*sigh* Videos like this remind me of way I have come to dislike the FE community in recent years. The problem was never the convention of efficiency; it was an intentionally vague convention those of us who liked to discuss units agreed upon because it differentiated units more effectively than any other set of assumptions. It took many years and new ideas to come into its own. If anything, the current meta is way less strict than it used to be since, for example, ideas like "it can often be beneficial to promote before lv. 20" became more widespread. No, the problem came when less-veteran players or community members became influenced by those who came before them and took the conventions out of context in order to justify some weird sense of superiority above even newer players. Just like in other genres and series, the meta and tier lists were never meant for new players to adhere to. The purpose was to merely for veterans to compare and contrast units and for new players to simply take ideas from *if they wanted to*. They were never a guideline for how to play. Veterans are not immune from using characters they simply like, using characters that would give them a challenge, or using "meme builds". In fact, it was this experimentation by the community that the current meta was built on the back of. Telling me that my last FE7 playthrough where I killed the fire dragon with Kent was "inefficient" will only get a response of "I know and it's awesome". Then again, players that feel as if tier lists or conventions that have evolved over the past 20+ years need to care about their own personal playstyles are infinitely more annoying. The "golden runs" that these tier lists imply almost never happen in reality outside of maybe some challenge runs. How I actually play isn't defined by the meta any more than any other player's is. I'm not going to tell someone how to play, but I'm also not going to care about someone who thinks their preferences should be validated over the contributions of thousands of players since FE7 was released. I also will never tell someone how to play or expect someone to play according to the meta, so I really don't get where this entitlement comes from.

Will there be time for Scarlet to get Trample or will her main presence on this run be a magic pair up partner for Saizo? Can’t wait to see the set up for the later rout maps!

Every time, without fail, I will always be confused by the setup or execution of these videos and wonder how it will work. Then somebody dies like I expected and I instantly remember that you’re playing on Phoenix mode.

As someone who only plays on normal mode and likes to take my time with clearing each map, I don't even try to start discussions in the community because I know my opinions would immediately get shut down lol.

I feel like "efficiency" nowadays boils down to which unit build can kill the hardest bosses with multiple lifebars in one turn, and not being able to figure out how to do the same on your own means you're not a skilled player, and you should restart your run because you gave the wrong skill/statbooster/reclass item to the wrong character since chapter 1.

For some reason I forgot that there was a generic Faceless for the Lunge strategy, so I thought there might be a Rescue chain involved, lol. Great clear as usual!

I now have the mental image of Saizo just punching down the wall to one turn the boss.

1:28 "Izana is a lot like Ryoma" words never spoken before XD

Subaki bros

Subaki best unit

Fire emblem fans hate using growth units because doing so requires them to be good at the game

GOATory… love how much you invested in him!

This video was awesome. Thanks so much for doing the work

Oh weird fire emblem builds nobody could ever make me hate you

I didn’t even know who Gregory was until you showed the picture lmao

>not using the griss outfit mod disappointed

best boy, 100% on marrying him

Great video, would love to see any more cool Engage builds you can cook up.

Gregory is my baby girl, first time i used him was thoron vantage sweeping with Veronica, but i never thought about using Camilla ill definitely try this in my next run

You should do more of this.

celica doesn't come for a while but I love doing the OHKO vantage/reprisal build with her, especially since with enough dmg u can kill two enemies per turn with echo and kill lategame enemies with warp ragnarok across the map

I actually came up with a similar build to this in my first playthrough. Vantage +++ and Reprisal+ were my skills. I also ended up giving him Celica so the resonance skill could let him take a big hit before letting him gradually lower his own hp. I called it “Power Through Pain”

I really love this build. I always feel that Gregory is a good unit, so this gets an A+ in my book. You should try a Wyvern Knight Gregory. As a WK, both of his offensive stats are both 50%, and both defenses are both 55%, which would maybe make a good, well-rounded unit. For a emblem, I feel Hector works especially with the runesword.

Griss could never

'it would be more reliable to fight odin. however i can't bring myself to defeat him' mood. mood

Odin surviving and a lot of dual strikes on a single turn? Based clear

i personally consider this map to be among the worst in birthright so seeing it cleared in only a single turn is very satisfying (also i keep forgetting fates has silver weapons considering i never use them due to the stat drops)

1100 Gold is a small price to pay for Odin's survival

How did IS let this chapter design get past the drawing board

Double Shelter in one turn? That’s so cool!

This feels like magic

Yout wrong noune can use bantu an having 0 move makes any game imposibal to win and with 0 helth if you don't belibe me play randomizers

Nice strat!

That's me at 12:10. I've come to realize that tier lists are a waste of time and nothing more than mental masturbation for people who have too much time on their hands. The notion of efficiency is a waste of people's time as well.

I don't find "optimally efficient" playthroughs fun. Unit builds trend toward homogeneity, research on chapters is favored over improvisation, and any unit requiring investment is benched. These undermine the fun for me, often under the premise that they are "objectively" better. But the objective for me is FUN -- so why would obey arbitrary rules that drain the fun from my play?

... that was a very beautiful series of shelters and flying. stars????

Neat series! This map in particular was very neat

Yippee! Just discovered your channel and I'm very excited. There's such an unfortunate lack of commentated LTCs and Challenge runs on youtube

Nicely done! This map is one of my favorites.

Loved this. Got back into my gba games after a Hiatus post twitter blow up finally. They are my comfort food. Subbed

I always love rout maps being completed in such a small number of turns, even if the enemies aren’t quite as complex as the ones from like, Cog of Destiny. It’s so satisfying to watch enemies kill themselves onto your best units.

When I first got into Fire Emblem back in the GBA days, the community consensus was that characters like Nino were top tier while characters like Marcus were trash. After about a decade, the consensus was the complete opposite. I've learned 2 things from watching the discussion change over time. 1. Most people are just parroting the opinions of other people. 2. Unit tier lists are pretty irrelevant to most playthrus, so just use the units you enjoy.
