people always shit on Ingrid but she fucking CARRIED me through Maddening. She had 11 mov and was absolutely untouchable. She was a capable of clearing out groups of enemies and not even losing more than a third of her health. Meanwhile I had Ashe with death blow and he was so overwhelmingly useless that the only way he could do anything was by using his Hunter’s Volley and even then it was almost nothing
I mean, it's impossible for not-Dimitri (or any student in 3H) to get less than 2 stat levels each level up. It's so hard coded even 0% growths can't disable it. So Bismix has been fairly true to the game. Except it's impossible for not-Dimitri to have 9 str at endgame since his part 2 personal class has a 16 str base, but hey. It's more funny.
It's fun having a strength screwed Ingrid in Blue Lions, only to recruit her in another route and have her destroy anything in her path. That's cool, Ingrid, not like I *NEEDED* those kind of stats against those twenty gremory units in the final chapter.

Meanwhile in Thracia 776 : Saphy is on the front line, waving her staff wildly at the opponents because she's the only unit that got consistent Strength growth.
While everyone associates Ingrid with this my Ingrid has always been a killing machine thanks to Luin, this is basically how Vanessa has been for me instead, on my first run I got her to level 10 before I benched her, you know what her Strength was? 5, she didn't get a single strength level up with the same Strength growth as Ingrid. In my current run she got the Energy Ring this time over Eirika. At least Ingrid gets growth modifiers.
Gabriel Lacarra Martinez 35% base, that's pretty low compared to other physical units, she gets class growth modifiers though so it's higher than what it seems, Vanessa has a flat 35%.
Yosef Santos That was my first play through, in this current one I'm gonna use her, I'll probably make her into a Falcon Knight though since Cormag and Tana are probably gonna be Wyvern Knights.
Not sure where to say this but I'm mad, so here is as good as anywhere else. I subscribed to Bismix only like 2 weeks ago after being recommended the "Non-recruitable characters in a nutshell" video and have periodically watched videos since then. But I get on today and RUclips HAS REMOVED MY SUBSCRIPTION! I was literally watching yesterday! How is this possible!?! Urghh! Regardless, keep up the funny vids Bismix, and I'm glad I discovered this underrated channel.
Man sometimes those dings are so satisfying and then i put my reading glasses and see its everything but speed and strength, realizing that there is no thing as true progress in this unforgiving world. Thanks fire emblem
This reminds me of that one time I did a FE7 run, using only units mounted on horseback. And Lowen got 1 speed in 18 lvl ups, sure his growth is only 30% but still. Benched.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I've had Sain cap strength, Kent cap speed, and Lowen cap defense all in the same playthrough. That was a fun one.
Wow, cool. Yeah, every time I use Sain he always caps his strength, it's great. Lowen does have great defensive stats I will give him that, the man just needs to double.
*This is why we restart chapters/normal fights* But for real, I'm pretty lenient in getting bad levels if they get at least 3 stats and one of them being Strength, Speed, or Dex. I think these stats are really important.
@@Sonicstriforce Well if you play any of the older games you'll be resetting all the time with that mentality. Constant 3+ stats per level up wouldn't become a thing until Awakening (aside from PoR and RD Bonus XP level ups, which always level 3 stats) Also I don't ever reset level ups, that feels TOO cheaty.
