Can I beat Fire Emblem 8 Without Taking Damage?

[@silentstorm5757]

In this run Seth gets hit once during the prologue and decides "never again"

[@clairevoyantarachnea]

Garcia: I left the army to care for my child. Shark3143: Wrong, what you should have done was make the entire army all your children.

[@thunderknight4149]

Fire Emblem Engage's villain in a nutshell (and potentially your army in awakening and fates)

[@Neefew]

I was shook to see the Demon King have only an 18 hit against Neimi

[@Crouton-]

S tier unit

[@vixouu7925]

Neimi is the real best unit in this game

[@Flametix]

40:12 Shoutouts to Neimi hitting 3x effective damage on Morva with the humble longbow. I liked the whole Neimi experience but I always appreciated dracozombies having a natural bow weakness as another justification for bows in the last chapters.

[@david000rafael]

Imagine if Seth and Eirika do a high five at the end of a chapter and she takes 1 damage

[@lukaerd6258]

knowing both of them, Seth would crit Eirika and kill her in 1 shot.

[@MinoriGaming]

Just a note at 32:46 The canon reason magic units can traverse sand easily is because they're wearing robes and carrying books and sticks around. The sand is a lot less troublesome than say, being on horseback while decked out in armor carrying 3 swords and a javelin.

[@FuriousHaunter]

In fe 9 or 10 it is stated that mages can move through the desert easier because they have sprites that clear the sand for them.

[@panwp123]

I have to say, sonething changed on youtube lately, and in a month i was suggeested like 5 under 5k subs Fire Emblem channels, and they all have beem execlennt. Im glad to add you to that collection.

[@Luzeldon]

I normally don't watch these types of videos because the answer is obviously yes, as long as the enemies don't hit for 100%, a damageless run is always possible, it's just a matter of resetting until you get the correct luck. This video though, strategizes properly to minimize randomness, and planned for the endgame from the very second chapter, making me stick with it to the end. Clicked for the Neimi, stayed for the strats.

[@FormerMoonGod]

In doing research for my channel's traffic sources, I happened across your video. God damn this is fantastic, and unintentionally it kind of legitimized Neimi despite tier lists forgetting her early join time, growth potential, and ability to gain a mount. Even with the most intentional means of trying to stay objective, I wonder how many people just pushed Neimi down because she cries "too much". For real, this was a great video.

[@Shark3143]

I think tier lists often have a small bias regarding high investment units where conventionally good growth units are given the generous assumption of multiple statboosters in addition to XP funnelling (Vanessa gets ranked S tier a lot w/ these assumptions), and units that have serious flaws like Neimi have to deal with the Opportunity Cost allegations and are evaluated without a high-investment playstyle in mind.

[@ericamborsky3230]

I think it's more the lack of reliable 1-2 range options. Also, rangers only have 7 move. At least they have the nomad terrain movement costs.

[@sommeone]

Something about the line "take out the swordsmaster with a longbow from across the eastern wall" really tickled my brain... It sounded weirdly poetic and strategic at the same time

[@redwolvlives]

A surprisingly good quality video. The like of which would fit comfortably with videos from well know FE content creators.

[@TheCheeseMovesSideways]

For a first time Fire Emblem challenge video this has way too good quality, not that it's bad thing. I love the way you explain things and your voice is so relaxing to hear amidst all the mass murdering -Seth- Neimi is doing in the background, you're way too underrated my guy

[@Gamersoul1]

Absolutely agree. I really enjoy the way you talk and explain your strategy, you have great potential.

[@CaptainAstronaut]

NEIMI GAMING!! Flip the Tier Lists, this is definitive proof she's an S Tier Unit

[@Mekkkah]

Neimi is very funny

[@Not_Alanius]

Neimi good in Ranger

[@JustsomeKid93]

Holy crap Louis it’s mekkkah

[@imnotnarcian]

🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@kRx1203]

2:20 Honestly? My favourite joke I've heard so far this year.

[@percyfreaks]

YOOOOOOO!!! I just witnessed Lv8 Garcia gaming. I didn't think it was possible.

