is there any way to make a support character attack the enemy or is it just random based on support rank or what.

its weurking ty although he still dies from 1 hit so its slow anyway. well, its my obstacle to overcome i supose.

btw, i was looking at the bonus box stuff (not gonna use any of it cos its cheeting) and a bunch of the old portraits and stuff looked like they were drawn by shirow masamune (guy who made ghost in the shell) and it turns out he used to be the character designer or w/e .. i never knew he used to be the artist for emblem. cool!

bonus box stuff is fine

shirow masamune did all the art for the DS ones and it turns out his art doesn't scale down to the DS at all

he did a bunch of character art for the ds ones, then instead of using that art they went with those awful 3d renders in-game

the worst thing in these games is gettin amazing levelups in a stage but them someone dies so you reset and next try u beat the stage but everyone got terrible levelups this time

RD shinon is basically the only good archer

there's an archer in thracia 776 with a 15% strength growth rate and 55% magic growth rate for who knows what reason

shinon in radiant dawn is good for an archer but any unit without the ability to counterattack at melee range is at a severe disadvantage because a lot of fire emblem strategy is in enemy phase management and they dont really get to do much of that

at least magic doubled as resistance but yeah strength growth deficiency is the hardest thing to fix in thracia. its not a good thing when marty is more viable than a character

rebecca could dodge the apocalypse which is why she owned

just step back and shoot every turn, have dart hang out too

i'd kill for my rebecca and dart in awakening on the mission where the sea dudes first show up just to watch them chew the army apart

the only fire emblems i've played are this and sacred stones, or whatever the free ambassador one is

i like awakening more, but maybe sacred stones is also "bad"?

marry his punk-rear end to sully, who learns Dual Guard+ as a Great Knight and also plops out an awesome Kjelle. At S-rank support, the likelyhood of getting dual supports is like 80%+

nah, sacred stones is good, but awakening has non-permadeath, easy grinding and takes itself less seriously

hire these guys and let them die instead of you're guys because they are literally yu-gi-oh cards and you can buy them again

sacred stones is the weakest of the gba games for a number of reasons but i would consider it better than awakening

if dodgy enough they can be good at holding a line since you wont counter kill dudes in front of you but you can shoot and kill anyone trying to snipe from the back. but yeah they are kinda weak and i dont get why intelligent systems treats them as if they are op giving you 1 or 2 each game with terrible growths

first one i played was 7 and i didnt understand permadeath or recruiting enemy dudes so i just murdered everyone and left a shitload of ppl to die. it was pretty grim and i swore no unit of mine would ever die in a fe again

6 hard is definitely more difficult than 7 hector hard mode, minus one or two lategame units being unexpectedly made excellent thanks to poorly thought out hard mode mechanics

i mean yeah if you just want to plug a hole thats fine but you will pretty much always have a non-ranged unit who's either just as dodgy or fairly tanky and will actually kill poo poo as well as plug the hole. in the post-gba games you can also just unequip a weapon on a melee unit if you want to do that same thing so archers dont even really have that going for them
