The Four Swordsman

Its a four way tie. Who is best?
Ayra v.s. Karla v.s. L!Marth v.s. Owain

AYRA
Pros:
-Regnal Astra
-Decent Bulk
-Good Speed/Attack
-Decent Base Kit
-Good weapon, not as good as slaying however

Cons:
-Low Res
-Her Special is all that’s keeping her afloat compared to the swordsman now.
-Requires HEAVY investment to take full advantage of her special and accel in arena

KARLA
Pros:
-The highest speed stat in the game
-Fantastic Base Kit
-Very Synergistic Weapon that gives consistent damage output
-High Attack

Cons:
-Poor Mixed Bulk
-Lacks powerful special

LEGENDARY MARTH
Pros:
-Good Mixed Bulk
-Great Speed
-Fantastic Special that boosts all teammates to effective +10 status and functions similarly to Regnal Astra
-Weapon Synergizes perfectly with Fire Emblem, absorbing all stats effectively super boosting marth to insane levels
-A good base kit that works anti-dragon, which is very valuable in an armored dragon meta
-Amazing support unit

Cons:
-Poor Res
-Require some investment to match Regnal Astra’s damage output

OWAIN
Pros:
-Extremely Good Base Kit
-Ridiculously powerful weapon that allows quick special Procing
-Powerful Special that perfectly synergizes with his weapon and deals straight forward damage
-Great defenses
-Good Speed

Cons:
-Low Res (Given)
-Blue Flame is one charge longer than Regnal Astra or Fire Emblem
-Blue Flame’s damage is straight forward, but still slightly misses Regnal Astra

Choose a fighter.

P.S. I think Marth is king.

I'm sure one of these 4 are certainly the best swor-

Mia.

I like karla and owain the most. Cant decide

you mean two swordsmen and two Swordswomen?

Owain, in my opinion. His Special Charge count hardly matters if you're using his Missiletainn since one attack from an enemy makes it ready to go and obliterate.

He doesn't require that much investment unless you're trying to change him from an enemy phase unit to a player phase unit, in which case his weapon might wanna get switched to something else.

Ayra and Marth (and maybe Karla) are better player phase units while Owain's better at being an enemy phase unit. With the addition of Atk/Def Bond, he can gain +10 attack and defense when near an ally, and he's able to kill blue units as well (not all of them of course, but a good number).

I use them all but as of late, I've had fun running karla galeforce build (+spe-hp). Never really used a galeforce unit before but she's the best for it due to consistent dps without a special. Some shenanigans when desperation kicks in. Used her in my tempest trials with adrift corrin (f), l. Lucina (future vision lol), and wings of mercy dancer (silvia).

This is a nice build.

Marth is a great team support flex
Karla and Ayra are your orko units
Owain is pretty good at enemy phase

Id say Marth for dragon advantage which can make up for bad res a bit and decent defense and speed to pull off enemy phase kills.

ewww plz, the only red swordsman(swordswoman) in my life is Soleil, now only if I had her at +10, don't mind the warth 3 just trying new build
