"Ayra is weak to magic" Shows clip of her surviving a round with Olwen, lol. Yeah Olwens attack with Dire Thunder sucks and what he said still stands I just find it amusing
If you're going to do an opposite to this list, I'd like to nominate Seth. That boi has had the WORST nerf in the history of FE. Although Canas is a close 2nd
mooseyluke Canas should have gotten Gespenst as a personal weapon. As for myself, I nominate Finn. Hopefully we get a Finn alt in the future that is not f2p; ideally he should have a master lance.
Personally I stick with my boi Lyon, always loved him as a villain and now I get to keep the illusion he’s trying to reform. Also I’m trying my best to decided on a good free defensive armor unit, either Gwen or the axe armor unit
Cameron Kyhkynen Lyon didn’t do nothing wrong....kinda. But yea he’s a skid if not slow red tome user, speaking of which any tips on armor units. I got a Gwen that’s strong but I’ve been thinking of using the axe armor chick, the one in pink armor
magoichi75 Sheena? I hear she is decent. Also, go Lyon! Since FE 8, he is my fav villain, and boosted Raven Tome is nothing to sniff at. A little slow for my taste, but decent bulk and damage, so not bad. I personally invested more into Arvis, but Lyon is next.
Illialidur He is a mixed bag given that most red tome users that they push out are either mixed or have drastic slow speed. If they just give him the option to weapon enhance his time he’d be at least rank 2
It's wonderful to see someone who loves FEH for almost the same reasons I do, this game really is a melting pot of FE culture and heritage. It's wonderful to see our familiar faces in new situations, seeing new sides of them and it's great seeing glimpses into characters from FE games that I haven't had the chance to play. It was lots of fun watching this video ^_^
Yeah, BK asked me between Nino, Lyn, and Neph who was the best and worst, and I said as a stand alone unit, Nino was the worst since most of her God level performance comes from specific team boosts.
Todd Nelling true, but the list takes no skill inheritance into account, so her speed actually helps, and Nino's blade tome only helps when she is taken into account with a honing team, which was not what this list was about. For this list, blade tomes are less than useless.
I don't think Nino should count. She is pretty strong if you go through the trouble of training her in FE7, it is just that it is way too much trouble to train her for it to be worth it.
And yet Gwendy is there while her default kit is complete garbage. With SI she's one of the best tank but without it she has the worst skills of all armors in the game.
Infantry in horse emblem, bad bulk, unreliable avoid, and can't reliably one round without a brave sword (which Sigurd, Alec, Noish, Erin, and Beo can all use at base on a mount to see more combat to build kill stars faster) or a proc which isn't reliable.
JamesBLonde0059 It's not an absolute death sentence, but it's a big issue. Road bonuses give horses 3 more move than infantry, and gen 1 enemies are terrible. So the mounts will clear them out fairly easily before Ayra can get there, making it difficult for he to see combat. But Ayra also can't one round reliably, she needs procs to do so. Her survivability is bad since her defensive stats are poor and her avoid rates aren't high enough to be reliable in a game with 1RN. There's a reason why Lewyn/Tailtiu is considered the most optimal Lewyn pairing, Arthur gets a horse and can see more combat than Sety can once he promotes. Sety's still good for his staffing capabilities and his reliable one rounding, but Ayra isn't a good comparison to him since she doesn't have the offensive power or utility of Sety.
JamesBLonde0059 Actually it is, but Ced at least has uses other than combat as a foot unit. Ayra has nothing. Combat foot units in genealogy are irrelevant at best, because horses will do just fine in combat, while being far ahead. By the time Ayra reaches the combat, all your horses can have it covered.
13:45 It just occurred to me, couldn't Meg from the Tellius games work in Heroes at least decently well. Like, they could just tweak a thing or two and Boom, prime candidate for Distant Counter.
21:36 I legit squee'd when she was first announced, no joke. I wasn't able to finish the game (my game got jacked/stolen) but made it far enough to get her and I loved her character. I heard that she could be a destructive force if you use her right.
Here are some characters that got butchered in heroes 5.) Palla 4.) Lachesis 3.) Lucius 2.) Seth 1.) Titania Trust me there’s a lot more Edit: it got even worse, haar my beloved
Nephenee (in addition to having a fantastic design) fills a weird niche for me in Path of Radiance. I have never had an average Nephenee. I've had some terrible Nephenees, and I have had some outright AMAZING Nephenees. Never in between. Something about her growths tends to hit an all or nothing for me. And, more often than not, she'll be the second most powerful unit on my team, after Ike. Her magic can even grow enough to use the Flame Lance.
I'll add some of my opinions on stuff like inheritance or just general one liners Lyn is definitely better. She is one of the few swords that can ploy and her weapon synergizes with wrath. Nephneph is now a good anti-meta unit with Dauntless Lance. Probably the best infantry lance unit now. Regarding the low res, she can fix her res with Berkut's lancer or Tannenboom. Nowi. Good enemy phase performance, but like every enemy phase unit, allow them to initiate combat and they're dead Mia. What's up with sword waifus? You'll notice this trend with other sword ladies like Karla and Ayra. Boy were people pissed at those two Sanaki. Explosion. But Lilina is a better one shot nuke Dorcas is a pretty good mixed tank. One of the few units that actually uses a DC weapon well because of his good mixed bulk Gwendy. Aaa. She and Sheena are your AA starter waifus. Arden lit Ignis. Just slap on Ignis and Death Blow. Earth Boost or Fire Boost are also decent options. Magic match ups suck, but you can use deflect magic Amelia. Lolis get boosted BST. Nuff said Ayra. Where Karla at? But both are really good. You were probably making this video for a long time and her inclusion is rather recent so I'll give it a pass
red light honestly Karla should have been #1. She was one of the most outclassed units in her game and now she's a contender for the #1 sword unit in heroes (she falls short of Ayra but dethrones Mia)
red light Sanaki was always a magical nuke, and mages weren't really the best at taking physical attacks anyway. Nephenee was awesome as a sentinel, and Mia was always better than Zihark in my play throughs, never really cared about the guy.
How the heck was Roy not on the list? A foot locked, sword locked unit who doesn't promote until the end of the game and who's only redeeming factor is the most broken end-game weapon of all time! Just saying, he should be on the list.
Because he's actually better than Lyn objectively since being sword lock in BB isn't a problem as the game host many axe users, also he has perfect availability, Lyn doesn't and is sword locked in a lance focused game.
Karla is my pick for the unit that improved the most. She’s probably one of the worst units in Blazing Blade, but is considered one of the three best sword units in Heroes. Her or Amelia, whose usefulness varies in her base game, but can be a GOD in Heroes. Then there’s Grey, who’s surprisingly tanky with good attack to boot, Est can become a powerhouse, and don’t even get me started on Nino. Also *BEAST UNITS WHEN*
This was a really good video! The only problem I had with it is that you only looked at base kits, when skill inheiritence has been in the game for a long time, and there are quite a number of good units with bad base kits. That's only a nitpick though, I still enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to the next video about this topic.
It's funny. Mia always ends up outperforming Zihark for me in both Tellius Games. Or at least: she ends up killing more people. Both are always part of my teams.
Ayra being one of the worst gen 1 units? Really? She has astra and high speed, also brave sword + astra is a thing. Also, How is Lachesis better than her? She is a staff bot with crappy magic growth
El Imperio de Lalo No, but in the context of 4 it kinda does, enemy quality in Genealogy is terrible, especially in gen 1. So it's not hard to do well in combat even with not the best stats, which is why Noish and Alec do well in FE4 tier lists. And when road bonuses give mounted units 4 more move than infantry, being an infantry unit fucking hurts. With enemies being easy to clear out and mounts reaching them so much faster, infantry units struggle to see combat.
of course having a horse does not guarantee being good, but in Genealogy NOT having one guarantees you're "ehh" at best, especially in efficient play. The best proof of this is Shanan. Thanks to Balmung, he can fuck over the final chapter at base... and yet, he's considered a "meh" unit because he lacks a horse. I think that says quite a lot.
