSBM, I have to admit he sucks. He has no safe approach options, awful recovery, gets comboed really easily, can't edgeguard for shit, his range is effectively poor because of his worthless wet noodle sword, etc.

he's alright

if you want a bad lord look at FE1/Shadow Dragon Marth. Micaiah sucks ass too but she can one shot cavalry and knights with Thani and can become a dedicated heal slut since she's too fucking slow to double anything ever

>>320467076
>FE1/Shadow Dragon Marth
Woah, hold on. There's a huge difference there. FE1 Marth is good because enemy stats are pathetic, stat caps are low, stat boosters are huge, and he gets a ton of unique weapons: rapier (no weapon triangle and super effective against most enemies), miracle sword (very strong and even increases growth rates), and falchion (negates attacks from non-dragon enemies). FE11 Marth sucks compared to FE1 Marth since forged weapons are rampant, most other units can class change, and his low stats are a bigger factor.
>>
>>320467198

The best lord in the series is easily Ike.

Top tier banter and heroism in PoR and even if he does get a little overpowered in the story in RD, he still is the most based character. Not to mention he is a god tier unit.

>>320467972
Why do people always complain about Lilina's accuracy? Anima magic is very accurate (95 hit on fire, 85 on aircalibur). Lilina starts with 5 skill and gets 3 more on promotion, so even if her growth isn't great, it's not a problem. Especially when you're nuking manaketes and knights with low avoid.

On the other hand, Sofiya can't hit anything - she joins way way too late, starts with 2 skill, and dark magic has shit accuracy.

Hydra is the First Dragon, the Dragon of Invisibility that controls water and fate. He also has multiple different dragon forms including a Dark Dragon form that he lets his Water Familiar take on and a Light Dragon of Hoshido. Not to mention Masked faced Dragon for some reason.

Enough of his blood in you will turn you into a full fledged dragon. And his true form is a ball with eyes. If anything I'm surprised Kamui doesn't go more crazy with their shit since they are also Invisible Dragons.

It's more than Lucina or Roy have going for them who are basically Girl Marth and Red Haired Marth. Characterwise Kamui is awful!
>>
>>320469872
And Robin's personality is "Everyone thinks his generic or dickish plans are brilliant and saintly and can do no wrong".

Remember when that piece of shit Micaiah murdered an army by setting it on fire? Yeah it gets treated as a necessary atrocity when she does but gets praised when Robin burns half their own ships to kill all the other guys in a gruesome and brutal death by burning or drowning.

He's only great in his games. Looks like Fates fucked him over, statwise and skill wise.

He also defeated a legit God unlike most Lords who just beat Dragons masquerading as Gods. Hydra's pretty much the one closest to being a God amongst them and he got beaten in Fates.

They fucked him over in Fates by making him slow as shit despite skill and speed being his highest stats, along with strength.

Lucina and Marth are better than him skill-wise with that awakening skill bullshit, Lucina gets Awakening which somewhat similar to resolve in PoR/RD and Aether. Marth gets +spd skills.
Ike is left with -Spd skills with his already shit speed cap and - spd modifier.

Roy defeated a dragon. Not even a false God dragon but a dragon that had been so thoroughly messed with that it wasn't even a Divine Dragon anymore and those dragons are not Gods.

Not to mention the legendary weapons don't have the power they used to have as well. So it was even weaker than when his dad used it.

HEE-YUH

That's the Sword not his own skill.

Eliwood using one of the other weapons literally moved on its own to kill Ninian. Such power is these weapons that surpass the user.

Ike himself needed a sword and a goddess to win
>>
>>320477346
They needed a Blessed weapon to damage Ashera. Is Ragnell even on par with Roy's sword? Normal weapons don't do crap. Even then he's known to be a master swordsman.

what has Roy got going for him other than his sword?
>>
>>320477346
Ashera was literally immortal and only her other half could harm her. He still needed to beat the crap out of her for it to work.

