🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbors and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

Where would you rank Tana in the tierlist at the end? (Don't look at the responses if you want to avoid spoilers)

@KiwiiPuma Жыл бұрын

I would set her on 1st place, even if Pierce triggers is still situational compared to Slayer consistency. As you mentioned, having javelins on those maps would have cut turns and time plus, considering that Arthur is more fragile overall, I think Tana does deserve that ranking.

20:36 The glitch occurs because the pierce animation cancels out other animations and you attack faster than the HP bar can drain. If the HP bar is draining and you attack while it still happens the game breaks and puts you in limbo. normally animations are long enough and get extended to avoid the issue but pierce just does its own thing in animation timing.

Tana would easily be Number 1 and the thing is that this is not even optimized yet. Mounted Unit , great bases , great growths and a busted promotion is all Tana needs. Lute gets an early promotion on Chapter 6 at the start but Tana is insanely on just “kill boss or seize chapters” since she just bypass everyone and goes for the kill. Also , RNG affects a lot , for example my Tana at 20/20 already has cap STR , Skill , Speed and Luck on most of my average runs , only HP , DEF and Res are not cap.

@darkessinzero Жыл бұрын

Seeing that great Tana gave me a thought Would it be possible to manipulate the groth rates of the characters? I see a lot of Solo Pokemon challange runners that give their pokemon perfect or most beneficial IVs so they banish that from interfering with the consistancy and the luck factor. So Pokemon can be better compared with each other. So wouldn't it be a good idea to give the units a 100 % growth rate in everything so in the end you will compare perfects to perfects?

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

It would be possible to do that, but then, imo, it would rob each run of it's uniqueness. The units in Fire Emblem, unlike Pokemon, have caps tied to their class and gender and are not all unique. So a Tana and Vanessa run would be the exact same. A Forde, Franz, and Kyle run would have no differences at all. The growth factor is so important in making Fire Emblem unique that giving the opportunity for perfect stat would not give use runs that are as interesting as they would more or less feel the same. With that being said, it may interesting for a video to do a 'what is the best class to solo run with' using the idea that it gets 100% growths.

@@kratosmvn_ Oh I did not know that all of them have the same caps.

@MarkofWisdom Жыл бұрын

Hmm, Tana will struggle early game because of low hit rate against all the axe enemies, as well as her frail defense. Her low con also really doesn't help her with lances being fairly heavy. Some lucky early defense level ups will really help her survivability. Your level 20 tana was really nice, very good strength bonus, and on par defense means she's in good shape. For promotions-it's gotta be Wyvern Knight-that +4 constitution is incredible for Tana and Vanessa, and Pierce is absurd. Just gotta watch out for the the pierce glitch with ranged weapons. Though, personally I usually make Tana and Vanessa being falco knights for sword access as well as being able to use triangle attack for laughs, also to avoid the pierce glitch being possible since I've had it happen to me a few times and I like playing with animations on, so having a wyvern knight always runs the risk of the game freezing if they use ranged weapons that missing door key in ch 14-maybe Kyle was carrying it when he died? Lvl 20/20 Tana turned out great. I think the pierce animation glitch is because the pierce animation plays faster than the normal one, so if there isn't a counter animation to let the game catch up with the HP drop animation the game freezes up Pretty solid run from Tana, unfortunate loss of time/turns because of running out of javelins, but still pretty good overall. I think Tana is in spot 1 for now-if the turn count was closer between Tana and Artur maybe he'd be number 1 still, but 50+ turns better on Tana's part is way more meaningful than 30 minutes of real time which could be lost in various places. He did beat her because of having no resets though, so that is something he has over her

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah, her early was quite tough, but the luck was on our side overall. The missing door key was actually on Ephraim, I mean to bring it up, but fully forgot during the recording of the voice over. She really had a solid run so it's hard to knock her out of #1 spot especially given the turn count.

For the gorgon chapter, are the eggs pre-determined to hatch as a gorgon with stone or with the standard gorgon spell? If so, you could probably optimise that map, killing the eggs with the gorgon with stone. Although Tana had no issue, other characters can benefit from 1 or 2 less gorgons with stone.

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

I believe it is all pre-determined, but I think most hatch have stones and the ones that are naturally on the map don't all have it, but I'm not sure at all. It's not a bad idea to devise a plan around which spawns first to clear then out quickly.

@orthochronicity6428 Жыл бұрын

I think Tana should have the number 1 spot. Turns seems more important since a lot of time can be eaten up simply if there is a bunch of enemies that turn things into a slog. But a good unit wont be struggling in that case, it's just a matter of the enemies being a chore for them to deal with, which will be apparent in the turn count. (That argument may justify reordering Lute and Artur? BUT that is assuming it's just a matter of enemies and not other factors and I'd need to rewatch those runs to remember where the time discrepancy comes in.) Been watching an old/ongoing series of solo runs in Pokemon Red/Blue, and it's been... interesting... thinking about these two series in comparison. I'd normally say Fire Emblem is the harder game, but doing that one quickly is certainly it's own challenge. The real interesting thing is just how weird those games are (as in buggy and glitchy). People talk a lot about Fire Emblem and RNG, but geez, at least here it is working correctly and you can honestly say you're avoiding glitches/exploits, which is actually impossible in those first gen Pokemon games, strictly speaking. Sure does create some hurdles and change your entire strategic outlook in ways you just can't account for.

