He carried us in the early game, guiding us through insane Hero Battles He carried us through the mid game, laying out strategies for every new insane game mode Now he's carrying us in the late game, interpreting mountains of insane skill text as unsustainable power creep begins to overtake the game itself All hail PM1, the heroic keeper of our sanity!
Agreed. His build ideas actually really helped me get started in competitive FEH. Now I can come up with builds on my lonesome, but these suggested builds are still very helpful.
Er, really...? I found most of this batch utterly forgettable. It was kind of neat seeing kid Soren meeting all the Greil mercs, but it didn't go anywhere. B!Soren was just a little bit nicer than normal, but didn't grow or change any over the scenes; he was already like that at the first scene and meeting his kid self didn't seem to have much of an impact. Even his final scene was just basically repeating "It sure will be touching and life-changing when you meet all these nice people _in that other world"_ when we could have seen it play out firsthand in these scenes. Let the kid cry happy tears and crack B!Soren's facade as he introspects. (Side note, how did none of the Greil mercs aside from Ike recognize Kid!Soren? Hadn't they already adopted him once before? Besides, it's not like the resemblance is subtle...) Robin's was literally just Grima poking him about "Destiny can't change, you're going to go bad" and Robin and Chrom going "Nuh-uh!" yet again, some more, _for the fiftieth time._ Would've been way more interesting if this Robin had been the version that sacrificed himself to perma-kill Grima and came back anyway. I kept waiting for him to show them he'd completely lost his Brand and reveal that he was completely free of them. Would've scared the pants off of the Grimas, who think they're immortal, literally turning the tables on their "I am inevitable" tired old song and dance. Corrin's was mostly just congratulating Revelations!Corrin over The Power of Friendship some more, as if that anvil wasn't hammered home hard enough already. I think the most interesting detail I can recall is the foreshadowing that a higher power like the Silent Dragon might be behind Askr's endless conflicts, and even that was a side note in a conversation that wasn't even the final scene. Gullveig's was perhaps the most interesting, but I think that's partly because we know the least about her but mainly because it's piggy-backing off the suspense in the main plot right now. Still, at least it had something we hadn't already seen before in it, and actually decided to show it to us instead of talk about it happening elsewhere.
I gave Flared Sparrow to my Brave Seliph and have been running Hit and Run in his B slot and it’s proved to be a pretty fun tech for keeping ranged units from easily reaching him and the team
Brave Seliph was my first thought too. He's just so fun to slap random skills on and go to town with weird possibilities. My current favorite is Galeforce, Heavy Blade 4, and _Pass,_ to zip under the tanks' legs and erase their back line. Just wait til we get a Vein ability that grants a bunch of Pathfinder tiles...
Normally, I dont view youtube videos this long but because its very informative, detailed, and not missing out anything, this is an exception. Thank you!
I find it very funny that poison strike seal is a legit contender for two turning far save hardy fighter/%DR Armors soley for the +31 out of combat damage
There's usually one specific unit from each cyl that becomes the most commonly used each year, with B!Lyn, B!Veronica, B!Micaiah, B!Edelgard, B!Eirika, and B!Seliph. However, I think everyone on cyl7 is "fair and balanced" enough to be on similar levels as each other. So far at least, I've been seeing B!FCorrins in arena modes and in AR (I don't play SD modes because screw powercreep in those kind of modes).
Thank you for the coverage PM1 I really appreciate the analysis and testing u do for us! ^^💖 I just tested my legendary Veronica with flared sparrow and omg she's even more insane now she now completely tanks brave hector and idunn who she sometimes struggle with and the chip damage and flame terrian help so much too especially in arena so yeah! :)💖
I was hoping for a guide on who is best for Gambit 4 and Flare, and this definitely helps. Gotta make sure to fodder it to a Rearmed Unit first, especially with how Rearmed Ophelia was in the last AHR banner.
For Gullveig if you use her with Heidr I suggest using Desperation. I used Desperation on mine and in my showcase I show how beneficially it can be. The fact nothing is tied to her HP is also great since she can land on a lightning trap and get into desp right away.
