Rondo of Blood tiers:
SSS+ : Maria
Why am I in this game again? tier: Richter.
Top tier: Fried chicken, cheese burgers, fremch fries, pizza, calzone cupcakes, cookies, steak,
mid tier: 50 dollar steak, salads (any kind from chopped salad to greek)
bottom tier: I donāt know about you but fish unless its sushi than thats a mid tier
If there is no god-tier, then why even put a god-tier on your list? lol
Question 1: What?
Question 2: Why the Japanese names?
EDIT:
I just noticed you pointed out Julian as High tier too, WTF. Especially above Caeda and Lena, double WTF.
As soon as you can buy keys (which is pretty early) and Marth gets the Fire Emblem, thieves are effectively obsolete. Canāt change class, canāt promote, canāt steal. Unlocking doors and chests is merely a time-taking inconvenience (especially since there are no turn limits in any battle) and the convoy is always with you in battle so there is zero reason to waste a slot in the party on a thief.
Also, why do they have Draug so low? For me, his speed is INSANE for a General. Iām looking at him right now from one of my last saves, and heās 20/7 with an 18 in speed and I donāt think I used more than 1 speed boosting item on him.
Linde near bottom?!! The fact that sheās the only one who can use Aura without being at Level B should be one counter-point. The much more important one is that her growths are AWESOME.
My Linde ended up almost eclipsing my Merric in everything but defense and HP. Her speed and luck more than make up for that.
Whatās the point of Snipers when you have Ballisticians, and plenty of ranged attackers given to you like a ton of great mages and Javelin users?
You donāt encounter flying enemies in any significant quantity until near the end of the game, and by then I would hope you would have better people to pick off Pegasus Knights than freakinā Gordin.
I changed Cord into a Hunter then promoted into Warrior, and he eclipsed Gordin so badly it was comical. And the more time I sank into Gordin trying to keep him up, the more he fell behind. And for what? To use weak-ass Longbows?
Beck is definitely better than Jake.
I would put rogue in upper-mid, below sorcerers. They are the only non magic, non charge oriented builds that can do level appropriate damage though out their entire careers. That and with UMD on their skill list they can eventually get all kinds of wands and stuff for utility purposes.
Also, Paladins are definitely above Barbarians, they have better saves and they automatically get a mount which means they can go into mounted combat without much hassle and then start lancing people for x3 damage.
because i can lol? and it wasnt my list.
Good Arguments. Actually like I said I copied and pasted that of SerF - I donāt know why they use jap names shrug
1: But I wanted to nerf Julian, read over my post. The Fire Emblem can open any chest, and you can purchase master keys from the online shop like you said :looney:
2: Yes Draug has pretty good speed and skill for a general. But I guess they did that because of his unusual low strength cap growth. Iāve been hearing that many people donāt like the generals in this game, for arrows as a second weapon slot fails over something like say axes. Iām not a fan of generals myself in this game, unless itās something like class swapped Sedgar (but I donāt think this list is based off class swapping)
3: Most people just think Merric is all you need (for normal play anyway). If Merric died then Iāll agree that Linde could fill in, it probably would be a good idea to use both since most enemies have low resistance. I was able to beat the game with just Merric though, so I guess it depends on personal experience maybe.
4: Snipers get a ACC and Critical boost. I class swapped Est (or was it Catria? eh one of them) into one and she was basically Rebecca off FE7. Couldnāt be touched, destroying everything. Ballisticians are good but most of their weapons need forging, youāll spend wads of G if you want their maximum potential. Most Gordinās I know are either crappy or solid - MY Gordin was solid at the end of the game. Most of his stats minus reistiance was around or above the 20s.
5: Agreed. Beck is waaay better, I was going to edit a few more things on that Tier List but I was just too sleepy. If you can tier list this game, Iād be more than happy to see it 
Yeah, I noticed you said it wasnāt your list.
I rarely understand most FE tiers anyway, and tiers are basically moot here since on normal mode the game is so easy and mindless that it doesnāt even matter, and weapon forging, arena abuse, and class change only make it even more futile.
Someone not dealing enough damage? Customize their weapon.
Need levels for a level one unpromoted? Change them into a healer. Seriously, I gained like 10 levels in one battle for Linde and it wasnāt even a map with an arena.
Archersā growths are sucking? Make one of your better characters into one.
I will concede that Draug is not as strong as he could be, but it really doesnāt matter. Like I said, you can customize a weapon. Tanks donāt need to be that strong anyways, you already have plenty of killers on your team. And his speed makes up for itāmy Draug doesnāt get doubled by Pegasus Knights (not that they do any damage in the first place).
