The first time I played the game, on Normal/Casual, It went something like this: Chrom: had to use throughout the game, even when Lucina became superior. Couldn't bench, except on random encounters Avatar/Robin: Benched as soon as I got my first mage, Miriel. I wanted some variety, and the role of 'tactician' struck me as jack-of-all-trades. Lissa: benched as soon as I got Maribelle due to higher movement Frederick: I avoid Jeigan units like the Plague, so I stopped using him after the first few missions Sully: It was a choice between her and stahl. I ended up choosing Stahl because I was gravitating towards sword users, so she got the bench. Virion: stuck around to the end, if only because he was my only dedicated archer Stahl: stayed to the end. Was a solid character overall. Not much else to say Vaike: stayed around until shortly after I got Libra, then the bench. Miriel: permanent member. Was decent mage Sumia: Stayed. Chrom rode her every chance he got (and enjoyed it, since she became his wife) and she was a force to be reckoned with. Donnel: stuck to the end because I thought he would be a prodigy. Instead, I ended up with a level 30 villager that was good, but not great. Lon Qu: I would have been crazy not to keep this guy around through the entire game Ricken: was underleveled by the time I tried using him and didn't bother. benched. Maribelle: became my main healer after Lissa until Libra came along. Gaius: used him a grand total of one or two times, then Anna came and...you guessed it, bench. Panne: stayed for a while until it got crowded with Sayri, then got benched. Cordelia: used alongside Sumia for a few maps with mobility issues, but then got benched. Gregor: got benched from the start since I already had enough good sword users. Nowi: stuck to the end, to my regret. Her damage and hit rate was crappy in the late game. mainly served as a support unit. Libra: stayed to the end. Healing and decent fighting ability, not much more to ask for. Tharja: started off iffy due to poor skill and luck, but with patience (and lots of money spent improving Ruin) surpassed Miriel. Stuck it out to the end. Anna: was a OMGWTFBBQ unit when first obtained but was mainly used as my thief and secondary healer later in the game. was used intermittently. Olivia: didn't use often due struggling to keep up with the party Cherche: became my official flying unit #2. Was erratic in terms of usefulness. Got KO'ed alot because I forget that DEF is not the same as MDEF Henry: Didn't feel like building him up, so benched. Say'ri: stayed to the end, but I wonder if that was wise. Was ok, but nowhere near as powerful as Lon Qu. Lucina: Took the effort to train her and boy was it worth it. Became one of my strongest units. Made Chrom look mediocre. Flavia: Didn't use Basilio: became my archer number 2. Since I paid little attention to the support system, I didn't obtain any of the children except Lucina (with B-level Chrom/Sumia) and Cynthia (who I didn't feel like training) What stuff did I do to make you veterans face palm, besides not getting most of the offspring?
