Don't worry guys, I got a good price for selling you out

So...I'm starting a new game in FE9 and I need suggestions for which characters to use. I'm kinda wanting to use different characters from what I normally use, but I don't want to go completely overobard and only use different ones; and it's too late and I'm too tired to make rational decisions right now so I'm asking you guys for help.

Here are the guys I normally use:

Ike (duh)
Oscar
Soren
Boyd
Kieran
Volke (It'll take one hell of an argument to make me use Sothe instead)
Zihark
Stefan
Rhys
Mist
Rolf
Ranulf
(And random prepromos as I need them to fill up space)

Heh, the list doesn't look that big now I've typed it up. I would quite like support chains in there too so keep that in mind. It isn't essential though. Also, I'm not keen on Nephenee or Jill since last time I used them they were rubbish, but I might try again.

Thanks in advance.

Ew, Oscar is all I can really say. And your Nephene probably got screwed, or maybe mine is blessed. But Jill usually turns out rubbish for me.

Party on, dudes.

My Nephenne is usually only good after I've given her Resolve and gotten rid of half her HP. After that, the only major difference between her and Ike is that her weapons break, and she doesn't get Aether.

I think Makalov and Astrid support each other, so you could use them together. But I'll have to check.

Edit: Yep, thunder and wind, if that interests you at all.

Well, Jill is usually kickass, really, but I've had screwed Jills before, so I know what you think. (lol, 3 0-stat levelups). Marcia isn't bad at all though. She could support with Kieran, Rolf of Makalov.

Brom (use the KW for him) is a good unit, and has a nice support with Zihark. And Neph, but you don't seem to want to use her. <<

Astrid and Malakov are excellent Paladins as well if you train them - and they support together, too.

Tormod and Calill are good offensive sages I'd consider too. Reyson is awesome, but some people don't like that kind of unit.

I personally hate Makalov, he comes under leveled and can barely DA, let alone wield a Steel Sword. Marcia? Just give her a Forged Iron Lance with only a Mt bonus, and she's good. Brom? Ugh, he's terrible if he doesn't make his expected Spd. I have no problem with Astrid, she can easily level up by abusing that Berserker boss.

My extremely biased statement is this, he can barely hold his own against the enemies on the field, and most of my Bonus EXP is being used by Mist. Brom is also a pain to level up without Bonus EXP, he packs little punch early on.

Astrid could, in theory, be heavily abused with her Knight's Thingamabob and hefty BEXP abuse. You have her SPD shoot through the roof, then she'd be able to dodge enough to keep herself alive, even at a lower level. Or something. I'm not using her yet, so I can't speak for her.

*gets out soapbox* Consider dropping Soren from your party once you get Illy and/or Tormod. Heck, use Illy -and- Tormod. Illy supports with Zihark, who can support with the sexellent (albeit slightly inferior to Ranulf) Muarim. Largo isn't bad, late-game, and can hook supports up with the decent mid-game Devdan (who becomes relevant, if you won't use Nephy), and more importantly, Muarim himself. Back to Devdan, he supports with Tormod, who supports with Reyson, who supports with Ike or Tanis, both good units.

Most of these characters are mid/late-game, however, and if you're not keen on diverging from OPTIMAL POWERZZZZ, it's a very bad team.

lol, this is all going over my head.
1478: George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, was executed by drowning in a barrel of Malmsey wine at his own request.

Put on your hard hat and head for the highways! From repairing country lanes, to constructing huge motorways your engineering skills will be put to the test in this fascinating simulation.

Lay out the traffic cones and punch through the concrete with your pneumatic drill as your new roadway starts to take shape. All of the tools of the trade are at your disposal including an asphalt planer, steamroller, marking machine and the whole gamut of machinery required to transform a building site into a super smooth motorway. As your skills grow you will be able to embark on a range of diverse missions. Country roads, pothole repairs, lane widening and motorway construction are all in a day's work for the hard hat highway heroes!

Dig for pay dirt and form your own civil engineering company. You will be starting modestly with small wheel loaders but success is in the soil! As your skills and reputation increase grow your business with the purchase of a huge selection of equipment including the heavy road roller!

