Interesting facts about Cormag: #1. He and Glen are similar to the Reed brothers, Lloyd and Linus, from FE7. Both brothers working under a corrupted leader, one of the two brothers is killed by their own ally, who then frames the opposition. The other brother pursues revenge as a result. Difference between the wyvern brothers and Reed brothers is that Cormag is the only unit who joins the player's party after learning the truth of his brother's murderer. #2. Cormag and Raven from FE7 share the same growth rates. Also, sorry for writing too much for you to read.
It's never too much to read, I love reading. I might not even know about the identical growth rates between Cormag and Raven if you didn't leave a comment, so thanks for sharing too.
Your Knoll's combat is great due to the level ups, he is actually quite average in combat in reality. Can't deny about his awesome summons though. If I were blessed with near perfect level ups for him, or in fact, anyone, I would use them every single time too.
@@artem8793 I also used Knoll because I liked him as a character, and his summons saved me far more times than I can count. I wouldn’t say he’s good as Sophia, but hey, he at least has more reasons to use him than Sophia.
@@gurucheeks4510 Yeah, I had to use Flux tomes on him to make him viable, and that was even after him leveling up skill 10 levels in a row! (I’m not kidding. He leveled skill 10 flipping times) In the end, though, his summons are so good that they even got some kills once in awhile.
Dussel doesnt join late if you play ephraim route he joins in the second chapter in his route split. The only time he has late recruitment is in eirika's route
@@regalblade8171 Duessel is a beast in Ephraim's route, with the only thing that's holding him back is his 6 Mov. But the biggest annoyance is that Ephraim's route is stupidly annoying.

It's really a shame that you wont see much dark magic used in fe8 Knoll just doesn't have the bases and safety to grow to become a good dark mage Ewan has way worse bases... Obviously not counting the tower
Great stuff as always my dude but i have to disagree on your comments about Duessel: While what you say does stand true to vanilla Eirika routes his Ephraim join time comes right around the corner of the dreaded ghost ship, add that to the overall earlier join time and Duessel gets some really good mileage. His speed isn't really an issue most of the time either he can hit hard just fine and you can easily use another unit to kill a fast enemy to open way for him if necessary. His real problem is his move, prevents him from becoming better at rescuing and getting to the front lines with him takes a few extra turns, however the boots on the desert can remedy the issue if you want to use him, though until then his issues stand, honestly if FE8 was harder he would be much better since less units would be viable on certain scenarios, a shame really. Overrall though he performs just fine, much more worth using than say Forde or Amelia for instance (So long as there is no tower of course)
Why would anyone give boots to Duessel when you can have a 10-movement Seth? His end-game stats are better than Duessel's too (everything higher except HP/DEF). No point wasting the only set of boots to a unit with very little returns for the long run. Giving it to Franz (even as a Great Knight) is still a much better choice than Duessel himself. The only thing that Duessel has over anyone in the game is just his superior DEF stat, which allows him to serve well as a meatshield for your other long-term units.
The boots idea is only if the player desires to make him a long term to compensate for his move while still making use of his mounted utility. Yeah inferior to Seth and Franz whatever, this isn't the point, This is about using Duessel as a unit and not comparing him to the obviously superior mounted units that can use the boots more effectively if thats what the player desires. In the short run, Duessel excel in choking points effectively while still damaging enemies quite a bit and aiding on rescue dropping albeit, on a class with lower move. Should the player decide to invest on Duessel in the long run but not use the boots to remedy his biggest problem then they should consider fielding him together with Tethys who can help Duessel reach the frontlines faster where he's as effective as any general but with better move and rescue drop utility here and there. All i'm saying is, it's not hard to fit Duessel on a team comp, he's much more than a meatshield, he can be as effective as any unit.
The point is that using Boots is already not really a good argument, that's like me saying Forde is better if I can give him Energy Rings to fix his base Str. Duessel's base class is already at the middling status where he performs worse than Paladins at movement/rescuing or against Generals at combat/tanking. Using Boots on a Great Knight then say he performs as well as a Paladin just doesn't seem right to me, since I can also use your logic on Forde too, giving him all the other statboosters to fix his weaknesses. Also, isn't it double standards when you compare Duessel to inferior units like Amelia, but don't allow me to compare him with a superior unit like Seth? I mean, you have to compare him with all the horse units if you want to be fair, not just make him look good against the bad ones. Rescue/dropping tactics just isn't for him, his Con is too high, while movement too low, we have lots of 8-move mounted units for that. Like I said, Duessel's best selling point is his high DEF, he is like a mounted General. Tanking physical hits is still his forte. Anything else, I can easily name someone who can perform better.
I mean i guess you got me with the boots but i've never said he performs as well as a paladin, far from it. All i said is that he doesn't need that much investment to be used but if the player wants to remedy his biggest flaw they have an option, that's it. And about the comparison, the only reason i mention weaker units at all is basically to counter the "use as meat shield for the trainees" by basically saying "Why field a much weaker unit in the first place?" like, if a unit is so bad to the point of needing a meat shield to be trained in the first place, why bother? Training end game units on FE8? Overkill if you ask me. The reason i feel comparing to Seth or Franz is due to the fact that it implies "This unit performs better than Duessel so i won't ever field Duessel and only use this unit" you know the "One of every class" shenanigans? You probably didn't mean that but it still felt unfair in the context of talking about Duessel's performance individually. Fair point on rescue dropping when it comes to his con tho, kinda forgot that tbh lol, but still, he can help when it comes to lighter units, so it's something over a foot unit. Yeah there are units that can perform better of course, this isn't "10 reasons you should field Duessel instead of THIS unit" but more of a "Is Duessel worth fielding? Let us see" Alas we can agree to disagree on this one i suppose.
Now that you state your original topic for the argument, I can see where you are coming from. Duessel is usable but he still doesn't seem to have anything going for him because there is too much competition. The only thing that no one can outmatch him is that he can take physical hits without prior training, and it can even last till end-game. However, the same thing couldn't be said for his speed, that's why for my reasoning for his role for shielding others so that they can get stronger. I misunderstood your standpoint because you initially gave me the impression that you just wanted Duessel to look better than another unit due to that Boots comparison. Well, at least I understand now.
Even Natasha is from Grado too, just that I can't really find the words for the connection between this team so I went for their only similarity, Grado.
