If you love the character put all the good skills on them they would do just fine there's no need for a tier list if they're your waifu or husbando then screw the tier at least that's my opinion.
Sleeping Forest I agree. I'm building up a Laslow, who is one of my favorite FE character, and he is a good unit. I decided to only look at the tier lists as a joke because I'll build who I want.
Dude chill down. I didn't say that, although it is possible with certain units like nowi, able to kill hectors and other green units, however the fact that any magic is able to kill him, is a bit not that good for me.
I don’t follow tier lists. Mainly due to how kinda disturbing they are if you’re favorite character is low tier. I play games for fun. Not for tier lists. They’re for chumps.
Honestly, while I think GamePress definitely has their act together far more than most of the competition in terms of how they explain their decision-making, they still have some really weird decisions and inconsistencies. Maybe I'm missing something as someone who is continually kept OUT of the top tier (been fluctuating back and forth between 17 and 18 for months now; probably could be doing better if I would save my orbs and go for merges on specific units, but I like collecting too much), but focusing so much on "dependency" and "matchups" seems a little odd to me. Reinhardt is still a huge threat, no matter how many units I.S. puts out among the likes of Brave Ike or Inigo or Dorcas or Sigurd, because Fire Emblem runs on a triangle system that rewards team variety. Even if they continue to put out more individual Reinhardt countering units, they will still have other units that he will demolish because they need those units to counter your other units. Frankly, I'm only just now starting to see a shift in Reinhardt dominance, with the increased availability and widespread use of Armor Emblem teams and armored units with higher res and res boosting skills, not to mention skills that block follow ups. The proliferation of Armor Emblem is probably the biggest shift I've ever had to deal with in the game (or at least since Brave units), thanks to their sheer stats, widespread DC usage (which unfortunately I can't make full use of due to lack of duplicate Hectors), and fighter skills. Not to mention their absolute DOMINANCE on the defensive end. Speaking of such, I need a really good arena defense tier list. I don't see mine as particularly threatening despite my powerful units, and I'd like to see if everyone agrees with me that Armor Emblem absolutely dominates in this area. It's gotten to the point that I've switched to giving my Cherche Slaying Hammer+ instead of Brave Axe+ on Flier Runs, just to deal with them (or, of course, I just skip if I see an armored unit on the preview screen).
Itss Tyler Draug is op and easy to merge compared to other armoured units and can solo some of armoured emblem with an armour slayer, plus he is speedy and doesnt need wary fighter
Deathstar 699 i wouldnt say he's op tho, since black knight practically surpassed him on every aspect other than merges, not to mention the heavy investment you need for draug to be truly effective, like DC which is kind of impossible to get for some f2p
Dancers just naturally get put up due to their synergy with teams. That's partly the reason NY Azura is high up there. I honestly expect them all to be up there. It's also a mixture of lack of really good dagger units. Sothe I can see being up there with her though.
There’s no blue times in tier 1 because they’re saving it for Oliver Edit: oh wait never mind this list is trash, Oliver deserves his own tier above everyone else
I think this tier list is pretty good overall. It makes me kinda happy when I see low ranked units like Selena, whom I've made into a really powerful unit now with skill inheritance and merging.
As a Matthew user. The lack of him on the tier list in it's entirety is mind boggling. He's on the same level as Saizo or is entirely superior. Same for Gaius.
They both can run a Close Counter set with Seal ATK/SPD (or ATK) and ATK Smoke 3 with the Distant Def 3 seal and be the worst of cockroaches while buffing up their entire team. That build alone should put them in the same area as Gaius or Kagero. Who cares about the investment? Most of the higher rated enemy phase units rely on Steady Breath, one of the rarest skills in the game unless you're a whale.
Zeo I’d argue close counter is rarer, as more people summon on green increasing their chances at multiple bikes rather than colourless takumi. Also this is a side note now with quick riposte 3 seal, if you combo that with vantage 3 and steady breath, preferably on a dragon, if they land at the sweet spot of between 70 and 75% hp it will make the unit double first when attacked which is broken af.
