If not, have fun I guess. Disagree with the scores or my comments? The Stat Growths and Average Stats not convincing you? Those second opinions ticking you off? Feel free to contribute by e-mailing me scores and comments. Also, there's a 100% chance this guide contains several errors. Please e-mail me concerning them so I can fix them. This guide does contain spoilers for the three games. My bad. It also contains opinions. Yeah, I'm full of slip ups. Oh, one more thing, Version 2.00 and above can ONLY be hosted at Gamefaqs or one of it's affiliates. If you are neither, you must host Version 1.00 or lower. ------------------------------------------------------------ TABLE OF CONTENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ I.

The Legal Stuff (copyrights and such) ------------------------------------------------------------ I. VERSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ 0.01 (2/10/04) - Got the basic structure of guide down. 0.9 (3/29/04) - Completed basic guide for submission. 0.91 (4/18/04) - Made some translation adjustments for promotion items, and added first reader scores. Added one question to FAQ. 0.92 (4/25/04) - Correct Karel/Harken recruitment info. Added more reader scores. Edited Contact Info. 0.94 (5/25/04) - Relatively took a while this time. Added scores. Added a notice just before the character scores. 0.95 (7/3/04) - Added more scores, a recruitment fix on Harken, changed Dayan's score due to a mistake on my part, and I've also added the section "What to expect on the next update". 1.00 (4/14/05) - I apologize a ton for taking this long to update. Even then, I only received 9 e-mails concerning my updating this guide, most of the e-mails were just game help or 'were you got sword seals rom, tell me plz'. Added Merlinus section. 2.00 (7/16/05) - I worked on this update for five straight days. It's a complete overhaul, so much so that this guide is nearly 3x bigger than it once was. Holy cows. See below. 2.01 (8/1/05) - Added the first of the scores for FE: The Sacred Stones, and fixed many (though definately not all) of the errors. --------------------- Version 2.00 Updates --------------------- 1) I've added Sacred Stones characters, all 43 of them (that includes the 10 secret characters). I had some difficulty placing some of them (do I place Amelia with the Cavaliers or with the Armors? Eventually, I just put them in a new 'Trainees' section), but they're there. It brings the character total up to 139. 2) I've also completely changed the character format. You'll see what I mean. Second opinions are now in their own section, as are the Best/Worst characters. 3) I've also added Stat Growths for each character (FE8 characters win that by default), and each character's Average ?/20, 20/20, or 10/20/20 stats. They are now both in separate sections. 4) I've changed some characters scores. You whiny ones will know which scores have changed. You'll notice that my reviews for most of the characters are rather short. Well, most of you hate my opinions anyway, so think of it as a blessing. Until I flesh them out next update. 5) Oh yeah, more reader scores. WHAT TO EXPECT ON MY NEXT UPDATE -------------------------------- 1) More reader scores and error fixes. 2) Someone in an e-mail suggested I add in a section for the FE8 characters with opinions as to what to promote them to. With one of the FAQ's answering this question, DON'T expect this section to appear anytime soon. ------------------------------------------------------------ II. INTRODUCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ Hi. My name is Rick Dykes (known online as Rick52), and this is my first guide. The Fire Emblem series has been around for 15 years now, and 9 games have been released in the series' fine history. This guide covers the characters from the three Game Boy Advance Games: Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi (hereby referred to as 'FE6'), Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (the 1st US game, hereby referred to as 'FE7'), and Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki (the 2nd US game aka Sacred Stones, hereby referred to as 'FE8'). Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken and Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi are extremely similar games. They feature the same classes, the same continent and places, the same weaponry. It's basically one big game split into two games covering each generation. Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki is another story. It may not of been a good idea to include them in this game because the class structure is so different. You might take your Fighter (still in section G), and turn him into a Hero (still in section F). But, here they are due to popular request. I do this because I see and hear people talk about who's the better character in this class or that class; or person 1 thinks 'Character A' is a much better 'Class' than 'Character B' while person 2 thinks otherwise, which spans all 3 games. I'd thought I'd add in my opinion on who's good and who's not, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------ III. HOW DOES THIS GUIDE WORK? ------------------------------------------------------------ The 139 Playable characters that span the 3 games (NOT including the Trial Map-only characters in FE6) are divided into subcategories by class. I use this new format: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Z9. Character | Class | Weapon: Whatever they use | FE? | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Whatever their face portrait looks like | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: What they promote to | With: What item you need to promote | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: A quick summary of this character's past or present. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: ??/10 | Fan Rating: An average score provided by readers | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | My opinions on this character goes in this third-to-last row. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The chapter you can acquire this character appears in this row. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | How to recruit this character appears in this final row. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I then follow up with each characters Stat Growths (the % chance a stat will go up per level up), Average Lv 20 promoted stats, and then a factual and opinioned view of who's the best and worst. ------------------------------------------------------------ IV. THE CHARACTER COMPARISON ------------------------------------------------------------ Since this section is pretty darn large, I've put a tidy little feature in. Press CTRL+F to bring up the 'Find' feature, and type in the four letters next to the class you want to go to so you can go directly to that section (for example, typing M.Y.S.M without the periods takes you to the myrmidon section). For those pesky new Sacred Stones classes, I've tacked them onto existing sections. Characters from FE8 have been placed according to their starting class. For the trainee units, Amelia's in the Knights section, Ross in the Fighter, and Ewan in the Mages section. Also, for unpromted characters in FE8, the * indicating weapons after promotion will not apply to all classes (eg Neimi won't be able to use swords if you make her a Sniper). A. Lords Umpromoted..........................(L.R.D.U) (Eliwood, Lyn, Hector, Roy, Eirika, Ephraim) B. Lords Promoted............................(L.R.D.P) (same order as above) C.

