Damn Mekkah out here with that amazing microphone quality

the only way to make jeorge a 5 star unit is to pay filthy orbs

Tier List based on these review scores: 5.0 - Caeda, Jagen, Lena, Jake, Beck 4.5 - Wendell, Minerva, Nagi 4.0 - Abel, Merric, Hardin, Wolf, Sedgar, Frey, Jeorge, Palla, Tiki 3.5 - Cain, Ogma, Barst, Catria, Xane 3.0 - Wrys, Linde, Boah, Astram, Samson, Etzel, Elice 2.5 - Marth, Draug, Julian, Navarre, Est, Gotoh 2.0 - Bord, Athena, Maria, Midia, Horace, Arran 1.5 - Gordin, Cord, Darros, Castor, Mathis, Rickard, Bantu, Norne 1.0 - Vyland, Roshea, Caesar, Radd, Roger, Tomas, Macellan, Dolph, Lorenz lolwho? - Ymir

"jeorge is gonna be the mvp of this playthrough" *benches jeorge instantly*

Remember Ogma > Barst? Yeah that turned out real well

Radd is really a 10 star unit.

1:01:33 "Why would you train him?"

How dare you forget Ymir!!! I know he's discount Barst in every way, but HE HAS THE DEVIL AXE.

I accidentally relcassed Wolf to a general on my first playthrough and at that point was able to completely solo everything. He pretty much like 2 round killed the final boss and took less than 20 damage.

Radd Qwetz quickly pulled out his talisman to travel back in time and give himself five stars.

I love gordim only for the fact I some how managed to cap def with him and he became a better wall than most of my actual walls/knight and generals

What's the point of this unit" AKA "this is my permanent team options now"

On first playthrough I actually did sacrifice Jagen because I was 100% sure they wouldn’t actually make you sacrifice somebody, they’d just come back in a later chapter. Jagen never came in a later chapter

Wrys: Who are you? Wendell: I'm you but stronger

I have only ever played fire emblem heroes and didn’t even play much of it, I barely have any idea what you are talking about but for some reason this is still incredibly entertaining

Ymir spotlight or riot.

RIP in Ymir, never forgir

40:16 *shows Hardin on screen with 8 base defence* Yup Hardin has 3 less defence than 9 defence Cain, thanks wiki

Suggestion: Give Yimr a spotlight to make up for forgetting him in the lp

Something that i love from this game is the fact that even the awful units can become great, and its very funny. My matthis killed medeus for example

Guys? Did yall see it? Mekkah actually once rated a character better than Mangs

One of the videos I’ve been excited for, I’m super excited to watch through this whilst at work. Thanks for all the time you put in your videos mangs

I discovered a whole new world of knowledge with fire emblem youtube videos. My highschool classmates and me loved playing the saga but they all agreed for instance that Marcus and Jaeger sucked because they were already promoted and it was unconvenient for gettng 20/20 with thir favorite characters. I love seeing how people love this type of characters :d

Some of the stats on the unit review screens are wrong, e.g. Hardin has 8 defence whereas the summary says he only has 6 and Etzel's FE12 bases are shown here, not his FE11 ones.

fun fact: shiida IS named shiida in the european version of FE 11

Xane? You mean three battle stations!!

Jeorge is a 5 Star Unit. Never forget.

44:39 So, I'm just looking at Wolf's art and wow he has some insane hips on him. Like, are we sure this is a dude? I can't be the only person seeing this right? I know this is about the unit review but I'm really distracted by those hips now.

See this two together makes me happy

Mekkah: Bases over growths Also Mekkah: Gives Wolf and Sedgar 4/5

Cant wait to watch all your playthroughs with mekkah. You two are the best FE duo to follow 😂

I love how poorly some of these ratings aged.

Is Gordins VA the same as Pits? The two sound eeirly similar... im almost expecting him to say something about Lady Palutena...

Radd : "there no use for this guy" ...

Hey Mangs, were there any units that, after using them in this playthrough, have since made you change your opinion of them, either good or bad, or, in one particular case, Radd?

Mangs: Marth gets 3 stars. Me: Oh boy this is gonna be good.

I'm still waiting for that history of the Freelancer video.

Both ranked Radd 1 Star, still beats Medeus on Hard 5 on his own.

I think we should give chance for Fire Emblem Characters to review Mangs.

"Why field Wrys when you can field Wendell?" NOBODY BEATS 20 RES WRYS.

I.... can't help but feel these two hate each other lmao

Hay this came out on my birthday

Member when Jeorge was a 5 star Unit... I member

I know you guys hate on bow users because they can't counter like javelins or hand axes, but archers having that ranged chip is great if you can reliably and strategically defend. This is easier when you take your time, I've never warp skipped though so that's where I stand

The 2-Star rated units can be a force to be reckoned with if you invest enough in them.

You should really make a playlist for these unit review compilation

When I saw castor I was wondering why there'd be a playable beaver in the game

GORDIN was my MVP

Keep in mind these rankings don't apply nearly as much if you take like 400+ turns on all the maps with arenas. 😅

I turned cord into a mercenary early on, along with a seraph robe he became one of my best units. Almost all his flaws went away, and was actually in the late game better than ogma

jagen actually has really bad stats for a prepromoted unit, however the B rank in lances combined with the silver lance makes him insanely strong, it increases his damage output and his hit rate a ton, weapon rank in shadow dragon is way more important than stats. also ceada has additional utility, you can farm pretty much infinite money in arenas with her, as long as you come prepared and buy alot of healing staffs, even on hard 5 shes the optimal unit for arenas since she will never get crit you can always press b in time when the matchup is bad and either way if the entry fee is below 1000 gold she should win 99% of the time, if its above 1k you can just say no and try again in the same turn until he gives you an easier one. on hard 5 you cannot send any other unit but her into arenas since if the enemy has even 1% crit, bad things will happen.

