Barth is doomed to get 59 HP? That is one way of looking at it, he will be a good meatshield if you level him up no matter what, unlike Bors who can be RNG screwed and rivals Dorothy in ugliness.

Bors isn't ugly, neiimi is. Barth is a decent unit, just outclassed by bors. Cass? You mean Cath? Chad is a good theif. Astol is like Leagult, Chad is like matt. But theives don't promote, so Chad is a better stealer, seeing as it is much more likely for him to max speed, than Astol. Chad also has higher luck. Astol is a better fighter, but who actually fights with theives? They are utility units.

I fight with thieves...
Right now, this is who I"m using (from memory, so cut me some slack).
Roy (duh) Lilina Lance Clarice (I know I messed that name up, the troubadour) Alan Oujay Wendy (she is really disappointing me, I should've listened...) Fir Wolt (does his str ever move?) Sue Saul *Astol (when I need him, he'll be replaced by Cath when she joins) *Lugh
I'm probably going to add Gonzalous when I get to him. I'm really annoyed that Shin seems to be better than Sue, and I just got him. My archers are disappointing me... Is Noah any good? By the time I got him, I already had trained Alan and Lance. Why the hell did they give us six cavaliers? What made them think I need that many horse riding buggers? And two crappy prepromotes?
Question: Do I ever get a monk? Lacking Light magic (yes, I know it sucks) is driving me nuts. I mean, I really expected Saul to be a monk when I first saw him...
So, how badly did I screw up? Unless Wendy gets better, she's my weakest link. Followed by the two archer units... Wolt is decent, by his str is at 5, and he's level 13ish....

Light is like FE9. Staffers promote and get to use light magic. So Saul will be your bishop with light when he promotes. There are no monks.
My wolt has 8 str at lvl 16, so it does.
Shin is like Rath, with good bases. Sue is faster. I use both.
Are you using bors or Barth? The other 2 knights? Bors is sorta like oswin, but not as good. And Barth is a pure wall.
And Diek, hes a great merc. Oujay is like Raven, but Diek has the con to use axes. And hes a great unit, sorta like Gerrik.

Oujay is even worse than Raven, less Con and less Strength.

More lck and more def.
less con? WTF?
Raven has 8. Oujay has 8.
8>8? I don't understand.

Oujay is one of my better units. Unlike his support partner, Wendy, who dies more often than the mages... Like her look and personality, just wish she had decent stats.
Gonzales, on the other hand, is tearing up the battlefield. I pair him off with Lilina, and they hold off like ten other troops by themselves....
Dropped Saul, replaced him with Geese, who is disappointing me. Second most fragile unit, after Wendy... and I wouldn't think a pirate and a knight would be fragile units...
Dropped Thany (who somehow wasn't on my list) for Tate, to support with Alen (she does, right?)

Oujay has 8 con are you sure? I though it was 6 or 7.

Its 8. When's the last time you played FE6?
You dropped Saul? Yet you like light magic? who is gonna be your bishop then? Ellen is crap, Saul is decent, and Clarine becomes a valk.
What chapter are you on? Wendy sucks, geese does not. Geese is sorta like dan but more balanced and more con. Geese has skil, lck and def that dan does not. Dan just has killer str and skl growths. Geese still makes a decent beserker, and hes mega sexy!
Just drop Wendy, I needed room for sophia so I dropped her.
How could you drop thany? She is like Florina! Shes a great pegasus!

Thany isn't good, not as good as Florina at any rate. Use her until you get Milady and later Zeiss, they are better and to much flyers isn't a good thing.

I hate wyvern riders.. they're slow, weak against almost everything (bow, magic, certain swords, axes... just about everything you fight ten things of).
I'm probably going to drop Wendy for Sophia. Her supports with Oujay further prove her to not be worth a slot on my group.
I know, i'm not getting light. It sucks, but I can't find a good reason to keep Saul...
On the chapter where I've got to rescue that female general... what'shername... Roy's teacher... It's like 14 or something... I think my people are actually fairly high, as quite a few of my main group have promoted or are close to it.

thats chapter 12. How did you get tate then? I talked to her with Thany, and she just flew away, and said we would meet again or something.
Bows on wyverns isn't that bad. Wyverns have higher def, and hp, so they can take the hit much better than a pegasus, while your pegasus will get killed in one hit most likely. Wyverns don't have good res, that does not mean that they are weak against magic. Gonzales is more weaker to magic than wyverns. I know that miledy has a higher than 5% res growth. Gonzales and Barth have some of the worst resistances in the game (usually 0 lvl ups in it at 20/20). Do people rip on them? No.
So what if there are wyvern slaying weapons. There are horse slayers, and armor slayers as well. Great Knights in FE8 were weak on both horse slayers, and armor slayers.
Did you promote your units before 20? I'm just starting to promote.

Yeah Great Knight really got the bad end of that deal: Armorslayers, Longswords (they are called something else in FE8), Hammers, Halberts, Heavy Spears and Horseslayers are all strong against them and they only have 6 move too.