If the newest Elibe banner counted, Karla would easily be #1. Also just a little thing about FE4, being swordlocked isn't a bad thing at all since swords are the best weapon type in FE4
I haven't played much, as I'm currently going through the game, but if the rest of the game has as many axe units as the first couple chapters of gen 1 then I can see why.
To be fair you Lyn fans aren't the only ones that suffered since other fans of other most wanted characters like Bomberman Waluigi and Krystal for example feel the same pain as you Lyn fans did.
Payton Butler I don't care for Waluigi that much i'm just saying that they share the same pain as the ones that didn't have their character make it in as playable that's all, even though Waluigi fans kinda took it too far with the death threats and harassment and all which was not right but you know.
Wait...wait...nephenee....really. She got me through Lunatic mode in path of radiance and radiant dawn.. To me she's like the villager unit of path and dawn. Nowi is lolli granny lol. She showed me to one of top two waifu's...ah Hilda, I love Stella Glow. Mia was another unit I used through the end game. For whatever reason she outperformed Zihark. The only encounter I've had with Lyn is warriors and even then I prefer Lucina, my lunatic slaughterer, my main in smash, my main in warriors, and the main waifu standing next to Hilda. Amelia! Ah the memories of you slaughtering everything as a General. Who needs to move when the enemy kills themselves.
Ayra one of the worst FE4 character? What? Did you play the same game? Myrmidons are OP in Jugdral. Other characters can carry the brave sword, but do you remember how garbage the trade system is in FE4? Sword lock? A good thing, sword are the best in FE4. Footlock? She is one of the best candidate for the leg ring. Only legendary weapon holders are better than Ayra (except Bridgid, since she can't retaliate, and Quan because he only have Gae bolg for one chapter... i mean, one third of a chapter.)
Except it's universally agreed upon that mounted/footlocked and Sylvia has priority on the Leg Ring before handing it to Sigurd. Ayra's great but fuck if she's overrated
kamden madan Genealogy have roads and the leg ring, plus the mounted units will have to fight so they won't move during that time.foot units will catch up the others.
TrabantTheDastard why should the leg ring go to ayra and not sigurd or sylvia? Leg ring comes late in chapter 3. There are many things that are easily accessible to a mounted unit there is also canto which is insane in genealogy.
“Line of newcomers” lmao and they’re all newer characters besides Kliff. I’m fine with all the Lyn’s as long as I don’t keep having Awakening and Fates shoved down my throat 24/7
mhm she isn't the best unit in the world like the godlike Seth and marcus or even hector. its just her lack of res def and str however everything else works like skill and speed are great. I feel like I would remember Lyn more than Eliwood in the story. I would always remember hector cause hector and Lyn with the mani katti is a great boost to help her clean sweep enemys in two hits. with the heaven seal in chapter 24 she could pretty much solo with the right supports. she was also my first lord since blazing sword was my first game even thought im not great with fire emblem games. I still play blazing sword to this day and even thought A LOT of peopl.e don't like her its there opinion and I have mine
I specifically said "base set vanilla versions only", this includes no weapon refines, Nowi was the only exception I made because I felt with how hers worked it was a significant point of interest.
This is one of the most unique lists, but this one I would argue is definitely one that is much more factual based than opinion based. 10. Lyn: Still haven't gotten her. 9. Nephenee: Still haven't used her that much, as I am really debating to sacrifice her for that Wrath skill. If anyone with Wrath is going to get the 4* treatment downgrade, I feel Nephenee might just be it. 8. Nowi: Oh man, Nowi is like a monster so many times. She's basically the top tier unit that you will always find in Arena matches. Thanks to refinery and Lightning Breath, she is a monster. One that I fear to ever take on. There are strategies to fight her, but man, even the counters have gotten to the point that she can take them on. Planning on trying to strengthen her more. I have a +DEF/-RES one, but I hear that -SPD or -HP would be better. 7. Mia: Thing about Mia that pissed me off is how she has Flashing Blade, which is actually Dancing Blade, Marth's attack from Super Smash Bros, and is meant to be Heavy Blade's opposite from Fates. Cause Marth's class, the Lodestar has this skill, in contrast to Ike's Vanguard's class. But you know, since Zihark is still not in Heroes, you get the feeling he'll power creeping Mia? 6. Sanaki: Was it too much to give her the role of bridesmaid or flower girl? I mean, come on! 5. Dorcas: I had no idea there was a meme of joke about the poisoned mutton until I saw the Askr Investigations. Was disappointing, to say the least, but anyway. Yeah, Dorcas in Heroes is a powerhouse, having a weapon with Distant Counter, which is already an automatic plus, but also having Quick Riposte and Fierce Stance, he basically nukes anyone that foolishly attacks him. Much better than FE7's counterpart. 4. Gwendolyn: Sorry, I have not used her. She's mainly for fodder for the Hone Armor skill. But I will say that she's been pretty dangerous as an enemy in my Arena playthroughs. 3: Arden: I've been wanting to use Arden, but I haven't had any chance to. Most of the time, his slot is filled with the Black Knight because of the Distant Counter, and DC is super rare thanks to Hector. :/ 2. Amelia: Haven't gotten her yet, but she has been a threat to me from Arena matches since she's tanky and powerful. 1. Ayra: You know my friend and I have a strong dislike for her because she was the first power creep Lucina ever. She completely outclasses Lucina in every way that it is annoying. Especially since I wanted to make Lucina stronger, but now Lucina is the one on the benchwarmer as there are better units than her. (I'm sorry Lucina, I still love you. ;-;)
If you giver her the bond refine, she should be able to fight back Ayras. Mine has Chill Spd, I love seeing Ayras on the defense list and imagine their faces when a Lucina suddenly debbuffs, doubles and kill them.
10 : I have her and I find her still quite weak, not like in the original game however since she can be a good anti-magic warrior 9 : Nephenie is quite powerful thanks to wrath and her unique spear but magic can easily kill her, she also has quite low HP. 8 : Nowi is a monster girl, I have an ATK+/SPD- one and only Julia and Deirdre can OHKO her, even Lucina with Falchion can't counter her. My first 5stars unit and still one of my mains today. 7 : Mia : I don't have her but she can do a lot of damages on unprepared teams ... As for me, she doesn't have any chance against my Nowi :3 6 : I don't use the original Sanaki but the bride version. She is very powerful but it's like Lute ... very weak to physical attacks but can OHKO almost non-magic resistant units. 5 : I don't use him but I don't really like to fight against him since he is quite resistant to magic. Fortunately, he is quite rare to be found. 4 : I don't find her that strong but maybe it's because I can OHKO her with Sanaki. 3 : I don't use him (I just don't like him :p) 2 : Amelia : A monster that can be only killed by non-blue and grey magic. A monstrous speed (maybe the best between all Armored units), a huge amount of HP and DEF and a really decent amount of ATK and a skillset composed of Threaten DEF both in C (-10 def every turn :3) and seal she is a huge wall. Just add Noontime as special and one turn of 2 she can heal by herself :3. And if you are a big sadistic people, just add poison strike as B :3 1 : I don't have her but I want her, even if I can kill easily with Nowi (again her :p) but she can do a lot of damages to my other team members.
