#fire emblem classes

[zyphemblem]

ok i've been thinking this over for a while and i can't decide. obviously all pegasus classes are female only, so male units can't use them. but what about non-binary people? can all they all ride pegasi? can none of them ride pegasi? does it depend on biological gender (yes that is different from your gender identity im still biological female even if i identify as non-binary this is not up for debate and not what the post is about don't argue about it)? i wanna know what other people think about this.

how do pegasi work for non-binary people?

all non-binary people can ride them

no non-binary people can ride them

only non-binary people who are biologically female can ride them

other (comment pls)

I’ve been playing a lot of Fire Emblem lately so here’s a combination of the Grandmaster Tactician class’s outfit and the outfit of my favourite class, the Dread Fighter (specifically the Echoes Version)

RPG Saiyuki Verse: Escort

Ok. So I just did a character trope quiz thing and one of the questions was what rpg class you’d be. And I stared at the list and my eyes zeroed in on cleric. I mean it. Like one instant there’s a list then BAM all I see is cleric. And my brain just started feeding me images of Sanzo as this unholy cranky cleric (actually I thought of Serra from Fire Emblem Blazing Sword a bit during this lol) and I was like YES. I made myself read the list, but it was a mote point.

And now, now I cannot get rid of Sanzo the Cleric imaginings. 

Thus, continuing off the Fire Emblem inspiration: 

Goku is a laguz (Fire Emblem Path of Radiance) but a monkey class (because) Gojyo is a Spear Fighter (Fates) (lance) Hakkai is an Onymoji (Fates) (scrolls and staffs) Sanzo as a Cleric because monk wasn’t an option on the list Monk (Blazing Sword Style monk though, lol. Because those robes.) (Hakuryuu is a dragon but doesn’t really make an appearance lol)

And yes, I did borrow, heavily, from Serra and Erk’s dialogue when we’re first introduced to them in Blazing Sword.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gojyo: I think ya’ll be fine on your own from here. Sanzo: What’s that supposed to mean, exactly? Hakkai: Now, now, Gojyo. Gojyo: Oh, c’mon! We heard some holy monk needed an escort. Sanzo: Your point? //grits teeth  Gojyo: Well, you’re. . .you. Sanzo: And? Gojyo: //throws up hands. For the love of—Look, even the most hardened criminal would flee in terror after five minutes in your company. Sanzo: Do you want to die? Hakkai: At this rate none of our nerves will survive the journey ^^” Goku: What are ya’ll mumbling ‘bout? You guys are so glooooomy! Hm? Something’s happen’ over there, let’s go see what’s up! Hakkai: Goku! Sanzo and Gojyo: Dumb chimp. Hakkai: The first sign of trouble and he jumps right in. . . . //sigh Goku: Hey! There’s some bandits fighting Kou and Yaone! Oh, and Lirin! Dokugakuji too. . . . Hakkai: What? -Goku and Hakkai run off-

Sanzo: I am not running after you fools.

Lirin: OH!! It’s baldy monk!! -bandits look over-

Youkai: Well, well, it’s a Sanzo too! Think of how much he’ll fetch~ Must be our lucky day. Sanzo: Damnit. //turns to Gojyo. Oi, you! Gojyo: What th— Hey wait! Keep your voice down! Don’t draw attention to me! Sanzo: Make yourself yourself you shitty kappa. Gojyo: Oh no you don’t. You can count me out of this, your holiness. Youkai: Eh? You in league with that devil-monk? Gojyo: Aw, damnit. Youkai: We’ll take care of you in one stroke!

-fight ensues-

Goku: Woah! Hey, you guys ok? Gojyo: You’re late, dumbass! Hakkai: Our apologies~  Sanzo: Hmph.

-Lirin appears-

Lirin: Hm? Why are ya guys fighting bandits too? Hakkai: Ah . . . it just happened. Sanzo: ‘che. That’s not true. Those bandits only saw us because of you. You got us into a shit situation. Now get us out of it. Hakkai: Really, if Goku wasn’t so troublesome, we probably could have escaped notice. In any case, don’t worry about us. Lirin: If we’re fightin’ the same guys anyway, shouldn’t we jes’ team up? Hakkai: I suppose that is a good idea, it would go faster. . . . Sanzo: Hn. Oi, shitty kappa, go help out. Gojyo: WHA— Lirin: Yay! Sanzo: You’re my goddamn escort, so go make yourself useful and fight. Gojyo: Fuckin’ shitty monk

Sanzo to Tactician: Oi. Move me over there. I’m a monk, I use light magic. ‘che. Why are you looking at me like that? You going to direct me or what? 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was going to do more of an original thing. But I reread the script for this chapter in Blazing Sword and I had forgotten how much I loved it, it’s hilarious. So it turned into this weird thing instead.

In any case, hope you enjoyed~

Since I enjoy all of your ideas, lol: @fearbehindasmile

Well, I can already tell that you didn’t read my fanfic, which is what this ask was based on, more so than the Mario series as a whole. Otherwise, you’d know that Wario and Waluigi are not in it.

Furthermore, the use of spells is prominent in my stories, because fantasy shenanigans. Both Mario and Bowser are capable of using such. And if you’re the same Anon that told me there are more FE classes, then I’ll assume you would have taken stock of better selections for Mario that better fit this difference in the story. Hero would be his usual depiction, but certainly not in the fanfic.