TheFrostAssassin I'll use miracle to drop them at 1 HP and use TT reward to catch it because I have exactly 30,000 points. Meaning I'll get a 20% catch rate. OK wow I played too much Pokemon
Cherche has versatility with Hit and Run. So it’s very possible on mountain/lava/ocean filled stages for her to get an easy pick and escape melee units. Fred’s movement while yes has more range, is limited by trees, and now trenches, and he can’t easily make the picks without sacrificing himself. Her attack is also slightly higher, and one of the highest in the game. The brave axe “oh boy I hope my numbers are high enough to blow up this unit before they land a single hit” means every bit helps. I don’t know specifics but those few higher points in attack make her able to kill a few more things compared to him. Now on a map where trees and gaps aren’t around is he more useful? Probably, but those make up very little of the arena rotation, which this is a tier list for.
I think Reinhardt should still be top tier with Brave Lyn and the rest. There's a reason he became such a meme. Even without horse emblem, you need a dedicated counter to him when you enter the arena. Not just any green will do. He's not as good as Brave Lyn admittedly, who in my opinion, is still the best unit in the game. But he is very centralising nonetheless.
Ben Griffiths Yes however rein has alot of counters now even amoungst blue units thanks to berkuts lance, even lance breaker cant remedy that not to mention 90% of green units counter him and every arena team is gonna have a green unit
Without horse emblem he's not too tier in my opinion. He gets demolished by characters like lute micaiah and some other blue tome units. He just has so many counters now so I dont think he's tiptop tier anymore
The only things about this would be to possibly move up Amelia and Winter Robin, getting speed refine on their weapons (and maybe +spd) puts them in a very good spot. Just my opinion though.
Kenneth Anderson Brave Ike doesn’t have DC, Quick Repose+Vantage and the arena points that armors have . Hector also has higher HP and Defense . Not saying BIke is bad but Hector can fill his role decently with urvan like seals with Deflect Magic/Distant Defense 3
I'm not trying to say that he's the best Falchion user or anything like that, I know that he's the worst easily. But his stats aren't so drastically awful that he should be THAT far behind the rest.
I agree purely because he has enough hp for panic ploy and has a decent attack stat for a sword unit, run him with sword breaker and heavy blade seal and he actually performs quite well
Is fury better than Death Blow for Eliwood? Mine has DB and he does amazing damage with Astra + Blazing Durandal. Although Fury does sync with desperation and he’s fast with hone cavalry.
Actually eliwood has higher atk than B roy and can take more hits plus he uses blazing durandal a bit better the only reaon he is a teir below roy is because his speed is bad outside of horse emblem
Actually NY Corrin with Guard Bow (+Def/Res) with Distant Defense (A Skill) Guard/Bowbreaker/Vantage (B Skill) with a Quick Riposte/Distant Defense (sacred seal) is going to be my new project and I’ll make Corrin S+ tier
been working on mine, so far iv +1d him, gave him a def refined guard bow+, bowbreaker(soon to change it, no bow is going to penetrate him now anyway) and distant def 3 seal, yet to give him a distant def A skill
The way they made this list is that tier 1 is equivalent to everybody, meaning that tier 1 of red has the same requirements as a tier 1 green unit. Basically, the best green units out of all other green units are placed into tier 1 for the green category. There is a dotted line between the tier 1, and that's what they call tier 1*, which is pretty funny because they're all 5*s, and it's called tier 1*.
I love how every tier list underestimates Olwen and consider her to be a worse Reinhardt. I guess they never had to deal with Quad Olwen with or without Horse Emblem. LOL Also Amelia being below Hector is hysterical!
Is it really good when Cordelia/Tana/Ephraim are all in the tier 1 status for lance units while distant counter units like Camus and Fjorm are in tier 3 status? Heck I'd consider Lukas in tier 3 to be a better character than Ephraim.
it makes me sad that hinata is higher then male corrin. i just hope that his weapon refinery makes him very good. also ive been using ephraim as a tank this whole time and im starting to think im doing it wrong....
