Yes, he does have amazing. That was my point. Soren greater than sign Tormod. Soren is really all the mage you need.
Sure he is. He can't be used in the next new chapters with without getting raped, and can't be used in the next several chapters performing decently (as in, he is only subpar then). In fact, you would probably be in the final streach of the game when he comes of age, and his Nino stats start to show.
Uhhh, good job, you can recruit Devdan? It's not like you could easily bait him or something to recruit him. You go and blow out of proportion the need for quick completion completely out of the water. You need to be racing through, using their maximum amount of MOV, every single turn? And now, a word on Bonus EXP. You argue that Tauroneo’s MOV is slow enough, so it delays you from completing chapters, and therefore you get BEXP reductions. I'm not seeing how Tauroneo's MOV is such a problem. You praised Soren earlier on, and you Praised Calill too. And even after Ike promotes, he only has one more MOV than Tauroneo. It’s not like Tauroneo has only 1 or 2 MOV, or something. Plus, just mindlessly running your Paladins ahead, leaving behind your lower MOV people, is an incredibly bad idea for a few reasons. One, it separates your Paladins from their support. As good as units like Oscar or Kierian are, you wouldn’t try and solo chapters with them. Another problem, which is perhaps bigger than the first, is that your support units would be getting left behind. People like Soren, or any archers you wanted to use, or foot units, or healers. Not everyone has the MOV to keep up. With Tauroneo’s excellence DEF, it would be a good idea to just have people camp behind him. Tauroneo has great base STR. He has very high weapon levels in swords and lances. He can use powerful weapons, and hit enemies very hard. Will he one round them? No, that really isn’t the point. He wounds them enough for other units to get the kill. That maximizes the killing potiental of your entire army, rather than just having a few units get all the kills.
Bullshit. Tauroneo's base STR and DEF are incredible compared to other people in your party. His RES is very good. His HP is great. His SKL is great. Really, its just SPD that isn't as good as other peoples. But you can't just look at SPD, and then say "Oh, its lower, he must not measure up to other people in your army", because that is bullshit.
You realize that the Flame Lance does work off the MAG stat, right? And most other melee units have shitty MAG stats. For example, Gatrie has like, 3 MAG. Tauroneo has a BASE mag of 11. Most other Lance users only get around 7-8 MAG at 20/20. It would be a waste for them to use it.
Yeah, Jill would need BEXP. She is like, level 8, when everyone else on your team would be 14~. Astrid needs BEXP to level up. Zihark is a decent unit, and you wouldn't have Stefan yet. Mist and Rolf are still lower levels, even with moderate BEXP. And, you got Kieran, and Nephenee. Plus, those are the people who would be making the most of it. You still have people like Ike, Oscar, Soren, etc, who would be taking a moderate about of BEXP as well. But, in order for you to raise Tormod as fast as you say you are, you got to give it out really liberally. He would need babying. You already have a pretty complete roster of units, so why start babying a new unit now? Especially when the ones you already have are incredible.
Just how many mages are you trying to get? You praised Calill, so you would be using both of them, AND Tormod? Kinda mage heavy, wouldn't you say? Maybe we should throw Bastian in for good measure. Seriously though, I completely understand Soren getting use. I can see Calill use, seeing her base stats. She doesn't require any work at all, really. But still, I don't see the need to train up Tormod. Lots of work, lots of babying, and in the end, he still isn't as good as Soren.
Yeah, him attacking for a ranged doesn't make him attack any stronger. Enemies with Javelins or something will tear him apart. Archers will as well. And since you are just running your Paladins like ape shit all over the place, leaving your other foot units behind, you leave holes in your defense, for those pesky melee users to get in and attack you.
Yes, I have played the game. Have you? Chapter 17 isn't worth 3 chapters of EXP. It contains 4 minichapters, yeah. Not 4 full chapters. Each one is maybe worth 1/2 of a chapter. So for chapter 17, that could be 2 chapters. So, lets amend 6 chapters to 7 chapters. WOW, big change thar. Oh wait, no its not. 20 Levels in 7 chapters is still ridiculous.
Really? Oscar's 20/20 DEF: 22.5 Kierian's 20/20 DEF: 22.7 Tauroneo's Base DEF: 22.0 Oh snap! And seeing as how Oscar and Kieran wouldn't be 20/20 when you get Tauroneo, I think it is safe to say, Tauroneo will be a better tank than those two. And, just pointing this out, you are leaving your sages behind. You know, the Sorens and Calill you have praised. Poor them, they don't get any protection. Another think: Your Foot units like Ike only have 1 more MOV than your Sages and Generals. It is NOT alot more. There is no reason you should leave any unit behind, unless you are stupid.
Why in God's name would you give it to Tormod, when that could go to someone like Ike? Or if you get pretty items like that, maybe I can get some Boots for Tauroneo. Maybe if Tauroneo had FE GBA General MOV, or I was really compelled to race through chapters for whatever reason, I'd give it more credit. But since Tauroneo has 6 MOV, I'm fine with it.
