| Oyvoyvoyv said: The worst is FE11, where you can't even buy iron weapons at your base. I hardly ever fight with anything else than iron, so I have a ton of good items in the end (and a load of money).
Iron provides better defense, so I actually prefer it over steel/silver (in most cases). *Bows and magic are exceptions |
All you can buy at your base is Iron, you can't buy steel/silver at your base.
Iron doesn't provide any defense over Steel/Silver. If your unit is underpowered and looses speed points due to the item being to heavy, then yes switching to Steel/Silver hurts you.
All I use in FE11 is Steel any more due to the fact that it is cheap and most my units have strength of 10 or greater which is more than enough to weild any weapon.
However, I am also Dracoknight heavy since I am running 5 of them right now.
