This is awesome. I finally decided to buy and play 3 houses last week after playing every FE game previously. Revelation turned me off of FE but 3H has been a breath of fresh air.
I hope y’all aren’t starting with maddening difficulty bc Jesus Christ. I don’t even do fresh files on maddening, NG+ makes the game so much more interesting
Sniper class is a goated class from the start for the simple fact that hunter's volley is locked to it. Shamir's perfect class, keeps her drip, and has a high strength and low speed to make use of the broken 2-4 rng brave skill.
I just recruited Shamir on maddening CF. Should I keep her on Sniper her volley then switch her to brigand for death blow? Also how about Bernie? Bow Knight or Sniper?
@@toxiconflict Definitely master the brigand class for the death blow. Have bernie be the bow knight. My favorite tactic for grinding class mastery is to just surround an archer on four sides and have him attack an unequipped unit over and over again with the knowledge gem equipped for more class exp.
There's a couple of chapters where enemies are just randomly carrying stat-boosters that they don't drop. That one Almyran invasion paralogue, for example, has 3 enemies that carry a Seraph Robe, Goddess Icon, and one other one that I can't remember. I'm not saying Steal is fantastic or anything, but free stats are free stats.
@@rhettmitchell you do not. If an enemy will drop its held item on defeat, it will have a green and silver bag icon that will fade in and out. The item in question will also be highlighted with green text. This is not the case for those 3 enemies. Had I not thought to check enemy inventories, I'd have missed 3 stat-boosters.
Yeeeeaaahhhh, i don’t recommend getting a skill or classing a unit for one or two chapters. Free stats are nice, but the trade off isn’t worth it. I’d rather focus my time on something more consistently useful.
@@vindex7309 It's not one or two chapters, though. Field of Eagle and Lion has the two enemy lords have evasion and accuracy rings that you can only get via stealing. You can steal the dark seal(s) from the death knight if you can't ORKO him and want it, and multiple shields later in the game, including the lampos and aurora shields, can only be gotten by stealing them from the bosses. Several early mages, like the chapter where you rescue Flayn, are the first sources of magic and healing staves if you steal from them also. Then there's the aforementioned stat boosters. The only justification, gameplay wise, to not cert your fastest unit into thief is if you are constantly scraping the bottom of the barrel for funds and you're so broke that you can't afford the 1,000 gold for the intermediate seal, can never find a situation on any map where having a thief doesn't cause it to just die, and can also never find the time to spare an auxiliary battle or two to master thief while you're training all your other units anyway. Plus, stealing is fun. I just wish it gave exp like it did some previous FE games. I'd personally rank it a must-have, particularly since you only need one slot from one unit to get all of its benefits. Characters that are the fastest in each house usually also have high enough skill to make hit +20 redundant, anyway, so they can definitely spare one slot.
A point about Great Knight. It doesn't even give you Riding XP when you're in the class, only Heavy Armor. So not only is it the steepest certification requirement in the game, it doesn't even train one of its main attributes when you're in it. The requirements should've been Axe A, Lance C, and Armor OR Riding B+, and train both once in the class. At least then it'd be slightly less abysmal.
If Great Knight required either axes or lances instead of just specifically axes it'd actually be really nice for swift strikes units. The one time I did Great Knight Silvain it was super useful because he was able to tank on enemy phase and then turn around and use swift strikes with lancefaire on player phase. Only issue was that because of how long it took to certify him into the class I only had him as a Great Knight for the last two chapters of the game (this was on CF)
Great Knight seems to be really only made for Gilbert and that's only on AM, and only if you continue to use him over Dedue, imho. Ferdinand maybe? But if you have to recruit him too wow that is way too much work.
GK is actually a downgrade from paladin for SS units. it’s a -1 str and -1 mov difference from class mods which effects a few things especially on maps with terrain.
I agree with your tier list a lot, my only problem is placing Paladin in the same tier as Swordmaster. While I agree that Ferdinand and Silvain also like to go into Wyvern lord, Paladin is super cheap for them to go into, and it lets them use ground batallions, which are almost always better than the flier ones. I also see Valkirye as a stepping stone into dark knight, but I can see why some people see it as an endgame class.
