Can You Beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones Only Using Amelia?

[@kratosmvn_]

*EDIT* - Made a Mistake at 11:21 - Knight should have 0 MOV and +4 CON & Cavalier should have +3 CON... Sorry about the major delay in between solo runs! This has been an extremely busy summer. Thank you all for your patience, and hopefully you enjoy the video 💛 Who should I do next? Let me know!

[@MDocD729]

Most will say Knoll, but I think you should L'arachel. I'm not sure what rules you'd need to change to make it work, since troubadours can't engage in combat. But I think it would be fun to explore.

[@kiilgore806]

I think a solo run with some of the creature campaign exclusive units could be cool. See if a unit that has the opposite problems as trainees can clear it. (starting out stronger, but less levels to gain.) Although, because this is for rating units that are usable in main game, might be better for bonus episodes lol.

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

I don't think Amelia is a bad unit at all; it's just that she's level 1 @ chapter 9, you have 12 turns to get to her before she despawns, you also have to contend with wave after wave of stuff going through her area; there is a f*cking myramon with a Killing Edge that will aggro you if you try to drop Erika outside Amelia's attack radius. Then you have to get make sure Erika and Amelia both make survive the Fighter aggro. It just seems like the game itself hates Amelia. I'm doing a solo run with her and after the first half of Chapter 1... i never had any problems with her after that. In fact, after 2 she's wrecking house now. Amelia seems to suffer from shitty environment more than anything else.

[@heartnet40]

I knew Amelia was going to do well as a Paladin. Her early start is indicative of a bad unit, but unlike Ross and Ewan, her more generalized stat spread allows her to have no real weaknesses in the long-term, especially since Speed is king in Sacred Stones. I'm curious to see how a Great Knight playthrough with Amelia goes because getting access to more powerful weapons and more strength sounds like just the edge Amelia would need to break into S-tier, but I am also not confident that this boost in damage will be enough especially in the end-game versus the Demon King.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, that's true about her stats she does have that going for her. I'm also intrigued about GK and General might do another video later addressing some of that stuff!

[@smievil]

she wouldn't get the helmless ponytail as a great knight though

[@PublicNMEno1]

Commenting from post-Chapter 1 so far: I feel like Amelia has an oddity in this run. The prologue is such a wall for Amelia that she has to be RNG blessed to even start the run, which all but ensures a better-than-average Amelia for a completed run.

[@Jared_42]

18:04 Taking into account True hit, the 83% chance is actually a 94.39% chance meaning you miss 5.61% The odds of missing twice are: 0.0561 * 0.0561 = 0.00315, roughly a 0.3% chance of occurring. What's even funnier, is that great shield triggers off of the opponent, meaning that there is only a 4% chance of it triggering. (As far as I'm aware, it only takes into account the unit's displayed level, otherwise it would be a 34% chance, but let's assume it only takes current level into account) 0.04 * 0.04 = 0.0016, a .16% chance of occurring twice. Taking them both into account, 0.0016 * 0.00315 = 0.00000504 ...or a .0005% chance of missing twice AND having great shield trigger twice. (If my math was correct) Feeling lucky yet? 🙃

[@kratosmvn_]

Ooof, thanks for the maths on this LMAO. WOW that is so unlucky, but it made for a funny moment.

[@MegaphoneFranke]

Since it’s well-documented knowledge that Seth can (perhaps even easily) solo this game, it’s not surprising at all that another paladin can do the same once they start snowballing. I definitely thought the prologue would’ve been just about impossible for Amelia though!

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, after the prologue and chapter 1, it was pretty easy to know it was gonna happen beyond that it was more of a question of how long it would take.

[@Fungi127]

I think you should do Joshua, because he's a pretty fun character to play with in this game. Also Gerik would be cool, he comes with his own promo item.

I love both of those characters and would love to try them out at some point!

[@chesterite74]

Gerik was always my go to in this game. And hated how he never saw any love in any future games as dlc/extra characters. One of the easiest choke point tanks and triangle breakers for any playthrough.

[@jasonfox6932]

If you are allowed to struggle anywhere, the prologue and last map should be the only ones for a consistently good unit. Very curious how great knight would have done since those higher caps would have seemed to have made a big difference and access to garm what with it being garm and all. Great run and glad to see Amelia do so well.

[@kratosmvn_]

I agree! I think the GK may have had a worst turn count overall, but I think the final chapters would have felt a little smoother probably.

Honestly pretty glad you went paladin on Amelia. I like to make her a general but we've already seen a great knight and general run with Franz and Gilliam so finishing the recruit line with a paladin keeps it fresh

Aaahh, the insistence of the gba fire emblems that all physical female units have noodle little arms is an endless source of frustration.

Glad to see she did well !

[@kratosmvn_]

She has a fun training arc and I feel the run showcased it pretty well! It is an awkward mechanic of the GBA games for female units.

[@1killer911]

As you hit all your stat caps relatively early, I feel like general would actually have really shined just due to the stat caps. yeah, you move slower, but with all the boosters she should still one shot most units lategame.