This is probably the best CYL we’ve had relative to the respective years. Flared Sparrow I just know is gonna be so good for some units I have Far save just got a lot more difficult to deal with I can tell just by Corrin existing. And counter roar seems like a really nice B slot for my Hallow Nils if I go all in on offense since I’ve already given him Arcane Grima Rally Spectrum just seems so ridiculous, especially my recent Forma Scathach that has 1 Cooldown Ruptured Sky cause of Arcane Eljuonir, which means I could run something like AD Oath 4. And Gambit seems like a really cool skill that I may consider slapping onto some slower units that can’t really use DR B slot skills as effectively. It does make me think we may be getting a new 5 turn premium special in future though… And Flare looks to be a really nice option for my well fed Ricken… And the save possibilities that come with Soren… So many infantry, maybe some Cormags and Haars, hell, let my bulky Conrad be an annoying near save with his Dragon wall effect. I can tell it’s gonna be fun Thank you for your hard work good sir. This probably took countless hours to make
Thank you so much for taking to time going into depth by making nearly a 1 hour video about each hero and the best users for their fodder. ALL of the CYL7 units are incredible, each offering something fun and unique to the table, and after using them all, I'd have to say Soren is most definitely the winner imo. His buffs are amazing, his assign decoy is unique, his flare special offers a great hp condition, and is overall a great nuke mage, but that isn't to say the other heroes aren't great, I like them all.
Thanks for the extra long video and the in-depth analysis and testing you did with each unit! Appreciate all the hard work you put in for the community. I like how every unit has something unique about them. I've enjoyed using them all, but as a fan of mage nukes, I really enjoy using B!Soren and B!Gullveig the most. It's also been fun playing around with Assign Decoy, especially with L!Seliph. Have a great rest of your day!
Thanks for the 1 hour CYL analysis video, I've been waiting for this. While I do think that they're all great, I will have to say Soren is probably the best of the bunch, his buffs are so good and the savior effect he offers to units really helped me out a ton. I also do love F!Corrins atk and divine vein, and Robin's rally spectrum is incredible, Gullveig I found the most underwhelming, but I still think she's a great mage flier overall with the extra action.
All the legacy FE characters play like they should. Corrin is a big dumb statball that protects her allies. Robin is a top tier support that dives into battle alongside his allies. And Soren is a tricky support that requires careful team building but excels competitively and scales with the skill of the player.
Mechanically, I like Soren the most. I feel like Robin has the most longevity with his insane support. Art and concept wise, I like Corrin the most. Gullaveig has amazing fodder. Wasn't too excited for her anyways
About time we got the long awaited CYL7 analysis video. Personally, imo, I will have to say that Soren is probably the best unit for this year's CYL due to his insane buffs and base kit, but as for the others, combat wise I'd say F!Corrin an Gullveig fit the bill, mainly from F!Corrin's counter attack/dmg output and Gullveig's extra action, but support wise it has to go to M!Robin because of his rally spectrum and special cd.
I went with Soren and absolutely do not regret it. The combination of a powerful nuke (with a Brave effect!) alongside Saviour is extremely powerful. I rarely go for a +10 version right out of the gate, yet here I want to attempt for a +10 Soren. Thankfully, mine is currently +4, so this is possible.
The units for the next hall of forms were announced. Along with Legendary Roy, we have Cath, Ninja Igrene and Birdal Lilina. What are your thoughts on it?
We've known for what feels like ages, brother. Ninja igrene with guidance 4 is the best pound for pound unit. She has built-in warp and can bounce your units. Roy is too sad to even think of. Lilina is alright, and Cath is whatever.
Liliana basically got the nail in the coffin as soon as Corrin came out lol. AOE isn't useful anymore (though that depends if your opponent runs Corrin)
@Limegreenedragon echidna wasn't getting in that soon after her refine. That's an unrealistic expectation since that happens almost never. I can't even remember the last time someone got in post refine. The remix hall of forms are usually remixed heroes, seasonal units, trash demote, and lately, a flier unit who can get all the good skills.
I generally love all of these units and they each have their niches. Personally though I think that Soren and F!Corrin are the winner of this CYL with how good they are, it's honestly insane with their kits. That's not to say that the other two aren't good at all but in comparison, I think that they do more
Ive used all of them now, I still think gullveig is a little underwhelming compared to the rest but still plenty strong to use on most teams and unique to most mages with her galforce effect. My favourite of the bunch is soren. Turning the lucias and s!fjorms of the world into save units is not only broken, but it will continue to age extremely well as you can just use whatever the best new omnitank is. As an offensive unit, he gets so many buffs that he actually ends up quadding decently often too which is nice. Robin is better than expected thanks to such huge warping distance, but the special stuff is a bit weird and he doesnt get ignis super consistently. Corrin does corrin things, she seems weirdly squishy sometimes and dies to units that bride tiki and young hector don't, but being fast is huge against melee options and i think she's best as an omnitank for modes you only get one save. I'm also considering running hardy fighter since DR peircing is her main issue. Its strange since armoured floe and 17 true reduction should be plenty but mine still died to deadeye duo chrom, as well as a rearmed ophelia into tea lysithea combo.