I'd say Lyn is one of the best units with her high crits and 1hit crit kills . So tell me do you just hate lyn or you never played fe blazing blade before
No I love Lyn she's my favourite character in FE7 and I've played the game many times, in fact before 3H came out it was my favourite FE game. However as stated in this video she is an objectively bad unit because of the factors I mentioned. If you like using her because of her crit rate and she ended up being on of the best units that's fine and it's not to rare for Lyn to became an powerhouse as I experienced that during my LP of the game, but it doesn't changed the fact that she's a bad unit when you factor in the various elements that go into to determining a units objective performance.
Also, Number 0 goes to Nino... Utter late game trash in her game, she became the F2P queen in heroes... I couldn't imagine getting through early game without using Nino/Eirika/Tiki/Nowi
My Ayra must've just been *really* lucky in my FE4 playthrough because for me she dodged everything like it was her goddamn birthright and spammed Astra like nobody's business (I did give her the Skill Ring tbf). I know objectively being on foot is definitely slower, but in some cases its not absolutely terrible like in Ch 3, where you can send your infantry up north for that castle and the subsequent pirates and then have your cavs run around to get rid of the squad at the east and EIdigan's cross knights to the west and Chagall. I wish more maps were designed that way in Genealogy to have split paths so you could have your infantry still be useable (and more circumstances where you actually NEED to defend the castle to give Arden love. The only time I felt pressured to build a defense was Chapter 9 with Arion's "3 headed dragon strike")
Personally, I always found Lynn to be a bit overpowered. She could critical or dodge most things, and due to having multiple unique swords, she had higher crit than the other sword users. Also, her receiving a bow was quite the perk as sword masters tend to lack versatility, and this bow allowed her to fight at multiple ranges. (And this versatility is why hand axes and javelins remain useful throughout the whole game.)
16:47 Wait what? I've always thought of her as one of the worst units. Is she that bad in her original game that simply existing in heroes makes her better? 23:52 Huh? 23:58 But she is. Her defense is a bit meh but she's a great unit otherwise.
A very fun list Blazing Knight, your analysis of each unit that appeared on the list was unique and the jokes you included gave the video a sort of liveliness to it, well done. I don’t have anything to offer In terms of what unit in FE: Heroes are good or bad compared to their original game appearances but I will say this... addressing the over use of memes and the complaining about “certain” alts (Sanaki) among the fandoms was good move to make (in my eyes anyway). Memes can be fun but over using them drains the joy you got from them and it devalues important discussions. Sorry for ranting, keep up the good work.
Ayra was bad? I strongly disagree. A lot of FE4 characters are weapon locked and swords are probably one of the best weapon classes in that game (second to wind magic) due to the absence of the constitution stat.
So true in fact with Ayra being foot lock means she already a bad unit due to the maps are **** huge! Which makes nearly all foot locked units next to unless.
Was Ayra really that bad in fe4? She dodges most of the enemies in the chapter she joins, astra is absolutely insane and she’ll proc it all the time thanks to her high skill, she gets a free brave sword in chapter three which lets her hit 10 times with astra, her base attack and speed are great, and not having a mount isn’t that bad. She’s a better combat unit than Alec, Noish, Midayle, and Beowolf, and Cuan and Fin leave after chapter three. While she is certainly better in heroes, the difference isn’t as big as it is for Gwendolyn or Nino.
Rockstar Eddie9000 She is not really bad, but people needs to understand that Jugdral femyrms are quite mediocre. She is a sword-locked Infantry unit in the game where maps are ginormous as hell, her durability is on the low side while her avoid is 50/50. One is gonna said: "You could give her the Leg Ring!" but why you would give her that when Sylvia or Sigurd use it much better than she ever will. Like even Lewyn use it well since he has access to 1-2 range and his combat is the best among Gen 1's Infantry units.
According to you: Dorcas had good HP and strength, was bulky with the speed to double. What was wrong with him then? You give him secret books and make him a monster. Also my Nephenee maxed pretty much all stats in Path of Radiance. The nice thing about Fire Emblem is that it is different each time you play it and you make different connections to characters each time as well
Ok for Nephenee it just because her base stats are terrible, same with her Strength growth and to make thing worse she get quickly outclassed by Oscar and Marcia who can do her job better. Also she foot lock and starts as E level lances.
Nephenee has better skill and defense growth rate, Marcia has better luck and res the rest of their growth rates are the same. I just checked and my Nephenee had max strength Skill and Speed at level 16 in my last play through. Nephenee has Wrath and Luna as a occult skill which is far far batter than Stun. Additionally I would argue that Nephenee has better max stats with Marcia's max 25 strength being pretty weak.
Okay, this video is... thought-invoking. Because I'm the guy who's usually go "Fuck turn limits, I finish the game my own way!". So seeing the likes of Nephenee, Mia or Ayra being listed as originally bad was surprising... because I keep using them and does fine. I mean, movement bonus by horse is fine, but I don't consider them super breaking term. Well, guess everyone views Fire Emblem differently, one can see it as "This unit is unique and has good battle performance, I like using them." or "I want to finish the game ASAP for high score." That being said, if Ayra was bad, you might want to take a look at Tailtiu. Basically: Take Ayra's foot locked problem, and give it to a Level 3 Thunder Mage that joins the last in Generation 1 (at Chapter 3!), with a magic weapon triangle that's... not the best (unlike Ayra who at least had Swords) This results an even more painful version, and she DOES NOT GET A HORSE. Unlike Azelle. In Heroes, though... well, she's definitely one of the top mages that totes out a Blade tome like a boss (pity she still gets overshadowed with Nino)
WHOA WHOA WHOA... Wendy isn't just stronger than Zephs and Hector... BUT ALSO AS STRONG AS THE BLACK KNIGHT?! ... Okay, forget Bern! SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, Black Knight is the husbando, and they gave birth to the lineage that brought forth SAMUS ARAN. It's official now.
Two things: One, I have Gwendo in Heroes too. Two... I kinda WISH I CONTINUED PLAYING HEROES, BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE MY PHONE HAS A BAD AMOUNT OF MEMORY, DAMN IT. Seriously, FE Heroes weights a TON.
8:08 I'm very dissapointed. Yes,Nowi Isn't The best Dragon in FE:A,but the fact that She Can destroy half of the game don't mean that she's weak.And Think If We Combine Her Power with Panne.She Will be OP. Even at End game She Can do something,She were My Godlike Unit In Awakening. And If You aren't Happy She joins at Chapter 8,Two Chapters After Panne. (I'm not dissapointed in the fact that she's OP in Heroes)
Funny how Odin is arguably the only hero in Heroes that's somehow WORSE in Heroes than the bottom-of-the-trash-can status he was in Fates. But just you watch: Owain is gunna appear in a banner one of these days and he's either gunna somehow blow Ayra out of the water, or he's gunna literally be more trash than Odin. A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE: Eh. Owain's ok. Kliff is better though.
I agreed with everyone one of these except for Amelia. Amelia is one of the 3 “Super Recruits/Trainees” Amelia, Ewan, and (please god just add my favorite journeyman already) Ross are 3 of the best units in the game when you progress them because of their versatility and 3 tier process. I know you’re saying “training tower and zombie incursions don’t count” but you can’t do that with Sacred Stones, it’s the most versatile of the games in terms of allowing you to train units (hence why it’s considered easy.) Amelia is a power house in both games. Side note, I’m still sad about Lyon. ._.
I know he's a Holiday unit but I think Valentine's Conrad is my favorite Unit in this entire game. Still. He's been the main tank on my team since his first banner, and he has the highest resistance of ANY of my units to this day. He's the only unit I go out of my way to try to get as many merges as I can. It's actually kinda hard for me to utilize tanks to begin with, but set up his skills right and he'll also have a pretty mean attack, too. As far as Echoes Conrad goes, though. . . He mostly falls by the wayside specifically because he's workign for the wrong army lol By the time Celica gets him, there's a huge number of maps that do not coincide peacefully with Paladin units.