Valkyrie and Dark Knight are about as good as each other to me it really depends on what a certain unit needs more between damage and range. For example Lysithea benefits a lot from the added range from Valkyrie and her magic stat is that high that any fares are just overkill I consider it to be her optimal class personally while for the likes of Hapi who needs the fares to be able to one round most enemies Dark Knight is the better class.
Calvary classes are situationally great to have it learned as you can change class before the battle when you need it but all of cavalry classes have minus% growth to speed, which is very bad in maddening mode(more forgiving in easier mode, but I am talking about optimal class). It is still better to level up in flying classes or assassin to give the best chance for attack and speed growth.
@@isaacch8598 on maddening speed isn't as important, as, unless you are a speed demon female, you won't double at all. In the case of Sylvain and Ferdinand, they get Swift Strikes, which nullifies their speed on player phase. And for enemy phase they can equip guard adjutants to survive.
yeah paladin is unironically great for ferd and sylvain since its just free swift strikes damage and actually required for bernadetta so she can get higher chances to go into vengeance range bc of the lower speed
While I think the evaluation criteria you chose places too great importance on endgame utility and therefore fails to reward classes for what they can do outside of providing masteries, etc. I think you perfectly placed the classes based off of your criteria and I really liked listening to your evaluations and your playstyle.
I think you’re undervaluing hit +20. It also applies to gambits which are consistently unreliable and usually a crucial part of survival on maddening. The list is really solid overall though
I'd put Lord into 'If you want I guess'. I think it has a niche with being a class that can help increase authority points early on, which I've found to be useful when doing Battalion Vantage/Wrath Dimitri. I'm able to get him to A-rank authority by Chapter 8/9 a lot of the time. On top of that, like you said, having Charm as a class ability at that point in the game can come in useful. On the off-chance that you're doubling (quading if using gauntlets) that's an extra 6-12 damage. Negligible later, but in the early-mid game, that extra damage can decide if you're killing the enemy unit or not. I understand the choice to say it's pointless, but I've gotten decent use out of it.
Good list! The only part which I kinda disagree was the placement of Thief/Brawler which are two underrated classes. Thief is the best male intermediate class due to its +2 speed modifier and 10% growth. Which guarantees 13 speed by level 11 and with Spd+2 from Myrmiddon, you’re suddenly looking at a max of 15 AS and that is relevant, for instance, on chapter 4 bc you’re no longer getting doubled by the Death Knight. It’s a solid “Stepping Stone” class for a medium fast unit like Byleth or Dimitri. And by all means you can still go for Death Blow, but the point is, not everything in a class is about the mastery skill, which comes a lot later too, but just reclassing to Thief has certain benefits which no other class(except Pegasus Knight) can offer such as high and unpenalized movement or the ability to steal stuff at this point. Brawler is also a great class when you put into context a unit like Balthus or Dedue, because is boosts dex and spd which can come in handy, in a pinch. And on a chapter like Chapter 8 or 10, unpenalized movement is extremely handy with all the terrain. I kinda get this feeling that this list is a little bit “too” centralized around class masteries which is unrealistic because on the one hand, there’s Swordmaster in “If you want, I guess” only because Astra is not good, even though everything else may be, and on the other, Brigand is higher due to Death Blow, even though everything else is ok at best and any class can use Death Blow. In fact, Brigand is the least likely to use Death Blow since by the time you’ve mastered it, you will have started working on mastering other class like Archer or Pegasus Knight.
