Ilyana should be lower mid tier. She gets the most chapters out of everyone else in the game. She touches Parts 1, 3 and 4. She's basically the authority on Thunder Magic, which may be the worst type for damage and accuracy but still hits Resistance and then aids her in killing White Dragons and Dheginsea. Being able to provide magical offense for the DB is a good thing, especially since Tormod should just be emergency and Micaiah shouldn't be doing it all herself.


Availability means nothing if you suck through most of it. Ilyana is nothing special in part 1 - a low durability unit in a low durability team. Just added baggage, really.

Then in part 3, she rejoins you're worst unit. With little or no redeeming features. This carries on into part 4. Quite frankly, I'd rather field a unit other than her every time, meaning she's a detriment as she takes away a slot from a better unit.

I can even see Ilyana going down.

I noticed that you have this concept about "infinite exp" for Ike, but there's no such thing because when someone takes a kill, that's one less enemy for everyone else to take out or to weaken for exp beforehand. You should never run out of gold in this game, and there is no Funds rank. While it is true that you should be efficient with the gold you have, you're not even coming close to being a squandering player unless you buy stuff like Silver Longbows, earlygame stat-boosters for Magic and Skill, and other stuff, considering an "efficient" run.


When did i say that?

Oh and you convinced me: Where should they both go, precisly? Personally, i think Mist should go down.

Volug over Nolan in terms of tanking and raping? How? Nolan has the Earth affinity too, but he can support earlier and get massive Evd. He has nice defenses all around and no stat problems whatsoever. Volug has issues later in the game, while Nolan does not. Not having 1~2 range hurts him too much, as well as his lack of being at a high level.


Nolan is vastly inferier to Volug both offensively and defensively. Take 1-5, Volug's starting chapter. Nolan, with a level per chapter, has 31.4 HP, 13.8str, 12.4Spd, 10.4 def, 4.6 res. Volug, on the other hand, has 49HP, 16 str, 19AS, 13 def, 7 res. Volug has an 18 HP lead, 7 spd lead, 3 def lead and 2 res lead. Volug with his fangs have 24 Atk, Nolan with a steel axe has 25 Atk. However, Nolan doesn't double. Volug does. Volug owns Nolan by far.

Latre on, Nolan still has doubling issues (18 AS is not enougth to double as much as Volug). Volug doubles more than Nolan. Yet, Volug still retains his durabiltiy lead (level 20/2 Nolan has 14 def, 1 more than base Volug, but loses out on quite a bit of HP.)

In part 3, Nolan still can't double even the slowest of enemies (Tigers with 16AS), yet Volug without halfshift has 26AS, enougth to double even the fastest cats. Volug also has higher HP still and his def is higher too (18 against Nolan's 15 def). Thus, Volug is better than Nolan for 9 chapters. Nolan is better than Volug for 11, yes. But part 4 counts for less as everyone is awesome at that point. So, overall, Volug >>>> Nolan.

The tier list is to function to show which characters are better than others. Thus, Ulki and Janaff > Tibarn due to their increased usefulness.