I knew Ayra was gonna be no. 1. FE4 is one of my favourite RPGs and my favourite FE game. I really like Ayra but she was ok. But she has Astra (my favourite skill)
I would argue against Lyn. If you had used her Brave Incarnation I would definitely agree to her being on this list but Sword Lyn is just... meh. FEH has so many Infantry Sword Lords that just plain outclass Sword Lyn including two units on this list, Arya and Mia who can both double without the need of a personal weapon, better base stats, and amazing personal weapons and Lyn ofc gets Regnal Astra.
Swords in genealogy aren't that bad, as they're pretty much weightless, unlike lances and axes. Yeah, they can't counterattack at range, but neither can a lot of the cast
I have a +10 Donnel with 36 defense and CD,i once met an Ayra in arena and got double regnal astra’d, i had my animation off and just wonder.... did....did Ayra just deleted my Donnel...?
Yeah, that waiting line joke is kinda badly aged now that three of them are in Heroes now (Maribelle via Ylissian Travelers, Flora via Nohrian Dusk, and Kliff via Brave Redux).
I most said I would have tought Micaiah would have been there... Also Amelia got pretty much the same bad stats low lvl as in her owen game to be fair. only 60 vs Lector 74 BST... And Hell she even lower than Marth whit his 63 She only a bit higher than Cav unite whit no legendary weapon but that not really the best exemple of high BST...
10 Characters that need to get into Heroes 1. Medeus 2. Nyx 3. Regular Noire 4. Anakos 5. Legendary Celica 6. Legendary Roy 7. Legendary Eliwood 8. Legendary Alm 9. Nergal And 10. Sonia from FE7
I could imagine Anankos being in the game. Maybe they would have to make two variations, one representing his true form, and another representing the corrupted form that we see in Revelations (It would likely be a Fallen variation).
Karla would've been number 1 if he did the fe7 banner
matrixground Ike attack and Mia speed (also superboon) is disgusting
matrixground Even when ignoring recruitment cost, the subreddit put her below fucking Nino and Wallace LMAO.
I want money Mia has no Spd superboon
Neph would be higher if he waited for her refine to be released. Which gives her advantage against Armors and has a Spd/Def Stance.
Definitely.
"Ayra is weak to magic"
Shows clip of her surviving a round with Olwen, lol.
Yeah Olwens attack with Dire Thunder sucks and what he said still stands I just find it amusing
The Green Blur 0x4
The Green Blur You really need a +atk Olwen to run dire. Mine has 47 attack with Lnd and An attack seal.
DarkLink1980 give her blade tome and desp watch her kill everything
Soren The Mage I have both equipped, but I prefer having Dire as quads are more fun and I pretty much already kill just as fine without quadding
DarkLink1980 same here
So next video is Top 10 Fire Emblem Units That Are WORSE In Heroes?
Bingo!
Seth. Oh gods poor Seth.
I am so sad because of the treatment of some of the units.
*cries for Seth*
Le Canas T_T
BLAZINGKNIGHT Don't do it to my man Seliph. Please 😭
If you're going to do an opposite to this list, I'd like to nominate Seth. That boi has had the WORST nerf in the history of FE. Although Canas is a close 2nd
mooseyluke Canas should have gotten Gespenst as a personal weapon. As for myself, I nominate Finn. Hopefully we get a Finn alt in the future that is not f2p; ideally he should have a master lance.
mooseyluke What they did to Seth was straight up criminal
I gotta nominate titania as well
Henry says hello
Sarah Anya Okay I change my mind, at least Seth is...decent in Heroes, Henry went from unkillable to straight up terrible
Personally I stick with my boi Lyon, always loved him as a villain and now I get to keep the illusion he’s trying to reform. Also I’m trying my best to decided on a good free defensive armor unit, either Gwen or the axe armor unit
magoichi75 Lyon was actually my go to red tome user since he came out, he did good work
Cameron Kyhkynen Lyon didn’t do nothing wrong....kinda. But yea he’s a skid if not slow red tome user, speaking of which any tips on armor units. I got a Gwen that’s strong but I’ve been thinking of using the axe armor chick, the one in pink armor
magoichi75 Sheena? I hear she is decent. Also, go Lyon! Since FE 8, he is my fav villain, and boosted Raven Tome is nothing to sniff at. A little slow for my taste, but decent bulk and damage, so not bad. I personally invested more into Arvis, but Lyon is next.
Illialidur He is a mixed bag given that most red tome users that they push out are either mixed or have drastic slow speed. If they just give him the option to weapon enhance his time he’d be at least rank 2
4 years later, Demon King Formortis says Hi, who needs reform?
It's wonderful to see someone who loves FEH for almost the same reasons I do, this game really is a melting pot of FE culture and heritage. It's wonderful to see our familiar faces in new situations, seeing new sides of them and it's great seeing glimpses into characters from FE games that I haven't had the chance to play. It was lots of fun watching this video ^_^
10:00
Though Nyx is really in adult, Nowi isn't, being 2000 in Manakete's age in basically a child
BlazingKnight: 'Arden is the best physical tank in the game'
L! Hector: *'YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?'*
*looks at my Tobin* ... whats a Hector an Arden
Tobin Hector has merges, IVs, access to armour skills and Aether. Get yo +1 Tobin out of here.
Mr. Sizzle and your point? Tobins still a great hector counter.
Lucariokid 912 Just because Tobin beats Hector 1 on 1 doesn't mean Hector is worse than Tobin. That's just dumb logic.
“Hah! My obvious red unit with effective weapon can defeat your green unit easily...duh”
Get that argument out of here
No Nino? What the hell
She came very close, pretty much the number 11 spot.
Yeah, BK asked me between Nino, Lyn, and Neph who was the best and worst, and I said as a stand alone unit, Nino was the worst since most of her God level performance comes from specific team boosts.
Todd Nelling true, but the list takes no skill inheritance into account, so her speed actually helps, and Nino's blade tome only helps when she is taken into account with a honing team, which was not what this list was about. For this list, blade tomes are less than useless.
I don't think Nino should count. She is pretty strong if you go through the trouble of training her in FE7, it is just that it is way too much trouble to train her for it to be worth it.
I only disagre in one thing, Arden is easy to build uwu
If skill inheritance was counted in this list, Sophia would’ve definitely been here :/
Malintent Covet agreed
Malintent Covet with SI everyone would be here
Marío de los Muñoz Yeah sure. People like Raigh and Canas would be there. Definitely. Oh, and especially Odin! Can’t forget him!
And yet Gwendy is there while her default kit is complete garbage. With SI she's one of the best tank but without it she has the worst skills of all armors in the game.
I'm surprised Roy isn't on here considering his weapon refine tbh.
How the hell is Ayra one of the worst gen one units in FE4?
Tuvy Agreed. Being infantry is not exactly a deal-breaker in FE4, especially when my boy Ced exists.
Infantry in horse emblem, bad bulk, unreliable avoid, and can't reliably one round without a brave sword (which Sigurd, Alec, Noish, Erin, and Beo can all use at base on a mount to see more combat to build kill stars faster) or a proc which isn't reliable.
JamesBLonde0059 It's not an absolute death sentence, but it's a big issue.
Road bonuses give horses 3 more move than infantry, and gen 1 enemies are terrible. So the mounts will clear them out fairly easily before Ayra can get there, making it difficult for he to see combat. But Ayra also can't one round reliably, she needs procs to do so. Her survivability is bad since her defensive stats are poor and her avoid rates aren't high enough to be reliable in a game with 1RN.
