Funny enough, it's actually pretty viable on Maddening. Mercie has one of the highest Res growths out of all the students and the Fortress Knight class certification makes her relatively tanky on the physical side (because of its minimum Def on promotion). This makes it very hard for enemies to kill her, especially since she's likely going to get doubled often. She can actually survive a Death Knight crit the first time you meet him if she qualifies for the class. Obviously, not two crits lol, nobody survives that, barring Miracle shenanigans. Personally though, I prefer to class her as Sniper because of her budding talent. Magic (specifically Black) is pretty trash on Maddening (lack of Combat Arts, low uses, no additional effects, tome weight hurts on more powerful spells), so giving her Hunter's Volley with a Magic Bow is a better solution, especially since Mercie in her base class is a unit that gets worse as you get better at the game. She lacks any utility in White magic (no Rescue/Warp plays, not even Silence or Ward for niche uses) and healing becomes less impactful as you learn all the thresholds and strats for maps.
@@LAZERAK47V2magic is by no means trash enemies have lower res then defense on average. It’s way better to be a magic class then great knight anyway since you don’t ever get at risk of taking lethal damage because of gambits. The only value of defense and res is the attacks you get on counter attack late game and realistically you shouldn’t be eating a counter attack a lot of the time. Between gambits byleth having windsweep brave weapons combat arts effective chipping with attacks outside enemy range like a mage with a range+ staff or a bow unit you usually don’t even need to worry about that. Maybe edlegard could but even then you just would prefer to reach enough avoid that everything can’t hit you. Defense is the worst stat in 3 houses late game you just don’t get hit a master class that specializes in it is by far the weakest even mortal savants and holy knight are better if really awkward. The only times you are taking damage is getting chipped by a relic to enter vantage range or using blessing on someone to get their vengeances maxed out and you don’t want that damage healed. Mercedes is just bad at using magic because of her poor faith and reason list and her stats which don’t exactly help much either but even as the worst unit in the game she’s still usable
In my very first playthrough I didn’t know what to do with Flayn because I didn’t need another healer, so I decided to go full meme and make her an armour knight. She ended up as one of my best units. If you get her the axe that pulls off her magic stat, she hits/crits like a madman. And with her naturally high res growth and her class’s high def growth, she’s a perfect all around tank.
I used a random generator to decide classes on my recent Azure Moon run & Ingrid/Flayn are my Fortress Knight front line right now til Dedue comes back. 😆 Flayn is a walking bunker with all that Resistance & Defense. 💪 Ingrid is not as extreme but still sturdy.
One challenge i plan to do again soon is the "RNG decides my builds" challenge, or what you might call a hardcore Pokemon Nuzlocke, but for Fire Emblem... The main idea is pretty simple: For every character you get, they can ONLY ever be trained in a maximum of two skills, decided by an RNG as soon as you get them. So if you get say Lance and Faith on Claude, that's the only two skills you can activly train them in during class and activities. If one of the skills is particularly useless, you are allowed to focus on just one of the two, but you can't trade the discarded one for another, only discard it outright. Byleth must be focused on just Faith throughout the game to avoid letting them carry the squad on offense. Additional rules i use include: Only one weapon on a character per mission (if RNG gave you a weapon skill like Swords or Axes, it MUST be a weapon from that skill), and magic users can't have weapons at all. I MUST use the characters who are the lowest level, regardles of their helpfulness in the actual mission. Hero's Relics are banned. Divine Pulses are banned. NO savescumming (you live and die with every choice you make!), and the house you must lead is also decided by RNG. For extra fun, i also flip a coin when i have a choice in dialogue! Combat and missions are free from there, but like in a pokemon Nuzlocke, a full partywipe means that you MUST start the challenge over from the beginning! Obviously, this isn't really a challenge for Maddening, but on Hard/Classic, this is one of the most stressful but rewarding challenges i have finished, and it took me 82 attempts to finally beat it, and i only had three characters left by the end (which sadly didn't include my chosen waifu... RIP Mercedes!)
@@meteorkaiser Just be prepared to get your ass kicked... It took me nearly 20 tries to even get past the time skip! The one thing that consistently screws you over in this challenge is the extreme lack of good advanced classes available to you, and i had times where some units just couldn't go beyond Beginner classes for the entire game... Depending on your luck, this challenge can take you literal months to complete with the full set of rules, and i don't even think it's possible on Maddening, but feel free to try if you really hate yourself... A challenge that is slightly easier to start with is the "mono-skill challenge", where you have to try and beat the game with everyone using the same two skills throughout the game, so you once again let RNG choose two skills, but now EVERY unit must focus on those two skills. I got screwed on my last attempt at this one, as i got Flying and Faith, so i got no weapon bonusses on anyone, and half my units couldn't even do damage for a few battles, but because they were the lowest level (obviously), i HAD to bring them, so it became a race to try not to get encircled, and pray to the creator above that my units who actually had Faith spells could kill everything before they ran out of charges... It was hell!
