@mortonandroy: I understand that Micaiah is branded, but so is Soren. Who rules Daein. Micaiah was crowned 14th queen, but Soren is the child of Ashnard, with the brand mark?
I have trained up Sanaki, MIcaiah, Illyana, and Soren which handles most of the magic circle. I wanted to train up Pelleas too (I even got him to an Archsage)--just didn't need that many mages in the tower. lol.
@CMBeast09 I did a trial with nothing but magic users excluding Elincia and Mist. Used Soren, Ilyana, Rhys, Tormod, Bastian, Callil, Pelleas, Laura, & Sanaki, & Micaiah, Sothe, Ike, Ena, & Kurthnaga. Normal Mode. Between giving units levels by themselves to do (ie, Callil part 3 epilogue, or Tormod, part 1 epilogue), BEXP, discipline and paragon, & the Part 4 epilogue with all the Laguz summons, I had everyone maxed at level 20 of the third tier, and all of their weapons ranks maxed. It was fun!
Leo's a good unit by default, because Marksman is the second best Beorc class in the game behind Dragon Lord. However both Rolf and Shinon are BETTER than him, so he gets overshadowed.
Leonardo's reason why he is not mentioned is because...well, he IS a good archer except for his HP issues, when he makes marksman, he only has around the high 30's in hp, which is downright low for the marksman class...
but yeah, he IS useful, but for endgame, not so much
him and Rolf are virtually the same, comparing them is sort of hard being the largest factor in doing so is luck, and you can't predict if the RNG will screw their stats or what....
let me just put down what their differences are
Rolf:lesser base stats, better growths(more room to grow/mess up, a LOT of bonds with units)
Shinon: starts off as a very durable archer, seems to remain that way throughout the game, even with a lesser growth rate to Rolf
@101Metaknight: Well, they do. They seriously got shafted in this game. Anything that a mage can do, sadly, a Sniper can do better. And Shinon is without a doubt, one of the best characters in the game. Sorry man but if you can prove me wrong, then I stand correct.
@youtuguru I know that they're not the best characters, but you've got to admit that they're kinda good specially for low resistance characters (duh) that have high defense (duh again)
@101Metaknight: Except that IS their only strength. They have nothing else going for them, and after that, the negatives outweigh the positives. I'll go out on a limb and claim Micaiah to be the best magic user in the game since everyone else either has availability issues (Tormod and Calill), earlygame speed issues (Soren and Illyana) or just plain suck issues (Pelleas and Sanaki). Shit even the ones I didn't mention aren't very good. And even Micaiah has problems. Shinon > any mage here.
@youtuguru Hehe. I think this one is the best 'cause it's one of the few I have played. Sacred Stones was good but JUST in it's story(didn't like the characters stats and how to promote them)
In all honesty, Soren and Pelleas are only good when they get flare, they gain their best survival skill, flare, and Soren has a high dodge rate with Ike's support bond...Pelleas is pretty good, too.
However, any of those Archers, even if they cannot counterattack, are less flimsy, they have more credibility in defense than offense...
It is a preference though, both are great classes, it's just dependent on your playing style
I actually like the Mages in FE10. Soren has Adept...and that's pretty much it, I guess. Maybe I should try to promote him at level 20 and not 11... Pelleas is the only Dark magic user, with fair strength and little problems against normal sages and tomeless bishops. Tormod and Calill, destroyed by unavailability. Sanaki, AWESOME. Micky Sue, GO TO HELL NOOB. Ilyana, never trained because she's a Part I character. Laura, same. Rhys, somewhat. Oliver, NO. And Lehran...is Lehran. That's all.
the only thing difference in what I do is that I do train soren normally (that is to say, 20/20, he usually gets capped stats) and as for "micky sue", she's required, and she has better stats than the other light magic users, laura would probably be second because of her stats not sucking, but she's cut short due to trainability, rhys is slower than a F-ing general for me, and as for oliver, sexy sexy man, but not much use...
oh, and lehran is decent if you trade tomes around chars.
