A Question about Durant, See inside for info! Options

[Yuka]

I'm not too fond of using Durant for some bizarre reason, but does he become essential later in the game?

Then I wouldn't bother stealing that item, or breaking it for that matter.

Because you want the enemy to have as high stats as possible, right?

But you get to use Milanor beginning at BF01, therefore it's actually quite hard to not get an untampered TEC stat because of the amount of chances you can get MVP.

There is no guarantee he will get the MVP. Kobun can get the MVP, and starting in BF02 you have another character in every battlefield alongside, or instead of, Milanor.

But you could always just steal the item for yourself during the battle. This removes the stat bonuses and effects on that enemy unit, and also allows you to use that item later for yourself.

We're discussing a situation where the item is unusable. It does not heal, and it is not equippable.

That example is not valid as Kylier isn't a permanent unit, I'm talking about the units which can actually level up. She's always popping in and out. Also, she has fixed stats during the battlefield. Her ability to fly is both good and bad depending on the situation.

How is it not valid? Since when were we talking about only permanent units? I thought we were talking about units with the same weapon types.

I didn't pick up that item in BF35, what was it anyway? However, because of big units having only 3 instead of the 6 during skirmishes, if you get criticaled, it's pretty much over.

I didn't pick up the item either, but, anyways. Remember, that even with the army quantity, it doesn't make a huge difference when you're still a bigger type of unit.

What I'm trying to say is, having two decently levelled spear users is pointless, but that's just the way I play it.

And I'm trying to dispell the idea.

At level 20 though, that'd mean you'd have picked up quite a few MVPs which would boost those below average stats significantly,

I thought Milanor got all the MVPs. :X

Even though they can't counter, that also applies to the enemy on the Hunter / Assassin's initiating attack which is very, very advantageous.

MKT, I'm showing how the Hunter's and Assassin's are NOT overpowered. For every huge advantage they have, they have an equally disadvantageous trait.

I can move my bow units out of Yggdra's union formation range to prevent them from being on the receiving end of an initiating attack.

Or to cause them to get raped solo, no Yggdra helping out.

Well, the item that will allow them to get Overkill only lasts a few maps. And I think there's only one, as opposed to the other elements.
Although, you do bring up an interesting point, after getting your own Fencer, there's only one story Fencer, and very few generics. But, wait. After you BF07, there's only two enemy Undines (the only enemies resistant to Ice).
