then perhaps I'm just a masive idiot for it almost getting the better of me. eventually I just said "Fuck it. Amelia's going in" (she's without a doubt my strongest at the moment). Somehow she managed to dodge a few 60% siege tomes while Joshua has died to a 41%er at least 3 times

Do you not have a res tank to deal with them?

I do, but considering Light magic is kinda strong against Druids (Ewan) and the Heroes there making short work of his physical defense, it didn't amount to much. Amelia has good res, too (being a paladin and all) but she's kind of a crutch at the moment. managed to beat the level by just sending her in there to deal with them

I'll check it out in a bit

Knowing your love for mecha series, it's right up your alley

I personally like it more without skills, which is also partly why I tend to play the gba fe games the most.

sacred stones already had a bit much for my liking.

I feel like Sacred Stones should have either doubled down on them or not use them at all tbh. now they feel like a slight afterthought, some being busted and other quite not so good

If they made a crappy mmo remake of it, it'd be Thracia 76.

She isn't! But due to her growths being close to 40% in every offensive stats, she will perform differently in every run. She is an oddball for sure.

She was a speedy general in my first run while my brother had a slow knight with no defense ... We did disagree on her ^^

The only consistent thing about her is her good Luck stat. She will reach 25 no matter what. It's enough to make her consistent in my eyes.

she was a speedy Cavalier with little attack for me

shes not bad in her own right, but shes outclassed by the majority -if not all other great knights and paladins you can get- and they require less effort to get somewhere. and her growths just dont work particularly well for a general.

shes kind of the middle of the rookie units- ewan comes later but absolutely kicks ass if you grind him up, and ross comes early so can nab exp earlier, and in return becomes a good axe user, and thus a pretty average unit. amelia comes in middle game and just doesnt stand out from units that require much less effort to train.

Very cool! Hate to be the dumb guy, but what game is this?

Fire Emblem Sacred Stones.

In all fairness, the artstyle falls very much in line with the artstyle popular during that time.

true, and I can see that. but that doesn't mean it didn't age about as badly as Gen 1 aged (as in the originals, not the remakes)

fair enough I suppose. sacred stones doesnt really force you to use any units in either case- even fuckin garcia would be viable. its just that amelia is so blegh I wouldnt use her, even though generals, great knights and paladins are amongst my favorite units.

plus, I can use Seth and her while not duping a class, but IDC about that anymore. I'll think about that more when I go through Ephraim's path. Zerker Ross and all (while still using Amelia. I wanna find out if her having 6 str on that level is actually RNG just taking the piss with me or normal)

it's honestly one of the charms I find in Fire Emblem. using a character in a class that, while functional, is kinda an oddball (example: look above) and making it work by playing to their strengths (Once more the same example: Amelia may not hit hard, she does hit often is will usually double, with good movement and dodge chance. as I said, Myrmidon on a Horse)