There's a reason why Lewyn/Tailtiu is considered the most optimal Lewyn pairing, Arthur gets a horse and can see more combat than Sety can once he promotes. Sety's still good for his staffing capabilities and his reliable one rounding, but Ayra isn't a good comparison to him since she doesn't have the offensive power or utility of Sety.
There is a reason why FE4/5 are called Horse Emblem for a very good reason.
JamesBLonde0059 Actually it is, but Ced at least has uses other than combat as a foot unit. Ayra has nothing. Combat foot units in genealogy are irrelevant at best, because horses will do just fine in combat, while being far ahead. By the time Ayra reaches the combat, all your horses can have it covered.
To honor the character Dorcas I used his name as one of my characters in dnd
How did he die?
Reinhardt, simply, Reinhardt.
Actually he got softer in heroes lol. Thracia Reinhardt is so much more annoying if you dont warp skip the map hahahahahahah
Thor Hammer!!! I guess even that isn’t a terribly reliable strategy, frickin’ staff accuracy.
But he isnt a playable unit
Didn't Thracia Reinhardt double attack even in the enemy phase? That alongside Vantage made him a monster.
Marod not if you kill him before he has the chance.
0:35 Yeah, she deserves to be in the game too (personally, I'd love to see Cynthia now that they allow child units).
1:58 If you did count them, I feel like Karla would totally make it onto the list.
13:45 It just occurred to me, couldn't Meg from the Tellius games work in Heroes at least decently well. Like, they could just tweak a thing or two and Boom, prime candidate for Distant Counter.
21:36 I legit squee'd when she was first announced, no joke. I wasn't able to finish the game (my game got jacked/stolen) but made it far enough to get her and I loved her character. I heard that she could be a destructive force if you use her right.
Post-Video: Will you make a list of "Top Ten Units [you] Want in Fire Emblem Heroes" or is the topic too vague and biased to make a full list about?
I'm surprised lmao
God, my audio sounds so bad. I need to figure out what's going wrong with my mic, it's been really weird lately.
King Bahamut maybe you should buy a better mic, if your mic continues to have these problems
A man a culture.
Gwendolyn is best girl!
Here are some characters that got butchered in heroes
5.) Palla
4.) Lachesis
3.) Lucius
2.) Seth
1.) Titania
Trust me there’s a lot more
Edit: it got even worse, haar my beloved
Big F for seth
Yeah Its sad that characters were treated this way its like hey if there good in the original games they will be good in heroes
Nephenee (in addition to having a fantastic design) fills a weird niche for me in Path of Radiance. I have never had an average Nephenee. I've had some terrible Nephenees, and I have had some outright AMAZING Nephenees. Never in between. Something about her growths tends to hit an all or nothing for me. And, more often than not, she'll be the second most powerful unit on my team, after Ike. Her magic can even grow enough to use the Flame Lance.
She's only been a goddess to me.
Same. Even between map reloads, her stat growths vary exponentially.
Im surprised Elincia isnt here. Anyhow great list BK
Thenia Dokou she was good in RD, I believe
Thenia Dokou in RD she murders everything. Coming off of RD heroes elincia makes sense
i meant PoD Elincia, sorry if that wasnt clear ^-^
Thenia Dokou all good my friend. If PoR is the game in question then Yeah, elincia got a big upgrade in heroes in comparison
Thenia Dokou // PoD? Path of Dawn?
I'll add some of my opinions on stuff like inheritance or just general one liners
Lyn is definitely better. She is one of the few swords that can ploy and her weapon synergizes with wrath.
Nephneph is now a good anti-meta unit with Dauntless Lance. Probably the best infantry lance unit now. Regarding the low res, she can fix her res with Berkut's lancer or Tannenboom.
Nowi. Good enemy phase performance, but like every enemy phase unit, allow them to initiate combat and they're dead
Mia. What's up with sword waifus? You'll notice this trend with other sword ladies like Karla and Ayra. Boy were people pissed at those two
Sanaki. Explosion. But Lilina is a better one shot nuke
Dorcas is a pretty good mixed tank. One of the few units that actually uses a DC weapon well because of his good mixed bulk
Gwendy. Aaa. She and Sheena are your AA starter waifus.
Arden lit Ignis. Just slap on Ignis and Death Blow. Earth Boost or Fire Boost are also decent options. Magic match ups suck, but you can use deflect magic
Amelia. Lolis get boosted BST. Nuff said
Ayra. Where Karla at? But both are really good. You were probably making this video for a long time and her inclusion is rather recent so I'll give it a pass
red light honestly Karla should have been #1. She was one of the most outclassed units in her game and now she's a contender for the #1 sword unit in heroes (she falls short of Ayra but dethrones Mia)
red light Sanaki was always a magical nuke, and mages weren't really the best at taking physical attacks anyway. Nephenee was awesome as a sentinel, and Mia was always better than Zihark in my play throughs, never really cared about the guy.
Nino.....just nino
Mr.Random7 only good with inheritance
Delta kai09 I beg to differ. She has been popular in arena even before S.I.
And now I'm downloading Heroes again. Well, thank you Blazing Knight for reminding me that I can get an easy FE fix on me phone!
What can I say expect your welcome!
How the heck was Roy not on the list? A foot locked, sword locked unit who doesn't promote until the end of the game and who's only redeeming factor is the most broken end-game weapon of all time! Just saying, he should be on the list.
Because he's actually better than Lyn objectively since being sword lock in BB isn't a problem as the game host many axe users, also he has perfect availability, Lyn doesn't and is sword locked in a lance focused game.
I thought Ayra was amazing, but I guess I just got lucky. She did cap skill and speed.
She’s generally amazing for most people, with low mov being her only weakness
Amelia and Nino better at least be in the top 5
Edit:welp I guess Nino didn’t do her best enough which is kinda bull plop imo
Nino is really good and she levels fast as fuck. But has the problem of being a late game character.
Guys it's totally the best blue tome unit
OLIVER
The Commentor *F L A W L E S S*
The Kapkan Communist
*Absolutely Flawless*
Karla is my pick for the unit that improved the most. She’s probably one of the worst units in Blazing Blade, but is considered one of the three best sword units in Heroes. Her or Amelia, whose usefulness varies in her base game, but can be a GOD in Heroes. Then there’s Grey, who’s surprisingly tanky with good attack to boot, Est can become a powerhouse, and don’t even get me started on Nino.
Also *BEAST UNITS WHEN*
This was a really good video! The only problem I had with it is that you only looked at base kits, when skill inheiritence has been in the game for a long time, and there are quite a number of good units with bad base kits. That's only a nitpick though, I still enjoyed it a lot and am looking forward to the next video about this topic.
It's funny. Mia always ends up outperforming Zihark for me in both Tellius Games. Or at least: she ends up killing more people. Both are always part of my teams.
Top 10 ECH units
10 - 1: Jontron
Good vid!
*Subscribed*
OMG YES!!! I 100% AGREE!!! These guys got the credit they deserve!!!
And don't hear Lex hear you say that Blaze. Guys protective of his Lady Ayra.
Tfw I used Nowi in awakening so much she can solo MANY chapters
And I married her
#ManaketeFam
Ayra being one of the worst gen 1 units? Really? She has astra and high speed, also brave sword + astra is a thing. Also, How is Lachesis better than her? She is a staff bot with crappy magic growth
Lachesis promotion fixes everything
She doesn't have a horse. That's basically it. She's not TOO bad for a Genealogy footsie, but Genealogy is still Horse Emblem, so she's bad.
