FE 10 to FE9

[Black Knight]

Mist's magic cap in FE9 is 26 with an average of 25 (which means it's not too unlikely that she'll hit it). You're probably thinking of Rhys's magic cap with that 29.

Ah yes, so it is. Her resistance cap is 29, that's what I was thinking.

But even with her decent strength growth, she still starts with a horrific base of 1, which means that fighting isn't exactly going to be one of her strong points until near the end of the game

Hence Sonic Sword in chapter 18  . I guess its just my playing style, but I always go out to train Mist, and she always freaking owns for me (maybe I'm just lucky). The only time I ever use the Hamerne is on the sonic sword. Usually I can have her take out the entire right flank of the last level without much problem. I do play favorites though, since I don't really ever need bonus experience I usually promote her to a Valkarie as soon as possible so that I can get her sword level up. Plus I do usually use the Arms Scrolls on her. Its not like Nephenee or Rolf really need them, since they have two class changes to get up to S in their ONE weapon type, and Nephenee doesn't even need to since you never get the Wishblade.

I doubt the OP will ever play it since its so old, but I'd like to point out that the second FE game, Fire Emblem Gaiden, also had units able to promote twice.

It is funny you mentioned this.  I was digging through some old roms I have on the comp and I found one for this game.  I played it for a half hour or so.  Definately has the fire emblem feel.

P.S.  I really hate not having battle saves.  Redoing a whole chapter because I can't stand to have anyone die is very time consuming : P

If you're using an emulator, you can just use savestates for the same general effect as battle saves.

It makes games like FE2 and FE5 much more bearable...

Around 3,000-4,000 for the first one 5-6 in the second and 9-10 for the third, when you get Tormod.