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah there are basically unavoidable glitches in the Gen 1 Pokemon games that makes Solo running without them harder than it should be. While you can certainly use exploits and quirks in game mechanics for FE (RNG manipulation, enemy control glitch., etc...) these tend to not happen by accident so avoiding using them is very easy.

@donaldmacfadzen-reid9752 Жыл бұрын

#1 without a doubt in my mind. Even among more recent fire emblem games, I've often given her the title of "the most dangerous woman in fire emblem". Course it helps that she has a god-wrecking skill, and sacred stones (even on hard mode) is probably the easiest fe game. The reason for the javelin crash is simple: it happens bcuz the enemies hp doesn't whittle down fast enough before the second strike connects. I've had a terrible experience with that crash when it happened on the second to last floor of the lagdou ruins and had the restart the whole thing.

I would argue Artur, because I always been of the opinion that we should rate the actual performance and not the what if scenarios. I mean Tana yeah she definitely could've been faster with javelins, but then who assures later chapters would go as smooth as they did, or you get bad luck etc etc...

Hey, it's best girl time! Anyways, I figured she'd suffer in the early game due to bad bulk and triangle disadvantage vs a bunch of axe bandits. Cheesing enemies from the mountains with a javelin is a great workaround though. Guessing she'll be great in the late game, since she's going to be very hard to touch and hits back surprisingly hard. Falcoknight and Wyvern Knight are both cool options, and she won't have to worry about things like slow desert movement or chasing down gorgon eggs.

I think it would be best if you separeted time and turns for each character, so this kind of stuff dosen't happens Preferable though, I don't think that Time & Turns isn't a good way to look at someone's perfomance, though I don't know of a better way

Not sure if you know this, but you can get an angelic robe by not letting any villages get destroyed in chapter 9. Doubt it'll help that much because Tana ended up capping anyways, but hey, extra HP is extra HP. And like for Kyle. 😭 Poor man Edit: I know you've done Franz already but it would be funny if Kyle got his solo run next. Poor man died four seconds after joining. Other than that, Tana is amazing and I love your videos :D

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I was aware, but it's never a possible situation with the solo runs, so it fully slipped my mind that maybe flyers could be the only ones to be able to do it. I'd love to do Kyle at some point and thank you I'm glad you enjoy the videos :D

@mateobonavento3939 Жыл бұрын

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was dreading the Pierce glitch. I know about a QoL patch that fixes it (the sole reason I got it), but it changes more things so I don't think I should recommend it for the remaining flier runs. If someone knows about a standalone fix I think it would be great to let Kratos know about it. Restarting because you made a mistake or got bad RNG is fine, but being forced to do it by a glitch is unfair. Wyvern Knights are OP like that, so it's no surprise seeing Tana take #1. I'd say Tana being 41 turns earlier is a bigger difference than those 30~ minutes of Artur, but it's still very close with these two. All of this is meaningless though because we all know who's going to be #1 when all is said and done... our boy Knoll of course!

Someone, already told me of a fix for that, thank you for the help though :P Yeah, Wyvern Knight is just sooo dominant. Imagine if Knoll were actually 1st... lol it would be the greatest comeback story of all time.

@bad_ill5626 Жыл бұрын

Pierce came in handy after all to compensate her lack of strength. Dude, in the last chapter, you forgot that tana doesn't need to fight the doggos. She can fly through the center of the map where both doggos can't attack her, although it will trigger wight reinforcement, which shouldn't be a problem. Idk if that strategy will save Elixir or not, though lol.

@kratosmvn_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I never go the middle route because it opens you up to Gorgon attacks earlier while fighting the reinforcements and usually the Gorgons are a bigger problem than in this run.

I don't know the super deep dive explanation but I believe what happens with the Pierce ranged glitch is that for some reason the animation doesn't wait for the HP gauge to finish depleting before continuing on to the next blow, and something about that makes the game hang. Could be that the game is now trying to wait for the HP gauge to deplete but it's not moving so nothing happens.

@kase6491 Жыл бұрын

Tana deserves #1. That is a whole 46 turns saved compare to lute's run. Not having a javelin costs more time than you think, especially on chapter 15 where there are multiple magic reinforcements, hand axe users, and those annoying rangers. R.I.P. Kyle :(

Tana was an excellent surprise, I prefer her over Vanessa and I really think she deserves the #1 spot above Artur! The turn count difference is huge and will be unmatched until we see someone duch as Cormag come in Now I wonder who will the first archer be in this series, between Neimi and Innes. I don't know if it's hard to downgrade Innes to a level 1 archer, also if it's fair or even necessary..

Can't wait to see if Cormga blows her time out of the water! So, for promoted units I'll do the run as they are initially because, imo, if you downgrade the levels you're essentially just playing another character. Their bases being high at first will just be a feature of the run!

Tana #1. I don't think the extra time from needing to redo a level due to a game freezing bug should penalize her, and she is Substantially lower in the turn count. If you have the data, a deaths column would be interesting to see as well.

Thanks for the feedback. Grabbing death count is a little trickier cause I would be 100% on me to properly keep track and sometimes I go on auto pilot with these runs and get dumb deaths that are not really representative of the character itself. So I'm hesitant to add deaths.