The spd on thief is kinda nice but pretty situational and your example doesn't work because you won't have anyone at level 10 by chapter 4. If you're looking for the best intermediate class for males that's Cav because super canto is broken. Brawler's stats aren't great either, it's just an easy way to get a guard adjutant and that's all. Also the mastery is worthless. Swordmaster is bad because getting B+ swords is a giant pain and the sword crit doesn't help because swords are bad. It's good on early Catherine because she doesn't have any other options but that's it. Also, Death Blow is the second best skill in the game after Hit +20, Brigand deserves to be that high
@@epicgamer6678 Byleth and the Lords can get to level 10 and at least D+ swords by chapter 4 even without overly prioritizing them(thanks to their personal skills). I’m not saying that’s optimal but it is there as an option as a point in Thief’s favor. Cavalier is good, admittedly. As I said, Brawler can work on some units who prefer gauntlets like Caspar or Balthus, where the speed may allow them to double/quadruple some slower archers and cavaliers. My point about swordmaster is that it wasn’t best in the game but it came be a stepping stone into a better class like War Master, Falcon Knight, or even Enlightened One
@@thescarredraven2634 I've personally never gotten either Byleth or any of the lord to level 10 by chapter 4. Maddening exp gain just doesn't facilitate that kind of thing despite their personals. Also, even if you do get to level 10 you're likely sticking with Fighter anyway to grab Str +2 before going for intermediate masteries. Brawler is hard to justify ever using since it'll take a while to master both Archer and Brigand and once you've finished that it's probably better to stick with either one of those since the tiny speed improvement isn't even worth the single intermediate seal you'd be using (Maddening enemies are fast!) and you're probably close to or even at level 20 already and you can hopefully go into Grappler immediately. I find it hard to see how Swordmaster could be a good stepping stone into War Master considering the investment you put in to reach B+ swords would essentially be wasted and if you're building WM ranks anyway you can probably just go Grappler. Falcon Knight I could maybe see since it does have a sword req but since you probably have at least C flying and D+ axes, it's not hard to get to C axes and certify for Wyvern, maybe even ditch the Falco plans and build towards Wyvern Lord instead. Finally, you get Enlightened One completely for free and Byleth has way better things to be working towards than sword rank anyway.
FED thinks Maddening is genuinely difficult. I don't think he checks skills often enough to consider anything at more than a first glance. Not trying to be mean, but the fact he was so malded about someone calling maddening is easy to make a video on it.. yeah. Kinda shows his level of thinking. I mean, you can easily beat it with meme units if you just double check skills.. Can't really do that in the older games, not easily anyway. Fe6 hard mode pretty much forces you to play with the best units, yeah with LUCK you can play with a few meme units, but it makes maddening look like a joke. You can RELIABLY hit units in maddening. That alone tells you it isn't much to look at.
@@xeratovildan9871 fe6 hard mode isn’t really that hard though. there’s a lot of genuinely viable units and a lot of units get swords which are insanely accurate. game isn’t forcing you to use lugh, rutger, miledy, marcus, a lot of people get by without lugh and marcus for example, it’s just easier if you do like how madd 3h is easy asf if you abuse warp and bernadetta
Armour Knight certification is something that can't really be underestimated. Sure, it's a bit of a pain to get, but the axe rank can be ground out in just one or two auxiliary battles if you're patient, or just a month or two of battles and lectures if you're not, and ditto for the armour. That may sound like a lot of work, but consider Lysithea for a moment. Assuming she levels up averagely for her stats, by the time she hits level 10 she'll have 24 HP and 4 defense. Armor knight certification will instantly give her a permanent 30 HP and 12 defense! Not only is that huge from a relative perspective, giving her like, triple the defense she'd normally have by level 40, it's also huge from an absolute perspective, transforming her from your squishiest unit to (assuming everyone has average growths until level 10) your strongest tank. Lysithea's the most extreme example but almost literally everyone, barring maybe Dedue, would benefit from the stat boosts armour knight grants. Plus, it's the only intermediate class that lets you train heavy armor, so unless you like wasting a lot of professor exploration points on training it, you'll need this if you want to recruit Ferdinand. The weight minus skills are more or less meaningless in the long term, but in the short term, when they're up against like...Authority level 3, they can allow some of the weaker units to double or at least not get doubled.
22:39 my favorite memory of using sniper byleth is beating the chapter where Jeritza kidnaps flaynn on maddening in 2 turns by buffing with annette and ferdinand and hitting from the beggining of the map with a group of A rank support partners to buff hit rates.