Considering the spear and crown, I'm pretty sure that's meant to be Dimitri. No amount of probability in the world could give Dimitri a bad strength by endgame.
"Me of all people?! Really?!" -Lorenz every goddamn time I leveled him up. Poor fucker was basically the team mascot by the end of my Verdant Wind playthrough because RNGesus hated him.
On my current playthrough of FE8, my Eirika has leveled strength on every level and I honestly think the pandemic happened just to balance out the world’s luck
You're not wrong. However, that's by design. She is designed to be a glass cannon. Also, just give Lysithea Thyrsus, 4head. Then you get to play Sniper Elite.
Hey man, been watching since the old FEH guides. Glad to see that you are getting the views that you deserve. Your channel is a real gem in this community, and I would love to see you tackle some ironman/commentary runs of your favorite games. I know I'd watch
"Please get strength please get strength please get strength please get strength please get strength p-" _Gets multiple magic growths but little strength_ "Guess not, mage class for you!" I'm honestly glad that modern titles have both Mag and Str at the same time so I can have backup plans
And then you get those rare playthroughs where a character who has no business being your best unit just decide to level str spd skl every single level up. I'll never forget my Rebecca who one rounded Varja on hard mode
I feel this on a spiritual level... The stance he has holding the "spear" is the same as Lorenz. I didn't know Lorenz was a mage boy, and I tried making him a cav. I've never seen such a strenght and speed screwed unit like my first Lorenz.
My Lugh whenever I play fe6 is always blessed with great magic, but magic is so good in that game with high accuracy and such that it’s not a huge problem if he misses some magic level ups. His speed on the other hand makes him one of my favorite units since his doubling consistency is great after very few levels (unless you get speed screwed obviously), also Aircalibur is very useful late game
That lance wielding stance reminded me of Lorenz. If I recall correctly, my Lorenz only got 3 points of speed leveling up. That's speed screwed if I've ever saw one
My favorite thing is when you fight a student at Gronder and she (*cough* Ingrid) is an absolute beast, but when you recruit her (*cough* Ingrid), she suddenly can’t kill anything.
"it's a 50% growth!!" While waiting for Three Houses to release I was playing PoR. Ike decided to get 4 str in 21 levels (I never finished) like he was convinced he was a Myrmidion. Then I thought the curse transfered to 3H because it took Dimitri until lvl 11 to get a single point in str, but after that he started getting it pretty much every level thankfully.
Unlucky; Dimitri, at his base class of noble has a 60% growth rate, which means there was a .01% chance of that happening, you won the "fuck you lottery"!
Damn... I got 1 stat leveling up... But I can't fall here! I must restart my entire save!
I do that religiously until everything goes my way. Every single level up for my Ingrid has involved getting strength.
That is basically my Path of Radiance Run. Every time a Unit got no Stats Up after an Level Up I resetet the whole chapter, EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME.
At this point you might as well emulate the game and use save states, more commonly known as the save staff.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this lol

