Your most used Lords in Heroes?

based on my hero merit list I have used (in descending order):
NY!Azura
L!Ike
B!Lucina
B!Lyn
LA!Roy

Though I somewhat recently got my first Marth and he is climbing the ranks! Any particular reason you don't count Robin as a Lord?

HAH all of the lords? FE 16 Has Lords too ( though not out yet)
JK

I would say Masked Marth( She's basically Lucina sooo..)and Micaiah cause Micaiah's SO GOOD!!!!.

Like Tandor, basing it off my Hero Merit List this are my top 5 Lords:

B!Roy
Ephraim
P!Azura/NYAzura (they are both at max andi count them as 1)
Exalt Chrom
Sigurd

Based on this list, the top five lords in Heroes I've been using are:

1. Hector, Just Here to Fight
A very solid character and has helped me a lot in many challenges including Arena Assault, Chain Challenges, Squad Assaults and Tempest Trials. And some Grand Hero Battles as well. He has great sense of humor in the main game (and other parodies not canon to the game, but still hilarious).

I expect Brave Hector to be just as badass as this variant.

2. Azura, Lady of Ballads
An absolute must-have dancer. Mainly because of her prf weapon that provides a powerful Atk/Spd/Def/Res+3 buff. Sure it's not much, but it does get the job done for many of my units. Offensively, she takes care of Effie, Nowi and many other blue units without issue.

I've been referring to as "Dark Azura" for as long as I can remember.

Despite the -Atk, she still hits hard thanks to Triangle Adept and Urdr.

3. Micaiah, Priestess of Dawn
I would argue that she is one of my favorite female lords in the game. Even though Celica is the other mage lord in the game, Micaiah has pulled me through a lot of challenges whereas Celica could not in the past.

Would surprise me very little if she does get a Legendary Hero status, but her third tier class is stunningly beautiful.

4. Ike, Vanguard Legend
Being one of my favorite male lords in the entire Fire Emblem franchise, and one of my secondary picks in Smash for Wii U, he is the man for almost any job. Despite not being one (not until later in Path of Radiance), he is rather solid overall.

My boy Ike is looking pretty good in Smash Ultimate, though. I can't wait to play as him when the game releases.

5. Lyn, Brave Lady
My initial pick for the CYL free summon. Powerful in many ways, she always scares me whenever I see one in the Arena and Arena Assaults. While I do not normally carry around a dedicated Raventome user, I still found viable counters for her.

Under my command, she has served me well in a full Horse Emblem team, along with Reinhardt, Ares and Frederick. She would pick off those that none of the gentlemen could handle safely.

She now has 5 alts. I expect to see some other characters that deserve an alt (especially non-lord ones). (I am also still looking for an ideal boon/bane Brave Lyn, but that is not my priority at this time.)

-----

On a sidenote, Robin is just as important as the rest of the cast in Awakening. (S)he dies, it's game over. [Edit: Now (s)he's on the list. lol]

I've expressed how I've used them, what they accomplished and why I like them other than just being "lords."

Does ayra count since she's a princess

Micaiah
Elincia
Leif
Lucina
Lyn

Celica (both sword and mage)
Ephraim (legendary hero, don't have the original Ephraim but I would use him too)
Eirika (both sword and mage)
Micaiah

B Lyn
Azura
Hector
W Robin
Lucina

Marth (summoner support and all the time), Leif and Masked Marth (TT), Azura and NY!Azura (don't have the performing arts one :( ),Elincia in my flier emblem and Ike in GHBs when I can't beat them and I use F2P guides. And THE ENEMY.

The one's I've most used are, in order (This is edited to mimic someone else's comment, love the way they structured this one)

1. Male Grima (Technically Robin)
He's on my primary team and is my Reinhardt/B!Lyn counter for the team, along with holding the spot of absolute powerhouse. I just run the standard vengeful fighter build but modified to work on Armor Emblem and with Fury. Nothing unusual here but he's an amazing unit.

2. NY!Azura

Another great unit, I use her on my 2nd most used team as the dancer and guidance user along with two other picks on this list, but she's this high because I also use her to train units. I've used her so much with the Guidance seal that I can't even imagine running that particular team without it. She's become integral to my strategy, and she's just great in general.

3. Brave Lucina

Easily one of my favorite lords, Brave Lucina clocks in at number 3 and holds another spot on my 2nd most used team. She's mainly there to partner with my Soleil (obviously not a lord) and buffs her to the point of obscenity. However, she's also my physical wall (I run Close Defense in the A slot because I had a spare Sigurd) and does the job quite well.

4. Miciaiah

She's an amazing mage who is also my B!Lyn and Reinhardt counter on my secondary team. I run a mixed phase build (DD + Desperation + Brash Assault) and also supports my Soleil. She takes care of many cavalry and armor threats with ease and uses Sacrifice to get into Desperation + Brash Assault range to decimate enemies without breaking a sweat. I even pulled her +Atk -Def after getting pitybroken twice on her first banner by the other two! (One of which I use with Male Grima :D)

5. LA!Hector

God I love this guy, but I also don't have space for him sometimes on my armor team because I generally use them for Tempest Trials (Gotta have that bonus unit :( ) But I did show him a lot of love. While I don't use it all the time, I foddered my spare Grima to him for Vengeful Fighter (maybe a mistake, but I don't really care cuz he's cool) and it works really well with Ignis + Bezerk Armads! I have pretty bad IVs (+Spd -Res I think, definitely +Spd T_T) but he still gets the job done really well! I'd use him more but I need those bonus units :(

Thanks for reading this far (If you did!) and I have to say I love ALL of these units! They're all incredible and add so much to my teams (Especially B!Lucina lol, 70 Atk Soleil without a boon is amazing) and I hope to continue using them!

I base my top 5 also simply on the hero merits:
1. Elincia - she has long been a key player on my flying teams
2. Brave Lucina - I picked her for my Brave hero
3. Ike - one of the earlier 5* characters so has seen a lot of use
4. L!Ephraim - does a lot of work in horse emblem and his blessing team
5. Marth - slightly surprising, but I've been using him a lot since Falchion upgrade

Honorary mention other Lucinas and Brave Lyn whom I'd probably used more had I gotten her earlier, but her star is on the rise I suppose. Normal Ike isn't really seeing that much use nowadays so I expect him to fall on the list.
