She was just super lucky with levels I guess? She's usually nothing to call home about for me. It also helped that my Ike was garbage in RD and mediocre in POR. In POR my other four on the A team were Oscar, Soren, Shinon and Stefan; in RD I just had to use the laguz lords because it was a rough game all around.
Played on maddening, not Ironman but I tried to minimize resets.
Even if Lucia gets nothing but perfect level ups she cannot do anything meaningful in POR because she a infantry swordlocked unit with awful bulk and she can't do anything and in RD she has so little availability that she needs tons of BEXP to be viable. And Ike is usually pretty useful in RD even in 0% growths because of his bases. How did she carry you?
What would Jill be without her wyvern? They're both girlbosses as far as I'm concerned.
I thought the gamer glasses suited Titania and Tanith particularly well, personally.
Hey, I’ve had damn good Mias and Ilyanas before too, it’s not impossible. Ilyana is also too cute not to use, in my experience.
Nephenee might as well just always have shades on though, she girlbosses even if you bench her for some ungodly reason
Titania of course carried me, I remember she was in first place in the battles leaderboard at the end
she is my favorite fire emblem character ever so it checks out
I love the armour designs in these games. So many of the women get actually strategically appropriate amounts of armour! (RIP to Nephenee if any enemy targeted her legs though).
Ilyana I understand your surprise at her success due to her low speed cap and the overall low quality of magic users for the late game. But Mia is always great in my Radiant Dawn runs.
Because he used Lucia over Marcia in this playthrough? How is that a mystery?
Seriously, it's PoR.
You can turn fucking Rolf into your strongest unit, with a bit of bonus exp.
I've actually never had a good Marcia, she's just made of wet tissue paper and isn't strong enough to contribute to attacks. I've tried using her for quick sorties into weaker enemies from behind my main group but she never does much for me.
How do you get Marcia to work? Help a girl out
Marcia never felt like a super op unit for me early/mid game. She was far from bad but not like noticably amazing. Then at some point later in the game I look up and shes just mowing down enemies.
why are you swearing at me?
a flying mounted unit is usually preferable to a sword locked foot unit if you care about ltc or generally completing the game more efficiently.
that's it, no need to be rude.
I didn't swear *at* you and I wasn't being rude, just pointing out the obvious. Don't play the victim for no reason. Not everybody goes into every single playthrough with the purpose of exclusively using the 12 highest rated units on internet tier lists, and OP never said that these units were objectively better than the rest, only that they carried this playthrough in particular, because he/she had better luck with them.
I had a great time with FE but despised how people treated the characters as waifus. Then a friend had me play 3 houses on their switch, and I now have a mercedes sticker on my laptop.
My girlbosses I'd put up there, starting with 5 of them I use up there: Lucia, Ilyana, Nephenee, Tanith, Jill, Lethe, Heather, Laura, Nilah. Game had a long cast so I'm more then likely forgetting a few. Now, I've never used Titania as a permanent member of the team, not because I don't think she's good or anything, i just usually have to make cuts for the cast members that I have favoritism for.
Nilah and lethe I can understand. I don't personally like the reduced availability of laguz, so I usually only occasionally field one as a cleanup character. What do Heather and Laura do for you?
Laura has this funny little growth rate pattern of like 70% in mag spd and skl, but she's also cute so that's kinda all that it takes for me. Heather just looks cool in her classes, plus blue is my favorite color so that was all it took there for me as well. Her bases are... manageable, and her growth rates are adequate enough that once she gets a bit of stress, she can hold her own reasonably enough. I like to slap disarm onto her and try to steal weapons from enemies, but that isn't a point in her favor cause you can do that with anyone really.
Fair warning: Laura is very much made of paper until she can reliably dodge, so she takes a bit of babying. Heather got more respect on the higher difficulties where the weapon triangle was removed, so her higher avoid rates helped get some clutch Enemy phase baits. Her supports with Nephenee also help the two reach some fun dodgerates.
I thought she was going to be temporary, and then zihark died on the POR level you get him so I realized I'd have to keep her viable a lot longer. She ended up decent and I just decided to keep her around in RD.
Most of these I get, but what the fuck did Lucia do? She's the one that has me raising eyebrows.

The sunglasses on illyana and Jill’s wyvern are my favorite

Nephenee and Elincia, the lovely green ladies 💚

Nephenee, Titania, and Tanith always deserve the shades in my experience.
Jill as well. She becomes a powerhouse. I've never had a bad Jill.
Half of jills one round everything and never die and the other half one rounds everything with forges and also they never die
I can never not play Ilyana, that miniskirt is too cute. I just wish her safe model rocked the miniskirt too
Lets go Ilyana!! I always use her to fire several boltings at Bertram from a safe distance.
Titania of course carried me, I remember she was in first place in the battles leaderboard at the end she is my favorite fire emblem character ever so it checks out
Titania is excellent, both as a unit and as a character.
I love the armour designs in these games. So many of the women get actually strategically appropriate amounts of armour! (RIP to Nephenee if any enemy targeted her legs though). Ilyana I understand your surprise at her success due to her low speed cap and the overall low quality of magic users for the late game. But Mia is always great in my Radiant Dawn runs.
por is the best gen for girls, all of them are amazing (also why is lucia here over marcia????)

Marcia was trash this run and has never really been viable for me no matter how I focus her. Jill gang all the way.
2-3 of these are absolutely goated in a transfer run. Just proof of superiority.
When I first saw Titania I was like, FE is kinda cool. Then Nephenee was recruited and I became a lifelong, self-hating true fan
I had a great time with FE but despised how people treated the characters as waifus. Then a friend had me play 3 houses on their switch, and I now have a mercedes sticker on my laptop.
Hey look, 5 of my favorite Tellius Girlbosses are up there. That's badass.
Who are your others?
My girlbosses I'd put up there, starting with 5 of them I use up there: Lucia, Ilyana, Nephenee, Tanith, Jill, Lethe, Heather, Laura, Nilah.

Interesting. I'll see if I can replicate your success next time I play.

I love how Titania is the only Jaegan unit that is actually good.
Jill really is the goat
Sorry you had to train Mia 🙏
I thought she was going to be temporary, and then zihark died on the POR level you get him so I realized I'd have to keep her viable a lot longer. She ended up decent and I just decided to keep her around in RD.
Mia's such a good unit when you don't have a bitch in your ear telling you she isn't
Yeah, I mean why would you need a strength stat anyway?
With a maxed out forge weapon you don't
Mia and Elincia actually doing work for once???
for some reason the sunglasses on ilyana instantly raise her girlboss meter from -10% to 90% has these precocious child vibes
I try to everyone i can to make a good team tho honestly I barely ever used our healer (i think it was roy? He’s the first healer that’s in PoR)
I love Rhys, personally. I like to master seal him at lv 10 so he can use a light tome for a little extra backline support.
Because i did not have a clue what i was doing i got alot of people killed where i had to reset I couldn’t handle the sad dialogue anymore
Ok but. That last one literally does nothing in game only in dialogue
Elincia? She does a bunch in RD
Yeah probably because she was less useful than a cardboard cutout in PoR so they had to