Super Magic Users.........................(S.M.U.S) (Athos, Lyon) W. Merlinus..................................(M.L.N.S) (FE7 Merlinus, FE6 Merlinus) NOTICE: The following scores (well, my scores, anyway), are based on a character's usefulness on NORMAL difficulty, not Hard Mode. If that were the case, Zealot would've gotten a -2... ---------------------------------------- A. The Lords - Unpromoted (LRDU) ---------------------------------------- -The Lords are the main characters in Fire Emblem. Usually, they take thrones or gates to complete Chapters. If they die, it's Game Over. So, they're pretty important. Between the three games, there are 6 Lords. -Since the Lords can become much different characters when they promote, I'll put those into two different sections. ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A1. Eliwood | Lord | Weapon: Sword/Rapier | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Red Hair, Blue Armor, does NOT look like SSBM Roy | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Knight Lord | Via: After Ch. 26 (E)/Heaven Seal (H) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Lord of Pherae, son of Marquess Pherae Elbert.

Lyn | Lord | Weapon: Sword/Mani Katti/Wo Dao | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Long Green Hair, Dark Green Sacaen clothing | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Blade Lord | With: Heaven's Seal | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Granddaughter of Marquess Caelin. Grew up in Sacae with her Sacaen | | father Hassar and her Caelin mother Madelyn, both of which were killed by | | bandits months ago. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 7/10 | Fan Rating: 8.20/10 - 30 Votes - 2 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The Lord version of the myrmidon, basically. Good skill and speed, but Str | | is low, as is defense. Don't put her in the front line because of it. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eliwood Route Acquire: Chapter 15 | Hector Route Acquire: Chapter 16 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | She's the starting prologue character. She rejoins at the beginning of the | | above chapters. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A3. Hector | Lord | Weapon: Axe/Wolf Beil | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Blue Hair, Black/Blue Armor | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Great Lord | With: Heaven Seal (E)/ Beat Ch. 28 (H)| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Younger brother of Lord Uther, who is currently in charge of affairs in | | Ostia. Good childhood friend of Eliwood's. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 9/10 | Fan Rating: 9.28/10 - 29 Votes - 14 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | His great defense and his Wolf Beil can get you out of a sticky situation | | (like in Chapter 16x). Sometimes his speed will take a hit, though. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eliwood Route Acquire: Chapter 12 | Hector Route Acquire: Chapter 11 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | In Eliwood's route, he'll appear with Oswin at around turn 3. He's the | | starting character in Hector's route (duh). | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A4. Roy | Lord | Weapon: Sword, Rapier | FE6 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Red Hair, Blue Armor, IS the same Roy from SSBM | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Master Lord | With: Beat Chapter 21 (or 21 Gaiden) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Son of Marquess Pherae (Eliwood is the Marquess at this time). | | Upstanding young chap with a strong sense of justice. He makes an appearance| | in Super Smash Brothers Melee as basically an advertisement; FE6 wasn't | | released in Japan until a few months AFTER the japanese SSBM release. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 5/10 | Fan Rating: 5.92/10 - 12 Votes | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He's the definition of average before promotion. You can have him help give | | damage to someone or whatnot, but he really can't own enemies like other | | units can. You'd best arena him to Lv 20 and not worry about him. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Acquire: Chapter 1 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | As he is the main character of FE6, he's a starting character in the game. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A5. Eirika | Lord | Weapon: Sword/Rapier/Sieglinde | FE8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Teal hair, gold breastplate | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Great Lord | With: Beat Ch. 16 (or Lunar Brace) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: The princess of Renais. As her castle was nearing Grado takeover, she | | was swept out by her guard Seth. Knowing that her brother Ephraim fights on | | for Renais, she feels that she can only do the same. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 7/10 | Fan Rating: 7.72/10 - 9 votes | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | She's alright as an unpromoted Lord, nothing too special. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eirika Route Acquire: Prologue | Ephraim Route Acquire: Chapter 15 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | If you take Ephraim's route after Chapter 8, she'll leave your party and | | won't return until Chapter 15. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | A6. Ephraim | Lord | Weapon: Lance/Reginleif/Siegmund| FE8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Teal hair, armor has various shades of blue | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: Great Lord | With: Beat Ch. 16 (or Solar Brace) | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: The prince of Renais, destined to be king. Using guerrilla-like | | tactics, he and his army drives deep into Grado territory to try to end the | | war. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 8/10 | Fan Rating: 9.06/10 - 9 votes - 3 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Slightly better than Eirika unpromoted. His Reginleif, like the Rapier, is | | excellent in dispatching Armors and Mountees (though it's no Wolf Beil). | | Overall, he's an excellent unit. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eirika Route Acquire: Ch. 15 | Ephraim Route Acquire: Chapter 8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Technically, Ephraim first can be used in Chapter 5x, but then disappears | | until partway into Chapter 8. If you decide to go Eirika's route, he'll | | leave your party up until Chapter 15. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** ---------------------------------------- B. The Lords - Promoted (LRDP) ---------------------------------------- The promoted forms of each of the four Lords. Many fields will be missing here because they've been already filled in section A for these guys and gals. * indicates new weapon upon upgrade. ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B1. Eliwood | Knight Lord | Weapon: Sword/Rapier/*Lance | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 7/10 | Fan Rating: 7.20/10 - 25 Votes - 1 ten | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eliwood gets the job done, and adding spears is nice, but compared to what | | happens to the other three in promotion, Eliwood is a near afterthough. He | | can also use Durandal, but it's so heavy it's a non-factor. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B2. Lyn | Blade Lord |Weapon:Sword/ManiKatti/WoDao/*Bow| FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 9/10 | Fan Rating: 9.27/10 - 26 Votes - 6 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Wow. The addition of bows alone makes her awesome. You'd be surprise how | | often she criticals with it, despite the nubmers. Her power still isn't that| | great, though, and defense isn't too hot either. She can use the Sol Katti | | upon promotion, though it's just a stronger Mani Katti. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B3. Hector | Great Lord | Weapon: Axe/Wolf Beil/*Sword | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 10/10 | Fan Rating: 9.77/10 - 30 Votes - 23 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | We all agree, promoted Hector is unstoppable. High HP, high Str, high Def, | | his only real weakness is his Speed, but its really hard for anyone to take | | advantage of that. He can use Armads, but he really doesn't need to. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B4. Roy | Master Lord | Weapon: Sword/Rapier | FE6 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 9/10 | Fan Rating: 8.22/10 - 9 Votes | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He's not much better promoted unless you let him tear loose with the Sword | | of Seals, quite possibly the best weapon in all three games combined. He is | | the only one who can wield it, and that's why he gets the score of 9. Forget| | to fix it with Hammerne, and Roy will be back to average, but with it, only | | Hector can stand against him. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B5. Eirika | Great Lord | Weapon: Sword/Rapier/Sieglinde | FE8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 9/10 | Fan Rating: 8.39/10 - 9 Votes - 2 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | In the many times I've been able to get Eirika to 20/20, she's failed to max | | Str only a few times, and normally doesn't max Res or HP. Other than that, | | she'll max the other stats out (even Def), and will be an excellent unit. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | B6. Ephraim | Great Lord | Weapon: Lance/Reginleif/Siegmund| FE8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 10/10 | Fan Rating: 8.94/10 - 9 votes - 4 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Before I continue, why'd NOA choose 'Great Lord' as his and Eirika's class? | | The Japanese 'Master Lord' or even Eliwood's 'Knight Lord' makes more sense. | | Don't give them the class that Hector once used, as Hector's Great Lord is | | quite different than the Renais twins Great Lord. But, I digress. Ephraim, | | like his sister, will be busy maxing his stats out, except for Luck and Res. | | Since those two stats aren't as important as Str, that's a plus for Ephraim. | | But, his Speed cap is 24 for some reason, so his greatness is limited. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** ---------------------------------------- C. Knight-General (KNGN) ---------------------------------------- -The Knight/General is the 'Tank' class of Fire Emblem games. Though usually slow in both speed in movement, these units have high defense and strength and can take out armies at a time, given they can actually reach those armies before someone else wipes them out. The Knights in Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals can Triangle Attack, a combination attack that never misses and deals three times the damage (nine times if you critical). -NOTE: In the japanese games, 'Knight' is referred to as 'Armor Knight', since Knights in older Fire Emblem games refer to characters that were dismounted from their horses/pegasi/dragons. I'll call them Armor Knights here. -NOTE2: For the FE6 characters, I'll be using the class names used in that game. For example, here I'll be using 'Armor Knight' for the FE6 guys instead of 'Knight'. I'm crazy that way. A * indicates a weapon that character can only use AFTER promotion (if that character is already promoted, no asterisk is needed). ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C1. Wallace | Knight | Weapon: Lance/*Axe | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Bald, wears gray armor | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: General | With: Knight's Crest or Earth Seal | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Retired Caelin soldier.

