Aura of Invincibility: Beating Conquest 26 the Easy Way

[@buster1746]

If Zoran was the commander of an actual war I think the enemies would just surrender

[@Zoran501]

why don’t real generals simply exploit weak enemy AI to win every battle and achieve all their strategic goals through the power of plot contrivance

[@BackwardOutofDusk]

wake up babe, new zoran video just dropped

[@DelanHaar6]

*Clears Hero room* : Pretty impressive, and a nice clean explanation. *Clears Sorcerer room* : Neat, I've seen him do that with 2 units before but that does get everyone through safely. *Clears Generals and Berserkers* : Oh snap that was really good, I guess he'll take another turn to- *Makes Hans and his armor boys look like chumps* ...oh

[@itssilentinthestudio]

Conquest is one of the most satisfying and challenging entries in the series because of these kinds of rolling offensive tactics. It's so much fun to see this approach executed so well. Awesome video as always!

[@SvanEsch123]

It’s been too long since I’ve heard Arthur yell “FOR JUSTIIIICE!” Welcome back Zoran

[@LeoWell303]

I would love to see more videos of this style. Not having any built up "Super units" really allows the mechanics and skills being shown off to shine through. Also, love to see Strategist Elise- that's my girl!(nothing against Wyvern Elise, though) Elise not having capped magic is unheard of to me. But I guess that's what happens when you early promote.

[@wronghouse5833]

Hey that mod that makes the stat bars smaller to show more of the character portrait looks pretty sick.

*Strategist Elise* Me: Impossible

[@minhkhatran2030]

Honey, I'll be away for a while. Zoran the god just upload a Conquest video.

[@ebinku]

i like that you are not using heart seals on this video. It makes more universal to the viewers and gives us a more cheaper way to approach these maps. I wonder how much money was there saved until this map. Also, no heart seals and no children is my favorite run in conquest.

[@mr.krustykrust]

Do you allow other seals like friendship and partner seals? Or is it no seals besides master

[@NoCryinRyan]

Maybe cheaper is quite accurate; Elise needs Staves to level up and that will require a lot of money to get her to 20 just through healing.

[@ebinku]

@@NoCryinRyan Elise is the only unit that I don't worry on promoting on level 10, right before ch10, because she and odin are a great duo like that.

[@Roysanberry]

I'm so glad to see an upload from you it's always a joy. Man Leo was going crazy with those 11% crits, also your graphics mod looks really good especially the way it displays the stats. I can't wait to see more from you. Still hoping for a full playthrough tho to see you grow your units and the thought process behind it.

[@TheNuts1225]

Using bronze weapons to guarantee shield gauge gains is a galaxy brain strat.

[@cartooncritic7045]

They're a big part of the reason proc skills are bad in this game. The fact that they give genuinely good stat buffs like +10 Dodge, higher accuracy than their higher-ranked counterparts, everyone with access to their respective weapon types can use them, and they are *very* cheap to forge if you have the resources for them makes Bronze weapons some of the best in the game.

[@jerry3115]

It's just one of many reasons why bronze weapons are awesome.

[@heith1229]

I still don't understand why they thought: "Let's have the venge naginata and the spy shuriken/Yumi in a chapter where their best chapters to shine in have long past

[@Zoran501]

It's pretty lame. The spy's weapon in particular would be incredible for chapter 25-you could beat the Lunge Automata and the Spy's Shuriken ninjas by killing them on the counterattack

[@cartooncritic7045]

I do at least like putting Benny with the Venge Naginata in the Swordmaster room in Ch27 for memes. They can’t do anything to him, he gets to contribute for one last chapter before Endgame, it’s a win-win for Benny fans.

[@thef1rmament]

@@Zoran501 As someone who recently played through Conquest with Birthright units and shops, I can confirm! I was able to use tactics like crippling the ninjas with seal defense and speed by sticking Shiro right in their range, moving him out of the way on player phase, and then killing the ninjas with Takumi with a Spy's yumi.

[@arkthur0959]

The madman himself is back, thanks a lot for the guide. Also it seems that the level where Beruka promoted is not written.

[@Zoran501]

Fixed! Thanks

[@fubu72]

I always like having someone with Pass here just to snatch the golem room chest at the end without engaging any monsters. Pretty nice video, switching your frontline to countermeasure the double Freeze is a strategy I like too.

[@maagic2031]

Nothing to correct a bad day like a Zoran upload.

[@atlas9162]

The UI changes for the stats menu is pretty nice! Otherwise, thanks for the video!

It's so weird seeing a Zoran video without Sol Master Ninjas, Odin/Ophelia, Mozu and Malig Knight Elise.

[@johncuneo6723]

Neat stuff! Glad to see more content from you.

[@crumpledcard6007]

Hey man, i just wanna say thanks for providing the links for the mods you used. I never knew you could do that with citra. I feel like i'll enjoy my playthrough even better especially with the voice mod. Also, the timing of this upload was pretty uncanny since i just finished ch 25 a few days ago. Anyway, this is an amazing and helpful guide and thanks a lot for this!

[@Sariasath]

this chapter was very similar to chapter 22 for me since it wasnt too hard when i knew what to do but doing everything all over again was the main issue

[@GIR177]

31:38 I'm not sure this is what triggers them. I've had the right General move to attack a unit I had on the stairs just within their range to throw a Spear at, which triggered Hans to move and spawned reinforcements when I wasn't prepared. I think it's best to avoid his group's range altogether until you're ready and avoid a late reset.

[@rayquaza5059]

I think it’s worth mentioning that the Sorcerer reinforcements don’t spawn if you stand on the stairs when they’re supposed to spawn. You don’t need to block all 4 squares, just the 2 stairs.

[@jaredkutney7075]

This is a really high quality guide!!! Thank you.