The enemy armies have absolutely no answer to the mages in this game. As you said, enemy resistance for 99% of the units in the game is ridiculously low and enemy magesā speed, skill, and magic stats are so terrible it borders on parody as Merric, Linde, and Lena outclass all enemy spell slingers by a country mile.
The Sniper boost is a 5% in Accuracy and Crit. Yes, a whole whopping 5%ānot even the 15% theyāve traditionally gotten. Iād rather just pay an extra 1000G to add +5% to my Hunterās customized bow.
The only other exclusive benefit, as I said, is access to the weak Longbows made utterly obsolete by Ballisticians.
You are correct in that you have to spend some G to make good Ballistician ammo, but doesnāt the game throw enough money at you to begin with? Gotta use it on something, right? I customized a weapon before EVERY SINGLE battle and still ended up with like 80,000G at the end of the game even with liberal spending on a cache of Iron weapons and Vulneraries that I never used.
EVEN WITHOUT arena abuse, you get more money that you would ever need, seeing as Iron and Steel weapons work just fine for the first 95% of the game.
well doesnāt look like I can argue back because I agree with everything you said lol.
think Iām going to change up my playing style, I used to keep julian alive ie for the hell of it, but not anymore 
Iām going to give linde a shot also
Maybe Iāll try the Hard Modes.
Word of advice, change Linde from Sage to Cleric first. Her MGC stat is horrible initially but it will grow. Later you can change her back, but I just kept her as a Cleric until promotion and then kept her as a Bishop.
So true, so true. I need to play the Saturn Version of SOTN. Cause I gotta know is Maria brokeshit in that too?
I heard good things about the series, but never got in to it.
Is it really that good?
Not compared to Alucard. Poor damage output against lategame boss HP and fewer options/abilities.
So tiers would be something like this.
God
Richter w/Holy Water or Daggers
High
Alucard
Richter
How the Brokeshit have fallen
Maria
I wasnāt aware that Richter could be so broke, so maybe I am wrong about Maria. But when I played as her, she could rip through a lot of the early bosses, but some of the last few it seemed to take forever, and against Galamoth every single attack she has only does 1 damage so good luck killing him as Maria.
Richter with those 2 weapons gives him a CURLEH MUSTACHE like no other. Hydro Storm is just fucked up anyway. And he can do 4 of those if heās maxed on hearts. Problem is that nothing in Richterās game can stand more than 2 before DA RAPE comes. And the daggers are just as insane and they only cost 10 per Item Crash. So yes, Richer in SOTN is broke as fuck with those 2 sub-weapons. Any thing else heās just a mid tier character with Alucard edging him out. Sometime this week Iāll have to cop the Saturn Version and play as Maria and Iāll give my thoughts then.
The Fire Emblems are mostly pretty good SRPG games, but they are notorious for being far more frustrating and unforgiving than other SRPGs because of permadeath, weapons that wear out with usage, maps which surprise your party with hidden enemies, and worst of all characters getting screwed over by the fickle Random Number Generator of Doom.
The new DS version (which is really a remake of the 1st FE which had already been remade on the Super Famicomā¦) is probably the best one to start with to ease you into the series even though it lacks a few of the conventions that appear later in the series.
Is Richter even more broken than decked out Alucard with Crissaegrim (or Alucard Shield/Shield Rod combo)? Or is the point that Richter doesnāt have to grind to become broken?
Yeah, pretty much. Alucard steps on some other shit when he gets some of that wild shit like the Criss and Duplicator. But Richter doesnāt have to do shit but have 40 Hearts to fuck up anything moving. So if you bring all of those things into the mix Richter still edges out Alucard in whoās more broken because it only takes 1 hit candle to pretty much have a Win Button playing as Richter.
Better saves at the cost of offense. They needed to get their charisma score sky-high to have good saves, but that meant sacrificing strength, which is bad because it means they canāt hit as easily or do as much damage. 3.5 Paladinsā MAD (multi-attribute dependency) killed them.
As for the mount, that was only useful in wide-open areas. In dungeons that thing was useless.
They donāt have to dump everything in charisma, just put your highest into Str and Con then whatever you have left in Cha. They are only really MAD if you try and keep your Wis up which is pointless because at no point are they going to cast a spell that anyone gives a shit about.
Also, any good mounted character is gonna be a halfling or gnome. All your damage comes from multipliers, and a riding dog is only medium sized which means you can take it anywhere.