Hilda as a mortal savant is unironically kinda good It’s probably better as her being a war cleric but her str is naturally so good you can dip into magic and mage for fiendish blow, her magic spells are very good, bolting, lightning, and thoron all pretty good It may be a meme but man is it a funny one
I really like Astra on Felix or Catherine, bc of the crest and crit rate it's so much better than anyone thinks. Kill anyone(monsters excluded) in the last AM chapter with killing edge or cursed ashiya
I strongly disagree with Armored Knight, I think it belongs in Can Master. Armored Blow makes units with lots of Health but middling Defenses tank from my experiences in Maddening. Units that can take maybe one or two hits but not anymore like Caspar and Lorenz want this if they can. Brick walls like Dedue and Raphael can skip it, a zero will remain a zero. Also Thief is pretty nice when you want to steal the Evade and Accuracy Rings in Chapter 7, as well as Dark Seals and Stat Boosters in some chapters. Believe me you want a lot of Evade Rings when you can... And for Mortal Savant I use Magic users that also have Sword Combat Arts and utility spells (Marianne, Manuela, Dorothea, etc). Focusing Swordfaire into Levin Sword, Hexblade and Soul Blade while still being allowed to use spells at 6 Movement is really good. Tricksters can kind of do similar but their Magic Growth sucks and they have no Faires so chances are they'll turn into a near pure utility unit by endgame if you do, while with Mortal Savant you'll still have a frontline unit that can also do good support. Also a Brave Sword with Swordfaire can be pretty convenient at times for other Mages, even at only base Strength.
The only niche I found involving Thief is being able to speedrun Anna’s Stat Booster quest since every auxiliary battle has at minimum 3 units with Trade Secrets that don’t get dropped. It’s the only niche I have found for the skill aside from Forest Terrain negation (which brawler provides anyways).
Paladin is a interesting pick for If You Want. It's a bit troublesome with low speed and mounted penalties for sure, but I thought consensus for maddening was that swift strikers and especially Dimitri favored it. Maybe Bernadetta too. Biggest thing is lancefaire is nice but it's lower strength mod means it's only +2/3 or so. So is it the increasing focus on enemy phase builds, muscling throught banes, or just having axes/bows is better that nixes it? Since stuff like trickster and emperor make end game- I'm kind of intrigued.
@@nathanpeereboom761 It isn't true that everyone will get doubled unless they are very fast. Enemies in maddening aren't as fast as people like to think, they just assume that because some classes like FN and Assassin are crazy fast that everything else is too. In the BL final map other that the Grapplers/Warmasters that have 40+ speed the next fastest enemy only has 35 speed. Now using Sylvain who is a middle speed unit as an example on average as a WL he will have 33 speed which is enough to not get doubled by all those other units. On the other hand as a paladin he will on average have 26 which gets him doubled by everything on the map except 1 Bishop. I would say that makes Paladin MUCH worse. Also taking into account that as a Paladin his strength will be around 31 and with 34 as a Wyvern means he gets 2 extra damage per hit with SS which is almost never going to matter. That 20% speed growth decrease makes a huge difference.
@@nathanpeereboom761 It is definitely up to the RNG but going by average level ups he should have around 33 speed. Raphael is the slowest unit in the game and his average WL speed is 26 which is the same as Sylvains Paladin speed.
I hope the next FE game has a similar class system, but with seriously tweaked requirements… Great Knights should take Axe OR Lance skills at A instead of just Axes. Wyverns and Falcon’s could Benefit from having Lance/Swords/Axes at C, with another one of the 3 at A You end up wasting so much time tutoring skills that you don’t want to use because you don’t want Axes on your Great Knight, or Lances on your Wyvern. It would be really cool if the classes let you choose 1 Faire skill that you can toggle out of battle Something like Sniper doesn’t need that option since Bows are pretty much all it wants to use, but classes like Paladin or Fortress Knight could really benefit from the time saved by not having to tutor skills you won’t use just to certify into the class
Just in general making all requirements this OR that would make it feel a lot more like previous systems. Right now, in 3h a hero needs to be a good merc and a good fighter, in previous FEs you just need level 10 in either class.
@@marcoasturias8520 oh that’s an interesting requirement, a prerequisite class like Trickster is how it worked? Sorry, I haven’t played any other FE games But the OR part is the important one, whether that’s Axe rank OR Lance rank for Wyvern Or Fighter / Mercenary to be able to class into Hero
I feel like Dancers in this game are only really good with boots because it requires a lot more to use eficiently than in other games Imo. Especially when a good part of your units endgame will be wyverns or other fliers maybe the eventual cavalry and your other infantries are either long range or support who don't see combat. Maybe War masters and brawlers for infantry but they probably want the boots more. I mean it's probably just my playstyle where i aim to just go really fast in maps and that requires mobile units and I'd rather use the boots on my hypercarry than my dancer so it's a bit redudndant when you have access to warp/rescue/strider that essentially fulfil what you want and especially dnace of the goddess which you can put on a cavalry unit for the movement AND the dance. Yes you can pair both but i just don't like using it. It's undoubtebly useful even in three houses but compared to other FE's it's not really necessary.