[@NovemberJoy]

This is actually a pretty good video, gotta say. I didn't realize Fomortiis was that inaccurate, or that Neimi could accumulate that much Avoid even with supports! Maybe I'll have to find a game to try this in or something...

[@poku7129]

wow, usually i dont like long videos of gameplay, but the strats made me stick all the way through. you actually went in depth into what you were doing instead of simply playing. Absolutely loved it, i hope we get more like this!

[@ninjaexperto7217]

Finally, a playtrough in which Neimi is useful.

[@90kalos1]

This was an amazing playthrough and i love that Neimi got a chance to shine. Ranger is one of my favorite classes despite its weaknesses

[@JonoabboFE]

What a banger video, great stuff. Neimi hitting max level right at the end of the run to take on the boss was beautiful.

[@Marksman18V]

So happy to see neimi shine

[@Roysanberry]

This was a lot of fun to watch and I enjoyed your commentary quite a bit. Chapter 13 looked like a lot of fun to figure out, also you made Neimi seem like the best unit in the game. Easy sub.

[@vini64]

I started playing FE games last year, finished the three GBA games recently, and I try to never read about which units are the best and their stats and growth rates until after I finish it. Because of that, Neimi was actually part of my main squad until the very end of the game, which I bonded with Artur and Garcia for support. Indeed at first it felt like it was pretty hard to get her to land hits and get level ups, but I persevered and by the end of the game iirc she got to lvl 10 promoted. So yeah, Neimi good!

[@katherinepearce7079]

Glad this appeared in my recommended! An excellently done video and run, pouring one out for my girl Neimi

[@isuckatgaming1873]

The pegusi and other reinforcements at 21:20 spawn because you recruited marisa. Honestly, I've never tested it but it may be more opportune to just kill marisa if it doesn't spawn them in

[@icantthinkofaname6397]

Incredible video! All the work and strategy that had to go into this run was very impressive, and I'm surprised how good neimi ended up being! I love how playing the game in a different way can bring usually useless characters into the spotlight

[@mariem8666]

Bruh, this is sick. As someone who’s played probably hundreds and hundreds of hours of SS, I love seeing people really dig into the mechanics and showcase what the game has to offer with fun and creative challenges like this. Great video!

[@brysonskaar3070]

Nice work man, fun to see strategies to mitigate dmg taken to the extreme. And Neimi how clutch haha

[@dustgraystone9448]

Neimi the Woundless strikes again.

[@BAIGAMING]

Great work on no damage. I would have never expected Neimi to be so good!

[@ericamborsky3230]

23:05 I love that little "tactical S.W.A.T. team breach" those monsters do.

[@mirageowl]

honestly, yeah. that was def worth subscribing for. what a run :D

[@TheNachmar]

I would do all of those things you asked for at the end of the video, but you dissed my girl Neimi at the beggining. So you'll have to settle for a like she earned when dealing the final blow with such artistic flair

[@Penguin1535-p7b]

In my first play thought of scared stone, I got a neimi that level up strength so much that she cap Strength at lv 20 archer and became quite a strong Ranger.😂

[@gundamkaizer6947]

I saw my girl Neiimi on the thumbnail and clicked on the spot

[@Antifrost]

If FEH ever releases Rearmed or Awakened Neimi, I think we just found a source of inspiration.

[@975IzKai]

Interesting concept, I am always on the lookout for content creators that can make long videos interesting with their voice and "simple" editing. Subbed!

[@Benjamin-dw7rp]

Yo good vid mate Suprising amount of effort put in to what I thought was just some random youtube fe8 suggestion

[@zenmaster8]

I was shocked to see a video so high quality from such a small channel. Keep up the great work. Loved the jokes

[@GeoSage1137]

Pretty solid video, very enjoyable. Not much more to say, but I want the algorithm to see people liking this vid

[@disclaimer7603]

Great narration, I know almost nothing about fire emblem and enjoyed the whole thing. I can see you getting popular. That final boss scream cracked me up 🤣

[@BadAtFireEmblem]

You stole my video series! Nah only joking, you wouldn't have seen my videos and theres only so many ways of playing sacred stones, you cant get annoyed if more than one person have similar ideas 😅 You did such a good job with this video, it was so well put together and i loved all the jokes. Definitely makes me scared for the rest of my playthrough though, theres some horrible chaoters to come! Looking forward to seeing what else you create 😊

[@calemr]

My immediate thought on seeing this was "Hey, that's a longer video. Did BadAtFireEmblem finish and edit it all together & I missed it all somehow?" Maybe you should try the Ephraim route instead?

