Description Long time no draw.

This comic took me an AGE to colour and I kinda half assed it towards the end but you don't notice too much so it's ok.

Sothe from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, a pretty accurate description of what he was like in the beginning of the game compared to the end. Seriously. He's a Jaegan. It's not even funny when you get up to endgame and realise that you probably should have loaded him with all that bonus exp. because he actually can't damage ANYTHING anymore. Meanwhile Micaiah. (if you bless her Purge, she actually becomes an unstoppable force of nature)

My brother and I brainstormed lots of comics and I promise I'll start uploading some more later! Also, if anyone has suggestions they'd like in input, I'll be more than happy to consider!

Sothe has a good growth in Strength, but the problem is that the Whisper class has a low Strength cap.

Radiant Dawn kinda ruined Sothe as a character and as a unit. I liked him way better in PoR.

I'd like to point out that one of Sothe's knives in the second to last panel is head straight for his opponent's crotch if no one has noticed. Still amusing if nothing else, Sothe actually is usually good for me through out the entire game even in the end game he is a beast although not as much as Ike or Nephenee. If you have the gold just forge a Silver Knife for him or something and he'll do at least decent damage.

Well to be honest its been a while since I've played Radiant Dawn but yeah, I usually give Sothe Baselard have that blessed during the dragon stage and keep him near Michia for their support stats and let him got to work. I mean I knolk is WAY better being an assassin and all but you've been using Sothe since pretty much the begining, its kind of hard NOT to ignor him, and I also know that Sothe is no Ike (who is a beast in both Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn especially after you get his special sword) but have him near whoever you have him supporting and he'll hit almost every time. But hey thats just my experience and its likely different for everyone such as yourself. Anyways enough of my personal rant, sorry bout that its a bit of a bad habit of mine. Still great and funny picture dude.

Aww. Poor Sothe. He couldn't even find a shirt that fits him.

Whisper/Espion is a sucky class anyways.

But hey! At least he makes Part 1 easier and puts Beast Killers to good use.

He definitely makes the Dawn Brigade's part easier at the beginning but I just wish he wasn't a compulsory member at the end.

Like I said. I blame his class. Sure, there are times where some thieving utility is useful in Pt 4. But, his caps make me just ask "Why?" sometimes.

playing the game again recently and yeah, pretty much
Lekain's head = best thing ever, hate that guy!

I wonder why Sothe was so...not decent by the end
Considering they force you to bring him along
Micaiah is mostly the same for me, but that's probably cause I can never get her to lvl20 before she moves to her 3rd class and her defense and HP is always low, at least she can attack from a distance though

FireEmblemMewMew [2012-06-21 05:41:50 +0000 UTC]

So true. I was so dissapointed when he promoted. I thought he would get better, not start to suck! D: If he didn't have the plot-forced promotion, he might've been better.
Also, pfft. I love all the posters in the background, and Lekain's head, omg. It makes Micaiah look badass XD

Thank you so much for your comments!
I totally agree with Sothe there. He's pretty much useless in endgame and even more so since he's forced into your final team! That spot could have gone to better units!
And I did like making the posters, with the help of my brother and my friend, we managed to brainstorm lots of Begnion Motivation posters!
(my brother's sadistic side forced me to add Lekain....)

No prob, man.
I know, right? Sothe's spot could have been filled by someone better. Its not fair.
It adds a nice humorus touch. I wonder if there were actual posters like that in Begnion... haha.