Afterwards, he gets lost in his new training regiment. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 5/10 | Fan Rating: 5.04/10 - 26 Votes | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He can take out all sorts of weaklings in Lyn's story. But, when you get him| | back later, enemies know better. Wallace is far inferior to Oswin, moreso | | if you were forced to promote him in Chapter 8. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eliwood Route Acquire: Chapter 23 | Hector Route Acquire: Chapter 24 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | By the time you reach the necessary chapter, the combined levels of Eliwood, | | Lyn, and Hector must be LESS than 50. This way, you'll reach a fog-of-war | | level with Lloyd as the boss (if they're over 50, it'll be a town level). | | Wallace is in the lower right part of the map, talk to him with just about | | anyone from Caelin. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C2. Oswin | Knight | Weapon: Lance/*Axe | FE7 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Brown hair, older, Orange Armor | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: General | With: Knight's Crest or Earth Seal | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: One of Ostia's finest Knights. In service to Lord Uther, he is ordered | | to tag along with Hector to make sure he doesn't screw around or die. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Rating: 8/10 | Fan Rating: 9.03/10 - 29 Votes - 9 tens | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He won't disappoint, even though he does come at Level 9. Defense and | | Strength are his high points, and nothing will seriously hamper him. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Eliwood Route Acquire: Chapter 12 | Hector Route Acquire: Chapter 12 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | If you take Eliwood's route, he'll join in Turn 3 with Hector. If you take | | Hector's route, he'll join at the beginning of Chapter 12. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C3. Bors | Armor Knight | Weapon: Lance/*Axe | FE6 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Fancy Green Hair and smug smile, Gold Armor | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: General | With: Knight's Crest | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Wendy's brother, an Ostian Knight.

Sometimes he'll surpass even Wendy, but other times he | | can't do much better than Barth or Douglas. He can triangle attack with | | Wendy and Barth, which redeems him. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Acquire: Chapter 1 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He's one of the starting characters in FE6. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C4.

Alongside Bors and Barth, the | | three of them can complete the only Armor Knight Triangle Attack in | | FE History. Her stat gains are excellent. She starts at Level 1, and | | considering when you get her, you'll need to be patient training her. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Acquire: Chapter 8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | She, Barth, and Oujay will pop up in the northwest corner a few turns into | | Chapter 8. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C5. Barth | Armor Knight | Weapon: Lance/*Axe | FE6 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Appearance: Buzzcut, large, teal armor | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Promotion: General | With: Knight's Crest | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bio: Yet another Ostian Knight.

Unlike Oswin, his high | | starting level means only bad things, as his growths can't make up for it. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Acquire: Chapter 8 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | He, Wendy, and Oujay will pop up in the northwest corner a few turns into | | Chapter 8. | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | C6.

A good amount of people can | | talk to him, but nothing doing, he'll still be an enemy. So, go beat the | | crap outta Narshen and beat Chapter 16 without killing Douglas (trapping him | | with a meatshield + healer is a good way to keep him occupied).

