Personally I like monks, they are fast, skilled, magical, with high res. So when it comes to fighting other mages they barly get it, or receive very little damage. They may not fair well against melee/physical fighters, but among mages think they are real good. IF they gave monks better stat caps though, for my Lucius always max mag,skill,speed within lv5-8 promoted.

My Sage always seemed to have an extremely HIGH speed and resistance stat. Heck, his defense wasn't bad for me either. I always just seemed to have bad luck with Canas. As for axe users, I started a game in my empty slot and got to ch. 18 again when Dart joins and he CAN'T hit crap! He rarely hits with his Steel Axe, and even super less with the Hand Axe. I am going to try and train him though. It's just really annoying.

you know, you could have NO mages, NO falcoknights, NO monks/druids NO healers, and use only the three lords, oswin, sain and kent, raven and guy, and dart to beat the game.
but paladins are the BEST!!!
my lvl 20 sain and kent kicked all @$$ in Light
Sain maxed out strength and defense
Kent maxed skill and speed

Paladins are good all around units but Master Knight owns Paladins.

Wyvern Lord. I love the P-Knights of Ilia, but I always seem to get attached to the Dragon Knights more easily (especially Milady in FE6). if there's one advantage the sisters have, it's their triangle attack... Sage. I love Druids, I especially love Canas, and Druids typically have more power, but Nino hits twice, also gets high magic, and evades a LOT. Plus the higher-up Anima books (Finbur, Gigas Calibur) are my favorite spells.  Plus the battle sprite Sage just looks awesome - even Sonia. =P Swordmaster. This is where my bias for all things Sacae comes in. I love them all, and watching their criticals doesn't exactly hurt either. Heroes are stronger and can use axes, but for some reason I prefer evasion over high defense. =P Nomadictrooper. Again, Sacae. And I'm simply a Rath fan anyway. This one's the easiest for me, because Snipers simply have no advantage over Rath, and I've always raised Snipers in FE7. Better strength, better defense, equal speed, and usually better skill. And hello, swords and higher movement? Hmmm... for Berkserkers, Hawkeye is good, but I wasn't all that impressed with Darts when I promoted him. On the flipside, I raised Bartre, and he started out kinda shitty, but is actually quite good as a Warrior, plus he can use Bows. His speed stat isn't always the greatest though, so I give him Speedwings. Bartre has very high STR, but Dorcas beats him in speed. =) My Dorcas always sucks in everything but HP, STR, and SKL. ;______________________; No matter what I do! Blade Lord: AWESOMENESS. First, despite Lyn always having a 3 or 4 DEF for me at level 20 Lord, her strength grows well, and she doesn't get hit often. I like the animations for Blade Lord, and the bow usage really helps. Great Lord: AWESOMENESS. First, Hector ROCKS. He's always a tank for me, and sometimes his SPD gets pretty high! Only his poor movement rate (and sometimes SPD) is a minus. So I give him Boots and a Steel Sword, Steel Axe, Hand Axe, and a Silver Axe (Brave if I'm desperate) and he lays waste to anything and everything. Pegasus Knights: Florina is GOOD. But they're the best on Hector's route. I just Triangle attack everything in sight! XD SQUISH! >> Nino sucks though . . . you get her too late to really do anything with her. I tried, but I decided to just use Erk (and Pent in tandem, if necessary). |

I lucked out with Lyn once and her Resistance was 15 and her Defense was 11 or 13 at lv. 20 Blade Lord (I didn't use any Tailsmans or Dragonshields on her) :^D I try to get her to a C skill level with a bow so she can use Killer Bows :^DDDD I also tend to give her the Boots for some reason or another...
It's always fun to level up Nino, esp. in Night of Farewells and Victory or Death. There's always an opportunity or two to cap her out as a Sage by the end of the game. A great thing to do is have Erk/Nino support, it raises her critical stat quite a bit.

not true, Luna is the best spell, it's light, high hit point and high cri You also didn't mention it also has 35 uses.....FOR WHAT? Its already bloody powerful with its critical bonus and effect and they give it 35 uses? I like struggle to try finish my Luna book but I never do. |

