FluffyWarlock Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Which MU class would be best for a first playthrough at this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koumal8 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 On what difficulty will you be playing? I know many experienced players recommend Fighter!MUs (even though I'm not really sure why) but Dracoknights are also amazing in this game so you might want to go for a class that belongs in set A, that is Cavalier-Mage-Curate-Myrmidon-Archer; in that case Cavalier is probably the best to build your Lance weapon rank and for the increased mobility. Personally I found the game plenty manageable back when I first played on the easiest difficulty with a Mage!MU (I find the mages in this game pretty underwhelming, but what do I know?)

I plan on playing in Normal, most likely. Also, I'm certain people prefer Fighter!MU because people think MU is the best axe user in the game. That, or because it grants you Pirate/Berserker as a reclass option. I'm tempted to go with a Female Mage!MU because of Nosferatu, but I'm having second thoughts, hence the topic.

Moblin Major General Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I would stay with that, that sounds pretty good, although if you didn't feel like using Linde, you could easily reach B Tomes and use Aura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Anything, really. The MU does every class better than everyone else. Other than that, I guess the one unique thing a MU has is having high magic in physical classes and high strenght in magic classes, so that would make a pretty good Levin Sword Myrmidon>Swordmaster.

X-Naut Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Fighter is recommended mainly because axes are the worst represented weapon type early on; you get plenty of lance, sword and bow users, tomes aren't that high-demand until later, and the base clerics do staffs best. Barst is the first "good" axe user you get and he's a little behind when he joins without statboosters and a Pirate reclass. And while they're never in high demand themselves, axes are a very good weapon type early on since the only common sword enemies are Cavaliers, Thieves, and Astram's Hero squad. It also transitions beautifully into a Dracoknight reclass on promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'd need to beat the game on Hard mode, at least, to access the Dracoknight reclass as a Fighter, which is the problem. Besides, I don't think Warrior can be considered a good class to end up on. I mean, yes, you can use bows, but... Anyway, how good are dracoknights in this game?

Being a flying Hammer is really helpful on a couple of the later maps. They also get lance access, for Dragonpike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get a feel for what's going on, and FE12 has weird pacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moblin Major General Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It would be easier if you went Fighter>Pirate>Berserker, as your MU is probably going to have much higher skill than the other Berserker you get in Darros (all the way at Chapter 12). Sure, you won't be able to reclass until Chapter 1, but there isn't much difference in Fighters and Pirates, but there is for Berserkers. Berserkers are faster than most of their WTA (except Falcoknights, but they're only a promo option for your Pegasus Knights). The only reason to choose Warrior is if you have some real problems dealing with Wyverns (and there is a good chance you will, or you might).

Tetragrammaton Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I'm just start to play this game, and I'm at chapter 8. MU is a Mercenary and I reclass him to Knight when his speed is capped. He's too good that I'm not sure if I should train Barst and Draug any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirmola Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I actualy liked fighter->hero when i did it. That way, you only have to get one weapon rank, and you can start using all of the c rank swords (especialy wyrmslayer). Heroes also have really good base stats. I unfortionatly don't remember what past, present, and future i used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irysa Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Fighter!MU without unlocked Class Sets is awful because you can't go Dracoknight. Edited July 12, 2017 by Irysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffyWarlock Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Is this fortune loadout a good one for a Berserker!MU? Clergy (+2 Def), Beautiful (+1/10% Skl and Spd), and Enlightened (+30% HP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That looks like a good spread. Go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