Cavalier-Paladin/Great Knight (CVPL) ---------------------------------------- -Another Fire Emblem mainstay. The mounted cavalier is often fast (movement wise, obviously), but the majority of them only specialize in maxing out one or two stats. It's usually a good idea to have one or two around, but don't bring out the whole lot of them. In total, there are 18 Cavaliers/Paladins/ Great Knights, though two of those are Marcus. -Note: In the Japanese game, 'Cavalier' is called 'Social Knight'. It's been like that since the original Fire Emblem for the NES. Why it's called that is beyond me. -Note2: The Paladins in FE6/7 can use Swords, Lances, and Axes. In FE8, Axes are removed from the Paladin's arsenal, in an attempt to give people a reason to have units go to Great Knight instead (as GK's have all three). A * indicates a weapon that character can only use AFTER promotion (if that character is already promoted, no asterisk is needed). ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | D1.

There are a total of 6 units of these types. -Note: In the Japanese version of Fire Emblem US, Brigands were called 'Mountaintheifs', Pirates were called 'Marinetheifs', and those odd Corsair classes were called 'Laketheifs'. Also, in Sword of Seals, Brigands were referred to as 'Bandits'. -Note 2: In Sword of Seals, Brigands and Pirates promote via the standard Heroes Crest. In FE7 & FE8, Pirates (or, more specifically, Dart), has to use the new Ocean Seal. Additionally, Pirates (read: Dart) cannot use the Earth Seal.

Pegasus Knight-Falcoknight (PKFK) ---------------------------------------- -Pegasus Knights are the first winged units you receive. The class always exclusive to women, terrain does not affect the movement of Pegasus Knights, and neither does battle bonuses that terrain gives. Arrows deal triple damage to Pegasus Knights (as do wind spells in SoS), but the Delphi Shield (acquired in Ch.26E/27H US, Ch.16 SoS - steal from boss) remedies that. Weaker P. Knights can level up best by defeating myrmidons and all magic users. Also, in both games, the three P. Knights you get can Triangle Attack. There are 9 Pegasus Knights in all, 2 sets of sisters. -NOTE: In the japanese games, 'Falcoknight' is called 'Falconknight'. Note the extra 'n'. -NOTE2: In FE8, you have the option of making Pegasus Knights into Wyvern Knights. Many prefer WK's, but I don't. I like the ability to use those light-as-a-feather swords over Pierce (it's overrated, admit it. Unless you fight a General. But that's uncommon). A * indicates a weapon that character can only use AFTER promotion (if that character is already promoted, no asterisk is needed). ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | I1.

They have the same lack of terrain bonuses as Pegasus Knights and are just as weak against arrows and wind spells (SoS). Unlike Pegasus Knights, Wyvern Riders have more defense, but much lower resistance. The Delphi Shield can help against arrows, so with that equipped, Wyvern Riders can become formidable opponents. -NOTE: In the japanese games, the classes are named "Dragon Knight" and "Dragon Master", respectively. I understand the change from 'Dragon' to 'Wyvern' to avoid story confusion (We're trying to stop dragons from coming to Elibe, but we have a couple of people who ride them!), but the name 'Wyvern Lord' bugs the crap outta me. The Lord moniker is solely for the main character(s), not people like Vaida... that just gets to me. -FUN NOTE: In Fire Emblems 1 and 3 (the two that starred Marth), Pegasus Knights promoted to Dragon Knights.

Their only weapon, the Bow, serves them well, though, so don't count them out. Personally, I prefer a Sniper over a Nomadic Trooper because the Sniper knows it's place rather than deciding whether to have the Nmd Trooper use a sword or bow. The Archer/Sniper is the only class that can use the long-range Battista's that are scattered about in various chapters. Their arrows are killer against flying units. There are 7 archers in all. -NOTE: In FE8, Archers can promote into Rangers, which are like Nomadic Troopers but without the stupid nomad theme to it.

Nomad-Nomadic Trooper, Ranger (NMNT) ---------------------------------------- -Like the archer, the nomad's primary weapon is the bow. Unlike the archer, however, the nomad has higher movement due to it's being mounted, and gains the ability to use swords after promotion. I still stick by my preference of the archer, however, since they know their place. Don't know what I mean? Tough. Nomads all hail from Sacae (and they all like green hair...), and most of them have their own honor code, etc. There are a total of 4 Nomads in the two games (only 1 in US FE...) -In FE8, the Nomads are gone (mainly because there is no Sacae in the game). The closest thing is the Ranger, which Mercenaries and Archers can promote into. It's basically a Nomadic Trooper, but without the crappy nomad theme (as shown via the sword animation). The only default Ranger, the secret character Hayden, is listed here. A * indicates a weapon that character can only use AFTER promotion (if that character is already promoted, no asterisk is needed). ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | L1.

Clerics are the first healing units you'll get in both games, so you'll be using them quite often until you get a troubadour. There are 10 characters under these classes. -NOTE: The Monk class does not appear in FE6, as it made it's initial appearance in FE7. In FE6 (and again in FE8), you can consider the female healer the Cleric, and the male healer the Priest (though in FE6, the men were called Clerics too). -NOTE TWO: In the japanese version of Fire Emblem 7, 'Cleric' is called 'Sister', like in the old Fire Emblem games.

Generally, Shamans are slow and inaccurate, the magic version of Fighters really. They stand no chance against Light magic, and their spells are heavy. The dark spells themselves are interesting. Luna ignores resistances, and has a crit rate, making it the perfect boss killer, and Nosferatu drains health, the only attack magic that can (the Rune Sword's distance attack uses the same Nosferatu animation). There are 5 shamans in the game. -NOTE: In FE8, Shamans can promote into a new class: Summoner. They can create Axe Phantoms to aid them for whatever reason. To counteract that, Druids in FE8 can use Anima magic.

He can steal non-weapons from opponents, given he/she has higher speed, and, with the lockpick, unlock doors and treasure chests. They also have incredible sight in fog-of-war maps. The Assassin class, available in FE7/8, loses the ability to steal, but instead gains the One-Hit KO (OHKO). The Assassin can deal a single hit to cause death to their opponent, regardless of the amount of damage the attack would have otherwise of done. The OHKO gives the Assassin much more experience than normal as well. The Rogue class, only in FE8, are a true upgrade from thieves. They can open doors and chests without the use of lockpicks. A true utility unit. There are 8 units in all. -NOTE: I will not be rating them on their ability to do thieves' jobs like steal/open. That's what they're supposed to do. I'll rate them as fighters. -NOTE2: There is no Assassin class in Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals. That means the three thieves in that game can not promote. -NOTE3: The Thieves in Fire Emblem US can only promote using the Fell Contract, the Earth Emblem does not work on them. -NOTE4: Colm, the lone thief you get in FE8, can promote using the Ocean Seal, formerly only a Pirate promotional item. I'm not sure if the Master Seal will work on Colm or not, but I'll assume it does. -NOTE5: The Rogue class, exclusive to FE8, can opens doors and chests without the use of lockpicks.