Unlike the bitch ass dragon Roy fought.
>>
>>320477556
Roy doesn't need to use that sword to win
>>
>>320477738

That's not because he's strong, it's because the dragon is a big fucking push over.
>>
>>320477809
This. A bitch ass mortal dragon ain't on the level of half of a Goddess.
>>
>>320475460
His skill is worse than his speed, bro. They literally made Marth better than him.
>>
>>320477809
The arguments getting a little circular now so I'll stop but Ike needed a buff to win on top of the sword even if his evil goddess is otherwise unkillable Roy canonically needed less help and could still beat him.
>>
>>320478278
still beat her.

And that's because she wasn't actually a threat. She was just some unlucky dragon girl the Fire Dragons were able to get their hands on. She's not some powerful goddess that can turn nearly an entire continents people to stone with her power.

This is why your argument falls apart. Nothing about her is impressive, while Ashera's power is well known. If she had woken at full power not a single person would have escape being turned to stone.

Smash is popular with a lot of people.

I'm probably talking out of my ass but I'm pretty sure a lot of people who main Marth or Ike never even played a Fire Emblem game.

Though I honestly blame Smash's influence for Ike's current state in the newer games due to his play style. That's why he's shit now.
>>
>>320479145
The problem is that he's shit because he's based on how Ike plays in Smash.

Basically Smash ended up ruining him as a playable character outside the Smash games because it's always Smash Ike that appears in games.

I figured that was the excuse as well, but it looked really silly.

What are you talking about? They all have unique objectives and enemies are built to add to this (aerial units out the ass in the protection map, enemies with vengeance in the hp draining map, priority targets with huge hp counts).

Enemy placement is significantly better than the plot maps.

She gets an immediate support rank on recruit and Fire tomes have a shit ton of hit, she'll never have trouble hitting anything even on hard mode

Literally her only competition in mages is Clarine and maybe Saul, and Lugh is roughly comparable

From what I've heard, everyone says Hoshido plays like Awakening 2.0. The main strategy in Awakening was to send a pair of units into a group of enemies and watch them decimate everything. Pair up works different in Fates so I don't see how that strategy would work if you're playing on higher difficulties. What makes Hoshido similar to Awakening and different from Nohr? Are there just more Route maps with less gimicks?

He was already married by the time the pegasus knight showed up, so I can understand why Sigurd might not have been able to get himself fired up over her

Levin's kind of a lord, just not the main character
He certainly chills with Sigurd in the 'I'm so unfair it should be a crime to deploy me' tier

>>320485589
Rutger and especially Dieck aren't anything like two of the best units in the game. Rutger's one role is killing tough bosses, and he is basically useless once other bosskillers Perceval and Milady join. Dieck is just shit.

You can grind to your heart's content like Awakening and the second half of the game has braindead maps much like Awakening. Once you get Ryoma he's basically Awakening pairup in action too, he'll dodge everything and get free guard stances with his pairup partner

>>320485843
Confirmed for knowing jack shit about FE6 hard mode
Rutger/Percy/Miledy are the best units in the game mostly because of HM bonuses and the fact that Rutger has to carry you through the hardest part of the game. Dieck is also top tier because he has retardedly good bases and can basically help Rutger out. Alan/Lance/Marcus/Zealot are necessary as well for the mobility and triangle advantage

This has been common knowledge for like a decade

Def/res gap doesn't make up for never doubling. It doesn't even really make up for the mt gap between physical weapons and tomes.