@marthedge I know that Micaiah is better than the Saints, that's why I never bring one to the Finale, instead I bring another Trueblade so as to use Alondite. Also, the Gheb jokes are stupid.
And I know about Lehran and trading, I was saying Lehran was Lehran because it's obvious he's awesome, with the ability to use SS in Dark Magic, so I give him Balberith while Pelleas smashes spirits with Carreau and Thoron.
well, usually I just use them for taking down the walls, and in that case it's easy for me to arrange places where they can do so, spirits usually get themselves killed, now that I think about it.
@marthedge LOL yeah the spirits are too sucky to live.
And remember, you can't use non-blessed weapons on Ashera or her auras, so whoever trades to Lehran should become a healer along with a spirit killer, maybe have Micaiah trade him the Rexaura tome, he'd do better with it, since he can double while Micaiah can't.
Bah, I think she's a great unit due to her extremely high magic skill, decent everything else (cept hp and def), and her special fire tome. True you can't let anyone hit her, but then she's a mage. In this game, you can really only let a mage get attacked once else they're screwed. (or maybe that's just because I play at difficult setting...)
That's not exactly true for every 2-range unit. Shinon has a godly base DEF and combined with his base SPD, he pretty much tanks better than the PALADINS. But I digress; the problem with Sanaki is that she cannot double since her STR and CON are so bad, she can't even double with Cymbeline. And, like you said, her poor defensive stats means she can't go ANYWHERE near the front lines. She'd be 100x more useful if she could play healbot, but she doesn't. Lower base SKL than Nailah untrans'd.
The fact remains that it STILL weighs her down, which is just lol. But if you want to nitpick here:
1. She has lower base HP than base level Nolan from Part 1, same base STR as Micaiah, same base DEF as Meg, etc: basically, she is statistically paper frail.
I don't think Sanaki is usable at all in Hard Mode. Base 10 DEF, 2 STR, and 28 HP is not a unit you want to field ANYWHERE near an enemy. Top that off with 30% DEF, 40% STR, and 35% SPD growths, you're screwed. Sure, STR isn't very important for a magic user, but she's then weighed down by nearly everything except Wind. WIND. So she can't even double with her own tome. All she can do is make potshots so you can get a unit with STILL terrible defense.
Have you seen Sanaki's level ups? Half the time she gets 7 stats. Admittedly, she does suck at first, but I could really see her becoming a good unit. And if that were the case, the Rudol Gem (I believe 10 Defence) would boost her so that she won't take much damage from Ashera at all.
For a forced unit like Sanaki, I can see three choices
1. not use her, but this is defeatist and pointless
2. level her up to decent (easier then you'd think)
3. give her meteor or the like, stick her in the corner and have Haar or Tanith prowl the skies around her lest anything even think about attacking her (my personal favourite)
you say Micaiah is bad by comparing her to herself? if you meant Sanaki is bad then OF COURSE! She's just a 13 years old child, what did you expect???
I meant SANAKI was so bad. She has the same base STR as Micaiah. Granted, it's not too important of a stat for magic users, she also gets 28 HP and 10 DEF base level. wtf. Can't double, gets 1HKO'd by everything, and it doesn't get much better. HERONS have better defense than her.
Meh, she's really below average; you can't really salvage her defensive game without using a Speedwing/Dracoshield. But then again, you lose using those items on somebody more valuable.
His SPD is lollable; he gets doubled forever and he doesn't hit very hard for a DRAGON. Using him as a fighter is like using Sothe as a fighter in Part 4; why bother? Night Tide isn't even that useful anyway either. He's sort of like Danved/Mak in CRK chapters or Edward/Leo in DB chapters. They're forced, so there are SOME things you can use them for to make them slightly useful, but it doesn't amount to much because of how bad they are.
I've had enough of your complaining about characters
If you don't like a character, fine, don't use them, but please don't try and make me think that as well