Luigi is strong, but Warrior most certainly seems off the mark for him. If I understand correctly, that class favors Strength and Health attributes, while neglecting Magic, Resistance, and most importantly, Luck. The latter two, I feel, characterize Luigi a lot better than just Strength, as he is typically the weaker of the Mario Bros. Something that inclines him more toward the Skill stat would make more sense, I’d wager. Warrior features both Strength and Skill, but definitely neglects Luigi’s reliance toward uncanny abilities.

Finally, I did explain in the previous post that I don’t have the knowledge of the Fire Emblem series at my beck and call. Baron, as it sounds, would certainly fit Bowser traditionally. 

These are cool ideas, and I do like how people can match the Mario franchise characters to Fire Emblem so readily. However, I was aiming to answer the question based on my fanfic, which, while it does try to capture the same personalities and quirks of the characters, it doesn’t completely and they have both physical and personal characteristics that are different.

All in all, good suggestions for those characters ordinarily, but not for my stories. Interesting contributions, though, and it’s clear that you enjoy Fire Emblem a lot, which is nice. It would’ve been cooler if you read the fanfic, though, and then you could have really impressed me.

Which Fire Emblem class would you give your BAF and MGR characters? (From awakening and fates, whatever class suits them most)

Oh boy. Well, I’ve tried this before, but my computer has trouble loading the Fire Emblem pages. And I get lost in thoughts researching each class. Ok, let’s see if I can do this…rough version, this time.  And it goes by Awakening & Fates.

Nidoking = Great Lord

Rhydon = General (can look like a Butler)

Chesnaught = Cavalier (acts as a Knight though; uses swords too)

Greninja = Ninja (acts kind of like a Master Ninja, because sword)

Delphox = Mage

Lilligant = Dancer

Typhlosion = Spear Fighter

Samurott = Samurai (maybe Swordmaster?)

Gardevoir = Mage

Gallade = Swordmaster (looks like a Paladin without a mount though)

Escavalier = Knight

Accelgor = Ninja

Bisharp = Mercenary

Scizor = Fighter

Heracross = Mercenary

Armaldo = Barbarian / Oni Savage

Golurk = Stoneborn (lol)

Empoleon = Grandmaster

Abomasnow = General

Machamp = Swordmaster (dresses like a Barbarian or Fighter though)

Alakazam = Sage (dresses like a Sorcerer & warps like a Witch though)

Weavile = Assassin

Froslass = Dark Mage / Witch

Carracosta = Fighter (maybe Warrior, but not with a bow…Berserker?)

Mienshao = Mercenary / Myrmidion (that’s like Samurai, I know)

Golduck = Paladin (without mount)

Delibird = Apothecary

Poliwrath = Fighter

Politoed = Mercenary

Quagsire = Barbarian

Ursaring = Blacksmith

Pangoro = Berserker

Beartic = Hero (looks like Barbarian though)

Mewtwo = Sorcerer (looks like an Assassin though)

Lucario = Tactician (looks like an Trickster/Adventurer though)

Flygon = Manakete

Zoroark = Dark Knight (acts as Malig Knight or Tactician without mount)

Ok, that was my best shot. Pretty sure they don’t line up with stats, but my computer can’t handle looking at the Wiki for too long. I don’t know why that is, but it makes my computer borderline crash.

Anyway, ta-da! I’ve been waiting to do this for a while.

What are your favorite and least favorite classes to use in Fire Emblem Engage?

Gonna put a Read More because of the length

My least favorite is, no questions asked, Mage Cannonner. The way it calculates everything is just... odd. Hit is calculated through Strength and Build while Attack is calculated through Dexterity. So the best Mage Cannonner would be someone with all 3 stats being fairly high. The downfall to that is those units would prefer to be in a different class, like Great Knight Louis or Berserker/Warrior Panette. I tried putting Louis in Mage Cannonner once but he did very poor damage and due to the -10 Hit Per Tile penalty that triggers when an enemy is more than 3 tiles away, that also led him to be very inaccurate. I could see a niche use of putting Emblem Lucina on a Mage Cannoneer for Dual Strike and Dual Assist(+) because of its long range, since Chain Attacks have fixed damage and Hit. Maybe throw on Divine Pulse from Emblem Byleth for extra measure, but that's wholly relying on the Emblems rather than the class being good on its own.

My favorite class on the other hand is a tough pick, but I think I'm going to say Wyvern Knight. I'm coming to this conclusion via "which class do I like ALEAR in the most" since Alear is obviously required for every map. First off is the stats. When you compare the stats of Divine Dragon Alear to Wyvern Knight Alear, DD only beats WK in Build, and it's only by one point. Meanwhile, WK gives Alear more Strength and I believe Speed, which is AMAZING for an offensive Alear set. And since Alear is always weak to Dragon Effective weapons like the Wyrmslayer, they have the same effective weaknesses they would have as a Griffin Knight. This also makes them the same as other Wyvern Knights since the weakness, thankfully, doesn't stack. Then there's the fact that Wyvern Knight also allows two different weapon types to be used, with any combination of two weapons from the Weapon Triangle. I made my WK Alear use Swords and Lances simply because they aren't the heaviest weapon type. It's not the whole weapon triangle, but it still grants opportunities to change your weapon depending on what would be better. It could be for Dragon effectiveness vs Cavalry effectiveness, it could be to ensure a Break against a foe, it could be to ensure Alear doesn't get broken, it just opens up a bigger variety for Alear than most classes. (And while DD Alear does use Arts, DD Alear has a total magic growth rate of only 20% and a total strength growth rate of 45%, over double the magic which really hinders the damage of Arts)

Some honorable mentions for Favorite Classes include: Great Knight, Warrior, Mage Knight, Martial Master, Dancer

I somewhat kind of want to see a Alchemist class in Fire Emblem.
