    Compilation playlist: • Compilations
    Summary Playlist: • FE8 1 Durability Summa...
    Livestream Playlist: • FE8 1 Durability Lives...
    Hard difficulty.
    Ruleset:
    All weapons have 1 durability, including that of enemies.
    All infinite use weapons also have 1 durability.
    All staves have 1 durability.
    Consumables like vulneraries have the same durability as in the base game.
    All purchase costs and sell costs are identical to that of the base game
    Saves/reloading/savestates/etc. are all fine.
    Game goes until it's softlocked.

But yeah, they really wanted to make dark magic bad after it being decent in FE6 and broken if you used it right in FE7, while light magic was made better thanks to most enemies being weak against it. In other words, they made light magic much better, but in turn they did dark magic dirty. A shame.

    • @steeltalon937
      @steeltalon937 11 месяцев назад +15

      I mean, the max exp would be rigging dodge exp for tens of thousands of turns to reach level 20 on every unit available as soon as they are recruited. Trying to maximize the amount of possible units to gain exp and promote by recruiting everyone and making sure to grab every promotion item could make for an interesting theoretical play through where you can plan out a potentially max exp route but actually pulling it off would suck.

    And this is why Durability on Weapons should go away in not just Fire Emblem, but in all SRPGs as it only makes for pointless rationing of mostly Iron and Ranged Weapons. Durability on your Units is more important as to how many hits they can take. Durability on your weapons means making horrible strategical choices on using mostly crappy weapons with high durability against enemies than good weapons with low durability.

    This video was not an ironman... It was an Iron Lance. With only one durability.

    Interesting video! I think I understand the challenge at a general level. I don't think you mentioned how many durability the weapons were set to have, though. Do you think you could clarify?

    great video, there’s just one thing i’m still curious about: what was the durability of each weapon in this run?

      You cannot know the durability of the weapons because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
      However, after trying you can break the principle because it only had 1 durability.

    Lyon is pronounced Lee-on, not Lion.

    Challenge run: Take a shot everytime Excelblem says "one durability" with Ironman rules.

    This turned the game into Go, but some of the pieces have a knife. 😂
