Yeah, there are not a lot of options here. But this was next on my list, so let's get it done! Personally, I don't use any of these characters all that much. Except for Rath, but that's mostly just to build his support with Lyn Wil and Rebecca are both better anyway. In terms of character, they all seem pretty similar to me, and as units...well like I said, Rath is really the only one I use. He usually turns out good, so there's that I guess. So, I guess my favorite is Rath!

 

Next up on the list is Bard/Dancers. After that, Trainees. And then finally...Manaketes. 

 

NOTE:

 

1: A character's starting class determines which list they go on. For prepromotes, what would have been their starting class in their game determines which list they go on. For example, Renault is a Bishop, but his starting class would have been a Monk if he wasn't a prepromote, so he goes on the Monk/Bishop list. Yodel, on the other hand, goes on the Priest/Cleric/Bishop list, he is a Bishop but in Binding Blade Monk was not a class so his starting class would have been a Priest.

 

2: If a character is not playable in the main story, they are not included.

Shin has amazing bases and growths and a horse and he's in a game where bows don't completely suck ass, so he's my pick. Sue and Dayan are ok. I actually like Dayan, although he has the problem of only being accessible in Sacae, which means you've likely been using Shin who's is practically guaranteed to be better than Dayan by the time he's recruited if that's the case. Dayan can use Killing Edges though I guess.

Rath is pretty sweet, even if he does join a bit late. He wishes he were in a game where bows were more useful though. He's leagues better than scrubs like Wil and Rebecca at least, and unlike Sue or Shin, he might even be able to use swords other than iron at some point. Probably only in a draft though.

The Nomadic Trooper sword crit is the best crit animation in the GBA games by far, just for the record.

Rath. His backstory is good, I like his personality, he might be a bit hurt by the fact that he joins a bit late but he's still a good unit and I like his supports. I also think his design is good so yeah. Rath is my favorite.

Rath.(Really my only option)I always loved Rath, 5th favorite FE male of mine.I really like him and I just love his back story and stuff.I really don't know what else to say.

Rath's later joining time does hurt him a bit, but if you got him a level or two in Lyn Mode then he'd be around the same level as Heath, so it's not that bad right?

Does Rath's backstory ever gets expanded upon outside of his supports? I can't remember ever really hearing about it outside of that.

Shin is without a doubt the one with the best stats but honestly all their personalities are sort of boring. I prefer Rath's design so I voted for him.

Shin, pretty good offense on HM and can make surprisingly good use of swords too with a bit of work on sword rank. 55-75 disp hit against bosses (depending on their weapon/class) is pretty good by FE6 standards too when good bosskilling weapons are at hand. He also has high HP to make up for his middling def.

I like all four nomads though.

Dayan. Mustache power! Also, yeah all the nomads are rather bland, with the most interesting being Uhai. Not really a good sign when a boss who appears in a single chapter has more personality than all four playable characters. Damn shame, since I love mounted archers and really dig Sacae's Mongolian aesthetic.

Isn't Sacae based off of Native American cultures though?

i always thought it was based on Mongolia. Googling Mongolia you see a lot of stuff that looks similar to Sacae. The plains are really similar and the fact that there are a lot of nomadic people in mongolia also makes them very alike. Edited by Nobody

Sue is a boss! I always use her in FE6 and I just prefer her over Shin. I could probably send her on her own if in the right situation. Rath has always been a cool guy and I like him, but I prefer archers as a whole more over Nomads and Rath just never really did it for me.

It wasn't till Awakening when I liked using Nomands/Troopers a lot more (Noire is the best...nuff said...).

However, in Sue's case, I like her a lot.

Rath > Sue > The Silver Wolf

Unranked: Shin Monshou no Nazo

I'm gonna go with Rath. I like his personality, he's always turned out pretty good for me, and he can marry Lyn. He's got pretty much the best movement of any non-flying unit in the game, he's good with a bow, and his promotion gives him a melee option. Although, I guess that's true of every Nomad/Trooper.

Sue ended up pretty good from start to finish, when I used her in FE6. That said, you have options for mounted archers in Roy's story, making her less unique than Rath.

I took the Sacae path, so I had a chance to use Dayan. He was pretty underwhelming, if I remember right.

Never used Shin, so I can't rank him, but I've heard good things.

I never used Rath much and he was forgettable for me. Sue on the other hand was much more useful and versatile for me. It helps that she got really good growths in all of my runs.

I had to vote for Shin, just because he's so incredibly good (for a bow user at least) Fe6 hard mode bonuses are beyond comprehension, and it definitely shows with Shin. None of the other bowmen come close to him.