Mortal savant actually is what upsets me about 3H. Mortal Savant should be axes and black tomes, and war Master should be sword / fists. There's no amazing end game sword user. Assassin is close, but it lacks the one round capability. It either doesn't have the strength to defeat its foe when doubling, or it speed ties and still doesn't have the strength to kill. War Master has the strength supplement that sword needs to get the job done (that's why fists are nuts in this game - War Master). But then Mortal savant has decent strength, but it has negative speed growth and low base speed compared to other sword classes. Axe, on the other hand, tends to not care too much about speed because of its high mt. It would be truly the all out attacker type on Mortal savant, and then units like Annette might have a comfortable end game unit then (as well as Hapi, as they both have proficiency in axes and have high magic growths). Lost opportunity to make actually a good hybrid class like this.
While Hunter's Volley is insanely good, I think it's important to note that once you're at the point where Bow Knight is an option you should have access to Brave Bows and The Inexhaustible so the difference in damage isn't as big as one might think.
the fact of the matter is that training horse to A rank is super bleh. brave bow is also weighty with semi low hit, while HV makes literally anything a brave bow with +1 mt and +15 hit. stuff like silver bow+ (isnt even necessary tbf) kinda shreds with hv while in bow knight you’re locking yourself to one bow and a class with severe terrain penalties
@@xertiio Bow knight is not as bad as ppl make it, having canto is good and even if it have issue in some terrains is more mobility over all, the only real downside is training horses which isn't extremely bad or difficult
@@Pokeeko yeah ofc, but compared to sniper you’re locking yourself to one bow for the most part unless you’re like leonie and have PBV. the one round potential is pretty low
I'm in the proces of doing solo class runs with every Advanced, Special and Master class, to see if it's even possible to beat the game with some of them... I do only do classes that can be learned by both genders, so no genderlocked classes yet, and so far, only really Bishop have given me issues! A full squad of Warlocks, Swordmasters and Warriors have been extremly easy, with the only roadblocks being enemies who are just outright immune to magic without gambits for my Warlocks, so i had to allow gambits for all classes to make the playingfield even... After switching over to allow gambits, Bishops became much easier, and Warrior and Sniper has surprisingly been the hardest runs so far!
Sniper is just ridiculous. My first run (Silver Snow) was only made possible in the final chapter by having three snipers lol. And then when I did CF NG+ Sniper Byleth was just disgusting and got mvp nearly every map after getting Hunter’s Volley. I just certified two archers to Sniper in VW maddening (no ng+) and I can’t wait to see what destruction they will unleash.
For me it's hard to see putting Trickster above Swordmaster when they have the same mobility in most cases, and statwise they are pretty similar except that Swordmaster is dealing much more damage since it has Swordfaire and a strength mod. I could definitely see it if Trickster didn't have halved magic uses but to me it just seems like there isn't really much of anything Trickster can do that isn't done better by other classes.
Watched it all the way through. Sheesh. Definitely some good information here, thank you. Would be cool to see best builds for each character including combat arts and passives.
start of the video: i've come here hoping you explain your points more than the first time. i remember that you used to say "x is good because its good". This is me giving another chance. Post video: good job! I learned a few things too
I feel like I could do with text accompanying each sprite so I can see what's what. Sincerely, someone who got distracted for a solid 5 minutes and didn't take anything in 😭
I agree with your tier placing for archer however I definitely disagree with the position and reasoning. In maddening I think bows are generally very useful early game on any physical unit for accurate 2 range chip and eventually 3 range with curved shot. I think it’s worth some instruction just for most of your physical units to have curved shot. At that point you’re already at D bows so I think it’d be convenient to train a bit more to get archer mastery. In maddening I think generally every hit counts and having hit+20 make your units reliably be able to attack is very appreciated. I don’t think it takes very long to master archer at all either especially if you take advantage of aux battles
@@belzyk3dg122 I think you can get to 2 battles a week relatively quickly especially by the time your units start getting intermediate classes. You get a 100 turn limit in every map and you get 2 class xp per round of combat not counting using the knowledge gem. I typically can get around 2 masteries per aux battle not counting the mages also getting class xp from spamming heal. Even if you don’t grind aux battles I still find it very worthwhile to keep units in archer to master it as hit + 20 is super nice reliability. Hell I trained lysithea through bows before I had dlc just for hit+20
Doing my first playthrough of three houses now and as someone who played Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn I thought Madening would be easy, but the early game is a serious challenge. After that it's super manageable from advanced class onwards.
