Dude I did this map on a no special seal run (can only use master seals for promotions) and it was the absolute worst map iv ever done. People who say birthrights is easy I swear did not play this map or the end game legit

Can't believe this run is finally almost finished! I actually love the opening phase of this map when you're fighting against walls of powerful enemies who are flanking your army. Not a huge fan of the Entrap stuff, though.

I’m astonished at how good Sakura has become. I don’t think I could pinpoint the exact moment she became a juggernaut, but it’s a treat to see.

Damn you have some good as music taste, gotta go listen to these songs sometime

Real ones remember the clip posted by Bleugh in his server of Corrin getting hit by a 6% Crit from a 20% hit Tomahawk.

Reinforcement spam is probably my biggest beef with Fire Emblem games. It doesn't make the game harder, just more tedious. When you have a setup to counter them and their spawns, they are effectively just time sinks. Later games even give them a skill that prevents you from obtaining Exp from them, meaning they literally exist to just be an annoyance. I'm not against reinforcements being triggered by player progress, those make sense from a lore perspective (calling up reserves, setting an ambush, etc.), but when the chapter spams enough units to form an entire army on their own, there's a problem (Camilla's chapter in Engage had so many units, the game literally starts dropping frames). I hope later installments claw this mechanic back. One of Engage's biggest flaws was precisely this problem, so hopefully the devs took note and decide to scrap this mechanic.

As someone who recently did this chapter I don't blame you for speeding up through the reinforcements haha...(gogdamn this chapter wore me out)

Redgh when

I love awakening birthright

31:53 first documented use of golem bane

25:25 I mean Sage in awakening gave tomefaire and thats Onmyoji in this game. I guess the real issue is why didn’t they make it the S rank class

This level SUCKS

this map sucks

Sakura is the legend of this run.

34:16 "You think you've won?" "... Yes.", a flawless finale conversation.

10:12 is that the famous critting Tomahawk Berserker I spy(s yumi)?

My favorite awakening chapter

new bluegh (god this map)

13:30 I’ve never noticed Orochi standing on top of the fallen building like this!! Someone get her down from there omg she’s gonna fall

I think Mozu is fairly easily the worst unit in Birthright because at least the other candidates mentioned (Setsuna, Hana, Hisame, Selkie) give meaningful stats on pair up at base that allow others to contribute even if they can’t. Hana and Setsuna are almost definitely better at this as really good early speed pair ups for units like Silas or Saizo, but that’s not to discount how Hisame’s personal +2 def regardless of his mother is really nice for female gen 2 carries like Mechanist Mitama even in Samurai (but especially so if changed over to Oni) and Selkie provides an effectively immediate +6 Spe pair up at C support in Ninetails which is appreciated by units like Shiro or Midori. Mozu by contrast just gives Skl, Lck and +1 Spe at A support, so her support role cannot make up for her poor combat until she either is Heart Sealed (and just is worse than Setsuna) or grinded up to Merchant which like is fun but so much effort for a dedicated backpack when an Oni gives Str/Spe for much less effort.

Dang, I forgot how short this map is (in turns). A lot of the enemies are dead by like turn 4 before the wyverns all start spawning.

My proposition: Ebon wing and fire on elise immediately makes her good.

Gotta say, you really changed my mind on vantage mages with this Rhajat. I never tried it because my mages could never kill in one hit (or with a dual strike) so they would always end up dying, but on my recent Conquest run I thought “fuck it” and invested a shit ton into Izana. Married him to Corrin with a cavalier talent to get him luna and then got him vantage and life and death and he became a menace, especially after getting tomefaire as well. It became entertaining to just throw him in a pool of enemies and have him one-shot everything in sight. It became especially hilarious because he crits and procced skills a lot and his crit lines are completely unhinged💀 All this to say, invest in Izana y’all it’s worth it. He did better than my Elise!Ophelia with the same skills bar luna and tomefaire but with a higher magic cap.

2:23:31 the reason you’re all here: the marriage tier list

Swap Used!

I beat this map on hard a few days ago. It felt impossible at first, but got way more managable when I struck the balance between playing less defensively and not overextending.

how do you use the custom textures

Glad you managed to get this video out Bluegh, now go get some rest, and do some other fun things to help the with the burnout :)

The Hades II music sure slaps

Hans as a villain is big time "Yoooooou kiiiiiiilled me!" "Good." energy.

Greengh content when

I didn't notice, but now that you mention it, even with having a huge late game paralogue chain, yeah you still aren't all at level 15 promoted. I guess apart of this is that you are using most of your units in some way to get their friendships or romances but Birthright's EXP does feel low. I wonder if that's another reason why people graviate to just Ryoma soloing the late game. Another edit but I know it's something that Fire Emblem does often, but it's still weird that Hans just has a random shuriken and they just take that but leave the Brave Axe like... is it cursed or something just take the damn thing,

I do kinda like this map because it feels a bit like conquest. Other than that, i just wish the enemy level curve was a bit higher, even if it meant to make the map more difficult

new bluegh

Personally didn't enjoy this game as much as the original, LM2 kind of takes you out of the immersion of exploring a haunted mansion and instead feels like you're doing E.Gadd's chore list. I think the reason they went with this direction, rather than the more open version of the first game was because of the multiplayer and it's a bit of a shame they didn't separate the two.

How is the remake so far? I havent played it yet

Why does rhajat get the shrine maiden skills on promotion????

0:15 "Rocks are like stones"

Honestly I love Arthur and Effie fr. There may be some retainers I like better individually, but as a pair Arthur and Effie fit so well together. The way they interact with each other and Elise is so much fun and so cute. Maybe it’s because they appear to be quite a bit older than Elise, but they really feel like her protectors. Much more so than the other retainers who appear to be the same age as their liege.

Jokes on you, I was flaming in the comments over the dual shuriken before you said not to flame you

All the promoted enemies and it's still c18 promoted stats in rev, if that lol

Why’d I decide to return to this series with this dog ass map

I never realized you didn't have to kill Effie and Arthur. Even though the game hinted that Elise could talk to them, I assumed she'd have to do it directly.

So, is this map or Engage's version worse? Personally, I think Engage is *FAR* worse, simply because it combines all the frustrating things Engage's game design has: Reinforcement spam (most of which are annoying fliers) Painful map design (unless you're fielding an entire team of fliers) STRAIGHT UP FRAME RATE DROPS (From having too many units on the map) And eventually, the reinforcements stop giving exp. They aren't even worth farming.
