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.


Failing to one round Mages/Shamans? You kidding? :( Anyway, Neimi has the advantage of being able to promote as soon as she wants to to lose that I'm-locked-to-bows, since her promotion item is hers only and comes as early as Ch6. That turns her into some sort of prepromote in a can, and since promoting early in FE8 is actually pretty desirable, I can't see why you wouldn't. Of course, it makes her ending averages worse, but her overall results on the map better, and she won't hit 20/20 at any rate. She'll be better off, and able to use Killing Edges before too long.

For supports, she's getting an A with Colm earlier than anyone is getting anything else. If she isn't getting anything out of it, nobody is. The other support is slower, but she also needs it less.

arthur lute


Arthur is actually better than Lute until Lute doubles. That >>> any small advantages like "lol a little bit more damage". Before too long they will both be one rounding pretty much everything.

Horse? Option of Slayer => Option of a Horse. Hell, option for C staves > horsey.

FE7: Yeah, just making sure you weren't confusing the two or something.

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.


Forde and Joshua maybe. Tana has an extremely good case against Gerik at the time he joins, it's just her negative when she joins holds her back. Isn't Saleh Wind too? 8) I like him anyway.

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


Neimi for high tier.

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


That's merely recruitment. You can do that with a base level L'Arachel, and not use her for anything else. At any rate, using her also means spending 5k on a promotion item, while Rennac is prepromoted.

In Scorched Sand, you'll want to dig up your loot with two thieves. In Ruled By Madness, there's two sides with chests. In Last Hope, there's two chest rooms. In Sacred Stone, there's two small chest rooms.

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


Post-game doesn't even count. Seeing through Last Hope's Fog of War (for humongous range at that using a Torch) > that.
