Baldrick Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Including Jamka and Levin with critical, that's six units with better offense than Sigurd without resources. That's a fair chunk of your combat units; don't underestimate the effect Critical/Hero weapons and rings have on Sigurd's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Including Jamka and Levin with critical, that's six units with better offense than Sigurd without resources. That's a fair chunk of your combat units; don't underestimate the effect Critical/Hero weapons and rings have on Sigurd's performance.True, but does that not still make him the greatest lord? He can still ORKO everything else reliably with his Silver Sword without needing any resources, and even against armors the only reliable killer is Fin, who'll take a counter most likely. Cuan and Levin need adept procs, and Holyn needs double Luna, which is extremely rare. Against the non-armors, Sigurd is still a god. Not mentioning that he has a mount, making Fin his only competition, but he leaves early, and doesn't completely roflstomp the prologue (he does so with chapter one but that requires a steel Lance which can be used on Sigurd too.)

Baldrick Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 The chances may be low, but it's higher than Sigurd's 0% (without a 50-kill sword). In any case, being good at killing generics isn't why people say Sigurd is so great. If he could trivialise the first two chapters, then fell off after that, he wouldn't be called the greatest lord in the series. Sigurd isn't a god unless you use him properly; it's not hard to do, but you still need to know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKSlowpoke Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Roy! Roy!Did you ACTUALLY take that seriously? Shame on you!Anyway, that honor would probably go to Ike or Hector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerVZ Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Didn't play Genealogy or Thracia neither, so imo Hector is the best Lord ever in terms of growths, bases and he gains access to swords as a Great Lord, he's pretty much invincible, and even harder difficulty ennemies may struggle fighting him !

Art3mis Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I haven't played that many FE titles sadly, however my heart will forever be partial to the lord of Ostia from FE7, Hector. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augestein Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) In terms of gameplay, I'm giving it to Corrin. (S)he can be pretty much any class you want outside of beast classes and "dancers" so that's pretty good in my eyes. what is using him "properly"????How do you use him "improperly"? Just don't have him move and kill things? Obviously that's leaving him in a castle and only seizing with him for using him improperly. I really don't know. I mean I just gave Siggy a weapon and a javalin for when he needed it and pretty much just let him go to town. He's easily your best unit all around in the first gen.

shadowofchaos Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Lyn. She was a god in my Binding Blade game.Since when was Lyn in FE6?Also, a squishy avoid based Swordmaster lord whose relevance tapers off after Chapter 10 doesn't seem like a pretty great candidate for "the best lord in Fire Emblem". Her beginnings feels more like a Gaiden than a main plot point. She isn't even guaranteed to be a good unit average wise. Her animations are cool, I'll give her that much.

As much as I love the series I confuse the games sometimes. As for her avoid basis that was one of her most useful features in my games. and as a blade lord, i ended up using her as a castle clearer and tanking the occasional level with her.

JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Its an objective fact that if every Lord fought each other with their signature weapon, Ike and Roy is the only one with chance of winning so Ike is the best by process of elimination Lul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 what is using him "properly"???? How do you use him "improperly"? Just don't have him move and kill things? Confession time: I had Sigurd pawn off his Silver Sword, so that Ethlyn could buy it. I figured Siggy already had a pretty good Steel Sword, and Ethlyn's Slim Sword just wasn't cutting it (hah). I also didn't discover the Arena's existence until well into the second generation. So, where Sigurd could have been a horse god, he wound up being just... pretty good. And his son came across a fair disappointment. Next time, Seliph, you'll get the inheritance you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkarian Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Obviously Sigurd for reasons have already been said but i would like to give a shout-out to Marth from FE 1 seeing as how the enemies in that game are ridiculously weak and over half of them die in one-round thanks to the rapier which is a common weapon in armories. On top of that even if a character is in lethal HP range enemies will always go for Marth. He has thief utility via the fire emblem and Mercurius bascially gives Marth Paragon on top of having crazy Might and peing PRF ranked to Marth (if memory is accurate). On top of that Marth get's the Falchion which makes him invunerable to any enemy that isn't a manakete, which speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that Marth get's the Falchion which makes him invunerable to any enemy that isn't a manakete, which speaks for itself. True. FE 1 Marth is pretty good. Anyone who has soloed the first generation of FE 4 can tell who the best lord is, in terms of gameplay. Ike may be incredibly strong, but I don't think it is fair to... say, uh... Put all the lords in an arena, and see who would win. Deciding the better character from different games is mostly based on what game they come from, how the game's mechanics favor that character or the resources available to said character. And in that case, Sigurd is still the MVP of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInternetExplorer Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I always found it ironic that the "strongest FE lord" was the only to job in his own game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Trying to put together a tier list of the lords from a gameplay perspective, how does this look? (Sothe, Robin and Chris all being excluded). Assumes no grind efficiency, highest difficulty unless the highest is absurd (a.k.a. FE11 Merciless and FE12 & 13 Lunatic). Top: Sigurd Alm 2 Seliph High: Corrin Rev. Marth 1 Corrin CQ Ike 10 Chrom Upper Mid: Corrin BR Hector (Hector Mode) Ephraim (Ephraim Route) Ike 9 Celica 2 Lower Mid: Marth 3B2 Marth 3B1 Marth 12 Leif Marth 11 Low: Lyn (EM or HM- it doesn't matter) Eirika (Eirika Route) Micaiah Eliwood (Eliwood Mode) Bottom: Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ae†her Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) This should be a pinned topic with a poll because it's got to be the one of the most asked and debated topics in FE. Edit: Nevermind it's starred. Edited May 20, 2017 by Altina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
