![BEST UNITS IN THE GAME?!? | Meta Report [FEH]](/img/1.gif)
1:05 quick correction. For Duo Sanaki, I had been running into the remote mirror/fleeting echo builds. I should’ve either showcased that build, or mentioned Tyran’s quote, “I think sanaki is hard to kill back because u ded before you get to hit back”
Apologies for the confusion
What is frustrating me right now is the skill inheritance being limited to 4 after attuned heroes was released 🤡
Just getting to 5 will allow us to inherit two tier 4 skills and a tier 3 skill, provided you have the prefodder. (Duo Byleth being one example)
This
am i huffing too much copium to think they'll fit this during the anniversary?
Still to this day, the inheritance video from Attuned Nino is just so funny but in a bad way 🤣
Guess what?
Powercreep heroes can be frustrating, but what really bothers me is that it is getting tougher to max invest into more units as time goes on. Flower caps get bumped every year but it feels like we aren't getting a higher amount to compensate, and we are actively getting less Ascended heroes and thus less florets due to Rearmed and Attuned heroes taking some of those banner spaces. I want to be able to make more units reach their full potential but the resources just aren't there.
It’s tough when skill creep is going on at the exact same time. Max potential is a moving target that is so expensive to keep up with. Who are your core units?
@@FEH I'm a dolphin/sometimes whale, so my barracks is blessed more than most. I end up using a lot of resources on these newer units, so when older units get cool refines or arcane weapon access, it's hard to divert flowers to them because they need so many more. Florets are even more of an issue. I really just think it would be nice if IS made more of these resources available/earnable across the board, since a lot of the fun of the game for me is taking units I like or who suddenly get cool refines/abilities and making them perform to the best of their abilities.
@@OmegaRed64 Thats exactly why we are missing a PVE mode which gives us more output and they have the perfect ground structure of it...the tower...they just need to make it as fun and rewarding as in FE8. I bet it wouldnt make their profits shorter...even then, there is always the possibility to cap the amount of times you can access for F2P and give benefits to FEH pass.
Overall they should change the rewards for most of the modes...but instead we get autobattle...
@@FEH Literally the game has gotten worse on key text that it is on par with yugioh...Lack of care for the long term player. Feh is fine for new accounts on getting meta shit because of all the book stuff prior but older players are especially punished now...make OG ike example easy to +10. However new axcounts now can't get book 1,2,3 cyl which is such a losuy move ngl. They might not be as good now but people voted for that shit...brave pick one hero in that should stay.
3 star pool should just not exist and put it to five stars. F2p units tend to have very bad kits that come with them still...besides a few times. Better combat forcast on warp abilities. 3:50 3:50
I love my favorite units that Ive pain stakeingly spent years +10ing suddenly be useless against +0 uber broken power crept new units.
it's really frustrating and feels like it's happening at an accelerated rate.
The hero that grinds my gears? Edelgard, or maybe Edelgard... but perhaps Edelgard? I can't quite decide between those.
she has a habit of blowing things up. do you think it's inevitable that we get baby edelgard for the kid banner this may?
@FEH I think we'll get bunny Edelgard first, but maybe the year after, we'll get the baby 3h banner with her.
Honestly for me the existence of dancers is more difficult for me than any single unit that has come out recently. They're just so hard to play around
Bridal fjorm has helped me out a lot in this regard, but its bizarre theyve made isolation so rare
@@Christian-zq2ph also Freyr
@@Christian-zq2ph freyr just cancels everything its so difficult. And then there’s unbreakable saviors & catria/cordelia
which one gives you the most issues?
@@FEH All of the cavalry dancers. They hit like wet noodles but they can travel so far to dance their allies. I've been saying for a while that dancers make threat range infinite, and with the insane mobility the meta nukes have that's true more than ever
That opening of "Are you frustrated with FEH?" had some real Billy Mays vibes to it haha
We’ll be sponsored by oxi-clean soon 😁
The unit that is driving me nuts is IS!
Investing in systems is a good answer for the problem but we shouldn't even have that problem. That said I would rather drop the game than to not use characters I care about. It's also frustating how tanking never gets a break while Galeforce gets basically no counters. I never liked being super offensive even on the mainline games but FEH basically forces my playstyle. I still can't get over how they made Claude then a direct counter so fast.
i've been really confused about the galeforce bias lately. this year feels like it's been an end turn arms race. it's kind of exhausting.
This video describes exactly why I think I need a break in FEH right now. I never had one since I restarted nplaying but yeah there's just no way I can go back to competitive. I think it's better for me just to go and leave for a few weeks then come back.
I strongly suggest you to do it. I did took a break and I came back stronger with a clearer view on how the game works and what to do to improve my strategies and which units to invest into.
at the end of the day, this is a game. if it's not fun for you, i'd definitely encourage putting it down. i certainly hope you come back to it but, do what's right for you.
Banger video, I have no enemies who trouble me because I believe in Arden and thus am supreme
There are many many things that are super frustrating about the game
1- Some rules, like the scoring system are never properly explained, so many years later....
2- The summoning pool is over bloated with so much garbage it makes getting something at all a fools errand, specially on colorless...
3- In AR when they manage to get you, you still have to wait the whole turn for the enemy team to keep on kicking on your corpse till you can surrender (has to be one of the most infuriating things, specially when they get you with one of those unpredictable movement shenannigans...)
4- when you are matched against a giga whale, I know you still can beat them with the proper units and blah blah blah... but its still super frustrating when you get trashed by someone who pays loads of cash just to beat you on a phone game.... Like you are pitted against an impossible challenge. And then you imagine them taking pride in how they beat you with the power of credit card, and get the urge to vomit...
5- Fehs voice in the feh channel, when she says "flap flap" its super cringe.... Forging Bonds, or Fjorging Fjorms also suffers from this, 99% of the dialogues are crigey stuff about the power of frenshep and all that cheap anime writting...