Instead of just refering to this oh so horrible BEXP lose, why don't you tell me just how much you are losing by using them. And then explain to me, if Tauroneo has 1 less MOV than Ike, his MOV makes you sacrifice all that BEXP.
I'd say 3 or 4 at the most.
Yep.
Okay, lets not stop there. Lets look at Weapons. Iron weapons shouldn't exist at that point in the game. Tauroneo has insane weapon levels, and can use practically any sword or lance he wants. He also comes with a Spear, and Silver Blade. Can use both withou penality. Spear has 12 Might on it, Silver Blade has 15. So, Tauroneo has 34 Atk with a Spear (ranged too), and 37 Atk with a Silver Blade. I'll just use your overleveled stats. 19.5 MAG. Elfire has 5 Might. So, you got yourself 24.9 Atk there. What is better, 37 Atk aganist DEF, or 24.9 DEF against RES? You can't honestly sit there, and tell me the DEF-RES gap on enemies is big enough to counter that. If you Add in Resolve, Tauroneo is practically OHKOing things. And his HP would be 24. Which is fine, when he still has 22 DEF, and 14 RES. And healers nearby incase it gets into the danger zone.
k
Yeah, read comments above. Low HP doesn't translate to lose of DEF and RES.
Totally makes up for the 15~ HP, and 11~ DEF Tauroneo is winning by... Oh wait, it isn't. 15 HP and 11 DEF>>>>14 avoid.
HUGE FUCKING HUGE OMG VICTORY HEEERRRE.
Enenmy mages in this game are slow as shit, they won't be doubling Tauroneo. And 14 RES is nothing to laugh at. I mean, 10 DEF might be something to ROFL at, but not 11 RES.
WAIT STOP. Calill's move: 6 Tauroneo's move: 6 If you use Calill, then liek, omg, you are losing BEXP, and you shouldn't be using her~ Btw, Astrid shouldn't be on your frontlines, since as how she mains bows, and Jill is best out being a flyer, flying around and teabagging things. Oscar and Kieran aren't enough units to cover everything. So, if you want Calill, then Tauroneo's MOV is fine.
Okay, so you are using her for basically Mage Jeigan utility. 20/20 wise, she isn't as good as Soren, and since Tormod is an Est, not as good as him. But you want her for her bases. Thats cool. So, I got my mages. Both of which have already gotten your seal of approval. Soren and Calill. Soren, a powerful mage, with good supports, who has been training all game to become powerful. And Calill, a prepromoted Sage, with good base stats, who requires no work to become good. Sorry Tormod, I'll keep these easy, no work, alternatives. Keep the bench warm for them.
He would be in front, because THAT IS WHERE YOU PUT TANKS. Tanks don't go in the rear. First off, I never said to get Tauroneo to spearhead an assualt, or anything like that. Tauroneo is there to TANK. He sits there, and takes hits. Then your attackers move up, easily, since your Tank already did massive damage to them. Tauroneo WON'T be lagging behind, unless you are an idiot, and his 6 MOV DOESN'T effect the BEXP you get. I'd like to see you prove that it does. Tormod will only be rounding things late game. Like, the finally 5 chapters or so. That DOESN'T make him good in offense. Not if for the majority of the game, he ISN'T. And he isn't one-rounding Paladins, I don't know where you got that idea at. And another thing. Enemies always have a good number of RES less than DEF. But 10? Maybe for things like Wyverns. Paladins, I don't think so. And regardless, Tauroneo has can use any Lance or Sword that he wants. Fighting alot of Paladins? He has that great 17 might Knight Killer. Fighting Generals? That 18 might Heavy Lance. The attack power of Mage is much weaker, with things like Elfire having only 5 might. So, yeah, I'm still making up for the DEF-RES difference.
Ike has ONE* more movement than Tauroneo. And that somehow makes him keep up incredibly better? He gets a 1-2 range weapon? No shit! Tauroneo COMES with one. You don't get MORE bonus EXP for completing a chapter faster. You get less bonus EXP for completing it too slow. Look here: http://www.eaichu250.superbusnet.com/FE9/fe9bonusexp.php That is the max bonus EXP you can get in a chapter. You can't get more BEXP, by completing it in 1 turn, for example. You get BEXP penalities for taking too long. Now, about the subsititute thing. Lets face it; Both of our characters are low tier. Hell, that is why they are in this low tier tourny. Now, why would you want to use a low tier unit? Well, I can't really think of a reason why you would want to use Tormod. He comes late, underleveled, and still doesn't beat Soren. Tauroneo can just join, and instantly be one of your best meat shields. Now, about all this nonsenses about Tauroneo vs Paladins. I am not trying to say Tauroneo to replace them. Bringing them up every single time, saying "OMG TAURONEO DOESNT HAVE PALLY MOVE", is a moot point. Tauroneo is a TANK, not a Pally. If you want to compare him to something to say why he isn't 'good', pick another Tank. Tanks don't need WTFMOV. I've been comparing your character to other sages, you compare mine to other tanks. Tauroneo isn't a Pally, so stop comparing him to one. Either compare Tauroneo to Tormod, or Tauroneo to a unit that serves a similar function.
