"I dont believe in giving units class skills as personal skills" "Didnt you just give Larachel one?" "I dont believe in consistency"

Gilliam's ability is way too tame: instead, he should have the FE7 Kishuna magic seal around him at all times -and have to die on a specific turn of a specific chapter to unlock the worst gaiden you've ever seen-

For Rennac, i think instead of going despoil we go fe5 Capture Personal skill Bribery: Rennac can use the "Bribe" command to pay 1000× enemy level (promotions count as +20) to open a trade window with an enemy unit. When the trade concludes, the enemy flees the map. Bosses are exempt from this ability.

The only thing I can think of for Renae is some kind of Pay command that buffs up his stats for one turn. Playing into his greedy nature.

Good news, Neimi, you get an easily maintained buff. Bad news, the one thing you used to have going for you, your quick support with Colm, sucks now. Still an overall improvement.

I think having Seth’s personal be some sort of nerf could be interesting. This is definitely more gameplay than story/character-based, but something like FE10 mercy so he can only ever set up kills might be nice, although that might just completely take the fun/challenge out of setting up kills in general. Or maybe something tied to the injury he gets from Valter at the start of the game, where he gets like -20 hit if he’s below 100% HP to reflect his injury flaring up or something. Would help balance out how insane he is otherwise and could make him a bit more interesting to use

being hypocritical over something involving l'arachel is unbelievably based

So Duessels skill is basically just reverse devil axe.

hi nice video, i think that Colm skill becomes obsolete very quick, and i don't like the idea of having to hurt Neimi intentionally to make use of the skill, so here is new effects for both. Neimi - Hunt Mate: the user and all adjacent ally's would ignore enemy terrain bonuses and gain 1.3 of extra exp. for defeating monsters. Neimi has experience at hunting and camping so i imaging that her main contribution to the army is help people to fight not human enemies. Colm - Master Snatcher: after a successful steal/unlock, the user get a +50 hit and avoid until the start of the next turn. Colm is introduce by casually snatching the main macguffin right under Erika AND Seth noses, so he is much better at stealing that other characters give him credit for, so for doing thief stuff, he get's such a confidence boost that he becomes untouchable for the rest of the turn, suits him very nicely.

Recently fell down the Fire Emblem KZfaq Rabbit hole after only knowing of Ghast. Been Loving binging your videos, Keep it up.

Wouldn't it be funny if stuck close to their FEH Prf weapons, if applicable? Eirika and Seth would have a very tame couple of effects: she buffs Atk for 1 turn, and also copies any stat bonus that adjacent allies might have, while Seth has a stronger weapon triangle advantage AND disadvantage. And then Gilliam is an actual god on earth, with the tamest of his effects being a walking Iote/Delphi/whatevertheantifliereffectiveshieldiscalled Shield. Imagine being a chapter 1 unit released 6 years after the game came out, in a game notoriously rife with powercreep. Fomortiis would also be unironically terrifying.

I love that you took one look at bishop artur and just went "ok yeah, what if we just made him even more fucking cracked at his one job"

Imagine the Fall of Renais, but Fado just sits on the throne summoning Armors. Valter would probably like the endless bloodshed, but if I were leading that siege I'd just go home, Vigarde be damned.

I love the idea of status effect skills like Gilliams. Give Ilyana a skill that makes her go to sleep every other turn. Give Berserkers a percent chance to have berserk for a turn. Be wild. Untethered

The only thing I would change is that too many skills rely on luck. A skill proc would work better. Otherwise, great job

Such a creative video, can’t wait to watch more of this series! Vanessa, Tana, and Saleh’s are so flavorful on top of being pretty useful! I also love how Ross/Colm/Marissa/Knoll’s skills have risk-reward aspects that condition you to treat them more like characters with their own quirks, instead of just moving them around like chess pieces haha. And Orson’s is fucking hilarious 💀

Good list I think. I really like L'Arachel's and Ewan's (finally, a reason to go Super Pupil!) I think for Ross, I wouldn't give him the -2 damage effect. In the base game, I like that early on he's easily doubled and killed, so you have to play carefully at first. Having an easy defense boost would undercut that. Maybe a bonus to avoid instead, as a sort of beginner's luck? (And he can keep the boost to his own damage, that part's great)

That Joshua skill would be way too good. His supports with Gerik and L’Arachel allow him to hit >80% crit

babe wake up new dani doyle vid

My main man Joshua gets to be an even bigger destroyer of worlds than he already is, hell ye.

i like Gilliam 's trait but also i think having Janaff's personal skill would work for him since he's got a support with Neimi talking about his incredible eyesight+ vigilance. it would also fix his awful hitrates