Get swept up into fighting the flotsam and jetsam of city life with Street Cleaning Simulator! In Street Cleaning Simulator you are the proud owner/operator of a small firm specialising in keeping the town's roads free from all the leaves and dirt that accumulate over time. Visit your office to learn what work the Mayor's office has for you.

Your vehicle is a highly sophisticated street cleaning machine. It's equipped with three highly powered and independently operated brushes. Whose work can be supported by highly powered water jets - which are needed to remove that stubborn street dirt.

You'll be operating on busy streets so you'll have to use your driving skills to avoid pedestrians and other road users. Remember to use your wing mirrors to help prevent crashing your vehicle.
Don't forget to fill up with fuel...and water......and empty out the muck from time to time.

Street Cleaning Simulator features highly detailed vehicles and a wonderfully crafted town for you to explore - and keep clean!

No more waiting on the hard shoulder in Europe to be rescued! Tow Truck Simulator places you in the role of the driver and operator of a rescue truck as you become the hero of the hour and rescue broken down vehicles and attend accidents. Or perhaps you will prefer to take the role of the driver of a dreaded towing truck and tow away illegally parked cars.

There are four models of tow trucks for you to choose from each with a crane and winch to remove every kind of vehicle. You will learn how to handle different cars to get them loaded as quickly as possible!

The large detailed 3D environment allows you to freely explore the roads around you whilst searching for drivers in distress.

Well, I think that Illyana is a great character, she uses the strongest magic, Thunder, and she actually uses Elthunder which is even better.

I hate how hard it is to level up Brom... I gave Kieran a LOT of Bonus Ex and now I give him like one level up after every chapter. Some of the characters are so far behind it is almost impossible to get them good stats.

I also think that Oscar sucks, though I use him. He can't do crap even after he Class Ups. Gatrie is like that too. I like to use Tauroneo (sp?)

Astrid can change classes pretty well after like three chapters of giving her bonus ex.

Now, I wouldn't say Gatrie can't to crap after Promoting. Anyways, at least someone agrees that Oscar gets screwed beyond belief.

Illyana's Thunder spells give her an edge against other mages, albeit she suffers heavily from FE9's Mage-hating AS system.

It only hates half the mages, thankyouverymuch. Cal, Tormod, and Bast do fine, although you'd never want to use Bast, unless everyone else somehow died. It's because of the first two's superior STR that they can stand up to Soren.

I KNOW.

I played Sacred Stones after PoR and I was like, you can actually use mages and sages without worrying about them dying in one hit. That also goes for most of the units in the game. I hate having to consistently use Titania, Muarim, or Lethe to kill the bosses until Ike is strong enough to do it.

Has anyone actually really used Mordecai after you get Muarim? I only used him when I was low on units. He finally transforms three-fourths into the battle and he has nothing really to do because it is already situated.

I only use laguz when I get a Demi Band, which is when I get Muarim. For the early game, Mordy has trouble getting EXP, no matter how you shake it, and the birds can't go on all-out offensives because of archers. Mordy can tank better, and that's what I use laguz for, but he can't double like Muarim can. I might try Mordy when I use Illy, though.

I wish you could get more Demi Bands.

I never used Ulki either. The best Laguz unit is Tibarn. (Unless someone has anyone better.) I never really used Nasealla (sp?) or Griffca.

I have the greatest strategy for the last chapter... it is to complicated to write out, but I use it every time.

Elincia was plain annoying. She just didn't have enough time to level up and Mist should have used Light Magic instead of swords, since only Rhys used Light Magic. :whatever:
I always liked Rhys until he kept dying.

Tibarn is too exclusive. "Best" would constitute being useful in more than two chapters. He's a sexy beast, but he's not practical to include in a team.

Eli's not bad as a mandatory unit, though. Hit-and-run healing means I can have Mist doing other crap, and that's never bad. Amiti's a kickass sword, considering it's Brave and keeps Eli from taking OHKOs pretty well.

Through alot of bonus EXP with Healer's name on it, or a very long, hard time of letting him finish off enemies.