That's not a problem when you already have amazing base stats and are available from the very first chapter of the game.

But that’s like his thing he has a base of 60% strength with 20 % increase with his unique class you’re telling me you didn’t get any strength 😂
@@colbytabor4069 that's...what it means to get stat screwed? a unit's good at a certain stat, but they never level in it, anyway
Himanochi yeah no I get it my Sylvain has gone like 10 levels with no strength same with Dimitri on my current run my last one was probably my best run with like 65+ strength on Dimitri and a 71 speed Petra
Himanochi I’ve had two stat levels for characters but they were their best stat chance so I was okay with it but it does suck when you don’t get the stats you want
This is like every level of the starting characters in FE6

My Bors is so blessed, I want him to stay.

high spd, high def, high str, high luck, high reliability

Its mostly about Defense.
I'm seriously not afraid to dispatch him against the Cavalry with the Horseslayer on Chapter 13 now.
I just hate that Chapter with a passion and I forgot that I'm not using an Armor Knight like at all and questioned myself how hard it is.
This video was inspired by Mangs' Ike in his Path of Radiance Iron Man.

@@samirjohnson4524 Yeah, I know, not a well-aged comment.
@@jeremystinson2124 It's not your fault.
It’s ok you could’ve just said Ingrid.
27 levels without a single str growth.
Am I mad? No, of course not! She can use chest keys after all!
My ingrid had 13 strength by the last chapter of blue lions. Nice pfp btw.
Nintendo wouldn't like that. I'm surprised that theh let him have Tearing Through Heaven.
I just made her a dancer, if she couldn't help in the fight she can at least inspire others to fight.
@@lasumexaranethon7230 bruh if you make her a pegasus knight she literally cannot be hit.
I forgot Three Houses existed and was thinking "How are you playing Awakening on the Switch?"
Oof
"Wow! Guy is great, he doubles a lot and 1 turn kills most enemies!"
>Killing edge is broken and 3dmgx2 intensifies
"Alright, insta bench. Welcome aboard Raven".
WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY WAIFU GUY!!!!!!?????
This video is basically me with dorcas in fe 7, he always gets mediocre level ups, so I just pump him with every stat booster available.
Why would you use dorcas anyway? Your clearly having bad experiences with him and he's a fairly crap unit anyway so why not just give those boosters to better units?
Since he's my favorite character, I know he's bad, but I really like him, even if he's not very good.
@@weskerhere fair enough. Personally he's just not fun to use for me so I've only given him a chance once and used him as a bench warmer ever since. He does have some good memes though.
Wesker here I’m playing Fe7 with a friend of mine who hasn’t played earlier than Awakening and our Dorcas is an absolute titan. His defenses are still mediocre but offensively he can one round almost anything besides bosses
@@KyuuStarr you got lucky with his growths , or you have him a shit ton of unvestment. Plenty of other units don't need as much investment to be good or don't need to get as lucky with level ups as forced does.
Meanwhile in Thracia 776 : Saphy is on the front line, waving her staff wildly at the opponents because she's the only unit that got consistent Strength growth.
Staffy needs that extra strength for... something.
@@maltheopia Messing around with her "staff," I imagine.
Sounds like she'd be at home in Radiant Dawn
Growths or Bases?
Pitfalls
Warp staves
OMASTAR
Bismix
Personality. But if I had to pick one I’d probably say growths cause they’re less likely to drop off
Bases, gimme that usability
*Canas gets every stat +1*
Bisquik: BuT hE dIdN't GeT sTrEnGtH
you literally cannot get a str level on mages in blazing sword tho. they dont have a str stat
@@Vanessa_exe Welcome to the joke
Want a unit that levels strength all the time but literally nothing else? Atlas is the character for you.
At the monastery : Whew, I’ve gained a lot of strength thanks to my training!
Also in battle : *_*goes 17 levels without gaining any strength*_*
While everyone associates Ingrid with this my Ingrid has always been a killing machine thanks to Luin, this is basically how Vanessa has been for me instead, on my first run I got her to level 10 before I benched her, you know what her Strength was? 5, she didn't get a single strength level up with the same Strength growth as Ingrid. In my current run she got the Energy Ring this time over Eirika. At least Ingrid gets growth modifiers.
I agree plus you could put Ingrid in the Brigand class and pick up death blow.
@@cosmic_rider3 Ingrid has a strength problem? I didn't knew that. Huh maybe is because i always make her go brigand/WyvernRider/WyvernLord 🤣🤣🤣
Well then, promote her to Wyvern Knight. The Pierce skill will really help you. (Pierce activating=Level of unit, max 20)
Gabriel Lacarra Martinez 35% base, that's pretty low compared to other physical units, she gets class growth modifiers though so it's higher than what it seems, Vanessa has a flat 35%.
Yosef Santos That was my first play through, in this current one I'm gonna use her, I'll probably make her into a Falcon Knight though since Cormag and Tana are probably gonna be Wyvern Knights.
