    Something that gives the Fire Emblem nerd in me great joy is that Aegeon's artwork was drawn by Yuske Kozaki who did the artwork for Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates, and Aegeon is in the same exact pose as in Chrom's art in Awakening.

    This hurts my soul, Aegaeon is my husband and probably my favorite Blade in the game. It's a double edged sword because I'm sad that you shaded my boy but I'm also extremely happy that you still gave him a spotlight. I am that one person that this video is for.

    I personally liked Aegaeon in the DLC versus XC2. As it felt like he had more of a role in the story as opposed to when Mòrag bonds with him.

    Going from probably my favourite Katana to one of my least favourites. Even then, I still really like Aegaeon. His big flaw is that he should never be in the default slot under any circumstances, bit otherwise he's pretty fun to use with his high evasion and damn fine level 1. I actually genuinely think his design is pretty cool, though I understand why that's the minority opinion.
    I will say, he much benefitted from TTGC's battle system, and works much better as a tank there. Hell, he's probably my most used character in Torna.

  • @tilerh17
    @tilerh17 4 года назад +57

    I'm wondering why Aegaeon didn't get his own weapon. Mythra, Roc, Catalyst, Dromarch (for a rare blade pre-DLC), Bridgid, all 3 Poppi forms and Pandoria all got unique weapon types. Why did Aegaeon get stuck with a common weapon type? Of course, his skills and damage still need to be better to get him to work more effectively, but they could've at least made it so that the Driver Arts would be where he shines, with abilities that would've been exclusive to him. There are so many possibilities, but they just gave him a katana.... Shame.

    • @jmc2830
      @jmc2830 2 года назад +5

      because he's effectively a story blade for morag. like wulfric or herald. he's not one of the main characters "main weapons". which all have a unique weapon.

    • @scrungobeepis5443
      @scrungobeepis5443 Год назад +3

      Exactly, imagine if he had a sword and shield, or perhaps something like a regal claymore (A more realistically proportioned one, so he doesn’t step on the toes of Pandoria’s giant sword/wand thing)
      It also doesn’t help that he also looks just a bit too similar to generic non-rare blades, big A is a bunch of wasted potential - Shame indeed

  • @slurrymoon
    @slurrymoon 4 года назад +7

    It's such a cool thing that you can just keep playing this game with all different Blade/Driver setups. It's such an improvement over the first Xenoblade with only 7 party members; most fights only have just a few ways of playing them. Xenoblade 2 has an impossibly high number of viable combinations.
    Aegaeon may not be the best blade, but if you want to challenge yourself, or just test out an unconventional strategy, he's just as fun and unique to play as any other blade.

    • @conorb.1901
      @conorb.1901 4 года назад

      That's one thing I love about Xenoblade 2. In the first game, you can't really customize your party members all that much. Only 16 arts per (non-Shulk) character and you can bring 8 of them, and the characters were largely locked into what they can do. In XC2, every character has 4 arts per weapon and you can bring 3. Across 8 standard weapons, that's 32 arts per driver. If you factor in the 7 new game plus blades with unique weapons, as well as the four dlc blades with unique weapons, that's 76 arts per driver (except Tora). And that's not even counting unique blades like Brighid or Pandy. Near limitless combinations of drivers, blades, and weapons, and all of them work. Obviously some are better than others, but you can see success with every combination.

    Me personally, I found Aegeon's design pretty cool, especially since I love water-based designs. Nice to know more of a reason why you set him in the tier you did, I mean I think you could probably build a base from Poppi stronger than him. Still, nice to know how to build him whenever I want.
    Also question, do you think puting him on Rex would be a better choice since Rex has a higher strength stat than Morag? I ask this because I wanted to see in that would help Aegeon's damage problem. Not by much but just a little, since he kind of needs all the damage he can get.

    Let's see. That finishes off Morag's story Blades. In addition, both of Rex's, including both forms of the Aegis, as well as Nia's and Zeke's signature Blades have all been covered, along with all 3 forms of Poppi. Despite all that, I get the feeling that there's still another story Blade that hasn't been covered, but which Driver could they be on if we've already covered the signature Blades of all 5 Drivers?

    Thanks for the video Enel! Aegaon is my favourite blade... said no one ever.
    I feel like you could just bunch up all the same weapon classes a make a video for each, but hey, it's up to you. There aren't much playstyle differences between weapon classes except stuff like battle skills, element and aux cores. It could save you the trouble of repeating the same thing over and over again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the videos are bad, the quality is top notch! I'm just concerned thinking about you sitting down and making *individual* videos about blades like finch and electra ugggh.
    Nevertheless, I'll be looking forward to each and everyone of these videos!!

  • @WhimsyHeath
    @WhimsyHeath 4 года назад +1

    I know you mentioned block rate briefly in the video, but this is one of the things I've never been able to find exactly details on is how block rate actually works. I take it that blocking doesn't annul all damage, since that's what ultimate shield gives a chance to do. so block rate reduces damage, but by how much? does it reduce them by the blade's physical and ether defense values? or does it reduce it by a different value and the physical and ether defense apply to all damage regardless? is there anything else that block does besides this, like interrupts enemies? ...yeah, there's a lot I'm not quite understanding there, which I haven't been able to find concrete answers for, at least in the places I've looked at. There probably are answers somewhere, but I haven't found them yet. Would you have any insight on this?
    Maybe you could make a video sometime about how block, or even the weapon and damage stats actually work, and their impact in combat, or something? I'd be interested, since I've tried to find this info a bit, but couldn't find it.
    But anyway, I'm enjoying these videos. it's interesting to see how people optimize things, even if I'm not necessarily that good at actually doing that myself.

    I feel like they sacrificed story-relevant water blades to their classes, and it shows.
    I'd have dropped Enlightenment for a strong damage skill (idk, an unconditional buff to damage?) That would balance Aegeon, but be OP on an actual attack class blade (e.g. just a flat, unconditional 300% damage + 50% crit damage when the skill is maxed, but make the requirements to unlock the skill super niche and super challenging.)
    OR, I would award evasion with damage (like Brigid), but make a smaller percentage increase per evade and a bigger damage total (so something like 12% damage till 300% total when the skill is maxed out)
    Like, there's ways to work damage to a niche, reward blades for doing their job.
    As a comment on the Theory video said, they took a look at the original roster, then made the DLC blades more cohesive versions of that roster.
    Anyway, how do you think Aegeon would be if he had either of this skills?

    I agree that his design and gameplay are boring. I would change Enlightenment to give a 20% boost to evasion. Like Water also give a 35% damage boost for 10 seconds after evading. Serene Heart will also increase aggro gained after evading.

    Corvin isn't really a Katana class blade, he's his own thing and I'm not sure its fair to compare the two since Corvin is a very OP added blade.
    As for damage, well, I don't think stretching out a fight is a big deal in this game, and even if Aegaeon isn't drawing aggro, his survivability would let him stay up for a long time, so even if you're the only driver standing, you can't really get hit

    Aegaeon is that blade that really wishes he has a actual affinity attack boost or just a attack boost cause he’s a lot of fun imo
    Yeah he’s bland but he’s fun as hell for me

    Aggro boost might be pretty good as a core too

    But is Rex or Morag better at using Aegaeon? Because Dromarch, Brighid, and Pandoria are all better off being used by their normal driver than Rex, and I wanted to see if that trend continues with Aegaeon.

    How do you get so many Max Affinity Atk VI cores? I try grinding for them with the Chickenheart Challenge mission but I just get the Outdoor Attack ones.
    As for Aegaeon himself, at least he gets more screentime in Torna. Even if he still doesn’t do much storywise.
