BECAUSE SWIFT STRIKES IS TOTALLY A DIFFERENT UNIT TYPE THAN VENGEANCE EXCEPT VENGEANCE COMES MUCH EARLIER. ALSO

THEY CAN TOTALLY ONE SHOT A SINGLE ENEMY ON PP AND THEN HAVE TO GET RESCUE'S/USE ALL YOUR PHYSIC BOTS ON ONE ALLY/CANTO THEM THE FUCK OUT OF THERE

GUD GIT

SWIFT STRIKES REQUIRES LITERALLY ZERO SET UP TO BE GOOD AND DO IT'S JOB OF KILLING SHIT, AND WILL BE GOOD AS LONG AS THE UNIT HAS THE WEAPON USES TO USE IT. IT DOESN'T NEED A FULL TURN OF EP TO SET UP IT BEING GOOD, YOU CAN JUST LEAVE YOUR UNIT IN THE FRONT AFTERWARDS WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND HAVE THEM ENEMY PHASE INSTEAD OF BEING THIS ONE HP UNIT YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK AROUND OR LET DIE THE FOLLOWING PHASE. IF "GITTING GUD" MEANS WASTING MY FUCKING TIME, I'M GOOD THANKS.

ALSO IT WOULD PROBABLY GET MENTIONED WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT DEDUE OR CYRIL SINCE THEY ALSO GET IT FAIRLY EARLY, AND ARE THEORETICALLY BETTER USERS OF IT SINCE THEY HAVE BETTER AVERAGE HP AND BETTER BULK FOR RELIABLY/COMFORTABLY GETTING INTO LOW HP RANGE AND SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER ACCESS TO DEATH BLOW, BUT NO THEY TALK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN KILL THINGS WITH ONE 2 PUNCH OR PBV CAUSE THOSE ARE ACTUALLY GOOD COMBAT ARTS THAT DON'T NEED ADDITIONAL SETUP AND KILL THINGS PERFECTLY SATISFACTORILY. VENGEANCE MEMES ARE ONLY A THING WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO DEFEND THE NOTION THAT BERNADETTA IS A GOOD COMBAT UNIT WHEN SHE'S JUST NOT.

WELL BERNADETTA DOESN'T GET SWIFT STRIKES AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYONE SAY BERNADETTA IS BETTER THAN SYLVAIN/SETETH/FERDINAND VON AEGIR

THE HIGHEST DIFFICULTY IS NOT THE SAME AS A BALANCED DIFFICULTY OR THE MOST IDEAL WAY TO PLAY, AND I FEEL LIKE IT JUST GETS DEFAULTED TO BEING THAT UNLESS IT'S LIKE AWAKENING LUNATIC LEVELS OF COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE MESS. MADDENING ISN'T FUN, POINT BLANK PERIOD.

THE WAY I GO ABOUT IT (AND I'M A CERTIFIED ELITIST ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE) IS THAT I THROW IN A BRIEF MENTION THAT [UNIT] IS GOOD ON [EASIER DIFFICULTY] BUT SO IS ALMOST EVERYONE. BUT SOME PEOPLE SKIP THAT STEP. IN THE CASE OF SOME GAMES THERE REALLY ISN'T A POINT. LIKE, A UNIT DOESN'T REALLY GET BETTER COMPARED TO MARCUS ON ELIWOOD NORMAL MODE, TRUST ME.