[@BadAtFireEmblem]

@@calemr that's really funny 😂 I'm slow, it'll take me a while to finish it :P

[@BakaBaka8146]

As a viewer at last we get twice as much content. Can't wait for your next episode

[@BadAtFireEmblem]

@@BakaBaka8146 fire emblem content can be kinda hard to find on KZbin, but there are some great creatures out there. As I said, this video from shark is super well done so hopefully they'll produce more videos like this 😊 And I'll keep trying my hardest, I'm definitely scared of some of the upcoming chapters though

[@sutai1s72]

I'm going to be honest, I just played fe8 for the first time recently. I used Neimi and genuinely thought she was really good for a normal run. I didn't even promote to a ranger, I went sniper. Hearing how she's considered bad and then seeing her become one of the most valuable units for this run was really fun.

[@throwbackgaming3867]

Im using this as a guide for my own no damage run. I would love to see more of these for other fire emblems games.

[@silentstorm5757]

Amazing run! Loved the commentary and editing.

[@MystFox1314]

Fun fact: the soldier in Ch1 is not random His action AI is set to only attack units who he starts his turn in range to attack, and his move AI changes after turn 1 On turn 1 he does not move On turn 2 onward, he will move Meaning it is fully impossible to participate in combat wth him on turn 1, and on subsequent turns he will not initiate combat unless you leave a unit next to him

[@15690asdfg]

this video really showcases how strong supports can be

[@Gerb8029]

This video was. Now do this for every single fire emblem game in the series 😁

[@touyakami1406]

If you truly wanted to torture this man, all you need is to ask him to do this for the dawn brigade

[@halcyon_echo42]

Always love to see the ranger class promotion get some representation 👌 All around a great jaunt into the old haunts and utilizing supports, effective damage, and staff rank beautifully. Please try FE7 or FE6

[@Shark3143]

I've already completed FE6 No Damage Taken and I've started editing it down! (Give me a couple weeks or so)

[@dakodajones5266]

Very interesting and fun video! Subscribed, can’t wait for more vids from you

[@DarthMizaru]

Glad to see BG3 already has penetrated our minds.

[@craigrandall4553]

@17:22 Neimi: "And I took that personally."

[@obliviouschipmunk6539]

This seems potentially super frustrating lol. Good video!

[@edealgard]

really good video!! lots of hard work put in :)

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

COMMON NEIMI W 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Awesome video!!

[@mrRoy150]

Well played. Have my sub and a forehead kiss! xD

[@crittomato7043]

17:23 Neimi took that arrow personally :D

[@maddcat7920]

Damn it’s challenges like this that make me want to pick up fire emblem again

[@MarkofWisdom]

Neimi may suffer from being a GBA FE archer, but I still like her a lot because of her fire affinity and access to ranger for 1 range weapons. She and colm have always been a nice duo to use and get a lot of extra damage and crit between the two of them

[@ThorianSaga]

Neimi Gaming. Good video, I love self inposed challenges. Is the esence of life

[@sphere-lite]

loved the video, great work!

[@emmetth3726]

Thank you for not doing Valni that could have made this run so much less epic Great vid!

[@Core12054]

Nice video, good sir

[@tyler2325]

This the kinda content ya need

[@logi878]

This was such a fun watch

[@nicholasingram9979]

Shark, Love the videos. Keep it up! I've been listening to your FE videos at work. Please keep uploading so I have more to listen to during the day. Thanks

[@zacharypalmer5056]

Impressively done!