Great in-depth review, as always! 😁 The first CYL has been my favorite for a long time, but I think this one finally beats it! Very unique, fun abilities this time around, with top-tier art and design!
Thanks so much for this video!!! Couldn't decide if I wanted to grab Gambit 4 for my Ross or keep Special Spiral 4.... Admittedly still undecided, so I may just take both! 😄 I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. It really shows, and idk what the FEH community would do without you 😂
@Phoenixmaster1 Could you please make a video listing and showcasing some of the best non-armor savior candidates using Soren's assign decoy? Also, thanks for the amazing video as always
Hey PM1! I wanted to run my Soren with fallen F!Byleth for the crazy vantage decoy plays, and was hoping to merge up fallen byleth. Do you have any idea when F!Byleth is due for a re-run?
@@OpheliaDuskEllayah i feel that. Now with PM1’s videos i at least understand tip the scales a little better. Also, sorry but i edited the comment to ask a question so only I get the comment unfortunatly!
Really great video! Appreciated the advice, though I was able to get all the units at least once thanks to the spark and free choice, I find Soren to be the most useful unit of the batch, though he's my all-time favorite male character in the series so I'm definitely biased.
I genuinely think Robin is such a unique spin on a Godsword, but also I don't think what he is counts as it. The support is SO unique and so strong, and sure his DR is pierceable, but his adaptive damage potential, warping, true damage, omni +13, and just being really fast is huge. I myself see Saves falling out a bit more, so even if a non-armor can become a Save unit, there is some potential things that can make your team FALL apart if you don't prepare, like a Dark Shrine -10ing a stat forcing another unit to get Decoy, or just positions not wanting a unit to have a Save effect that turn. Gullveig is super strong but also is not anything super wild that I think will be the goal for units years to come to overtake. The easy Galeforce effect and hindering movements is huge, but that is more from the A Slot than Gullveig. And Corrin, I said that Saves are on the decline and I expect more counters to come out still like more Embla-esc effects. But the Dragonvein she gives is SUCH a huge shift in power for her combat, being a colorless dragon with almost always mid 50s for both Def/Res, and Spd getting mid 60s with NFU is huge. So Imo, with their niches AND their combat performance, I think Robin > Corrin >> Gullveig=Soren. Gullveig's combat I find much scarier than Soren mainly due to Phantom Res existing, and stats will always increase overtime. So his Dragon Wall and Res Check can start to be shaky. Gullveig I think will be great ALWAYS but not something we will see be the staple of every team. But that is just my own opinion in regards to this, and what I often struggle against/do well against impacting how strong I think some things are
Was waiting for your skill recommendations and just gave Flare to my +10 ascended Celica, after using a mystic boost build for the longest while. Problem with the latter build is that using things like summoner support or more dragon flowers might be a detriment since more HP could make her fall short of the threshold for miracle looping. So this feels freeing, thank you!
great analysis as always!! been loving AoE Gullveig, I was lucky to get Soren as well but was unsure what to do with him.. thanks for your help! I also sparked another Soren so I could pass Flare onto A!Celica ❤
great guides as always Juanmaster1 !! i went hard on corrin and +10ed her and i immediately used her in AR and i must say she trivialized a lot of the enemy maps.
I'm surprised he didn't mention Fomortiis with counter roar 4. It's so good on him. I feel like he could've went over more of which units could inherent these new skills. Tbh, most people already kind of know of what the units do before coming to the video, but not who all should inherent the new skills. Because I didn't even know fliers could inherent gambit 4. I literally built Haar fully yesterday because of this video. I did some calculations, and he was tanking and killing Ninja Camilla and Gullveig. I definitely think you should go over more inheritable units in the future, even if it makes the video long. We're going to watch all of it. Promise.
I personally like Special Spiral 4 on Brave Corrin. There's absurdly fast units like Duo Shamir that can be problematic if they survive thanks to their damage reduction and higher Spd. With Special Spiral 4 (and some Breath status support), Brave Corrin can now one-shot these annoying fast units through their DR in a way that Special Fighter and Counter Roar can't.
Thank you for the units analysis!! I'm looking forward to watching all of it!! After watching it all, thank you once again for this!! I think out of the four, I'll probably use gullveig the most because I do prefer galeforce units a bit more!
doing a hit and run thing on a bow cav with the usual firesweep bow, flared sparrow, trace/poison strike and double savage blow sounds like a lot of fun and pretty decent against all this damage reduction teehee
I know it's a little late for this, but thanks a ton for the analysis there! Also you mentioned how Gullveig isn't the best for arena due to her scoring, and I was wondering what exactly makes a unit ahh good for arena for scoring purposes! Sorry I'm still kinda new to FEH, so I'm trying to wrap my head around all these mechanics! Which is also why I'm extra grateful for your awesome content!!
