"My Lysithia has 25 strength." EXCUSE ME?

After how many times i force byleth to share a meal with people, im pretty sure im gonna need weight -15 at minimum

Idk wtf you did to Lysithea, but she's literally the LAST character you should be performing insane experiments on.

"For example, my Lysithea has exactly 25 strength." There's something wrong with this sentence, but I can't put my finger on what it is... in any case, I came to a similar conclusion, but more intuitively, so it only reinforces my thoughts to have it elaborated on.

bro wtf is that lysithea

thank you chaz you've inspired me to quit my diet now that you've proven weight loss isn't worth it.

Petra does two crits with 8 percent? Sounds about right to me

7:15 You get Speed +2 from mastering Myrmidon, not Mercenary.

One thing I learned about this game Pegasus knights couldn't care less about weight, they automatically double anything

Lysithea hitting the gym so she can suplex TWSID

"My Lysithea has 25 strength" Me: wot

Thank you for the important information, Claude von Riegan.

How do you know all this but not know how to get a dancer (lol)

People seem to fail to understand how Lysithea can have 25 Str. It is actually very simple. The Warrior class has a base Str of 19. This means that when a unit passes the exam, their Str is bumped to 19 in case it was lower than that. Also, the Warrior class has a +3 modifier in Str. Thus, when all those factors are combined, Lysithea will have 22 Str when she passes the Warrior exam and switches to that class. Then, when Lysithea is in the Warrior class, she has a 30% growth rate in Str. If Lysithea's Str is 22 at level 20, the average of the Str she can get al level 25 is 23.5. Chaz's Lysithea has 25 Str, which is just slightly above average. There was a 13.23% of Lysithea gaining 3 Str points in 5 levels, so Chaz was just a bit lucky.

But what’s Chaz’s chest hair’s weight stat

Summary = Lose Weight.

So... all you need to understand is if you have enough strength you can negate weapon and item weight, leading to the most efficient use of attack speed, hopefully allowing Moulder to heal Colm.

Lysithea. Strength. Pick one.

There is one use for -3 weight and its for Flexing the amount of skills on your unit.

you could easily pull off a claude cosplay, you handsome devil!

After starting my Blue Lions run I've found that speed is irrelevant, so long as you have a Dedue.

Remember when Constitution was still a stat? Me neither

I'll stick to my silver weapons. I can't stand the look of training and iron weapons lol. I need my units to look as cool as possible.

The system which tells you that training weapons can kill dragons faster than steel weapons

My boi Chaz Aria is a man of culture. He knows what we wanna know but IS don't want us to know.

Weight -5 is worth a skill slot, but since you're not going to use any armor classes on a good build, and Move +1 and Avoid +30 are the other 2 skills, it's not worth the training.

Thanks Mekkkah for teaching me this somewhat

Iron+ weapons usually do everything for me They have good hit, decent damage output, nice durability, rather low weight

Imagine using the best mage as a warrior

THAT PHYSICAL LYSITHEA IS THE MOST CURSED THING IVE SEEN TODAY

If Weight was an IRL Stat, as easy as getting. All i would need us -30 Weight to Feel Slimmer. Great Video Choopie as always! Cannot wait for the next one!

on my first run, i was planning on training Annette in armour for Weight -3, but then i saw myrmidon gives Speed +2 from Felix and switched over to that. man, i love being such a pro gamer chad(single, for any of you tempted ladies out there in the youtube comment section)

I was dying laughing when I saw my new favorite class for a specific character. Warrior Lysithea

First off, I’m having scary thoughts on your planning for Lysithea learning Wrath. I agree on weight skills being a bit misleading in practice, but it does help whenever it is applicable on flexible skill slots, just like some budding talents. Speed +2 is amazing even for just a flat stat boost. Good analysis Chaz!

warrior lysithia is pretty cute... great video as per usual choops, thanks for the rundown!

Thanks for doing this. I'm on my 3rd play through, on maddening, but I still had no idea how these numbers worked. I couldn't even figure out why training weapons were in the game when you can equip iron weapons at rank E. I just figured they were props for the training tournaments and mock battles.

Weight, what?

We've all but confirmed this is basically Claude von Reigan in real life. The real question... Is he S-rankable?

Choosi! I wasnt early to this vid and now im sad :( Just remember training armor on Byleth is the best because you not only can snag weight -3 but you can also get the best character in the game, Ferdinand von Aegir!

I figured that weight subtracted from speed, but I had no idea that strength played a role. Great stuff!

