And probably hard mode too. Anything works there. Mortal Savant offers nothing for units approaching it from a sword user standpoint other than an extra movement (depending on other sword class) and the ability to use healing magic, which Byleth already has in Enlightened One, and everyone else in Trickster, though at the cost of Swordfaire. For magic damage, it's much better for a sword unit to just rely on the Levin Sword which when upgraded has 1-3 range. Mortal Savant hugely reduces their speed stat and growth, which tends to be the strong point of units you would train in sword usage. For magic users the speed penalty is not so severe since they already tend to be low on that stat, but there is almost never anything to be gained from gaining swordfaire. Only one I can think of right now that could possibly see potential in it is Manuela, but she has a reason bane and a terrible dark magic spelllist and is much more suited for either trickster, a healing and support focused role, or a sword role that foregoes magic entirely. While Tomefaire is nice for magic users, the class offers no other benefits they'd prefer. Gremory has double spell casts and a high magic modifier that nearly makes up for the loss of tomefaire. Warlock has both double dark casts and tomefaire, though less movement than Gremory even. However, that is easier to make up than mortal savant's lack of utility. And of course, mounted magic units like dark knight, valkyrie and dark flier outperforms mortal savant in various ways related to movement, utility, damage or range. Like, I'm not saying you can't do anything if you use mortal savant, except you can't see cause the ugliness of male mortal savant has blinded you. Comparatively to other classes in the game, by the game's own mechanics that heavily makes dual physical and magical attacking a fairly pointless endeavor, Mortal Savant is one of the worst things. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:951840991] in Playing Fi...