Soren opens a door to a lot of shit and im so happy. I didnt realized what you said about infantry only C/S skills for support and its awesome! I was thinking about building Haar just to support him, but maybe i can look for a good infantry option too
I’m a little surprised that only fliers and cavs can inherit this, while it’s weird that infantry can’t get this, I’m glad that cavs and fliers are getting a lot of love, since they have been playing catch up on skills for the past few years
Guys, a little question. As a new player (3 days) should i summon on this CYL7 banner or the hero fest for new players? And if hero fest, which color should I focus while summoning ?
Top tier guide as always. I just went all in with my poor f2p orbs, got B! Gullveig (my aim) and sparked both B! Robin and B! Soren. I'm just missing B! F! Corrin, but I already have a highly invested far save tank in A! Idunn and it would pain me to bench her (even if she's not so strong anymore). I hope B! Gullveig helps me in Light season, where I've been struggling a lot (especially during Anna bonus weeks...).
This is the first CYL banner i summoned for 3 sparks. And wouldnt i be so emtpy with orbs, i would do it a fourth time. I love these units. So much fun to use them and all of them very unique + good models, visuals and arts!
T!Lelia is also amazing with Flared sparrow. Not only does she have windsweep effect but also extra AoE chip damage after combat paired with poison strike of savage blow will net you around 47 dmg not counting AoE specials to main target or around 40+ depending on your AoE special. Pair her with someone that give special cooldown and a dance partner and you essentially have another Gullvieg with a bit of support should you keep D/R Smoke 3 or swap for Guidance 4 and just apply flame to half the map.
PM1 - do you think theoretically a nifl C passive damage of 30% would stack with counter roar 4? i am heavily debating on saccing corrin for my +10 nifl all dependent if it stacks
So I’ve been playing around with the ghb units and imo Robin is absolutely the best, rally spectrum is insane and it basically fixes one of the biggest issues with feh which is the whole -1 cd economy, now with Robin non -1 weapons are really good again
This CYL is probably the most consistently enjoyable one for me that we’ve ever gotten, they’re so unique and fun to use. Let’s hope none of them get powercrept anytime soon, don’t want another brave Tiki situation.
I pulled a Brave Robin after a full batch of a Louise and a Fallen Dimitri that got me 2 charges. I’m currently on 20/40 pulls. So I hope to get one more character so I can spark the other 2. I always save my free pick until after the 40 pulls. Love your work! Also can we get a Gambit guide video? It’s such a unique skill that gives DR and true damage to so many non-inf units
I picked Robin as my free pic because, since day one, I've been voting for him. He's my favorite of the bunch, and he goes really well with my Bonus Doubler Grand Strategy team!
So far i can confirm the AOE gullveig strat in astra season works really well. Especially with f2p seior and reginn mythic buffs giving her even more attack. And using duo askr and duo chrom easily precharges the blazing wind special. I feel like it gets past her not having dr piercing well because the AOE and flared sparrow does so much damage that the tanks will not be surviving with the little hp remaining. Then you can pick off a second target and run away with canto after, its very good!
Top Tier Melee Tanks like L!Seliph, B!Dimitri and Ranged Tanks like Duo Askr, S!Ymir. It depends on your barracks and the kind of units you already have.
@@Pheonixmaster1 Was thinking Young Ike just cause he's the newest Ike and the one with a longer weapon effect. Wanted to be wrong cause he's a kid so I'm glad Fallen is the play.
Love the content . Been waiting for this one. How do you feel Tea Sigurd would perform with flared sparrow, canto and def/res smoke in AR? Do you believe he is viable?
Merges do help with the arena scoring but if your Corrin isn't +10 then I wouldn't recommend using DC seal for scoring and would recommend something else for stats.
Tip the scales does work with AOE specials but it still only triggers on the first attack in combat and therefore is only useful for recharging the special.
With the Ascended Celica build for looping miracle you mentioned that you can get more healing from the 'Atk/Spd finish 4' skill on top of the 30% max HP from Flare. Is there a specific reason you mentioned the extra healing from the Finish 4 skill since Flare already puts her above the 25% mark needed for another miracle?
I think that Robin's potential is going to be from a new team comp/build that gets enabled by Robin and not just fitting him into current teams, but I am not able to theorycraft what that team could be. Also, what team are you using to pre-charge AoE Gullveig or are you just AoEing on the second combat? Thanks for all you do PM1.
