Secret book doesn’t work on Gonzalez because he can’t read

Tatiana gets proper healer exp in Echoes. So she has a really easy time getting fortify and is thus pretty good.

Ronan death was so sad. He was born from a miracle of RNG and to be taken away forcefully like that was heartbreaking because we knew we'd never see such an amazing Ronan ever again.

What is this?! Mekkkah actually likes Fire Emblem?!

#2: Danved #1: Devdan

In this video, Mekkah talks about pitfalls that are fun to fall into

I agree with you the post game of fe8 is a little lonely

8:33 Fun fact: you can use the enemy control glitch in the first part of the final map to get a wretched air from one of the two draco zombies. Infinite 1-2 range and stat boosts! Edit: Added an explanation on how to do it in the comments

1- Tormod from Path of Radience, common guys the lad is a revolutionary at that age! You have to respect that. 2- Brom from Path of Radience, such a likeable fellow, it was so fun to watch him talking with Nephenee on how they weren't soldiers and that he didn't like to fight - even thought he was a general -, how he treated her like one of his daughters - it is really good to see a man and woman relationship that don't involve sex for once in a fire emblem game. 3- Gilliam from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, FE8 was my first Fire Emblem, I was 10 years old, never played any tactical game before and I didn't know english, Gilliam was basically my most important unit, just put him in front of every hit and finish everyone with the other units, I finished FE8 playing like this. 4- Donnel from Fire Emblem Awakening, I think it is the same reason to why I like Brom, just a likeable and courageous lad. Also it's really satisfying to watch him become a Hero. 5- Wil from Fire Emblem Blazing Sword, I really like archers and his dutiful personality just made me like him even more. 6- Rebecca from Fire Emblem Blazing Sword, yes, I really like archers, and she is just so chill. 7- Amelia from Fire Emblem Sacred Stones, I have fond memories of her, I think it was the first enemy character that I recruited and it was pure luck - I was about to kill her with Franz - and , even though I was a 10 years old, I made her a paladin. 8- Roy from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, because he is our boy.

I was surprised to see Lute on the list, but I can completely understand why she might not be one of the best units. However, I still choose to use Lute because I love how she snowballs out of control into a dangerous magic throwing machine. I also agree that Mage Knight is much better than Sage in the long run, although I still love the idea of making Lute a Sage and do that for every run, even though I know that Mage Knight is better, mainly because I love the idea of having a unit that has the capability to use every type of magic (Factoring in Enemy Control Glitch, anyways.)

About Tatiana - In Echoes she starts as a higher level iirc (I think she starts either as a Saint or right at promotion level), and she is the only cleric who gets Fortify in the game. You also get exp for healing in Echoes which makes her MUCH better.

Wait, Lute is bad? Well, then again, everyone is bad when you only need Seth, sooo...

"I'm so sadistic to myself, I torture myself" It's called masochism

I kinda feel the same with Lilina where I know she's not the best unit to try and train up to use but she's like the unofficial second lord of FE6 lol

11:21 mekkah likes mangs as a character

The #1 Bad Unit = Green Unit

Ronan is our savior.

*Forde* Ford For Fo F

I’m hoping and praying that Mangs will use Danved in Radiant Dawn

I love using sword masters. I know they're bad, but dodging and critting everything is just fun. Even when doubling and critting still isn't a kill.

I see Mekkah's taste in units is as stellar as my own. ' 3'

Play SoV if you ever get the chance

You like using Arden and Tailtiu too? ...did not think I'd ever hear that from you

One of the reasons why i like playing Fire Emblem is actualy using these bad units

Gonzales original barefoot waifu

"Worst characters list" *includes Arden and Gonzalez* yeah sure okay insult the gods like that

"Use Briggid as a wall" Welcome to the fold of Sniper Choking, Mekkah.

Glad Arden is finally getting his due: he is the MVP of my HTC runs.

Gonzalez is the GOAT. Give him a secret book and he’ll take out everyone in his way

Tatiana is actually really useful in Echoes

Myrrh is considered bad? She can one-round anything that isn’t the final boss once you’ve burned less than half of that dragonstone.