Not sure where to say this but I'm mad, so here is as good as anywhere else. I subscribed to Bismix only like 2 weeks ago after being recommended the "Non-recruitable characters in a nutshell" video and have periodically watched videos since then. But I get on today and RUclips HAS REMOVED MY SUBSCRIPTION! I was literally watching yesterday! How is this possible!?! Urghh! Regardless, keep up the funny vids Bismix, and I'm glad I discovered this underrated channel.
Who needs strength when you've got
*dramatic closeup*
Effective damage
People that play Fe7,8 and localised PoR
@@lookslikedekulink FE8 and Japanese FE7 use x3, all versions of FE9 use x2.
Man sometimes those dings are so satisfying and then i put my reading glasses and see its everything but speed and strength, realizing that there is no thing as true progress in this unforgiving world. Thanks fire emblem
*me with tears in my eyes:* Ingrid please level up once in strength please!
And then when you DO get a level up in strength, its ONLY strength.
This reminds me of that one time I did a FE7 run, using only units mounted on horseback. And Lowen got 1 speed in 18 lvl ups, sure his growth is only 30% but still. Benched.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, I've had Sain cap strength, Kent cap speed, and Lowen cap defense all in the same playthrough.
That was a fun one.
Wow, cool. Yeah, every time I use Sain he always caps his strength, it's great. Lowen does have great defensive stats I will give him that, the man just needs to double.
@@BeanBurritos33 Lowen's Speed base is actually pretty high, so he doesn't need to hit his growth that often to double slower enemies.
Reminds me of my Ike with more res than strength, and equal strength with Mia once I recruited her.
*This is why we restart chapters/normal fights*
But for real, I'm pretty lenient in getting bad levels if they get at least 3 stats and one of them being Strength, Speed, or Dex.
I think these stats are really important.
>Calling a 3 stat level up bad
You don't know the horrors of low growth rate hell. Ever seen a 0 stat level up?
@@red5t653 Ever seen a negative stat level up? :'(
@@red5t653 I thought it was a no brainier that level ups below 3 stats were an instant reset.
@@Sonicstriforce Well if you play any of the older games you'll be resetting all the time with that mentality. Constant 3+ stats per level up wouldn't become a thing until Awakening (aside from PoR and RD Bonus XP level ups, which always level 3 stats)
Also I don't ever reset level ups, that feels TOO cheaty.
So, Ferdinand, basically. At least in my experiences with him. This game is noble-phobic
This reminds me of how in my BL playthrough my Sylvain ONLY gained speed when I class changed him to a Cavalier class (ironic)...after the timeskip
1:04 "Mom said it's my turn on the Switch."
>Imagine not soft-resetting when getting more than 1 terrible level up
>lunatic conquest
Gratz on 20k!
Considering the spear and crown, I'm pretty sure that's meant to be Dimitri. No amount of probability in the world could give Dimitri a bad strength by endgame.
Even if he did have bad strength, you could still set him up for a crit vantage build and kill everything that isn't a monster before it attacks him.
dimitri is good whenever and forever even if his crest is p bad
You’d literally have to purposely soft reset for every level to get a bad strength for big eyepatch man.
>When a physical unit gets +Magic but not +Strength
MAGIC IS EVERYTHING
Shoutouts to Leonardo for having more strength than Nolan
"Me of all people?! Really?!" -Lorenz every goddamn time I leveled him up. Poor fucker was basically the team mascot by the end of my Verdant Wind playthrough because RNGesus hated him.
On my current playthrough of FE8, my Eirika has leveled strength on every level and I honestly think the pandemic happened just to balance out the world’s luck
Ironically, Dimitri was the only one in ny Ashen Wolves playthrough who ever got Strength.
you might as well delete your save file if it's so cursed that fucking Dmitri of all people is getting strength screwed
@@gypsysprite4824 Dimitri was the only one to get strength
@@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436 ...i see. also, replying to a 2-year old reply.
Lysithea 99% of the time. Can nuke almost any character in the game but if she’s so much as touched by a stick she’s dead 🤦♂️
You're not wrong. However, that's by design. She is designed to be a glass cannon.
Also, just give Lysithea Thyrsus, 4head. Then you get to play Sniper Elite.
Fortress knight her🤭
My question is why are your mages getting hit?
@@Liezuli Bad rng. I can't tell you how many times I'd had a unit for to a less than 50% accuracy attack in 3H
@@librathebeautifulwarmonk1283 No, I mean why are they in enemy attack range to begin with?
Hey man, been watching since the old FEH guides. Glad to see that you are getting the views that you deserve. Your channel is a real gem in this community, and I would love to see you tackle some ironman/commentary runs of your favorite games. I know I'd watch
So that's what the pool noodle was for lol