Which CYL7 unit do you like the MOST?
Brave Gullveig!
She was well worth the long wait!
Brave Gullveig, the extra characterization hits as hard as she does
Brave Soren!! I was waiting to +10 him amd i'm very glad I did.
GigaChadSoren the x4 killer
Gullveig; her story is similar to her in the meta; it's a butterfly effect....

Completely agree! I probably wouldn't enjoy FEH even half as much w/o PM1 vids.
He carried us in the early game, guiding us through insane Hero Battles
He carried us through the mid game, laying out strategies for every new insane game mode

oh right, her HP isn't applied, thanks for the heads up
This is probably the best CYL we’ve had relative to the respective years.
Flared Sparrow I just know is gonna be so good for some units I have
Far save just got a lot more difficult to deal with I can tell just by Corrin existing. And counter roar seems like a really nice B slot for my Hallow Nils if I go all in on offense since I’ve already given him Arcane Grima
Rally Spectrum just seems so ridiculous, especially my recent Forma Scathach that has 1 Cooldown Ruptured Sky cause of Arcane Eljuonir, which means I could run something like AD Oath 4. And Gambit seems like a really cool skill that I may consider slapping onto some slower units that can’t really use DR B slot skills as effectively. It does make me think we may be getting a new 5 turn premium special in future though…
And Flare looks to be a really nice option for my well fed Ricken… And the save possibilities that come with Soren… So many infantry, maybe some Cormags and Haars, hell, let my bulky Conrad be an annoying near save with his Dragon wall effect. I can tell it’s gonna be fun

Nice vid! Are you planing on doing a guide for the best near/far save options with soren?
The Best options will always change with time and game mode so it's something hard to recommend because everyone has different set of units 😅
This is the first CYL ever where I still haven't decided on my free pick and I've been playing since day 1. Thanks for the helpful video as always!!
The units for the next hall of forms were announced. Along with Legendary Roy, we have Cath, Ninja Igrene and Birdal Lilina. What are your thoughts on it?
We've known for what feels like ages, brother. Ninja igrene with guidance 4 is the best pound for pound unit. She has built-in warp and can bounce your units. Roy is too sad to even think of. Lilina is alright, and Cath is whatever.
Liliana basically got the nail in the coffin as soon as Corrin came out lol. AOE isn't useful anymore (though that depends if your opponent runs Corrin)
@@smileytlj23 except for the fact that everyone was expecting Echidna and Percival given their weapon refines
@@krismarshall3803 granted if Legendary Lilina gets a remix, her AOE skill, as it is is not going to cut it.
@Limegreenedragon echidna wasn't getting in that soon after her refine. That's an unrealistic expectation since that happens almost never. I can't even remember the last time someone got in post refine. The remix hall of forms are usually remixed heroes, seasonal units, trash demote, and lately, a flier unit who can get all the good skills.
I generally love all of these units and they each have their niches.
Personally though I think that Soren and F!Corrin are the winner of this CYL with how good they are, it's honestly insane with their kits. That's not to say that the other two aren't good at all but in comparison, I think that they do more
What is up with people underestimating Robin? He has more staying power then Corrin tbh. Tip the Scales is nuts.
Ive used all of them now, I still think gullveig is a little underwhelming compared to the rest but still plenty strong to use on most teams and unique to most mages with her galforce effect.
My favourite of the bunch is soren. Turning the lucias and s!fjorms of the world into save units is not only broken, but it will continue to age extremely well as you can just use whatever the best new omnitank is. As an offensive unit, he gets so many buffs that he actually ends up quadding decently often too which is nice.
Robin is better than expected thanks to such huge warping distance, but the special stuff is a bit weird and he doesnt get ignis super consistently. Corrin does corrin things, she seems weirdly squishy sometimes and dies to units that bride tiki and young hector don't, but being fast is huge against melee options and i think she's best as an omnitank for modes you only get one save. I'm also considering running hardy fighter since DR peircing is her main issue. Its strange since armoured floe and 17 true reduction should be plenty but mine still died to deadeye duo chrom, as well as a rearmed ophelia into tea lysithea combo.
someone also mentioned that HP doesn't apply to Gullveig, so some skills like desperation could be used more often
Great in-depth review, as always! 😁 The first CYL has been my favorite for a long time, but I think this one finally beats it! Very unique, fun abilities this time around, with top-tier art and design!
Really hoped Flare would have dr piercing or something, but recovery is always nice. Great vid!
This guide is the best CYL7 I have seen, great work!
For some lore accuracy, you can use Flared Sparrow on Fallen Berkut :D
With Gambit 4 on the B slot right?
