Best Wyvern Riders List # 5 - Cormag (Sacred Stones)

                        So unlike Panne, Cormag seems to be a character that most people thought would be on this list. They were right to think so. Cormag is a very solid unit in a very easy game. For the sake of time I will be talking about how Cormag performs on Ephraim’s route since he seems to perform better there anyway.

                       Like Dean Cormag starts out with way better offensive and defensive parameters than your Pegasus Knights who have been with your army for nearly the entire time (in the case of Vanessa). Here are some interesting facts and figures about his combat performance:

                       “14 str at base is way higher than what either Vanessa or Tana are going to have before promotion(for starters, Vanessa needs to be 20/1 to match Cormag's str base, at which point Cormag will have 22), and has a 55% growth and 27 cap just to overkill it. To give an idea on how good his base is, 9/0 Vanessa would need silver to match Cormag's atk with Iron, and 9/0 Tana would need the same to match his atk with Killer, and I highly doubt Nessie can use silvers by C10 anyway(Tana sure as hell is not. lol D lances in C9)


                         Defensively, he's about on par with 9/0 Gilliam, minus the part where Gilliam is going to be more around ~Lv13. 30HP/12def allows him to get 3HKO'd at worst by either of his DK compatriots, and is 6HKO'd or better from the reinforcement cavs in his joining map. It also allows him to swallow a hit from one of the fleets, and STILL have enough to take 1-2 more hits. As for growths, 85% HP is good, but 25% growth is pretty low for his class, though it's still better than the pegs(Vanessa needs to be 20/1 to match his def base for starters, at which point he has 43HP/17 Def.).” (Smiley Jim: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=30795&page=2)

                               Another really cool thing about Cormag is that he can promote upon recruitment. Heck, the man joins you with his own promotion item at a level where he can instantly promote. Upon promotion Cormag could have access to Pierce, which is the Sacred Stones version of Luna. It’s icing on the cake, I know, but it’s still a nice bonus. As you may have gleaned from the previous quote Cormag has some pretty nice base stats overall.

                             Cormag’s not without his issues though. His base speed could be better and like a good chunk of the wyverns on this list Cormag wishes that he could have joined earlier. His resistance also isn’t very good so keep him away from enemy magic users. He’s a tad underleveled, but this isn’t as big of an issue since he’ll have plenty of access to experience in this game.