Manakete/Mamkute (MMKT) ---------------------------------------- -Basically, they're dragons that are in human form to conserve their energy. For the most part, they live exponentially longer than your average human, and possess great powers. In FE6, you face a bunch of soulless war dragons that are of the Mamkute class. The closest thing to it in FE7 is the final boss, and the closest enemy to it in FE8 are the Draco Zombies. Most normal Mamkutes, when in human form, keep their true powers in the form of Dragon stones, and use that power when they fight in battle. -NOTE: There haven't been many playable people in this class, 4 total in FE's history (Banut and Chiki being the other two, and the dragons in Path of Radiance don't count). -NOTE2: For FE1, 3, and 6, the common term used to describe the units that transformed into dragons was 'Mamkute' (or a similar spelling). It's been like that for ages, and then all of a sudden, Nintendo of America decides to be ...I dunno... and change it to 'Manakete'. The 'Mana' part I'm okay with, and makes some sense. 'Kete'!? I keep thinking about the Parakeet, that bird. I could just say screw it, and use Mamkute, Social Knight, Dragon Master everywhere, but, whatever. I don't care. Fae's a Mamkute (yes, partly oxymoronic right there with translations, I know), and Myrrh's a Manakete. ******************************************************************************** |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | T1.

He's an Archsage, and can use all four magic types, coming with his personal tome Forblaze (among other legendary weapons). In FE8, Lyon the Necromancer, main antagonist and a secret character, can use Dark magic and staves, including his personal tome Naglfar.

Eliwood finds him trembling in fear in at night in Chapter 13x (if you accessed 13x), and from there, Merlinus becomes quite the Pherean, and becomes one of Roy's top advisors in Sword of Seals. He's quite the shy little guy in US Fire Emblem, but is quite shrewd and disrespectful towards others outside of Pherae in SoS, particularly towards women. Must've been that Vaida support. -NOTE: Obviously, there is no Merlinus in FE8. There's a Supply option that works like Merlinus does, but it's not an actual character. -NOTE2: There are two types of Transporters. Transporter(1) is the tent type Merlinus starts out as in FE7, and Transporter(2) is the wheeled caravan that Merlinus can promote to and start out as in FE6. -NOTE3: Yes, I know I went straight from 'U' to 'W'.

SECOND OPINIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ This section contains comments that other readers have sent me via e-mail (well, good comments at least), as well as the score they sent in for that character. Some make you think, others make you laugh. All in all, we all disagree. ...especially on Erk. I don't think raising his score up to 7 is going to silence you guys... Also, I'm not editing these, so any spelling/grammar mistakes you see are not mine... 'DARKKNIGHT2.0' --------------- on Erk, Pent, and Nino (no score given): "I found Erk the best of the 3 Mages/Sages. Maybe it's because I trained my magic users better than my fighters, lords, ect. I upgraded him at level 17 to a sage, and he was competing with Canas as the magic user in my group. After I got Pent, I found that Erk had slightly lower speed, defense, and luck than Pent, but better Magic, res., and skill. Nino, though the luckiest by far, wasn't as good as both of the other 2 Sages. Thank you for reading my opinion." Stevie Franchise --------------- on Wallace (3.5): "Essentially Lyn's answer to Marcus" on Heath (8.5): "The differences between a pegasus and a wyvern are usually very pronounced, but Heath is sort of a liason as he seems to have an unusually fast, magic-resistant, weak wyvern. He is a well-rounded character, but the high quality of fliers in this game makes him less useful than he should be." FireLizard --------------- on Oujay (10): "THE best Hero in the game" on Sophia (7): "She's great once on par, but it's painful getting there" on Jaffar (10): "but he's no fun to use because he's so strong to begin with" on my guide (ego-boost++): "Great FAQ!" FFForever --------------- on Lowen (8): "Give the guy Credit man! He's VERY effective early one, with his High Def." on Dorcas (5): "I'm Powerful! I Have a healthy amount of HP! *gets butchered by Mages*" Spectre -------------- on Erk (9): "Oh come on, he's good enough. Maxing out Magic and Speed is something worth noting" RudeKaiser99 ------------- on Isadora (no score given): "And by the way, Isadora sucks! (Look at her con and you'll know right.)" Moriya ------------ on Dorcas (5): "Blah." on Geitz (5): "Blah again." on Wil (8) and Rebecca (10): "Solid archer, but gets easily shadowed by Rebecca. I mean, Wil takes hits and survives quite nicely, while Rebecca normally DOENS'T take hits, which is much better. Besides, she is much faster and can be just as strong as him with the right supports (Dart)." on Renault (2): "Worse than Marcus. Can't be used to battle with that terrible strength, and it's a pain in the ass to have to take him to the final chapter in order to get those supports... The only thing that gives him one point is his Fortify staff." Silverflame --------------- on the Lucius vs. Serra argument (no score given) WARNING: WALL OF TEXT "There was a time on the GameFAQs message boards where I would post over and over again long arguments about why I think Serra is nearly always just as good as Lucius, if not better. Try as a I might, I could not change the public opinion there, so I gave up. However, the fact that you said that "Lucius is great and Serra can easily become as great." gives me hope that you will actually listen to my arguments. "Every time I've used him, he always comes close to maxing out magic, skill, speed, and resistance." That almost always happens with Lucius, and that is why most people believe that Lucius is a good character, which he is. But his stats are actually deceptively weak, just look at how low his stat max caps are. Power at 25, speed at 24, skill at 26. His resistance at 30 is pretty high, though. But other than skill, Serra is usually very close to those numbers Lucius has, about one or two points lower, usually. Skill Lucius has Serra beat by about 8 points (I'm using the average max stats FAQ numbers, in case you didn't know). Moving on to defense, Lucius's worst nightmare, Serra is slightly better, about as much as Lucius is better in the mag power, speed, and res. But it is the luck that Serra completely destroys Lucius in. On average, Serra will be about 20 points ahead. So then comes to the question, which is more important, 8 points of skill or 20 points of luck? Well, given the formulas, skill will add about 4 points of critical, and more hit rate, which I consider irrevelant because both have high enough skill to almost always hit with 100% anyway. 20 points of luck translates to an extra 20 points of dodge. Given the con difference (2), it can drop down to 16 points of dodge. So now we have 4 points of critical versus 16 points of dodge. Considering that the weapon triangle bonus is 16 points, and one cannot really expect someone with a 4% chance of critical to critical at the right moment, we can say that the 20 points of luck is slightly more useful than the 8 points of skill. Then, do the extra 20 points of luck make up for being one or two points behind in everything else? Serra is a master at dodging with her luck, and yet she has more defense than Lucius. Lucius needs the dodging the most because his defense is so low. His higher speed could make up for this, except his speed maxes at the very low 24. Serra and Lucius usually have the same speed anyway. So what happens with Lucius is that he is a mediocre dodger with extremely lacking defense, making him very fragile to use. Serra can dodge quite well, and has slightly better defense, but is a few points behind in the other stats. At this point the two would be about even, then we look at what I consider to be Lucius's biggest weak point: His low stat caps. He will almost always hit the caps, but will never be able to go any further. The only stats that don't max out are his luck and defense, which are so low that a few points either way mean almost nothing. Serra, meanwhile, has lots of potential, as her stat caps are higher than Lucius. So what happens is Serra becomes more of a gamble, she can go either way, which I think makes her a much more interesting character to use. So now I conclude that the end decision is up to personal preference. Lucius will be pretty much unaffected by the RNG, as he will turn out about the same every time. Serra has more potential but can also swing the other way. But no matter what, both Serra and Lucius fare very well during the later chapters and are both extremely good bishops. And one last point, both are about equal in leveling, I think. Lucius has a great early game with all those shamans running around, but Serra benefits greatly from Lyn's tutorial (got her to around level 10 unpremoted from the tutorial alone) if you plan ahead. I find it quite strange that I have no problem leveling Serra but never really feel up to leveling Nino... whatever, I'm just weird. Anyways, if you actually read this long pointless rant that you most likely already knew anyway, props to you. If you needed the time for something else, well then I understand. I'm just pointing out that Serra is much closer to Lucius than one might think. Of course it is all personal preference so if you like Lucius better then by all means like Lucius better. And thus, my long mindless drivel is finished. Again, wonderful job on the FAQ. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some waiting for E3 2k4 to do... hopefully you're just as excited about the newly announced Fire Emblem GC as I am, as well as other major secrets to be revealed at E3.

