Caineghis is Skrimir's uncle btw not his dad.

Hey 15 years earlier than I expected

Oliver recruting himself, actually happened to me on my very first blind playthrough of Radiant Dawn by complete accident. ....waaay back, when this game was only a few months old.

Here's a fun thing to do with Skrimir, in 4-P. He can bait over one of the enemies to the north to attack him while untransformed. He'll take just enough damage to be in resolve range. Have him transform turn-2, and you have resolve-Skrimir for the rest of the chapter, and he probably won't need any healing. Just keep him away from magic. I don't recall there being a similar position in 4-3; but there are plenty of mages he can bait, transformed or not, so it's easy to get him in resolve-range there.

You are a good boi Bloosegoose

I think Tormod is still way too low. He’s basically the Volke of part 1. He doubles everything and always at least nearly ORKOs. He’s definitely a better endgame pick than most of the DB scrubs that you’re babying

Gamble Volke. Have fun.

Always feel that Rafiel is the better heron over Reyson. Lack of canto sure, but being able to Galdr 4 units Turn 1 is a big deal

Disarm isn't fully a meme it's got some use for stealing weapons

Other than the fact that I think Nolan should be a little lower this tier list is very well made, researched and thought out

The cost of Dark tomes is why you'd use Thunder tomes with Pelleas; a forged Thunder tome that you make ahead of his joining and then trade to him helps his accuracy in 4-2 too.

I would be curious to see how transfer bonuses would affect things, if anything. It feels like some characters would greatly benefit from getting some boosts (Jill, Nephenee) whereas for some characters it only really affects how early you can start bonus XP abusing (Ike, Mia, Soren), and for some characters it just simply doesn't do enough to save them (Ilyana, Mist, Rhys).

Normal mode is a guide I would love to watch with transferred data attached. Then break down the royals and people with bad availability in there own group so they don't weigh down the regular played units

The biggest thing about Naesala, and why he feels (and largely is) worse than the other royals isn’t really that his stats are worse, it’s that he has S rank strike at base instead of SS like all the other royals. If you use him extensively in 4-P and 4-3, which you probably should, he can hit SS strike at which point he performs just as well as all the other royals in the tower. Being able to double auras without white tide is nice, especially in limited settings like draft or iron man, so he’s worth the investment overall.

You’re right about stillness, it makes it so you only get attacked if you’re literally the only target available, definitely nice on Micaiah I just wish it could go on your heron. It’s embarrassing to admit how I know this but Bastian still has to pay Volke’s 3k gold fee, and Volke just disappears if you try and recruit him without the gold lol. The conversation is pretty funny though. Volke deserves a shoutout from me for being able to one turn 4-5 with a double rescue since unlike Tibarn he can attack Izuka without clearing out his human shield of feral ones. I actually believe Naesala is better than Tibarn because of 4-5 being so damn easy. Obviously Tibarn’s stats are better but Naesala just stands out more in his second chapter than Tibarn. The reason Naesala feels weak initially is because he’s actually the only royal who doesn’t have SS strike, he just has S. So if you just let him get a bunch of strike rank in part 4 by tossing him into clumps of enemies he’ll be stronger than Nailah, and pretty close to Tibarn when they’re in the tower. Though Nailah does have that part 1 availability. Renning is solid in 0% growths thanks to his ability to use the wrymslayer and especially the hammer. Glad you put some respect on his name because I feel like most people never try him which is a shame. Giffca’s higher speed actually let’s him double Sephiran unlike Caineghis, and he can even double auras with a speedwing from 3-9. However this is a long time to hold onto a speedwing and when I tried it Haar really suffered in part 4, just something to note. Caineghis has the advantage of attacking turn 1 however, so I agree with your placement, just tossing some more info in. I don’t think there should be an entire tier between Gareth and Ena, they basically have the same utility. The only time you really need blood tide in the tower is for Dheginsea and especially Ashera, Ena is definitely better but not by a whole tier. And by that logic Nasir is above Ena due to how much better white pool is than blood tide. When availability is this, low the difference in the final chapter is pretty huge. I’ve actually never used Tanith… ever lol, so I’ll take your word for that one. I know she’s really good in the normal mode speedrun. Yeah Tauroneo’s defense is really bad for how high level he is and what his class should be good at, Jill and Nolan will have higher defense along with better offense and mobility in part 3. It’s just easy to miss because of when he joins, it’s amazing in 1-6. Man well done on this, Radiant Dawn tier lists are such a mess because of how availability works but you were pretty on the mark. I don’t see a single person on the list I’d move by more than 1 tier. Glad I found your channel through this series

Let's. Funkin. Goooooooo 🎉

If you have POR transfers with giffca selected, would argue giffca is better than lion king due to having higher speed and coming with the strength transfer, but otherwise same unit.

Volug is good? Also Zihark over Mia and Edward?

Woohoo, he moved Ilyana up by 1 spot! 10/10 Best Unit!

I always save bexp for oliver, he caps every stat if you put it all in him.. Free healer with no investment for endgame is good no matter what, he is legit good in tower even without bexp LOL

Respect the use of ffxiv music

I feel like you’re losing it 😂

Rumor has it that those people who are bad at ironmanning have managed a monopoly on Advance Wars content thanks to the Advance Wars communities being corrupt beyond belief. Because according to the Advance Wars communities, assaulting and violating a woman at cross country convention, as well as inciting catfighting and degenerate competition between women doesn't outweigh...........I'm sorry, what do those people bad at ironmanning have anyway? Nothing of true value, I know that much.

Disagree with the Zihark demotion/Mia promotion. Being one of the few good units on the DB makes Zihark more essential than Mia, not less. Mia gets more chapters in part 3 to grow, but she's usually competing with the best units in the game for slots on the map and EXP while Zihark is competing against children.
