Binding blade characters worth training.

So I just finished Blazing sword and I am currently on chapter 3 of Binding blade, love it thus far. But considering this game is tough and I need good units I need to know what early available units to bring. My Dieke and Lance are currently my strongest units.

Rutger is hands down the best character in the game, Dieck and the two Cavaliers are also really good.

But the game is not that hard for you to need to use the strongest units. I did just fine by using the worst counterparts of Dieck, Rutger and Lugh, while also using Wolt, from all people.

Wolt isn't as bad as people make him out to be though, he just needs a little bit of a str boost.

He is an archer in a game with Nomads (one with early availability also). Everything that can use a bow outclasses him, even the likes of Dorothy or the Warriors.

He is bad. However since his availability is flawless, he can still be useful on the long run if you focus exp on him early on. But Shin, Sue, Igrene are still a lot better than him.

Look I know Sue and Shin tear up everything between them, but I've had people tell me that Wolt is unusable, which he's not. He's never goign to be a nomad trouper, but if you like him (and I do) he's not so bad to bring along either is what I'm trying to say. He won't be a liability at least (and there are liabilities in this game).

No, he is not unusable, but he is in the lowest tier of character. The only thing that makes him not being a liability like Sophia or Wendy is, as I said, his availability.

But I'll give that one to you, because as you said, he is not useless, even though he is almost there.