And how he doesn't fill a single one. Not even close on any of them. Sure, most of his stats are okay, but his much vaunted high-for-a-magic-user defense isn't really high enough to matter. A defense around 18 or so isn't that much better than one around 12 when a powerful melee unit attacks you. Also, if his sub-20 speed wasn't bad enough, anything but flux will drop his speed another2 or 3 to 8 or 9 since his con isn't as high as you'd think. The magic just doesn't make the unit.

Berserk Blade --------------- on Promoted Ephraim (5): "OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED EPRIHAM! YOU BASTARDS! Seriously, for other promoted units, he's just not as good. Sure, he's better unpromoted and gets that extra movement, but those caps are just crap, espically consdering he could have gone WAAAAAAAAAY higher in str and speed. Plus, his defense was ALWAYS worse than EIRIKA'S to me. And I'm pretty sure that was WITHOUT stat-ups." I'll add more here, especially with the addition of Sacred Stones characters, when it seems necessary... Shawn Simms --------------- on Isadora (4): "I like Isadora, and I'd really like to rate her higher, but the truth is she just isn't very good. She's got great Speed, and usually I like that in units, but her terrible Strength makes it nearly impossible for her to damage any units significantly enough, and her Constitution is so low that she can only use an Iron Sword without a Speed penalty. Add to that that she has low Defense, and her Speed isn't high enough to erase that weakness, especially if she's being weighed down with a weapon she might actually be able to do damage with. With a Body Ring and an Angelic Robe, she has the potential to become good, but without any stat-up items, she just can't cut it. It's a pity, I really like Isadora." on Seth (9): "I don't care what anybody says, Seth is not your garden-variety Jeigan character. He's got crazy growths, and his only true weakness is his below-average HP. No matter how I promote/raise my Fordes and Franzs and Kyles, they seldom turn out as good as Seth. He has pretty average starting stats, but his good growth rates erase the average all of those except for HP. If he had an Angelic Robe's worth of HP when he started, he'd be a ten. But instead, you'll have to give him an Angelic Robe yourself, and he stays a nine." on Wil (7): "He's good, but he doesn't have the Speed to double attack, and that's what an Archer needs most. He'll have more Strength and Defense than Rebecca, but Rebecca will still do more damage because of her double attacks and Defense doesn't really matter for an Archer because they are seldom hit. Like I said, he's not bad. Rebecca just makes him look like a joke. If Rebecca had a freak accident when she was a child, Wil would probably be a lot better." on Yodel (2): "He sucks. He's got good Resistance, but that's it. Nothing else even makes him decent. He's a terrible character you get at the end of the game who isn't even worth using. I don't understand how Renault could have a worse fan rating than this goober, at least Renault could support your units a bit, this idiot can't do anything." on Sophia (8): "Her main problem is the level she starts on. It's difficult to train her up, but not Nino-level annoying. She'll usually have better Magic and Luck than Ray, and she beats him hands down in Resistance, but her Skill and Speed tend to lag when compared to Ray. Still, she's a more formidable mage then Ray and I think she's just a tad bit more useful." Vex --------------- on Canas (7): "What's all the fuss about?" CraynTheEchidna --------------- on Gilliam (3): "He's so overated in my opinion.. More so than Canas. Just use Amelia, for the sake of all that is fast. WHY MUST HE LET THE SLOW, FAT AND RELATIVELY UGLY AXEWEILDERS DOUBLE ATTACK HIM?! ;_;" ------------------------------------------------------------ VI. STAT GROWTHS ------------------------------------------------------------ I'll go in similar order to section IV. Note: No, I don't have starting stats.

