Fire Emblem: Awakening

Ah yeah, the lack of variety kinda sucks.

But I guess as far as mages are concerned you're only missing... what, the troubadour branch, dark flyer, trickster, and tactician?

Don't think any of her other magic-based fathers have a big variety either, and Libra gives Noire a nice magic boost so I don't think he's the worst possible father.

Ricken has a little more variety, but IIRC his branch classes are all geared towards physical attackers.
 
ricken has terrible speed base and in a game where speed is extremely important, miriel outclasses him.
besides, cavalier on a mage, really?

Yeah, pretty much this.

Ricken's one of the worst units in the game, IMO.

I thought he was good at first, but that was only because he came with elwind. When I got all my other mage units el tomes, he fell behind.
 
i once used him, but he had like such bad speed and was getting doubled
maybe i was just rng screwed
 
lol, I basically use him for that one chapter with all the pegasus knights and that's it since beyond that I don't have room for him.

But anyway, for this playthrough I'm going to try and train Miriel up.
 
Ricken is okay although I found other mages to be much more useful.

Good grieving.

1. Tiki (manakete powers are AWESOME)
2. Henry (Best personality and humor in the game, hands down.)
3. Anna (Second-best personality and humor in the game. Her gimmick was actually funny.)
4. Frederick (His sarcasm is epic, and he's pretty awesome, although I really don't think he should be this high...)
5. Morgan (She's nice and cheerful, and the most powerful character in the game. Idk why she's this high though.)
5. Walhart (I AM INEXORABLE. ALSO AN AWESOME VILLAIN.)
7. Basilio (Don't you put any stock in this destiny hogwash. Is also Nick Fury.)
8. Cordelia (I liked her whole perfectionist personality thing, and how she had to recover from the deaths of her entire pegasi squadron. It's an interesting take on her character, and I really think it fit well with how I always reclassed her to a Mercenary. It's like she couldn't keep flying because it kept bringing back memories.)
9. Gerome (He's Batman. Also one of the kids who actually realizes that they need to save the world, and stays focused on that job. I also like his distaste for time travel.)
10. Lucina (Like Gerome, but without a dragon. Also not Batman.)
11. Nah (Again with the serious kids! I guess I like their character. Anyways, Nah is the anti-Nowi and that automatically makes her awesome.)
12. Cherche (You've got to respect a lady who manages to deal with Virion, run his house successfully, and also kill everyone in sight.)
13. Miriel (Her gimmick was also consistently funny! And she was always there to blast whoever was in my way to smithereens with Arcfire.)
14. Gregor (Gregor smash! His gimmick was funny, with the whole Russian accent. He would have been a lot higher except that I kept trying to use him like Gerik from FE8 and he just wasn't quite that awesome. Still, his personality was great. Like Heavy from TF2.)
15. Stahl (Stahl was always there to absorb damage for me, and he was just an all-around dependable guy. And his character reflected that, which was cool.)
16. Kjelle (Not the best kid, but not the worst. Kjelle's personality never really impressed me too much, but she was pretty cool, I guess.)
17. Chrom (Eh, he's likable enough and gets this unbelievably awesome sword. Manages to do a good job running the army.)
18. Lon'qu (Serious business guy who actually has a surprisingly deep backstory that explains his gimmick well. He wasn't the most impressive fighter but he was pretty cool.)
19. Sumia (Sumia was one of the best units in this game, and could take out anything short of knights and archers reliably. Her personality was okay, I guess, but she paired up well with Chrom and made a good queen. I thought.)
20. Gaius (While I dislike his gimmick, he's a good rogue character and I liked how he was pretty cool and collected most of the time. Except for his gimmick. Ugh.)

Characters I'm meh on:
21. Inigo
22. Noire
23. Brady
24. Aversa
25. Donnel
26. Flavia
27. Severa
28. Tharja
29. Sully
30. Owain
31. Panne
32. Olivia
33. Libra
34. Priam
35. Laurent (always following in his mother's footsteps...)
36. Lissa

Characters I dislike:
37. Virion (While he does have his "deeper" side, he's still incredibly vain. And annoying.)
38. Yarne (The man was yellow, he should have been tried for cowardice and shot! ~ Patton)
39. Cynthia (She's like Sumia crossed with Owain, minus Sumia's talent.)
40. Ricken (he's not the worst example, but he's still the annoying kid that follows you around everywhere.)
41. Maribelle (Words cannot describe my dislike for prim and proper characters.)
42. Say'ri (mostly forgettable character, unfortunately. I feel like she had a lot of potential that wasn't realized.)
43. Yen'fey (bleh, one of those spotpass characters who i wasn't interested in)
44. Emmeryn (same as above)
44. Gangrel (same as above)
46. Kellam (that gimmick is so, so stupid)
47. Vaike (annoying personality, and I never managed to use him well because HE ALWAYS MISSES)
48. Nowi (an insult to the race of manakete, and the most annoying character in the game.)
 
nowi is just creepy
she looks like she's 10 years old, yet wears revealing clothing
i'm aware she's like 1000 but it's just strange

Well I never used any peg knights but I trained up my Ricken and he one of my most powerful units especially when paired with Henry.

honestly she is without a doubt the worst character in the game.

about shit at everything really.

Which is why tiki is far superior.
 
I like her and used her a lot until near the end of the game when she began to be not very effective. I haven't got Tiki. Still can't do that chapter.
 
I really don't like Nah
I know everyone else disagrees with me, but I just hate the way she acts towards the other characters in the supports.
