Marisa: Difference between revisions

Marisa isn't very useful. She joins around the midgame as a myrmidon with low bases, weapon ranks, base level, but high  growths. Because of the low enemy quality in ''The Sacred Stones'' the predominant phisical weapon types are axes and lances due to their easy access to 1-2 range. Swords as such are quite burdening to it's users as many enemies carry 1-2 range weapons and due to the high enemy quanity in the game it can be quite tiedious to be able to kill only one 1 enemy on player phase when units with access to 1-2 range are able to defeat a much beigger nubmer of said enemies during the enemy phase. However, this isn't Marisa's only flaw, as her low bases prevent her from contributing much at base without training in the Tower of Valni. Marisa also only joins with a D rank in swords, while she does have the very useful Shamshir with her, said sword can me traded to a better unit and without it Marisa is stuck with a steel sword for damage which noticably slow her down due to her low constitution of 5. Marisa has the choice between promoting to a Swordmaster or Assasin. Due to her low strength, it might seem natural to promote Marisa to Assasin in order to give her access to Silencer, however Silence is overly unreliable to be used consistently and the Swormasters +2 strength promotion bonus and +15 critical hit boost are much better. Marisa is also in competition for hero crests against Gerik and Joshua who are much better than Marisa by the time she joinsthe army. Overall, Marisa isn't very good and even ig given investemnt her lack of 1-2 rankg and a mount prevent her from contributing much at all.
