My opinion on the Serra/Priscilla archtype

Welcome! This post is to tell you my position on the Serra/Priscilla archtype. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's whether to use the priest or cleric you get in the beginning of the game or the level 3 troubadour that joins late. In FE7, I almost always use Priscilla. At that point my Serra is usually around level 8 so its not a big loss. Priscilla's stats are more than worth it (except defense). However, I will say that if your doing an HHM run, Serra may be a better choice. In FE8, you have Moulder, Natasha, and L'Arachel. I normally use Natasha, but I am playing through with L'Arachel right now and she's up there too. Moulder is mediocre. I find that my Natasha is around level 12 when I get L'Arachel and at that point, I don't think Rachy's worth it. FE9,10, and 11 don't have troubadours. So, that leaves us with FE13. This is a tough one to decide. Both Lissa and Maribelle are very good units for magic and healing purposes. On one side, Lissa will be around level 9 or so when you get Maribelle and you might not want to downgrade to a level 3 that may or may not be better than what you have. On the other side, Maribelle has better movement (useful for a healer) and better growths in the important things (magic, resistance, luck). Maribelle has the movement, Lissa has 5 more chances, but it really comes down to the RNG Goddess's verdict. Soooooo, until my next post!
