Bottom 5 Favorite Characters of FE6.

[ShadowOfMe]

Feel free to reply. Simple comments like "(insert name here) SUCKS!!"
will not be tolerated. Try to resist the temptation to reply to a reply
i.e. "why would you thinik (insert name here) sucks?" as these are not
allowd either. Here are mine.

After playing many rounds of FE6, this is my opinion.


Many facepalms later...

5: Both Ward and Lot. Ward has NO balanced growths, and Lot has too MUCH of a balanced growth, which gets him into trouble on stats that axemen would NEED.
4: Both Marcus and Zealot. Bah, jeigans. Zealot is only useful for recruiting Yuno. Marcus, NO. just NO.
3: Garret. Kick-butt attitude, No skill or potential whatsoever.
2: Yuno. Are you friggin' kidding? I don't even WANT another Peg in my life. Why does it have to be a suckish one?
1: Cecillia. Meh. Clarine is so much better. The chapter she joins in renders her useless, too. INSTANT BENCH.

[Wander]

I think you need to reconsider some of your points. Marcus is a valuable asset for the first few chapters in Hard Mode, granted he uses his Iron Sword. Zealot is slightly better than Marcus in this case, and is a good unit to bring along if happen to have a spare space or need someone who can take a hit while being able to fight back. Recruiting him is a real pain though...
Cecilia has her uses (albeit not many). She can use Aircalibur from the start, and is slightly more durable than Clarine.

3: Garret. Kick-butt attitude, No skill or potential whatsoever.

Though he has a base 50 HP and 20 Strength, and is a viable Gonzales support?

[Brighton]

Marcus' suckiness is his best attribute.

Wade and Lott don't suck. Axes in this game suck. They support each other easily and their promotion items give solid gains. I've used them for all my playthroughs and they haven't let me down (unlike the pegasus knights). Long story short, they aren't bad. They just aren't Othin and Halvan.
The two of them would be perfectly useable in FE7, where axes get a 10 or 15 Hit boost.

Pegasus Knights in this game are trash. I had good RNG luck once with Thany's strength, and she still ended up being a sub-par unit. Tate is... sufficient.... and Yuuno is as Yuuno does. Even Triangle Attack can't justify me using three deployment slots on them.

Wendy is not a practical unit. Her bases are so low, it takes forever just to get her up to par. Sure, she'll rock at endgame with investment, but who won't at that stage?

Gonzales. Sorry, I know people love him, but I've never had luck with him in the past. Tried, and he failed me.

Echidna. It's not that she's awful. It's more like I wish she was better. Too bad she didn't join as a Mercenary. Female mercenary promotion gains   num-num-num :9

[Charliecane]

Wendy: Wendy is a novelty character, and that's about it. She doesn't do very well as a unit because of her initial weakness and her unusual growth. It doesn't help that her brother has similar stats and is easier to use.

Sophia: Sophia is in much the same predicament as Wendy. She starts out terribly weak and it takes a good while for her to catch up. Even then she isn't too impressive. At least she bags you a free guiding ring.

Cecilia: Being the mage general of Etruria, I would expect her to be a lot better. Horrid bases and horrid growth is not a good combination at all. Cecilia may be a little more durable than Clarine, but the latter still does a better job of surviving thanks to her insane avoid.

I'll share the other two when I get the time.

[Illyrias Acolyte]

Cecelia. Clarine outclasses her in every way, her stats are subpar to begin with, and the chapter she joins in renders her totally useless since she can barely move.

Zealot. 'Nuff said. While Marcus has his uses in Hard Mode, this guy is just a waste of oxygen.

Yodel. Trash. Can't even improve.

Douglas. Totally forgot about this idiot. Never was one for armors and the annoying process of acquiring this less than mediocre character only hurts him more.

Yuno. I miss the days of FE7 when Peg Knights reigned. These three aren't quite up to par. Thany always turns out good, and she has good supports. Tate/Thito is difficult to recruit, but still useful. Yuno is just... Zealot on a Pegasus.

[arashisama without the decorative symbols. RANDOM ENOUGH?!]

Zealot - As bad as Marcus statwise, he comes in later, so doesn't even have much use in hard mode. He recruits Juno, but then again, so do Thany and Thite.

Cecilia - Well, Libro is useful for the map she comes in... but her stats are so terrible! The only Etrurian General worth using in this game is Percival. With an abundance of magic users handy, why would you ever use her?

Juno - I am so glad I played FE6 before I played FE7. I cried tears of happiness when I saw the pegasi of FE7... Anyway. Low stats. Owned all around by her sisters. Owned all around by   ...

Wendy - I don't care about her 20/20 averages. She won't catch up without Boots. Though Lyrina comes in the same chapter at the same level, Anima magic is broken in this game. Lances are not. Anima magic hits 1-2 and attacks Magic Defense. Lances don't. Wendy is simply not worth it, I'd have to say, even moreso than Sofiya (who will also not DA for the most part, but deals whopping damage against Magic Defense and doesn't start off with lower movement...)

Yodel - Though Niime comes in at 25 hp around chapter 19, at least she has some usefulness... This guy is 20/20 with pretty bad stats. He gets points for bringing you a legendary weapon, but... Ugh, at least Renault and Niime have some room for improvement! And Athos, frailer than much of your FE7 army as he is, owns this guy.

[Mekkah]

Wendy, Sophia, Juno and Lilina would be the worst four in this game, I think, not sure who else qualifies. Both Niime and Yodel can spam staves, Cecilia is bad but not that bad, due to an amazing class...same for Garret. I guess Barth/Bors...