The experience with Micaiah is pretty damn good as I build her with memes for double distant def, which gives her 50 Res & 30 Def, basically can tank most mages including green mages with relative ease. She is capable of 1 shot Brave Lyn and shred armors(quite frankly not all), a two in one benefit of Thani, she can kill most Horses for Arena tier 18 & 19. Her speed can be bad or good depending on IVs as - spd gives 25 base which always had me open for getting doubled which I think that's why I gave her double DD because 25 is nearly nonredeemable. Another lovable factor is not the good Atk(36), but the BIRB, IT'S DAMN ADORABLE. Daggers were pretty horrific but more improved, slightly. Their purpose in this game is quite lesser and meh with threaten and ploy is more useful for saving a unit's action for other things, which was another reason seal skills weren't that greatly appreciated as much(for me, but I dunno 'bout you). Honestly I feel disgusted that a 5* Dagger has less than 30 atk base without weapon. Jaffar and Soth might be more useful with their decent attack. Jaffar with his anti-mage upgrade and full AoE damage built in theory can really gut punch and take care of mages but of course this role can be ousted by Brave Bows, not that they do it better but it's more common to acquire and provide similar results, until you hit a armor mage, that is. I like Jaffar, though I don't have him, which also means going through colorless hell is going be a pain. Also, remember to build what's best for your favorite unit, unless if you're talking about Rebecca, throw her off the damn window. Just kidding keep investing into them and you'll probably in the end know if they are truely good, but Takumi will never have his former glory, or so I hope.
Rein can't do shit? What about literally every other meta Mage ever? (every red Mage, every fast bladetome Mage) and screw it, literally every Mage that has a decent attack stat and that can double beruka will kill her
The red slots in my armour emblem have changed so much, at first I didn't have a red unit because draug wasn't worth it IMO, then I got zephiel who I used for ages. Then Black Knight came along, and I didn't want to replace zephiel so I kicked Sheena and had two reds for a while. Then Arden comes along and finally kicks zephiel out, I summon a winter Tharja to replace Arden, and I just summoned zelgius who will replace black Knight.
Emmanuel Willis So can Zelgius, and he’s pretty much a better BK. Run Vantage and Brash Assault Seal or Deflect Magic, and you have one of the best Sword units. Not to mention: ARMOR BUFFS and BLACK LUNA.
Emmanuel Willis BK still gets a slight bump because of armor buffs. That’s why I also mentioned Zelgius, because they’re a few BST away and are almost similar with their weapon and special. Also, Steady stance is good fodder for BK, although his availability does bring him down so I can see that argument.
Sage, what in your opinion is the best build for Fjorm? I really wanna run Sothe, Inigo, Fjorm (mostly for her blessing for Sothe) and Michiah or Ayra or BIke. My horse team has dominated too long and i really want to plow through content with a new team. Any advice?
I feel like once you see my Clive you'd say he's tier 4 instead of tier 5. 50 hp 56 atk 33 spd 27 def 14 res. With lancebreaker and threaten def (and L&D3/Atk+2 seal/speed refined silver lance+). I also use pavise because that tends to save his ass way more often than escutcheon, in my experience.
Thanks Sages for saying that tier lists are just opinions. I use my +Atk Laslow and he does a very nice job with a good build! I really love a lot of characters who in Fire Emblem Heroes... didn’t get the best stats haha
Honestly the only problem I see is placing Flying Azura over Axura. That free buff Axe and access WoM with it definately is equal if not greater to simply being a flier. Nice list overall though.
Lmao I'm using all tier three units besides PA!Azura, yet I sweep the arena pretty well. It's NY!Takumi, Fjorm, Arvis and PA!Azura. When doing arena runs, however, I switch Arvis around with whatever bonus unit is needed, since he's best used for things like Tempest Trial.
Gamepress was always the superior source to the wiki. This has remained evident throughout the history of the game ever since the end of Takumi's reign. Yes, despite the fact that just now, I looked up Hector and realised that the optimal build they had for him used Armads with the QR seal, I still regard them as more credible. (But seriously, that was a goof if ever I saw one.)
Ugh cmon people. Hector is not the best green unit. He can't be when Dorcas, Brave Ike, and Amelia exist. Also, I don't agree about Elincia being higher than Ike and Ryoma. I also disagree with Nowi's placement.

_Remember kids, tier lists are reference tools, not meta bibles._
If you love the character put all the good skills on them they would do just fine there's no need for a tier list if they're your waifu or husbando then screw the tier at least that's my opinion.
Couldn’t agree more with this!
Like my king of Bern Zephiel
Aww thank you guys😶
Sleeping Forest I agree. I'm building up a Laslow, who is one of my favorite FE character, and he is a good unit. I decided to only look at the tier lists as a joke because I'll build who I want.
DragonXZ Gamer for me I plan on making a 10+ tharja she +atk res- I decided to do this because I have more copies of her.
Lol, Fae is the only green dragon.
Toast & Soup she's both top tier and bottom tier for green dragons
+Reggi Slowgas You cannot have competition if there's nobody to compete with.