Federico Porcel Horses don't guarantee good units. Ask Matthis, Roshea, Vyland & Treck if you don't believe me.
El Imperio de Lalo No, but in the context of 4 it kinda does, enemy quality in Genealogy is terrible, especially in gen 1. So it's not hard to do well in combat even with not the best stats, which is why Noish and Alec do well in FE4 tier lists. And when road bonuses give mounted units 4 more move than infantry, being an infantry unit fucking hurts. With enemies being easy to clear out and mounts reaching them so much faster, infantry units struggle to see combat.
of course having a horse does not guarantee being good, but in Genealogy NOT having one guarantees you're "ehh" at best, especially in efficient play.
The best proof of this is Shanan. Thanks to Balmung, he can fuck over the final chapter at base... and yet, he's considered a "meh" unit because he lacks a horse. I think that says quite a lot.
I've seen a video once where nowi basically solo'd priam's chapter. *Priam's chapter* . He only paired her up with chrom for access to the convoy.
Last time I was this early Jakob could still be pulled at 5 stars.
Superluigi881, last haloween?
Lyns legendary banner?
Pikapower Not that Jakob. He’s actually good.
Heroes Newcomer Waiting Room @ 4:57
Calling for Ms. Maribelle pls.
I appreciate the Smash 64 hitsounds for Arden way too much
If the newest Elibe banner counted, Karla would easily be #1.
Also just a little thing about FE4, being swordlocked isn't a bad thing at all since swords are the best weapon type in FE4
I haven't played much, as I'm currently going through the game, but if the rest of the game has as many axe units as the first couple chapters of gen 1 then I can see why.
I don't know how Ayra was a worst gen1 unit in FE4 lol. I gave her the skill ring and watched her massacre waves of enemies haha.
She's far from bad, she just lacks Mov which is crucial in a lot of Genealogy.
TheShanicpower true
Neph ended up getting the Dauntless lance so she's even better now!
2:40 why must you remind that she's not a fighter in smash bros I'm still upset about that.
Greenherring 10 I suppose she'll get her chance another day
....I'm surprised your surprised she didn't make it
To be fair you Lyn fans aren't the only ones that suffered since other fans of other most wanted characters like Bomberman Waluigi and Krystal for example feel the same pain as you Lyn fans did.
Isaiah Rivers Waluigi was a meme and you know it
Payton Butler I don't care for Waluigi that much i'm just saying that they share the same pain as the ones that didn't have their character make it in as playable that's all, even though Waluigi fans kinda took it too far with the death threats and harassment and all which was not right but you know.
Wait...wait...nephenee....really. She got me through Lunatic mode in path of radiance and radiant dawn.. To me she's like the villager unit of path and dawn. Nowi is lolli granny lol. She showed me to one of top two waifu's...ah Hilda, I love Stella Glow. Mia was another unit I used through the end game. For whatever reason she outperformed Zihark. The only encounter I've had with Lyn is warriors and even then I prefer Lucina, my lunatic slaughterer, my main in smash, my main in warriors, and the main waifu standing next to Hilda. Amelia! Ah the memories of you slaughtering everything as a General. Who needs to move when the enemy kills themselves.
Neph is a goddess, do not be swayed
Ayra one of the worst FE4 character? What? Did you play the same game? Myrmidons are OP in Jugdral.
Other characters can carry the brave sword, but do you remember how garbage the trade system is in FE4?
Sword lock? A good thing, sword are the best in FE4.
Footlock? She is one of the best candidate for the leg ring.
Only legendary weapon holders are better than Ayra (except Bridgid, since she can't retaliate, and Quan because he only have Gae bolg for one chapter... i mean, one third of a chapter.)
Except it's universally agreed upon that mounted/footlocked and Sylvia has priority on the Leg Ring before handing it to Sigurd. Ayra's great but fuck if she's overrated
Not having a mount makes her barely able to partake in any battles.
Genealogy has bigger maps than the rest of Fire Emblem, so eventually your mounted units will be far ahead of your non-mounted units.
kamden madan Genealogy have roads and the leg ring, plus the mounted units will have to fight so they won't move during that time.foot units will catch up the others.
TrabantTheDastard why should the leg ring go to ayra and not sigurd or sylvia? Leg ring comes late in chapter 3. There are many things that are easily accessible to a mounted unit there is also canto which is insane in genealogy.
Nephenee is a life-saver in maniac mode if you ever feel like playing the Japanese version of PoR. Though I can see the unappeal in casual runs.
Is there a reverse verion where heroes were better in their original game
toshironikko Seth got nerfed into the shadow realm
Moral of the story
IS lkes taking shitty units and making them godlike and godlike units shit
Now that Nephenee has a new lance, she easily jumps a few spots ahead.
Definitely agree on Nowi. Like you said, she wasnt bad in Awakening but I do feel she got outshined by Tiki or even Nah depending on who her father is
no karla?
Explutor He mentioned he wasn't covering the new fe7 units since they just came out when he was recording
“Line of newcomers” lmao and they’re all newer characters besides Kliff. I’m fine with all the Lyn’s as long as I don’t keep having Awakening and Fates shoved down my throat 24/7
im sorry if I say this
lyn is my fav character of the whole fire emblem
gets ready for sea of hate
There absolutely nothing wrong with that, I love Lyn as well even though she isn't my fav.
mhm she isn't the best unit in the world like the godlike Seth and marcus or even hector. its just her lack of res def and str however everything else works like skill and speed are great. I feel like I would remember Lyn more than Eliwood in the story. I would always remember hector cause hector and Lyn with the mani katti is a great boost to help her clean sweep enemys in two hits. with the heaven seal in chapter 24 she could pretty much solo with the right supports. she was also my first lord since blazing sword was my first game even thought im not great with fire emblem games. I still play blazing sword to this day and even thought A LOT of peopl.e don't like her its there opinion and I have mine
Ayra is good in fe4 but karla is pretty shit in fe7
Also you forgot Sanaki’s Weapon upgrade where she gives 3 Atk within 2 spaces and she gets +5 Atk/Res when she within 2 spaces of flying units.
I specifically said "base set vanilla versions only", this includes no weapon refines, Nowi was the only exception I made because I felt with how hers worked it was a significant point of interest.
BLAZINGKNIGHT but you mentioned lyn’s refinement.
You said Desperation and BRASH ASSAULT.
That's what her weapon grants her.
BLAZINGKNIGHT no, I’ve checked on gamepress and you get the brass assault effect when you refine Sol Katti.
wait wut? mia was a monster in radiant dawn! wut?
This is one of the most unique lists, but this one I would argue is definitely one that is much more factual based than opinion based.
10. Lyn: Still haven't gotten her.
9. Nephenee: Still haven't used her that much, as I am really debating to sacrifice her for that Wrath skill. If anyone with Wrath is going to get the 4* treatment downgrade, I feel Nephenee might just be it.
8. Nowi: Oh man, Nowi is like a monster so many times. She's basically the top tier unit that you will always find in Arena matches. Thanks to refinery and Lightning Breath, she is a monster. One that I fear to ever take on. There are strategies to fight her, but man, even the counters have gotten to the point that she can take them on. Planning on trying to strengthen her more. I have a +DEF/-RES one, but I hear that -SPD or -HP would be better.
7. Mia: Thing about Mia that pissed me off is how she has Flashing Blade, which is actually Dancing Blade, Marth's attack from Super Smash Bros, and is meant to be Heavy Blade's opposite from Fates. Cause Marth's class, the Lodestar has this skill, in contrast to Ike's Vanguard's class. But you know, since Zihark is still not in Heroes, you get the feeling he'll power creeping Mia?