6- How cheap they are on the fodder with the ftp units. Im not expecting them to give us some prime 4 skill, but its 2024 and they put drive atk 2 on a newer grail unit...
7- How in arena you have to over bloat your units with expensive skills to supposedly score higher, while the enemy team doesnt have to follow such stupid rules. Hence you have to put some rally instead of reposition and get to lose a ton of matches simply for the lack of useful skills that you have, but arent allowed to use....
8- The bonus unit system, you may have favourite units, but you can almost never use them as you like. You have limited slots on the teams, and you have to put 1 legendary or 3 mythics, a bonus unit and then you are very limited on the units you actually want to use. Also the bonus units are always the newest ones. I would add a 3rd row of them with entirely randomized units, just to give more choices.
There are probably more, but those are the ones I can think about right now...
that's a lot of good points, but i wanted to touch on just a few.
1) WHY DO WE NEED AN OUTSIDE CALCULATOR FOR ARENA SCORING? this will never not drive me crazy
6) i'm hoping we see an update to this in the anniversary FEH channel. even if they just increase the inheritance cap, i'll be appeased.
8) the bonus system, especially in AR, needs an overhaul. it makes it feel like i play with the exact same units every week + someone i have to slot in.
Ya know Doc, I think right now what I’m the most angry about is how hard it’s starting to get for me as a casual player to run the Askr trio. What I can’t believe hasn’t happened yet is a promotion for them. In every fire emblem game, the main lord gets some sick promotion class. Maybe this is just a Roy situation and it’ll be right at the end they evolve.
Literally this. I’m lucky that my Alfonse is a god but it took FOREVER-
have you seen the meme comparing legendary Vero to OG Alfonse? i laughed... then cried. every time we see these cinematic where alfonse beats someone like gullveig, i've started rolling my eyes.
@@FEH I did! Did you also catch, in I believe Book VII’s login art, Alfonse appears to have a different sword than Folkvangr. Got me real excited at first.
@@tomanders4746 Askr upgrades have to come someday, right?
I think the one thing that’s been bugging me a lot recently is how much the skill inheritance creep is increasing while they’re still not letting stuff like Atk/Spd finish 3 be in the normal pool. Why do I have to wait 12 months to pull Young Rebecca just to fodder off Severa without missing any skills?? And then there’s stuff like Soaring Guidance 4 and Atk/Spd Pledge which is useful but only locked on a good unit which I’d have to sacrifice just to make my objectively worse unit a bit better? I can’t even enjoy building my favorite units atp and it’s so annoying
skill availability drives me CRAZY. the thing is, atk/spd finish 3 would be so good on a lot of budget builds. i'm running into this problem with atk/spd clash 3 right now.
At this point, it might be easier to point to a mode in Feh that isn't frustrating to play. Unfortunately said mode has yet to return because they can't monetize Seer's Snare like they can Hall of Forms and Binding Worlds. Every other game mode has very many faults that make it a chore to play.
Aether Raids was fairly fun mode, but it really hasn't aged very well. For me, the lopsided power of the mythics is the biggest downside to a mode like this. Light season is probably the weakest season of the 4. Far too many offense mythics than support ones (like who is actually using Ullr? Genuinely). Their competition in Dark season is... stacked. Yune, Hel, Bramimond, Medeus, Embla, Kvasir, what is Light supposed to do? Embla and Medeus are their own breed of cancerous design, shutting down entire playstyles for merely existing. The fact that we do not have a False Starter in Light season after an entire year of not being able to use Save units in Light season is absurd. They'd probably sooner give Dark season its own Freyr equivalent before they give Light season anything substantial. Astra is definitely the better of the offense seasons. They've been getting pandered too hard this past Book alone. Seiðr, Heiðr, Veyle, and now Ratatoskr. Easily the top 4 Astra mythics alone. Now if only they didn't neuter Elimine with Freyr's existence. Elimine was the perfect tool for dealing with cancer like Harmonized Catria or Legendary Robin. Why they thought giving the advantage to the defense team was a good idea, I'll never know, other than a lack of intelligence. The rest of Astra is pretty garbage. Naga, Plumeria, Reginn, Thorr, Ashera, only Altina stands out and even she's not the end all be all mythic. And no you'll never convince me that Plumeria is a top tier of good mythic. Anima is also on the rise. Arval, Fomortiis, Freyr, Gullveig, Mirabilis, Thrasir, everybody is pretty great except the other 4. Fomortiis being able to end your actions is absolutely disgusting. It's one thing for Seiðr to be able to shut actions down, but hers is more balanced since it only goes off 3 times in the entire match, and you still need to meet the Res check to do it. Fomortiis just does it anytime you fail to KO him, and he hits multiple units instead of the usual one from Seiðr. Stupid. This is also a mode that has never been revamped, and it really needs one. The fact that there are ways for the defensive line to reach yours on turn 1 is ridiculous. Suped up cav lines and Legendary Hinoka squads have trained players to just bring the Escape Ladder and Bonus structure during their offense season. It's too risky to have more than those because if you run into said comps, which you will, your units will have no spaces to go anywhere. That is poor map design. It also makes all of the structures worthless, though they have been for quite some time. Offense teams have to run all of 1 structure at a time while Defense teams get to run all 6. That is extremely lopsided. Even if you could run those structures, almost all of them are worthless. Bolt Tower doesn't work in Light Season, Tactics Room is dependent on its placement, and it might not even work thanks to all the teleportation, Catapult is also placement dependent. The Movement Schools probably could be decent were it not for Legendary Robin or even Turn Recovery healers cleansing it. The Bright and Dark Shrines are pretty worthless, really only working for defense. Nobody uses Duo's Indulgence. Every team runs Duo's Hinderance, so a second Duo skill use isn't even in the cards, let alone a first use. The only good ones are the Safety Fence, and I'm not even 100% sure how that works, and the Escape Ladder, for obvious reasons. These structures need to be reworked, as does the map. That was a long one. Let's speed this up a bit.