Is that arden? Anyway, what you described in the beginning are sometimes called, "Guilty Pleasure" Units.

I’ve always loved Arden! Big silly lovable big guy! He was one of the only unit videos I ever made back when I played FEH

So can we consider this list as oficial W.A.I.F.U. material list?

I've actually used Radd quite a lot, even before Mekkkah and Mangs ascended him into meme status. I usually reclass him to cavalier so he gets an insane 30% DEF growth and after a while he grows into a decent dracoknight. But the real reason I like Radd is because he is rad. Radd is a rad mad lad.

Nice list, some of mine are Dorcas and Bartre, Wallace, basically all trainees, Brom and Say’ri. They may not all be bad but I normally find them outclassed.

I love Edward from Radiant Dawn. I know he's meh at best but goddamn Wrath is so much fun to mess around with. I always end up giving him a wind edge and then let him be a better Leonardo. I'm even using him on hard mode right now. He literally gets 1shot by some of the Part 3/6 tigers, but fuck it. Crit machine Eddy is here to stay being the best wind(edge) mage ever.

I love the Dawn Brigade formers, Sothe Micaiah Leonardo Especially Nolan and Edward

Do more lists like this! A few ideas include: your favorite/least favorite FE games and why, favorite/least favorite maps, most overrated units, least favorite units, and overrated classes.

I remember when playing Radiant Dawn for the first time when I was young on easy I think it was, I couldnt beat the first chapter of part 4, so on one Reset I dumped all of my BEXP into Fiona and Meg since I thought maybe leveling those two up would help me, and they did, so much so I think I actually kept Fiona on my squad since she actually did quite a bit in that chapter. And ever since I've been using Fiona on pretty much all of my hard mode runs, even though I know shes pretty bad

> sees Tailtyu in the list Who knew Mekkah had such good taste Also, I like using Lilina for the same reason people love Lute. High magic, but near non-existent durability. To her credit, Binding Blade is more PP oriented unlike Sacred Stones and Blazing Sword, which is more EP heavy. Unfortunately, she's kinda competing against Lugh, who joins much much earlier. Also Guiding Rings are scarce, just like all other promotion items in the game. But I still love using her despite all her issues cause player phase glass cannons are always fun to use.

My favorite bad unit is Jamke; being able to one-round nearly every enemy is one hell of a drug, and Midir was very soft-spoken, didn't deal as much damage, and overall felt less satisfying. Of course, being a footlocked Archer in Genealogy is also one hell of a drug; the kind that gives you horrific hallucinations. But he's still someone I love to use.

I watched the Ronan death video right after this one. I wasn’t ready for actual feels, Mekkah i wasn’t ready

I LOVE Amelia when I can make her a super recruit. I think her sprite is very cute. As a kid it was all about the coolest or cutest characters, same with what pokemon I liked using. Even now, though, I'll use the characters I think are cutest regardless of how good they are.

Something that I never knew I wanted. I'm excited.

I wouldn't really say Tatiana is bad per say, because Fortify is pretty useful late in the game, as well as Thabes. I do enjoy using Tailtu, Myrhh, and Gonzales tho. My personal favorite "bad units" are Patty, Subaki, Olwen, and Python (in no particular order)

I usually don't like Ests but Pelleas is one of my favorites to use in radiant dawn. Elincia/Tibarn's sections of part 4 is basically made for training underleveled scrubs, betwy Mercy, the infinite laguz, and the fact tibarn doesn't need help to route maps, so it doesn't cost much, and it's an easier way to get fenrir than Lehran

I like that in a regular run of Fire Emblem (aka not LTC, HHM 5-star or other highest difficulties), it doesn't really matter all that much which units you use and you can throw rankings out of the window and just have fun. I find rankings interesting because they can show me the potential a unit has, but they don't stop me from loving the feeling of holding off an approaching army with a wall of metal that generals tend to be.

