Unit looks cool as fuck but is actually garbage
It's a real shame that the only usable units in FE games are horsemen and fliers
Amelia General is good
>Unit is a jobber
>unit looks cool as fuck
>is also good as fuck
I've been playing through Fire Emblem Fates, and haven't played any of the rest of the series, and I assume their movement is what makes fliers so good? I've been reluctant to use them because their vulnerability to arrows just makes them a huge liability every time they get deployed.
Amelia is the best as a general and anybody saying she is not can fuck off.
mekkah meme xdd
As a lizard-loving kid I fell in love with Fortress mostly because of these bad boys.
Bs op you can make anything you love work
Cavalry are the patrician's unit
Pic unrelated im assuming
armors bad
There's a guy on youtube named Mekkah that's pretty much authority on how to play FE. You should check out his "pitfalls" videos
>unit is not very good but use it anyways because it's fucking cool
Feels good
But they are actually good.

Back to /vg/ with you
Mobility is king in fire emblem, so having 7/8 move and being able to ignore terrain makes you godlike. The archer weakness is barely relevant, just don't be an idiot about it. You're more likely to die to a lucky axe, honestly
Fire emblem in a nutshell, taking the pokemon mentality of using your favourites to the next level
Now I want to Bobby Seliph
When I played Sacred Stones, I checked some guides online and everyone told me to promote Lute into a Sage because it has better stat growth. Being the young idiot who never played a Fire Emblem game before, I believed them.
Looking back, I don't understand how you can possibly justify giving up the insane mobility you get from a Mage Knight in exchange for some marginal stats and caps that you'll probably never even reach anyway.
but the thread is about why generals are bad.
how dare you
SS promotion system is pretty garbage anyway, especially with magic users now being able to use multiple magic types.
I have a friend that thinks Pegasus Knights are the worst unit in the series. One time when joining him on a Let’s Play of Thracia 776, he purposely left Karin behind, and was mocked for fucking himself over.
>he purposely left Karin behind
what an absolute cock
her and mareeta were the MVPs of my thracia run
Mobility + good statsheets are what makds mounted OP in about every game
>so bulky the enemy just ignores him
Fuck kellam was added in the wrong game
fe8 is so fucking easy you might as well get the higher caps that comes with sage for the purposes of fucking around with capped units
>but is actually garbage
Well yeah, if you're using a sword instead of a spear on that armored Chad then you make it garbage. That's your fault user!
I firmly believe there's nothing beneath her boob armor and she's a DFC she-goat
>especially with magic users now being able to use multiple magic types.
Dont really see how this is a problem, its not like the magic triangle has ever mattered.
Any unit is usable (except Sophia) if you just want to play through the game
Can’t hear you over NO DAMAGE
God I wish knights were better in FE6. Bors and Wendy are actually good units stat wise but the game is so against using them
>Huge maps so they always fall behind mounted units
>No defense objectives
>Harsh turn limits for gaiden chapters
>Everything hits so fucking hard in hardmode that a knight being doubled is gonna be murdered in the first 10 chapters.
>Dodge tanking is just way more reliable
I just wanna create walls and triangle attack.
How is Benny as a unit, never used him cause Effie is just a monster of a unit
I love General Amelia but I gotta go paladin for dat ponytail
Pretty solid desu, Effie has damage but Benny is functionally invincible
>character looks cool
>the unit is good
>some shitty anime quirk that has to be mentioned every time the annoying faggot opens his mouth
>I'm ALWAYS sleepy, you guys. Literally every motherfucking second of every hour. *yawns* Boy it's time for my nap, haven't slept in about 30 seconds *yawns* Oh we're outnumbered? Yeah, yeah whatever just let me go back to sleep already. *yawns*

Maps in FE8 are so small that the extra mobility of mounted units isn't as important as other games. But you're correct, the higher stat caps don't make a difference for most units. I usually go Lute Sage just because I prefer the animation and light magic is cool