Me, I think Seth's should be like "Enemies within attacking range give 25% more EXP." That would be a unique way to spin it that could be easier for the GBA to handle, since it doesn't like dividing by anything that isn't an exponent of 2. Addendum: Okay, so more opinions added. Ross - Warrior's Spirit: Strength, HP, Defense and Resistance growths are doubled if the enemy is a higher level. Promotion is considered +20 levels. Lute - Studious: Might is increased depending on the level required to use the weapon- E is 0, D is 1, C is 2, and so on. Joshua - Rigged Bet: Skill determines Crit Evade instead of Luck, with a 50% increase. Luck's effect on accuracy and evasion is halved. Forde and Kyle - These seem fine, but I would make it trigger on being next to L'Arachel, Joshua, Tana, Innes- pretty much any other royal person, not just the Lords. They needn't be on the same side, either. Amelia - Room to Grow: Upon level up, double the stat gains for up to two stats. Doubled stat gains for all your level-ups is just wayyy too OP. Ewan - Adaptable Knowledge: This one is decent, but I feel like it should also allow you to have multiple S ranks- as a thematic thing that gives him a bonus once he doesn't need to rank up his weapons anymore.

The Amelia one proposes interesting questions such as, "if a unit at level 15 unpromoted has strength, skill, and speed capped, but still has better growth than every other unit in the game, do you promote them so they can keep gaining in those stats or keep leveling them up? Given that she caps every stat but res by 10/15/10, uhh ... Yeah that Amelia personal makes her S tier on Eirika, given that as a level 1 Cav she's already really good. 28 hp, 10 str, 13 speed, 7 def. And then has growths close to Myrrh.

i really love this! i may become a patron when i get paid tmr, i wanna see more personal skills

Love what you did for lyon, partly because itd have served me well in my reverse recruitment run (3 summoners!!) but i feel you could push it further. What if instead he could ALSO summon blue monater units? I understand having 2 bonus skills is a bit much, but lyon is essentially a trophy character, hes your goofy fun reward for doing a basically pointless challenge. For that reason i think its ok if he breaks convention.

I know I am late to this. Would Eirika and Ephraim 's personal skill be combined when near to each other. For example Lunar and Solar Presence like when Engaged makes Eclipse Presence?

Some of these are really cool :) I especially like the Eirika and Ephraim ones, they feel really flavourful. The question is if it would trigger of of their luck stats or the adjacent units luck. My only experience with Sacred Stones is via the Sacred Trilogy hack which already adds the skill system to the game, so I’m not actually used to playing it without them. A lot of these would make great replacements for that

I think it was a little disappointing to just give Lyon a skill based on the Demon King, so I made one more to reflect himself--Demonic Overlord would be the personal skill of the boss Lyon on Eirika route, while his personal skill on Ephraim's route would be: Demonic Ascendant For every monster unit within a 4 tile radius, gains +1 attack and -5 avoid. I wanted to contrast the Demon King's affinity for empowering his minions and not really caring so much for the suit of flesh he happens to be wearing with Lyon having a skill entirely based around empowering himself, since he believes he is the one benefitting from darkness and not the other way around. Lyon has gained much, much power with every step he took towards mastering the power of the Dark Stone, yet has also become more and more oblivious to those around him and who his actions are truly serving. I think this would also be his skill in the Creature Campaign, since the playable Lyon there is using the "good" portrait as opposed to the possessed one. It would certainly be a pretty harmful skill to have in the postgame, but, hey, more big number does feel very FE8 dark magic.

Crazy that Epholo8 dropped a video on the same idea on the same day. Also I see that Red Cavalier bias poking through.

Does Caellach's skill stack? So like if he attacks you after his entire army suicides into Seth he's just basically god for a turn?

Honestly would just give Eirika and Epharim consisent personals. Eirika: adjacent allied units ignore 20% defense Epharim: adjacent allied units heal 20% damage deal We already get deal +3 damage personals in modern games, so no need to nerf Eirika and Epharim with luck% chance to proc. If its not consistent, then its irrelevant.

ross should probably also get an exp bonus (1.5x maybe?) when activating his skill. that way, each of the trainees has an ability that helps them grow, ross gains levels faster, amelia gains more stats on level up, ewan gains weapon rank faster (at least post promotion, where he effectively gets 2-3x w.exp, and also probably gets multiple s ranks)

Amelia’s skill is so busted I love it, who needs good growths when you’re taking steroids?

Wait, how does Ross's skill interact with the fact he gets two promotions? If promotion adds +20 levels, wouldn't he count as being level 21 as soon as he gets out of journeyman (meaning it won't work on any of the enemies you'll encounter at that stage of the game), and level 41 when he gets his second tier class?

Hope you're having a good day c:

It'd be neat if Valter got something like "Unfriendly Fire." He's able to kill his own allies and get some kind of buff....or NOT! I feel like Valter would do it anyway just for fun.

Frankly I'd give Seth a negative personal skill. Like -20% to exp gain or something...

Gheb would by far have the strongest one.

nhame nhame

Some of these skills feel way to strong. But of course it is just a theorycraft
