Unless there are links in ur post, then u click whatever link was first, (if there are multiple links)

Ok. Thank you so much! Despite your username, you reply quite a lot!
Just recapping that paragraph:
Raphael is overpowered, and gauntlets in general are overpowered;
I prefer keeping Marianne as a healer;
Lysithea is a glass cannon–powerful, but low on HP and DEF;
I prefer pegasus knights to wyvern riders b/c wyverns tend to have low RES, and pegasi have higher of that stat.
Also, (again, sorry if this has already been covered), who is your favourite character, house leader, whatever, storywise, and gameplay wise?

So far my favourite characters are Claude, Hilda, and Sylvaine, for various reasons
And I like Wyvern riders because they look cool and I haven't really had any pegasus riders yet.
.
And to note my user, I put that there because I've been very sporadic with a lot of my Roleplay threads lately, I tend to be very active in threads like this that I actually show interest in, otherwise I have mainly roleplay in my DMs, and some of them have been laid off for a bit due to burnout.
My user is currently acting as an explanation to those people, because I won't always talk to them directly.

Nice to all of that (including the off-topic note)! And I was simply making an observation about your username, not trying to poke fun at you or anything. But that makes sense. And omg I love Sylvain! I also really like Felix, Linhardt, Lysithea, and ALL the house leaders (like you, for various reasons).

What are yall feeding Raphael that he's actually good? He always gets outclassed by literally anyone else. See, when it comes to gauntlets, imo swordmaster Felix is the way to go.
Also Balthus is the best brawler in the game, but he is dlc

Raphael is just a really good heavy hitter depending on how you use him, he's great for cleaning up leftovers and dealing hard punches to monsters.
I have him as a Warmaster, (I think?) And using an axe or sometimes gauntlets… Honestly I need to have I'm using gauntlets more just for the power.

Yeah…idk what he got (I know I chose to eat like all the time in the monastery lol). I think I just leveled him up a bit. He dealt like 70 damage with each hit of his gauntlets and he hit 4 times…(okay, maybe 70 is a little bit of an exaggeration, perhaps around 40?)

I've kind of put brawler/Warmaster types to the wayside. They're fine for normal level play but once you get into hard, and God forbid maddening, their hit rates go down so much its hardly worth it

ehh… I honestly don't know anymore…
I haven't played in over a week so I would have to look at it to give you a better idea of my main play group

All I know is I ALWAYS use Felix, Lysithea, Sylvain, and Petra. The rest depends on my path and the difficulty I'm playing on.

Yeah, Brawlers/Warmasters are never my faves…and the only FE game I've played on hard is Awakening, which I've played like four times (I love it soo much!), and I haven't played any FE games on lunatic/maddening (but I've only played like five–the ones after Awakening).
I always liked using Shamir since she was just ridiculously strong for some reason…not to mention she got to be a bow knight, which are not as overpowered as they are in Echoes (seriously, they are OVERPOWERED), but close to that level of awesomeness.
And that made me think of how weak Manuela, Hanneman, Cyril, Flayn, and Seteth always were for me. Seriously, Manuela never learns Physic, making her inferior to literally every other mage (I don't remember whether Flayn learns Physic or not).

Honestly, Cyril's not too bad as long as he's not being attacked too often…
I haven't really used Flayn tho, she was too weak…
Seteth sometimes, but only when I need an extra Wyvern rider
I honestly don't really like mages too much, it's hard to equip them properly and their defence is.. just.. sighs in frustration
I will admit that Lysithea can be surprisingly powerful though… and Marianne has saved my hide a bunch… I'm trying to turn both into mounted mages for better movement, but… it's slow going.

Flayn is only good as a dancer- but she's not even the best dancer in the game. And no, she does not learn physic.
Mages are amazing, you just have to be careful with battle formations of course. Otherwise they get destroyed.

And hot take? They should stop genderlocking classes. Linhardt, for example, suffers from not having access to the gremory class. A lot of the guys would benefit from dipping into Pegasus knight to get the mastery skill. And dark mage is locked to guys only, which sucks because it would make some of the ladies even more broken.

OOooooooo I would love to turn Lysithea into a dark mage!!!
And I think Lorenz would do SO well as a pegasus knight, like…
And also what is a Gremory??

Also flayn is good as an adjutant too..

Gremory is a master class in the mage tree.
And yes, healing adjutants are best adjutants.

Yeah, typically I only used Flayn as a healing adjutant.
At first, I didn't know dancers could use magic (since they can't in the other FE games I've played), but in my two runthroughs where I figured out how to get a dancer, I've had Mercedes and Dorothea be my dancers.
And YES, healing adjutants are the BEST, especially for the tank characters who just need lots of healing.
