Still pisses me off they have the magic type triangle, then only have a single dark mage thats not a trainee and make him that shit. And introduce him that late.
@@robertharris6092at least they were in the one class that could promote into a broken class if you used it right. But yeah, they really wanted to make dark magic bad after it being decent in FE6 and broken if you used it right in FE7, while light magic was made better thanks to most enemies being weak against it. In other words, they made light magic much better, but in turn they did dark magic dirty. A shame.
The fact that he drills it into our heads that it's a 1 durability run gets annoying after the first time, since the line only had 1 durability. ...I'll see myself out.
I still think it’s impressive that there were no guaranteed soft locks on the entire game, not to mention how practically no one died despite not being able to level up at all 😭
I mean, the max exp would be rigging dodge exp for tens of thousands of turns to reach level 20 on every unit available as soon as they are recruited. Trying to maximize the amount of possible units to gain exp and promote by recruiting everyone and making sure to grab every promotion item could make for an interesting theoretical play through where you can plan out a potentially max exp route but actually pulling it off would suck.
I watched every individual video from this run, then the full video which is just the individual videos in one. I guess my sanity only has 1 durability
bruh I was playing radiant dawn watching vids in the background when the music at 11:43 started and I thought the music in my game suddenly doubled up out of nowhere lmao
The pacifist strats were hilarious, just breaking weapons with seth's face because they had 1 durability and leaving hordes of harmless units preventing more enemies from spawning and trapping them in nonexistence
Advance wars 1 or 2 campaign but every unit has 1 ammo and also, you cannot capture, if the player controls a factory, airport, or naval port when you start the mission. (Dual Strike and Days of Ruin is likely impossible for this as dual strike has a shit ton of healing crystals and days of ruin having caulder, waylon, etc.)
Iron axes are a greater store of value and killer axes even better still, but they both pale in comparison to the fiat currency that is phantom summons.
@@shirrenthewanderer414 they are a cost free infinite resource, only costing the turn for your summoner. Turns are infinite. As long as the phantom dies, you're golden.
Now i really want to see this as a iron man since you already found out the conga line strategy and know what to face "If you know what your doing the game isn't hard"
And this is why Durability on Weapons should go away in not just Fire Emblem, but in all SRPGs as it only makes for pointless rationing of mostly Iron and Ranged Weapons. Durability on your Units is more important as to how many hits they can take. Durability on your weapons means making horrible strategical choices on using mostly crappy weapons with high durability against enemies than good weapons with low durability.
@@EphemeralPseudonym I guess so, but it's not like people don't commonly do that for 0% growths, randomizers, ROM hacks, etc. It would take some work to create the mod though-I don't know how much, since I'm not an expert on this sort of thing. You could always keep track of the numbers yourself and sacrifice any unit who loses its total HP value at recruitment across all maps. Or, you could just go for a damageless or near-damageless run and it wouldn't matter.
@@cullenhutchison6528 0% growths is easy, randomizers use a utility (and Nightmare modules make it accessible anyway), etc What you suggested would require ASM hacking, I don't think that part of the battle routine is decomped yet You could modify some routines bundled in skillsys but that *still* requires some ASM
@@EphemeralPseudonym So basically you're saying that it would be complicated. Keeping track of damage numbers would probably be the way to go, although things like enemy AI wouldn't be how it should--for example, units who should be in kill range aren't because it's a new map with HP reset to max.
Interesting video! I think I understand the challenge at a general level. I don't think you mentioned how many durability the weapons were set to have, though. Do you think you could clarify?
The "this video only has one durability" jokes are not funny anymore, because the joke only had one durability.
Luckily our sense of humor also only had one durability
I would reply, but the reply section only had one durability
Theres so many because you need a lot, since they only have one durability
pgl
A “Subterranean Sun” Broke
The deadpan delivery of "defeat Orson, whose wife had one durability" fucking SLAUGHTERED me dude
Guess she's adopting then.
Timestamp is 27:32
It's because you only had one durability
As do we all
The most insane thing about this run is that in Chapter 19 you actually had green units still alive at the end.
Because the enemy weaponry only has one durability (Vine boom), the Green Units could no longer kill themselves.
@@CaptainCFalcon Even if the Green Unit only have one durability (Vine boom)
I think you missed the point, the weapons were the green units all along (Vine Boom)
It's FE8, the concept of dying doesn't exist.

The Duessel grind was actually frightening with how depraved it is.

“At the cost of absolutely nothing but my limited time on this earth.”
Eh, don’t need it anyway.
Watching this video once because it only has one durability much like my attention span
Tried this run myself, but seth got crit, turns out he had 1 durability.
This is probably the Excelblem run with the lowest number of casualties, both allied and enemy. If you count weapons, though...
not to mention the phantom genocide on chapter 18
@@rotcrumb would you count the V****a ghosts really people?
It's because he was restarting/using save states instead of doing an Iron Man
TWD
The phantoms bring it up a decent amount
Everyone: what's the plan?
Excelblem:use seth
Everyone:so the only plan.
Excelblem: Wait also halfway through we use a better Seth
@@HPkobold Not better. But cheaper
@@gallalameblook9911also better cuz more damage
So basically this is the "what if all fire emblem weapons were horror game crowbars" challenge
fire emblems but with botw weapons
@@LilacMonarchactually true though.
I wanted to repeat a joke, unfortunately it had only 1 durability.
*vine boom*
The conga line is a certified thracia classic... Not for weapon durability but still 😂
Congratulations to Knoll on getting to be extremely useful in an FEtuber's run for once.

