    There's a few Knight of Lodis Let's Plays on UA-cam, but very little long-form content of this variety. Great work!
    One thing I absolutely *Adore* about Knight of Lodis and how it became one of my all-time favourite games is the Emblem System and how Characters change Classes via the Emblems they attain, their Alignments, and their stats. It can be difficult to get used to at first, and unfortunately the game doesn't really give you much to go on, but once you understand the system, the level of satisfaction it has on replays really isn't matched by many other games I've played. It just makes sense to have your Units grow due to the Emblems they gather and the Stats they have allowing them to become who they can be. Special Abilities of Monster Classes are locked behind Levels, but nothing else is. And you can change Classes freely, allowing you to mix up your Army for whatever you need them to do in the moment.
    But my favourite part is how well balanced it all is. The Fliers are OP af until you get Warp Rings, Flight Rings, Warp Shoes, and Flight Shoes, then everybody is on an even playing field. Many tactics games of this type punish low Movement Units hard, and to a certain degree KoL does as well, but unlike almost all other games of this type, it allows you to put these items on them and then the whole crew is allowed to move unimpeded. It's great.
    My favourite memory of this game is replaying it about a little over a year ago and only using the Story Characters, a Dragon, and Deneb. The start of the game is brutal, and you only play with a full squad after Eleanor joins. But even then, when you take on the castle, even after recruiting everybody, you still don't have a maximum of 16 Units. It was a great challenge, and really opened up my eyes on just how fun a game can be. You can hire a whole separate Army and never use the Story Characters, you can exclusively use the Story Characters, you can train and grind for Emblems, you can choose to use or not use Quest Mode. You're allowed to deliberately overlevel or underlevel. The breadth of true choice on display is fantastic and fun to play through every time. Fantastic game.

    It is awesome that someone is talking about this game . I agree with this tierlist for the most part.
    HOWEVER, I don't get why you would place Euphaire below Sirens being that she has better growth rates and the same access to spells, is there something I am missing?
    Also I feel like you are overselling the Angel Knights a bit, they are as strong as regular knights and can fly, sure, but their spells are not that good. They can heal undead units, so that only bennefits the Lich and damage MP, which is somewhat situational. Opposed to the knights that can heal anyone or shoot Lightning Bows. So they gain movement but lose spell utility, I'd say they are about equal and angel knights are deffinitely worse than Rictor, Lich, Cybill and Deneb. Fun fact: apparently you can get bane Angel Knights by using an Urn of Chaos, it doesn't really change what they can do though

    I guess one good thing about Dragon Tamer is that it saves you the trouble of getting Necromancy. That's how I got Zombie Dragon. However, Zombie Dragon was weak in combat and I didn't see anything much special other than the breath.
    Either way, recruiting one easily helps getting Grozz Nuy's emblem which is best on Vrtra Dragon. +2 to courage to our Dragon and -2 to enemy's fear. Basically Vrtra Dragon will do 50-80 damage per shot.

    KoL was my first Tactics Ogre and it made sure Dragoon would forever be my favorite class in the series. That gold armor just looks amazing, they THROW their sword when finishing off enemies, plus they are really REALLY solid fighters in this one. I recently picked up the game again and made Allos a Dragoon as soon as possible. Very satisfying seeing my favorite class actually be good.
    When I got LUCT way later and saw many people say Dragoons aren't worth it, that was quite the bummer honestly (yeah, I gave way too much credit to others' advice, because the game kicked my butt big time at the time). Still, returning to the series this year, I made it a point to use Dragoons and they are actually pretty neat. But, KoL Dragoons still feel the best and not just because of nostalgia.
    Also got a bunch of dragons on my current run, just to satisfy my monster collection itch. When my first one suddenly turned into a Vrtra, that was HYPE, as I played without a guide and had forgotten about dragon evolution. Became one of my strongest members. I actually managed to recruit a zombie dragon by sheer luck too. They are neat, but in the last couple maps, they can get instakilled by Banish (I think that's the spell), which kind of takes a lot of their luster.

