And if you wanna be serious about using a sword locked unit, if you want a Swordmaster, Joshua is the best choice, you get it in either ch10 or end of 14. If you want an Assassin, you can get Assassin Colm as early as chapter 9/10. Marisa just doesn't have enough going for her statwise, and some people say she's the worst unit in the game, which ngl is absolutely hilarious when Amelia has garbage bases and aside from luck not very good growths.
@@Wildflower2760i disagree about Amelia is worst unit, if you train her, to become more better unit, i choose Amelia to become General is much suitable unit promote for survive, you want Amelia to become paladin and great knight? That's just worst unit for Amelia, she broken especially luck growth up fast from level up
@@kerryvanskonsol792 I should've specified, I meant Amelia specifically if you don't recruit her in Chapter 9 of Eirika route. She then can be recruited in Chapter 13, which at that point is honestly not worth it at all (unless you tower grind but anyone can be good with that). It's just far too late at that point, as basically you gotta get her to lvl.10 in Ch.14 (you're not doing this in CH.13) and then she'll promote, just to be a lackluster unit who may help defend Eirika but not much else. She'll probably have to early promote at ch.16, or even worse, in the middle of it, and this is the stretch of FE8 that really starts throwing bullshit at you, and at this point most people are gonna have most of their units promoted except the lords. Ch.13 Amelia just comes far too late in the game and basically requires tower grinding. Also the other issue is despite the extra trainee levels, her growths aren't that good. General's bulk leads are negligible, and if you really want axes you'd rather go Great Knight.
‘Assassin;’ wrong, try again.
Tbh Marisa sucks regardless but honestly it's not that surprising for her to not hit neither of the str caps until postgame