“New text layer” at 24:25 only had one durability
Excelblem could probably complete a minimum kill run at this point.
Or he could love himself
"By defeating Orson, whose wife had only 1 durability" That's dark.
I’m so glad this video came out, as I couldn’t watch the other shorts again as they all had 1 durability
The Vine Boom had more than 1 durability
What a great playthrough. To bad it only had 1 durability
The fact that he drills it into our heads that it's a 1 durability run gets annoying after the first time, since the line only had 1 durability.
...I'll see myself out.
finally I can watch this whole thing, previously I couldn't because my computer only had 1 durability
*Pressed one key*: Trumpet starts playing.
Funny how we thought it was impossible at first lol.
Were it not for the Conga Line, it probably would've been.
@@CaptainCFalcon*TF2 WINS AGAIN*
@@CaptainCFalcon real
Its sad I can only like this once, it’s like the button had one durability…
I love that you note the [single] durability of every new item, even 20 minutes into the video 😂
(but in all seriousness, this is great stuff man!)
Guys I think the weapons might have 1 durability in this run. Not sure though
Brave weapons I think had two durability somehow
@@MissingnoleaderThey still had one, they're just programmed to still do both attacks even if durability runs out on the first attack
I still think it’s impressive that there were no guaranteed soft locks on the entire game, not to mention how practically no one died despite not being able to level up at all 😭
My man you keep me company like nobody else does with your compilations, i was waiting for this one
27:32 "on this map we had to seize the throne by defeating Orsen whos wife had 1 durability" loooool
The perhaps most scuffed run yet.
Unless we do an Engage no damage run
Unfortunately, Engage's attention was gone because it only had one durability (vine boom).
Teegee already did it
Engage no somniel has been done and it is probably more scuffed
Have a scuffed sub. That was truly fun to watch. Just well made all around. Also love the honesty about rewinding to rig. Hope to see more like this
I wonder how annoying a max EXP run would be, basically getting the absolute max amount of EXP per map
I mean, the max exp would be rigging dodge exp for tens of thousands of turns to reach level 20 on every unit available as soon as they are recruited. Trying to maximize the amount of possible units to gain exp and promote by recruiting everyone and making sure to grab every promotion item could make for an interesting theoretical play through where you can plan out a potentially max exp route but actually pulling it off would suck.
This playthrough unfortunately cannot be done again, because it only had 1 durability.
Thank you Excelblem for your dedication to the "one durability" gag. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There is just something incredibly funny about how you narrate these challenged that makes them extra enjoyable to watch.
This is the only run of FE8 where all fucking green units live on chapter 19.
8/10 needed more vine booms
the demon king breaking his arms after one punch lol
Fire Emblem 8 but it plays like Breath of the Wild
This was a great series - excited to see what you do next
The conga line in chapter 9 literally had me laughing
Fire Emblem 1.1111: Iron Conga Line
Take a tiny sip every time you hear "had one durability". You'll still die
I watched every individual video from this run, then the full video which is just the individual videos in one.
I guess my sanity only has 1 durability
13:48 Everyone thought Fire Emblem was anime Chess but it turns out it was anime Go all along.
I wanted to rewatch this series because it was so excellent, but unfortunately it only had 1 durability so I could not.
take a shot every time Excelblem says "because it only had 1 durability"
*proceeds to d¡e*
I think I started hallucinating the vine boom at some point.
*levels up colm* "oh hes gonna use him for late game to get good rng assassinations"
"nvm"

I tried to play a drinking game take a shot whenever he says one durability... i think i may die..
Only play it with water. You'll be very well hydrated
I appreciate the Vine Boom every time you mention 1 durability weapons

Just noticed the rapier bends in the video thumbnail. Because it will use up it's 1 durability!

Do a playthrough where enemy attacks always hit and crit unless a non-crit would kill (in which case the attack could also miss).

This video was not an ironman... It was an Iron Lance. With only one durability.
The vine boom after every single 1 durability no matter how quiet
29:53 this map looks so fun
I too calculate the worth of my possessions by the calculated amount of iron lances they could be sold for. Finance has never been more clear
this was honestly my favourite run except maybe the conquest ironman and shadow dragon hard 5, too bad it only had one durability.
After the viewer watched this video, their phone breaks because it had 1 durability.
take a shot every time he says "it breaks, because it only has one durability"
Playing the fates final chapter music here was hilarious.
Now edit the video so that every time I say: "1 durability" a Vibe boom sounds in the background
Grinding the tower costing nothing but the limited time you have on earth, damn.

Take a drink every time "1 durability" is said
thats a good way to ensure your liver only has 1 durability

i'm not sure when excel says Duessel or "do so"
It kinda slurs together eventually.
Im honestly still impressed 5x was possible with such limited weapons
