kradeelavsomething i'd love to do one day is to make a four-way chart about how the FE series has this interesting metagame as far as two axis of (damage you and the foe deal) (damage you and the foe can take).
like for a real example - I'm sort of stuck in this 3H VW maddening playthrough (i'll figure it out eventually lol) because classing everyone as snipers with an innate brave bow was the only way i could reliably damage/2HKO foes close to endgame when it really matters. jesus fuck everyone's a tank. in FE:H deleting a foe is not the problem.the problem is bloody surviving the enemy phase against a decked out PvP team that is a sheer wall of nukes.
and even more interesting - in PoR: EN hard i get the feeling your own units are those tanks because it takes a suspiciously long time for the enemy to whittle the health down, even in hard mode - eh fuck it here's the chart
like FE:H has a very different "feel" to PoR even if it's not as easily classified as "harder" or "easier". funny thing too - POR JP maniac was no joke. holy shit zihark was barely usable (even after spoiling him on basically half the statups) because he'd just go bloody 'tink tink tink' against the generals that were suddenly a threat. Jill/Titania were my two MVP's there because suddenly axes were the one thing that killed stuff.
bonus wannabe chart: (likewise also with the weapons triangle: an easy example would be how RD:Hard literally nullified the weapons triangle, meanwhile FE:H leans *extra* hard into it to the point that you absolutely need to have one of each color on your team in any kind of harder map. I'm actually glad in retrospect that FE:H did that; it gives some units a spotlight to shine as a "green killer""blue hard counter" etc versus just a straight tier list where the top echelon was just broken to any counters.)