As in Echoes healers got exp the exact same way all the other units, that becomes Tatyana a lot more efficient to use, but I know that in Gaiden healers are a pain to train and use. Also, I love Danved/Devdan, and Im' pretty sure he is based on a certain comedian/actor from Mexico, because they look VERY similar, even his ending in Radiant Dawn suggests that he becomes a some kind of traveling comedian that makes people laugh. And I think they are the same person and he's just playing a character, acting like he's just another person,like a comedy actor. Everytime I play FE4 I try to make Arden good, but it never turns out well, he could have a lot of potential. Really fun content Mekkkah, keep it up!

Aka, Mekkah's "I can have fun too" video. Great video though!

I really enjoy when you talk about certain units, since it's not like "Rebecca is a great unit, she dodged everything for me!", but more like you really know what you're saying!

I always use Lute on SS as a Sage, I may be stubburn, but I love her. It also applies to Ilyana and I would like to watch a video about why is she not that good

Gonzalaes efectiveness depends a lot in which route you get him. If he joins your army with lvl 5 he has a lot of room to grow. Also, his bad skill is compensated by his other atributes. In my playthrough he managed to kill 7 enemies (1 of them a promoted) in a row with an iron axe in a specilly epic moment. By they way, anyone else think there should a firearm user class in a future game?

Nice list, I often use these units as well because of fun niches they fill (except Danved, he's quirky but pretty useless). I'll add in that Lilina on normal mode of FE6 is pretty easy to train up quickly, has a quick Roy support, and can nuke hordes of wyverns while standing on a mountain with Gonzo support from a peak near her in Chapter 21, so she's my pick and maybe shouldn't even be called bad.

As somebody who literally only does bad character runs, this list is decent. Your Arden gen 1 solo story made my head hurt. That's dedication bro. Some of my masochistic favourites (one per game played) to get to the end game are: Lewyn< Coirpre in fe4 (1 of 3 children that can inherit the best magic in the game, but he shows up Hella late, underleveled and unable to use said magic before promotion), any axe fighter in fe6 (Lot, Geese or Gonzalez are the best of the bunch, good luck getting Bartre, Ward or Garret enough skill to hit literally anything), not really any bad characters in fe7 casual, Super recruit Ewan in sacred stones, that Silver tongued philanderer Bastian in Path of Radiance (just used all my resources capping him for a Radiant Dawn transfer...why am I like this?), Fiona in Radiant Dawn ( Magic wielding paladin is certainly novel enough, and Meg is too masochistic even for me). Fates with reclassing means there are no real duds, and awakening masochism basically comes down to not using Frederick on Maniac.

Gonzales + Treck is the best support Bad unit I love to use though, Tate. I arena train her in 11A because it's there and I take the chapter slowly after recruiting her and Klein anyway and I can promote her right after getting the Elysian Whip from her subordinates. Plus I love her HM bonuses, most recent play through I actually got S rank swords in Chapter 24 from spamming so much Wyvern Slayer. Falco Knights are my favorite class and her support with Alan is so cute, I don't care if she's considered bad she's my favorite FE unit period.

My favorite ”Bad” unit to ise is probably Rolf from the Tellius games. He just kept getting really good stat levelups and ended up capping his speed in the final chapters of PoR

I use Odin in Fates as a Dark Flier and I usually give him all of the stat boosters.

I was a bit scared when i saw the Title and the Thumbnail because Gonzi is my fav. Unit in the series. I like using him, I like his design and I like his Character. And I like him because on my last FE6 Playthrough (really slow one) leveled Skill 9 times so yeah... that was amazing.

I really like using Nyx in Fates. Even though I normally hate using units with accuracy issues, I also like having a fast mage on the team, and Nyx is one of the few early options you have.

I'm a huge advocate for Wil and Rebecca. They were the stars of my first FE7 playthrough and they've been close to my heart ever since, especially Wil. I was such a noob back then that I had Rebecca solo the Dragon since she was the only one fast and strong enough (capped STR and SPD). That A support she had with Wil really helped. I also really love Patty (as you can see from my avi). Last playthrough I had I paired Noish with Briggid, and the result was incredible: i.imgur.com/vBBbLPy.png She's very useful for thief utility, but I enjoy raising her up and seeing her decimate everything she can reach in the lategame.

