Character Promotions-first post updated - Page 18

I'm going to side with IP (if the debate is still up) Because setting tower and ruins aside (which is foolish for me to say seeing as as you read this I'm raiding the tower gearing up for the next secret shop) money is tight in this game, unless you like to camp at an arena for 100 turns, which I hate seeing as a duelist criticals at some point, leaving me to restart the chapter and over-looking the arena altogether. So best way to get money, is to sell those items you recieve but probably won't use, unless you play every fight strictly safe. And by items you probably won't use I mean antitoxins, pure waters, body rings, (I nabbed one just 5 minutes ago, didn't know what impact it had on combat and sold it), and some other upgrade item that doesn't make a large difference in the long run, (Like this goddess icon I'm bored stiff with because the luck it'd generate comes easily in 2-3 upgrades, excluding Knoll, who I'm probably going to use it on this second...) and also torches, I hate them. The only mission I've found them usable is Ghost Ship, and one of them to know what the Deathgoyle came into range. All of those (excluding upgrades) sell for about 300, which doesn't sound like much, but its better than a cramped supply caravan full of junk that you have enough staves and vulneraries to overlook them entirely. Then again my ideals on torches and purewaters may just be personal expirence (which "Means Nothing", that quote being quite true, just enjoyed putting it in), I'm sure there's people who agree, and that you can simply use a unit with higher resistance (or Barrier staff) or avoid (vs. poison) to get by that situation.
As for views on light magic, the critical rarely does matter, excluding large monsters or enemies with high enough resistance to laugh in the faces of Shine and Lightning and then steal their lunches when the adults aren't looking, even then it probably won't finish them.
Roster picks: (I've been expirementing with them lately, and not to say these are the best, but just my favorite classes, and I haven't delved into Creature Campaign enough to upgrade them ALL, but if I were to, thats whats listed.)
Joshua: Swordmaster
Gerik: Hero
Natasha: Valkyire
Neimi: Ranger (Forest Knight)
Artur: Bishop
Moulder: Bishop
Gilliam: General
Ewan: Sage
Marisa: Swordmaster
Ross: Pirate -> Berserker
Kyle: Great Knight
Forde: Paladin
Franz: Paladin
Amelia: General
Lute: Sage (sages look so cool IMO >.>)
Knoll: Summoner
Garcia: Warrior
Colm: Rouge (Rennac comes in-game too late for my tastes)
Vanessa + Tana: Falcoknights
Cormag: WyvernLord
I think that's about everyone... if I missed someone, well oh well.

I did not miss Knoll, you must have skipped over him, it says "Knoll: Summoner"
Also, if you noticed I said about the Ewan and Lute sage things, "Lute: Sage (sages look so cool IMO >.>)" I didn't add L'Arachel mostly because I forgot, and I never use her, ever, unless I use her horse-back abilities (My Mage Knight Lute also covers this job if I have her) as a mounted healer, which is once in the Rausten Court. I said Valkyre because it is a very... nice looking unit, to say it best, and only two can become one L'Arachel and Natasha, and since I never use L'Arachel, Natasha it is. Ross and Garcia, I don't use either in the long run, and they usually rot in the back of my unit picks with Gilliam who is always out-done by Amelia. Always As for Kyle, he has uber Defense, and Strength, both of which are complimented by GK. (Knight ) And Marisa is also in there.

I prefer giving up mobility for the slayer skill.

All of these statements makes your argument worthless.

It has nothing to do with how anyone plays the game, because PEMN. The only "person" that really matters in debates is the Tier Player who plays the game perfectly (perfectly as in beating the game in the most efficient way) under all of the preset conditions, effectively destroying all bias. IP isn't saying he would never use a Body Ring on a Bishop in his game. What he is saying is that using a Body Ring on a Bishop is a negative to the entire team regardless of who does it. I'll reiterate the point,

Personal Experience Means Nothing

If you refuse to accept this point, all of your arguments will be based on it making them all null and void. Learn to debate please.

Im sorry i disagree with you PSE it means something, since without it, this thread wont exits my arguments for you maybe are worthless but they have a base, since if you want a safe lagdou ruins 10 floor, nothing better than a max constitution Natasha (as bishop), i play the game in other way than most people do, that is what is called THINK OUT OF THE BOX!, in those terms for me fire emblem and chess are very similar, only that i do better in FE than in chess.

quote Insanity Prevails

Yeah, slayer skill is awesome for all those dracozombies, but the valkyrie's winning everywhere else thanks to her mobility.

i agree but as i alreday i have said before, i prioritize skill over movement.

For me:

Gilliam: General
Franz: Paladin
Moulder: Bishop
Vanessa: Wyvern Knight
Ross: Beserker
Neimi:Sniper
Colm: Rogue
Garcia: Warrior
Lute: Sage
Natasha: Valkyrie
Cormag: Wyvern Lord
Forde: Paladin
Kyle: Great Knight
Amelia: General
Artur: Bishop
Gerik: Hero
Marisa: SwordMaster
Ewan: Summoner
L'arachel: Mage Knight
Knoll: Druid
Joshua: Swordmaster
Tana: Wyvern Knight

Except if you time to spend to train the two Pegasus Knights enough so that one of them doesn't instantly die when you use the triangle attack, you have enough time to make one of them a Wyvern Knight that is strong enough to make up for the lost damage. Besides, you get two extra spaces for better characters.

My Last List:

Gilliam: General
Franz: Paladin
Moulder: Bishop
Vanessa: Falcoknight
Ross: Warrior
Neimi: Ranger
Colm: Assassin
Garcia: Warrior
Lute: Mage Knight
Natasha: Bishop
Cormag: Wyvern Lord
Forde: Paladin
Kyle: Paladin
Amelia: Great Knight
Artur: Bishop
Gerik: Hero
Marisa: Swordmaster
Ewan: Druid
L'Arachel: Valkrie
Knoll: Summoner
Joshua: Sword Master
Tana: Wyvern Knight

(I also chose these to first most have one of every available class, this was before I knew about after the game you could unlock dead bosses, and second most, but NOT more importent than the first reason, to choose what they wanted from reading them.)

Yeah, it's referring to the levels.

20/10 indicates that a unit was levelled up to 20 in it's base class, then promoted and levelled to level 10. So something like 15/10 suggests that it was only levelled to 15 in the base class then promoted and levelled to 10.

Something like --/10 indicates that the unit in question is already promoted when we get them (eg Seth, Saleh, Syrene etc) and so we don't know what level they would have been promoted at.
