Since this is coming up so much in the comments, I feel I should specify that I'm not allowing myself the use of DLC or path bonus rewards, so Witch Nyx is off the table. Not every player will have access to these, so it's generally standard to leave these options out of discussion, as I have done here.
instructions unclear, befriending effie and sending nyx into general great video! nyx is my favorite unit in conquest so im happy to see her get some love
It's, legit, super cool to see more folks making FE Fates content. I know these games have a pretty bad rep (and frankly, understandably so), but seeing the amount of love and passion players have for this game in the year 2024 is kind of stunning.
This is a great video! I love using the weaker conquest units and I think Nyx’s damage output makes her an objectively fun unit to play. I usually go with a Sol Dark Knight build via Charlotte friendship wielding the horse spirit. Would love to see more of these :)
I'm not good at making builds in Conquest, but I've always had Witch!Nyx as an MVP on my playthroughs. It gives her a good early game Speed boost and emphasizes her extreme damage. And usually massive damage is overkill in Fire Emblem, but in Conquest? It matters a lot. Even if she can't double, very few things can take her hits very well leaving to instances where sometimes my only option is to have her warp in, nuke someone important to pick up momentum, then bail her out with Shelter or some other utility. The best part is that as a Witch she uses a lot of the more weirdo spells pretty well. Odin's Grimoire, Disrobing Gale, and Lightning end up working really well with her jacked up Magic stat and because it's so easy to bail her out of a Warp, she ends up being one of my defacto "problem solving" units in spite of how little she starts to see combat in the late game. Plus, sometimes you get Luck and Speed blessed and she ends up dodge-tanking with Support bonues. It doesn't happen but seeing her dodge and then fucking disintegrate the poor sod swinging at her? Crispy clean, I tells ya. That said, my recommendations for her are very rudementary. I'm sure once I explore Fates' more intricate unit building systems I'll discover even more wonderful things about her besides Magic.
By far one of the most interesting Fates videos I’ve ever come across. I’m especially excited to see how you train both Mozu and Nyx at the same time - they’ll need to do so for a while until they get their A support. Also excited to see who will Nyx marry. Subbed to accompany this journey!
I have done this class progression in playthrough before, it is genuinely good and fun! What you said about the endgame pass ability is super relevant and a big draw of this build imo, having a player phase nuke that converts to your pass unit for endgame is beautiful also she can eat up the right wing of 25 if she goes into bow knight instead of either of the archer class builds, again very nice for your pass unit!
One thing I really really like to do whenever I use Nyx is capture a shrine maiden for Rally Luck. It helps a ton with hit and general reliability and it isnt like its just for Nyx. Camilla, Arthur and Luck Bane Corrin really appreciate it while Elise and Xander getting even more overkill luck can legitimately make a difference.
I love using Nyx a lot. In my current Conquest run, I’m planning on having her in Master of Arms for endgame, and running all three magic melee weapons!
I love people making videos proving why characters are worth investing in!! My hot take is that no unit in any Fire Emblem game is ever useless or not viable, because that's just not how the games are designed. I'm so down for Nyx gaming, I love her. My favorites - Charlotte and Arthur - are also always put in low tiers or only used as Berserker backpacks, so I'm still waiting on people that are willing to make videos to prove they are very viable units as well.
I can't help but think that it's so cool how this game can be played in so many different ways, even this early. It's so much fun. :D For this chapter, I went with a focus of Nyx x Mozu C support. I want to get to Archer asap! I'm also going to add the hitrates on Enemy Phase, so people can actually see how feasible it is haha. My laptop can barely handle the animations too but usually it slows down to a crawl if I'm unlucky, even if my internet is off and no device is running aside from OBS and Citra... >_< But yeah, nice clear! And I really like the Nyx usage, as a Nyx fan myself that sadly only used her on my first playthrough (on Normal) because of uh, '"known" issues. Good luck! And you got yourself a new subscriber.
I train her by using my Powersaves device to give characters whatever classes, skills and weapons I want. I even did a Gunter Solo of Revelation this way.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but this just makes me want to watch more Zoran videos. (But also more videos from you.) Fire Emblem Fates is pulling me back in!!!
Shit you just said not to compare Nyx to Peri, thats pretty exciting The most I have used Nyx is mostly as a backpack for Odin and making her a samurai in ninja cave to pass vantage on to Ophelia (getting 1.20 levels on an underleveled unit that sees like 10 dual guards isn't as bad as you think (seriously adventurer Odin for ninja cave goes so hard)) While Peri has been a great combat unit everytime I use her, sure she has terrible classes, her insane raw stats make her very usable at either 1 range enemy phases or working well with dual strikes
I love Peri too, for the record. Frankly, I think 1 range is kind of underrated in this game, and Peri fills a similar niche as Nyx in being an absolute nuke in the offensive department but with mediocre accuracy and bulk. Her issues are just harder to patch up than Nyx's since join time is such a big deal in this game, but I'd never discount her entirely!
As someone whose first playthrough was with Mag+ Corrin and married Nyx, it feels cool seeing this alternative take to pushing her prowess. I kept her as a tome user and just gave her a forged Fire to help her accuracy issues. She had so much Magic and Speed that even with a relatively weaker weapon, she had no issues killing.
Damn i guess i got to retry nyx again. Funnily enough this is how i think of using bow anna and never thought to try it on her. I do have a question tho. I know it would lead into a bad idea, but what about kaze marriage for machinist skills as well?
Replicate Nyx sounds really funny actually. What if I had two units with perfect player phase combat lmao. My initial impression is that I wouldn't recommend it in a normal playthrough since it overcomplicates her reclassing route and makes her suffer from 5 skill slot syndrome even more than she already does (similar to the LnD build), but mech does actually have bows so if you wanna go for it the training arc probably wouldn't even be that bad. If you're looking for a high investment build on Nyx this sounds like a fun one to try out.
@@CodingAnt1 came back after trying her out with the shinging bow. Suprisingly fun for how much she can do. Having a delete button like this is pretty great.
At minimum, I've ranked Keaton, Flora, Izana and Shura below her. (Not in that order.) Most recently, there was exactly one other unit I ranked below her too, but my opinion of him seems to go against the grain of the wider community, so perhaps I should try seeing what others see in him before I speak with confidence about that.
I still play my fates save and I’m maxing out every stat on every character so nobody is bad to me💀 Anyways I made her a Witch so she just warps in nukes anything and everything and gets sang to and warps out🤷♂️

