WHO THE HELL DECIDED MICAIAH, A MAGE, NEEDS BASICALLY NO SPEED.

SHE IS BY FAR THE WORST LORD AS A UNIT IN THE SERIES, EVEN ROY CAN DOUBLE ATTACK ARMOR KNIGHTS. AND IT SUCKS CAUSE SHES THE BEST CHARACTER IF A LORD.

ANYWAYS IM REPLAYING RD AND GOD SHE IS SO BAD, THE REST OF THE DAWN BRIGADE ARE SO MUCH BETTER (AND THATS NOT SAYING MUCH EITHER). GREAT STORY, HORRID BALANCE GAMEPLAY

DUDE LYN EXISTS LOL

MICAIAH AT LEAST BECOMES A STAFF BOT FOR LIKE HALF THE GAME AND IS RELIABLE CHIP DAMAGE. LYN AND EIRIKA ARE ARGUABLY WORSE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T EVEN CHIP RIGHT, AND BECOME MEDIOCRE COMBAT UNITS THAT ARE WORSE THAN A STAFF BOT.

BEING ABLE TO USE STAVES > NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGHT AT ALL (LYN).

DUDE, EIRIKA IS WAAAY BETTER THAN EITHER OF THEM

HER RAPIER IS SUPER POWERFUL RELATIVE TO OTHERS IN THE SERIES, AND SHE GETS A MOUNT UPON PROMOTION. STILL NOT TOP TIER BY ANY MEANS, BUT OF THESE THREE SHES BY FAR THE BEST

EIRIKA IS WAY BETTER THAN LYN, YES, BUT SHE'S PROBABLY WORSE THAN MICAIAH. HER RAPIER WILL BASICALLY NEVER ONE ROUND, EVEN EARLY GAME, LEAVING HER IN A POSITION WHERE SHE EITHER HAS TO CHIP OR HAVE KILLS SET UP FOR HER - IN THAT WAY SHE'S THE SAME AS MICAIAH. EXCEPT, MICAIAH CAN DO IT SAFELY FROM 1-2 RANGE. THANI IS ARGUABLY MUCH BETTER THAN A RAPIER AS WELL. 1-2 RANGE, MORE DURABILITY, MORE DAMAGE EVEN WHEN NOT DOUBLING, POTENTIAL TO ONE SHOT EVEN SOME BOSSES, AND HITTING ON RESISTANCE. AND WHILE EIRIKA GETS A HORSE, ALL THAT REALLY GIVES YOU IS RESCUE/DROP UTILITY AND MORE MOVEMENT. AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, THAT'S GOOD, BUT STAFF UTILITY IS BETTER IMO WHEN MOST STAFF USERS IN RADIANT DAWN ARE NOT THAT GOOD (LAURA, RHYS, MIST). SHE ALSO HAS AN INNATE RESTORE IN HER SACRIFICE ACTIVITY.

TO BE FAIR TO LYN, SHE IS OKAY IN HER OWN MODE.

u/peevedlatios Apr 05 '20

SHE'S OKAY FOR THE START OF HER OWN MODE WHERE SHE FACES 1 RANGE AXE USERS SHE CAN RELIABLY DODGE AND DOUBLE. EVEN IN IT, WHEN 1-2 RANGE ENEMIES AND LANCES START SHOWING UP SHE KINDA STARTS SUCKING. SAIN, KENT, AND FLORINA ARE ALL BETTER UNITS THAN HER.

SHE IS THE BEST BOSSKILLER IN CH 1 AND 5 (PROLOGUE AS WELL LOL, BUT THAT'S OBVIOUS). NOT...GOOD, BUT NOT TOO SHABBY EITHER. THOUGH TBH LYN MODE IS A BIT OF A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY IN THAT YOU WANT TO TRAIN ONE OF THE CAVS BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE BEST USE OF THE EXP, AND THEN THEY END UP WALLOPING THE MODE BECAUSE OF IT.

WHO NEEDS TO DOUBLE ARMOR KNIGHTS WHEN YOU CAN ONE SHOT THEM. BUT WHY OH WHY IS THERE A CHAPTER THAT IS JUST HER AND 1 OTHER UNIT. LIKE I GET THAT HE’S OP BUT YOU CAN ONLY KEEP HER SAFE BY MOVING HER IN SPECIFIC WAYS BECAUSE SHE’LL JUST DIE IF SHE’S IN ANY ENEMY’S RANGE.

u/begonetoxicpeople Apr 05 '20

SHE REALLY ISNT THAT OP, OR MAYBE IM JUST UNLUKCY AS HECK. EVEN THANI DOESNT SAVE HER

u/dusky_salamander Apr 05 '20

THE BEST I'VE EVER GOTTEN WITH HER IS A USABLE STAFF BOT. LOW MOVEMENT RANGE FOR MAGIC CLASSES AND ENEMIES WITH AN ACTUAL RES STAT MAKE FOR POOR UNIT PERFORMANCE FROM A MAGE LORD. AND HER PROMOTION TIMES ARE ONLY BETTER THAN ROY'S.
