If you don't care about getting a full 100% crit, this is much more fun with Olwen's ring. You get a guaranteed second thunder with a crazy high crit chance on both hits.
Me crying b/c I didn't realize you could recruit him. I Astra Storm sniped him turn one and rushed the east boat with my other units after. Wish the little talk icon was visible with other units but like greyed out so you know it's some other unit that needs to do it. TLDR: Sent geriatric back to his wife☠
What da hel does "lower weapon level than foe's" is it like he would get crit +20 if he has an iron something and he's fighting someone with a steel something lol
You can manage this with engravings too it'll spare you some of the effort of wrath being needed to be built. My lapis has about 75 crit always thanks to a killing edge +5 with Corrin engraving
Once I saw Lindon’s personal I knew exactly what to do with him. Only difference is I went with Olwen’s ring for the double high crit thunders. Him and Panette just demolish everything with their 80+ percent crit chances.
It's not fire emblem if characters can't be busted. Of course Engage is also the newest in the series where the AI will do the same to you in a certain way with warp staff.
I do a similar thing with Rosado with Ike. Wrath+Flyby a tomahawk if not engage, Ragnell if engaged. If you put Leif's +Build on him, he can double a lot of things even with a weapon as super heavy as Ragnell
I thought this guy was just a random soldier didn't know he was recruitable lol. Hope we have ng+ so I can try again to recruit him without having to start the whole game over again.
An easier way Step 1: Veyle Step 2: put Soren on Veyle and raise bond level to max Step 3: engrave Obscurité with Corrin’s mark and upgrade the weapon a bunch Step 4: engage Veyle with Soren with Obscurité equiped 9 times out of 10, Veyle will have guaranteed crits every time
Lindon is truly a chad in virgin's clothing. Made him into a Royal Knight, which has a high skill ceiling + Camilla forged Flame Lance + Wrath + Vantage is absolutely insane. Granted, is this unique. No, but it prevents him from being "lategame prepromote fodder." Gonna be taking Vander and Lindon to the Endgame.
Use a weapon/spell that's weaker (by default) than a stronger weapon/spell an enemy has equipped. Example: Iron gets Weapon Insight against Steel & Silver, while Steel gets the boost against Silver but not Iron.
Tbf on a build like this you don't really need dex+3. Problem is gonna be SP though. You'd probably have to run leif or ike on this man to get either vantage or wrath for free, which means no seliph ring. If I were to use a build like this, I'd probably just go olwen bond ring for dire thunder, thunder+5 corrin engrave, wrath + resonance for more damage and self-damage for wrath (but thats super SP intensive, which is probably why OP put dex+3 on it, didn't have the SP for anything better). Then, assuming same stats as in the vid and max wrath, you'd have two thunder hits a la 94% crit rate instead of one with eventually 100% (assuming no ddg stats on the enemy)
Then you would have a 10% chance to miss both critical hits and also if you face a high res character you would just use a Killer Physical weapon which would probably 1-shot anything not high in resistance. But if i am being honest i would take a 100% critical just to be safe
Are you sure about that? Let's assume you low roll both times and miss the crit, so(going off the damage in the scene shown at 0:49), you do 64 Damage; usually enough to kill, but not always guaranteed. Meanwhile, with a 100% Crit chance, you're doing 96 damage, which, again, if you aren't lucky and low roll on both, would take you 2 combats to dish out, one of which the foe is initiating 64
@@QuickSilverKitsune "lucky" 90%+ crit rate won't miss that often my guy. 1 out of 10 fights you deal 32 dmg less, while in 9 out of 10 you deal 96 more. Some bosses have 40+ res and def on maddening, so there really is no reason not to maximize dmg output potential.
@@darkgrundi9543 because there aren't any ways to do it on a harder difficulty do you realize how blind you sound?

Fuuuuuck, literally came to comment this from so this basically.
Funnily enough, S ranking him makes this strategy much more viable. Which is what I did.
It would be a true fire emblem experience if he still missed after that.
In fire emblem 6 you can actually miss a 100% hit.

