Discussion for Fire Emblem: The Great Divide

Too bad. That's how the games work.


Although Poleaxes became standard weapons in RD that don't to extra damage against horses.

It really depends on the Archer/Mage and what kind of weapon they're using. For example, a normal, everyday Tier 1 Archer with a normal Iron Bow isn't going to be able to do a thing against a powerful Hawk Laguz. Even with effective bonuses.

However, a tier 3 Marksman with an Arbalest(the most powerful Crossbow) can OHKO even a Royal Hawk Laguz. Assuming, of course, it hits. But that's rare. Crossbows have ludicrous power, but a very low chance to hit.

But a tier 2 Sniper or a Marksman with a really good Bow, like a Silencer, Silver Bow, or even the legendary Double Bow? Yeah. That's gonna hurt like a b****.

Same principle with Wind Magic. A regular Mage with a normal Wind Tome won't be able to do anything against, say, your Hawk General. But a powerful Tier 3 Archsage with the legendary Rexcalibur tome? It's gonna hurt. A lot.

The Archer class tree as a whole don't have penalties in the games, but that can be changed for believability purposes. But it's still going to depend on the "tier system".

I.E, a normal Archer would get penalties to Hit Rate shooting into the air, whereas Snipers and Marksmen wouldn't. To my knowledge, tomes working when wet was never addressed in the canon. So let's say they do, for balancing and convenience purposes.

Pretty sure there were penalties for attacking someone on a cliff/foothold higher than you in RD, but for all I know, that's because the person on the higher elevation had something resembling cover.

Penalty for the one attacking up, bonus for the one attacking down...  Eh.

Well, if the hawk is diving directly into the arrow, we all know how that's going to end.

Also, the "largest pair of wings on the planet" belong to Black Dragons. Black Dragons are far larger than Hawks, especially if said Dragon is full grown.

Ex- In terms of size, my Caderyn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than your Hawk General.

Your Hawk General is probably about the size of Tibarn, maybe a bit larger, while full grown Black Dragons can be as large as Dheginsea. I'll try to find some decent images or videos for reference.

Scale! Each of the four generals and the king have 2000 troops under their direct command. Another 10,000 are under the command of lower-ranked people, indirectly commanded by the king.

Hartmann's main camp is 500 strong. He has several other camps of various strength scattered about, from as little as a dozen to as many as 200, for a grand total of 3000 troops. Many more people will join after the rebellion makes its mark.