6. Sanaki: Was it too much to give her the role of bridesmaid or flower girl? I mean, come on!
5. Dorcas: I had no idea there was a meme of joke about the poisoned mutton until I saw the Askr Investigations. Was disappointing, to say the least, but anyway. Yeah, Dorcas in Heroes is a powerhouse, having a weapon with Distant Counter, which is already an automatic plus, but also having Quick Riposte and Fierce Stance, he basically nukes anyone that foolishly attacks him. Much better than FE7's counterpart.
4. Gwendolyn: Sorry, I have not used her. She's mainly for fodder for the Hone Armor skill. But I will say that she's been pretty dangerous as an enemy in my Arena playthroughs.
3: Arden: I've been wanting to use Arden, but I haven't had any chance to. Most of the time, his slot is filled with the Black Knight because of the Distant Counter, and DC is super rare thanks to Hector. :/
2. Amelia: Haven't gotten her yet, but she has been a threat to me from Arena matches since she's tanky and powerful.
1. Ayra: You know my friend and I have a strong dislike for her because she was the first power creep Lucina ever. She completely outclasses Lucina in every way that it is annoying. Especially since I wanted to make Lucina stronger, but now Lucina is the one on the benchwarmer as there are better units than her. (I'm sorry Lucina, I still love you. ;-;)
If you giver her the bond refine, she should be able to fight back Ayras. Mine has Chill Spd, I love seeing Ayras on the defense list and imagine their faces when a Lucina suddenly debbuffs, doubles and kill them.
Can't wait to +7 my Mask marth.
Meanwhile OG Lucina still never came to me....
10 : I have her and I find her still quite weak, not like in the original game however since she can be a good anti-magic warrior
9 : Nephenie is quite powerful thanks to wrath and her unique spear but magic can easily kill her, she also has quite low HP.
8 : Nowi is a monster girl, I have an ATK+/SPD- one and only Julia and Deirdre can OHKO her, even Lucina with Falchion can't counter her. My first 5stars unit and still one of my mains today.
7 : Mia : I don't have her but she can do a lot of damages on unprepared teams ... As for me, she doesn't have any chance against my Nowi :3
6 : I don't use the original Sanaki but the bride version. She is very powerful but it's like Lute ... very weak to physical attacks but can OHKO almost non-magic resistant units.
5 : I don't use him but I don't really like to fight against him since he is quite resistant to magic. Fortunately, he is quite rare to be found.
4 : I don't find her that strong but maybe it's because I can OHKO her with Sanaki.
3 : I don't use him (I just don't like him :p)
2 : Amelia : A monster that can be only killed by non-blue and grey magic. A monstrous speed (maybe the best between all Armored units), a huge amount of HP and DEF and a really decent amount of ATK and a skillset composed of Threaten DEF both in C (-10 def every turn :3) and seal she is a huge wall. Just add Noontime as special and one turn of 2 she can heal by herself :3. And if you are a big sadistic people, just add poison strike as B :3
1 : I don't have her but I want her, even if I can kill easily with Nowi (again her :p) but she can do a lot of damages to my other team members.
Oh my god you threw up when you saw Odin!
#BLAZINGKNIGHT you are the reason why I know most of these wounderfull chacaters and game.... That's why I love hear you talk about these deals
I'd say Lyn is one of the best units with her high crits and 1hit crit kills . So tell me do you just hate lyn or you never played fe blazing blade before
No I love Lyn she's my favourite character in FE7 and I've played the game many times, in fact before 3H came out it was my favourite FE game. However as stated in this video she is an objectively bad unit because of the factors I mentioned.
If you like using her because of her crit rate and she ended up being on of the best units that's fine and it's not to rare for Lyn to became an powerhouse as I experienced that during my LP of the game, but it doesn't changed the fact that she's a bad unit when you factor in the various elements that go into to determining a units objective performance.
You didn’t say about Nephenee’s Dauntless Lance which is a slaying lance mixed with slaying spear and gives her +4 Spd/Def when she is attacked.
That weapon was added after I had already recorded everything and put a good chunk of the video together.
BLAZINGKNIGHT oops sorry.
Lon'qu is favorite FE character and he's pretty much the same as in Awakening. Except his HP is higher than it deserves to be.
Also, Number 0 goes to Nino...
Utter late game trash in her game, she became the F2P queen in heroes...
I couldn't imagine getting through early game without using Nino/Eirika/Tiki/Nowi
Nino helps with the experience rank so she is at least better than Wallace.
My Ayra must've just been *really* lucky in my FE4 playthrough because for me she dodged everything like it was her goddamn birthright and spammed Astra like nobody's business (I did give her the Skill Ring tbf). I know objectively being on foot is definitely slower, but in some cases its not absolutely terrible like in Ch 3, where you can send your infantry up north for that castle and the subsequent pirates and then have your cavs run around to get rid of the squad at the east and EIdigan's cross knights to the west and Chagall. I wish more maps were designed that way in Genealogy to have split paths so you could have your infantry still be useable (and more circumstances where you actually NEED to defend the castle to give Arden love. The only time I felt pressured to build a defense was Chapter 9 with Arion's "3 headed dragon strike")
Personally, I always found Lynn to be a bit overpowered. She could critical or dodge most things, and due to having multiple unique swords, she had higher crit than the other sword users. Also, her receiving a bow was quite the perk as sword masters tend to lack versatility, and this bow allowed her to fight at multiple ranges. (And this versatility is why hand axes and javelins remain useful throughout the whole game.)
>Inb4 Tibarn, Linus and Maribelle all get in.
ok with this
FIRST
*what do I do with my life just trying to get first*
Salivadora taco, emulating Takumi?
Connor W. Nah I just really like Takumi
16:47 Wait what? I've always thought of her as one of the worst units. Is she that bad in her original game that simply existing in heroes makes her better?
23:52 Huh?
23:58 But she is. Her defense is a bit meh but she's a great unit otherwise.
A very fun list Blazing Knight, your analysis of each unit that appeared on the list was unique and the jokes you included gave the video a sort of liveliness to it, well done. I don’t have anything to offer In terms of what unit in FE: Heroes are good or bad compared to their original game appearances but I will say this... addressing the over use of memes and the complaining about “certain” alts (Sanaki) among the fandoms was good move to make (in my eyes anyway). Memes can be fun but over using them drains the joy you got from them and it devalues important discussions. Sorry for ranting, keep up the good work.
Ayra was bad? I strongly disagree. A lot of FE4 characters are weapon locked and swords are probably one of the best weapon classes in that game (second to wind magic) due to the absence of the constitution stat.
JamesBLonde0059 yes but she doesn't have a horse so she is left behind.
So true in fact with Ayra being foot lock means she already a bad unit due to the maps are **** huge! Which makes nearly all foot locked units next to unless.
Was Ayra really that bad in fe4? She dodges most of the enemies in the chapter she joins, astra is absolutely insane and she’ll proc it all the time thanks to her high skill, she gets a free brave sword in chapter three which lets her hit 10 times with astra, her base attack and speed are great, and not having a mount isn’t that bad. She’s a better combat unit than Alec, Noish, Midayle, and Beowolf, and Cuan and Fin leave after chapter three. While she is certainly better in heroes, the difference isn’t as big as it is for Gwendolyn or Nino.
Rockstar Eddie9000 She can't reach the battlefield before it's too late.
every other sword unit has just as good combat with the brave sword and the majority of them have horses. Horses > in fe4
Yes, and by every other sword unit you mean Beowulf and Sigurd
Yea Fe4 maps are just crazy huge as those who are foot locked are just nearly useless.
Rockstar Eddie9000 She is not really bad, but people needs to understand that Jugdral femyrms are quite mediocre.