I'm doing this unironically in my current playthrough, I think it'll be fun.

GENERAL GAMING!!!!
Fates got that infinite replayability glitch. Peak of the series fr

Oh hey, zenmode! Didn't expect to see you here. Does this mean we'll be getting a "How I would fix Maushold in Fire Emblem Engage"?
Nyx is my fav so thank you for this video!! I just cheat and throw her in Witch after Malefic Aura😭
New Conquest run with an interesting twist just dropped? Everybody stay calm!
Excited to see where this goes, and what shenanigans you pull off!

I'm a simple man.
I see Fates, I sub.
I adore this!! Can't wait for more parts!! You have an excellent narration style and this video was so interesting to watch!
I always somehow or someway end up benching Nyx. I subbed because i NEED that Fates content. Please keep it up!!!❤❤
I have done this class progression in playthrough before, it is genuinely good and fun!

*Appears from nowhere*
Nyx
Well that's one way to make an introduction
I train her by using my Powersaves device to give characters whatever classes, skills and weapons I want. I even did a Gunter Solo of Revelation this way.
I see Nyx content, I like and subscribe!
my favorite part of my fates run was watching nyx call anankos a lost child
Finally some good fucking food
Nice editing!
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but this just makes me want to watch more Zoran videos. (But also more videos from you.) Fire Emblem Fates is pulling me back in!!!
I don't even really like Nyx but I wanna see where you take this, please make more :)
Very cozy and informative video. Actually made me dig up my 3ds to try a new Conquest run lol
Oh hey my buddy codingant

I'm actually doing the same challenge myself. I'm in chapter 16 rn, but i think i'll bench her until chapter 17 or 18. She's almost ready to promote
Fine I’ll play conquest again
As someone whose first playthrough was with Mag+ Corrin and married Nyx, it feels cool seeing this alternative take to pushing her prowess.
I kept her as a tome user and just gave her a forged Fire to help her accuracy issues. She had so much Magic and Speed that even with a relatively weaker weapon, she had no issues killing.
Nyx is in my Conquest run a witch with high spd and Magic
Damn i guess i got to retry nyx again. Funnily enough this is how i think of using bow anna and never thought to try it on her.

Great video
curious to know what other 3+ characters you think are worse than nyx aside from benny and peri
At minimum, I've ranked Keaton, Flora, Izana and Shura below her. (Not in that order.)

I want to like Nyx, but she ain't Lilina sadly
why is your corn +skill
i love hit rates
I thought i was pretty okay at conquest. Doesn't seem true after watching this lol