Also want to put my vote in for best combat art. The sniper teacher gets hunters volley, it's allows archers to auto double guaranteed even on maddening which means they one round any unit. So that would be a better "skill" then hit 20 etc.
It's also super hard to characterize skills by class. Like brawlers get healing focus which is essentially a self heal 50% hp total which is practically an auto include for any melee class. But it's not a "class" skill it's a fist skill associated with a specific line of classes.
Also priest characterization is wrong all white magic classes have highest resist so they can essentially be used to auto pull any mage in the game to take 0 dmg. Far from useless when everything can 1 round u.
Idk, it's a tough thing like what is good? Sword master teacher will attack 4 times to auto 1 round bosses on maddening. She also gets healing focus as a skill strength. So arguably she is the best mid to late game swordmaster.
Ok, sue me if you must, but I prefer Bow Knight to Sniper. I fully understand why people love Sniper so much, and it probably is objectively speaking the better class, but I really love canto and the little extra range cuz of both movement and extra 1 range. It’s weird since in almost every fe I play, I like Sniper a lot more than bow knight. But I like Bow Knight more in this game bc of range mainly, which I know is very weird considering this is the game with by far the most movement increase options in the series (besides FE6 I guess since infinite boots).
Good list - agree with most of it after my NG Maddening AM run. Valkyrie Annette w/Thyrsus really saved me in the first few turns of HBD ("It's over, thieves!") - just wish it had 1 more move. I know how good FIF is with Grappler but it took me so long to get Felix there that it wasn't worth it, since having to use Bows early got him Assassin way before Grappler. I think Sniper's weakness is 5 move otherwise it's as sick as you say. March ring or movement boosters needed. Bow Knight is underwhelming in comparison by the time you finally get it, though the move and range is great. Also what happened to Milo tier? Best tier. EDIT: I found Paladin to be Endgame worthy, especially Dimitri. Maybe just a fluke in my run?
I agree with your list for the most part but one question. I'm on a crimson flower maddening run and I have sylvain and ferdy for swift strikes, you mentioned that paladin isn't an end game class for them, what is?
I would agree that dancers are a good endgame class...in other fire emblems. Since in this one you can spec anyone as whatever you wanr, instead of "wasting" a slot to have someone move twice, I'll just turn the dancer into a good unit instead. Sword avoid is pretty dope tho.
Yeah it’s fun to sometimes just take the Sword Avoid without the dancing, though you could also just have the unit in Swordmaster for growths until important battles where a dancer really helps
FE3H is the one Fire Emblem game where I outright hated / ignored the thief class. The way the devs reshaped the series and gameplay loop with 3H was phenomenal, but it largely made the thief completely useless. In future games they should make thieves a completely utility class and give them some fun abilities like a smoke bomb to reduce enemy accuracy in an area.
Gotta disagree on the Paladin placement--every other Lancefaire class is either gender-locked (Falcon Knight), meme-tier (Great Knight; what lance user is getting that axe/armor rank?), or unique (High/Great Lord, Death Knight). It's the only Lancefaire class that isn't a pain in the ass for Sylvain and Ferdinand, and it's arguably better for Dimitri than Great Lord thanks to its movement, and on that basis I think it should be End Game -.
"Assassin is so good b/c of its high mov stat" "All mortal savant gives is +1 mov over your magic units" Ah yes completely logical and unbiased ranking
Great knight is significantly better in NG+, just off the fact that you can inherit your Riding/Armor Stat and greatly reduce the time investment. But yeah, its nearly impossible to get unless you're either going out of your way to, or you're on easy mode and just going for the free battles to raise stats. Currently doing for some meme builds while we wait for the next FE game.
@@dariustubilda5053 it's a decent enough class once you have it, just rarely worth the investment. If I had to suggest a way to get it, it would be to pick take either cav/paladin, or armor/Fortress Knight to gain passive riding or heavy armor, than focus lessons on the opposite to passively grow both, but it still isn't particularly effective.