SYLVAIN GOAT My boy still killing it as an archer 😌 Btw it's so funny to see Mercedes as an armor knight. I was thinking that maybe she actually works in that class but apparently her low defense doesn't help. You did an amazing job with this video. I'm in my first playthrough of Azure Moon rn and I can't believe how you made it with THIS team. It's great
Honestly I'm suprised that I was able to clear it myself in the end tbh. I was very close to throwing in the towel, but I stopped playing for three days and when I came back i cleared it first try so that seemed to do the trick. Thanks as always for the feedback! Sylain best boy!
I did this earlier this week and my mercy KNEW she was gonna be a fortress knight so she got strength and defense on 7/9 levels before promoting to armor knight, and only got more from there.
Yeah it's funny considering although Sylvain's only real deficiency is bows, his stats still revolve around stats that an archer would still enjoy. As a Sniper, he's still potent, and his dark garb makes him look cool as heck.
Unironically Mercie as a great knight isn't completely troll because of her high res and the base defense of the great knight class, she can tank against some of the magic bosses decently well because of her res, I'm not saying it's good but it's definitely fun.
A little bit ago I did a different version of this challenge. While also limiting class options, I only allowed characters to use weapon types they were weak in (excluding authority). This made characters with no weaknesses completely useless, so Byleth’s only utility was the convoy. Really fun run to do, glad to see something similar.
@@robotdude2206 She was, but she still ended up kinda worthless. Hunters Volley Sylvain and Wyvern Lord Yuri were the goats of the run. Wyvern Rider Dimitri was also really strong. It was a really fun run.
Yea I'd highly recommend this kind of run. Really made me put my thinking cap on each chapter. With the units that dont have a weakness maybe make them into a generally weaker class like a bishop or something?
I did similar, but I’ll be honest- I really liked Marianne for no real reason so Wyvern lord Mari carried my first ever run, but recently gauntlets lysithea has been carrying every map I’ve played. Would recommend trying out if you want
@@ThatAstralSystemhis canon class is actually swordmaster. He also works better as a grappler than a mortal savant due to his extremely limited spell pool.
A fun challenge video. I think that you are right about difficulty scaling but why wouldn’t you want a super challenging final boss. This reminds me of the final section of radiant dawn where all the enemies are roided
Oh god yea thats right RD will be fun when I get to it yayyyy. I just feel like three houses messed up in their scaling cuz pre timeskip is a cake walk and post timeskip is cracked so if you arent prepared you can get messed over pretty easily.
Funniest thing is dedues weakest class is armor knight. The man's guaranteed defense growths... So there's zero reason to class him as an armor knight. (600 hours of maddening gameplay.... Priest Dimitri is honestly a lot of fun growth wise)
I’m currently doing a Blue Lions New Game Hard Classic challenge run, where I’m only allowed to use weapons, combat arts, abilities, and classes that are each character’s bane and only training students in their bane as well. So I am only using Byleth has an unequipped bait to trigger enemies to attack, since Byleth doesn’t have any banes. This means that awesome units like Leonie, Ingrid, and Ferdinand are off limits. And all non-native magic users like Dedue were also like Byleth in the beginning, just there to get hit until they could get enough training to get spells like heal, nosferatu…The first map, I just swapped weapons between the three house leads from the get go to match their banes. The second map was very difficult and I had to restart it like 5 times (since no one had any weapon/magic proficiency that I could use, since no one had enough training/experience in their bane and I kept encountering low level crit that destroyed most of my students). I’m hoping to see if I can complete the run, since Byleth is functionally remaining at level 1, since they don’t initiate any combat. If you have any recommendations on how to defeat death knight, I’d love to hear it. I haven’t figured it out yet.
