Neimi...support troubles? Fastest support in the game with Colm, who is guaranteed use pretty much. That's an A in the bag. Then Garcia is middish, usable and all, and early, and it's Fire/Fire. And Arthur is great and early as well. Yeah, she's an Archer, but she doesn't have Rebecca's earlygame suck and she can actually use swords post promotion.


Neimi's damage output in the actual game is pretty horrible and outdone by almost everyone except vs. flyers. That plus her bad class are naturally going to reduce her to a lower level than most of the team for whatever map she's fielded. So midgame, she can miss the one-round on low defense enemies like mages or shamans. The crit she gets from Fire affinity isn't going to matter until her supports are full or almost full. Good luck for reasoning that will happen before promotion.

Arthur and Lute, an entire tier gap?


The gap's not that big, but he doesn't have Lute's raw offensive might to be one-rounding as often and then Fire also pwns Lightning in raw offensive might. However, even considering that Lute struggles to double attack certain things midgame like gargoyles/mauthe doogs/deathgoyles/peg knights/rangers/mercenaries/myrmidons sometimes even when they're weighed down, her superior Res-targeting damage in one hit > some meager crit advantage since Artur isn't a bishop yet. Then she has the option of a horse after promotion and Artur doesn't.

As for the FE7 remark: Artur is high tier, and Lucius is about lower on the scale: bottom of high tier or top of middle tier. What's the problem?

I dunno what you've done with route specifics, taken their average? Either way, I don't like Eph route Gerik that much. All these early game people own the shit out of him on their level lead and 1-2 range before promotion.


Forde, Joshua, and Tana probably don't. Wind affinity, not that desirable or stalwart. On Eirika's route, they're also losing in terms of raw combat and other utility to the very adequate Saleh for a while.

Rennac > L'Arachel. She may boss him around, but she can't touch thief utility at all. Lol, lategame healer that has to promote at like L11 to be even remotely useful on enemy phase.


Tethys isn't ever useful on enemy phase, and I don't see her budging from approx. top of high tier. ^_^

Without L'Arachel, that garbage costs 10 grand just to control. What reason do you have to ever field him over Colm?

L'Arachel quits being a sixth-rate healer.........eventually........post-game. :lol: Rennac sux on both phases forever.