Paladin’s stats are really good, and for vengeance units it lets you guard adjutant versus WyLord. 8 move with an easy path to 9 is too good imo Bishop I put up there with Gremory, definitely worse cos of less offense and 4 mv but +10 heal underrated and double warp or rescue is too good. I get why you put it there though I still think Peg Knight is endgamable too, as you said in previous videos. For a “I want a solid unit I don’t invest much in” I don’t think it gets better
@@ardicos2570 Your units can reach a high enough Hp that a Gremory with a healing staff won't fully heal while Bishop will. Plus if a unit is on the map to heal with combat as a secondary option then might as well be in the class with the best healing potential, unless your Flayn or Manuela who for whatever reason don't get Physic.
I really wish they gave holy knight lancefaire and heal increase (or if we really want to buff white magic x2 which might make keeping white tomefaire ok) instead white tomefaire and terrain resistance
There's no way Grappler is better than Wyvern Lord. Wyvern Lord has flying movement, super canto, March Ring reequip, 3h dismount mechanics, and insane stats.
Tbh there's some I disagree with. I think you put a lot of stock into combat arts, like in the form of class exclusive ones. Hunter's Volley I agree with you on, but Fierce Iron Fist I do not. War Master is just such a huge upgrade over grappler, unlike bow knight being sort of a side / down grade to sniper. Things like crit +20 and +5 base strength makes fists go nuts. Just use a killer knuckles and watch war Master go brrrr. I think it's also worth to get brawl avo from war cleric. Speedier units like Felix, Male Byleth, or even Ferdinand (who cares if he doesn't get in a class using his innate skills???), pop off as these near-invulnerable dodge tanks that 4x most enemies with a decent crit chance. It's legit broken. It's honestly a slap in the face against swords to give fists so much access to evasion, high base strength and crit, and even amazing foot movement. Sword classes feel like they have to trade off one to get the other two. I've got like 1.2k hours in maddening mode and I've found that war Master is just the best foot unit in the game when using fists, evasion, and crit. You want all your speedy male units to go into that class (if they can).
My current Ignatz has 81 luck because he snorted all of the luck boosters, I should give him miracle... Nah, fiedish blow Mag +2 Defiant crit Black range and tomefair is better.
Hero has gone on quite a trip. It was considered one of the worst classes in the game and now it’s the best sword class in the game. Reposition is a must if you intend to use fortress knights. Holy knight is a case of a class being ruined by a single skill. If it had lancefaire or swordfaire for the character it was made for, it’d be great.
Hey how's it going new subscriber here, I've beaten my fair share of Fire Emblem games three houses I have eaten like multiple times all route,😏 married all of you ladies, used most of the classes. And defeated every single boss including nemesis. I subscribe because I love Fire Emblem anything. Maybe we can swap strategies and funny story, bt-dubs the least used classes is armored units because they are so slow and they are abilities not so good
I'm watching this on my first playthrough to see what i should max first and you hit me with the massive Rhea spoilers for no reason whatsoever, what a joke
Cavalier is a garbage class. All the characters I've put through it end up suffering later. Rather put them through brigand and then paladin. If you need extra movement, just use a pegasus knight.
Fierce Iron Fist is overrated. It's basically a somewhat worse War Master's Strike, with the sole exception of if you're using Dragon Claws against the Immaculate One or something.
One side note : Please if you intend to spoil something in terms of story, put a note on the title. Example of the spoiler : 13:43 I got heavily spoiled by the sudden spoiler comment!!
My big brother kept yelling at me for keeping felix as a sword master when Felix ms is better and I gave him a few reasons 1. Speed so you can avoid getting doubled as easily 2. Instead of wasting time getting A reason I could've trained felix in axes, bows, gauntlets, or authority 3. His spell list can just be replaced by a forged levin sword that you can get WAY sooner than mortal savant 4. You don't have to waste a master seal which other units can make use of 5. You get to keep sword crit +10 for whatever that's worth with wao dou+
During my playthrough I found that your better off just having 2 units specialising as a Swordmaster and a Warlock instead because as a Mortal Savant you don't have the speed or critical chance bonuses anymore