I can have my own opinions, and frankly, people like you who take umbrage at everything is the reason that countries ore always warring with each other
I like using Kurthnaga, and Nephenee, and Sanaki, and you don't, fine, excellent, goodbye
I don't get why Sanaki didn't get the brand. You are branded if you have any laguz blood in your bloodline. If she is descendent of Altina and Leharn and the younger sister of Micaiah, won't that make her branded also or does it matter how far back the laguz parent is, whats your place in the sibling lineup or she isn't reallly related to Altina and Leharn which means she isn't Micaiah's sister and therefore not the Empress of Beginion or did I just misunderstood what a Branded is.
Isn't she technically Branded? 0_o I thought during one of the flashbacks in the Tower of Guidance, one of the previous Apostles mentioned that all members of her bloodline are Branded.
@mortonandroy No she isn't. Every first born girl should become empress and is a branded. Sanaki however got an older sister. That means her sister should be empress. And all of us know that Micaiah is a branded. That means Sanaki has laguz blood within her veins but she doesn't bear a mark.
She kind of reminds me of my little brother in terms of personality.... they just think that the world revolves around them and that they're the cat's meow....... she's still awesome beyond words though.
Sanaki's growth are insane.. all you really need to help her a bit is give her an Angelic robe and a speed ring. Her growth would max out most stats even defense.
The laguz blood just sort of hides itself through the generations, eventually branding some poor, random person unfortunate enough to be the great-offspring of a laguz and a beorc. Micaiah was on of those unlucky folk, while Sanaki just lived on to fulfill her loli goodness role.
Yes, but a little, most people have Hector from FE7 as there favorite lord, he has the same growth rate of speed as Micaiah and no one has ever called him slow, in fact, Micaiah's base speed is higher making her faster than him.
The difference between Hector and Micaiah is that while they may both have horrible speed, Hector has health and defence to back it up so he doesn't run into the situation of being nearly killed by just about everything.
Yeah, but put into a relative comparison, she is way slower.
You have enemies in Part 1 that have 14 speed in RD. Most enemies in FE7 have close to that in the final chapter. Hector averages high enough speed to DOUBLE most units, while Micaiah is so slow she gets doubled.
When saying a unit is slow, it's always relative to the own game's enemies.
Not to mention how Hector has better durability by far and does more damage, relatively speaking.
Yeah, sword masters, heroes & paladin barly reach that speed by end-game so Micaiah is slow for RD, now, just a conclusion:
If you put a character that has the same growths and bases as Micaiah in FE7 or any GBA game, that character would be pure win and upon promotion you would solo the whole game.
You're wrong. In FE7, she would suck hardcore. She has 5 con, meaning the only thing she could wield without being slowed down is Thani- and that is if we even allow it in.
Otherwise the best weapon she can use is shine, otherwise she won't double.
Shine has 6 mt, making her have 36 might at max magic. Pent matches both her speed and magic easily with the Excalibur, and he wins durability.
Micaiah, in FE7, would be good, but far from awesome.
Right, I was totally forgetting that in FE7 & 8 the tomes really put on weight, meaning a Shine and/or a Divine might really slow her down, but if you used some of the clerics fom the GBA series like Serra or Natasha do to there high luck they would have really good avoidance, of course, they start out faster, but she(Micaiah) would be god in end-game do to the fact there are alot of magic users.
Sanaki is still young, it can take years for such a mark to show up. Some Branded get it at birth, others later in their lives and some others... just don't get a mark at all as Kelbo1rox2your2sox stated in another comment :)
Stunningly beautiful...this and Ike's theme are my favorites. I like the original a bit better, though. This version puts a little more emphasis on the instruments over the vocals.

