Skies of Arcadia (Legends):
Vyse: 8/10. Yeah, good on all fronts you need him to be.
Aika: 7/10. Not sold on the Lambda Burst Hype cause twinking magic for Pyr- spells does the exact same thing, and fore less SP (MP is laughable resource in SoA), though Delta Shield and game best speed are handy.
Drachma: 7/10. Awesome Tank, Spirit Charge is awesome, and Hand of Fate is like a Pirate's Wrath supplement. That said, lack of usage holds him back from being higher.
Fina: 4/10. Not as bad as people state, but there's nothing really unique she can do until later, and the big awesome moves...are kind of meaningless when the scariest you see enemies do is offset by the game's broken item set, she ends up using most of her turns just tossing said items *OR* using Focus.
Gilder: 4/10. Aura of Denial is useless since Delta Shield covers everything remotely care worthy, all he has is basically AoE Cutlass Fury, and that's not enough to give him a purpose. He does, however, have significantly more durability than Fina, so...we'll say that offsets the lack of usage, yeah, that works!
Enrique: 8/10. Justice Shield. He could have nothing else and his worth would be justified.
Fire Emblem Fliers (Hawks Included!):
Thany: 6/10. Passable Flier, if nothing really special.
Tate: 3/10. Less than passable flier.
Miredy: 8.5/10. Ok, now we're talking!
Zeiss: 3.5/10. About as good as Miredy...when he catches up. Thing is, he joins like 4 chapters later, 3 levels lower, so catching up isn't happening.
Yunno: 1/10. Not only does she suck, getting her robs you of...Dayan...whose slightly better! ...yeah, bad argument, Yunno still sucks though.
Florina: 7.5/10. Ah, now THAT"S more like it, as far as Peg Knight's go; half a point for that ridiculously early Lyn Support that compliments both characters well.
Fiora: 7/10. Florina variation, about equal I feel but lacks the Lyn support.
Heath: 3/10. Zeiss in a game with better competition.
Farina: 3/10. Good on paper, but...not worth the recruitment cost, requires playing catch up and she's Hector Mode only to boot.
Vaida: 4/10. Passable filler if you really need it.
Vanessa: 6/10. Works for what she is, but I was never too impressed.
Tana: 9/10. HER, now, on the otherhand, just kicks ass across the board.
Cormag: 7/10. Miredy in a game with better competition; this translates a lot better than Zeiss in a game with better competition of course!
Syrene: 1.5/10. Really bad, I give her half a point cause I feel she's at lest better than Yunno.
Marcia(9): 7/10. Textbook example of what Peg Knights should be.
Jill(9): 8/10. Ok, fuck Cormag, THIS is Miredy in a game with better competition.
Janaff(9): 2/10. Garbage; useful for getting the Knight Ring, and that's about it. A flier who joins when you have 3 and lacks the usual flight advantages like, say, Canto.
Tanith(9): 6.5/10. Solid enough, but nothing special; Reinforce is pretty bitching though, so half a point for that.
Ulki(9): 2/10. Janaff's equally crappy counterpart!
Haar(9): 4/10. Hey look, its the Zeiss type, except actually joins properly leveled! Pity he's still nothing special.
Tibarn(9): 7/10. I'm not sure if I can credit him for Chapter 29 or not, since he's an allied unit...but otherwise, he's like the other two; kicks ass, but for one map only.
Jill(10): 8.5/10. Really good on all fronts; she's such a major crutch to the Dawn Brigade, its not even funny, being the ONLY Flier (sans short points with Vika), one of the only mounted characters (The other being garbage), *AND* one of the most durable characters among the group, you really end up relying on her a lot.
Marcia(10): 7/10. Lack of usability holds her back, and she does join a bit underleveled, so she does feel worse than the other 2 Falcon Knights. That said, she's still good at what she does.
Haar(10): 9/10. Yeah, pretty absurd; though, like was said, late game his speed does hold him back offensively a bit, so he's more just a steady Mobile Tank that late, not that this is a bad thing.
Janaff(10): 8.5/10. The only flaws he really has is starting with A Rank Strike, which limits his offense for a while, and Laguz do have to watch their gauge. Other than that? Kicks ass on all fronts.
Ulki(10): 8.5/10. ...see Janaff. The Two Hawks got upgrades on par with the likes of SHinon and Elincia, but damn did they need it!
Sigrun: 6/10. Servicable Flier, who joins right when Fliers are really handy. Being so close to Tier 3 makes her become a good unit to use during Part 4 where you're using a lot of units, given Tier 3 Promotions have awesome gains (and Stun.)
Tanith(10): 6/10. Sigrun whose worse earlier, but better later, it evens out.
Tibarn(10): 9/10. Oh look, he's even better in this game, and now joins for an amount of time that can actually be considered measurable enough to gain a genuine score! He also happens to be a leader in 2 of those chapters, giving you a sexy 4 star Leadership bonus.
