I could never have dreamed that I'd ever see Robin made in one of these videos. What few builds I'd seen online always had them as some kind of jank Wizard or Warlock. This one not only makes them work, but doubles down on their actual main trait of leadership and support. Awakening has a very special place in my heart, so seeing this made me very happy indeed.
Awakening has a place for me which became a love/hate relationship. The community I left after becoming one of the best Awakening players in it and still having my advice being ignored or rejected. It is basically if you have someone like Kuroi who can Lunatic+ deathless with restrictions. You do not need a Lunatic Casual and Classic without any wireless features or Lunatic+ with wireless at a level where I one rounded Grima at that level. For content, Excellum was below my level three years ago only managing to manipulate/cheat with the clock glitch + all wireless features used to beat Lunatic+.
Wow my initial thought was Robin is probably just a standard gish, but this is both way more complicated and way more faithful to the character. Makes sense on a meta level too that the tactical genius character would be a highly optimized mess of multiclassing. Great video.
This is an off topic message. But seeing how other content creators have decided to stop creating further content due to abuse on their channels, I want to show my appreciation. I love seeing your character builds. Your content is some of the best D&D character builds i have seen, and I love the idea of taking a ready established character from other media and turning them into a D&D character. I hope you keep doing what you do with a smile on your face. Much respect to you and everyone involved in your channel.
Genuinely loving this, It's a great build and it's great to hear you sounding like you're actually having fun with this series again! Here's to seeing more weird interesting builds
Mess of multiclassing madness makes for a fun both in the videos and at the table. Surprise your fellow players by announcing each multiclass with total confidence.
In Fire Emblem Heroes, there's multiple variants of Robin who's a heavy armor class unit, sooo... It would not be out of character for them to put on some -checks stats- whatever armor is just below Plate Armor. : ) I'mma put on some of that. This build is literally everything I could have wanted out of a tactician build. Thank you.
Absolutely LOVE this. Right from the beginning, got me thinking, "Huh, low Int? For a tactician? Wouldn't Eldritch Knight work better, giving you high Int, spellsword abilities, and all those maneuvers to position your allies and enemies and buff/debuff them." Only to remember when you hit Battlemaster that D&D and BG3 aren't EXACTLY the same so no weapon maneuvers, and maneuvers are a subclass thing, not just part of the kit, and holy cow this was more complicated than 30 seconds of instinct. Still, great as Robin is, you'll never be able to top Amaterasu. I just don't think it's possible. So psyched you're finishing off the smash roster. It's understandable that it's burning you out, and all things come to an end. Still, I'm glad for every video we'll get. Your builds have done so much to get me back into gaming with new character ideas I want to try and reminders about mechanics that exist. I've even integrated some ideas into characters in some of my home games in other systems! Thanks for everything you do.
I'm glad you said you had fun putting this one together like a puzzle it's important to enjoy what you do just keep in mind that you can always take a break and come back to it later
I was thinking about how many Smash builds are left recently. Honestly didn't realize that Robin wasn't done yet. Cool build, would be pretty fun to play. Pretty fucked up that she gets the best proficiency in the game as a capstone. Please keep making these.
I went back and watched the Santa Claus and Rudolph episode again, and I thought that having Mrs. Claus as Divination Wizard could complement Santa Claus pretty well and maybe pair her with a Dancer from among the team of Reindeer. I think it would be funny to see Dancer as a Satyr, mainly because it could be a funny juxtaposition to Rudolph as a centaur and give some lore reasons why Rudolph was teased by the other Reindeer, but if you want to keep things a bit more consistent, I guess making Dancer also a Centuar could work.
Great build and video. Appreciate all the thought that goes into these. It's really fun to watch what you come up with to get these characters as close to the originals as you can. Thank you.
It's definitely a fun build with a lot of personality. But it may be a bumpy road to level 20 if you're playing it in any context other than a one-shot. For practical table play I'd consider some of the following adjustments(pick and choose to suit your personal needs): - Moving the Warlock level a lot earlier in the build would smooth a lot over. No matter how janky your power progression gets with the multiclassing you'll always have the automatic scaling of Eldritch Blast to ensure you're doing "Good enough." At least until you get all your toys online - I don't know if you really need all of the Sorc stuff, that's a lot of levels just for some evocations. Robin does use a lot of elemental attacks, but in Fire Emblem elemental damage isn't really a thing. It's all just Magic damage with different coats of paint. You could either shove all of this to the back, or drop it for extra bard levels and use Magical Secrets to grab the greatest hits. - The lack of Agonizing Blast will be felt. I'd trade something out to get Warlock 2 to give your Eldritch Blasts that old reliable boost. Fighter 3 is probably what I'd give up; maneuvers are flavorful but with all the casting you can do I struggle to imagine you'll get too much practical mileage out of them. But that's just me. If you want to run it in a level 20 one shot; it'll probably work well enough unadjusted.
Sweet! Now I just need a build for Nowi, then I can import my family into D&D. Not sure what little things I would change up to make Nah and Morgan different from their parents though... 🤔
Thanks a bunch. This was the first build I tried to make for myself after watching your videos so I’m glad to see a professional’s take on the character. Glad to see some parallels with my own.
