How is that wikia from the OP? It seems to have given me reliable info thus far
Yeah, when arguing about FE stuff, now days you really only need 2 things: FEA for non-FE7 stat averages, and Serenes Forest for everything else.
It isn't official, but then again Nintendo would never make an official FE resource like that, and its not like Wikipedia is official either. If anything, since anyone can edit the wiki, it isn't as trustworthy as Serenes Forest. That said, I haven't ever looked through the wiki, so IDK about its quality.
i absolutely love fire emblem i bought the first american game when i was like 7 and i got complete addicted to it. i dont even remember why i bought it except for the fact that the box looked really badass. i was SO bad at the game too because i always used prepromoted heroes. i now have every game which has been released in english and i think sacred stones was my favorite despite it being very easy. not only was the gameplay great, but the animation, story, and even the music was kickass this was my favorite song in fire emblem:

On a completely unrelated note, Wil or Rath in FE7?
for a while it was Wil but I'm sort of feeling Rath
Rath IMO. More mobile, can use swords upon promotion.
Both are kinda meh IMO. I once had a decent Rath but in the last battles he still was the weakest guy in my team.
Really? Like I said earlier, I have ditched Wil for Rath but now of course I am in Eliwood mode so I have no options except for Rebeccca. Is she the best? Who do you use for that game archer-wise

Yep Rebecca is the best IMO. She can be a pain to level tho. I usually went for her or some sniper girl that joins much later (surprisingly good for an already promoted character)... Or no sniper at all xd
I like me some of those promoted axe-bow users. Longbow makes up for their bad mobility. But this is totally personal preference because I love axe users.

Get a Warrior and use them as your archer if you REALLY need a bow. Honestly, I don't see why people think they NEED an archer.

Pretty much. Axes are generally the best weapons in the game, and Magic, Hand Axes and Javelins are usually good enough for you not to need archers at all.

Plus you are pretty much forced to use Lyn in Hector/Eliwood modes, and she gets a bow on promotion too, so you do have guaranteed bow support. Not like you really need it though, since the bow is just another source of physical damage, that happens to be weaker than both lances and axes.
I usually don't feel I need a bow, especially since I tend to keep a lot of mages. Umm... Bartre or Dorcas.
Wrong. Neither. I hate them both because neither one can hit anything. And why on earth would they give you 3 axe users within 2 levels. That is silly.

Dorcas and Bartre are both useless though :| Just use Geitz tbh, doesn't steal valuable XP away from your Cavaliers ;d

I am of course referring to Early Eliwood mode.
Dorcas isn't THAT bad. Bartre sucks though. Also, if you are doing Hard Mode, Geitz is like a million times better than Wallace, since he gets Hard Mode bonus.
Though Sacred Stones was probably the easiest of the series, I did like that the game gave you 2 options for when your class change. It would of been nicer if one option wasn't always insanely better than the other one. Who in their right mind would change Joshua in an assassin over a Sword master? Or Gerik into a Ranger over a Hero?
On an unrelated note, I've always hated how needed Serra and Priscilla are (and how much better they are than other mages -_-), cause I've always hated both of them lol.

Erk is like one of the best units in the game iirc, and Pent is amazing considering that he requires no effort at all to use. Its been a while since I've actually paid attention to the people who make Hard Mode tier lists lol

Erk and Pent are both pretty good, and Pent is kinda required for a couple levels right after you get him, but Priscilla and Serra, IIRC, still blow everyone else out of the water in terms of tier list. Pretty sure they're right under Marcus at the top by most lists lol.

Well, like I've said, its been a while, and I do know those two are near the top, but I'm just saying Erk is too. I don't remember if he was considered "Top" or "High", but hes up there. IIRC, a big reason why those two are so high is because they are your early healers, and therefore their utility is incredible. Combat wise, I don't know if they are that much better than Erk. Similar reason why Matthew is Top Tier as well.

The trade off between Ranger and Hero, is one gets a horse/bow, while the other gets Axes. Axes>>>>>Bows, but having a horsy is nice. It would be a clear decision if it was a FE4/9/10 horse, but thats not the case here. Gerik's combat power is certainly better by alot if you give him axes, but he gets alot more MOV if you make him a ranger. I don't think one is really that much better than the other.

Haha I almost always went Assassin. To be totally honest I thought all of the options were fairly balanced.