Arena is just a free summon to me. The scoring requirements and the fact that you need both a bonus unit and said unit to score all the KOs killed it otherwise. Arena Assault is whatever. It is disappointing that it's one of the few ways to get Refining Stones though. Allegiance Battles is just free rewards. Nothing noteworthy other than annoying title rotations like Three Houses or Heroes. Resonant Battles is... meh. The only annoyance is whenever TMS is a bonus title. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad if there weren't all of 5 units for them. And Summoner Duels... is just aids. I wasn't a huge fan of the mode when it initially came out so I dropped it. Looking at the rewards however, there are 8 unique weapon refines worth of Divine Dew sitting there waiting to be acquired. So I decided to give it a try again with my Kana to build her score up. That was a very unpleasant experience. Nothing but the latest Christmas and New Years and Legendary/Mythic units. That mode is truly a lost cause. I can't even feasibly build up score without using the very same cancer everyone else is. It's not a great strategy game when the winning strategy is using the latest and greatest and having deep pockets. It's no wonder nobody likes this mode. I couldn't even tone down the difficulty by doing a Book 3 and prior only run, as there were no participants at all. It's a dead mode, and a waste of resources.
As for the event modes, I'll only mention the notable ones. Affinity Auto Battles was a waste of resources. The only good thing to come out of it is the Affinity Checker dialogue, and I don't even care about that really. Pawns of Loki is also not that fun. All it took was Far Save and Near Savers to ruin that mode early on and it never recovered in my eyes. Such an unfun auto mode that doesn't even have good rewards. Frontline Phalanx... I have no idea who made this mode, and I'd say that I hope that the person who thought of it never made another gane mode... but they clearly did. Lost Lore is another auto mode we don't need but at least it was the first. Rokkr Sieges and Grand Conquest are unappealing at this point. And finally Forging Bonds. I absolutely detest that they only made the Brave one give out 1000 of each Dragonflower, but I'll get into that next. My biggest annoyance with the mode is the permapool lineup that shows up. This idiots had the foresight to take out units like Surtr and Fallen Dimitri & Edelgard from being randomly generated in Training Tower and other content... and yet they've allowed all the other modern units to show up. I don't always use the strongest units in this mode. It gives out more Bond than usual so I like to cycle in units who have low bond or that I'd like to build up. So whenever units like Diamant, Lucia, Alear, Citrinne, Ascended Elincia and Tiki show up... ugh. This mode needs to unit cap at a certain point. These annoyances just kill a run, and sure it's only 10 stamina lost, but they shouldn't pop up period.
And of course, what is more frustrating than resource creep? There are over 1000 heroes in the game now. Many of them have weapon refines, both small and unique. Many vary a lot on how many Dragonflowers they require. Some heroes you'd even like to have a second Boon to make them stronger. So why the flippy floppy do we get so little resources to make our heroes stronger?! It takes over 3000+ dragonflowers to take an og unit to max. They barely give them out in any capacity that isn't double digits, and sometimes for quests even just single digit. If we wanted to give every hero 600 flowers, (assuming each movement typr has equal amount of heroes, which they don't) it'd take 150,000 flowers per movement type to give them a boost, and that's just the first 5 dragonflowers out of potentially 30. How about giving a second boon? Unfortunately there are only 15 Ascended Florets in the game, and you need to summon 14 unique heroes to get all but the tutorial Floret. That's not even a fraction of a fraction of the amount of heroes in this game. Sure you won't use one of these on every hero and you'll save them for your favorites... but that's still nothing to work with, especially if you have more than 15 favorites. Refining stones and Divine Dew also come very rarely. We get 5 or more refines every month. You have to pick and choose who's going to eat your very limited supply of Dew when there are so many characters with unique refines. Not all of them are good, especially the early on ones, but still. It's ridiculous that you can't refine characters that might desperately need it. And we still can only take 4 skills away from an inheritance run. The fact that we have these brand new Echo skills but you still have to choose it and 3 other skills instead of the Echo being a freebie is stupid and greedy. It's already bad enough that you need an entire skill tree due to a lack of level 3 availability and the demote pool still receiving outdated fodder, but you also need multiple copies of said hero if you want more of their skills. It's unacceptable and it makes building units extremely limiting and tedious. Not that it helps anyways considering how strong everything is becoming. Why bother building up New Year's Kana when she doesn't stand a chance agaisnt a large majority of the new toys coming out. Apathy is setting in.
TLDR; Feh is shit now and it's not going to get better. I have no idea what the plan is from IS. Do they want to torpedo the game into the dirt? This is definitely a surefire way to do it. At this point, I only build and play with my favorites, as well as ignore the competitive modes. There is nothing competitive about going against players with deeper pockets than you. And as for the "strategy" in this so called "strategy game", there is one. Don't try with this nonsense, just build your favorites, the rest of the game be dammed. It's the only real way to derive enjoyment from the game anymore, at least it is for me. I doubt this game will make it past 2024 but you never know. There's only so much money that can be made from a disgruntled playerbase. Annoy them enough and they'll probably be gone.
My reaction to all of this text (I did not read): 🥹🤯😵💫🤠😱🫣🫨🙀😨😰😭😳👁👄👁🧎♂️➡️🧎♂️👨🦯➡️👨🦯 😀😃😮😯😲😦😧👨🦽➡️🛀🛌🛐🙏
In all seriousness though you must be great at doing essays + I'd love to read it so I think I'm gonna take screenshots 👍 I think this is the first time I've ever scrolled so far with just one comment 🤣 props to your dedication for FEH 🙏
If the solution about the problem is use X specific units among a roster of 1000+ unit then there the real problem...