WYVERN LORD vs. FALCON KNIGHT I personally prefer wyverns over pegasi, simply because more powerful and just plain cool. SAGE vs. DRUID CANAS KICKS ASS!!!! He's as much of a magical tank as Hector is a physical tank. Plus, having Lucius next to him pummeling everything he dosn't kill with his light magic can't hurt....... opposites attract, right? HERO vs. SWORDMASTER What isn't good about being able to strike powerfully, accuratly, and swiftly, plus being able ot dodge the living hell out of anything that comes your way? Swordmasters all the way. NOMADTROOPER vs. SNIPER I really don't care much for either, as they both are out done (in my opinion) by powerful magic users such as Canas and Lucius. However, being able to use ballistas isn't all that bad..... WARRIOR vs BERSERKER Personally, i prefer to let my axe users be paladins, generals, and Hector, but if I had to choose one of the two, I'd have to say berserkers, since they're like axe-using less speed-deamonlike defensive swordmasters. Overall, I'd have to say that swordmasters own all. |

I'll put in my two cents now :^D This makes want to start up a character overview thread, but I'm sure it's been done already...
Wyvern Lord vs. -Falcoknight-
*Heath's Resistance isn't all that bad after promotion and he's a very durable and reliable unit. Vaida starts out great, but Heath is usually better at the point you get her if you've been leveling him up.
On the other hand there's the Triangle Attack and the general fact that all the Pegasus Sisters are great units...Falcoknight wins.
-Sage- vs. -Druid-
Pent's magic starts out great, but rarely gains at level ups, good stats all around, but an exp. sucker nonetheless. Erk's magic stat doesn't gain too often either, but if you're lucky, he'll make a good Sage. Whether or not to level up Nino so far into the game is a debate among few, but you'll be rewarded should you choose to level her up (give her good supports and the Afa's Drops to help further).
There's only Druid in Canas, and enough has been said about his prowess :^D A draw. Nino is just as good as Canas, maybe a bit better, but you get her too late.
Hero vs. -Swordmaster-
*I never trust low enemy hit %'s so low defense for a melee unit is of concern to me. I wouldn't rely too much on evading all the time because you'll be hit sooner than you think. Swordmasters are still awesome and deserve a lot of respect. The only ways to acquire the Wo Dao swords are through recruiting Karel and Karla and they're perfect fits for them.
Heroes are more durable, yet Raven still has some problems with defense. Harken may turn out better because his stats start out awesome and stay that way. It's also the only way to get the Brave Sword :^D A small lean to Swordmasters because of their constant criticals. If you want criticals, go for the Swordmasters, if you want more rounded stats go for Heroes.
Nomadtrooper vs. -Sniper-
*Rath is surprisingly good. He won't outclass Rebecca or a good Wil, but he can be close if enough time is put into using him. Upon promotion, he can also use swords, giving him some direct power. However at the time of promotion, he'll be mastered in the use of bows anyway and he'll start with an E skill in swords.
Rebecca and Wil are awesome, esp. Rebecca. Her speed, luck or maybe even strength are likely to cap out before promtion. To give her a quick start when starting a new game, give her some Secret Books to increase her skill. Wil has an advantage in strength and HP growth, but his speed is average. His other stats tend to not be on par with Rebecca, but he doesn't suck either. Snipers win out over Rath, but give him a try sometime.
Warrior vs. -Berserker-
*Dorcas is simply an average Fighter: HP is good, Strength is good, most everything else isn't. I suggest benching him after Lyn's story. Bartre, on the other hand, is a tank! Not only does his strength and HP are good, but his defense gains are better than Dorcas and are a tiny bit above average. He also makes a great bow user after promotion due to his strength and skill. By level 7 Warrior, Bartre had 30 strength o.o Geitz isn't so good, forget about him :^P
Dart makes a decent axe unit, but I've never been impressed with his skill and speed. I'm sure they'll pick up later, but I've never taken him too far. Hawkeye has great rounded stats to begin with and excellent critical chance along with 50 HP, but his stat gains are low. He's still a reliable unit for defensive maps. The Berserkers' ability to traverse terrain easily is a good advantage. Hmm...I'll lean a bit to Berserkers, but Bartre is just so good...

firstly, i doubt that Canas would be as any good as Nino... She is..:much more faster, has much more skills and luck and resistence and and and...perhaps i was unlucky to get a Canas with 20 aroud at every stat........... and then...Harken should be better then RAven! ...... hahahahahaah XD, good joke dude! |
