I dropped Arthur from my active roster, sadly. His accuracy is absolutely terrible even without that Gamble skill of his.

It's a shame because I friggin love him as a character.

[JoshuaFH]

Yeah, Axefighters are always really hard to train up in every FE, they're strong, but they tend to be kinda squishy in addition to being limited to axes, the least accurate and versatile of weapon types.

[Tawa]

Well, you can take Gamble off of him, I believe.

I know that feel, though, I had to do the same thing with Odin. He was getting miraculously good MAG growths, but I'd flip-flopped between him and Nyx too much and he was still level 10 around the time everyone else was promoting. [He was my favorite character in Awakening, too.] How could I not love a guy who's described as "the most likely to shout 'Level up!'"?

Spoiler: On that note (click to show/hide)

Are Laslow, Selena, and Odin worthy of having their true identities mentioned outside of invisitext?

Largo will always be my favorite axe-user for statistics, though. In PoR, you could get 50% crits right off the bat with him, as Fedule wonderfully demonstrates here. Shame he didn't come back in Radiant Dawn. :v

EDIT: This reminds me: Arthur's voice actor is Cam "Liquid Snake" Clarke. I'll be damned if he's not excellent at giving as hammy a performance as possible.

Fighters (aka Vaike, goddammit Vaike) are kind of squishy since they don't have super dodge rates against more accurate enemies and are cannon fodder for multiple tome users, but if you put them against, say, Myirms they do all right since their defense kinda negates the Myirm's damage and they don't have as good dodge rates as Thieves.
On a different note, Donny is my new Thiefkiller. Seriously, the guy took at most seven damage total from three, and actually zero from one of them.
While doing fourteen in return.

[Sirus]

Promote Donny into a mercenary when you get the chance. His amazing Luck growths will make a certain merc skill incredibly useful.

As far as axe-fighters go...Vaike was alright. At least the ability to grind meant that he was never too far behind, plus being the only axe user on the team for a while meant he saw a lot of use fighting anything with spears.
Boyd was probably my favorite axe fighter of all time. He started growing and just never stopped.

UGH CORDELIA YOU'RE PERFECT FOR THIS MAP STOP GETTING HIT BY ALL THREE ENEMIES AND THEN DYING

UGH CORDELIA YOU'RE PERFECT FOR THIS MAP STOP GETTING HIT BY ALL THREE ENEMIES AND THEN DYING

Which one are you on?

[SOLDIER First]

A Merc Challenge, on.. The weird twisty map for Chapter 5. I put Cordelia on the centermost fort (with Panne), but she keeps taking ~10 damage hits (two from Mercs, one from a Cavalier) and then dying, because 28 health. They're all reasonably sure hits, which makes savescumming a daunting task.

[JoshuaFH]

Just gonna have to stop running her into death then! A rule of thumb I use, is if the enemy has a nonzero chance of hitting, assume they'll always hit. That's just how the RNG rolls.

[SOLDIER First]

I shall resist the urge to point out every <58% hit that's missed and agree with you. I do notice that, without considering True Hit, 60% and above is usually alright, 70% is pretty guaranteed (except for a few rather frustrating misses from Cordelia on a separate occasion), and less than 60% is a rare, if usually nonimportant, surprise.
Crits at or below 20% happen at very random times, too.

Still on Sacred Stones, I'm doing the mission with Gerik and Tethys and Innes.  I had this one down perfect, next turn I was gonna move INnes back and have Gerik convert Marisa for a perfect round.

Then the priest got a fucking 14% chance sleep on Gerik and blew the entire thing to hell.  Ended up with Marisa and Natasha both dead.

I'm on like my fourth try for thsi mission because the RNG keeps fucking me.  And it doesn't help that Tana's a useless piece of shit.   I'm trying so hard to get her to 10 so she can promote and actually be decent, but everything that looks at her kills her.  This mission also has ballista so if I move her to the wrong square she's instantly toast.

I'm disappointed that the A+ friendship ranking doesn't seem to have any Support Conversation, it's just there for the new Friendship Seals. Now, Friendship Seals are awesome and I plan on using them in the near future, but I want my bromantic fantasies to be validated by the game.

This reminds me: I think my ritual sacrifices to RNGsus are paying off. I've gotten no less than 3 separate 1% crit chances in Fates so far.

I'm thinking that now the RNG might be tied to the Luck stat of the characters in question? My lone anecdotal evidence for this is that in Ch. 19 Arthur missed with 75% chances no less than 4 consecutive times before I promoted him.

I don't think so, FE has always been very straightforward with how simple it's stats and math are. As counter anecdotal evidence: My Mozu, who has more than 30 luck now, is still consistently hit by <20% hit chance encounters. That's simply the FE gods punishing me for my hubris.

Or the removal of True Hit.