mmmmm its kinda hard but the only thing i can think of is grinding mercedes lance skill enough to get that knightletter or whatever its called to demount the horse, hit him with as many gambits as you can while using the strongest attacks you have which should hopefully work but the first part is the most important. Idk if itll work with this run though but hey its an idea
Part of it was me completely forgetting about locktouch and the other part was just wanting to give myself a small extra challenge. But mainly im just a dummy who forgot about his skill oops
Lol I literally just did this exact thing with Crimson Flower! Everyone had to use their weakness, like Constance and Mercedes had Axe, Lysenthia used Lance, Ingrid has Faith, etc. It ended up not being difficult on Hard Mode, Classic, with the second to the last battle taking only 5 tries and the last one taking 2 damage. On NG BTW
Yea I kinda thought it would be harder as well but it maybe that three house units are weirdly versatile. I guess that means the other routes are pretty similar then which is good to know haha
I wanna give some advice for future videos if you don’t mind :D. You are giving a breakdown on alot of the games features such as divine pulses and battalions, when most people clicked on the video for the run, not a rundown of the game. But great idea :)
@@fropsy6110Thanks for that yea all I can do is stay commited to uploading really. I do admit I could probably put myself more out there on social media but I dont want to feel like a shill so its hard to know what to do besides from just uploading more for you guys!
@@meteorkaiser Just thought I'd let you know, I managed to beat the Red Canyon map on maddening. It wasn't simple by any means, but by starting with the Black Eagles, getting enough luck, and the tactical sacrifice of Ferdinand von Aegir, it was doable. That said, I'm not sure how the rest of the run will go.
@@OgreManGaming yea ive given red canyon a few shots on maddening and i can never seem to get though without sacrificing someone but i supposed that might have to be the game plan there.
@@meteorkaiser It helps that each house has someone with no weaknesses. Since it felt strange to use someone like that (ie Ferdinand) in this type of run, I found it to be a fair tradeoff.
@@meteorkaiser basically a fire emblem raident dawn genocide run, every enemy has to be killed with the expectation of maps where it ends upon killing a certain amount of kills
Bro underrated i started fe3h in february for my birthday since ive wanted to play it for a while and i cant put down the switch for 2 seconds this is pure talent- you should do a solo run id like to see this +1 sub!
Hey thanks so much man. Im glad you are loving the game as well! A solo run was honestly one of my other ideas when I did this run so it aint out of the realm of possibility for sure.
@@meteorkaiser Once i finish all 4 routes i want to do a route just like this one but i also wanna try a lysithea solo or byleth solo even though i will utterly fail (for lysithea solo) and a no recruit run, and an annoy edelgard run (Only use characters with crests) When i started the game i didnt know anything about any of the routes, my sister picked verdant wind, my dad did azure moon and i picked black eagles but i ended up picking silver snow (i regret it) so now im hogging the switch and my sister is stuck at the end of verdant wind while im ahead of her on my third game on azure moon
@@neptune1881 Damn thats not bad in a relatively short amount of time. I got the game on relase day but I havent played it as much as I thought I would. I love the game but the gba titles will always be better for me. I cant relate to you on the sharing of the switch part cuz my family wants nothing to do with games.
When I do my runs in this game generally I don't recruit from other houses. It's just personal preference at that point but it makes the runs slightly harder as it gives me less options to work with
* Byleth - Falcon Knight or Wyvern Lord - enhances everything good about their innate skills * Dimitri - War Master with a dodge tank or battalion wrath/vantage build, unkillable monster * Ashe - Sniper, Hunters Volley one rounds nearly any enemy * Dedue - War Master/Grappler - Grappler has a nice mastery * Mercedes - Gremory or Bishop - Bishop is a better healer but Gremory gives her reason spells more juice too * Annette - Dark Flier or Wyvern Lord - Annette has mid faith options so Gremory is wasted, Dark Flier gives her tomefaire and more speed to play with. Wyvern Lord takes more effort but she can be a deadly mixed attacker when you have consistent access to magic axes * Ingrid - Falcon Knight or Dark Flier - enhance her dodge-tanking abilities or utilise her balanced offensive stats and decent magic list and have fun * Felix - War Master or Sniper/Bow Knight - 4 attacks means 4 chances to activate his crest, his high strength also makes bow knight very fun * Sylvain - Wyvern Lord that also runs Lances - swift strikes is great
I hope I remember to come back to this video because I love challenge videos but I haven’t done blue lion route I’m currently on side with church black eagles then doing blue lion new game + maddening

I think I decided on doing three houses after making a couple of decisions. First was I really wanted to replay it anyway so I thought I would make a video out of it. The second reason was probably ease of creation, since I didnt have to mess around with an emulator. Dont worry I have more stuff planned soon. I think figuring out something for 4 and 5 will be hard but I am sure ill think of something.

I mean I'm always open to suggestions so lmk!