[@windhelmguard5295]

​@@kratosmvn_ getting through the knight levels is where it's difficult because she can't reliably dodge, two hit or one shot mages with javelins. by the time you get to general however she can do all three of those things due to better stats and because hand axe is better than javelins.

​@windhelmguard5295 Promotional gains are the only stat differences in stats for this game since there are character but no class growths. Her stats are really not that different besides move in either class

[@raynmanshorts9275]

It turns out you were slowed down, not by Amelia's movement speed, but by the low strength cap of Paladin. I'd like to see you try it again as General or Great Knight to see if the extra strength makes a difference.

[@kratosmvn_]

I think the movement on map would have made it a wash at the end of the day because in the mid game maps I saved a lot of time. I may revisit this in the future, but we'll see then and there.

[@davidgardner6677]

that prologue was brutal

[@kratosmvn_]

Yep, toughest part of the run.

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

After my first Amelia solo run, I hacked in a Fort in the Prologue and gave Seth of Franz's vulneraries, and turned all the inital enemies other than the closet one to "Do not move" so they don't attack Franz/Gillam while Amelia solos them (because bringing Iron Lance/Vulneraries she needs in the middle of fighting sometimes drags them into it, this way I can cleanly solo and get meds/equips without them having to come over).

[@kirbonoir]

my first playthrough of sacred stones I trained up amelia and made her a great knight to try and get her some defense but it didn't work. So I essentially had a great knight who reliably dodge tanked everything in the endgame and she also hit pretty hard she wasn't a bad unit it was just funny to see a great knight dodge tanking

[@kratosmvn_]

The physical tank being actually a dodge tank isv very funny 😅

[@meltdownremix1996]

Man that beginning was Tough... Probably one of the hardest starting chapters you can possibly have in one of these, I assume only someone like Ewan will be having this much trouble when you get to it. General Amelia rules, of course, but yeah in the context of soloing all these maps, cav movement is hard to argue with. So glad to see my girl get her flowers like this and barely suffer in the endgame.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, the huge hurdle was the starting chapter and then it simplified. She did great even as a Paladin I'm sure as a GK or General she might have been better in certain aspects.

Wow. Your patience are over 9000. I myself had successfully turned Amelia into a walking fortress, but that only happen after i got to the tower.

[@vijayklein]

Btw when fighting Draco Zombies in the final chapter, they only have 5 move. So with any class that has >=8 move post-boots, instead of healing right next to it after the chip enemy phase and hoping for a dodge on the next enemy phase, you could get out of its range while healing, then kill it the next turn with the sacred weapon, guaranteeing only one healing item used. Obviously doesn't work when you need two turns of chip (like this run with no crits). But if you get a crit with the first chip (like your first run of the final chapter, and presumably many of the later failed attempts before you ditched the strat), it means you're guaranteed a 1 healing item kill :)

[@MarkofWisdom]

I do enjoy using amelia because she makes a fantastic general with the general's absurd stat caps, but also realize in regular gameplay she's possibly the single worst unit in the game, or at least the single hardest to use I think breguet was relatively easy to beat since your amelia was very strength blessed-it she was on average, she'd only be doing 2 damage per hit, and it'd be extremely hard to be able to take him down with the healing the gate provides I would have suggested making amelia a general for the access to Garm that it gives, though great knight would also allow access to garm. But cavalier for access to swords will make the early maps much, much easier. I think paladin is what I've seen most recommended if you're doing a 'regular' run (i.e., no grinding and no overleveling type run) since the extra mov is really important, and she gets enough constitution to use most lances without too much penalty even as a cavalier Tirado...how annoying with those great shields, wasting like an extra 2-3 charges on the armorslayer possible future run idea-compare the different classes each unit can become, and see how they fair against each other, with the trainees having the most possible variations with 4-5 each-Ewan getting top spot with 5 possible classes: Sage, Mage Knight, Druid, Summoner, and Super Pupil

[@kratosmvn_]

She is a fun unit to use for sure, despite her lacks in her stats. I would have liked to try general, but that might be for a future video. And that comparison run idea is pretty good yeah! I might think about something like that.

[@mirkwood579]

I have always liked Paladin Amelia. Even when I first played Fire Emblem, I hated that knights were only 4 move, so they didn't get used much until I played Roy Story, where Bors is actually pretty helpful sometimes. He still got dumped eventually though because I love using both Christmas Cavs.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, in the later stages of the game justifying low movement knight/general can be really hard as the size of the maps increase by a lot.

[@jamesmiller5277]

An important thing to consider when looking at recruit growths is because they get 9 more level ups a 35% growth over 47 level ups is comparable to 43% growth on a regular character. This doesn't always make up for recruit base stats, and does nothing to make up for the time investment grinding mid game recruits up, but its easy to lowball a recruit when comparing lower base stats and 'lower' base growth rates. Also wow that prologue chapter was rough XD

[@fadeleaf845]

I'm struggling to find more bad characters because so many in Sacred Stones end up in similarish stat spreads if you level them up and collect the stat boosters. Rennac has low growths, a swordlocked class that isn't very good and not great bases either, but he uniquely comes with the Member Card that allows him to pay to win by just buying all the stat boosters to cover his deficits. He'll still need an option for ranged attacks in the Gorgon Chapter though.