I never even knew weight -3 was a learnable skill until my third play through, my current one. Why? Because I never bothered with armored units. Dedue and Raph both were glass cannons as War Masters. Thank you for making this video! This helps a lot! ^.^

Armors are your favourite? What is this, Fire Emblem Heroes? (P.S. Loving the guides choopi, keep it up)

Huh, there go my hopes of Armored Knight Annette, my main problem I've encountered on my first play through is either I doubled everyone or I struggle with doubling everyone, in fact the only units that consistently doubled was Felix, Catherine and Byleth, I've been using Gauntlets a lot on the non Cav Males for that reason. Definitely gonna try and get some extra Spd on my units in the early game on my second BL playthrough where I actually recruit some other house units, since unlike in Heroes Speed is the best stat.

thank you so much for this video! i felt so lost trying to optimize my character's weapon roster. i feel like a real WEIGHT has been lifted off my shoulders

I could listen to that voice for days....

-5 weight is 100% the time worth it in new game plus on high res units. -5 weight is always 5 extra dodge for physical attacks even if not using it for AS. That is the highest increase to dodge of any ability that is non-conditional, with the only higher ones being conditioned on wait 30% and under 25% HP 30%.

Dude, i so much appreciate your videos and this one specifically. I tried googling and for the life of me couldnt find a guide on this. Just had to rewatch this again on my church playthrough. Going to finish with black eagles next and then thatll be all of them!

I love your voice my guy, subscribing from that alone. And you're smart on this stuff to boot. Never knew how to get the speed +2 until now, or how to even really work out the avoid and attack speed. Keep up the good work.

Glad the weight is over-I’ve been looking forward to this video!

I really need a full list of formulas.. there’s vital stuff I learned really late. Magic is weird in general, and it seems they are determined to make high Luck worth your time. I like the new weight though. In older games it either something a unit was dragged down by or it quickly loses relevance. In this game all enemies lose AS and it also somewhat balances axes. There might be some enemies and situations in which you might want both AS and power, but the game pushes you to have specialized units handle it. Training gear is overkill on a lot of units lategame, many powerhouses eventually negate the iron penalty lategame, or have enough surplus speed they don’t care. At least it is something to consider having multiple weapon variants on you at all times.

Omg! Finally my questions has been answered! Thank you! Also, because of you I started playing FEH...so addictive! Great video btw

This is a really well-made instructional video, I learned a bunch despite having already completed the game once. Thanks for making it!

YOU MADE EXACTLY 20,000 subsrcibers as of now, congrats!!

Thanks for the tips and for keeping it spoiler free.

Thank you Choopi for always being frothy. I love popping in your stream VODs whenever I get caught up in 3H. The game is so thick (with padding, but still) I can't wait to see what the DLC is like

coming back and watching through your is so much fun, i love how you write and edit that into something so like idk it just flows through my brain and makes sense its awesome

Pretty much the conclusion I've come to so far in my run. I think if it was -5 or even -4 it'd be more worth it.

I made Bernadetta into a Pure Heavy Armor so she can reduce the weight of the better bows and such early on the following playthrough to better emphasize her raw Speed. :D Weight-5 Speed+2 with a Steel Bow is so nice. :)

Thank you Choopi! Everyone needs to watch this! I had to research online to figure the weight formula out

I'm always listening to you Chaz, loving the recent videos and more regarding this game that I will save up to purchase throughout the year. Continue being you, love you just the way you are. And, I wonder if the myth about you is true... that you have never left a woman unsatisfied by your voice or muscles.

Iron+ weapons are OP for this reason!

from the creator of armor knight Annete, there it comes the unforgatable sequel, *Fortress Knight Lysithea* (DO IT CHAZ)

The music that you used in this video is super chill and I absolutely love it. 👌

Holy absolute fuck man. Among the reasons I need the next mainline entry to Fire Emblem, selfishly wanting more of these super in depth and INSANELY polished videos. This is absolute top tier content for one of my favourite game series. Incredibly well done to say the least.

Dude, that Armor Annette was the best thing ever, what are you saying?

Talking about stats in FE is hard cause you need to talk about stat benchmarks in each chapter for each bach of enemies. The problem is enemy AS doesn't scale in steps as in 'chapters 4-8 you need 16 AS to double all soldiers' there is a huge variety and mixtures of HP and AS you need to account in EACH chapter of the game. You could say training weapons let you double but they might fall short on the might benchmarks for 1 rounding a bach of units, where a steel weapon would've let you 1 round if you could also double utalizing weight -3. Adding to that how growth rates are literally random and you can't plan it out with a good enough assumption that accounts for having 3 less or more speed than a benchmark. All this adds to how you can't really 'plan' around going out of your way training someone in armor just for Wt-3 because there are far too many variables in play and has too high of a requirement (rank C) to be used when improvising. I suck at explaining in text, I promise this makes sense I'm just english bad.