This "Roger Roger" thing is the most beautiful meme ever

BUT MAAAAAAAANGS where are the maniac PoR videos?

This actually more helped me with deciding who to kill off for Athena lol

such a heated debate on est's ranking

Barst (and other axe users) just have better stats as a hero instead of a warrior.

Here's hoping that you come back one day Mangs. Day to day life is just so much tougher without your daily content.

I demand a 15 minute analysis of Ymir

Also *kiss kiss*

i wish you could make a legend of cao cao units review

the fun fact that most units can max out HP 😂

I sacrifice Gordin every time.

Thanks manga, this makes this much easier.

Vyland is the best unit in the game

Oh shit I almost forgot Hardin. That guy put in SO much work in my last run of Shadow Dragon. He was a boss killer/chipper and he absolutely wrecked weaker units.

My final team for Marth was: Caeda, Cain, Abel, Draug, Gordin, Ogma, Barst, Lena, Navarre, Linde, Merric, Minerva, Tiki, Elice (and Gotoh of course). I also had Julian, Castor, Darrios, Jake, Midia, Astram, and Xane on backfill.

Nice.

The captions be like "I made a major mistake when rating a character but instead of owning up to it I'm gonna say that I would have rated him that low anyway."

Hardin: "rip, no other official artwork"

The Roger Roger part got me😂😂😂

the game is more of a Book 1 in fe3 rather than fe1 especially for draug

You can't tell me what to do! *Uses Gordin, Rickard, Vyland and Cord*

if you reclass bord into a mercenary he is really useful except his HP

Do one of these for every game in the series

I wish Horace had the other reclass set . He’d be godly as a Draco and he could be a good paladin as well . Such a shame . Also I wish he could use axes as a general , just because i think it’d be cool , look how badass he looks with one in his art .

5 points!

Navarre actually makes an OP sniper, his skill & speed growth rates make it ez for him to chip people down with a Killer Bow

:OO danganronpa music

2:07:30 Radd Chant One star unit.

i just remenber mangs rating sedgar 4 out 5 star in hard five, sedgar carry his ass almost the whole game XDDD true justice to sedgar the mage killer!

I made Barst my Armor Knight He does not die, a must field (I tried to not field him and completely lost every time)

It would be nice if they do thracia binding blade and sacred stones

Neat that in the remake they keep Draug’s unusually high for his class Speed growth. And since Knights are promotable in the remake… I’ll bet he can actually get pretty busted real quick

2:07:30 NICE

1:26:35 Pent and Nino or Saleh and Ewan?

Oh nooooo, I was lead astray by the guides. They said to sacrifice Jagan or Cain... and Cain is cute, so I kept Gordin instead of Jagan. But I'm sure it's fine; I'm playing on Normal lol

How come you've not done one of these for FE8 Sacred stones? Or FE6? Would love to see them, love your content lad keep it up!

FIVE POINTS!!!

Remember Ogma and Jeroge?

That would be cool if we got a 1-2 range falchion user that had a mount and could use lances on promote?

Roger Roger

Ghast hasn’t uploaded in almost a month. Can you check on him to see if he’s okay?

I unironically used Radd in every chapter from his recruitment all because of his name. (also because Navarre died but shush)

fun fact other than wolf and sedgar dolph hs the third best defence growth at base class in the game

Can't agree with Gordin and Jeorge ratings. On my h5 playtrough by the time i got to Jeorge's chapter Gordin had compareable stats despite still being unpromoted. First chapters are by far the most difficult due to lack of options and Gordin makes them doable at all, because javelins, sure they counter attack in melee, but their accuracy in the early game is ass. Maybe in lower difficulty Jeorge is better, but on h5 enemies have so much hp that taking them down takes many hits, which also nets more exp so your units will be higher level. So i benched Jeorge instantly and didn't used him even once. The point about Cain not being able to use Ridersbane early on doesn't really matter since you get only one in ch4 and you don't get another untill ch13. Marth, Radd and Navarre aren't that bad. Effective weapons make them ok. Not amazing, but good enough. Julian's growths aren't good enough when he has 4 strenght, so hitting anything is a death sentence and if enemy has any ammount of defence, he deals 0 dmg. On lower difficulty it's possible to level him up in the arena, but on h5 arena is so difficult that it might as well not be there.

Idk Wrys has his combat uses especially on Garneffs map where he clones himself, cause Wyrs get a big res build and basically acts as a tank. Is it worth it to get him there, maybe not, but I got him there and made that map so easy

In my opinion, Cain, Frey, Abel, Tiki and Nagi are the best units. Cain, Frey and Abel have great growth rates and join at the start, Tiki can easily surpass Nagi, Nagi is extremely powerful.

the only thing i could use those useless unit like vyland and matthis is for the extra chapters sacrifices. still norde is hard to get but it is like gordin. and i do the prologue for the new cavalier and for the stats.

Can you guys please do this for another game?