In one of the Lehran's Memories cutscenes, her mother or grandmother, a descendant of Altina, was a branded, which means that she, too, was.

@mortonandroy No she isn't. Every first born girl should become empress and is a branded. Sanaki however got an older sister. That means her sister should be empress. And all of us know that Micaiah is a branded. That means Sanaki has laguz blood within her veins but she doesn't bear a mark.

She kind of reminds me of my little brother in terms of personality.... they just think that the world revolves around them and that they're the cat's meow....... she's still awesome beyond words though.

Sanaki's growth are insane.. all you really need to help her a bit is give her an Angelic robe and a speed ring. Her growth would max out most stats even defense.

Man, I adore Sanaki... She's so pretty and the world's best Empress, plus a very snazzy killer. Wicked theme too. Gotta love her.

Yeah, she is.How come Micaiah is Branded and shes not?
soul1112 3 years ago
The laguz blood just sort of hides itself through the generations, eventually branding some poor, random person unfortunate enough to be the great-offspring of a laguz and a beorc. Micaiah was on of those unlucky folk, while Sanaki just lived on to fulfill her loli goodness role.

Thanks, and by the way she rocks.
An I feel uncomfterble saying this but...
She is so beautiful, yes I said it.
And then again she is a snazzy killer.

Well, the person who can hear the goddess is branded, at least I think that is how the game explains it.
Clempath 3 years ago
Because the Branded symbol only goes to the first born child,and Micaiah is the first born and Sanaki was the second.

Yeah, I hate when people speak ill of her, she is NOT bad in any way.
soul1112 2 years ago 2
none at all. speed could use just a little work though.
dialvile0001 2 years ago
Yes, but a little, most people have Hector from FE7 as there favorite lord, he has the same growth rate of speed as Micaiah and no one has ever called him slow, in fact, Micaiah's base speed is higher making her faster than him.
soul1112 2 years ago
The difference between Hector and Micaiah is that while they may both have horrible speed, Hector has health and defence to back it up so he doesn't run into the situation of being nearly killed by just about everything.

Yeah, but put into a relative comparison, she is way slower.
You have enemies in Part 1 that have 14 speed in RD. Most enemies in FE7 have close to that in the final chapter. Hector averages high enough speed to DOUBLE most units, while Micaiah is so slow she gets doubled.
When saying a unit is slow, it's always relative to the own game's enemies.
Not to mention how Hector has better durability by far and does more damage, relatively speaking.
RWBn00b 2 years ago
Yeah, sword masters, heroes & paladin barly reach that speed by end-game so Micaiah is slow for RD, now, just a conclusion:
If you put a character that has the same growths and bases as Micaiah in FE7 or any GBA game, that character would be pure win and upon promotion you would solo the whole game.
soul1112 2 years ago
You're wrong. In FE7, she would suck hardcore. She has 5 con, meaning the only thing she could wield without being slowed down is Thani- and that is if we even allow it in.
Otherwise the best weapon she can use is shine, otherwise she won't double.
Shine has 6 mt, making her have 36 might at max magic. Pent matches both her speed and magic easily with the Excalibur, and he wins durability.
Micaiah, in FE7, would be good, but far from awesome.
RWBn00b 2 years ago
Right, I was totally forgetting that in FE7 & 8 the tomes really put on weight, meaning a Shine and/or a Divine might really slow her down, but if you used some of the clerics fom the GBA series like Serra or Natasha do to there high luck they would have really good avoidance, of course, they start out faster, but she(Micaiah) would be god in end-game do to the fact there are alot of magic users.
soul1112 2 years ago
Except there are a lot more physical fighters, and those guys can actually hit.
There's no way Micaiah could be godlike. Erk isn't and he's the best mage in the game(although Athos is better on his one stage :P)
RWBn00b 2 years ago
Sanaki is still young, it can take years for such a mark to show up. Some Branded get it at birth, others later in their lives and some others... just don't get a mark at all as Kelbo1rox2your2sox stated in another comment :)

Stunningly beautiful...this and Ike's theme are my favorites. I like the original a bit better, though. This version puts a little more emphasis on the instruments over the vocals.
qwertyuiop2000 3 years ago
Sanaki has horrible speed though..although she can hit pretty dang hard with cymbeline and rexflame. Still, her theme is nice.

Is there any way in which Sanaki does not rock? Awesome theme, broken damage, absolute power, loli goodness. Best Fire Emblem Character to date.
