What do you think is the best starting hero among the combination of heroes? Why?
In general in FE LH, I found that the top hero to start out with were mages as relatively few things had resistances to spells. Commander was arguably a worthy choice, followed by Defender. I generally did not like Warrior and Assasin.
In SK, the best ones to use are those that can deliver the most damage to monsters without the sovereign's assistance (A vital trait in the early game). Good examples would be Tandis and the dwarf hero of the tinkerer.
Frankly I think all except the cleric sovereign's hero are good to start with.
Yeah, the Archer, Peregan, really sucks. He does not seem to have any effective AoE-skills that is worth using compared to the other heroes. I have not played him since beta 3.
Keplin the Mage also needs some buffing in the form of some AoE-skills - either some damage or support (heal etc.). Maybe an innate Ball of Power (aka Fireball with magic).
The tyrant hero, Naphaz, also lacks something after his Dark Spread has been nerfed. Now (in beta 4) you can only use Dark Spread every 5 rounds. Unfortunately that sucks because either you do not survive that long or the battle is already over due to your other main units.
At least with Tandis, Varda and Drogon you have fair chance of surviving and dealing damage. I just want Varda to change the charge she has with something better in the form of wide charge e.g. charge with 2x8 area of effect.
I think I like Tandis the best, although the Dwarf is also pretty good so far.
I like the Ranger, personally. He's definitely not the most powerful but he's fun to trot around with a bunch of archers and a couple of tanks and decimate the opposition when he gains the pre-fight free attacks.
