All right, it's time for my stats….mostly. Right now I'm doing almost all of the characters I used consistently (in the consistent promoted or not status) for each run. Notice there are a few characters missing, but I hit my post limit on miiverse today, and I'll explain it later.
[hide]
**ENM first, then HNM
Eliwood**
What can I say? I'm very satifised on how he turned out, but obviously he was used more in his own story. At least he wasn't squishy like some people you'll see.
Hector
Mmm defense is mostly the same (good), but the second Hector got blessed with more skill and luck. For an inaccurate axe user against nasty criticaling swordsmen, that is a very very good thing. Minor changes in resistance
Lyn
First Lyn is a lot better. Skill was capped and Speed almost did. But that defense…..are Sacaeans made of paper?
Nino
Yeah, Nino was a LOT more successful in the first run. I gave both the Afa's Drops, but for some reason, I didn't get to train Nino too much the second go. First Nino was able to use Fimbuvetr (sp?)! It doesn't help I promoted the second Nino at like level 11 for the hell of it.
Florina
Either way, this woman is a goddamn beast. Hector's run she got more stabby and skilled, but her defense was slightly better in Eliwood's run. There should be a law saying no promoted unit should have a stat below 10, like holy cow
Priscilla
Not too much to say. Prissy got more use and even S-ranked in Staves (of which there are none), but in the first run, she was wielding Elfire a lot sooner. I'm really happy about the second one, but even then, I've had better Priscillas.
One time she was wielding Excalibur (no joke)
Oswin
Yikes. They're the same level but the first one has a significantly higher defense. Considering Oswin is supposed to be your tank….yikes. Second one is more skilled but the first one is faster. For Oswin, speed is a must. And the first one is stronger, too? Point to ENM Oswin.
Kent
Notice I didn't promote him either time? (ENM had Lowen, HNM had Sain). Pretty even I'd say…..okay, the second one has a luck of THREE, I'm almost certain he didn't level up luck anytime.
Kent served the same function as Fiora: get them close to level 20 but didn't promote, served as a back-up combat unit basically. It's funny, since they have a support with each other (although I kinda prefer Lyn/Kent, Fiora/Kent is an interesting pairing too)
Fiora
Fiora surprised me, she turned out to be very viable….er, picking off units and rescuing. In the desert, she was a godsend, since Heath is trash against magic users.
Second one capped Skill AND Speed, noice! .....at the cost of some major Luck.
Pent
What? I mostly used Pent for staves in the second run, since I didn't promote Serra. Physic > all
Rebecca
Second time I felt like I used Rebecca less, which is saddening. Looks like they traded strength for resistance. Considering Rebecca is more fast than she is a heavy fitter….I think the second one wins out.
Dart
Why didn't I promote Dart? Guess I cared too much about funds.
Second Dart is stronger but it almost hurts to see that Luck and Speed are the same as his level 14 counterpart. Aren't pirates supposed to be the fast axe class compared to Brigands and Fighters? Or is that FE6 only?
Guy
Guy. GUY. Your buddy has higher resistance AND strength, and he's FIVE LEVELS BELOW!
Sadly he turned out bleh in both cases. First run he nor Raven promoted, but second time, Raven was able to promote. I suppose I'll promote Guy when I get around to EHM, or something. If he stops disappointing me ;_;
Erk
Okay this is embarrassing. The first one is actually a little better, because three levels for a difference barely changed anything. Second Erk's defense is TWO. Freaking two. That means Serra AND Lucius can take a better hit than you, Erk.
But hey, at least your resistance is nine.
….....you are a magic user, at level 17 your resistance should be higher than 10!
Farina
I don't think I've had a Farina THIS good, and I want to thank the Uber Spear. May it rest in peace.
Skill and Resistance are amazing. Speed AND Strength are capped. If only I bothered to support you with Hector, you would give birth to a god tier Lilina. As far as I'm concerned, you're always worth the 20000 gold and a perpetual Elysian Whip.
Karla
sigh Poor Karla. Why do you come so late in the game? But hey, considering how crappy my Guys came out to be, maybe you're no so bad after all. Stats or no stats, I still love ya.
I even A-supported her with Bartre, since I adore the pairing and Fir. She had the same (lackthereof) usefulness in the final chapter as her brother in Eliwood's run, but hey, it's the thought that counts!
I'll post the remainders next time, but these are for characters that you really can't compare, since they were not of consistent promotion status for each run. Plus units you can't get both, like Harken and Karel or Geitz and Wal….
funny story actually. I didn't promote Wallace in Lyn Hard Mode, so he showed up as a regular knight in Four-Fanged Offense.....and proceeded to get himself killed over and over by not retreating. I tried to send Florina to recruit him quick, but alas, she couldn't make it time.
RIP Wallace-senpai