Halfway decent for 5 whole attacks, eh? 5 Attacks. Yeah. Point made.
Dragons would have 30 DEF at the most, seeing as DEF doesn't get any higher. Its probably more like 20~. But anyway, against 30 DEF, Tauroneo is doing 32 Damage. If they have around 20, that is 42 per hit. Dragons probably have 15-20 RES. Tormod would be doing 22-27 per hit. So yeah, I'm still HITTING HARD AS FUCK. And there are only THREE dragons in that chapter, and they are SPACED out. Dragons are the ONLY thing that can do significant damage to Tauroneo. So, he just has to have about 26~ HP, and he is doing CRAZY damage. Maybe even doubling them, but I don't know their AS stat. He is doing shit tons of damage, letting them easily be killed by someone else, for nice EXP. Good shit, Tauroneo. And with Tauroneo's 26~ DEF at the time, he doesn't really care about the other Laguz hitting him. You forget, Tauroneo is a fucking Tank.
Giving to to someone else wouldn't get you as much Atk. And with 22 SPD, that is probably enough to double them. Not to mention, of all those that you mentioned, they can use another Laguz killer, other than the Laguz Lance. And Tauroneo can use it easily. And with it, Tauroneo outdamages Tormod against Dragons. That counts more than anything else on this point.
No more than you using MOV. Tauroneo's Resolve SPD will keep him from getting doubled. Hell, only the quicker, weaker enemies will be doubling him. Like, Ravens, or Swordmasters. 15 endgame SPD keeps him from getting doubled by all but the fastest ones. And his 26 DEF never goes away. So people can hammer on him forever, and he will either take no damage, or next to no damage. With Tauroneo's DEF, it is impossible for him to get RAPED. Now, Tormod taking melee attacks, that is rape. Melee attacking 26 DEF, is not. And, as said earlier, 6 MOV isn't making you lose BEXP. Not when you Calill's 6 MOV isn't wasting BEXP. Not when Ike's 7 MOV isn't. Sorry.
Yeah, all 3 Dragons deal out massive damage to him. TIGERS, might deal out like, 5 or something. Anything lower, like sword users, clink. Lance users? Negligible. Tauroneo's 16 endgame RES can take that bolting. That is better RES than Oscar, Kieran, or Jill. Only one less than Ike. His RES is fine, so he doesn't really have to fear that bolting.
Tormod attacking bows would require him to go infront of his protectors to attack at close range. And on the enemy turn, they will attack so Tormod takes the hit. And that sucks, with his crappy DEF. Tauroneo can be hit on all day, and not die. Javelins are also stronger than your magic, dude. A Javelin is stronger than Elfire. So yeah. And the Spear Tauroneo comes with? That has 12 might on it, stronger than any fire Magic you could get. Magic in this game has poopoo Atk.
I down play magic, because tomes have shit attack power. In this game, yeah, units have more DEF. But there is another difference you completely ignore. In GBA FE games, enemies are weaker. But you use Iron Weapons the whole game for your funds, and because of things like CON. In this game, there is no Funds. CON=STR. People are using heavy weapons like crazy. Iron Weapons don't exist in your army after earlygame. So yes, their stats get stronger. But, so do your weapons. So it balances out. Otherwise, all your units would be doing shit damage,
Only morons put Tanks in the back. This is basic FE stuff. Tanks go in the front. Hell, Oswin gets massive use in FE7, when that game has a Tactics Ranking, and Oswin had LESS MOVE. Bottem line, is that GOOD tacticans make use out of tanks. Bad ones don't. And btw, if Tauroneo doesn't get to make use of his Resolve Skill, YES! That means nothing can break the impenatrable wall that is Otto Von Bismark... I mean Tauroneo!
You don't want to use Tauroneo because he has 6 MOV. Calill also has 6 MOV. If a double standard didn't exist, you wouldn't want to use Calill. But you do. Apparently, she can keep up. And Tauroneo, who has the same MOV, can't. Tauroneo can easily be using in combat. He doesn't cost you any BEXP. I'd like for you to show me proof that 6 MOV costs you BEXP. Tormod can keep up with your 2 Pallies up front, but 2 units isn't a wall, and will get him attacked. So basically, here are our arguements right now. Yours: Tormod has good lategame stats, and should therefore be trained up. He has good MOV, therefore he can keep up with Paladins. Tormod attacks RES, therefore he deals alot of damage. Tauroneo's MOV keeps him out of combat, and lowers BEXP. Mine: Tauroneo comes with great bases. He is one of your BEST tanks. His high STR and weapon levels allows him to use powerful weapons, and deal alot of damage. His resolve SKL turns him into a monster. His DEF/RES combo makes him incredibly durable. His MOV is fine. Now, most of your argements are somewhat true statements. Somewhat true. Still not worth training up. But your main points against my character, which your entire arguement hinges upon, is that Tauroneo can't keep up. His 6 MOV and 22 base DEF make it foolish to leave him behind. You have not addressed this. 6 MOV is the same as other units you want to use, so by your logic, it is enough to keep up. You create double standards, and ignore that Tauroneo's MOV is fine. |