Not really to either. Brom can easily keep himself alive, unlike Astrid, and can occasionnaly double a few enemies, so can just have him dash forward and take hits while countering for his EXP.

Sabre, if you give up Soren to use Tormod, I may have to kill you slowly and painfully.

If you try to kill me, I'll cut your internet cable.

If you try that, I'll torture your soul in hell for all eternity.

Stability is a myth, which is debunked by maths. For that matter, I've never had sucky Eliwoods - or Oscars.

Averages are nice in discussions and such, but randomness still determines characters in the end. Except for in fixed mode. >_>

And I, personally, have never had an Eliwood better than decent, and he was still largely overshadowed by Lyn and Hector. I hardly ever play random mode in FE9, but the Oscars I had then didn't shine, either.

It does, and averages are what the character is the most likely to have as stats in the end, regardless of any supposed "stability".

Yes, but some characters simply lack stats that are expected to be exceptional or terrible despite a few oddball RNs. Deviations in their stats are far more notable than, say, Serra ending with a few points more res or Boyd having bit less res than usual.

Don't worry guys, I got a good price for selling you out

Ok, I've decided that, since they pwn in FE9, I'm gonna use all four of the unpromoted Paladins (Oscar, Kieran, Astrid and Makalov). I want use Soren and Tormod too. So, my team right now consists of:

Ike
Mist
Volke
Soren
Oscar
Kieran
Astrid
Makalov
Tormod

So...who should the last three (maybe four) characters be?

Alright; I've figured that I can get a support chain working if I add in Marcia to support with Kieran, Jill to support with Mist and Haar to support with Jill and Makalov. Since Haar doesn't turn up for a while, I'll use Reyson too, mainly so Tormod has someone to support with. That leaves my team with (in order of getting the characters):

Ike
Oscar
Soren
Mist
Marcia (yes, as much as I hate peggies, I'm gonna use her)
Volke
Kieran
Jill
Astrid
Makalov
Tormod
Reyson
Haar

Anyone I should switch out?

Lessee...

Soren B Ike A Oscar B Kieran A Marcia

Mist A Jill B Haar A Makalov B Astrid

Tormod A Reyson

That works pretty darn well if you ask me. Also, only units that could lag behind are Ike/Soren and Reyson not transformed. You at least get one pair of boots to fix one of the two.

EDIT : If you're bent on completing a chain, Rolf fits right between Marcia and Mist. Just a thought <<

I usually give Soren the boots. The extra movement really helps him.

EDIT: If I have room, I might bring Stefan in too because he supports with Soren. Yeah, the bonuses aren't too great but any stat increase is better than none at all.

EDIT2: Hmmm, that fits well too. I'll think about it.

Bah. That's not a weird team. I've used Soren, Ilyana, Tormod, Rolf, Mist, Jill, Boyd, Oscar, Nephenee, Mia, AND Zihark in the same run.

Seriously, I use a VERY large amount of units in FE9. I'm never entirely sure why people always limit themselves to such a tiny amount of units. <_<;;;

I think I've been running an odd team, honestly. The staples being Mist(as an offensive backup to Muarim; mine has crack stats, don't ask), Rolf, Tormod, Muarim (being my all-star), Rhys, and Nephenee. It was on a whim that I stopped leveling Oscar mid-game, but he was falling behind Kieran. Largo, Calill, Ike (yes, really; his stats were sucking until I started BEXP abusing him), Zihark, Stefan, Kieran, Soren, Haar, Reyson, and Tanis being less important and interchangable whenever needed.

I support Rolf, though. He's scarily kickass for a kid that tiny. Good live bait, too (big brother Boyd being better at that, though). If you're not on Hard, or if your Soren starts sucking, consider phasing in Calill. She's a good character to use those long-range tomes that you'll be stuck with by the last five chapters or so, and she doesn't lose much AS, if any. (Tormod's good for that, too, but he could wind up too slow to double with them. Not that Soren could, either, under most circumstances.) Her MOV doesn't match well with Tormod's though, despite them supporting...
