User blog:Kruggov/TearRing Saga: Utna Heroes Saga - Character Analysis

Here I will discuss different characters from TearRing Saga. Hope that this will help.

Format is Name - Base Class -> Promoted Class - My Rating - Comments.

Main Characters
Runan - Knight Lord -> Lord - 7/10 - Good character, with solid base stats, solid growths, some nice skills including Rising Dragon and Charisma, and exclusive access to Rapiers. Runan's main problems are A: Low movement, considering there are a lot of outdoor chapters on his route, and B: Lack of opportunities to train, thanks to aforementioned low movement. Still, Runan starts good and avoids pitfalls like Leif's below average stats or Roy running headfirst into a level cap 5-6 chapters before he can be promoted.

Enteh - Cleric -> Mist Dragon - No rating - Staffbot/10. Like other staff users, Enteh doesn't really need high stats to be good. Her Mist Dragon form is only usable in Chapter 37, where her main uses are creating some breathing room and distracting Rakis, so that said it doesn't make Runan extra crispy. She permanently leaves after said chapter.

Katri - Cleric -> Fire Dragon - No rating - Enteh copy, except she gets Summon and a usable dragon form right off the bat. Basically a staffbot that is occasionaly used if a nuclear option is needed. Keep in mind that Katri doesn't get experience from fighting as a dragon, and that she leaves permanently after Chapter 23.

Holmes - Bow Hero -> Hide Hunter - 9/10 - No, don't discard Holmes just because he can only use bows at start - this man is a beast. He has very good stats where it counts, both base and growth-wise. His bows also allow him to really put the hurt on enemies, and that Longbow he starts with can go a loooong way towards making Holmes a murder machine. Holmes also has thieving utility at start, thanks to Pick. And his promotion fixes whatever problems he has, by giving him bows, ability to finally put Rising Dragon use, along with Charisma. Definitely use.

Sennet - Prince - No rating - Gotoh character. There is little to say about Sennet, except that using him is mandatory to defeat Gerxel. So just use him and don't overthink things.

Tia - Leda Princess - No rating - Another Gotoh, except she doesn't even join at start, and it's possible that she only fights Gerxel and his Mogalls. Again, just use her and don't think much about her.

Mounted Knights
Kreiss - Cavalier -> Commando Knight - 7/10 - Kreiss is not bad, he is not too good, he's just... there. His bases are average, his growths are OK, his skills are neat, but not gamechanging, and his promotion is useful for indoor battle, but otherwise average. Kreiss is just average overall, though he has quite a few supports. Use him if you want to recruit Leteena later.

Arkis - Cavalier -> Commando Knight - 6/10 - Arkis is, like Kreiss, average, though Kreiss is better of the two. Arkis' main proble is his low Strength growth, which cuts into Arkis' combat potential. Like, Kreiss, Arkis has a lot of supports, but they don't really help him.

Narron - Cavalier -> Gold Knight - 10/10 - Now that's an awesome character! Narron starts out a bit weak, but has good growths, and Elite means you can quickly level Narron to level 10 and promote him to Gold Knight. Which means about +5-7 points to anything but Magic and Luck, and 3 new skills (Continue and Big Shield on promotion, Blazing Wind at Lvl 12). With that advantage, Narron can stomp through about half the game, and only slow down for indoor chapters or when near endgame. If only all growth characters were that easy to make godly...

Estelle - Cavalier -> Paladin - 5/10 - Case in point. Estelle starts very weak, thanks to her pathetic base stats. Yes, she eventually learns Elite... which is at level 20, long past the point where it would've made a difference. Oh and she doesn't have enough weapon level to use Iron weapons at base, further damaging her start. Thankfully, her promotion to Paladin solves some of her problems, so if you get her to Lvl 10 early, that is a viable choice. Estelle CAN become good, she just takes quite a bit of effort and luck to do so.

Raffin - Commando Knight -> Dragon Knight - 8/10 - Raffin is your average Oifey character with good bases, passable growths and - waitasec, he can promote to Dragon Knight? He can, and that promotion turns an average Oifey into a flying tank that will retain his usefulness throught the game. Even indoor chapters don't really slow Raffin down as the stat loss is negligible, and he retaing his Lance usage. Even better, you don't have to wait half a game until he promotes - the event happens very ealy into the game, which adds to Raffin's value.

Sun - Cavalier -> Black Knight - 9/10 - Fem!Narron is the best way to describe Sun - a bit of a weak start, but absolutely explosive potential, and requiring little effort to draw out said potential - basically use a ☆Strength Staff on her, and have her kill as many Mogalls during Chapter 16 as you can, and she's all set. Her only strike when compared to Narron is slightly weaker promotion - otherwise she's just as good, if not better, than he is.

Mintz - Black Knight - 8/10 - Mintz starts good, with great bases and Charge, but his growths are average at best. He is best used as filler, in case you need another strong mounted unit, but other cavaliers will eventually surpass him. There is little more to say.

Loffaru - Kings Knight - 6/10 - Loffaru starts incredibly powerful, but his stats are still lower than his level might suggets, and his growths are pitiful. Still, Loffaru pulls his weight as a filler quite well.

Rina - Cavalier -> Paladin - 2/10 - Rina, you should've been a mage, with that 40% magic growth! Unfortunately, Rina is a cavalier with 10% Strength/Defense growths, which doesn't bode well for her. At all. Even worse, Rina joins at Lvl 1 with pathetic bases in anything but Luck, past the point where you can freely train. Rina IS salvagable, thanks to Elite, growth boosting ☆Tome of Salia and ☆Tome of Reeve and massive 18 luck base but it takes effort and resources that some people may try to allocate elsewhere.