@@meteorkaiser basically a fire emblem raident dawn genocide run, every enemy has to be killed with the expectation of maps where it ends upon killing a certain amount of kills
I haven’t gotten past the first few minutes but if demitre or Dedue aren’t changed into dancer I will be so disappointed
Im so sorry, I failed you
@@meteorkaiser it’s okay the cutscenes are hilarious if you force them to compete though
@@seanmaddex4104 That sounds both awful and fantastic at the same time. Ill have to try it sometime.
omg i did this once in BE! a lot of my units ended up being mages unfortunately jdnzn
Bro underrated i started fe3h in february for my birthday since ive wanted to play it for a while and i cant put down the switch for 2 seconds this is pure talent- you should do a solo run id like to see this
+1 sub!
Hey thanks so much man. Im glad you are loving the game as well! A solo run was honestly one of my other ideas when I did this run so it aint out of the realm of possibility for sure.
@@meteorkaiser Once i finish all 4 routes i want to do a route just like this one but i also wanna try a lysithea solo or byleth solo even though i will utterly fail (for lysithea solo) and a no recruit run, and an annoy edelgard run (Only use characters with crests) When i started the game i didnt know anything about any of the routes, my sister picked verdant wind, my dad did azure moon and i picked black eagles but i ended up picking silver snow (i regret it)
so now im hogging the switch and my sister is stuck at the end of verdant wind while im ahead of her on my third game on azure moon
@@neptune1881 Damn thats not bad in a relatively short amount of time. I got the game on relase day but I havent played it as much as I thought I would. I love the game but the gba titles will always be better for me. I cant relate to you on the sharing of the switch part cuz my family wants nothing to do with games.
@@meteorkaiser My sister and dad love video games but my mom- if she knew the hours on the switch that we had
wed be dead
Why did you not get Ferdinand and Raphael even though your weee training heavy armor
When I do my runs in this game generally I don't recruit from other houses. It's just personal preference at that point but it makes the runs slightly harder as it gives me less options to work with
I was going to do this play through
I think Felix should've been Holy Knight since he has a budding talent in Reason that becomes his strength, but oh well.
What are their best classes though? Im struggling
* Byleth - Falcon Knight or Wyvern Lord - enhances everything good about their innate skills
* Dimitri - War Master with a dodge tank or battalion wrath/vantage build, unkillable monster
* Ashe - Sniper, Hunters Volley one rounds nearly any enemy
* Dedue - War Master/Grappler - Grappler has a nice mastery
* Mercedes - Gremory or Bishop - Bishop is a better healer but Gremory gives her reason spells more juice too
* Annette - Dark Flier or Wyvern Lord - Annette has mid faith options so Gremory is wasted, Dark Flier gives her tomefaire and more speed to play with. Wyvern Lord takes more effort but she can be a deadly mixed attacker when you have consistent access to magic axes
* Ingrid - Falcon Knight or Dark Flier - enhance her dodge-tanking abilities or utilise her balanced offensive stats and decent magic list and have fun
* Felix - War Master or Sniper/Bow Knight - 4 attacks means 4 chances to activate his crest, his high strength also makes bow knight very fun
* Sylvain - Wyvern Lord that also runs Lances - swift strikes is great
I hope I remember to come back to this video because I love challenge videos but I haven’t done blue lion route I’m currently on side with church black eagles then doing blue lion new game + maddening
Maddening is one hell of an experience so I wish you luck when you get to that!
Personally prefer Sniper over Bow Knight due to the Class Skill having massive range and damage.
F Annette ):
I’m just sitting here with brawler lysithea, meme builds are my favorite.
More of this video type this is quality content, but why one of the weakest entries in the Fire Emblem series?
Couldn't go Path Of Radiance, FE12, FE14 Conquest, Radiant Dawn, FE7\8\4\5?
I think I decided on doing three houses after making a couple of decisions. First was I really wanted to replay it anyway so I thought I would make a video out of it. The second reason was probably ease of creation, since I didnt have to mess around with an emulator. Dont worry I have more stuff planned soon. I think figuring out something for 4 and 5 will be hard but I am sure ill think of something.

@@meteorkaiser I would suggest something like only foot unit; only units with a specific starting weapon type (like only units using Axes at base); forced promotion at LV10; cavalry only; 1st chapter units only; only item healing challenge; only units with a type of hair colour + Lord; only 1-2 and 2 range units + Lord.
@@UA-camIsAwesome I will definately keep these in mind whenever I decide to start working on 4 and 5 for sure. Currently liking the axe only idea but ill keep the others in the back of my head for sure thanks so much!
@@meteorkaiser Well not really chapter 1 only units or axe only, there is so much possibility after all.
You could also try iron weapons only, no forged weapons, pre-promoted only + lord, low-tier units only etc...
The characters you listed don’t use dark magic but instead use black magic, which are two different things in this game
love the thumbnail hahaha
