Because of his speed, archer has potential, but with less attack than Python (if memory serves), he gets a little outclassed. With mercenary, Kliff's only selling point is very high speed he lacks the attack growth to make good use, even with stronger weapons. Mage is pretty obvious since he gets to learn a lot of spells (all but two) and having extra healers is always nice. Still, he has the potential to outperform Mathilda as a cavalier due to good bulk and speed (and good speed means a lighter penalty with stronger weapons). Kliff: I ended up making him a cavalier my first time, but he didn't perform too well in my main campaign. While Physic is nice on a healer, it doesn't help Tobin's only two offensive spells (even if Excalibur is really good).

He doesn't have enough attack nor speed to function well in the mercenary line and, much with Gray, he gets outclassed as a cavalier or a soldier. Tobin: I've always preferred archer Tobin since he can poke units down with his decent power (not to mention he gets the skill for it). His spell list isn't great for a mage and, despite fixing the problem of his low defense, archer doesn't give him the speed to match his power (but it is a nice path after the Dread Fighter loop). His lack of defense means he'll be squishy for soldier and he's only marginally better as Clive as a cavalier (imo). It patches up his rough speed stat and allows him to fulfill his role as a swift, front-and-center fighter (even if his defense is lacking). Cheesing with Bow Knight is an option but in general Merc is the less painful option. He simply comes too late and he has only his Str. If his Spd growth kicks in during his first 2 Levels then I go Archer with so I have a Bow Knight later on (because I really can't be bothered to use Python).įaye not being a Cleric can only lead to suffering.Ītlas is basically unsalvagable if he isn't a Merc or an Archer. He will be inferior to Mathilda but nobody says you can't run 2 Gold Knights (or even 3 if we count Zeke) and he certainly won't disappoint. Cavalier doesn't touch his growth rates and his weak start is somewhat fixed. Kliff's bases are just to bad to be a Mage and his Spell list isn't great either. Unfortunately that will limit his usefulness during lategame as Sages have terrible movement and his Spd doesn't go along with him but he can still act as an Physic bot and Alm's route has that one chapter with Barons. Tobin excels as your Excalibur Mage over Kliff. The other classes introduce heavy Spd problems with him which is not something you want to have. TLDR Merc!Gray, Mage!Tobin, Cav!Kliff, Cleric!Faye, Merc!Atlas. Archer can be good to since Atlas is raw damage and doing a shit ton of damage from 5 spaces away can be helpful, the only thing is his skill is shit and he wont hit much, but it is still worth the mention.Honourable mention to Mage for him getting Rescue. Merc is just a good class for everyone but especially for Atlass since it fixes all his problems like his speed and skill but enhances his assets liek his strength and his abs so it is no doubt an amazing option. Faye doesn't really have many options since she doesn't get any remarkable spells as a Mage and she already has stiff competition as a Peg or Cav so Cleric is best.Ītlas-Merc/Archer.

An extra healer is always handy as is Rescue. Archer is decent at the beginning but he begins to shine once he becomes a Bow Knight. Cav is better if you want a good unit from the outset but will begin to become less useful as the game goes on due to better options a.k.a Mathilda, however he is still a good unit regardless. I found Kliff to be good as either of these. He also gets Physic later on as a Sage so when his combat utility begins to become mediocre, he can always do well as a heal bot. While his spell list is small, he gets Excalibur at an early level and that is the only spell anyone ever needs. Also, Alm's route is in desperate need of more swordies. His skill is shit so Archer is no, Soldier is bad in general, he doesn't have the spell list to be a good Mage and Cav is really his only other best class but he is outclassed by literally every other Cav on Alm's route, so yeah. I tend to go the 'canon' route myself (Merc-Gray, Archer-Tobin, Mage-Kliff, Peg-Faye, ?(I usually go Cav cause of that one video where we got a glimpse of him)-Atlas) since I'm that person (I know I'm horrible).