Yeah surely people can pull for specific meta counter or specific magical problem solver, but that why the game is now so bad in my opinion. And that also why the competitive environement is so much around copy-pasta, same exacts unit everywhere and where creativity almost don't exist ! :/
I think a lot of player get attached to their invested favs and now more than even, they age and get close to unusable super fast because how the game. And I think it why more and more people just go casual or quit the game. People can't use unit they like and they feel forced to pull on every banner now to stay competitive and avoid struggle too much.
Surely follow the meta is a good way to keep to be able to keep """enjoying""" the game but I find this way extremly boring. :/
As a player who keep try to use older favs, I feel extremly overwhelmed and frustated by how IS keep make this difficult. WinLeth alone just ruined a lot of money and invest I put to sume unit to get the merge and fodder and that feel terribly frustating. 2024 is def the year I gonna stop investing into this game. Since I doupt IS gonna fox their problems...
Exactly
🎯
Very much needed video!
Dang, Sharena taking on Winter Claude!? That's insane! Y'know, he can precharge deadeye with that golden yule bow. XD
it's so funny. i had W!Claude written down as a reminder, and my brain jumped immediately to winter instead of wind. even our naming conventions are experiencing power creep!!!
Duo Sanaki does not have dr in her own original kit I don’t think…. 🤔 she is just bulky in res stat. (Not counting other supporting units that provides dr or close/far save units that hav dr in aether raids context)
my brain took a vacation and i pinned a comment. i had been hitting a lot of fleeting echo/remote mirror variants, but neither mentioned that nor showcased it. apologies.
the fast pace of powercreep has subtly been there all along. it never takes much for a unit to fall from 1st place.
I still remember joining feh right on time to have Halloween Sakura as my first 5*, my favorite FE character, and i felt super happy she was THE best dagger unit in the game... until NY Takumi came out a little while after.
The gap was small, sure, but the idea was still there. This year it was especially evident with the godswords.... we got so many of those...
the godsword fiasco was ridiculous. i wanted to talk about that specifically, but i went for keeping the video short instead.
The thing I hate the most about this new powercreep is that for the first time since Fallen Edelgard I'm looking at my barracks and realising I have nothing that can consistently beat these new threats. Every tank I have gets shredded by Winter Edelgard as I've found out this arena season.
It just feels like we’re circling the drain with power creep right now. The interval between the latest problem, and then the solution to that problem being released, is shrinking more and more, and each ‘solution’ just creates more problems. Shiny new nuke > new unit counters it with lots of DR > new nuke halves or completely disables DR> miracle meta > double lethality and fatal smoke 4 to turn off miracle > super scowls to turn off specials > pre combat damage etc etc. Any unit that can’t keep up with these meta shifts fall off hard and fast. This all happened in under a year, not to mention all the warping shenanigans. You could summon the latest units, try your best to keep up with the meta, spending hours crafting a team (or teams for SDS) and still get blown off the board turn 1 in SD. I’m a day 1 player, and this year has been particularly exhausting. I just want IS to pivot away from PVP and focus more on PVE modes that let me play with my large roster of built units.
The thing that makes me really frustrated/tired with powercreep is how it makes everything you have invested in feel useless, an example i have a +10 legendary Dimitri, he gets his refine this year and becomes useful again, a month passed, and he is already powecreeped by himself and a new lance edelgard that with no merges wins most matchups against him regardless if he is attacking or defending. I understand that the game evolves and in a year and a half he will be forever powercreeped and rest in pieces, but why would I want to invest in a unit I like knowing in 10 months It's going to be heading down to the useless realm and feel miserable even playing arena, not even gonna talk about AR or summoner duels. As it is said in the video, it's probably better not to invest in units but in systems.
I absolutely think the rate of powercreep is incredibly unhealthy for the game. When things like the Xmas banner sell so well, I think it helps to promote this near-sightedness of IS thinking massive powercreep = more $$. In the short term, banners with insane powercreep may sell more, but in terms of longevity, this will kill the game. Whales will spend less money as, like you said, they are less incentivized to +10 units, since they will just be powercrept in a few months. And others will just quit the game because they can't afford to keep up with the powercreep--it's not sustainable. A lot of whales pride themselves on having the latest greatest units & skills, but if it ends up breaking their wallets with this rate of powercreep, they will give up and quit. There's a healthy rate of powercreep that will continue to incentivize whale spending in a relatively affordable way long-term.
Casual spenders may also quit as they will feel frustrated that they cannot keep up with the insane rate of powercreep. And/or because their favorites become so outclassed that they are unusable. Yes, you can max out your favorites with the newest skills, but not only will they still not be even close to on par with a Winter Edelgard, but also in addition, many cannot afford to continue doing this at this rate of powercreep. And also, "Why should I spend all this money to update my kit when it's just gonna get outdated in a couple months?" I also think if orb prices were significantly cheaper, this would lead to far more profit in the long term, as many low spenders or f2ps would feel incentivized to spend. Speaking for myself, I simply cannot justify paying the price of a brand new game for a single hero (or 2 if I'm lucky), especially when again, it will just be powercrept in a few months anyway.
you really hit it on the head there. i think the christmas banner was the highest earner this year. it feels like a massive snowball rolling down the mountain that we've all gotten wrapped up in. right now, i'm huffing copium and thinking that the anniversary FEH channel will save us all.
The units I find most annoying are the ones that make your existing units useless: so at the moment, it is DuoSanaki and DuoByleth. DuoSanaki is basically untankable (unless I can dance them with Peony), so all my old save armors and omnitanks are just taking up space in my barracks now. DuoByleth will also survive basically all of older nukes (and just flat-out deleted wind Claude from my gaming experience).
However, WEdelgard and WDimitri are imo the best units in the game at the moment - but neither made my old units unusable.
the enemy phase arms war is real. it is really tough to keep up. i've started working my teams more towards player phase strats in AR, and it's helped a lot.
