(Sorry about my (possibly) wrong spelling of the word Pegasus) In mainly FE7-9, are the Pegasus Knights worth training up? I played all three, and never bothered training any of them up. I used Tanith in PoR, and that was because of Reinforce, not of her attacking strength.  But are they worth training up, though? |

I'm not a huge fan of Pegasus Knights, but they're pretty good units in their own right.
In FE7, Florina and Fiora are pretty good characters. They both have good stats and good support options. Farina is pretty good as well, but she joins a little late for my liking, and she also costs quite a bit of money. Her supports are slow to build up as well if I'm not mistaken.
In FE8, Vanessa is a pretty good character. She has a good support affinity and some pretty good supporting characters to boot. Tana isn't bad either, if you're willing to build her up.
I've never put too much effort into Marcia in FE9, but by all accounts she's a great character.

In FE7, Florina is pretty good, Fiora is decent. I agree with Musashi about Farina.
Vanessa, Tana, Marcia and Tanith are some of the best units in their respective games

I've found Farina to be far better than the other two consistently, and the other two are pretty good units themselves. Not advised if you're doing a ranked run, but otherwise, I would highly advise using her.
Tana and Vanessa are pretty great; Syrene, not so much.
Marcia is pretty darn good too.

Really, all of the Falcon Knights in the internationally-released games are decent at the very least. All of FE7's Falcon Knights, Vanessa, Tana, and Marcia kick ass, while Syrene and FE9 Tanith are decent at worst. In fact, the only Falcon Knight I can think of that just plain sucks is Yuno from FE6.

Well, Thany and Tate (or however they are spelled) weren't shining examples of Pegasus Knights either. But they were OK, at least. Yuno though......wow. It's like Marcus's horse has grown wings!  |

Marcia shines in FE9 due to the Strength acting as the Weight reducer. Same with the Swordmasters. They pretty much lose one of their two weaknesses that way.

Though they gain another one, Wind Magic, but that's only important in a few rare situations. More heavier weapons in the GBA games than enemy mages with wind magic in PoR. |

If you can cope with their horrible CON (in the handheld games at least), they make pretty good units. The Pegasus Knights in FE9 lacked the CON thing, so they were great. Be glad you haven't played FE10, since the class itself sucks, and Marcia is like 10 times worse. D:

Not to mention that much like how dragon riders have high defense to somewhat deal with their bow weakness, pegasus units have high resistance to somewhat deal with their wind magic weakness. and Marcia is like 10 times worse. D:
IIRC, her only really bad stat is strength... Plus she can help that a bit due to the fact she can have Data Transfer bonuses (which isn't such a bad idea since it makes use of her 40% growth in PoR...). |

Well pegasus knights are not what they what they were in FE1/2/3, but on the newer games.
FE6
Thany- Alright, but nothing special, she is weighed down by most of the weapons she uses and is very frail and weak. She does dodge a lot once trained though.
Tate- Better then Thany in my opinion. She is stronger and more durable then Thany, but she does suffer in luck a bit, so her evasion is a little less and she may even take a critical now and then from high skill classes like heros.
Junno- Don't even bother, unless you REALLY want the triangle attack or a challenge.
FE7
All are great here. Fiora is magic tank, Farina is awesome everything, but costs a ton of gold, and Florina is stronger then Fiora, but frailer in both defense and magic defense.
FE8
Not too sure here since I don't play 8 often, but Tana and Vanessa seemed good, and Syrene seemed OK, but not as great as the other 2.
FE9
Macia is good. She is a great mage killer and is awesome on maniac mode due to the long range sages. Tanith is OK, but not as good as Marcia, but the reinforcement skill is pretty fun and useful. Elincia comes too late to be much use, unless you need another healer.
FE10
Marcia is like before accept better (or seemed that way every time I used her). Elincia doesn't have much play time, but is actually good during it. Sigrun is sucky, Tanith is a bit better, but is still "meh".

Her growths are actually pretty unspectacular. Not to mention, she gets little playtime (like most Part 2 characters), plus the problems the class has. |

Meh, her str isn't really bad...maybe bad compared to most physical attackers in POR (it feels like many tend to cap or nearly cap str most of the time) but it's still enough that she'll be able to use steel lances and such without losing her awesome spd stat which lets her double a lot (the problem many pegasus units seem to have for me). And if you're going for transfer bonuses her 20/20 str is only 1 under the cap, so if you stick a ring w/ a str bonus growth she'll typically cap it to give her the bonus in POR. |

Marcia is said to be a pretty good unit by a lot of players I've talked to. Her growths aren't spectacular, but her bases are good and she's a nice unit, being a flyer and all. Yes, Jill and Haar are much better, but she's not bad. Sigrun and Tanith are both simply mediocre, if not bad, but Marcia is pretty good.

How is Tanith mediocre? She has the most potential out of all three PK's, and she comes in easier to train. |
