This is the (I think) final part of my discussion of problems with efficiency. While I'm not actually talking about problems with efficiency in this part, I am going to make a tier list without efficiency as a metric to show how tier lists can still be good even without efficiency.

Fallout 3 no se encuentra el ordinal 42. For some background reading, check out these posts:
Part 1 (why efficiency is flawed): https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/4ud5wf/a_different_way_to_tier_units_why_efficiency_is/ Part 2 (why efficiency as used in tier lists here is flawed): https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/4v9cji/problems_with_efficiency_part_2_efficiency_must/
So the only metric I'm using here is the following:
Reaper license key import. Combat potential = killing potential (the number of units a unit can kill) + survival potential (the number of hits a unit can take)
Solutions for non-trivial problems:
I don't really know what happened to the FE13 tier list in this sub, I can't find it on Google. I would have liked to compare it to this tier list I am making now, but oh well.
The names inside tiers are in order from best to worst. I assume Hard and not Lunatic mode since tbh Awakening LM is kinda messed up and not very well designed. Renown is allowed up to Celica's Gale. No children.
God Tier: Robin (F), Robin (M)
For obvious reasons, Robin is at the very top since Robin can solo the game in less than 2 hours with Chrom support. If you just pair up Chrom with Robin, have Robin get every kill in every map, Robin will be invincible in Chapter 1. Then reclass to Mercenary ASAP, promote to Hero for Sol, then reclass to Sorcerer, get Nosferatu ASAP, and you're invincible and the game cannot be lost. The gap between M and F is small. Both can duo the game in exactly the same way with Nosferatu + Sol, but Chrom can marry Robin F which is a plus, and Robin F has better killing potential thanks to being able to become a Dark Flier.
Demigod Tier: No one
Might seem weird to have an empty tier, but there is such a huge gap between Robin and everyone else that I thought it was necessary.
Top Tier: Sumia, Tharja, Frederick, Cordelia, Miriel, Panne, Henry, Olivia
Sumia has excellent availability, and with Tonics, marrying Frederick and forges, she has excellent killing potential and her reliability isn't too bad either. Tharja takes a bit of leveling to become nearly invincible with Nosferatu, but once she does she can become a mini-Robin. Frederick has an excellent earlygame, a good midgame and a meh lategame. Basically the same reasoning for Sumia is used for Cordelia, but her availability is bad and she can't take advantage of marrying Frederick like Sumia can. Miriel can also become a mini-Robin, but she is kind of a liability early on due to her low killing and survival potential and needs quite a bit of training. Panne is excellent if she reclasses to a Wyvern Henry has not so good availability but he can use Nosferatu immediately. Olivia is still great in this kind of tier list because she allows, for example, Sumia to cover more distance to kill more units, or Sumia to go and help someone and prevent them from dying. She can increase combat potential of other units in various ways.
High Tier: Anna, Sully, Stahl, Tiki, Nowi, Chrom, Lon'qu, Cherche
As far as I recall, Anna has good combat, access to staves and can open chests, which is really important for a tier list like this one. Sully and Stahl are high up since they have good move and can kill stuff well when trained. I've personally never played with Tiki in HM, I'm just theorizing here. If her killing/survival potential isn't as good feel free to correct me. Nowi is good with training. Chrom has great availability, and Lon'qu with his early Killing Edge is ridiculous, and a reclass will help him out a lot later on too. Cherche has flight and high move.
Fire Emblem Awakening Best Team
Mid Tier: Say'ri, Libra, Basilio, Flavia, Gaius, Gregor, Lissa, Vaike, Maribelle
Fire Emblem Awakening Class Tier List
Say'ri is good at killing stuff early on iirc. Libra has good bases and access to staves. I've always thought that Basilio and Flavia were underrated since they are pretty good when they're around. Plus Basilio has Rally Strength. They just have bad availability. The rest are just meh.
Low Tier: Kellam, Donnel, Ricken
Kellam's only use is good pair up bonuses. Donnel is good once he gets going with Aptitude, but he has a horrific start. Ricken is not worth training unless you LTC.
Bottom Tier: Virion
His killing potential is horrific since he has no enemy phase combat due to being stuck to bows. His survival potential is also bad. I think it's pretty intuitive that he is the worst unit in the game.
This tier list is very likely to have a bunch of mistakes so feel free to correct them! Thoughts?

This was based on 's tier list, only it's for Awakening instead of Fates. This is based on how much I like certain Fire Emblem Awakening characters.
THIS IS NOT A LIST OF THE BEST UNITS. THIS IS ONLY LISTING WHICH CHARACTERS I LIKE. This list doesn't include Robin, so sorry if you wanted him/her. I will be arranging them the same way he did. S: The best of the best. My absolute kings. I would marry them in a heartbeat if I was compatible and able, or I would be best best best friends with them. Contains Stahl, Virion, and Inigo. A: I really love these characters. Regardless of unit strength, I'm definitely guaranteed to use them in my army. Contains Nowi, Noire, Brady, Anna, Owain (with a weird hair color. >.>), Olivia, Priam, Gregor, Henry, Frederick, and Gangrel. B: Characters I like, but am not crazy about. I could like them for a variety of reasons. Contains Sully, Kellam, Say'ri, Gaius, Walhart, Cynthia, Yen'fay, Morgan, (both genders) Vaike, Emmeryn, Basilio, Aversa, Tiki, Miriel, Lucina, and Laurent. C: Indifferent. I have no strong opinion on these characters, and I neither like them nor dislike them. Contains Chrom, Ricken, Libra, Sumia, Lon'qu, Panne, Yarne, Tharja, Cordelia, Donnel, Flavia, Lissa, Nah, Kjelle, and Gerome. D: I dislike these characters. They have something that irritates me, but not enough to be hatred, or they could be just boring. Contains Cherche. E: Strongly dislike these characters. I can hardly find anything to like about them, and I'll never use them. Contains Severa. F: The absolute worst character in the game. I despise her with all my heart. Contains Maribelle. What do you think? Who would you rank from best to worst? Agreements? Disagreements? If you need explanations on specifics, just comment, and I will explain. Hope you love it!