@@FEH they both just hit RIDICULOUSLY hard. I've seen my Dimitri hit a red unit for over 200 (with support and a special proc). *Nothing* is surviving that, except hardy fighter save units (and even then, barely). About the only thing that has a chance is the aforementioned WByleth...
Happy New Year Fehology Great video as always, I think the only frustrating unit for me is probably Duo Sanaki and Brave Corrin on defence.
That being said I don’t play in the very high tiers of any mode but when Sanaki turns up in Aether raids I’m usually just like “oh boy here we go again” and I’ve found Brave Corrin can still screw me over sometimes, as for Arena I don’t even bother with trying to score high and Summoner Duels can die in a hole as far as I’m concerned.
I still want Seers Snare to comeback way more often like come on IS…
It might be time for a break especially considering the new years banner wasn’t kind to me at all🎉😂😭
In a normal game if something is too strong the developers will nerf it. If something is too strong in FEH they will sell you the solution.
A game built on that foundation will always be frustrating because the developers want you to suffer in hopes you spend money.
If suffering is an inevitability I'd rather be frustrated playing with units I like than be frustrated using units I don't give a shit about.
Duo!Byleth is the current bane of my existence; the level of bullshit you have to suffer through just to try and kill one of them is absolute hell - even just doing the Chain Challenge for the Christmas Paralogue with them on it took way longer than it should have because of how quickly they cut down anything you use to try and attack them. Gullveig is another one who makes my eyes roll anytime I see her in Arena...especially with dancers. Ugh.
It's just irritating to try and keep up with them, especially as a F2P player.
6:04 I think the way you phrased it was pretty spot on with what I do for my Eleonora. I got other units, either for new teammates or allow Eleonora able to get in easier, to make her even better at taking down monstrous tanks as time has gone on. Her refine she got made the world for me.
she's a pretty amazing unit. i love it when waiting for things like a refine really pay off. let me know if you post a highlight reel. i'd love to see it.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head on investing in systems over units. That's what I've been personally doing with my favorites or units supporting them to consistently reach a higher rank in AR, as well as make my favorites seemingly timeless. In other words, don't fight against the powercreep, ride it.
it's a tough concept to embrace. with the power creep the way it is, my eyes are always drawn to the new shiny toy, instead of the pieces on the team that actually make the toy work. i'm just trying to embrace my inner blutgangher0.
@@FEH "Inner BlutgangHer0" 🤣
Invest in systems.. Don't invest in units..
Back to galeforce W! Altina shenanigans. Yes I know she's an old unit, but I still love the harmonized paring.
i'm trying to get galeforce anna to work as a carry. it's been tough sledding. 😅
I realize the same, focus on suport unit that can battle too are the way to go, just +1 for the f2p players(not necesseraly). Units like LCamila, LHinoka, LElincia, Veyle, ATriandra, MFreyr, NYSeidr are the units im focus off since i realized what u said in this video 🎉
I got a bunch of old units that is basically no used. They should really refine some of the weapons that they gave to old units like verison 1 units especially
0blivion did a series on re-refines that i really loved. spring sharena needs an update!
L!Gulveig is so annoying, My +10D!Askr can only deal with her if I remove Null-C 4 for SS4, but then he can't tank Hinokas
I am not use to Joel’s face being so big on screen… lol but keep it coming 😂
I think something interesting to do is the best unit for each role like best mythic, best save, best ranged and melee nuke, disruptor etc... from Duo Askr banner to Duo Seidr banner just a thought for a video idea maybe
always love video ideas! let me socialize it, and i'll get back to you.
@@FEH Just a random thought but keep up the fehology studies 💪
I really need more red dragon flowers, heck I might even pay for some if that was an option.
flowers and GIVE US A FREE FLORET!!! that's on my wish list for the anniversary.
Ummmm DSanaki doesn't have any DR herself? She doesn't require piercing to defeat. In fact, she's quite frail on the physical side, it's just that it's hard to survive her onslaught.
Did you confuse her with Kvasir there?
brain fart. i pinned a comment. i had been running into some fleeting echo/remote mirror variants, but i neither showcased that nor talked about it. apologies.
I left Feh last week. FEH was tolerable up to Book 5
Book 6+ is just too much. Merges don't really matter as much compared to back then.
Nowadays, it's all about skills. You got the newest skills, you're most likely going to win.
Then IS is just pumping out 100% brand new banners like literally every 1 1/2weeks with brand new skills. There is just no time to adapt to the new skills. If IS just pulled the brakes on pumping out new character banners, it would actually allow people to save orbs, and actually make a strat against the newest skills vs new toy > pull this now or your account is behind.
i'm sorry to see you go, and i certainly hope IS fixes it's issues. ultimately, this is a game, and if you're not having fun, it's time to move on.
Part of the problem is that the power creep has come so hard and fast that there’s no one unit that’s frustrating, it’s more that there are too many different OP units, it’s impossible to plan countermeasures for all of them.
I’d say Christmas Yunaka is currently the MOST frustrating, but honesty there’s a list of combinations as long as my arm that give headaches.
In times like these, I will always be an advocate of learning not how to get around it, but how to get through it.
But one thing I will always vouch for is learning how to create an "anti-meta" team that uses someone like Gatekeeper for example.
What makes things even more satisfying is being able to have an older unit take care of all the current meta units, regardless of the support they're getting. It's satisfying in a way you won't get from pulling the strongest "flavor of the month."
Alright so how are you getting over a +10 WByleth right now?
@@TBL2749 Duo Mark with new Ruse/Ploy skills have been my savior for the past year. For fun builds, stacking statuses with the new Wind Tribe Club on Summer Donnel has been a blast and a pleasant surprise.
