Hanes Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Rebecca is a very controversial unit, some people praise her and others despise her, I decided I wanted to experiment and start a new playthrough and report the events of every chapter alongside her level ups in screenshot manner. Let's start with her statistics which are the following: Base Stats Growth Rates Promotion Gains Level: 1 HP: 17 HP: 60% HP: +4 Strength: 4 Strength: 40% Strength: +3 Skill: 5 Skill: 50% Skill: +1 Speed: 6 Speed: 60% Speed: +1 Luck: 4 Luck: 50% Defense: 3 Defense: 15% Defense: +2 Resistance: 1 Resistance: 30% Resistance: +2 Constitution: 5 Constitution: +1 Movement: 5 Movement: +1 Promotion Averages 10/1 15/1 20/1 HP 26 29 32 Strength 10 12 14 Skill 10 13 15 Speed 12 15 18 Luck 8 11 13 Defense 6 7 7 Resistance 5 7 8 Alright, down below will be the progression of every chapter.

Nobody Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Of course she's viable. There's a huge gap between being viable and good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanes Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Chapter 11: Taking leave. Obviosuly this wasn't hard but I did have to modify my usual approach to give Rebecca some kills. Well, there's no denying that at first you will have to baby her. First level up, at least I got strength. Oh come on, don't do this to me! Guess Lowen doesn't want to share the EXP with Rebecca, you capitalist pig! To die by Rebecca...lol n00b. The flashy colors give me dopamine, however, those stats should have been her level 1 stats. This screenshot because if i don't put it people will beg for it. Rebecca's performance: 1.5/10 Edited June 15, 2018 by This boi uses Nino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Roger The Paladin Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Literally anyone's viable in FE7. It's just with characters like Isadora, Rebecca, Erk and Wallace better options stare you in the face and ask "why didn't you use me instead?". If I could get away with using Dorcas, Wil and Erk to endgame in my first run through the game (my first attempt at the series at that) I'm sure it speaks about viability when none of them are considered great (Erk more due to Pent being immune to RNG screwing) To say Rebecca's good is another story. This is a game where archers are at their worst, having been downgraded from triple damage to flying units to a mere double. I have little doubt you could achieve it. Especially if you make use of her supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldhand25 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Actually I used Rebecca all the time when I played the game, though always in normal mode. As archers are probably my favourite unit type in the games, I always use at least one archer the whole game, and in 7 it is Rebecca. She is definitely viable, and I found her good enough to be able to tackle every challenge I gave her, but I think it depends on the player's playstyle. I like to play slowly, thinking turns in advance, so it's easy for me to use her, but it might be hard if you want to finish the chapters as fast as possible.

Dark Holy Elf Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 As someone who argued against the worthiness of Rebecca in the other thread... Of course she's viable. In fact, one of my fond memories of FE7 is building a Rebecca who had >50 avoid against the Dragon; for a good while my suspend state on my GBA cart was of the dragon attacking her, her dodging, and countering for the kill. She just goes through an extended period where it takes more work to get her exp than it does for other options, and the payoff is hardly peerless (for instance, super dodge tank Rebecca can be mimicked by super dodge tanks who actually can counter at melee and/or fly, etc.).

MacLovin Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 it's not that she's unusable, but rather that she takes a crapton of resources, time, and doesn't have as good of a payoff in comparison to any other bow user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamanoir Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I also don't seem to be able to see the images. There's a mssage error from Gmail. soemthing about mail attachment... The question is actually more : are Archers viable in this game . Rebecca is probably the best archer/Bow user in the game. Especially if you don't use Lyn's mode. She have excellent availabilty (Only beaten by WIll if you use Lyn's Mode). Though, she doesn't really have any strong opposition. Lyn Mode! Will is debatable (he have Str but less speed, and higher HP and Dfence (not an issue outside of Ballistas). Rath is great, but he reappears a little too late. All of them will requires some "babying" obviously, and will requires to adapt your play for them; but that's the case for most of the cast honnestly.. Someone who uses Nino should understand this very well. (I used Nino in all my FE7 Playthrough, and she was awesome. But it's absolutely non-efficient.). She's here from the start, and her stats are the right one for FE7 : good speed; and luck, giving her a nice Avo (and in the GBA games Avo is incredibly broken.), and her res is good enough to allow her to avoid status staves. She doesn't really care about lacking defence or even HP, since it should never really be an issue for her. And she may also lack strength, but that's a common problem for most archers, and she gets a decent +3 Attack boost by promoting. She's probably not top tier by any means, but she's perfectly fine.

Hanes Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Chapter 12: Birds of a Feather. The only real challenge in this level is the boss and making sure you set up the boss kill correctly for Rebecca. i really want to know who made this name. I changed the anmations to 1 so you guys can see where I am in the map. Typical 1st turn, only this time Rebecca isn't at the back I learned my lesson Fort, 4% hit is worth less than 4000 gold Lowen, what's up with you? You're very crit heavy so far. Introducing: Hector Comethand! Doubling in Eliwood Hard at base, he is Hector Comethand for a reason! Rebecca: I... can't believe this... but...I'll do my best! One Iron Bow good sir. I, Rebecca, tire of these childish games, today you meet my fury, oh godess naga give me strength to teach this fool a lesson...Comet! Rebecca: Hehe, is this good for you sir? Me: How... how is this possible? *Ahem* This chapter was cleared in 8 turns. The enemy alive is there so I can screenshot before finishing the Rout chapter.

Dark Holy Elf Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 This is the problem with doing these sorts of things as an experiment; if the character gets wildly different from average stats you don't actually learn anything about her performance. It's even more swingy with speed, for instance: a Bartre who is +2 or -2 speed from average by Level 10 will have crazy different performance. I really wish all FEs had a fixed mode option for science, even though I enjoy RNG growths most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if I can I will have to stop focusing mainly on her since that is what I'm doing, nonetheless, it's so she doesn''t become a nuisance later on, as for Chapter 23x, I believe I will have to arena abuse Florina (Not Rebecca, I'm trying to show her performance during the game with stat boosters thrown in whenever a stat deviates too much from the expected like what is happening with speed right now *sigh*) So I can rescue Pent and not kill myself and Chapter 24 will also require me to arena abuse Eliwood and, very carefully, some for Lyn; Hector will level up normally since he is useful, I know I said in another post that i prefer the Lloyd version but to be honest I've never played it so ***Exposed*** and I also think Linus' version of Chapter 24 is more "Friendly" to Rebecca who is supposed to be "The star of the team" or at least be useful with the criteria afore mentioned.