She is a sword-locked Infantry unit in the game where maps are ginormous as hell, her durability is on the low side while her avoid is 50/50.
One is gonna said: "You could give her the Leg Ring!" but why you would give her that when Sylvia or Sigurd use it much better than she ever will. Like even Lewyn use it well since he has access to 1-2 range and his combat is the best among Gen 1's Infantry units.
According to you: Dorcas had good HP and strength, was bulky with the speed to double. What was wrong with him then? You give him secret books and make him a monster. Also my Nephenee maxed pretty much all stats in Path of Radiance. The nice thing about Fire Emblem is that it is different each time you play it and you make different connections to characters each time as well
Ok for Nephenee it just because her base stats are terrible, same with her Strength growth and to make thing worse she get quickly outclassed by Oscar and Marcia who can do her job better. Also she foot lock and starts as E level lances.
Nephenee has better skill and defense growth rate, Marcia has better luck and res the rest of their growth rates are the same. I just checked and my Nephenee had max strength Skill and Speed at level 16 in my last play through. Nephenee has Wrath and Luna as a occult skill which is far far batter than Stun. Additionally I would argue that Nephenee has better max stats with Marcia's max 25 strength being pretty weak.
Here's a list of the top 3 best units:
3:Hector
2:Hector
1:Hector
don't try to argue
Roiiial it think thats a really bold state.........nvm i cant
I believe Hector should be higher than hector tho. Im okay with everything else tho.
Yea I would agree if Mages didn't exist as Hector get rekted by Magic attackers.
Legendary Hector has decent Resistance tho.
Yea but how much can he take before he goes down.
I think skill inheritance should have been considered. No one uses base builds
“It’s a shame that not everyone was able to bring their A-game” he says as Leo gets murdered in the background... I see how it is
nino. just nino. where is nino?
"Ayra got the best upgrade in heroes"
Karla: hold my beer...
Okay, this video is... thought-invoking. Because I'm the guy who's usually go "Fuck turn limits, I finish the game my own way!". So seeing the likes of Nephenee, Mia or Ayra being listed as originally bad was surprising... because I keep using them and does fine. I mean, movement bonus by horse is fine, but I don't consider them super breaking term.
Well, guess everyone views Fire Emblem differently, one can see it as "This unit is unique and has good battle performance, I like using them." or "I want to finish the game ASAP for high score."
That being said, if Ayra was bad, you might want to take a look at Tailtiu. Basically: Take Ayra's foot locked problem, and give it to a Level 3 Thunder Mage that joins the last in Generation 1 (at Chapter 3!), with a magic weapon triangle that's... not the best (unlike Ayra who at least had Swords) This results an even more painful version, and she DOES NOT GET A HORSE. Unlike Azelle. In Heroes, though... well, she's definitely one of the top mages that totes out a Blade tome like a boss (pity she still gets overshadowed with Nino)
My poor Florina better be on the list of units that got made worse in heros. Poor poor florina
Before this video starts, I'm fullt expecting to see Gwendolyn from FE6 on this list.
all the waifu
Stopping the video at 7:07 to say bull-bologna to adding Aran in with some of the other disgraces that were shown.
WHOA WHOA WHOA... Wendy isn't just stronger than Zephs and Hector... BUT ALSO AS STRONG AS THE BLACK KNIGHT?! ... Okay, forget Bern! SHE IS THE QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE, Black Knight is the husbando, and they gave birth to the lineage that brought forth SAMUS ARAN. It's official now.
In my playthrtough of PoR, Mia was my best swordmaster. Must've been lucky with those levels.
Two things: One, I have Gwendo in Heroes too. Two... I kinda WISH I CONTINUED PLAYING HEROES, BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE MY PHONE HAS A BAD AMOUNT OF MEMORY, DAMN IT. Seriously, FE Heroes weights a TON.
8:08 I'm very dissapointed.
Yes,Nowi Isn't The best Dragon in FE:A,but the fact that She Can destroy half of the game don't mean that she's weak.And Think If We Combine Her Power with Panne.She Will be OP.
Even at End game She Can do something,She were My Godlike Unit In Awakening.
And If You aren't Happy She joins at Chapter 8,Two Chapters After Panne.
(I'm not dissapointed in the fact that she's OP in Heroes)
The best halberdier in radiant dawn is aran in por it's nephenee because besides devdan she's the only other halberdier
Funny how Odin is arguably the only hero in Heroes that's somehow WORSE in Heroes than the bottom-of-the-trash-can status he was in Fates.
But just you watch: Owain is gunna appear in a banner one of these days and he's either gunna somehow blow Ayra out of the water, or he's gunna literally be more trash than Odin.
A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE:
Eh. Owain's ok. Kliff is better though.
It’s literally just all the characters who they can use for fan service
I agreed with everyone one of these except for Amelia. Amelia is one of the 3 “Super Recruits/Trainees” Amelia, Ewan, and (please god just add my favorite journeyman already) Ross are 3 of the best units in the game when you progress them because of their versatility and 3 tier process. I know you’re saying “training tower and zombie incursions don’t count” but you can’t do that with Sacred Stones, it’s the most versatile of the games in terms of allowing you to train units (hence why it’s considered easy.) Amelia is a power house in both games.
Side note, I’m still sad about Lyon. ._.
I know he's a Holiday unit but I think Valentine's Conrad is my favorite Unit in this entire game. Still. He's been the main tank on my team since his first banner, and he has the highest resistance of ANY of my units to this day. He's the only unit I go out of my way to try to get as many merges as I can. It's actually kinda hard for me to utilize tanks to begin with, but set up his skills right and he'll also have a pretty mean attack, too.
As far as Echoes Conrad goes, though. . . He mostly falls by the wayside specifically because he's workign for the wrong army lol
By the time Celica gets him, there's a huge number of maps that do not coincide peacefully with Paladin units.
The only problem with Mia is that her voice acting is awful
I knew Ayra was gonna be no. 1. FE4 is one of my favourite RPGs and my favourite FE game. I really like Ayra but she was ok. But she has Astra (my favourite skill)
I would argue against Lyn. If you had used her Brave Incarnation I would definitely agree to her being on this list but Sword Lyn is just... meh. FEH has so many Infantry Sword Lords that just plain outclass Sword Lyn including two units on this list, Arya and Mia who can both double without the need of a personal weapon, better base stats, and amazing personal weapons and Lyn ofc gets Regnal Astra.
Swords in genealogy aren't that bad, as they're pretty much weightless, unlike lances and axes. Yeah, they can't counterattack at range, but neither can a lot of the cast
I have a +10 Donnel with 36 defense and CD,i once met an Ayra in arena and got double regnal astra’d, i had my animation off and just wonder.... did....did Ayra just deleted my Donnel...?
Yeah, that waiting line joke is kinda badly aged now that three of them are in Heroes now (Maribelle via Ylissian Travelers, Flora via Nohrian Dusk, and Kliff via Brave Redux).
I most said I would have tought Micaiah would have been there...
Also Amelia got pretty much the same bad stats low lvl as in her owen game to be fair. only 60 vs Lector 74 BST... And Hell she even lower than Marth whit his 63 She only a bit higher than Cav unite whit no legendary weapon but that not really the best exemple of high BST...
Another video from you always entertains me.
10 Characters that need to get into Heroes
1. Medeus
2. Nyx
3. Regular Noire
4. Anakos
5. Legendary Celica
6. Legendary Roy
7. Legendary Eliwood
8. Legendary Alm
9. Nergal
And
10. Sonia from FE7
I could imagine Anankos being in the game. Maybe they would have to make two variations, one representing his true form, and another representing the corrupted form that we see in Revelations (It would likely be a Fallen variation).