I'd go as far as to say that the Wind Tribe Club is up there with Arcane weapons as long as you build a team around that weapon (which is easy to do).
For frustrating unit for me for a while has been duo sanaki but I’m pretty sure that if you have neturalize units penalties off geriks refine it peonys gentle dream+ it stops her weapons penalty check and then she becomes a push over
duo sanaki is tough. i'm about to do a Sharena run this next week, and she's my biggest concern. even with penalty neutralization, you can't be within 2 spaces of another unit. she definitely tops my list of most annoying units.
the units that have been getting me the most is WT! Claude, esp when he's with L! Hinoka and or L! Elincia, and I'm kinda happy that the Xmas banner pushed him down bc I could not deal with him
To me, i didnt like taking out Ninja Camilla, and now Duo Sanaki lol.
And when doing Lunatic mode in the Christmas Banner i had trouble taking out Dimitri and Duo Byleth
Been a day one player. Used to rarely miss a day. I've now missed months.
The game broke me and I finally admitted defeat. The 2023 winter banner only made it more clear I made the right choice in my mind.
Wait, how does Sanaki get dr?
she does not. my brain took a vacation and i pinned a comment. i had been hitting a lot of fleeting echo/remote mirror variants, but neither mentioned that nor showcased it. apologies.
I will say I forgot how annoying Duo Sanaki is, especially when I play Summoner Duels. Powercreep is nothing new in this game, but what worries me is the speed that it's happening in. I'm also not a big fan if they introduce a new inheritable skill, for example Gambit 4 with B!Robin, and we didn't even get Gambit 3 on a demote or any other unit before that. What frustrates me more is if we get some grail unit and they have the most useless skills inheritable wise as a prerequisite. Another issue is some of the refines, for example Ike, are so underwhelming, I just find it ironic that they try to be a balancing/fair with some of these refines, but have no issues releasing units like Duo Sanaki, Winter Byleth, Winter Edelgard and Winter Dimitri. One saving grace for me is that they bring out new arcane weapons, which gives some older units some chance to stand out in a way. Of course they will never be broken like said units, but it's still fun to see them catch up to the meta in a way with the right build and team composition.
For me I play FEH just to use my faves and just see them deal with the meta in a way. I'm proud of my B!Dimitri, even though I know he kinda fell down meta wise, but the moment I gave him Gambit 4 along with Miracle, he has been a super fun unit to use. That with Atk/Spd FInish 4 and Atk Smoke 4, I love catching people off guard with him in Summoner Duels. I just wait for the day that Atk/Def or Spd/Def Bulwark becomes a seal or a inheritable X skill.
In conclusion, the quick changes in the meta along with powercreep are very frustrating, but if you focus on FEH on a more personal level, then I think you can still enjoy this game still.
So much I agree with in this comment! First off, folks sometimes forget about the fun factor. It’s why i started investing in the Askr trio. It’s fun to build them up, and they will always have a use in this game.
SKILL AVAILABILITY!! The inheritance cap plus the mediocre grail skills just kills me. I’m hoping some of this gets fixed in the anniversary FEH Channel. Pass the copium over here, please.
@@FEH Big agree! Honestly your Sharena is very impressive and like you said in the video, with the right support and setup, any unit can become absurdly strong in their own capacity. Again, they will not reach the same level as the unit I mentioned before, but they can still dent so many AR Defense teams!
Exactly! I am not asking for Tier 4 skills on them, but it would be nice to have some budget and good prerequisite options. I will say that seasonal weapons like Halloween Seadall are a nice budget option for some units, since you cannot pull so many Arcane Weapons at once, unless you are very lucky. I was lucky to get 3 Arcane Ophelia back then.
I also hope that the anniversary tackles some of these things. I also want more resources such as Flowers and whatnot, because we get them in so little amounts. I can really invest into one unit at a time and not more due to that.
Winter edelgard
preach.
Most frustrating for me right now is W! Edelgard, and literally just because I love making Aether Raids Defenses and EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON who had attacked me with her just completely deletes my whole team. No matter how many times I've changed it and the units in them she deleted them all in one shot. Like SOMETHING needs to be able to turn off that automatic Armored Blaze at the least
Also what's crazy about new nukes is I feel like Camilla was the powercreep for Sanaki, as Sanaki was the powercreep to Claude. I once had my Camilla do 32 PRE COMBAT DAMAGE like bro that is so obsurd there's no cap on pre combat damage, and she was on my aether raids defense so I didn't have to control her to get that disgusting amount of damage
Investing in systems is very crucial for F2P players who don’t spend a dime on this game and somewhat care about competitive modes. I have gotten so much value in units like B!Catria and L!Eliwood than some of the meta nukes/tanks that got obsolete in less than a year. I can also save a ton of orbs into personal projects or crazy banners like this year’s Winter Banner with no worry.
Sounds like you’re doing an amazing job building your barracks. 👍
Duo Sanaki is incredibly annoying for me. I mean, I just got a cure from Wind Claude but she seem to take out Winter Byleth about 80% of the time. My playstyle is tanking and the only way for me to counter that is player phasing.
tanking is really difficult right now. i'm going to try and make a separate video on that soon.
@@FEH looking forward to it joel, thanks 😀
Not a unit, but definitely the most frustrating thing right now for me is Auto/Insta special charge, Wind!Claude was insufferable and then christmas happened.
I'm only frustrated to Christmas banner units last year! Thos 3H biases..........🤬🤬🤬🤬
the 3H bias and the massive power spike was crazy this christmas! i don't think we've had a meta defining christmas banner like this since Tharja's armored bikini.
the new byleth keeps foiling my plans
I really hate Duo Sanaki in Aether Raids. But I realized that in Chaos season, you can just use Freyr to cleanse her debuffs and I’ve been handling her pretty well lol.
oh....that's a really good idea! when valentines freyr comes out, we'll be able to do that in every season.