I love your videos so much! They’re so informative!

Oh my gosh, the thumbnail is so cute! 😍 I still watched the whole video too, Chaz, don't worry!

Legit started getting units to C armor when I first saw weight minus 3 on Raphael lol

Big brain moment: What if you equip both? \0.0/ In all seriousness though, a couple of notes: -Fortress Knights get Weight -5 as a class skill, giving you an effective -8 to Weight with said skill equipped. -Speed +2 is also better in the sense that your Weight Stat can not go Negative, meaning that if my unit had Weight -3 as a skill and a 5 Weight Weapon, but already had 25 Strength, instead of doing as the Math would suggest in giving you +3 Speed, instead you simply get no speed Penalties.

That extreme intro always gets me. So satisfying, silly, unique and.... Charming lol Subbed 4 life.

I do use training weapons early game, but around mid-game the strength stat of every unit is generally high enough to equip iron weapons over training weapons. Steel I rarely use, only for combat arts early game. Silver actually weights less and is stronger than steel, so stronger weapons are not always heavier.

Chaz you remembered to do an intro

What about if you make a unit with 55-60% speed growth a fortress knight or great knight in the late game? I was planning on having Felix be a swordmaster up until I can certify as a fortress knight. Then at level 25-30 when I switch to fortress knight, he gets the def boost from the certification and nullifies the penalty from the class with double weight -5. With a speed stat of 35+ to boot. Voila, you have a speedster, that can casually double with any axe and if you manage to hit him, it tickles. You can achieve a similar effect with edelgard, luck, and some speedwings. Granted it's kind of overkill, but it's an option.

Hello chaz sorry I’ve been missing for so long, a lot going on, and I’m still not gonna be around much because of other issues but great video as always and I hope you have a lot of success. I’ll be cheering for you.

I was about to comment two very fatal errors, but your description did just that. Very good catch!

Strength applying to AS actually makes a lot of sense

This man’s voice does not match his face i’m shook

I've been *weighting* for this explanation video, thanks Chaz!

oh my i just found your channel through this video and let me say.. AMAZINGLY informative video!!! very easy to follow and i learned some stuff i didnt know being a fire emblem veteran! thank you very much! 👍 (also your voice and face are very cute, keep up the great work man!!)

What! you mean my weight OH no.

Image ever seeing your AS except right as you attack someone

I didn't even know I needed this, thanks bro!

Thanks for the video! Hope to see more 3 houses content!

It is funny to land crits with Training weapons. So satisfying. 😅 Claude would just fly in and say, "See ya sucker!"

I saw Wt and thought 'Huh, so there's weight, probably doesn't matter much' Then my Edelgard gets this -3 Weight skill from Emperor class (which is pretty fucking late into the game) and I was like... THAT'S A THING ALL ALONG ?

"Run the numbers before they run hands." Made me instantly subscribe. Plus, I like your voice and face. UwU Great informative video. Almost halfway through my second playthrough with Blue Lions. This info will help me restructure Dedue you even lift and a few other units I have. (Like War God Lysithea holy fk what a twist in how to potentially build her character.)

I didn't hear anything... I was mesmerized by the beautiful hair. So shiny.

We said Lysithea is good with WARP, not Warrior! Gawd, Chaz

RIP my light as a feather -10 weight Dedeue :(

Very nice video. Yeah, Spd > Weight in the end. I love armored units too, it's really sad that the only 3 armored classes aren't really viable in this game. They're only good to raise your base Def stat. I hope to see some more Armor/Flier variety with DLCs, where are my Barons and Dark Fliers?

I didn't know how much I needed barbarian Lysithea in my life until today! Thanks Chaz!

This lvl 26 Linhardt is faster than my level 35 wtf Edit: Slight mistake at 2:21, 15-(6-(2)) equals 11. 21 divided by 5 equals around 4. Chaz doing Mangs math over here

CAN YOU PLEASE COSPLAY CLAUDE, you’d literally be perfect as him

These videos are the best Three Houses guide I’ve seen

Dude, your videos are the absolute best

This video is incredibly misleading. You show lysithea using a sword

Your voice is so bass-ey it knocked an amiibo off of my sounds bar. Also, good video 👍

Thanks for this info! Now I know what Weight does when I do my Maddening Classic run, and what to give Petra when I need a dodge.

I'm 50 hours in and I just learned lots from you. thanks!
