A tip for the Arena is to reset when you see your character going up against an unfavorable opponent like a lance user vs an axe user as they will preview it with "level 14 pirate" or something before the battle actually starts. This saves money and prevents you from losing your character in unlucky 1 turn deaths vs characters that have crits. However it saves the order of fighters for ex:

Peg Knight Hero vs lvl 14 pirate, reset the game since it's a bad matchup
Re enter the arena and say no to the first fight since it will be the same lvl 14 pirate
Enter the arena again and it will be another character
If it's another unfavorable matchup say no twice for a new enemy

Helpful vs Swordmasters and especially Berserkers who can hit although rarely with a crit.

For the FE 4 players...who thinks that Leaf was 100 percent broken when promoted? In Thracia, he was able to hold off 20-30 wyverns, plus the bosses and still had plenty of HP left.

Got me into the series and I couldn't be happier about it.


The green haired swordmaster you're thinking of is Stefan

You sure you're playing the same Thracia/FE5? Cause 20-30 wyverns gives me shivers even for a whole party.
Leaf in FE4 is insane, due to Master Knight class and lol I can use almost every single weapon, barring Holy ones.
Though to be fair, many characters can be absolutely broken if you do it right the in the 1st Gen.

For example, 70++ HP Faval with the Ichieval, Mounted Holsety user, Sety with Holsety[Just add speed ring and enemies hit percentage can fall to 0, lol] amongst others.

Any character in FE4 with a legendary weapon is broken in my eyes. I thought +5 stat bonuses were pretty nice in FE7, then I tried FE4, lol'd at the +20 +10 stat bonuses on the legendaries there, threw Holsety on Levin and watched him never, ever get hit.

Tips for Moochlol: Marcus sucks. But I'm sure you know that now Zealot is even worse. Don't use him. In fact, most of the prepromoted characters suck. Don't bother with them. Chad maxes out at 20 having no promotion, but his growths are quite good and he's the best thief, so you might as well max him.

Notably good characters (they objectively have pretty good/great growths and I've also been able to consistently do well in the game with them):
Allen and Lance (neither were particularly amazing for me, but both were very solid)
Lugh
Clarine
Rutger
Thany (if you notice you're started to get Str screwed - if she starts doing no damage to anyone, I advise you to drop her)
Wendy
Oujay
Fir (also if you don't get Str screwed - same note as Thany - they're both awesome if they don't get Str screwed)
Geese
Gonzales (he's really good in 10A, sucks in 10B - google how to get either)
Tate
Ray
Sophia (really hard to train, but good if you're patient)
Miredy
Zeiss
Fa
Karel

Enjoy!

My last play through of FE6, i made sure to good good Gonzales, and truthfully i recommend leveling both him + Geese. In one of the later chapters, i think took place at night(i think?) i used those 2 + another and they can hold off endless Wyvern etc, reinforcements. its quite ridiculous.

Not to mention they'll sit on 60 health most of the time, and kill nearly everything in one hit.
+! I think Berserkers get 30% extra crit or something when they get promoted. If you decide to get the good Gonzales, make sure to bring an axe for him since he starts out equipped with the Devil axe iirc(its bad)

Also, like HolyArrow said make sure you max out one of the Thieves you get(i think its 6 atleast..) that its required to have 1 Thief later in the game for some purpose(high dodge+ decent damage) to get chests and good weapons and the like.

UGHH This thread popping up like made it my goal to replay FE6+7.

Goodbye next week.

Anyone got a working English patched FE6? Got it.

I love Fire Emblem so much! I can still remember the first time I played FE7 as my first FE game ever. So epic! Then I lost the cartridge and only recently I replayed it on an emulator. Still as good as it was in my memories :p

Bors is totally Chintastic.

How did i miss him my first play through

Also, whatever healer you decide to use doesnt really matter in the end does it?

I think they promote to priests or slayers @ 20 iirc, just your standard mage type character

Had to restart a couple chapters like 3 times, enemy units wont move to attack units at full health (even when in range) but will always move in for the kill when they're low health.

Quite dumb indeed

started with the first gba game (japanese one. sealed sword not blazing sword)

the ds remakes were great as well. too bad the second ds one is not localized

FE6 never gets enough credit. It's the game that introduced a lot of the things that made 7 good.

I really want them to localize that new Fire Emblem for DS.

Most of the time, when I get a game of any appreciable length, I lose interest before I end up beating it (FFs are classic examples, where I get like 25hrs in then beat it a year later cause I got bored). That never happened with FE9 and 10. They are easily some of my favorite games of all time, and also some of the most underrated IMO. I tried playing the GBA ones, but I never really got into them the same way I did for 9 and 10 for some reason.

I thought the general understanding was Hector was the best FE Character?

Or was that mostly just the GBA comparisons?

So here's the real question folks, who's the best of the main characters from all the games?

I'm tempted to go with Ike off the top of my head, but I know there was at least one other who could give him a run for his money that I just can't remember right now.

Stat and class wise, hes probably one of the most "broken" in any FE game, other than I guess tier 3s in FE10. But, this is FE4 we are talking about. "Broken" comes from Legendary Weapons. Leaf's stats might be crazy, but he just doesn't have a Legendary Weapon to compete with the other crazy people.


Fire Emblem brings back memories. Years ago, Harem (the banling here) and myself used to run a relatively large FE Forum, which has since died. The more you talk about FE, the more you start it dislike it. FE debates were the bane of the fandom. Because of them, I've been condititioned to look at some of the advise given in this thread, and think "Are you serious? Wendy a good character? Where is Dieck? GL on Hard Mode without your Jeigans LOL" etc etc, rather than just enjoy a good FE talk

I've completed FE4/6/7/8/9/10. All the ones translated into english, other than the DS one (don't care), and FE5 (never cared to mess with the translation, since iirc it was incomplete at the time when I cared). Overall, I think FE4 had the best story, FE6 I played the most, and FE9 was my favorite overall. Also FE8 is bad and too easy.

Its impossible to say a character from one game is better than a character in another game. They are completely independent from each other. Its only possible to compare characters within the same game. If you are looking at stats though, it would have to be someone from FE4 or FE10.
