That's why I think Mercenary is on par with Hero. Hero has the cooler jump, but Mercenary has the little sword wag where I can just picture them giving a smug grin at the enemy before obliterating them off the face of the earth Just a little "tsk, tsk" as the last thing you see before you die

Man one underappreciated animation was Eliwood base crit. The sword twinkle is so good. Also, the sniper crit animation is really clean for a twirl crit, it makes the pullback of the bow seem devastating. Sage and Wyvern Lord should be A but that's just because I love those classes.

The way Eliwood jumps back and turns around is a very underrated aspect as well
@carstan628 ай бұрын
The only reason they stuck Eliwood in C tier was because they watched his immediately after putting Lyn in A and before watching any of the lackluster standard classes. Oh and Hector got put higher because everyone loves Hector regardless of the fact that most of his crit animations are the most minor changes compared to his normal ones.

If you watch closely, you see that Hector Is right handed, he uses his axes In his right hand. But with Armads, he usually uses the axe with his LEFT hand, only changing to the right as he's about to strike. Either ya boi contains himself with Armads by using it on the left hand and only unleashes it's power during the crit... OR he's actually left handed and throughout the whole game he was *HOLDING BACK!*
