Who is the Better Bow User in PSIII?

Since Bows are sadly limited to only PSIII, there's only two choices here: Laya or her daughter, Gwyn. Once again, taking everything into account with these characters, who do you deem to be the better bow user? The lovely Laya, sister to tragedy, or Gwyn the psychic?

I choose Laya. Gwyn didn't really have any purpose in the story aside from that one sequence at the beginning of her generation. Laya at least had two important sequences.

I seem to recall some problem with Gwyn's techs being weak, too.

That's not true...Laya did need some replacement.

Yeah, she may start out with straight 7's for each tech level, but they hardly increase when her levels go up.

I voted for Laya, since she's the better character. I do like Gwyn more, but as Thoul said, her techs were weak.

I too go for Laya. It was a shock to find out she was Laya's treasure, and she's much better in combat than Gwyn. BTW, in looking in the rom, mr2 discovered that Gwyn's Techs NEVER go up! That's a huge minus for poor Gwyn.

That's not necessarily true. Her techs do go up...very slowly. And I mean very slowly. Then again, she's only half Layan...still, the daughter of Laya should be a little stronger in the tech department.

Perhaps the next time I play through, I can post my findings here?

Sure, post them here! It's a minor plus for Gwyn. MINOR!

I went for Laya. After all, she's a major character in one my series. You have admire the woman who wakes up after a 1000 years, more than ready to kick butt, or the character of a woman who has no qualms fighting against evil alongside the son of the man who rejected her for a woman he barely knew for more than two seconds.

Yeah, that must have been a really awkward introduction. Especially when you consider that Laya went back into cold sleep, so the rejection was probably still fresh in her mind. I wonder what the reactions would be when Laya sees her old traveling companions again.

Interesting poll, since bows are about the most craperoo weapons in all of PS. I'm going with Laya, since her stats are better and Gwyn seems like an afterthought. ("Hm, we need a bow user for this generation, but what if Nial marries Laya II? I know! We'll make Laya III!")