AVERAGE CHARACTER STATS ------------------------------------------------------------ (*) Indicates a Maxed stat. (+) Indicates the Unit's best stat. There can be ties. (-) Indicates the Unit's worst stat. There can be ties. -'StL' stands for 'Starting Level'. Some characters can be recruited at different times with different levels, so their max stats are different. -The 'u' stands for 'Unpromted', 'p' for 'Promoted', and 't' for Trainee. -I don't have the stat caps (except for where a stat is maxed out), but it's not necessary. -In FE8, some characters may start at different levels depening on which route you get them (for example, you get Innes at Lv 1 if you went Eirika's way, but if you went Ephraim's, he comes at Lv 3). These Average stats assume you got this character at their lower level. As far as I know, this affects Innes, Duessel, Cormag, Amelia (if you let her go in Eirika Ch. 9), and Saleh. Knoll's starting stats may also vary depending on which route you take. I may fix this in a later update. -Stat caps can change depending on class, gender, and even game. So, they vary a crapload. -You'll notice a number next to the chart, that's each character's stats all added together (HP thru Con). For more comparison. -I'm just full of notes. One last thing: in FE7/8, these average stats are without Afa's Drops/Metis' Tome, and in FE7, these are without the aid of your Tactician's affinity.

------------------------------------------------------------ VIII. THE BEST AND THE WORST CHARACTERS ------------------------------------------------------------ -I'll split this into two halves: the fact half and the opinion half. In the fact half, in each promoted class category (via section VII) it'll show the best character in each class (like the best/worst in strength, in skill, etc.), followed by an best/worst in all stats added up. The opinion half will work like the Best/Worst setup I used in previous versions, but more fleshed out: for each of the 21 sections above, I'll sort each character in order from 1st to worst. I'll also do it for the fan ratings, but since you guys haven't done a chance to rate the Sacred Stones characters, they're left out. By the time you're through this section, you'll probably have all the character comparison you'll need for some time. -------------------- The Fact Half -------------------- |----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| | Promoted Lord (6) | Best | Worst | |----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| | Hit Points (HP) | Ephraim (55) | Lyn (46) | | Strength (Str) | Hector (30) | Lyn/Eirika (21) | | Skill (Skl) | Lyn/Eirika (29) | Eliwood/Hector (24) | | Speed (Spd) | Lyn/Eirika (30) | Hector (21) | | Luck (Lck) | Roy (30) | Hector (14) | | Defense (Def) | Hector (28) | Lyn (13) | | Resistance (Res) | Eirika (17) | Hector (15) | | Constitution (Con) | Hector (15) | Lyn (6) | | Combined Best/Worst | Ephraim (215) | Lyn (187) | |----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| |----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| | General (10) | Best | Worst | |----------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| | Hit Points (HP) | Gilliam (60) | Lv1 Gen.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) ------------------------------------------------------------ Q: Is Roy in any of these games? A: Yes, Roy is the main character in Sword of Seals, and makes a cameo appearance in Fire Emblem US. Q: Is Marth in any of these games? A: I could say 'yes', and give you a false way of acquiring him, but I won't be that mean. Q: So... is Marth in- A: N. O. NO. Q: For Thany/Sue/Lilina/Sophia, you say that she's a possible bride for Roy. Why? A: Get Roy's support up to 'A' with any of those four, and he'll end up marrying them. Lucky guy. Q: Is/when will Sword of Seals make it to American audiences? A: Beats me, but don't e-mail me about it. Q: You thought 'charactername' sucked/rocked!? What's wrong with you!? A: It's all about the luck. Simply put, my bad/good character grew differently than your character. Q: For the Sword of Seals characters, why'd you spell 'Name' as 'differently spelled name'? A: It's all about the translation. If/when the game comes stateside, I'll change the names as the official translations seem fit. Fire Emblem 7 already has some translated: 'Roy', 'Lilina', 'Niime', 'Fae', and also 'Sophia' (again, thanks to Ice Dragon for the fix). There may be more. Q: Why are some of the contributers in quotations? A: Those are people that did not give me an alias. So, I used the first part of their e-mail addresses, excluding the @whatever part. Q: In Chapter 22 in Sword of Seals, how do I- A: Have someone stand on the red tiles on the upper corners of the map. Then have Roy stand next to the gate. Q: Hey, I think I found some false info in the guide. Or, there's some stuff relevant to the layout of the guide missing. A: Then e-mail me what is false/omitted in the guide (whether it be appearance, the quick bio's, or the recruitment process), and I'll edit it in future versions. Q: Why are you so down on Erk? A: Why are you so all over him? Represent? Q: Okay, now seriously answer my question. A: Simply put, Nino can and normally will surpass Erk in stats. I've had more opportunities to use Erk (partly for support reasons). His stats have always ended up slightly above average, and normally lower than that of Nino's. Apparantly, you don't have that same experience with him. Good for you then. Q: You know, it's been statistically proven Wil/Rutger is better than Rebecca/Fil. The latter only have better Luck and Resistance, on average. A: So I've read. My argument for Wil and Rebecca still stand. If you're smart with how you handle your archers, the only way they should be attacked is via Battistas (non threat) or via long range magic. Ad: Rebecca. Plus, she does have better Average Speed, and that helps. As for Fil/Rutger, it's tough to go against the average stats stating Rutger bests Fil in HP/Str/Def/Con whereas Fil wins only in Lck/Res. Many would think I should change my Fil rating down from 10 and raise Rutger's up from 7, especially since Rutger can have that hawt support from Clarine. But hey, I'm not gonna wimp out and change my scores because of such trifle like 'facts'. Nosiree. I guess my only defense of Fil is that she, uh, rocks. Meh. Q: How do you [insert game help question]? A: I've been nice in replying to many of the e-mails asking for game help or clarification. But, come on, try to read the other FAQ's. If you can find this FAQ, you can find the other ones. Q: Give me a link to where you got the Sword of Seals. A: No. Go away. Quit making my 56k waste it's time deleting your e-mail. Q: Did you really need to call out that one guy who used all caps, etc.? A: You read the message he sent, and you tell me: "First of all, LYN HAS BLUE HAIR AND CLOTHES!!! YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR COLORS!!! SAIN'S HAIR ISN'T GREEN!!! IT'S DARK BROWN!!! