Can You Beat FE Engage With ONLY HP? 

Echoes: health is all you need for magic

This is perhaps the worst challenge run I've ever found. Congrats on surviving this statless hell.

This takes the idea of “Zero Growths” to a whole new extreme. Mad props for you doing this insane challenge in Engage. Being at a severe disadvantage, you really need to really understand all the in’s-and-out’s of Engage’s mechanics and tools you need to win.

The real stats were the friends we shot people together with.

Damn, Boucheron really is the best unit in Fire Emblem Engage. I knew it all along!

Now I wish Intsys had given us a cutscene of alear + the other immortal royals jumping through the church windows, and made it the most overly dramatic thing ever.

This is one of the most interesting "Can you beat" I have seen, was really interesting how you solved some of the maps,. And long live the Bouch.

Chain attacks: the run

This was a crazy impressive run. Great job. Though, I was a little disappointed that Halberdier didn't make an appearance here. I figured this sort of run would be perfect for it, since 0 stat units can't double normally. I could imagine running a core strike team in the later maps comprised of: Halberdier with Eirika, inheriting Divine Pulse+ and Hold Out(with some number of +'s) Alear (Thief or Wolf Knight) with Lucina, inheriting Lunar Brace and Hold Out Seadall, inheriting Canter and Quality Time(+) Anyone with Byleth, inheriting Quality Time(+) and whatever Hortensia with Micaiah, inheriting whatever Anyone with Celica, inheriting whatever The core idea is the Celica holder Warp Ragnaroks in behind the boss to set up Pincer Attack, then you Warp or Rewarp in with the remaining units. Alear positions 2 tiles away from the boss, then attacks with a +hit engraved Short Knife+4 (for maximum hit rate), poisoning the boss and chipping via Lunar Brace. The Halberdier can now enter the tile directly in front of the boss and *quad* with a +40 hit-engraved Brave Lance+1, inflicting 30% of the target's Def (Eclipse Brace+), 5 flat damage (Blue Skies+), 3 flat damage (Alear passive), and 1 flat damage (poison) all as true damage, also triggering a dagger chain attack, which inflicts another stack of poison so the next attack does even more damage. Seadall and the Byleth holder give the Halberdier up to four attacks against the boss. Seadall can't trigger Quality Time *and* reposition for Goddess Dance at the same time, so a random Physic user can heal the Halberdier back into Hold Out range after the first attack, and Quality Time can heal them after the second and third attacks. Four rounds of 4x Brave Lance is enough to kill every boss in the game, including Sombron (with max poison stacks). I don't know if this is more consistent than just rigging 40% crits all day, but with the right supports, it probably is. I've also never tested whether Pincer Attack works against Sombron, so you might still need to rely on crits there.

Goddamn, I am loving the use of Xenoblade music in this video. I cant think of a soundtrack thats more epic and foreboding.

Early maps: move Clanne to a specific spot so they move as far they can without being attacked by Lumera but being followed by the archer who'd insta-kill anyone else. Later maps: SPIN

Well that made me feel at least a little bad for having to focus to deal with maps in a normal maddening run. Congratulations, though. That was extremely solid.

I did not think this run was possible, congrats how such an insane accomplishment. It looked very difficult and the strategies you came up with were fun. Look forward to next challenge run.

This challenge is so cool but the added commentary for the cutscenes was the icing on the cake. Thank you for the laughs!

haha, finally, a 'can you beat x' that i'd immediately say "no way" to when first hearing it

I really enjoy your FE challenge runs! Keep up the good work!

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICES THE DAMN HORNS PROTRUDING INTO SOMBRON'S CHEST

What a ride! Huge congrats on completing this insane challenge!

Fun fact: flamingos are extremophiles, which basically means they can survive any climate (even boiling water)

This challenge was insane to watch. Great job!

griss: reveals that alear is a fell dragon alear and vander: 😎

This is an impressive run to be sure, but also you are unexpectedly mad funny randomly sometimes and I appreciate it. It helps get through the feature length film of this video.

I'm so happy to see all the Boucheron love. He deserves it!

The only setting where Boucheron is S tier

not only are your challange videos of superb qulity, you also cover a great range of games, it is only a matter of time, before this channel hits it big!

Holy goddamn. The absolute madman

holy shit still pumping through the engage challenge runs. Mad respect.

Wow! You’re a genius

Love your channel

This channel is amazing 😊

this is crazy considering i'm getting destroyed in maddeing

Now THIS Is maddening!

Appreciate the music lining up with the arrow sounds at 1:05:37 lol

25 hours on chapter 2 oml

Insane run!

COMMON BOUCHERON W🙏 I cannot believe you did this and did it successfully too, absolutely insane

now give every event 99 in all stats AHAAAA

this is pure cinema

These stupidly hard challenge runs are so much fun to watch. Especially with the excellent music choices.

Unfortunately I haven't finished the game yet, but I swear I'll come back to watch the full video

11:12 I would recognize Baten Kaitos battle theme anytime and anywhere, makes me always happy to hear it.

