Underrated unit

Pretty self explanatory. Who's a unit you think is underrated and why? While I admittedly haven't used him in a long time, I'd have to say Arvis feels a little underrated. The ability to ploy all four stats AND act as a pseudo healer with recovery ring gives him a lot of utility outside of tanking green mages.

Tailtiu.

I feel Arvis is quite liked overal. More than some others.

Bartre feels to me underated.
His base hp and atk with what's basicly a 19 mt hammer.. And people think his refine is useless.

I also feel like NY!Corrin is often seem as a very meh character. Sure, he has no unique skills or stats, but his base kit works so damn well. He can give so much def/res when next to a tank.

Titania

High def mages like Henry, Boey and the Robins (not too sure about them, 29 isn't that much). I barely even see them! (Yeah F!Robin is a limited unit but we have grails now)

Hinata I think, after building this I wonder what’s worse. A huge loss of Fury fodder or a massive Ignis bomb...

I think the picture speaks for itself where Fury is concerned!

NY Corrin because his supportive abilities are hard to top, he can work more flexibly and be able to tank hits, and while he isn't the best, he should be higher than a lot of others.

Literally everyone who isn't armored or isn't considered "high-tier"

Even Henry?

Owltome henry is pretty neat as bait unit. Especially with close counter and close def.

Yes

Because of comment above

A lot of units. I definitely think Tier 3 is too low for Mia (I think she should be Tier 2), Caeda and Eirika are super easy to get and build up, Gerome is an underrated tank that has 38 base attack.

I feel that Shiro is an overlooked unit. He's Lukas but more expensive. But I feel like he's a lot more viable in the long run since he can reach more attack on retaliation and not have to rely on a Ignis or Bonfire bomb like Lukas does. He's one of the best infantry candidates for defense skills and weapons like CD, SS, QR, Reprisal Lance, and more. He's caried me through some tough maps with his bulk.

Shiro has the speed to avoid doubles and the res to take a magic hit (especially vs dragons if using close def). While Lukas might work better focussed on being a pure wall.

The biggest thing holding Shiro back is that he should be 4* and that his weapon really would like a refine.
I think he's got the potential of best lance infantry if he gets demoted or a refine.
Besides, I kinda like him as a characters. He's simple but likable, and his design is also great while being quite realisticly simple as well. Unlike some other fates designs which are good, but just a tad over the top.

Amelia.

Chrom and Brave Ike come to mind. Chrom's refine pairs well with his stats and Bike is just an overall good unit. I'm surprised he has dropped to tier 4 on this site.

I would like to say azama but he just isn't as tough as he used to be sadly.

Isn’t as tough? Oof, he’s been growing stronger this whole time...

Hah I still love him and use him as my main healer. Units and specials hit so much harder than they did before. He was a wall, kind of a fence to climb now.

Granted mine is unmerged at 40 def but nearly identical.

That's what guard is for

I'm aware.

I mean, to be fair on the B!Ike evaluation, he has some STEEP competition. Axes have 5 tier 1 units... like... come on!
He's a good melee unit, but with the current state of the game, he's just not favored in popular match ups. If the meta shifts away from Armor (Arena) / Horses (AR) he'll bounce back, like an infantry buff or making it so Beorc's Blessing counted towards ARMOR TOO.

Robin. Both of them

We'll see what the update will do to them

I swear if my Morgan's Best Boi/Gurl isn't getting less than a Tier 2 upgrade then I would write a heavily worded essay. (Probably 10 - 50 sentences long) on how it would upset me.

People are always saying how awful PA!Shigure is, but I use him as one of my mains, and I think he's pretty great.
