Exhaustive Strike has exactly one use case: use it with a full-durability Steel Axe+ to let Caspar, depending on his stats, one-shot the Death Knight on his and Mercedes's paralogue. Of course, then you have to have Mercedes drag him out of the range of the wolf in the corner so he doesn't get nuked, but this does get you access to the Scythe of Sariel. So bottom of C-tier is probably a good place for it: the only thing it's good for is getting you access to a nice A-rank lance.

What isn't discused about Bane of Monsters is that stuns monster with a single blow. So it's a skill that makes obtaining ores a high tier skill. It's not a skill that you should equip for every map for obvious reasons, but on monster maps particularly for obtaining Mythril is particularly useful. While it's not always useful, having the ores ores to repair some of the best weapons in the game allows you to use those weapons on every map. And the fact that you can unequip it for a more useful combat art on those maps when not useful is nice.

Swap is really good at helping Catherine _replace_ units like grappler's and vengeance users from facing any melee hits and to help move her forward with lower move stats, but generally high enough speed and avoid/prot combo to sit in-front of a pair of enemies, maybe killing them with a rally speed, speed+2 or just innately at times.

How about a weapon tier list? Like a bit of detail on how useful they are, and how they compare. While admittedly there would not be a lot to say about many of them, but going into how good each relic is, and some of the interesting regular weapons could be good. We can also hear about some forged weapons and rusty weapons. I dunno I personally think it could be interesting XD

48:45 - Tempest Lance with horseslayer+ does 32 damage plus str, battlion bonus, etc. Silver Lance+ with Knightkneeler does 33. So technically, Knightkneeler can do more damage if you use a silver lance+. Without the + it would do 31 damage. Either way, it's only 1 damage. A better question is the opportunity cost of a combat art slot and freedom to use the same weapon vs various kinds of enemies (not all mounted) worth more than the opportunity cost of repairing a dedicated weapon and being able to hit mounted harder on enemy phase as well as double. This would be a cool discussion or topic to do a video on in general. Please share your thoughts.

@dddmemaybe Жыл бұрын

If you want to burn charges(5/30), warmaster's strike with the Devil Axe+(only 60 hit) is +30 hit and a total of 48 weapon might, 14 more might (and 15 more hit) than clicking exhaustive strike with a forged steel axe+; with quick riposte to save your ass on the weight. Repairing it outside of the black eagles house, where both the Caspar's paralogue's super lance and the amyr- using a different forging material than typical, you'll really struggle to find anything else meaningful to use the argarthium on imo. a warmaster can really decently dual phase with this when necessary.

9:00 Rather give Catherine darting blow than brawling rank tbh. It's a lot more _pliable_ to be capable of doubling for _more_ constant damage(like a silver sword+) than having to rely on a ~60% kill chance(over 2hits) or _another_ brave weapon access when she can already use a decent power Astra, brave sword or a bow, if enemy retaliation is bad. She will also fly now.

@thescarredraven2634 Жыл бұрын

Hi! Good list, some minor things to point out 1) Curved should be at the top of S tier, and is the best combat art in the game period based on pure distribution and it’s impact in the early game is without parallel. People often talk about how Bernie can OHKO with Vengeance but it isn’t to be underestimated how much she can chip with Curved Shot. On top of that it proved 30 which is crucial in the early game for reliability as well as +1 range for tactical flexibility so you position your units. Also all OOH recruited fighters will come with it. 2) Hexblade and Lightning Axe should both be moved down to around bottom of A because they don’t provide much for their users and they are late-ish, around chapter 5 is when you’ll get it only if you specifically grind for it, which is definitely ill advised, and it might be better to just get more healing or authority since tutoring is a limited resource. 3) One Two Punch should be up in A because of how useful it is. Base Alois can ORKO non CF chapter 14 enemies with just Silver Gauntlets(he can use at base) and it’s honestly really good for it’s second effect, for Dedue in the early game

@AkameGaKillfan777 Жыл бұрын

I'd still have Curved Shot in A because it mostly just chips, not kills. I'd move just Lightning Axe down to A because 2 units that get it have crap resistance.

@thescarredraven2634 Жыл бұрын

@@AkameGaKillfan777 Curved shot is so easy to get and is accessible on every one. Most combat arts won’t be enough to kill until late game but because of how much mileage you’re getting out of it early on, it cant be underestimated. In fact it is the only bow combat art that is available to everyone besides Hunters Volley which is Sniper only. Lightning Axe is super niche because it doesn’t do anything for Sylvain or Edelgard and Annette has too many benchmarks to reach for her to try to get to C+ axes

Fierce iron fist only holds grapplers back in my experience, they hit 4 times and you use 5 durability to make them hit 3 times? I don't see any practical use for the move except to set up kills on monsters Hunters's volley is good but not busted, the might is minimal and archers don't struggle with hitting and doubeling anemies often

@JonoabboFE Жыл бұрын

Grapplers are not doubling most enemies on maddening - especially since they can't get Darting Blow.

@dennisleonardo2992 Жыл бұрын

Remember that the performance of combat arts on hard or normal is extremely different from their performance on maddening because enemies on maddening have much higher attack speed and as a result, don't get doubled by your units often. Judging them based on normal or hard would definitely change their placements a lot. But on maddening, barely any of your units can double enemies consistently

@rhettmitchell Жыл бұрын

Grapplers aren’t really gonna be quadding in maddening. Unless it’s maybe Felix or Yuri, but the kind of units you wanna use fierce iron fist on are gonna be assassins, swordmasters, and falcons, which no one is going to be doubling

There's also the fact that those 3 hits all happen before the enemy can attack. The only way 4 hits can be better is if you make an Avoid Tank with Prowess lvl 5, Brawl Avo +20 and Duelist's Blow, or Desperation.

So it does less damage than a regular crit without astra, which is 300% damage? Or you could just use a brave sword, which is 200% damage even if you don't double. Or FIF, which is 300% damage, or HV, which is 200%... etc etc.

@@rose.i I really, really, don't see why you would ever click Astra over just hitting with a brave sword, thunderbrand or gauntlets, let alone other combat art options. It's not that it can't kill things, it's that whatever it does kill can almost always be killed by a lower cost option that doesn't require being locked in a poor class. You would have to crit 5 times to get more damage from Astra than Hunters Volley critting once, and the latter can be used from 4 tiles away, rather than requiring adjacency, and is also on a higher damage weapon type, with effective damage. Being one range whilst locked to a 5 move class is super harmful too, especially compared to something like FIF which is on a 6 move class with forestwalking, or again HV thanks to it's range. Even as a kill tool, it's use case limitations are severely hindered by this. I am currently using Astra in the current stream playthrough and it's... basically pointless and just a meme - and this is on a kinda stacked Felix who was also given the Boots to help compensate for the classes movement issues.
