I love dragon units even if they come in late, the idea of using a dragon on your side is extremely powerful, for example look at awakening tiki or nowi both while not the strongest can end up as a powerful one to two range attackers but with how reclassing and how X weapon and flyers are it's easy to say their unique role as a dragon vanishes. Personally I feel more dragons units should appear more earlier for example like bantu and literally Corrin as even though they don't have the exact stats they can becoming very power

With engage archetypes and getting 4 dragons who grants powerful effects is extremely good and with tiki bracelet anyone could theoretically become that early game powerful dragon who grows rapidly, even if all breaths won't allow you to double the sheer power and effects makes up for it.

Part of what sours people to manaketes in the GBA-and-later era (when most NA players became familiar with them) is that ones before Awakening had non-renewable limited uses available to them, and a large amount of RPG-playing gamers are hoarders on limited use items (see: people beating FF games with 20+ elixirs still on hand "in case they need one later"), which is why the likes of Tiki, Fae, and Myrrh are less used, and why Awakening, where we can buy infinity of them, is the last one with true Manaketes (as after that is just Fates with any dragonstone users at all, being Corrin and Kana)

Tiki blowing up dragons in one attack was my inspiration for Tendaris in chapter 22 of Andaron Saga, and making his part of the chapter be balanced around that.

Fa and Myrrh are super interesting as "Consumable-Units." You want to use them to get them strong, and they get really good exp gains, but by the time you cap them out they are limited by their weapon durability. Pretty cool game design. I think a lot of newer players can get discouraged by this Logan's Loophole setup though. Bantu is a 15 defense gigachad in fe1, with an infinite use dragonstone. He's slightly nerfed in FE3 but he's still pretty useful, and can actually grow his stats with the star shards. In fe11 he's down to 12 total defense, and now he has to deal with the fact that everything doubles him and can crit him, because his weapon weight being low is no longer an advantage. And finally in fe12 the enemies have much stronger stats and he can't really keep up. It's a shame because it could be fun to try him out with the various other dragonstones the game lets you buy. Anyways, Bantu is still alive somewhere in Awakening, and that's crazy. He's lived through multiple mass extinction events

I did an fe6 HM ironman and I’m so glad I gave Fae a chance. I ended up going to Sacae, but because my Fae got some early defense levels, I had her tank all the nomads on those maps alongside Douglas. It made things so much easier for me. It made me fall in love with manakete units, and now I’ll almost always use them whenever I get the chance.

Gonna add Panne in here, joins a lot sooner than these units but doesn’t have the statistical superiority and doesn’t become a Dragon, but to me it’s close enough. While Panne doesn’t have over the top destructive power or outstanding bulk, she does have one claim to fame; speed. Now, 10 speed by then is less than Cordelia who is a Pegasus knight who actually struggles to double when she joins, but Panne can help double enemies by pairing up with them. Taguel is a class unique to Panne and her child, and boy does it give some juicy bonuses! One button and your unit gets a bonus of +3 strength AND Speed and even a +2 to skill because why not. She is the earliest unit to give a significant bonus to strength and speed, and the second female unit you ever get that gives bonus speed on pair up. Well, I think Frederick can boost you well, but on Lunatic you can’t just reduce Frederick to a stat backpack. If anything she’s his stat backpack except when feeding her kills. You can also give her bonuses to Chrom or Lon’qu or the Avatar, but I think Frederick is the way to go. He can get great bonuses with weapon triangle control, he doesn’t need much more than 3 speed to get to doubling for the first part of the game, and really things just line up super well. With cheap weapons Frederick can generally set up kills (helps him build up his axe rank anyway), swapping gives her a huge attack and bulk boost which helps her get to 20 speed sooner with her 70% growth, and in a few chapters you’ll have an A rank support which will boost the bonus to +5 strength, +4 skill, +5 speed, and you can get this without giving her 1 point of exp! I think she stands out on her own in combat, 70% speed growth with a 60% strength growth to back that up never hurt any unit in Fire Emblem, but this is Awakening where anyone can be grown to godhood. I think what differentiates her is a unique way to contribute right away!

Funny thing because me and my friend we just got through talking about how Dragons have been treated in the later fire emblem games and honestly I miss how we had dragon units from the first game up to awakening because they actually felt powerful and they really do made it feel like you have a cool asset in your Army. Unfortunately by the time we got to fates, 3 houses and engage, they really did not know how to do dragons whether they make the dragons look pathetic like in fates where they just look like wanna be Pokémon or you NEVER could use Rhea in Three Houses until Three Hopes a few years later or in Engage you get a dragon in name only but really you don't. Maybe it's because of new management or something but I don't know I just really miss having a powerful dragon in our army and especially if they were Adult Tiki.