[Illyrias Acolyte]

Wendy somehow became one of my endgame unites my first time through, though I'm not sure how. And she was all kinds of invincible once promoted, plus I gave her a Boots at some point.

[hyde]

Well, most have been named already. I'd just like to say that I think it's a shame Echidna wasn't a bit better. As it is she's not terrible, but not good either. I like the way she looks in her art, portrait and sprite and I think she's awesome for being the only female hero in the game.

Wait, the only female hero in any Fire Emblem to date.

[ShadowOfMe]

Another reminder that this all goes to people who want to post opinions about characters,
not people and their taste in choosing characters. This goes to the first few people that have posted.

Echidna is pretty excellent. She's one of both Lalum's and Gonzales' best support options, and has nice enough bases.

Machuya is pretty much the first Fire Emblem Hero in everything but name. >__<

[Saaji]

Everyone has pretty much been right on...

Yodel only hope of being useful is if you managed to let all your other healers die[and not restart to keep 'em] for a last minute healer... but since anyone who can kinda play Fire Emblem wont let that happen.... he's worthless...

Zealot....Marcus version 1.1 ...I dont even use Marcus that much so why would I brother using him when my units start becoming kinda decent.

Yuno... well I think she's kinda cute but thats about it she's useless otherwise...

When I think about it I havent used alot of these characters so I cant really comment on them.... if you like a character you can make them usable there's usually enough stat boaster around that if you plan ahead you can probably even make Marcus and Zealot somewhat decent...

[hyde]

Machuya is pretty much the first Fire Emblem Hero in everything but name. >__<

Oh right, forgot about Machyua. Still, I normally don't count her D:

Echidna is pretty excellent. She's one of both Lalum's and Gonzales' best support options, and has nice enough bases.

Yes, only I hate using Lalum and don't like Gonzales all that much. D:

[ShadowOfMe]

Any opinions on the following characters?

Tate- she was quite a pain to train, and stil she's not that good.
Elphin or Lalum, give it a try!- i never liked bards of dancers.
Noah- he's got the most mediocre stats as a cavalier. I hate that.
Geese- I've trained him too. Gonzales is so much better in terms of everything but skill and resistance.
Niime- bah. She was only useful for a free Eclipse and Physic.
Dayan- doesn't look that old, nao, does he? yeah, he's probably older than Marcus.

I don't like any of them.

[Charliecane]

Dayan is younger than Marcus, actually. I don't think he's that bad, either. He can at least double and do some damage. Dayan can even double dragon knights in hard mode, if I'm not mistaken.

[hyde]

Still, I wouldn't mind for him to be a bit stronger. I'm a big fan of nomads and of Rath in general, so I don't like seeing his father like that D:

I seem to recall him being 46, but don't quote me on that.

EDIT: Serenes Forest says Dayan is in his fifties, whereas Marcus is in his sixties.

[UchihaHunter]

5. Ward - Boring character, subpar stats, and not so good move (I tend to use 8 move teams...)  Getting bows on promotion is good, but it'd be better if he just had better axes to use.

4. Lot - Not much better than Ward, same problems with class, let's not be redundant.

3. Dieck - For being so good to start out with, he's always bad for me.  I mean, he's just bad for me, lol.  I know his stats are good, he has good build, gets axes on promotion (which for someone with Skill like Dieck is a good thing (looks at Ward and Lot), and he's got good supports (Rutger and Clarine come to mind).  Still, he's always a disappointment for me, so I bench him for Echidna or Oujay if I feel like raising him.

2. Yuno - Just fail.  I dunno what everyone else is talking about (concering Thany and Tate), but Hard Mode considered, Tate is pretty damn good, and Thany is always going to be at least decent.  Yuno, on the other hand, just fails.  She doesn't even come with a decent sword level (which disappointed me)

1. Zealot - Every time I play HM, I want to take the easier Ilia route.  However, in all playthroughs bar 1, this idiot decides to die.  Yes, you can still get Yuno with the sisters.  However, I'm fairly certain (at least this has been true for both myself and my roommate), you cannot get the Gaiden chapter at the end of it unless Zealot lives.  So as soon as he dies in the chapter he arrives in, I have to resign myself to the Sacae route of torture, lol.  All of that, in addition to his lousy stats and joining time (in comparison to Marcus) makes him #1 in my least liked list.

Honorable Mention: Marcus.  Because he criticals soooooooooo much for me in the first chapter, when he's only got around 4 Crit.

[oracle_of_fire]

to me are these:

Niime: I only used her to get Eclipse
Dayan: He is very old and can't be at Sue/Shin Stadistics
Yuno: The same with Dayan, but she starts without weapons
Marcus: Just is usable as a Shield
Zealot: Like Marcus
Bartr: Another Fighter with Bows, he is not nesscesary
Gonzales: Low, very low Accuracy
Garret: Like Gonzales but promoted, but with a litle more of accuracy
Cecilia: Just is useful like a healer
Douglas: If you don't have to let him alive for the Gaiden Chapther you will kill him? I'll Do It
Yodel: Another Healer, the unic reason for use him is for he has The Legendary Weapon and the Holy Maiden

That is what I Think

my bottom 5

1. dorothy- she got killed by the first unit she attacked
2. gonzalez - he couldnt hit any of the swordsmen and got carved up like a big ugly side of beef 
3. douglas - he was gonna kill me so i had to kill him first
4. miredy & her brother- miredy died so i had to kill her brother to get to the secret shop
5. roy... but he made a good commander, sitting in the back telling everyone where to go