Yeah, I discovered that the hit calculation happened before the crit in Conquest, where I had a 100% crit Charlotte with 40~50% hit rate. The crit animation would only start if it would hit, otherwise it would just do a regular attack animation and miss. idk how the other FEs work, but I would guess it's the same for most, if not all of them.

Tailtiu has some fun things to play with. I accept that as a fanboy I have an extremely biased view but thank you, so many people just throw her to the mother farm and not recognize how fun she is

Whenever Gonzalez crits the enemy gets Thanos'ed

Magic-based Cecille in FE12. She's not very optimal for LTC, but she's useful backup to Marisha and Yumina, since she joins earlier and has a better Speed and Magic growth than Linde. Usually, all you have to do is tech to Cavalier on occasion to get her HP and Def to move, and you can lady Sage trio all through endgame.

Ronan also got a movement level up in his first level when I did chapter 2 Thracia the very first time. I guess I’ll have to use him now for Mekkah.

A little late to the party but i'd like to mention Lilina has carried multiple runs of binding blade for me. She always becomes a dodge tanking powerhouse after a little bit of archer farming on the chapter she joins. So satisfying to use.

I like using Lilina when I play FE6 and Delthea when I play Echoes I also do like using Myrmidons, and a lot of the FE4 foot units

I agree with you on the post games, with fe13 and fe8 whenever I reopen the save file I feel like I’m not supposed to be there

I like using Odin Dark because as Owain he was one of my favorite Awakening characters. But it's really a rock and a hard place with him. His Mag isn't really all that good, so keeping him as a dark mage is gonna make him fall behind hard (especially since Nyx joins only 1 chapter later on Conquest). He is fairly good as a Samurai, but then you have to first use a heart seal to reclass him and then he doesn't really start to bare fangs before his swords go to rank D since his personal skill is crit based and bronze weapons can't crit for stupid reasons, and at that point it's just too much investment to be practical since you have to babysit him to keep him alive until that point (heck, for all it's worth, Mozu is easier to train since you can make her an archer and the map she joins on is a really good spot to train her as that class and babysitting her gives a way larger payoff than babysitting Odin does). But even though he's kinda bad, I like using him anyways.

Mekkah why are you on the list?

I really like using Lute and Lilina, and other similar units. Sure, they need babying you need to feed them kills at first, but they quickly snowball into an atomic bomb that can one-shot nearly everything. It's super fun.

My biggest guilty pleasure unit is Noish. He's not terrible, but he's pretty unspectacular. But he's my favorite father for Larcei and Ulster and he's actually a surprisingly good dad for Fee and Ced. On top of that, with either the Brave Sword or the Pursuit Band, he goes from being a stocky, but ineffectual unit to a pretty good unit.

I don't know how Lute ended up on this list, she's the only unit you get who can potentially hit 30 magic, the strongest magical powerhouse in FE8 lol

I always use barth no matter what, I'll only stop using him if he naturally caps res

I recognize that Lance! All of Devdan’s Characteristics are good!

On my so far unfinished first Thracia run Dashin got two Mov levels. I'm fairly certain that now makes him the most mobile indoor unit in the game, and he's not too terrible at capturing people (especially big fat armors indoors). So yeah, Imma keep using him now.

Honestly, my Tatiana on Gaiden just died in one of the Dragon Assaults on Alm. And Silque died a bit later, I think. So I had to go through the final chapter just with Jenny. Or Genny, whatever. Man, that last chapter was really good. I remember my Baron Gray doubled the stupid eyeballs (I cycled through the Merc line, back to villager and to Baron and he had 22 speed) , Celica had JUST learned Ragnarok and was struggling to hit Duma, along with Zeke and Gradivius, it was so freaking good.