Absolute madlad

How did bro push through the grind?

The base maddening game is really too easy. You are way too skilled.

This is *messed up* and I love it.

I guess you finally get a good use for Boucheron's personal skill in this run lol Also Alear looks really good with a singular hair colour actually

Is this a display of skill? Knowledge? Creativity? No, it’s a display of Endurance.

The Mighty Booch indeed

boucheron MVP I knew it all along

Your video idea is great and your ideas while editing were good, the video as a whole is cool. I think that you could have made it better by trying to pace it better and make more of your work though. I get that you were probably worried about video length, but for example in the first chapters it was kind of a surprise how many hours you said you spent over chapters that only lasted a few minutes without really commiting to any drama or nuanced storytelling. It was like you kept the same tone of voice, but the words you said sounded like you could have definitely have delivered it in a more intriguing way and the script was written with that in mind. I like your voice style (you kinda sound a bit like Dragoon) but I also think you're either talking too fast to get through your script, or there's just a lack of variance or emphasis? I don't want to like make an undue comparison, but if you watch a smallant challenge video for example, he tries to weave in a narrative to captivate the audience and you can hear it in how his tone fluctuates. I apologize if this is like patronizing, but I really respect the work you put in and think you could have gotten more out of your material. I hope the vid does well nonetheless

I did a arts only challenge and lunar brace was my saving grace Glad im not the only one who found out lunar brace was sick for low damage characters xd

Is it possible for doing no levelups challenge? You can't levelup on each maps including DLC maps, but you may use one seal to reset exp after each maps. Of cousre it will keep all chars stay initial stats.

17:48 the absolute best bond ring

2:27 the song is fitting.

Love the Xenoblade music choices!

Impressive

This really showcases how busted Emblems are, as they enable most damage and strategies by themselves. That's kinda crazy.

having not watched this as of now, i am going to guess daggers are broken am i right

0 bases lol. Anyways, how did you get the funny outfits to appear in battle? Is it a mod?

Now do an ironman no time crystal run of that !

Yes yes you and I’m sorry I cant support this insanity help get help

Wtf i cant even beat the last map on maddening yet you did it with almost nothing.

Now try it with 0 movement too!!

Congrats on the torture sessions 👍

Any one getting Awakening Lunatic plus vibes?

Bro fucking beat the entire game with 0 Stats and haven't got over 1k views 😭😭😭

Its funny how they use the "Lunar Brace" name and "Solar Brace" name to give Eirika/Ephraim Luna and Sol-like effects in FEH and Engage... yet they do absolutely nothing like that in Sacred Stones. If Eirika actually had a Luna effect she'd probably be far better of a unit in Sacred Stones. Its really strange in fact because they could have given Eirika and Ephraim class skills as well once promoted but they didn't (and class skills are usually given to classes with more limited weapon options in Sacred Stones).

Only a few minutes in so far, but... did I just hear the Werehog at 3:26

Who died by the end of the run

Average Awakening Lunatic+ run

So the answer is NO without modded combat?

I actually did something like this.... only in Fates..... where i had to beat the game with only a Class called Out releam Class. i had to legit kill all enemies with only skills and basically no stats lol ( i did decide to give Azura and corrin to my normal levels 7 for corrin and 10 for azura before starting and Kaze to 7 for conquest ) and it was stil extremely brutal. you should try it :)

Dogs working in the mines? Sounds like a Palworld reference to me

Finally a run where Boucheron can excel

At least don't touch speed stat. This challenge is to broken 😂

1.5 hrs of no stats 😦

The way the run becomes easier as you progress says a lot about how unbalanced certain skills/weapons/items are. Astra storm and AOE warp are obvious but I've never liked how strong flame dragon vein and lunar brace are. Everyone knows emblems are busted too but imo engravings don't get enough flak for how they trivialize the hit, crit and avoid stats. Anyways for anyone who feels like they have already solved the game and want a fresh playthrough, I recommend a challenge run that bans emblems and any related game mechanic, but with mods that enable free reclassing and more deployment slots. This gives more incentive to have a varied army with tank and support classes instead of offense spam since hit and crit are hard to come by. Also the game becomes less alpha strikey and more of a long drawn out battle, the way a war game ought to be.

Congrats you make the video fun , but hacking is present even more than you clarify to complete this, hit rates would be crazy low to even be able to pass middle game chapters, it’s not possible

The challenge seems great until you realize that your weapons are what’s really saving you, so what about an Arts(fists) only run so you can prove that even the weakest weapon type can be used for challenge runs

engage really is a silly game huh

8:55,11:27, 23:57, 24:04, 26:05, 32:23, 47:25, : You said that unit class, then them so are you talking about one or mutable? I think you accidentally said they instead for some, like at 34:17, 37:14, 52:00, 56:48, . Also, this gay moment is not funny, and is inappropriate 1:22:51.