      @@CoffeePotato DID Dragoons get buffed in PSP? I'm always under the impression Dragoons in the PSP remake are kind of underwhelming when doing anything but monster slaying - at least by other peoples' opinions. I found them perfectly serviceable as a general frontliner (Rampart Aura + Spears too!) but never as noticeably strong as in KoL.
      Might just be me having a hard time comparing the balance of different games though.

  • @Thomas-qc9xl
    @Thomas-qc9xl 3 роки тому +3

    Bruh, wizards with long bows? Staffs and wands increases their INT which in turn powers their spells, which is the entire reason you bring them. In the every early stages of the game it's a good idea to give them a short bow because they can wield it with a staff, but later on you wanna switch it out for a shield or an extra accessory.
    I'm also glad you moved ninja to B tier, but I think you still underplayed their usefulness. They are without a doubt the most generally useful unit in the game, sporting a free ranged attack in addition to one damage spell. They don't just have good movement, but the HIGHEST movement in the game, and can close in on enemy archers and casters no problem. Their high AGI stat growth is also the highest for any human class in the game which makes them the best at both hitting and dodging things. They have equal STR growth to the foot solider and the Knight requires both STR and AGI stats to be above 50 for a promotion, so I ninja can get to knight much faster than foot soldiers, and thus get the character to a blade master that much faster as well.
    I don't think it's fair to put the witch in the same class as garbage archers either. They are at least as useful as the Wizard and Cleric, I'd give them C tier, but D tier is also agreeable. Charm can be really good and support spells are useful as well. I agree giving them a bow is a good idea since they actually have high AGI stat growth, but the lower STR score means they're still outclasses as an archer by, well, the archer, but that's not why we bring them anyway. I also think the requirement for their emblem is rather trivial.

    • @CoffeePotato
      @CoffeePotato  3 роки тому +1

      There's a few reasons.
      A- Yes. Wizards with longbows are fun, and funny. Optimization is neat when it's needed, but seeing an old man dunk on a dragon with a longbow is a victory condition of its own.
      B- Ninjas are good, but due to damage rubber banding, they tend to be easily squashed towards the frozen half of the game.
      C- Witches are one of my favorite classes in all of these games, I know how tricky they can be, but they hold the same spot as the Archer for me, since you're almost always taking an easy, reliable class, and downgrading them with an emblem requirement. The Witch also is a bit of an adventure to get. Maybe I'll do the Ogre Battle series for KoL, it'll be so much easier to do... 🤔

KoL has a sort of rubber banding in place to make sure you're always doing at least alright, but trying to prevent some of the crazy stuff. Thus why the Speedrun basically involves some quantum mechanics nonsense. "We need to kill that archer. Quick, set the swordmaster on fire, fire him through a wormhole while that guy increases the ambient air temperature and a fairy makes out with that other guy! DAMN.

    mmmm.... Gotta disagree with you on some of these. The Ghost for example. If you kit them out properly they're damn good as an auxiliary unit. Highly mobile with useful spells to harrass enemies with. Especially since they bypass magic defense. The gremlins are E tier I reckon. Damn things lack the versatility of fairies and die from a wet fart. Mermaids ought to be C tier. Yes, water is scarce now and then, but there are a fair few maps where they do outshine other units. Gorgons can be A-S tier imo. As for multiplayer? Gamefaqs and several Discord servers have folks willing and able to engage in that, 'any way you can'.

      I agree with the Ghost arguments, same movement range as a Hawkman, but can teleport instead, making it a very mobile unit,
      slap a snapdragon on it and another mobile unit temporarily to quickly snipe a boss and finish maps if you want (you get 2 snapdragons before the end of chapter 3)
      Along with Lich (and Lesser Deamon), they are the only classes that can use Enfeeble, which deals a large amount of fixed damage against the final boss, also comes with the 2nd highest defense of human class, only behind the Lich.
      The only downside is that it has worse atk stat than the archer, but better than spellcasters
      Yea, Gremlins kinda sux, 5 move vs Birdmen 6 and fairies 7, no ranged skill like the other two or the awesome turn refresh skill that the fairy has, but not sure if being worse than two A tier class is worth being dropped down all the way to E,
      it can still fly with a snapdragon to snipe a boss
      Mermaids also have snow walking, so that's another reason for it to go up
      (at least B tier looking at the list, I rather use this class than the B tier Cerberus or Naga for the late game snow maps, it's a worse valkyrie, but that's an S tier class)
      What's the reasoning for Gorgon being A-S tier? I see poor mobility and a wait of 3 turns for it's 30 SP special skill. While the infinite range is nice, it is not very reliable or accurate.
      Would like to know the arguments for A-S tier, I'm willing to change my opinion about them with sufficient reasoning. Do you bring like a group of them to cast multiple evil eyes on turn 3 to make it more reliable? I tested most class with just 1 of it in team, so i don't know the reliability of using a group of Gorgons
      (There are actually a lot of classes in the video list that I think should be moved around, with arguments to back them up, but not sure if i should go into further detail)