Flared Sparrow is awesome...
As one comment in twitter said "Stealth Rock in FEH".
Thanks for the breakdown of the new skills!
Thanks so much for this video!!! Couldn't decide if I wanted to grab Gambit 4 for my Ross or keep Special Spiral 4.... Admittedly still undecided, so I may just take both! 😄 I appreciate the time and effort you put into this video. It really shows, and idk what the FEH community would do without you 😂
I think Ross is extremely good user of Gambit 4 too if you can give that to him.
Thank you for your support man!
Thanks for the analysis! Fantastic as always. I swear, without your breakdowns I would be LOST in this game.
@Phoenixmaster1 Could you please make a video listing and showcasing some of the best non-armor savior candidates using Soren's assign decoy?
Also, thanks for the amazing video as always
Hey PM1! I wanted to run my Soren with fallen F!Byleth for the crazy vantage decoy plays, and was hoping to merge up fallen byleth. Do you have any idea when F!Byleth is due for a re-run?
I dont panik when i see robin i panik when i see corrin
@@OpheliaDuskEllayah i feel that. Now with PM1’s videos i at least understand tip the scales a little better. Also, sorry but i edited the comment to ask a question so only I get the comment unfortunatly!
Sadly there isn't any rerun scheduled for F!Byleth but my guess is probably on October's Mythic Banner?
IS locking Flare to Infantry only means they were scared of what Summer Eirika could do.
Almost an hour-long video analysis? Oh yes!=3 You always are so hard-working! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!=)
I've been eagerly awaiting this, and you more than exceeded my expectations!! Thanks so much for the Ultimate CYL7 analysis & guide!!
Really great video! Appreciated the advice, though I was able to get all the units at least once thanks to the spark and free choice, I find Soren to be the most useful unit of the batch, though he's my all-time favorite male character in the series so I'm definitely biased.
I genuinely think Robin is such a unique spin on a Godsword, but also I don't think what he is counts as it. The support is SO unique and so strong, and sure his DR is pierceable, but his adaptive damage potential, warping, true damage, omni +13, and just being really fast is huge. I myself see Saves falling out a bit more, so even if a non-armor can become a Save unit, there is some potential things that can make your team FALL apart if you don't prepare, like a Dark Shrine -10ing a stat forcing another unit to get Decoy, or just positions not wanting a unit to have a Save effect that turn.
Gullveig is super strong but also is not anything super wild that I think will be the goal for units years to come to overtake. The easy Galeforce effect and hindering movements is huge, but that is more from the A Slot than Gullveig.
And Corrin, I said that Saves are on the decline and I expect more counters to come out still like more Embla-esc effects. But the Dragonvein she gives is SUCH a huge shift in power for her combat, being a colorless dragon with almost always mid 50s for both Def/Res, and Spd getting mid 60s with NFU is huge.
So Imo, with their niches AND their combat performance, I think Robin > Corrin >> Gullveig=Soren. Gullveig's combat I find much scarier than Soren mainly due to Phantom Res existing, and stats will always increase overtime. So his Dragon Wall and Res Check can start to be shaky. Gullveig I think will be great ALWAYS but not something we will see be the staple of every team. But that is just my own opinion in regards to this, and what I often struggle against/do well against impacting how strong I think some things are
Amazing video! Ton of great information here
Was waiting for your skill recommendations and just gave Flare to my +10 ascended Celica, after using a mystic boost build for the longest while. Problem with the latter build is that using things like summoner support or more dragon flowers might be a detriment since more HP could make her fall short of the threshold for miracle looping. So this feels freeing, thank you!
Nice feature length review. I didn't even realise how long it was because there's no filler. 😊
Just a note, divine vein does help enemys too, you can test it as a enemy corrin will give you +6def and res and also 10 flat dmg from specials
great analysis as always!! been loving AoE Gullveig, I was lucky to get Soren as well but was unsure what to do with him.. thanks for your help! I also sparked another Soren so I could pass Flare onto A!Celica ❤
great guides as always Juanmaster1 !!
i went hard on corrin and +10ed her and i immediately used her in AR and i must say she trivialized a lot of the enemy maps.
Banger video! The design, composition, ending phrase, builds, analyzis! Purrfekt! Fantastic job, keep it up champ! :3
Really appreciate how much time and effort you put in these videos. Definitely watching all of this. Thank you for all your hard work!!