"Please get strength please get strength please get strength please get strength please get strength p-"
_Gets multiple magic growths but little strength_
"Guess not, mage class for you!"
I'm honestly glad that modern titles have both Mag and Str at the same time so I can have backup plans

-Mekkah's fanbase
this is why i love fixed growth in engage maddening 😂
How I felt when my Falcon Knight Ingrid had more magic than strength... (thank Sothis for stat boosters)
i like the props and the way that reflects the grow moment so well
And then you get those rare playthroughs where a character who has no business being your best unit just decide to level str spd skl every single level up. I'll never forget my Rebecca who one rounded Varja on hard mode
This may be one of the greatest video thumbnails I've seen in recent months.
The Mekkah Alear experience
The yell is so visceral and real. It still gets me 😂
Haha this was literally Ferdinand on my Black Eagles playthrough.
I feel this on a spiritual level... The stance he has holding the "spear" is the same as Lorenz. I didn't know Lorenz was a mage boy, and I tried making him a cav. I've never seen such a strenght and speed screwed unit like my first Lorenz.
Lugh in fe6 always seems to get magic screwed.
I seem to always get strength screwed with lyn and Elwood in fe7 making them do almost no damage.
edge lord seems like I wasn’t the only one with the Lugh problem
I dont think you lyn and eliwood got screwed thats just how they are
On Chapter 13 My lvl 3 sage Lugh has 21 Mag and 14 Def... sometimes we get lucky
My Lugh whenever I play fe6 is always blessed with great magic, but magic is so good in that game with high accuracy and such that it’s not a huge problem if he misses some magic level ups. His speed on the other hand makes him one of my favorite units since his doubling consistency is great after very few levels (unless you get speed screwed obviously), also Aircalibur is very useful late game
@@arceuskiller115 Eliwood has a chance to be decent, Lyn just has no strength ever.

0:05 That spear, that pose, that level up.......seems like that's the rng screwed Ingrid you talked about in that other video
Oh, but Ingrid (and everyone else when not mounted) holds lances differently. ^That's Dimitri's stance.
@@lyndiss.2017 no way in hell Dimitri would get that strength-screwed. He is an unstoppable monster.
@@M12GProductions *never* doubt the absolutly shit and/or drunk luck some people have
GypsySprite yeah but you’d have to have the shittiest luck across two separate universes to get strength screwed with Dimitri
Dons a cape, a pool noodle lance, and is a king..... Dimitri is that you?
We’ve all been there, sorry man.
How it FEELS to watch Rutger forget to level speed 7 times in a row
That lance wielding stance reminded me of Lorenz. If I recall correctly, my Lorenz only got 3 points of speed leveling up. That's speed screwed if I've ever saw one
My favorite thing is when you fight a student at Gronder and she (*cough* Ingrid) is an absolute beast, but when you recruit her (*cough* Ingrid), she suddenly can’t kill anything.
Anybody have this happening to Alear playing engage right now?
Very good
"it's a 50% growth!!" While waiting for Three Houses to release I was playing PoR. Ike decided to get 4 str in 21 levels (I never finished) like he was convinced he was a Myrmidion.
Then I thought the curse transfered to 3H because it took Dimitri until lvl 11 to get a single point in str, but after that he started getting it pretty much every level thankfully.
Unlucky; Dimitri, at his base class of noble has a 60% growth rate, which means there was a .01% chance of that happening, you won the "fuck you lottery"!
0:50
"IT'S A 50% GROWTH!! WHAT THE FU-!!!"