I meant by that point, non-sword users like Hector, Ephraim didn't come until after Roy's game

Those fucking wyverns in chapter 7

>>320485989
Are you from 2006? People know more about the game now. Alan, Lance, Rutger, and Dieck are all casualbaits who play a role but can be discarded later in the game.
>>
>>320486310
I'm from 2015 where people still use them in Hard Mode runs because they're necessary early game and lategame you're only using Percy and Miledy to do literally fucking everything while Niime just warps people around

FE6 HM strats haven't changed much in recent years, mostly talk about stuff like moving Garret up in a unit tier list based on a few niche stat advantages during certain chapters

Literally what I said many posts ago when you jumped in and started sperging out.
>>
>>320486310
>These units that are near-essential for getting you through the hardest part of the game, save maybe Sacae, aren't that good
>>
>>320486568
I never disagreed with that, it doesn't mean Rutger isn't one of the best units in the entire game and Dieck isn't very solid despite falling off if you use him all the way to the end

If anything you're sperging out by talking like the only thing that makes a unit top tier is endgame in which case Percival and Miledy are the only 2 good units in the entire game

>>320466972
Eliwood can actually OHKO the final boss with Durandal in the NA/EU versions. Hector/Lyn can't not to mention that all three of them lose speed with their special weapons in the end.

Ike couldn't beat his final boss without Micaiah channeling Yune long enough to do the double blessing.

Its a twofer in that department.

Canas requires the same level of favoritism and supports to do the same shit.

The only one who can do it on a regular is Athos.

Being useful for the hardest part doesn't mean Rutger is one of the best units. He's a tier below Percy and Miledy. Dieck is a tier or two below Rutger.
Anyway Lilina is shit. We can all agree with that, right?
>>
>>320486843
Not really, Canas has much better stats on average than Eliwood, Luna is far more broken, and Canas can actually hit 20/20 in the first place whereas Eliwood won't be doing so unless you give him the first Heaven Seal on hector mode and feed him a lot of kills

The only thing really stopping Canas is a somewhat middling Mag while Eliwood has the entire universe conspiring against him

Kamui is STILL better than Roy. He sucks that bad.

I didn't even have to paraphrase that one, jesus christ
Top 3 in the game is top tier, plain and simple, especially in a game with as many units as FE6 where you can't just pull a new tier out of your ass every couple of units. Your definition of tiers is incredibly narrow and places too much value on endgame
>>
>>320486936
>Canas has much better stats on average than Eliwood
Actually Eliwood has much better stats on average.

>Luna is far more broken
Durandal is a 17mt weapon that gives +5 strength and has effective damage. No, Luna is not far more broken.

>Canas can actually hit 20/20 in the first place whereas Eliwood won't be doing so unless you give him the first Heaven Seal on hector mode and feed him a lot of kills
Canas won't be hitting 20/20 unless you give him the guiding ring and feed him a lot of kills.

>>320486934
Who do you use to kill mamkutes safely then, especially in the desert, when Percival is useless/not-recruited yet
>>
>>320487180
Don't forget how Luna is inferior to Flux on almost every enemy in the game because of the generally low res stat on most foes.

Rutger is not even top 3 as Marcus > Rutger. Marcus is even more essential to early chapters and stays relevant longer.

>>320487498
Debateable, without Rutger the closest thing you have to a boss killer is Dieck and he's far less efficient at it. Gaylance and Henning are up there as probably the hardest bosses and you don't have much of an alternative if you're trying to do an efficiency run.

So long as they're usable, only certain maps lasted long enough for Mordecai, Muarim and Ulki to transform, and as they're capped at lvl 20, so even units out like Lethe and Janaff have limited use in endgame

Yeah but without Marcus you aren't even getting past the first group of bandits without 90% chance of dying.

IIRC, prologue bandits are 4hko'd by Alan/Lance and kill them back in 3 hits. They 2hko everyone else. Then there's that archer.
>>
>>320487895
True but his longevity is a bit stunted by the fact that Alance get a lot better and then Zealot outclasses him once Chapter 7 hits
>>
>>320488098
You are given quite a few patches of forests to hide in for avoid, I guess Marcus would save you a bunch of turns though
>>
>>320488151
That's still like ~25 displayed hit against 4 guys that kill you in 3 hits.

>>320483795
Honestly throwing your sword is the more autistic choice. I don't know why they even bothered with that design.