I'm surprised he didn't mention Fomortiis with counter roar 4. It's so good on him. I feel like he could've went over more of which units could inherent these new skills. Tbh, most people already kind of know of what the units do before coming to the video, but not who all should inherent the new skills. Because I didn't even know fliers could inherent gambit 4. I literally built Haar fully yesterday because of this video. I did some calculations, and he was tanking and killing Ninja Camilla and Gullveig. I definitely think you should go over more inheritable units in the future, even if it makes the video long. We're going to watch all of it. Promise.
Thank you for this, PM1! Quality information and editing as always.
My man Coomer ike + Boren is such a nasty combo specially w unity and rebuff from Lobin :
please make a tier list for all the units that would benefit from these new CYL skills! Ty for your hard work PM!
Flared Sparrow is so good! I gave it to L!Claude and haven't regretted it. Now all we need is Canto in the Failnaught refine hehe
Great vid as always
I personally like Special Spiral 4 on Brave Corrin. There's absurdly fast units like Duo Shamir that can be problematic if they survive thanks to their damage reduction and higher Spd. With Special Spiral 4 (and some Breath status support), Brave Corrin can now one-shot these annoying fast units through their DR in a way that Special Fighter and Counter Roar can't.
Thank you for the units analysis!! I'm looking forward to watching all of it!!
After watching it all, thank you once again for this!! I think out of the four, I'll probably use gullveig the most because I do prefer galeforce units a bit more!
doing a hit and run thing on a bow cav with the usual firesweep bow, flared sparrow, trace/poison strike and double savage blow sounds like a lot of fun and pretty decent against all this damage reduction teehee
I know it's a little late for this, but thanks a ton for the analysis there!
Also you mentioned how Gullveig isn't the best for arena due to her scoring, and I was wondering what exactly makes a unit ahh good for arena for scoring purposes!
Sorry I'm still kinda new to FEH, so I'm trying to wrap my head around all these mechanics! Which is also why I'm extra grateful for your awesome content!!
brave female corrin just covering the whole map in divine vein stone was hilarious! great video as always pm1
Soren opens a door to a lot of shit and im so happy. I didnt realized what you said about infantry only C/S skills for support and its awesome! I was thinking about building Haar just to support him, but maybe i can look for a good infantry option too
I’m a little surprised that only fliers and cavs can inherit this, while it’s weird that infantry can’t get this, I’m glad that cavs and fliers are getting a lot of love, since they have been playing catch up on skills for the past few years
Amazing analysis. Thanks PM1. I may go back in when I get back up to 160 F2P orbs now that I got my Reginn merges.
one hour?
that's A LOT of work, man.
Kudos.
Guys, a little question. As a new player (3 days) should i summon on this CYL7 banner or the hero fest for new players? And if hero fest, which color should I focus while summoning ?
Top tier guide as always. I just went all in with my poor f2p orbs, got B! Gullveig (my aim) and sparked both B! Robin and B! Soren. I'm just missing B! F! Corrin, but I already have a highly invested far save tank in A! Idunn and it would pain me to bench her (even if she's not so strong anymore). I hope B! Gullveig helps me in Light season, where I've been struggling a lot (especially during Anna bonus weeks...).
I cant play this game anymore without a guide 😅, thanks PM1 for providing these guides
This is the first CYL banner i summoned for 3 sparks. And wouldnt i be so emtpy with orbs, i would do it a fourth time. I love these units. So much fun to use them and all of them very unique + good models, visuals and arts!
You know there’s a lot to think about when PM1 uploads a near hour video on CYL. I really appreciate seeing your thoughts here. Thanks a bunch
T!Lelia is also amazing with Flared sparrow. Not only does she have windsweep effect but also extra AoE chip damage after combat paired with poison strike of savage blow will net you around 47 dmg not counting AoE specials to main target or around 40+ depending on your AoE special.
Pair her with someone that give special cooldown and a dance partner and you essentially have another Gullvieg with a bit of support should you keep D/R Smoke 3 or swap for Guidance 4 and just apply flame to half the map.
What about Fatal Smoke on Gullveig? I know it's not as impressive as other C skills, but it seems like it'd work pretty well with Flared Sparrow.
Yeah that's a pretty good option as well.
Thanks for your hard work! These kinds of videos are really helpful for me.
PM1 - do you think theoretically a nifl C passive damage of 30% would stack with counter roar 4? i am heavily debating on saccing corrin for my +10 nifl all dependent if it stacks
Yes, DR stacks with Counter Roar, but it won't add to the damage reflection.
So I’ve been playing around with the ghb units and imo Robin is absolutely the best, rally spectrum is insane and it basically fixes one of the biggest issues with feh which is the whole -1 cd economy, now with Robin non -1 weapons are really good again
Been watching you since day 1, i dont even play feh anymore but i respect the hustle. Keep on doing what you do and thank you!
