1. Okay, so he can go up there with WTA advantage and kill enemies. Problem is, he's gonna be going through quite some weapons (which means funds) with his eh Strength. I'd rather have him defend around the group.


How thick can you be? You counter the first sentence of that paragraph while ignoring the rest. And might I add the rest pre-counters what you just said. Lowen going ahead does, in fact, protect the group, moreso than him staying behind. Him being right by Eliwood in the group means that the enemies are going to attack Eliwood and not him. If Lowen is not getting attacked, then he is not defending anyone. Lowen moving ahead is better for the teams defenses.

2. No. You said Oswin only hangs around the group because of his low move, which is something I agree with, but you said this means Lowen should be on the frontlines, while I'm saying he should stay behind as Oswin can't reach everything.


Oswin can't reach everything so you send Lowen ahead to reach those things. Putting Lowen right back aside Oswin is greatly reducing the area that you have tankish units to defend. Duh. |:

Yes, let's ignore that Eliwood will spend less time with Hector later, meaning their A support is of less use.


Rofl, wtf? Eliwood and Hector are almost always closer to each other than Eliwood and Lowen. You still haven't countered the perfectly right stalking argument, in which Hector just follows Eliwood around, then after Hector promotes it's his personal chapter in which Eliwood is coming to and not Lowen, so they'll be MUCH closer to each other than Eliwood and Lowen. Next few chapters we're coming to an end, and one of the chapters isn't even combatively, and those very few chapters don't make the Lowen support better when it comes to practicality.

Hector and Eliwood activate wayyy faster so you have an A longer, and those times they have the A and have either similar movement/Hector Stalks outweigh the time that they won't it's retarded, retarded to even attempt to bring that up as a win for Lowen when Lowen is away from Eliwood when it comes to movement for the entire game.

Lowen and Eliwood can be side by side late-on for pretty much everything, and the boosts they give each other are great too.


That's absolutely ridiculous. Lowen and Eliwood don't even have the same mov lategame AND they preform different functions. The time that Hector and Eliwood are together lategame > the time that Lowen and Eliwood are together lategame.

If promoted Eliwood just hangs around with Hector, you're wasting movement.


Gah, don't be retarded. Obviously you have Hector follow around Eliwood, which is VERY FUCKING EASY mind you, meaning that they will almost at all times be within range of each other. You don't even have to worry about who is moving first like with Lowen and Eliwood, because Hector can move to the spot that he's giving Eliwood bonuses before Eliwood goes to close in and attack. Lowen is currently an offensive unit so he will also want to go close in and attack too, meaning that he won't be gaining from Eliwood if he moves first or vice-versa.

Then you have that Lowen is trying to preform tank functions, and there are times that Eliwood would just fuck up his style if he went to go stand next to him because then the enemies would attack Eliwood and you just lost that tank usefulness.

The enemies are crowded enough in this game that the mov difference of 2 between Eliwood and Hector is not great enough to split them up.