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! Did I make myself clear?" Only, imagine the all caps part of that message at Font Size 48. As per my 'I won't accept' rules below: 'I won't accept [...] flaming' So, now you know why. You become known for being a douche who e-flamed somebody who innocently got a couple of colors wrong. Was it worth it? Sadly, it might of been. And he e-mailed me again. See the contributors for more on that. Q: You should add stat growths and expected stats. A: That's not a question, and I already did. Q: You should add Sacred Stones characters. A: Again, not a question, and again, I already did. Q: So, why'd you change some of the scores? A: I only used some of the characters once, or even less than that. So, after another playthrough using some of those less-used characters, there were some that were worthy of a score change, and there ya go. Q: I beat the tower and ruins, but no one is unlocked. Why? A: You must beat the areas in the Creature Campaign, which can be accessed after you beat the game (go to 'Extras', then 'Map', then your completed file). Q: For FE8, who should I promote [character] into? In nearly every instance, both classes have their advantages and disadvantages. Others can tell you their personal opinion, but it may end up being far from yours when it's said and done later, because they'll like one class for one reason, while you'll hate the same class for another. So, simply put, analyze the strengths/weaknesses of the classes (using FAQ's and my chart, of course) and make your own decision. The person best fit to answer your question is you. Q: What do you mean by '3rd Tier Recruit', etc., or more noobishly, what are Super Trainees? A: Beat the game twice, once with Eirika as your main lord, the other time with Ephraim. On the third playthrough, when you level Ross, Amelia or Ewan to level 10, when they promote, you'll have a third promotion option: their current class. Meaning you can promote Ross from a Journeyman to a Journeyman, etc. This counts as your unpromoted class. Get them to Lv 20 (or at least 10) and you can promote them again, but this time you'll need an item (like a normal unpromoted class): Journeyman (2) Ross -> Heroes Crest -> Journeyman (3) or Hero Recruit (2) Amelia -> Knight's Crest -> Recruit (3) or Paladin Pupil (2) Ewan -> Guiding Ring -> Pupil (3) or Sage That (3) indicates the promoted form of the original class, otherwise known as the 'Super Trainee'. 3rd-tier Journeyman gets +15% to Crit (which Berserkers get anyway). 3rd-tier Recruits get the same bonus (which no other lance user has), and 3rd-tier Pupils can use Light, Dark, and Anima magic (which no other class can do). So, please, DON'T e-mail me about the Super Trainees (or the Secret Characters, for that matter). That goes for those who've looked at my chart, as well. ------------------------------------------------------------ X. CONTACT INFO ------------------------------------------------------------ -Contact me via this e-mail: extraguy1@yahoo.com -Yeah, by how the name looks, it's an extra e-mail address I just came up with. I don't want my main e-mail inbox getting clogged up. So, the extraguy1 account is gonna get splattered with info. -Please use a topic name that won't make me want to delete that message post-haste. Example 'Guide Omission' or 'Comments' are good. Don't be lazy and use 'Hey' or something of that sort. I won't read it. -I'll try my best to reply to all the e-mails I read. If I don't reply to yours, that probably means I didn't read it. See below to ensure a reply. DO e-mail me this (if you want): -Comments/Thoughts on the guide. -Information that I made a mistake on or omitted involving stuff I mentioned in the FAQ. -Ratings for the 139 characters. Fan rating helps gives readers a second opinion. Make sure to give me a name in which you wish to be referred to as in the acknowledgements section. NOTE: Rate the Promted and Unpromted versions of each Lord separately, please. A few votes for the Lords aren't separated like they should be. Annoying. NOTE2: If you do send me ratings, try to avoid using decimal scores (e.g. 8.2 or 7.75). '.5' scores are alright, but keep those on a 'only if necessary' basis. -Second opinions. I may have just asked for it, but since characters in these games can turn out so differently for everyone, and I'm sure some of you have strong feelings about some characters, or strong feelings against me (don't, really). If the opinion is extremely good, I'll add it in. DO NOT e-mail me this (please don't): -The crap 'talk-to-the-hand-smiley guy' up there sent me. -Questions as to how to beat the games. That's why there are things called walkthroughs. This isn't a walkthrough. -Though I did say I will accept opinions about characters, I won't accept flaming, cursing, anything of that stupid sort. Be intelligent about it. You see the consequences for not following this rule. -A question already answered in the guide. If I get too many questions about one topic, I'll add it to the FAQ section. -Attachments. Don't send those. If I see an e-mail with an attachment, I'll dispose of it right quick. -Questions about the Super Trainees or the Secret Characters. They're in the guide now, and also in many others. I won't reply to e-mails asking me about them. Don't bother asking about Trial Map characters either. -Questioning whether or not I think Cloud is cool, since I did bring him up in one section. For the record, I think he's okay, a little too nuts for my taste. I'm asking it from Cloud fan, now. Any e-mail from Cloud fan won't be tolerated either. -NOTE: Breaking any of the DON'T's may result in me taking measures to block you from my e-mail account or me not allowing you to not have any contributions, no matter how great they might be. I'm serious on this. I don't need a bunch of Zealot mails coming in from Zealot fan. ------------------------------------------------------------ XI.