Fae needs a friend, maybe we can get Idunn in the game soon
I want mrryh as a green dragon
Natalie Coronado if we do, she better have hone dragons
*You cannot ignore Nowi's girth.*
Varna Nowi is a Trap confirmed
I swear Zelgius literally powercrept himself
soleil_ _ Yeah he definitely did
Blue mages still counter him though.
Kenneth Anderson Deflect Magic Seal + Vantage
Kenneth Anderson WHOA!? YOU MEAN TRIANGLE DISADVANTAGE CAN MAKE YOU LOSE MATCHUPS!? I NEVER WOULD HAVE *HECKING* GUESSED!!!
Dude chill down. I didn't say that, although it is possible with certain units like nowi, able to kill hectors and other green units, however the fact that any magic is able to kill him, is a bit not that good for me.
I don’t follow tier lists. Mainly due to how kinda disturbing they are if you’re favorite character is low tier. I play games for fun. Not for tier lists. They’re for chumps.
That's a lot of characters...Sweet baby jesus.
Remember when we only started with 99?
#MakeLeoGreatAgain
Some of these I get, and some of these I don't get
Jamaroode Gaming for me it's how some staff units are far lower than I thought. Like Pain Train Lucius or Bridal Lyn.
I get that Olivia is a Dancing Dagger unit, but Sothe is better than her in my opinion
PinkyFluff He is..... but he can't DANCE
Dance > Stats.
Honestly, while I think GamePress definitely has their act together far more than most of the competition in terms of how they explain their decision-making, they still have some really weird decisions and inconsistencies.

Itss Tyler Draug is op and easy to merge compared to other armoured units and can solo some of armoured emblem with an armour slayer, plus he is speedy and doesnt need wary fighter
Deathstar 699 i wouldnt say he's op tho, since black knight practically surpassed him on every aspect other than merges, not to mention the heavy investment you need for draug to be truly effective, like DC which is kind of impossible to get for some f2p
I like/trust PM1's tier list the most.
Yuki Yuhi same here
Not much
Oliver tier 5?!?!!! Time to poison some more mutton
They put normal Cordelia a higher tier than bridal, and the list doesn't even count emblems.
I’m just remembering the day one Heroes when Takumi was considered a problem. Oddly enough, he was my second five star.
Did you know you can get Fjorm by completing Chapter 1 in book 2
Nice meme
This joke is DED
The joke is ded now move on.
Greninja_Scope did you know this meme is dead?
Thanks Matthew!
Eh. I see major issues in the upper echelons alone.
Is this tier list only based on match up charts? Definitely not based on tactically viability.
>A dagger unit with 36, 33 offensive spread is lower than Olivia.
Ah Yes.... dancer bias....
He should be on her level.
GrimmLow sothe?
Dancers just naturally get put up due to their synergy with teams. That's partly the reason NY Azura is high up there. I honestly expect them all to be up there. It's also a mixture of lack of really good dagger units. Sothe I can see being up there with her though.
We should be asking why Gaius is so high up
Microtransagolor gaius has really high speed so him with desperation or a sweep skill can be really useful.
it makes sense because sothe say vs a dc armor team is basically useless. but olivia will always be useful.
Finally not a wiki tier list. And it's understandable and how I picture it to people some units work. Thanks for showing us this.
There’s no blue times in tier 1 because they’re saving it for Oliver
Edit: oh wait never mind this list is trash, Oliver deserves his own tier above everyone else
I think Pheonixmaster1's tier list is the best
I think this tier list is pretty good overall. It makes me kinda happy when I see low ranked units like Selena, whom I've made into a really powerful unit now with skill inheritance and merging.

Good job youtube your actually working for once
As a Matthew user. The lack of him on the tier list in it's entirety is mind boggling. He's on the same level as Saizo or is entirely superior. Same for Gaius.
Zeo Being on the same level as Saizo isn't that much either.
Zeo he’s down in tier 6
They both can run a Close Counter set with Seal ATK/SPD (or ATK) and ATK Smoke 3 with the Distant Def 3 seal and be the worst of cockroaches while buffing up their entire team. That build alone should put them in the same area as Gaius or Kagero. Who cares about the investment?

At least if it works like that, I still need to test it
A wild tier list appeared!
TheFrostAssassin I'll use miracle to drop them at 1 HP and use TT reward to catch it because I have exactly 30,000 points. Meaning I'll get a 20% catch rate.
