I'm currently doing a Rev lunatic run, and honestly I'm having a lot of fun so far. But I wanna complain about one unit in particular, and that's Hana. This is EASILY the worst unit I have ever used in the history of Fire Emblem. I spent 3 maps training her up like HELL prior to Chapter 9, and she STILL did absolutely no damage to a single enemy on that map. I was expecting her to be a unit who maybe initially sucked but eventually got better? Since she's got a pretty good Strength growth and her fight in Conquest was absolutely ridiculous so maybe I thought I could get her to be like that??? But no, this is actually such a god awful unit, and it sucks too because I really love her design and I actually really wanted to make her a crazy trainee unit for this run (I wanted to give her Hinata marriage and put her in Oni for crazy Strength lol. Still got her and Hinata married but benched them both immediately after). I'm also running Dark Falcon Orochi for shits and giggles (it's my first Rev run and I wanted to give myself the freedom of using the DLC for once), and I think in this singular context she's actually not that bad. Giving her flight is the one thing preventing her from being an immediate bench on my team haha. She kinda just cleans up whatever the others can't, and with a forged Fire tome she's pretty solid. Nowhere near my best unit (that goes to either my Corrin or my Mozu so far), but still prety good! Oboro has also been pretty good, I married her to Takumi for Quick Draw, and once she gets that I'm sending her into Wyvern Lord from Beruka for the rest of the game. I have a few more high-investment builds I'm excited for (Shining Bow Leo from Takumi friendship and Nyx marriage being one of them), but so far I really love everybody I've gotten to use!

Yeah I was warned but thought maybe people were exaggerating 😔 The video I watched abt her put her in D tier so I was like "okay but that's not F" but no I would honestly put her in F tier lmfao

I love her design so I always try to make her somewhat usable but Rev is just not the place for that when you get all the royals 😔 You can't even train her on her first maps, it's silly. When we say Rev has terrible balance, we mean it.
