Thats what I do...but his apparent late game potential... | ||

I mean, even if Berserker Arthur can kill anything on player phase, his "lategame potential" is still a 1-range footlock weaponlock. That's a pretty low ceiling with regard to how good he could possibly be lategame. If anything, his lategame potential comes from having a great class set (Fighter + Cavalier + 2 A+ options that give Outlaw) and using the other classes. Unfortunately, since he starts from Fighter and not from Cav, he won't have the Sword/Lance rank for that transition to ever be smooth. | ||

Unequip the Gamble skill, it will help with the hit rate considerably. Not really my type of unit, as you don't really need crits in this game to get through things. Berserker has nice pair up stats though. | ||

Well you can't unequip until you get 6 other skills, and I can never even get him to level enough to do that. | ||

I would rather it be a big risk with reliable return than a medium to large risk with returns 10 percent of the time conditional on not getting screwed over. | ||

The effect is also a bit too small, as you aren't reliably getting a crit if your gamble didn't screw you over. I would rather it be a big risk with reliable return than a medium to large risk with returns 10 percent of the time conditional on not getting screwed over. It would basically be like using Killer Weapons where you use them when the crit chance is relevant and unequip them when the the crit doesn't help you to avoid the -20 Avoid. Honestly, Fighter is totally fine even with Gamble being bad because HP+5 totally makes up for it. Most unpromoted classes don't have 2 good skills anyway and HP+5 is on par with a lot of the better ones. It's basically the reason why Fighter!Hero is better than Merc!Hero. | ||

Lasward and Serena can hold their own as well, while charlotte and arthur don't ever really feel like particularly good units in the early game. | ||

Of those four units, Selena's pretty clearly the most usable combat unit (and there's a strong argument for her not being in a Merc line class at all anyway). Regardless, Laslow/Selena's relative advantage to Charlotte and Arthur has more to do with their advantages as units themselves (e.g. Charlotte's usability is mostly sunk by her low base stats relative to her join time), not necessarily their starting class. Really the best use of Hero is still actually on Xander through marriage/A+ since having an unmounted sword class is actually useful for 26 (and Sol with high Mt unpenalized 1-2 range is actually really good). Also, unlike the default Mercs, he actually *does* do enough enemy phase combat for +3 damage on EP to be useful. | ||
