Meanwhile Silas: *I am great in all three routes and I know it*

I think rev mozu is closer to birthright than conquest but you can easily train her in the ice map if you want

I actually think Rev Mozu is great. At least for the early chapters. By the time you reach her paralogue most of your units (4 lol) are already pretty high level because chapter 7 is meant for that. As a result her paralogue offers only pretty much support rank grinds because the exp will be minimal compared to other routes. This makes her the perfect level to train her. Bring a bronze bow and a heart seal (which you get a lot of in rev) and feed every kill to her. She'll be amazing for chapter 8 if you managed to level her bow rank up and levels a bit. She'll probably get quick draw in chapter 8 as well making her your best player phase unit on this map. Considering you can only bring 4 units there I usually replace Gunther with her as Gunter barely does anything at this point. He isn't bulky enough to survive compared to Dragonstone Corrin. He isnt fast and strong enough to one round most ennemies amd doesn't have any supports to build. edit: she is also a great unit in the following 4 chapters especially the Ninja one. her strengths are heightened because almost every single unit in rev comes underleveled basically useless aside from royals and a few exceptions.

archer mozu is pretty good in rev, fliers are king in rev and mozu having access to a flying class (kinshi knight) with only 1 heart seal is pretty good, reina is also another fantastic flier unit you get for free but having 2 is better than 1

Yeah, I am running a kinshi mozu in my current rev run, she does more damage with a silver bow and often also surefire bow than kinshi takumi at the same level can manage with his fujin yumi. It definitely requires a bit of effort to train her at first, but she gets quite strong.@@toade336

I wonder why you haven't heard discussion of rev

I am under the impression that Rhajat just needs more reliable hits and defense, no? Or is the Life and Death on top of Rhajat’s passive what you mean?

Oni Chieftain Mozu!Rhajat seems pretty good!

The main benefit of leaving enemies at 1 HP is to allow her to get kills on enemy phase in addition to the one you'll be feeding her each player phase which allows you to finish the map within a reasonable turn count. One of my previous videos is a demonstration of how to raise both Hayato and Mozu to Level 5 while clearing the map in 11 turns, and doing that without leaving enemies at 1 or 3 HP would slow down the pace of that map to a crawl. And none of the top players on this channel is ever saying anything about Birthright is difficult, more just a waste of time.

I had never thought about it but honestly I need to do this next time I replay birthright

> "In CQ there's plenty of chapters that enable Bows to Enemy Phase" Unfortunetly this is not CQ and later BR makes these chapters much much rarer, the majority of maps in Birthright are a lot more wide open, and when there are walls they're usually 2 or 3 tiles thick unlike the tiny 1 tile wide walls that CQ uses to let you bow EP over them, Birthright enemy placements also usually have enemies lined up horizontally or vertically rather than diagonally like CQ does, so having overlapping 2 range enemies with 1-2 range enemies is much rarer than in CQ Right around Takumi's join time BR does have a lot more positions where enemies overlap or there are 1 tile thick walls, (My personal theory is that this was intentional by the devs to make Takumi look better than he really is) but starting from C14 onwards those oppurtunities basically just completely disappear and the maps become more of the typical heavily open BR maps that heavily hurt bowlocked units As for enemy types, yes lategame Bow Knights are almost always packing a sword and then are positioned in such a way that you can't stand at the exact edge of all of their ranges at once, adventurers are incredibly rare outside of Shura's map and Outlaws are so incredibly frail that the Bow's ability to double them on EP isn't an advantage when a lance/sword/axe can just OHKO them with the Javelin/Kodachi/Throwing Club That's not to say that Bow enemy phase is entirely hopeless, you can if you put your mind to it find ways to do it, but it usually involves taking empty attacks and using those enemies to create your own walls to begin sweeping behind, but it is almost always more resource intensive to pull off than using 1-2 range or even 1 range despite the higher stats of Yumis compared to Daggers.

I'm not really that experienced in BR or Fates in general, but Kitsune's focus on not much other than skill, speed, and luck means that low damage and mediocre survivability is all Kaden really has. His skills are pretty mediocre too, and his child is just as meh as he is. I think it's more about usability than anything; in a route filled with high skill/speed/resistance characters, he comes out to be the one with the least niches. He's okay, usable even, but doesn't fill any really important role.

I feel like the problem with the kodachi is that a lot of sword users in Birthright are fast and on the more fragile side, so not being able to double with it equipped cam prove to be more of a hindrance than a help. Even a more bulky unit that uses swords like Silas has had a lot of players warming up to the idea of using him as a master ninja, which is much more fragile than the paladin or great knight. The reason why Ryoma is able to make up for this shortcoming is because his Raijinto doesn't take away doubling and the like while being 1-2 ranged

mozu useless mozu bad

@@badatlife HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS

Funny thing is, Donnel is generally considered bad anyway. His bases are utterly laughable (every non-HP stat except Luck at 4 or less is really bad, especially when the chapter immediately after has only 6 slots, with wyverns in the chapter after that. Long story short, Donnel needs copious grinding to be usable... but unlike Amelia, Ross or Ewan, he doesn't level up any faster than anyone else (to put things into perspective, Ross, Ewan and Amelia get *at least* the same experience for DAMAGING an enemy as Donnel gets for KILLING one). This means he needs to try to get 9 levels worth of kills with bottom grade base stats, just to leave Villager (with the use of a valuable Second Seal)... and even then, it still isn't smooth sailing for him.

@@user-wl5jt7vz2u Tbf, when he's good, he's good, especially to a new player who doesn't understand more advanced character building. Most players who don't know anything about FE and then spend their time training up Donnel end up accidentally turning him into an absolute monster.

Yeah archers aren't really needed in BR because it's so enemy phase-focused, but even if you want to use one Takumi has the same generalist stat spread as Mozu, and an amazing personal bow. And then the villager class line just isn't good (by itself), not to mention as you said you already have a good foot-locked lance user. CQ also has the unique thing that the big climax for the earlygame is chapter 10, which has lots of fliers for a Bowzu to shoot down for free exp. Even on Lunatic, a level 1 Archer!Mozu with a Bronze Bow +2 is still capable of one-shotting all of the fliers (exact damage!), so despite taking a heart seal she is pretty low investment to carry her weight in a chapter many people consider very hard. And this also happily gets her out of the earlygame rut which she's so badly stuck in for BR.
