Her speed is probably way higher than her opponent which is able to negate the weapon triangle.

>High Skl/Spd girl with the most accurate lance in the game
>Laughable stat/class enemy with an axe known to be bad accuracy-wise
>Is playing the Fire Emblem where everyone's accuracy was notoriously bad unless you were using Anima magic or Slim weaponry

Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary here.

Axes are just garbage

This really depends on the game, and the weapon triangle doesn't make too much of a difference when the units are far enough apart in stats.

Can't be, Endgame thinks every Fire Emblem post-SNES is flaming garbage, he wouldn't be seen dead playing 6.

Ugh, I'm on Chapter 11 now. Hard map


God damn it!

There is someone I need to talk to with Roy at '1'
Then fly them back to '2' to talk to another person
Have to save all the villages [Purple circles]
Save all the Green Units that come with 1 and 2
All within like 7 turns

I really need 1 more Flying unit =x

I hate when I don't click the right fucking unit to pick up because it won't let you fucking undo it. No confirmation

Guess I'll restart and try again tomorrow

FE6 Steel Axe is a shockingly awful weapon. Like, the 18 weight axes of FE4 are better than it because at least most of them can hit somewhere near the target

Yeah I kinda feel like axes and predominantly axe have a lot more issues that outweigh the triangle.

And magic, and 1-2 range weapons, and lances

FE6 is kind of an exception since swords didn't get with the shit stick the way almost every other weapon type did, but still, throughout Fire Emblem swords tend to be pretty bad. Locked to 1 range and also the weakest weapon type and also at a disadvantage against what tends to be the most common weapon type on enemies.

No, I've played 4-8 so many times it's not even funny and I have never had an issue with Swords. Maybe they become an issue latter in the series since I never got into anything after 8 (Played Awakening and didn't like it), so maybe times have changed

But the 3 GBA games? Give ma fucking break. Swords are always great, and this is coming from someone that does Low-Turn count runs and has S-Rank cleared them

Don't forget you also have to talk to Echidna if you wanna recruit her later, IIRC.

the weapon triangle never actually made a difference because most of the series is you blasting units with javelins and hand axes with mounted units

They're good in FE4 because weight is so hilariously imbalanced. They're bad in 7 and 8. Way too many enemy groups with a mixture of 1 and 2 range (not to mention lances in general). Even before you factor in their lower might, there's just too many situations where equipping a sword is strictly inferior.

And yet I mostly use them and S-Rank the games

Axes are horrible, Swords and Lances are OP
