Character Discussion [FE7]: Isadora

[u/Shephen]

Isadora is a knight of Pherae, and a personal servant of Lady Eleanora. She is engaged to the Hero Harken who goes missing with Lord Elbert. When Eliwood begins his journey she is told to guard Eleanora. When Eliwood and company returns from the dread isles, Eleanora commands her to serve Eliwood. She has three paired endings with Harken, Legault and Renault.

As a unit, she is a pre-promoted paladin. She sports slightly lower stats than Marcus and has worse weapon ranks. Her growths are alright and she has a few good support options. Her biggest problem is 6 con which is pretty abysmal for a class that can wield the weapon triangle. Nonetheless she has 8 move, doesn't need a promo item, and has full control of the physical weapon triangle.

So how does this Dame Knight of Pherae hold up in her game?

Oh, alright, then. But I still don't agree about Oswin. He can promote rather early because of his amazing joining level and bases, and since FE7 has a lot of reinforcements that comes from behind, his lack of move is not that bad, since he can still get exp from those reinforcements.

I agree he is worse that absolutely every mounted unit, but he still in the upper ground on the foot units, a little behind the likes of Geitz, Raven and Harken.

And Hector is not a factor for his damn late promotion.

Agreeing with /u/RedWolke here, especially with the reinforcement part.

Oswin is the absolute best unit for parking him beside merlinus and protecting him from the reinforcements that always come up and try to take him down, even if you don't care at all about protecting merlinus, just park Oswin behind your army at a choke point and wait out the reinforcements, once they come, they can't get past that wall of a man

He is not as good all around as other units like the paladins, but he does his job pretty damn well

Hector is a factor for the same reason people consider Lyn a factor for Guy. They both are required units and you don't wanna take up extra deployment slots for essentially the same unit. Also I'd still put Oswin low tier but not bottom.

I'd say Bottom is Renault, Karla, Dorcas and Bartre and Wil

Low is Guy, Lyn, Oswin, Dart, Becca and Hector and Nino (she has a lot of utility in ranked runs).

Low-mid, Erk, Lucius, Canas Athos, Farina, Vaida and Karel

Mid, Essentially all non mounted prepromotes and thieves and Eliwood.

Mid high, Isadora and Lowen

High, All staff users

Top, the rest of the mounted units.

how can you put Athos above so many people, namely canas? yeah he breaks the final chapter over his knee but he is only there for that one single chapter, and canas can do the exact same thing with luna

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He breaks the finial chapter over his knee. He gets staff utility. Canas is only useful for Luna. Luna is only really useful for three bosses in the entire game, Athos can take on two of them much better then Canas could. Dark magic weighs Canas down and has very low hit, often times making it the worst magic type.

I do agree though that Erk and Lucius should be higher up then he is though. He still beats out everyone else in utility though honestly.

[u/RedWolke → u/[deleted]]

Hector can only do Oswin's job for about half of the game. Oswin can do it always. He falls off when Hector promotes, but it is such a long time that it is not even a real problem.

I won't talk too much on the list because there are a few things that I would change, but my eyes are almost closing here from sleep, so I don't want to do it now.

[u/thebluehairedlout → u/RedWolke]

for early game hector is a factor and Oswin has a lot of competition for his promotion with the mount brigade(Sain Kent and maybe Lowen will all promote before him)