I love to use Rolf in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Ever since my first PoR run I grew really fond of him. One time for example he had more defense than Gatrie in PoR and in Radiant Dawn I tend to sometimes beat up the Black Knight with him, which I think is just damn hillarious. 😂😂

the only ones that immediately come to mind are rinkah and rhys, i just like them so much that i overlook their flaws in comparison to other units and will use them regardless

I've had fun with Dolph in FE11. In my FE11 H2 Run, Est was the key to beating Medeus because he's nearly as strong as H5 Medeus (29 Str/Spd in H2 vs 30 Str/Spd in H5) I used Abel and Roshea together in my most recent FE12 run. I want to use Vyland some time. Man Archanea has so many bad but fun units.

"i like this unit because it grows nice" wait, what

Aww, I wanted to see a highlight reel for Ronan!

Even though I don’t think he’s as bad as people say he is I love using Boey in echoes he always turns amazing whenever I use not to mention I love his character so that’s probably my favorite “bad unit” And Nino of course

I also love using Arden and Tailtiu, as well as Marisa and Amelia in FE8, Nino in FE7, and Sophia in FE6.

I love using nieme her bases are as close to garbage as it can be, but with a few levels and the early promotion she is a lot of fun to use

Ilyana, forever and always. A shiny blue Rexbolt on dragons is very satisfying for me lol.

I really love your point of view in this video, many scrubs see you as this cold blooded elitist, but this video shows that you, like the rest of us enjoy bad units.

On Sacred stones, the only two bad units that I enjoy using and having on my team are Ross and L'arachel. Ross: At first when I start playing Sacred stones, I thought he was trash and had no place on my team, but then when I learn more about him and class, he got potential in my eyes. Not only that, but his personally remains me one of the anime characters with great determination and will power which I like to see in characters. Still not good and needs investment, but he's worth it and I feel very satisfied using him as my main axe user. L'arachel: Great supports, good personally, funny, and should had been the main character instead of Eirika even though I like her. Pain to train up, but worth it and like to make her busted because it feels so good to use her.

Well my Tatianna grew so amazing, that she could heal the whole field on any maps and packed quite the punch

Tatianna in Gaiden/Echoes is the only character with Fortify, which I think makes her a really good unit even though she joins really late. I like Lute a lot as well and I think she is a good unit as well because Mage Knight exist. Mage Knight is so good and even makes L'Arachel easily usable despite her late join time. Elincia in PoR is one of my favorite characters and units even though her base stats are low and late join time but I always field her. In RD, her strength falls off so she is basically useless but I always bring her to the tower just because I really like her and she is a good enough staff user.~

gonzales is good even with his low skill i still remember in chapter 13 at level 8 he just murdered one of the two reinforcements alone with a halberd and like 39 hit

Units I like to use include boey, edward, sigrun, Hicks, Radd, fe 15 est, Marisa, Garret, Ricken, Tiki, Kagero, and Macellan, just to name a few.

Does Sanaki count? If so she's probably my favorite to use I also have an affinity for archers so I always use Rebecca and Neimi lol

The characters I use that are typically considered bad are Knoll, Oswin, Donnel, Ewan, Azama, Wil, Kellam, and Xane

My unoptimal unit I like using is Stefan. Swordlock and terrible luck and iffy defense, but Astra, crit bonus, and stupid Str/Skl/Spd make him pretty fun.

xXLOOTXx has joined the lobby. Also Mage Knights are awesome.

I’d like to see a video on “good” units you dislike using, or that just aren’t fun. An example for me would be Ricken. I know he’s supposedly the best mage in Awakening and all that, but between him and Miriel I have way more fun with her. Her supports always have me laughing, and she can be decent on the battlefield, especially when she’s got the bonuses from supports. Objectively she isn’t all that good, and would probably be classified as a bad unit, but I have little tolerance for the “I’m an adult” 12 year old boy trope, and she’s just too funny (see her supports with Stahl and Lon’qu)

Ah, still remember how much Danved carried me in the fe10 chapters that he was in.

I think I’ve used Natasha against the druid reinforcements in Chapter 17 at least once. I’ve also used Eirika against the Cyclops enemies in Chapter 20. I think I’ve liked using Myrrh in Chapter 20 and the final chapter. I think I’ve used Lute to do most of Chapter 6 before, but more recently, I’ve used Seth to do that chapter.