Footage wise if you do future FE characters from 3DS, Warriors has higher quality cutscenes and models fighting featuring some prominent characters from Archanea, Awakening and Fates.
I'll give you a quick rundown. Robin is the player character and deurteragonist of Fire Emblem Awakening. They're an amnesiac tactician who is skilled in swords and sorcery. They also happen to be the failed vessel of an evil dragon of darkness, Grima. Despite the over-the-top nature of their backstory, they're a pretty cool character who manages to play an awesome supporting role in the story.
@@shockrobin5000Robin isn’t a failed vessel though. In the original timeline they very much succeeded in awakening Grima and destroying the world; and even in the game’s timeline they didn’t fail at being a vessel, they just resisted Grima and Validar’s attempts to possess them.
I wonder how this build would work using the Magus class from Pathfinder? Magus is basically the “Por que no las dos?” when it comes to choosing between Fighter and Wizard, so…
We can also consider giving them Mastermind Rogue too, because the superior bonus action help can be re-flavoured as Robin giving tactical orders to allies
Oddly, despite my love of various Japanese tactical RPGs, I've never gotten into the Fire Emblem series. So, this is completely off topic: But, since I HAVE played a ton of sorcerers, I have to say that Silent Spell is probably the most slept on Metamagic that eliminates so many restrictions of you're playing with spells RAW. Especially if you're multiclassing. You can just end the entire concept of Counterspell chains, cast guidance the way a lot of players think you can in social situations, Hex-or, otherwise, curse a target-without them ever knowing you did anything, break out of virtually any capture scenario while bound and gagged, charm others without raising suspicious, drop suggestions that just sound like you have the situation under control, and toss around the vast majority of spells that don't include some sort of visual origin effect with a little Sleight of Hand to cover up your use of the material component (this one is more GM dependent, but generally works out if you don't abuse it to hell and back). It's really kinda nuts how much possibility space opens up for Sorcerer PCs, or the NPCs in games run by particularly devious GMs, when you don't have to wave your arms around and speak obviously arcane words to cast the vast majority of magic. Now, to be fair, a lot of players and GMs simply ignore the components part of spellcasting. So, in those games, Silent Spell is practically useless. But, if you're in a pretty seasoned group, I highly suggest giving it a go. It's absurd how much it changes the game as a caster.
I hope you have a marry Christmas and that continue to make DND videos I really like watching your DND builds and I always look forward to your next video
I may have disagreements with you on certain topics in and out of D&D, but you do make some fire builds. The Inkling build is actually really fun and I like how you kept to the theme and make it simple in terms of levels. Keep up making these regardless of the haters.
Sometimes you want to be a specific character you know (like me and Tangle the lemur! I really hope for a build for her from good Sir Tulok one day, please?) But when making an avatar, remember that some of them have their own story unfolding with you, and seeing how it's told can be a great journey. Robin is the title of crime fighting chil- (*turn pages* ops wrong one!) Robin is the name of a boy/girl that join the Shepherds, a militia of volunteers that keep Ylisse safe, when was deprived of his memories of identity. A mysterious figure who owns a incredible skill in war tactics and knowledge of future events, who will make bonds be wrought and tempered with tribulation to face a looming future, one this shepherds will fight together, even with forces of other times.
Dang is this complicated, but really in character. I think this is great for players to modify to what they want to play and how they want to play. I'm not sure if you take suggestions from youtube comments, but I'd like to see Chai from Hi-fi Rush build for DnD.
It’s an interesting build concept overall, although I would’ve personally skipped the level in Fighter altogether and gone straight with Wizard Bladesinger. My reasoning coming from mostly gameplay aspect of the whole thing, since Robin plays using a short sword in Smash (at least with the way they handle it), so we could focus on investing exclusively on Dexterity and Intelligence, and putting leftover points in Charisma for inspiring leader if needed, whilst dumping Strength since it isn’t a useful stat in this scenario. It certainly requires a bit of imagination and reflavoring for adjusting certain spells, but Robin’s whole gameplay revolves around using spell books like a Wizard whilst having at hand a magic sword that they acquired during the adventure itself. The one that I can imagine comes closer to how it plays is the Dragon Wrath’s Weapon, since the burst of lightning damage on a critical hit or the additional lightning damage from hitting with it are the closest I can think of for a DnD weapon that replicates the Levin Sword’s properties in Smash.
Trying to make this in baldurs gate. Kill me. Jokes aside I legitimately searched for something like this the day before it was uploaded. I was so excited when I saw it pop up in my recommended.
Still pulling for Eglentine Price (Bednobs and Broomsticks), Winifred Sanderson( Hocus Pocus), Prince Voltron(Flash Gordon), Sir Dragonet, King Arthur's jester (Iddyls of the King/le Morte d'arthur), Councilor Troi (ST:tNG), Septimus Pretorius (Bride of Frankenstein), Mary Poppins, and the Reverend Doctor Syn (The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh).
I think fighter could be replaced by Hexblade entirely, Charisma based melee attacks would be more helpful than a fighting style/second wind. Then you could max Dex over Str and use light armor
