"I don't grab chests in this one because I don't have a thief" Ashe: *why are we here?*

Great knight Mercie is the most cursed thing I think I may have ever seen

"HEAL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"

In my very first playthrough I didn’t know what to do with Flayn because I didn’t need another healer, so I decided to go full meme and make her an armour knight. She ended up as one of my best units. If you get her the axe that pulls off her magic stat, she hits/crits like a madman. And with her naturally high res growth and her class’s high def growth, she’s a perfect all around tank.

I think this time you made Dimitri go crazy...

SYLVAIN GOAT My boy still killing it as an archer 😌 Btw it's so funny to see Mercedes as an armor knight. I was thinking that maybe she actually works in that class but apparently her low defense doesn't help. You did an amazing job with this video. I'm in my first playthrough of Azure Moon rn and I can't believe how you made it with THIS team. It's great

Great Knight Mercie. Great Knight Mercie.

One challenge i plan to do again soon is the "RNG decides my builds" challenge, or what you might call a hardcore Pokemon Nuzlocke, but for Fire Emblem... The main idea is pretty simple: For every character you get, they can ONLY ever be trained in a maximum of two skills, decided by an RNG as soon as you get them. So if you get say Lance and Faith on Claude, that's the only two skills you can activly train them in during class and activities. If one of the skills is particularly useless, you are allowed to focus on just one of the two, but you can't trade the discarded one for another, only discard it outright. Byleth must be focused on just Faith throughout the game to avoid letting them carry the squad on offense. Additional rules i use include: Only one weapon on a character per mission (if RNG gave you a weapon skill like Swords or Axes, it MUST be a weapon from that skill), and magic users can't have weapons at all. I MUST use the characters who are the lowest level, regardles of their helpfulness in the actual mission. Hero's Relics are banned. Divine Pulses are banned. NO savescumming (you live and die with every choice you make!), and the house you must lead is also decided by RNG. For extra fun, i also flip a coin when i have a choice in dialogue! Combat and missions are free from there, but like in a pokemon Nuzlocke, a full partywipe means that you MUST start the challenge over from the beginning! Obviously, this isn't really a challenge for Maddening, but on Hard/Classic, this is one of the most stressful but rewarding challenges i have finished, and it took me 82 attempts to finally beat it, and i only had three characters left by the end (which sadly didn't include my chosen waifu... RIP Mercedes!)

A little bit ago I did a different version of this challenge. While also limiting class options, I only allowed characters to use weapon types they were weak in (excluding authority). This made characters with no weaknesses completely useless, so Byleth’s only utility was the convoy. Really fun run to do, glad to see something similar.

Unironically Mercie as a great knight isn't completely troll because of her high res and the base defense of the great knight class, she can tank against some of the magic bosses decently well because of her res, I'm not saying it's good but it's definitely fun.

I had this idea and was curious if anyone already did it. It looks really fun, so I’m definitely going to do it on my next playthrough.

Creaking Skull

Good video! The quality was so high that I was shocked when I saw the view count halfway through. Definitely an underrated channel!

A fun challenge video. I think that you are right about difficulty scaling but why wouldn’t you want a super challenging final boss. This reminds me of the final section of radiant dawn where all the enemies are roided

I did this playthrough last year with maximum recruits and it was super fun! Assassin Mercedes and Warrior Marianne were my stand outs!

23:15 Ah, yes, the three routes in Three Houses: Azure Dawn, Verdant Wind, and Crimson... Eagles. (Good vid, I just found this slip-up very amusing)

Oh god.... the most cursed thing ever... unoptimized stats

Bro underrated i started fe3h in february for my birthday since ive wanted to play it for a while and i cant put down the switch for 2 seconds this is pure talent- you should do a solo run id like to see this +1 sub!

I’m currently doing a Blue Lions New Game Hard Classic challenge run, where I’m only allowed to use weapons, combat arts, abilities, and classes that are each character’s bane and only training students in their bane as well. So I am only using Byleth has an unequipped bait to trigger enemies to attack, since Byleth doesn’t have any banes. This means that awesome units like Leonie, Ingrid, and Ferdinand are off limits. And all non-native magic users like Dedue were also like Byleth in the beginning, just there to get hit until they could get enough training to get spells like heal, nosferatu…The first map, I just swapped weapons between the three house leads from the get go to match their banes. The second map was very difficult and I had to restart it like 5 times (since no one had any weapon/magic proficiency that I could use, since no one had enough training/experience in their bane and I kept encountering low level crit that destroyed most of my students). I’m hoping to see if I can complete the run, since Byleth is functionally remaining at level 1, since they don’t initiate any combat. If you have any recommendations on how to defeat death knight, I’d love to hear it. I haven’t figured it out yet.

Lol I literally just did this exact thing with Crimson Flower! Everyone had to use their weakness, like Constance and Mercedes had Axe, Lysenthia used Lance, Ingrid has Faith, etc. It ended up not being difficult on Hard Mode, Classic, with the second to the last battle taking only 5 tries and the last one taking 2 damage. On NG BTW

Wait you can route all the enemies in that one death knight chapter? I really messed up cause I had to use a lot of divine pluses because yeah xd anyway nice job on the video I hope you start getting more subs uwu

Funniest thing is dedues weakest class is armor knight. The man's guaranteed defense growths... So there's zero reason to class him as an armor knight. (600 hours of maddening gameplay.... Priest Dimitri is honestly a lot of fun growth wise)

A golden deer run could also be fun

I thought you meant starting classes so I was confused when your army wasn't made of commoners

31:20 in AM, you get the Sword of Moralta by talking to Rodrigue with Byleth

I wanna give some advice for future videos if you don’t mind :D. You are giving a breakdown on alot of the games features such as divine pulses and battalions, when most people clicked on the video for the run, not a rundown of the game. But great idea :)

What are their best classes though? Im struggling

Felix is not the best example since his bane in Reason becomes a boon but I love this kind of thing.

This seems like a fun challenge! I might try it out myself on maddening and see how far I can get

I was going to do this play through

Having Mercedes kill the death knight is so sad, their poor broken family

2yrs late still entertaining

Why not let Ashe take care of the chests? Isn't his personal skill Locktouch?

I'm gonna do this challenge in my own copy of three houses on all routes. Not with Anna tho, I don't have the dlc

Before watching, I'm predicting yes. Because it's 3H

Do you take requests, I have a challenge i tried in raident dawn i can't beat

omg i did this once in BE! a lot of my units ended up being mages unfortunately jdnzn

Why did you not get Ferdinand and Raphael even though your weee training heavy armor

I haven’t gotten past the first few minutes but if demitre or Dedue aren’t changed into dancer I will be so disappointed

I think Felix should've been Holy Knight since he has a budding talent in Reason that becomes his strength, but oh well.

Personally prefer Sniper over Bow Knight due to the Class Skill having massive range and damage.

I hope I remember to come back to this video because I love challenge videos but I haven’t done blue lion route I’m currently on side with church black eagles then doing blue lion new game + maddening

I’m just sitting here with brawler lysithea, meme builds are my favorite.

The characters you listed don’t use dark magic but instead use black magic, which are two different things in this game

More of this video type this is quality content, but why one of the weakest entries in the Fire Emblem series? Couldn't go Path Of Radiance, FE12, FE14 Conquest, Radiant Dawn, FE7\8\4\5?
