The MOST BROKEN Character in Fire Emblem Engage - Jean and Ike Great Aether Combo Analysis

Поділитися

  • Опубліковано 1 лип 2024
  • I stumbled on this great combo in Engage that has Jean and Ike going crazy with Great Aether, Wrath and Vantage to be almost unkillable and having a LOT of crit. This build is VERY viable all the way through the end game and while it does take a bit of initial investment and babying of Jean, it will pay off in dividends once it really gets going. He is literally a one man army.

  • @gianghuynh9570
    @gianghuynh9570 Рік тому +5

    I found out that Great Aether will automatically taunt every enemy when you cast it because of the 100% get hit rate you put on yourself. So having someone with Lucina and Bonded Shield will help block most of the damage. The enemies only attack the Lucina unit if the Ike unit is surrounded and they cannot find a position to hit them, which is not likely to happen. This combo is my favourite to clean map and farm exp. It helps to have the unit using Lucina to have high avo so they don’t get targeted. Also helps to have Soren’s skill to force a unit to be targeted.

    This is essentially the standard panette build if you're not running Lyn for speed taker tbh. I don't like committing Lyn to panette though, since you don't really need to double if you one tap everything, and once you hit vantage range speed is no longer an issue, whereas Lynn can shore up someone else that has a harder time doubling or avoiding doubles like Ivy. (Though I use her on Etie because I have a soft spot for her and she needs the help)

    Yep, this is very very similar to the Panette build I was running by the end of hard classic.
    I saw he had the potential to become something like this near the end of my hard playthrough, but by then my Panette was already like this.
    Though he doesn't get the benefit of her really high base strength and hp, and doesn't have the extra 10 crit and maybe some personal stat cap modifiers.
    In my case, I had +6 extra attack with axes as well, instead of vantage.
    Since I didn't have quite the group killing potential yours does with vantage/pair up I was using her for great aether, some longbow snipes (she was classed as warrior), and as a kill this unit button with the ~80-100% crit triple digit damage attacks she was getting.
    Nice to see other people finding things like this, though I think I'll be making my Jean a halberdier or maybe mage knight for cutting through defenses, since there's only one Ike.

      The thing with Jean is that he catches up to the bases of every single unit in the game, including Pannette, and he eventually eclipses them, so that isn't the problem. Pannette has the advantage of the extra +10% crit that synergizes so well with this build otherwise.

    @jacklambert6453 Рік тому +8

    Quick correction to something here that I didn't see in the comments already:
    You should always, always use master seals to promote a unit before you 2nd seal. If you use the 2nd seal 1st, you have to spend 20 levels in a base class. In Jean's case, you spend 10 levels in monk and 10 levels in fighter before you can be a berserker. The promotion path would look like this:
    10 levels in Monk -> 2nd Seal to level 1 fighter -> 10 levels in fighter -> Master Seal to Berserker
    However, if you promote him at level 10 to an advanced class, you can 2nd seal him immediately to berserker as there is no level requirement for 2nd seal use once you are promoted. This would totally bypass the 10 levels he has to spend as a fighter and because engage moderates exp gains based off an internal level counter, he would actually gain exp faster as a level 1 berserker with this method. Promotion path would look like this:
    10 levels in Monk -> Master Seal to Martial Master -> (without levelling) 2nd Seal to Berserker.
    The change in growths would get him a 20% higher strength growth for the 10 levels he would have spent in fighter and 10% higher growths in HP and Build. It also gets him access to better weapons sooner and an extra point of movement which is nice>
    This tip is true for every character and not just Jean, so it's useful to know. Small tip for promoting aside, I really enjoyed the video! This is a funny build and it looks like it works great, especially if you get him some forges and engravings on those weapons. I bet a forged tomahawk would be incredibly rude here.

    • @nanashivii9237
      @nanashivii9237 Рік тому

      At 5:39, he mentions why Jean is the exception to the rule of "promote first, reclass second". It has everything to do with Jean's Personal Skill Expertise, which doubles the growth rates of whatever class he is in.
      Therefore, if you're trying to optimize his build, it makes sense to reclass him into something that has beneficial growths since Jean joins at Lv1 and needs to gain those 9 Base class levels before promotion regardless.
      As you can see from the timestamp, he gains an average of 5 HP/2 Str/1 Dex/2 Spd/1 Bld over his default Monk class in that short stint in a Base class, making it more efficient to reclass before anything else. Not only that, he is more effective in the short term this way and doesn't end up with a bunch of redundant stats that could've gone into useful ones.

    If you want to make Jean something else but also have something similar to this that's better than Boucheron, Berserker Amber works well for this.
    Amber's Aspiring Hero skill makes him take way too many hits so having Ike's Laguz Friend completely nullify that demerit while also reaping the massive health growth of the Berserker class is definitely valuable. It lets him take advantage of the large +20 hit from Aspiring Hero to make the notoriously low hit rate axes actually smack them while also activating Aspiring Hero naturally since he's throwing himself into battle.
    While Amber's health growth pales in comparison to Boucheron and Jean at only a mere 95, his strength growth supplants both of them at 75 throwing in +2 to the Strength cap. Also, Boucheron sucks as a Berserker since he doesn't have high strength but rather has extremely high dexterity. That doesn't work well for Berserker since Berserker literally has the lowest dexterity cap in the game. Boucheron is better of switching to a Wyvern Knight cause of that since it's way too easy to cap out on dex if he stays as a Berserker. It should be a given, but you kinda want the highest strength growth for the highest strength cap and growth class in the game. Amber's stats are more suited to that, and his skill even works well for it.

    12:02 yeah, Ike isn’t an Emblem for tanks. Tanks appreciate the mitigation but don’t particularly care because if they’re doing their job right they shouldn’t be taking much, if any, damage already. He is an emblem for an archetype called Bruisers. Bruisers are typically more durable than damage dealers but less durable than tanks and do more damage than tanks but do less than damage dealers (like nukers or DPS). These are characters like Diamant and Pennet.

    It may be a dumb question but I am not that far into the game so there are still a few things i don't understand. Vantage is Leifs skill. You can inherit the "normal" version by getting the units bond to Level 3. I'm at chapter 9 and Leifs max Bondlevel goes up to Level 10. Does it reach another max Level when I have more progress in the game? I'm confused since the Dlc chars can already reach up to Bondlevel 20. So, do I have to inherit Leifs level 3 skill and later on his level whatever skill to get Vantage+??

    • @LinkKing7

      Yes, in the second half of the game you unlock their paralogues, and the max bond level increases to 20. I believe if you look at the Ring section in the Reference area it should show them. Not sure if it shows them early on or not but try checking there for more details