Thank you so much for sticking around!
This CYL is probably the most consistently enjoyable one for me that we’ve ever gotten, they’re so unique and fun to use. Let’s hope none of them get powercrept anytime soon, don’t want another brave Tiki situation.
I loved Gambit 4. We needed somwthing for high cd specials. Poor ignis and aether were kind of put behind
As always PM1 always helps us parse all these new complex effects on these units, I'm definitely gonna revisit this video for a long time.
I pulled a Brave Robin after a full batch of a Louise and a Fallen Dimitri that got me 2 charges. I’m currently on 20/40 pulls. So I hope to get one more character so I can spark the other 2. I always save my free pick until after the 40 pulls. Love your work!
Also can we get a Gambit guide video? It’s such a unique skill that gives DR and true damage to so many non-inf units
I picked Robin as my free pic because, since day one, I've been voting for him. He's my favorite of the bunch, and he goes really well with my Bonus Doubler Grand Strategy team!
So far i can confirm the AOE gullveig strat in astra season works really well. Especially with f2p seior and reginn mythic buffs giving her even more attack. And using duo askr and duo chrom easily precharges the blazing wind special. I feel like it gets past her not having dr piercing well because the AOE and flared sparrow does so much damage that the tanks will not be surviving with the little hp remaining. Then you can pick off a second target and run away with canto after, its very good!
So which will be the best units for Soren to have Support with? I mean so that his partner benefits from the Decoy ability?
Top Tier Melee Tanks like L!Seliph, B!Dimitri and Ranged Tanks like Duo Askr, S!Ymir. It depends on your barracks and the kind of units you already have.
Which Ike is the best one to pair with Soren as his Savior?
Fallen Ike
@@Pheonixmaster1 Was thinking Young Ike just cause he's the newest Ike and the one with a longer weapon effect. Wanted to be wrong cause he's a kid so I'm glad Fallen is the play.
Love the content . Been waiting for this one.
How do you feel Tea Sigurd would perform with flared sparrow, canto and def/res smoke in AR? Do you believe he is viable?
Thank you for your support and yes that's definitely his best Slot A skill! He could even run Poison Strike in B to chip down foes more!
27:52 when you talk about this arena scoring, does she have to be +10 merged, or can she just run the build and achieve the same score?
Merges do help with the arena scoring but if your Corrin isn't +10 then I wouldn't recommend using DC seal for scoring and would recommend something else for stats.
Tip the scales does work with AOE specials but it still only triggers on the first attack in combat and therefore is only useful for recharging the special.
im still confused,does divine vein doesnt stack for the same only or with corrin too?
I went all in for Soren. I wanted him for Arena capability and AR-offense.
What do you think of Brave Dimitri with Gambit 4??
Lose his auto Follow Atk in exchange of 10% extra DR + Spd/Def -4 + 15 true damage.
For high invest B!Dimi, I think it can work.
Why distant counter seal to corrin? 😮
Arena Scoring, explained it in the video while talking about that build.
With the Ascended Celica build for looping miracle you mentioned that you can get more healing from the 'Atk/Spd finish 4' skill on top of the 30% max HP from Flare. Is there a specific reason you mentioned the extra healing from the Finish 4 skill since Flare already puts her above the 25% mark needed for another miracle?
Just wanted to mention that you heal a lot more HP if you run Finish with Flare in case you need it for subsequent combats.
I've been waiting for this one! Thx!
Great video. Forgot to ask.what would happen if legendary marth attacks brave corrin?
Stalemate or if B!Marth is highly invested & well supported with L!M!Robin then he will kill her.
I think that Robin's potential is going to be from a new team comp/build that gets enabled by Robin and not just fitting him into current teams, but I am not able to theorycraft what that team could be.
Also, what team are you using to pre-charge AoE Gullveig or are you just AoEing on the second combat?
Thanks for all you do PM1.
My initial thought for brave Robin is a combo of L.robin a broadleaf tome and/or laevatein
Thanks for the support! I run AoE Gullveig with Askr + Duo Chrom so I just have to repo her like 2 turns and she charges the AoE
Which elements would be better for each of these characters? For AR I mean
My Brave Chrom can get an extra 2+ to all stats on top of the +5 in combat buffs rally spectrum provides neato.
Thanks for the review and the builds.
Would it be good to give flared sparrow to my +10 brave eirika?
Yup!
Heavily considering giving Gambit to Itsuki, but I will wait for his refine before I commit to that.
I have everyone except for Robin so far which is crazy bc I’ve never been this lucky with my pulls before 😭 the chain challenges coming in clutch fr