[@jminich887]

Bit off topic but damn that texture pack looks nice.

[@michelhanson1500]

My favorite chapter in all of Conquest!!!!!

[@TheLonelyNihilego]

I feel like Lago should have vantage in this map I wish there was a mod of a Lunatic Plus difficulty for Conquest (but actually fair unlike awakening)

[@oreki8718]

vanilla team content is always so nice to watch

[@rayquaza5059]

Staff targeting is weird on this map. I noticed that sometimes they’d decide to all focus my high Res units, and I think it might have to do with positioning. Like they sometimes decide to target units that are getting closest to Iago, and since Elise was closer they targeted her. I noticed it in particular when sending a single unit off on their own. Even if I had other units in range, they would all focus the lone unit that was far more south than the others, even high Res targets like Kaze. This is completely speculation though.

[@fredportcullis]

Maybe the staves targeted elise because she opened the door? I really can’t think of any other reason

[@NoCryinRyan]

Maybe the AI thought the non-staff users could reach and kill her? I think it considers the full movement and kill potential even if there are units in the way.

[@Sariasath]

i had to skip the last room with the generals and berserkers because the basically deleted my whole team

[@BoomingInfernape]

There is an easy way to cheese this chapter. In the top room you can Entrap Hans and kill him quickly. This will summon reinforcements into the bottom room that can't reach you. If you Lunge into in the bottom room without opening a door, the non-reinforcement enemies in there won't move unless you move into their 1-2 range.

[@gligurr]

i have probably reset more times on this chapter than any other in the game

[@polymer2]

NEW ZORAN VIDEO

[@mooseyluke]

I'm not sure the point about the 2 generals never moving unless you're in the range of the leftmost general is entirely true. I was playing this map the other day and parked Ophelia with shield gauge in the range of the right one, and he attacked with Hans support. Maybe they attack because of the Warding Blow against mages?

[@kydeas4981]

Can you please share your amalgamated texture mods as a single release? Would be super cool. And obviously the video is awesome lol.

[@eyegnats]

Hype as fuck for this

[@alec2733]

A conquest lunatic without auras and rallys could be interesting to watch 🤔

[@dorothybelrose9167]

I was just wondering if you could tell me how to make my corrin have a unique great knight design similar to how Effie has a pink and silver one in this video

[@Zoran501]

That’s related to the promotion textures pack linked in the description. If you want to change the texture sets that a character uses on a class-by-class basis, you'll have to poke around in the asset files from a dumped ROM of the game using ID Editor or, I believe, some of the newest versions of Paragon. If you want to make brand new ones, you have to get into the world of repacking textures into the game's files, which is… complicated.

[@VanguardJohnson]

Any one gonna talk about that triple crit on Leo tho

[@LucasBSP]

hey Zoran as always very impressive stategy and excelent content i was wondering if you would make these kind of videos on older fire emblem games like Blazing Sword or Radiant Dawn that would be fantastic keep it up and I wish you well

[@arob3800]

you know its a good run when leo gets 3 11% crits in a row and it's still the least impressive thing in this video

[@bopeybef]

Absolutely love the way these vids are edited, what tools do you use?

[@danieljessee6404]

Welp, I can confirm that you CAN trigger Hans and the two generals while only being in range of one. Ask me how I know -__-

[@VerkatosEnsei]

Do the icon mods work on 3DS? Those look nice, and it's an improvement over the generic icons the game uses

[@arctic7465]

Who do you think are the best moms for each second generation? What are the best roles for each second generation?

[@MegaScytheman]

I'm not crazy experienced with different child characters but most of the time what you want out of a child unit is it's autolevels and a good skill combination. With that in mind, any mom in a good class set such as wyvern rider is a safe choice. I don't tend to worry too much about optimizing stats since 1. Classes with good skills tend to have good stats, and 2. Skills often contribute more to a units usefulness than stats anyway. (Outside of niche builds where you absolutely need some big stat benchmarks like vantage stuff)

[@proudherouser4069]

that 1 luck on Arthur is hard to look at...

[@MegaScytheman]

I noticed that you promoted Elise at level 10, is that normal when you keep her in a healing class? I guess you get access to her lvl15 skills sooner and her healing doesn't really suffer so it makes sense. Does she get one of your first master seals or do you prefer to promote a few combat units first?

[@jonathanlgill]

Staff-locked classes are a pain to level up. Slightly better stats don't compensate for that. I wouldn't think she's a high-priority Master Seal unit though.

[@Zoran501]

There’s not much to gain from extra levels in troubadour, and grinding EXP with staves is a gigantic money sink (and time sink) in this game. I wouldn’t exactly rush to promote Elise, seeing as you don’t get to use her in chapter 12 no matter what, but beyond that you should probably go ahead and promote her.

[@LeoWell303]

Depends on what you care about the most. I usually promote Troubadour Elise at level 20 around chapter 16(she's usually my second or third unit to hit level 20). Elise caps her magic in Troubadour early enough that if that's all you care about, you should probably promote her early, and leveling her takes staves, which take money. If you promote her early, she can provide meaningful contributions in combat pretty early. On the other hand, Elise caps her highest growth rate stats(magic and luck) so early as a Troubadour that her chances to gain other stats go up(due to the way Fates re-rolls empty level-ups, at least to my understanding), and she can gain a few valuable extra points of skill as a Troubadour(a class which actually boosts her skill growth rate by 20%), as well as speed. I really don't mind spending money on staves as opposed to healing items, so I usually keep her in Troubadour until level 20.

[@Zoran501]

That is not how the empty level reroll works: if you would gain a point in a stat that's already capped, the game doesn’t see that as an empty level, so it won’t reroll.

[@LeoWell303]

@@Zoran501 Okay, thanks for correcting me, that's good to know.
