[size=10]Swordmasters vs. Heroes[/size]


This argument is solely statistical. Not which class is cooler, not which characters in each class are cooler, etc. All stats are based off of accurately calculated averages of characters at level 20. All stats are stats in Hard Mode for Fire Emblem 6 and Hector’s Hard Mode for Fire Emblem 7. Thus, it is possible to have a stronger or weaker unit than that listed here due to the fact that Hard Mode bonuses vary.


[size=7]Fire Emblem 6[/size]

# of PCWS(promoted characters w/Swords) – 25
# of PCWA(promoted characters w/Axes) – 20
# of PCWL(promoted characters w/Lances) – 16
# of PCWB(promoted characters w/Bows) – 10

This matters because swords are used by both Swordmasters and Heroes whereas Axes are used only by Heroes.
Winner - Hero

Average Total Stats of Characters
Fir – 206
Rutger – 203
Karel – 192
Dieck – 209
Ojay – 201
Echidna - 163

Average Swordmaster Total Stats – 190.3
Average Hero Total Stats – 191
Winner – Hero

In following table, stats are based off of optimal weapon. The optimal weapon for the Swordmasters is the Killing Edge whereas the optimal weapon for the Heroes is the Silver Sword. The optimal weapon for each class deals the highest damage but does still gives the wielder two hits.

Wow... Oh well heros win! Yay!
Not Waving but Drowning

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

This pretty much reinforces what I've thought all along. Heroes can dish out high enough damage without relying on stronger weapons, unlike Swordmasters. Plus they get the ability to use axes on promotion, making them more versatile.

And if I may be allowed to rant for a moment, I just have to say that Swordmasters make no sense to me. They're supposed to be the ideal sword-users, but I don't think they are. Swords are weaker than lances and axes but more accurate. Maybe it's just me, but the ideal swordsman would not have low strength and high skill, but would have high strength and enough skill to hit enemies.

I'm done ranting now.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to prove that. I simply put all of my heros on one team, and my swordmasters on the other. Heros won, and so I did it between heros. Raven crushed Harken.

How did Raven "crush" Harken if Raven only averages two higher total stats...?

Oh. Wait. Probably crappy normal mode.

Heroes are tanks.
Swordmasters are fairies.
Lloyd's pretty hot though, with that trenchcoat and all.


My reasoning?

Wo dao translates into "Fairy Knife" or something.
And swordmasters have such crappy defense, they tend to die CONSTANTLY.
Click it. Go on.

No.

Just stating that Raven is only slightly better. The match should be even.

FE4 swordmasters and FE9 swordmasters are very much so superior in every aspect.

FE5 swordmasters are a little better.