OK wow I played too much Pokemon
Nowi’s got the GIRTH
Frederick is a "Cherche in a horse" but lower than Cherche...
The same goes to various other units...
Atrie Prower fred is crazy powerful
+(Le) As someone who uses Frederick on their Horse Emblem team, I can vouch for that.
Cherche has versatility with Hit and Run. So it’s very possible on mountain/lava/ocean filled stages for her to get an easy pick and escape melee units. Fred’s movement while yes has more range, is limited by trees, and now trenches, and he can’t easily make the picks without sacrificing himself. Her attack is also slightly higher, and one of the highest in the game. The brave axe “oh boy I hope my numbers are high enough to blow up this unit before they land a single hit” means every bit helps. I don’t know specifics but those few higher points in attack make her able to kill a few more things compared to him. Now on a map where trees and gaps aren’t around is he more useful? Probably, but those make up very little of the arena rotation, which this is a tier list for.
Fred doesn't have 52 base attack last time I checked
I think Reinhardt should still be top tier with Brave Lyn and the rest. There's a reason he became such a meme. Even without horse emblem, you need a dedicated counter to him when you enter the arena. Not just any green will do. He's not as good as Brave Lyn admittedly, who in my opinion, is still the best unit in the game. But he is very centralising nonetheless.
Ben Griffiths Yes however rein has alot of counters now even amoungst blue units thanks to berkuts lance, even lance breaker cant remedy that not to mention 90% of green units counter him and every arena team is gonna have a green unit
My Hector always makes quick work of him.
Without horse emblem he's not too tier in my opinion. He gets demolished by characters like lute micaiah and some other blue tome units. He just has so many counters now so I dont think he's tiptop tier anymore
The only things about this would be to possibly move up Amelia and Winter Robin, getting speed refine on their weapons (and maybe +spd) puts them in a very good spot. Just my opinion though.
oliver doesnt "fight"
he stands there & then people die
After all of this
hector is still #1
Lord Roy Diamond
Quick Repose + Vantage is great
He dies easily to Y.Tiki tho
Kenneth Anderson I mean everything has it's weakness
Not wrong but I think he doesn't deserve the #1 place. Compared to brave Ike that can still take a blow from red units.
Kenneth Anderson Brave Ike doesn’t have DC, Quick Repose+Vantage and the arena points that armors have . Hector also has higher HP and Defense . Not saying BIke is bad but Hector can fill his role decently with urvan like seals with Deflect Magic/Distant Defense 3
Alm being 2 entire tiers below the rest of the Falchion users is ew but the rest of it looks pretty great
celica is better than alm confirmed? (lol)
Alm honestly isn't that good tbh. But to be fair, he's competing with the most inflated section in the game so he's bound to get outperformed.
Alm's stats are too spread out and doesn't excel in any particular area, which is a problem
I'm not trying to say that he's the best Falchion user or anything like that, I know that he's the worst easily. But his stats aren't so drastically awful that he should be THAT far behind the rest.
I agree purely because he has enough hp for panic ploy and has a decent attack stat for a sword unit, run him with sword breaker and heavy blade seal and he actually performs quite well
Fae is the best *green dragon* ever!!!!!1!!1! She has the highest bst out of any *green dragon* !!!!!1!!!1!!
I like the tier list for all things aside for one, why exactly is sothe below the other dagger units?
Damn draug ranked high af
Lammii Balcha For good reason
Eliwood is higher than I expected. This has inspired me to build Eliwood, all I need is a couple Hinatas.
If youve got brave roy, dont bother.
Jeremiah peters nope, Bike was my free CYL hero, and plus he's my only decent red cavalier.
Well there you go, knock yourself out. Having blazing durandal makes him viable, so no objections here.
Is fury better than Death Blow for Eliwood? Mine has DB and he does amazing damage with Astra + Blazing Durandal. Although Fury does sync with desperation and he’s fast with hone cavalry.
Actually eliwood has higher atk than B roy and can take more hits plus he uses blazing durandal a bit better the only reaon he is a teir below roy is because his speed is bad outside of horse emblem
The fact that beruka can kill everything in top tier is funny
The fact that everything can kill everyone in top tier is also funny
You don't really know that res is a thing huh?