[@PenguinWithInternetAccess]

I think this is the first time I've seen Neimi being used, let alone the boss abuse in her joining chapter lmao, good job tho

[@boomerangfishcb]

Hey! That’s the noise Joey Kuras made!

[@ScootsLounge]

Small note, the rng used in the GBA games forward until Fates uses something called "2 RN". It's basically exactly as you described it, you just used the wrong name. "True RN" is the one used in FE1-5 where the displayed hit is exact, meaning a 90% has a 10% chance to miss. And "Fates RN", the one used from FE Fates onward, uses True RN for 50% and lower and 2 RN for 51% and higher.

[@Shark3143]

Depends on who you ask. Good 'ol Serenesforest documents the 2RN system under the name "TrueHit" and that name has been in the community for quite some time. Also I think Engage uses Fates RN but Three Houses is 2RN?? I didn't look this up but it sounds true in my mind palace

[@ScootsLounge]

@Shark3143 thinking on it more, yeah I mightve been wrong on the names. 1RN is Fe1-5, 2RN is Fe6-13, and Fates RN is 14-present, with True Hit being the actual hit of 2/Fates RN (i.e. 93% shown is 99% true). I believe 3H uses Fates RN, but tbh I haven't looked that into it myself. But I know SoV uses FatesRN, and so does Engage. It'd be really weird if they just swapped back to 2RN for one game lol

[@Flametix]

@@ScootsLounge 3H does use 2RN, and the brief switch is probably because it was made by Koei Tecmo instead of IS. Fates/Hybrid RN above 50% also doesn't use 2RN exactly but involves a sine function that ends up with lower hitrates than 2RN.

[@Kirbycrasher2746]

Good job, i hope you try this challenge on another fe game, maybe even go through the roy games next (binding and blazing blade)

[@Kmosely42]

I always felt like Seth's weakness was that he started off good. Which meant his late game stats are suboar compared to fully slow promoted units.

[@NotRealAkira]

Unfortunately if you compare averages, he ends up being just as good if not better than a lot of units even if you promote your units after 20 levels, he only actually slows down in the post-game because stat caps actually matter there

[@notsogoodbassplayer]

No units were harmed in the making of this video

[@Red_Nokia_edits]

Neimi had reached ultra instinct 😂

[@Reluxthelegend]

7:20 Ah so fire emblem players are spared from the Xcom experience

[@essayenjoyer]

Obligatory "seth yook damage in the prologue" comment. great run!

[@Jdozjsnwj783]

You're the first KZbinr to ever mention that thieves have 100% chance of digging up hidden treasure. THANK YOU

[@yoannmarchesse988]

Tis a very good video man. I wonder if the taint was necessary, to be fair seeing the last stretch, it may be

[@Hainser]

Based neimu user i always train her while playing FE8 and she destroy everything in her path lmao

[@hypertane]

Great video keep it up dude

[@TheBalthassar]

I used to run Neimi back when I played the game because I thought she was cute.

[@GMKGoji01]

In my defense, the best way to beat FE8 without taking damage is simple; Just pair Syrene with Gilliam! Because they’re indestructible demons in FE Heroes!

[@DragonKing-bv9td]

great job man keep going

[@BeardedKenyan]

Damn man, impressive.

[@409bagbager4]

Pretty awesome run

[@evanherynk5863]

I don't care how sub-optimal it is. L'Arachel will always be in my squad.

[@Erikk_is_Tired]

TF is the tier list on the right at 8:13 smoking? Knoll is probably the best supportive unit in the game. He can immediately promote to summoner, the best support class in the game upon recruitment and even has access to an earth seal on the first map he's available.

[@spectralim]

Goodnight sweet dreams

[@chrismolina2145]

There's no way you missed the opportunity to make the " O R I C A N U S E T H E W A R P S T A F F " reference from bismix at 24:00 😭😭

[@yarion4774]

Sooo, this is basically a run where every character has 1 HP and you really hate to lose any character. :D

[@evilmurlock]

7:05 Uhm achtualy, it doesnt weigh the probabilities toward the expected outcome. Expected outcome of 5% hitrate is that you hit 5% of the time. It instead weights probabilities to what the human things is probably going to happen.
