Will I ever change this av/sig combo? Posts: 1,362 Group: Veteran Member #780 Joined: May 3, 2006	Haar (Lv. 11 Wyvern Rider @ Ch. 23) HP: 47 (65%) Str: 21 (60%) Mag: 8 (5%) Skl: 19 (60%) Spd: 17 (35%) Def: 20 (45%) Res: 10 (20%) Luk: 12 (15%) Haar @ ??/20 HP: 52.8 Str: 26.4 Mag: 8.4 Skl: 24.4 Spd: 20.2 Def: 24.1 Res: 11.8 Luk: 13.3 Muarim (Lv. 9 Tiger @ Ch. 16) HP: 45 (145%) Str: 16 (70%) Mag: 4 (5%) Skl: 13 (70%) Spd: 15 (55%) Def: 12 (60%) Res: 5 (45%) Luk: 11 (35%) Muarim @ 20 HP: 60.9 Str: 23.7 Mag: 4.5 Skl: 20.7 Spd: 21.1 Def: 18.6 Res: 10.0 Luk: 14.8 Demi Band Transformation Bonuses Str +4 Skl +2 Spd +2 Def +2 Res +2 Full Transformation Bonuses Str +7 Skl +4 Spd +3 Def +3 Res +3 Let's see here. Offensively, while Muarim is capable to catching up with Haar's strength stat lead with his demi-band transformation bonuses, he can't change the fact that beorc weapons are stronger than those of the laguz. Both steel lances and axes have a couple points of might against tiger claws, and by the time Haar can wield silver weaponry (which shouldn't be too long considering he has Bs in lances and axes) he should be outdoing Muarim by 4-6 damage per hit. Haar also has plenty of skill to make sure he'll hit the majority of enemies, even though Muarim will have more accuracy. Muarim also has a slight AS lead, but there shouldn't be that many enemies Muarim can double that Haar can't. In all, Haar and Muarim are a relatively even match when it comes to offense. However, defense is a different story. Even with transformation bonuses, Haar'll probably have a 5 point lead or more when it comes to the defense category, and 2-3 point resistance lead that will trickle down towards being near even once they reach ??/20. All thanks to Haar's nice defensive base stats. Their evasion without supports are similar enough to make this a solid win for Haar. Then, there is Haar's skill, Guard. When Haar attacks, he has a 20-25% chance of not taking their counterattack. It may not be amazing, but it still pushes his defensive advantage further. Support-wise, Muarim has one excellent support and two crappy ones, while Haar has one excellent support and one good one. Muarim has Zihark, who is debatable with Stefan as the best Swordmaster, Largo, a Berserker with horrid defense and a really, really late joining time, and Lethe, a cat laguz with a terrible affinity. Haar has Jill, who is the best flier in the game, and Malakov, who has the benefit of being a decent Paladin in a game where Paladins rape. Zihark would prefer Muarim to Brom and Ilyana, so Muarim can take an A. Muarim with A Zihark grants him +1 defense and +22 avoid, some solid gains. Jill will likely have either an A or B with Mist, but can afford to wait for Haar since her only other option is Lethe with her terrible affinity. Makalov, similarly, will have an A or B with Astrid, and will have room for Haar since his only other option is Bastian. It's also worth mentioning that Jill, Haar and Makalov all have the same movement range, which certainly helps. A/B Jill & Makalov (doesn't matter since they both have the Thunder affinity) grants Haar +2 defense, +12 hit, and +25 avoid, while B with both Jill and Makalov (should they have As with the others) grants Haar +2 defense, +10 hit, and +20 avoid. Either one is more than a match for Muarim/Zihark A and they both further Haar's great defense. Both of Haar's supports are also amazingly fast at 1/2/4 and 1/3/5 - by the time Muarim gets A Zihark, Haar could very well have B Jill and B Makalov. And finally to end my first post, eyepatches are more awesome than do-rags.
