Ross isn't awful to use since he comes in so early, but he's still an "I use you because I like you" unit. And berserker only overtakes hero in strength around like... level 10/20/11.

Like, he's okay if you train him, but the reward isn't so much an invincible super unit (compared to if you put the same amount of effort into any other Sacred Stones character) as it is seeing him grow from zero to (possibly literally) hero. His expected speed with 50 levels and two promotions under his belt is like... 18.

Con is cool and good, IS just used it terribly. Offsetting weight with strength is just awful. Str did not need to be better than it already was! It's already one of the like, 2-3 "good" stats! The only thing dumber would be tying it to speed, to truly cement it as the Best Stat. Hey, I got a point of spd, but it also offsets my weapon's weight by one, so it's effectively two points of spd!   If you wanted to tie weight into one of the regular stats, skill would be more appropriate. Although then you'd have to make sure classes like knights actually have decent bases in that. vilkacis fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jun 8, 2018 |

 Man it's got to suck  when you open a Lute crate  and you just get regular Lute  instead of the Fat Lute you were expecting!  Shiki Dan posted:Ah, so we're not doing the "Super" Trainee route? It's "new game +" only iirc. Requires a clear save. quote:Getting an extra point of Con is almost as good as a point of Speed, right??? It pretty much is. I just looked up the axe weights and pirate Ross still gets weighed down by anything other than iron (and his hatchet, but that's going to wear out quickly if you use it to train him). And I mean, you'll be using a lot of iron axes, so it's still an advantage for the pirate! But it's not a huge one. Rabbi Raccoon posted:I say we go the third route...have vilkacis hack this game too and turn Ross into a Shaman You think this is a joke? You think this is a mother loving game?! (. . .

Rapier vs fighter...   ...and rapier vs fighter after making the rapier effective vs fighters. Rapier's mt is 7 (+1 wta). Eirika has 4 str, fighter has 5 def. 8x3 +4 -5 = 23. So it's indeed 3x in both versions.   And the S-rank sword has 18 (+1) mt. 19x2 +4 -5 = 37. So again, same in both versions. * actually probably a lot more than that but hush I'm having fun here Alxprit posted:I made the character in question a general, didn't realize it was suboptimal cringe.

Shiki Dan posted:I feel like the Western FE community enjoys swordmasters way too much and has way too much bias against Axe users. Even in the GBA trilogy, where speed and dodging are king. The FE community generally seems to consider axes the best weapon type and swords the worst. Myrms tend to get poo poo on a lot for having no range and no strength and being inferior to mercs who deal better damage and promote to axes and thus 1-2 range. There just aren't a lot of good or interesting axe locked units, whereas the sword locked ones at least tend to have edgelord appeal. quote:We even have people in this topic implying that Ross is a bad unit when he has to be absolutely speed screwed in order to be mediocre, since Berserker is such an amazing class. I'm not implying anything, I will tell you straight up that trainees are absolute trash garbage and the only reason to use them is because it's fun and satisfying seeing them grow. Even then, mechanically, you'd be better served training up Franz who joins five minutes earlier and starts at a low level but runs circles around Ross from the word go. Or Vanessa. Again, the right way to play FE is definitely to use the characters you happen to like, but... Ross is still quite bad. Sydin posted:Bartre is an awful prepromote. Bartre comes with 20+ str and twice as much hp, Bartre is cool and good Shiki Dan posted:Here are the average stats of both Ross and Garcia at Level 13 Fighter: That comparison is kind of useless because in order to make Ross a level 13 fighter, you have to feed him 21 levels, and he's only getting noticeably more exp than Garcia for the first 10ish. Give Garcia the same amount of kills, and he's not just going to be a level 13 fighter. quote:He comes equipped with his own special weapon that mitigates his Trainee class' critical flaws (low con, low skill). It's not a prf though, so you're quite free to give it to Garcia instead, for those moments when the handaxe isn't quite accurate enough.

Sydin posted:10 speed ...and slow. Cool and good, and slow. But hey, you have to feed someone all those speedwings you're picking up! FoolyCharged posted:Yeah, he'll be a level 14 fighter because a handful of lvl 1-3 mooks aren't worth diddly exp by the time everyone is 13. He can be a level 14 fighter by the time Ross even has the option to get out of Journeyman if you really want him to. Drop him on the fort and he'll solo most of the bandits on his joining chapter, give him the hatchet and he has good enough hitrates on the swordies on the next map to solo them too, and on the next you can just bench everybody and let him go to town. I actually just did this to see how it goes and he hit 14.95 after chapter 4 with no effort whatsoever. Or, better yet, you can do the same with Franz (because swords + fort means he can also solo the Bone Zone pretty reliably) and he's basically a second Seth before even promoting, again with less effort than it takes to feed Ross kills, and with considerably more utility than a level 1 pirate/fighter with doubling issues. Hell, have him solo chapter 5 too and he'll be like level 18 and you can promote him on the next map for absolute overkill. I mean, "absolute trash garbage" is an exaggeration, and I'm pretty sure I already admitted that he's not awful to train, but the other units you get at the same time will still deliver better results faster, and even a trained Ross won't contribute anything especially amazing until his second promotion.

Shiki Dan posted:I have absolutely no idea how people can say Ross needs "babying" or needs going out of the way to work. Even if he's free for two chapters (not three, you have to bench two people in chapter 4, then four in ch5), he costs a slot after that. If you're using your other units efficiently and not favouring him, Ross gains maybe 2-3 levels per map and probably won't promote until chapter 6. He is definitely the worst unit you have in chapter 4-5, barring maybe Neimi (who still provides something unique, and comes with a free C support making both her and Colm stronger). You have to deliberately bench a better unit for a worse one. If that's not going out of your way, what is? (You're also delaying Colm's promotion by... 5-6? chapters if you go berserker.) And Garcia still makes better use of the hatchet. . On another note, though...  Well done, my boy! But you're 30 years too early to challenge me!Nice filename

Ephraim is kind of a meathead, but he's not "I'm just going to do the dumbest thing imaginable" levels of meathead. (And "What harm could a little reckless besieging cause?" is another great line.)

Ragnell is pretty sweet, but in this instance it would be like a glorified Light Brand. It'd depend on how Ike's stats are converted for gba caps. But Ephraim's pretty screwed since "glorified light brand" still means he can't counter on Ike's turns. If I was going to pick a lance user to go up against Ike, I'd go with Camus.