Kenneth Anderson Res doesnt matter because beruka is a flier and can easily get out of range of mages
Beruka stay wild
"Thank for waa-" Best line in the video xD
I seem to get good luck with my pulls whenever I complain about not getting a character so, wHy DoN’t I hAvE zElGiUs
Actually NY Corrin with Guard Bow (+Def/Res) with Distant Defense (A Skill) Guard/Bowbreaker/Vantage (B Skill) with a Quick Riposte/Distant Defense (sacred seal) is going to be my new project and I’ll make Corrin S+ tier
been working on mine, so far iv +1d him, gave him a def refined guard bow+, bowbreaker(soon to change it, no bow is going to penetrate him now anyway) and distant def 3 seal, yet to give him a distant def A skill
Santiago Castillo I just finished mine lol, almost same set
Genny less useful than priscilla? *laughs*
{Le} Prisilla is on a horse and has more speed
Good point, Genny's the best fodder healer 😉
Izzym00 yeah she is she naturally comes with Wrathful staff.
{Le} try giving priscilla wrathful staff

With healers it’s basicallly.
Healers on horses.
All the other trash.
Oliver is on a whole diffrent tier list because he deserves it
Yummy tummy nowi will always be tier 1 in my eyes
Ladies and gentlemen, the C O C K has fallen
If teir lists have taught me anything its this no unit is bad its just some start off with more than others
Is it really good when Cordelia/Tana/Ephraim are all in the tier 1 status for lance units while distant counter units like Camus and Fjorm are in tier 3 status? Heck I'd consider Lukas in tier 3 to be a better character than Ephraim.
Kratos Aurion Plays ephraim has far more utility than lukas
Ephraim's weapon when its refined is pretty busted also matched with a heavy blade sacred seal? He's quite good
Oh-ho and huzzah! Winter Tharja is in her rightful spot as top tier red mage
it makes me sad that hinata is higher then male corrin.
i just hope that his weapon refinery makes him very good.
also ive been using ephraim as a tank this whole time and im starting to think im doing it wrong....
The experience with Micaiah is pretty damn good as I build her with memes for double distant def, which gives her 50 Res & 30 Def, basically can tank most mages including green mages with relative ease.

Game press Hass helped me a lot for hero build ideas
If Berkut had Kriemhild, he'd be higher :[
Why is Beruka, aka the secret flying tank, low tier? She can take 0 damage from archers for crying out loud.
She’s a weaker Michalis
Docaccino Give her Bonfire or ignis and a different weapon a nice skill setup that works with her. She becomes a monster.
+Docaccino Uh you might want to recheck beruka solo videos lol! Her ignis is a big story! Rein can't even do shit to her lol
Rein can't do shit? What about literally every other meta Mage ever? (every red Mage, every fast bladetome Mage) and screw it, literally every Mage that has a decent attack stat and that can double beruka will kill her
Lady Caeda That doesn't mean she has stellar res.
Finally a tier list where Est isn't in S tier
I kept thinking we hit the bottom and then you kept scrolling down
Oh how the Cavalry meta has fallen...oh look brave lyn!
The red slots in my armour emblem have changed so much, at first I didn't have a red unit because draug wasn't worth it IMO, then I got zephiel who I used for ages. Then Black Knight came along, and I didn't want to replace zephiel so I kicked Sheena and had two reds for a while. Then Arden comes along and finally kicks zephiel out, I summon a winter Tharja to replace Arden, and I just summoned zelgius who will replace black Knight.
legion and raven are in the same teir damnit.
Divvy Glazed So you have more than one +10 unit? God I’d never even try to get 1
Thats just it at base Legion has better offensive stats, if he is merged just as much as raven with a brave axe he performs better than him
Red Ike is tier one. Fight me.
Emmanuel Willis how? BK is better in general
Narwhals are awesome not so much. They're very similar. And the fact that Ike can merge +10 gives him an edge
Emmanuel Willis So can Zelgius, and he’s pretty much a better BK. Run Vantage and Brash Assault Seal or Deflect Magic, and you have one of the best Sword units. Not to mention: ARMOR BUFFS and BLACK LUNA.
Piccolo well clearly Zelgius and Arya are better than the rest of their tier. That's pretty clear. I'm just saying Ike=BK
Emmanuel Willis BK still gets a slight bump because of armor buffs. That’s why I also mentioned Zelgius, because they’re a few BST away and are almost similar with their weapon and special. Also, Steady stance is good fodder for BK, although his availability does bring him down so I can see that argument.