@@FEH I’m glad you think so! That means a lot coming from you! But then smoke skills would be the main source of debuffs and catch skills would be harder to activate. Lol I can’t handle this game sometimes
between ninja sanaki and kavsir
Day 67 Campaign: Alfonse for CYL8!
I'm not frustrated with the game, but a unit who infuriates me is L!Hinoka. How many times did I forget about her getting(and giving) the +1 plus movement and boom, I can't retaliate. And of course, SD, I can't stand that mode! I only get the minimal for the rewards and go. 😂
SD is tough for me. the actual mode is pretty fun. it's the events that i don't like. it's a competitive dumpster fire.
Whats frustrating me, is the fact that IS just refuses to give dancers a refine. And demote skills so that f2p players actually have a chance. Like what am i supposed to do against Primes, when they dont even want to give us t3 finishes.
If i see particular units on teams i just surrender, L!hinoka with L!Camilla, i just give up. The maps are so small so high threat range stuff just dominates and makes the game alot more unfun than usual.
skill availability drives me bonkers. their "fix" was to make rearmed/attuned heroes where you can duplicate skills, but that's really only good for spenders. to make it worse, this round of divine codes was so lackluster. i'm on some copium right now, and hoping the anniversary addresses some of these things like the skill inheritance cap.
I just wanna summon for my favs and pretty waifus thats what got me into FEH during Fjorm's debut and still do😂
now its just haha brrrrr damage piercing damage reduction goes bonkers
honestly, don't get sucked into the hype machine. i'm setting up for a aether raids run with Sharena this week. i also have her on my PvE squad for the new maps and chain challenge battles. there is still a lot of content that you can use your favorites on. just not SD 🤪
As someone who is casual and hates PVP, I'm usually not having a good time in certain modes. I absolutely avoid summoner duels, and the new game mode was a letdown. When you chose the preferred hero group and still get crap affinity, what even is the point. Was really hoping more from something that seemingly encouraged co-op, despite it being auto.
Fallen Edelguard is still a staple of most of my teams. That gal can wreck most (but not all) on Abyssal. But the power creep and counter creep is unreal. When new units feel like specific counters to previous new units, you know something ain't right.
That said I'm happy FEH is still going strong despite not having 'animated waifus' and the like. It is fanservicey but definitely not a thirst trap gatcha for what it's worth. Which is why I hope it will stay for a good while to come.
I am frustrated. New Year Rhea failed to exist this year.
Desert Rhea is just around the corner 👙
@@FEH Don't manifest this bro I'm on a budget now
You may get that chance another year.
What bothers me is their pace to release meta units,like its really hard to keep up and we sont have enough orbs to summon them at all
it's hard. it feels like there's no time to settle in with units. one of my favorite things is to slowly build up units and save up enough orbs to get just the right fodder. by the time i do that, right now, my hero has been completely negated.
@@FEH exactly,ive been saving orbs to summon for w!byleth and eddie,and then they released L!Camila alongside L!Elincia(i dont have both of them)and i needed to yse all the orbs from the paralogues to bareky be able to spark at all,i will need to pay some orbs to get Camila,i mean atleast shes a cool fates character but still...And now we have New Year banner with d!seidr
I dunno man, I like to see my Orson be well fed
My bain is Gullveig; i groan when I see her as my next opponent
Ive been playing since day 1 and Ive never gotten bored by FEH before. But the past month or so I have missed a couple logins. Its not powercreep for me, the rewards just arent that great and theres only one decent competitive mode IMO (AR).
It's not so much powercreep that annoys me as much as it is the lack of tools (often for several months) to counter or play around said powercreep.
the whole "create a problem and don't sell the solution for a couple months" deal is pretty infuriating.
Frustrating thing about FEH?
Every time Edelgard gets an alt, she has to be the one with the game breaking nonsense. What is it with the Devs' favouritism for her anyway?
And also skill inheritance, the real companion to the gacha mechanics. All the good shit is locked to the 5* character you have to roll for.
I nearly wanted to quit this game because of the latter but somehow couldn't or wouldn't
Edit: oh yeah, L! Camilla's pre-dmg phase is way too much. What the hell
in years past, i feel like they did a better job with the divine codes and giving us good skills that way. this year, i feel like they focused on merge projects instead. this is good for the small number of people merging those units, but doesn't help as many people. i hope they remedy that with the next round.
FEH powercreep get to crazy. I invested very much into my B! Dimitri and had some succes eveon before the refine. After refine i had finally again a good and easy solution for AR-O...but now he is complete garbage. I love him but he just get complete murderd by all these new Nukes. R.I.P. Speed Dimitri Builds. Maybe i lack the right support don´t know. Tbh this game is very hard for casual players to stay in line. Im playing two other gachas and there i don´t have to think 10 days to make a new strat or something... just to realize it get power creeped in 2-4 Months...
i had to quit my beloved account recently (L!byleth M, B!Marianne, L!Celica, B!Marth and +7 A!Idunn) because the first 3 units are core of my regular strategies but W!Byleth came out making them useless against a +0 W!Byleth (i can take him with other units but we know worse thing will came out sooner or later, and units like mythic Gulveig that shown how bad are my faves compared to the new toys, that's why i did my last attempt as f2p to adapt myself... so, i rerolled for a +10 W!Byleth and +10 NY Seidr wich already cost a ton of orbs but i am saving for a third proyect, it will take many months to gather enough orbs to pull without relying in sparks...
To me it comes down with these things:
- Weapons and skills having a bagillion effects that make the game needlessly complicated yet are still always active because the condtions are incredibly simple
- Extremely limited inherit options for new skills since you very likely need to use one hero for one skill since is unique and seasonal and you can't find the Tier 3 version anywhere else for months.