    Disclaimer: I have never played this game (but I look forward to when I do which is likely soon).
    When determining tiers, how high is the dichotomy between tiers? The lack of an F Tier shows it may not be super high
    A good example is in Super Smash Bros Brawl, where the character(s?) in S Tier are essentially so far above the rest of the cast they might as well be D or F Tier exclusively. The opposite would be Smash Bros Ultimate, where (arguably) every character outside the bottom 3 or 4 in F Tier are viable and on a close-ish playing field.
    The dichotomy between S and D in Ultimate is closer to the Dichotomy of S- and A+ tier in Brawl.

      I'd say they're all viable, it's just more difficult for some. Like I've done Fairy Only Ironman before, and it was fine. The exceptions would be the aquatics, so Mermaids and Octopi, but only because the second half of the game has almost no water in it. They lose 50% or so on every exchange out of water, and vice versa, so they tend to get cleaned by absolutely everything once winter hits.

      It's nice to see how well balanced many SRPGS are! I haven't played many, but the few that I have played (namely Wargroove and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance) were also well balanced (minus the water in Wargroove which was so broken competitive players just ignore or ban it.)
      As an aside before I start playing, how well is the game centered around defense vs evasion?
      I dropped FFTA because of how ridiculous evasion is (it outclasses defense.) Thieves had ~70% evasion (IIRC). The basic accuracy raising move was legitimately OP because of this.
      It wasn't really satisfying when I could play the same match twice (in the same exact way) and have two very different results due to evasion.
      Regardless, thanks for the reply!

    • @CoffeePotato
      @CoffeePotato  2 роки тому +1

      Thank You! I'd disagree on a big chunk of that, though. Spears are arguably the strongest weapon type in general in KoL, barring Snapdragons, plus you're required to bring the one with you to the last fight. Valks are best at shredding stuff up at the front, but they're not hindered by snow, they boost the stats of nearby make characters (making them optimal for the double spear strat with a dragoon especially), and they're on the bulkier end to boot. They're just good at so many things that I'd argue they're the strongest female unit overall.
      That said, on grinding...I'm currently just about wrapped up with a solo run that never took a single grind battle or did anything extra. Grind doesn't get you much in this game, but emblems and good positioning matter a ton.

      @@CoffeePotato and sure mages and clerics aren't physically bulky, they are not meant to go melee as they have enough range to deal damage while being safe anyway and the enemies in the game will most of the time focus Alphonse so you just need to position them wisely and they won't even take a hit during the stages. Also they DO can take some magic spells, Wizards and Clerics make a great wall against summons as each hit won't do more than 15 damage on them while dealing almost 30 damage on your other characters (if not more). Not to mention the Wizards damage early game is stupid, while your characters are dealing 30 single target damage they are dealing like 60 area damage and Clerics are almost a must have if you don't want your Knights to lose their turn healing your units a small amount of HP single target. And last but not least your Wizards and Clericss can become a Siren, a Lich or a Priest later, 3 great classes to have around, while beasts will stay a useless beast the whole game. And while beasts are bulky, they don't do a lot of damage, their special attack need to charge 3 turns and don't even do that much damage (even less in the late game), so the only thing they will be doing is tank but Knights make WAY superior tanks as they can sustain infinite amounts of damage thanks to their healing spell if they need to, beasts only have their own HP so they will force you to have a unit to heal them again. Beasts are just terrible, I'd rather have an archer because even they can learn Lachesis and do something useful.
