Hey guys, I need your help with something, it's something I did on Gamefaqs a few years back but I think all the posts have been deleted.

This is self explanatory, You all rate the Character of the Day on a scale 1-10, but this series will have the ratings separated in four categories: Main Game, Postgame, Characterization, and Personal.

QUOTE

Main Game-This will address how well the character performs and contributes in the main story campaign. Postgame-This will tackle how much usefulness characters have in the postgame/DLC content. Be it through being an active unit, supporting unit, or how good a parent the character can be for the 2nd gen. (This only applies to Fe:8) Characterization-This will be how much you liked the character in the supports or story. Personal- This category will be how how was YOUR experience with the character, like getting RNG Blessed or Screwed, the recruitment chapter they had, etc.

Here we go again people, another day, 0 dollars. What do we have in store for you today?

Here we have the first member of the bash brothers, who aren't even brothers... Ward is one of the blandest characters in existence, he wears blue and has an axe, and there's really not much more to him than that. Ward has a lot of strength and skill, but none of the speed or health to go along with it. He's decent early on in the game but just gets mobbed by all the sword users later on.

The short-tempered cleric Serra is up next, this fiery bundle of questions and anger is our only healer for the first 13 chapters so she's slightly crucial to our mission. Coming from Ostia with dreams of castles and fancy gatherings, instead she's stuck in the void that is Hector's service. Still, she fights on to heal another day

Artur coming soon

You guys all suck.

I'm sure everybody here has played the games, why won't you comment???

I've been wanting to. Then I remember I was sick the last few days :/

Fe:6 Ward
Main Game: 3
I've never liked a combination of fragile and slow. And putting that in melee form is asking for a ragequit restart. Decent auxiliary or grind damage fighter early, but heroes pretty much outclass warriors in all assets for these early characters

Characterization: 1
...Personality?

Personal: 3
Again, I've got a tradition of trying, then realizing I hate, the slow fighters. Ward/Wade is no exception.

Fe:7 Serra
Main Game: 8
Probably one of the most useful units you'll get. Priscilla gets the mounted thing and all, but Serra has level and magic. And plenty of it. Lyn's route is pretty much power levelling for Serra.

Characterization: 7
Probably one of the more memorable characters for back story, probably second to only Renault in this area for FE7. Her depth is pretty large for an FE character, especially if you add in Mathew.

Personal: 4
It's weird - I tend to drop Serra quite a bit due to glass cannon syndrome. Her speed just sucks. I know 40% is volatile at the best of times, but THAT volatile?

Fe:8 Artur
Main Game: 9
Anything with the term "Bishop" as a possible promotion is instantly high rated in this game. Slayer is broken and holy crap do his stats let him use it well.

Characterization: 3
Probably my answer to "who's a generic guy in FE8?". But then again, there's quite a few up for that title.

Personal: 6
Nuke, kaboom. It's hard to give a tactical rating of 9 more than 5 since you don't expect much more than awesomeness. For those who hate Cordelia, I use Artur as my comparable of a character I hate, but I pretty much use because he's impossible to skip for that amazing fighting ability.

Fe:6
Day 10: Ward
Main Game: Never played the game. 0/0
Characterization:^ 0/0
Personal:^^ 0/0

Fe:7
Day10: Serra
Main Game: First healer you get, so yeaaaaahh. Kinda in-between good and bad. 6/10
Characterization: She whines a lot. Not much else. Then again, I was never able to keep her alive long enough to see actual characterization.. 2/10
Personal: Meh. 5/10

Fe:8
Day 10: Artur
Main Game: YES. Light Magic is invaluable in this game, purely due to the massive amounts of monsters in it. Artur's the first you get that can use light magic right off the bat, and if you promote him up to Bishop, Slayer is badass! 9/10
Characterization: I only remember his first lines. Yeah, nothing memorable here. 2/10
Personal: In the first chapter I got him, he criticaled every single monster that dared use Dark magic against him. Yeah, he was kinda OP for that chapter, and I dunno why. When I promoted him to a bishop, he became a frickin' ninja priest. 10/10

It's worth a read of her Oswin and Mathew supports through online databases at the least.