Sage, what in your opinion is the best build for Fjorm? I really wanna run Sothe, Inigo, Fjorm (mostly for her blessing for Sothe) and Michiah or Ayra or BIke. My horse team has dominated too long and i really want to plow through content with a new team. Any advice?
I use this list for some builds and it’s pretty good
I feel like the healers are off but yeah I could agree, but in the end I don't care about tier lists, I play to collect and use the characters I like.
I feel like once you see my Clive you'd say he's tier 4 instead of tier 5.
50 hp 56 atk 33 spd 27 def 14 res. With lancebreaker and threaten def (and L&D3/Atk+2 seal/speed refined silver lance+). I also use pavise because that tends to save his ass way more often than escutcheon, in my experience.
Funny thing is, I knock Hector to floor pretty easily, but Christmas Tharja gives me some trouble.... same with Nowi
Speaking about lists... when is show me your builds is coming back? :3
Thanks Sages for saying that tier lists are just opinions. I use my +Atk Laslow and he does a very nice job with a good build! I really love a lot of characters who in Fire Emblem Heroes... didn’t get the best stats haha
My teir list: everyone is good with enough work
I hope Gamepress will update their Emblem-based tier lists.
Honestly the only problem I see is placing Flying Azura over Axura. That free buff Axe and access WoM with it definately is equal if not greater to simply being a flier. Nice list overall though.
Lmao I'm using all tier three units besides PA!Azura, yet I sweep the arena pretty well. It's NY!Takumi, Fjorm, Arvis and PA!Azura. When doing arena runs, however, I switch Arvis around with whatever bonus unit is needed, since he's best used for things like Tempest Trial.
>Reinhardt not tier 1
If you want to out power creep the power creep, take off your helmet
Tier lists from websites are always bad, this one is no exception. The fact that Hector is still up there proves this
The Silent Protagonist what’s so bad about hector? He’s still an amazing character
My only question is why is faye in tier 3? I don't remember her stats being too good besides her defenses. Otherwise this looks pretty much perfect
Gamepress was always the superior source to the wiki. This has remained evident throughout the history of the game ever since the end of Takumi's reign. Yes, despite the fact that just now, I looked up Hector and realised that the optimal build they had for him used Armads with the QR seal, I still regard them as more credible.
(But seriously, that was a goof if ever I saw one.)
Honestly this list is fine but I would move both the base Robins up by at least one
Alm is about to go up at least 3 tiers
Nephenee isn’t at the top so this tier list is automatically bad
Dreddick123 Absolutely. As inheritance and as a unit Neph is great meaning this tier list fails on all accounts.
Nephenee? More like Wrath 3 fodder.
Paladin Grandma Clearly you havent seen her with speed refinement, 41 spd and 42 def thats an insanely busted unit
Deathstar 699 *laughs in Quick Riposte Lukas*
Paladin Grandma *Gets sneezed on by nino and dies*
Fjorm is good on offense arena but terrible at defense, ANY axe can have a easy time on her taking sometimes 0 damage since her attack is so low
Sleeping Troubles Yes but fjorm is still a good mixed tank meaning with the right special she is effective and only brave axe units can one round her
I think a good way to show power creep is wolf tomes vs Thani
RIP Jaffar.
Lies, beruka is better than bottom tier
i like how 3 of my main units are listed as tier 4 and the only one thats higher is azura cause dancer lol
The concerning thing is that most of the Top teir units are seasonal and they are limited and hard to pull.
It bothers me that except for Ephraim all of the characters that got buffs to their weapons feel like they have been ignored.
I have all but one of this lists tier one.
Christmas chrom is hector but better in every way.
People are just having month 1 PTSD about Hector.
Yeah, about Def Ploy.
Since this is an SI tier list I’m confused on how Beruka is so low.
Hector, Y! Tiki, Nowi, Fae, and Cordelia are the only tier 1 launch units
I suddenly disagree with a lot of tier 5 units, some of them can actually be pretty good, given the right factors and boons.
Just like always, the units I really want are higher than the units I actually want
And then the units I DESPISE are even higher
You're welcome Sages for wa-
oliver needs a base 60 attack
Ugh cmon people. Hector is not the best green unit. He can't be when Dorcas, Brave Ike, and Amelia exist. Also, I don't agree about Elincia being higher than Ike and Ryoma. I also disagree with Nowi's placement.
Saying "over there" with no pointing or circling is the stupidest thing you can do when showing people something.
Ah I remember those days Eirika was at the top of the tier now she is like on the bottom