@@emils1615 that would be soul crushing to see
@@emils1615 What the hell?
@@emils1615Same for this game. Panette somehow didn't crit with a 100% one time on my playthrough.
Best part is that both Str and Mag have the exact same natural growth for him, so he can either go physical or magical about it.

@@KohdeeCA I switched to Warrior with a Hand Axe and Killer Axe primarily. Divine Pulse may not help crit, but I thought it was funny to forgo Hit.

Bro found lysithea’s grandpa
And since you get him after getting Leif back you can give him vantage right away
what if enemy has vantage
@eric23443219091 it won't activate, because using this strategy you always take them from 100% HP to 0%.
I guess we are finally found the true wifu of Engage…
Feels more like the true sifu.
This is why I "S" ranked with my 11th hour old man character. He is actually busted.

What da hel does "lower weapon level than foe's" is it like he would get crit +20 if he has an iron something and he's fighting someone with a steel something lol
I guess it means the weapon requirement to use it, so yeah, iron is D, steel is C so it activates, the same applies between different types of weapons
@@safegarlic2888 ohhh i forgot about weapon level requirements for some reason

he doesnt have the hair to contend with Athos, but you gotta respect the boom boom saloon
He must have been trained by a older rutger.
for a sec I thought gramps said "parkinsons attack" and I like that better than his actual voiceline
I love when there's a unit with a dedicated niche, it's something 3 houses lacked entirely.
S-rank Olwen (from Leif) makes the basic Thunder Tome brave. It's VERY strong.
i was fully expecting olwen but no need to double with 100% crit
He has to show these kids how it's done.
*Gonna write this down to try later down the road.*
Now that’s just silly
Have you seen Pannette? Wrath Vantage+ Corrin Engraved Killer Axe at less than half hp is 100% crit for less work
Bro literally said,
"I CAST THUNDER SPELL!"
Lindon content YES SIR
Grandad don't mess about
Or you could just have 20 chain attacks on every hit
Lyn family unite!
Old people who are wise are known for being intelligent I would never underestimate that power it’s unstoppable

Of course Engage is also the newest in the series where the AI will do the same to you in a certain way with warp staff.
The Berleezy voice got me XD

I did something similar with panette, her skill with Ike for wrath and killer axe/bow, she one rounds most things on maddening. But this is more funny

Dire Thunder should be optimal but Battlewise because funny.

After years of playing Fire Emblem I've learned to always check with someone talking is recruitable lol
he literally talks about his doubts about the war when you start the chapter. It can't be more obvious than that.
It was super obvious
Etie with a range of 4 and still 20% crit rate or range of 3 with 75% crit rate is still pretty good.
Wrong title, should be called how I got pope John Paul the 2nd to solo a fire emblem map
Never underestimate the old ones
i managed to get 100% crit and avoid on yunaka using wrath and vantage to always go first.
Panette and Lindon cheese combined though?
the pope has a lot of anger issues..

dont see how that gonna work on a high resistance high dodge enemy and high speed that will 1 shot u first lmfao

Step 4: engage Veyle with Soren with Obscurité equiped
9 times out of 10, Veyle will have guaranteed crits every time
Just got this old man. Considering changing my Sage Pandreo or my Celine but his stat is waaaay below them.
I looked at his growths and he is just a slightly worse Pandreo, but mine was RNG screwed and I like his personal, so I’m using him.
I found that panette with a killer axe works just as well, i suppose any can be true with wrath plus a killer weapon +5
Lindon is truly a chad in virgin's clothing.

How does weapon insight work? You have to have a weapon that is "lower level" than the opponent's? What does that mean?
Use a weapon/spell that's weaker (by default) than a stronger weapon/spell an enemy has equipped.
Example:
Iron gets Weapon Insight against Steel & Silver, while Steel gets the boost against Silver but not Iron.

Does this game have Vantage?
Yes. You can get it from Leif. Activates when hp is below 75% at Vantage++
Yes.
It does, it's a skill from Leif. I think at Bond Level 18 or 20 or so you get Vantage+, which triggers at >75% HP. Kinda busted.

Would this be better with the double lightning ring though?
Then you would have a 10% chance to miss both critical hits and also if you face a high res character you would just use a Killer Physical weapon which would probably 1-shot anything not high in resistance.