- Powercreep galore because they keep introducing new stuff most players will never replicate or keep up with even slightly older units
- Damage reduction and penetration galore. Nothing intuitive so you end up just checking of your unit dies or kills. Stats and triangle actually are a joke at this point because we have 40 HP and 10 defense units with 100% damage reduction.
- Unit variety being at an all time low because of how polarized the effect are
- No interesting new competitive modes for years, Summoner Duels and Arena are Garbage and AR was good but the powercreep made it idiotic for years.
I never spent money in this game, yet I always had many fully built +10 5 star units through dedication (Eir, LAlm, LLeif, LHector, Yuri, BEirika, BDimitri, Veronica etc.). When your fresh +10, fully built BDimitri fails to kill most new units in the last 2-3 months, you know is no longer worthy to play this game.
This is coming from someone that actively played it since 2017 until november 2023, anyways.
My perfect powercreep level was reached in year 3, where effects were still powerful but still required a degree of effort to be used. Up until book 5 I was fine but book 6 onward was just too much.
I don't want to read a paragraph any time I want to understand the 35 ways my units make the opponent explode by just tapping it onto them.
The units that are driving me the most insane are LHinoka and LCamilla... not only are they characters I dislike, the units themselves are insufferable, they are both ridiculously strong nukes, but they also have support that is insanely powerful, Charge and Pledge?! Halving DR?! These are things that should not be grantable at start of turn to unit's within 2 spaces!!!
they're pretty ridiculous. the amount of effort it takes to enemy phase teams is insane right now.
nuke: Duo sanaki
Saviour: Duo Byleth
support : F! Maria
Omnitank : L! Alear
Mythic : Freyr
Melee nuke : T! Ayra
Disruptor : Duo Thor(soon to be Duo Seidr)
My least favourite units to fight ngl and I use like half of these lol
duo sanaki is the one that's driving me crazy. i'm trying to set up for a Sharena run in Aether Raids next week, and i'm still figuring out how to deal with her.
F!eddy was never an issue. Plop an armor effective unit in front of her, and she just attacked twice into them deleting herself haha 0 diff
If LRobin doesn’t let me get that follow up attack one more time I’m going to obliterate him with a special spiral 4 + Finish 4 + Ruptured Sky Male Corrin.
The game is just too much of everything for me at this point, and has burned me out. But i still like to follow the game, and the FEH RUclipsrs tho.
I used to really like to follow the skills and weapons at times i did not play, to first see for myself and then see what the FEH people think, but the following myself part is also jut too much at this point
we're at a point where things are moving so fast. i was just talking to a friend, and we were discussing the fact that we just wanted a "boring" banner. IS has no chill.
@@FEH You did talk about it, but the fast powercreep is really not fun for me. Like going fullout on an strong favorite who cannot even keep up with newer units on their PVE maps a few month's later.
You used to be albe to use units for years, and keep using favorites in PVE even without an full or strong support team
@@FEH I think my first PVE issue was with F!Edelgard, where i could barely kill her on hard while i never really had issue with my then outdated team of units i liked. And the F!Edelgard meta did make me burn out for an while.
I did play a lot again when the 3 houses braves did get their refines. After that refreshing heroes, but those units did also keep up very good for an long time
I personally would like a way to get old seasonal units and not have to still summon for them.
No unit frustrates me more than the communities tolerance toward powercreep over the last 2 years and them not calling it out then. But its fine cause its my favorite unit, no its not fine then and its not fine now. We laid our bed, now we have to lie in it.
Oof…. “I want every unit to be bad except for my fav”
I’d be lying I said I wasn’t guilty of this from time to time
Lol anything that isn't broken is outright trash now
the gap between 1st and 2nd place feels larger than it once was, but maybe it's just recency bias. this Christmas banner was a thing.
@@FEH imma be honest with you chief when the next cyl comes out it'll burn down the meta
Bro duo sanaki has no crazy dr what are you talking about 😂
i pinned a comment. i had been going up against some fleeting echo/remote mirrror variants, but didn't show that or talk about it. my brain just skipped a beat, there. 😅
I stopped caring about the meta a very long time ago... especially given that my best units are literally not even that great any more. Also I practically stopped summoning all together because of the power creep because IS really makes it not even worth summoning at all and I'm a casual player.
Gullveig
I think something that a lot of people don't realize is that just because a unit is "powercrept" or no longer the best doesn't mean they are unusable and no longer good. Like the units you have are not obsoleted just because there is a "more powerful" version. Like I still use V!Lucina as a Far Save in SD, who is no where near the best. Folks use W!Fae and L!Fae as a far save and omnitank and still reach rank 1 in SDR. The meta in AR and SD is one where you don't need the most powerful units to succeed, far from it, even at rank 1. I think having a mind set of what do I actually need to be successful rather than what is the most powerful unit to get goes a long way.
that mind set certainly helps, and it's something i tried to capture here. boiling down what the essential supports are is pretty challenging. i think the folks that are suffering the most are enemy phase fans in aether raids. it is increasingly hard to end turn in this game, and they're really pushing you towards player phase strategies. the problem is, not everyone likes to play that way.
None actually, Brave Marth goes hard
he's legitimately a top tier omnitank right now.
I already didn’t like Sanaki as a character. Ninja Sanaki did not help in this regard.
Duo byleth is old fallen edelgard levels of stupid if not worse
Yesss Much worse than f!edelgard
Freyr simp
I’m frustrated with feh outside of the meta because it does an awful job of representing the series it’s based on. 12 months without a Thracia banner just because it’s not profitable is evil
I quit the game because of 2023 Winter Banner.
Winter byleth is the most annoying thing eeeeeeveeeer i hate winter byleth
he's really annoying, and what will annoy me more is the nerf they sell us on the valentines banner (i'm guessing on the timeframe).
Duo sanaki have rule 34 today for hate
No, just don't play SD.
🤣🤣🤣 well said.
