That's Ike, I'm pretty sure you're talking about a fantasy. Or perhaps some hacking shenanigans? I do remember an LP that that a Mist that did really well with her stat ups and there were people calculating if she could beat the Black Knight, I seem to recall some screenshots about it. My memory is a bit fuzzy though, been a few years since I saw that LP.

Ragnell isn't the weapon used to kill Greil, Alondite was. Anybody with SS rank sword (including potentially Mist) can use Alondite in Radiant Dawn.

No Ike uses Ragnell and Greil was killed with Alondite. Which you get near the end of Radiant Dawn and subsequently give to Mist because I mean who else is going to use this sword? Elincia and Ike already have unique weapons! Unless you brought like Mia along for some reason, I guess.

I think I gave Alondite to Mia my first playthrough and then the second time on hard mode I just brought a giant pile of laguz royals to endgame and didn't even have a sword user other than Ike with me

Ike and his mercenary company are the main dudes in the gamecube game.

Ike is your standard sword lord, except he doesnt care a bit for politicking or religion and just wants to kill the bad guys, be cool like his dad, and stop the problem.

Mist is Ikes little sister and is a peaceful soul. She starts off weak, but picks up a horsie and swords on promotion giving her decent utility tjat offsets her mediocre statline

Titania is your starting pally and ikes second in command. She uses axes and turns out to be a great unit if you use her. Her advice tends to take the moral high ground

Path of Radiance is one of the best Fire Emblem games out there assuming you can put up with it being slow as gently caress and having to turn enemy ranges back on every single turn

So, if Ike steals your heart in this game you won't be disappointed playing the game he's from

The inheritance tier list is even worse because some people will go to insane lengths to make a bad character viable. Oboro is trash tier on the regular tier list and way up at A on the Inheritance tier list because somebody made a build with her that involves eating Hector for distant counter :shepface:

Not all the data is right either, Priscilla is supposed to cap at 32 str according to the wiki, but mine has more.

My TA3 Leo rides with my Reinhardt (which I was using even before arena BST changes) for the sole purpose of running over enemy Julia's and Cecilia's. Along with a TA3 Olivia dancer support.

Leo is one of those weird offbeat not-quite-meta heroes that I don't have a plan for because I see him so rarely, so I hope I never face you. Assuming you don't run darting blow (or aren't +spd with some other speed-boosting skill) I can bait and double him with Tiki but she folds like wet paper to Reinhardt so I'd have to separate them.

Depending on your Julia she might be able to do it with LaD 2, mine clocks in at 57 attack and just one shots most Takumis.

My Life and Death 2 Julia (+atk/-hp) can safely bait most Takumis with a def buff and can OHKO most Takumis with an atk buff. You might not need a dedicated Takumi counter if you have Julia (though obviously run the numbers with the one you actually have)

I run my Julia with Bowbreaker solely to deal with Takumi's since they used to ruin my arena runs. She's also + defence so she can pretty easily bait Klein's as well.

Julia is probably the scariest thing I can run across because she can't easily die to Reinhardt or YTiki. It's part of the reason I gave Olivia a Ruby Sword.

YTiki with lightning breath+ and g tomebreaker deals with julia with a bit of hp to spare but that's a pretty intensive inheritance package

Oboro was proto-Lukas. Slightly worse main stats, much worse starting skillset, but you can get 90% of the way to his effectiveness with her as a 2 move armourish unit eventually (much easier merges obviously).

I only have one source of both so I'm loathe to spend 24,000 feathers to mulch two unique units.

Also my YTiki is -ATK :(

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
So if you were me and could up jump one of the following to 5 star, which would it be? +Atk-hp Nino, -Atk +res Eirika, or a neutral nowi? The rest of my team is swordbreaker eldigan, quick riposte Minerva, azura, and right now g Tomebreaker bunny Camilla.

Leaning towards nowi but Nino seems pretty boss too. Gotta admit I do like having a flying ranged unit in b Camilla but I'm not sure she's quite as powerful as the other two. Then again maybe I'm better off with the buff battery in Eirika. Any help would be appreciated!

Outside of Hector and Takumi there are absolutely no sources of inheritable Close/Distant Counters, right? I'd be cool to have either or on more units than just two very very rare units.