[@kratosmvn_]

Rennac will be an interesting run. I do have a bunch of ideas for future runs of characters that are too similar to another. To be fair, if the run itself seems like almost a repeat of another character the onus is on me as the creator to make it an interesting story for the viewer nonetheless, so hopefully I can keep interesting for y'all ;)

Thank you, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them :D

27:10 You could just ignore the zombie dragon after baiting it. 10 movement is exactly enough to get outside its range, provided it doesn’t give chase.

[@kratosmvn_]

You know what... that's really smart. I can't believe I never tried it lol

[@mikkelgravsholt4693]

I’m not sure how useful it is now though, with you having finished with Franz, Amelia and the Christmas calv. And while it is a good idea, I would be disappointed if you do a run were Seth would be the on cavalier to not face the Zombie Dragon.

[@KiwiiPuma]

Cavalier is the play, access to both swords and bettee mov right away should be enough. I think S ranking Swords was also the play, Vidofnir is the worst Legendary weapon (not considering Glepnir) and S ranking also grants you more Hit Rate and Crit rate to the swords.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, I really think it all made the right difference in the end.

Something you could consider to factor in or add in a "scientific" list would be time per turn, so you could more easily put a finger on how many turn were actually just Waits or something similar 😊 Overall fantastic videos tho, finally catching up ❤

That does sound like a good idea. I'm glad you got some time to catch up! 🥰

[@oliviergagnon8719]

Ive been waiting for Amelia for months, she's been my favorite character since the game came out!!!

[@bad_ill5626]

You have a ball to make Amelia solo run lol. I tried it once and immediately give up on chapter 1 coz my Amelia have no good luck against the bandits lol I guess it's time for our boy Knoll to shine after all of the suffering he endured

[@kratosmvn_]

Once you get past the start it isn't that bad I feel, but agreed it can be pretty tough lol

[@Palindome]

I've recently started playing sacred stones (I recently started playing fire emblem games in general) and when I used Amelia for some reason she was a crit machine. Her crit rate was only around 3% but for some reason she just kept on getting them

[@nappacomehere]

Thank you for this content I didn't know I needed until a week ago

[@kratosmvn_]

I'm glad you enjoyed the content and decided to follow the channel for more :D

[@JC_Stone]

Cavalier/Paladin Amelia goes against literally everything I stand for, but… If optimization is key, it is an acceptable decision to make. That sheer skill issue from Tirado has to be the spirit of Armor Lovers everywhere punishing you for your choice though.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, the sheer global hate for not going General was channeled there

[@HitsujiMamoru]

I was looking forward to the next solo challenge! Glad it was Amelia's turn^^ I like this girl!

[@kratosmvn_]

Thank you for watching and I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to them :D She ended up being pretty bonkers, ngl.

[@HitsujiMamoru]

@@kratosmvn_ Good pick on the Cav too. As funny as it would have been to see giant mech pilot Amelia (let's be real, she is piloting that, not wearing it lol), I think it would have made the second half of the game even slower, and I'm not talking about animation speed.

[@kratosmvn_]

Lol, yeah giant Mech Amelia would have been slow in the late game due to her movement for sure.

[@grimgar1569]

Definitely was waiting for another one of these to drop!

[@kratosmvn_]

Happy to see you're excited for this. Hopefully you enjoyed the run!

[@Baine53]

I think you should do someone like Colm or Naomi next. You've had it too good lately

[@kratosmvn_]

Hahaha, probably. This was meant to be a challenging run, but it didn't turn out that way lol

[@CobaltContrast]

That General joke level difference was like night and day! 😂😅

[@Majo_Ellen]

My Amelia was a Paladin with a badass ponytail. >:) Based choice.

[@kratosmvn_]

Hell yeah Ponytail Paladins are the best! 😎

[@Byssbod]

Amelia being the cutest little general is why you have to go general. Its a no brainer!

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

Okay, I just did a second run with Amelia solo, and actually gave her *all* of the items I could get without bringing in Non-mandatory party members. She somehow ended up objectively worse than my first run... because she was down 10 luck points when she was 10/20/20 General for a total of 20 Luck; Amelia average Luck at that level is 30, and I even used a Goddess Icon on her... I got petrified a lot by the Gorgons and took a lot more hits from Shadowshot/Demon Surge that i did my first run. I had to get creative with Garm (i S ranked Axes this time), because apparently speed is the determining factor for resisting stone. I lost twice in there 2nd run when the first run I one-shot the gorgon cave thanks to True Hit(TM). Oddly enough... 2nd run she went her first 5 levels without gaining a single hit point; only for her to have 46 hit points right when she turned General before i got to the first Angelic Robe at Chapter 8... no seriously. Amelia had the same hit points as she should have 20 levels above her and with Angelic Robe she capped @ 15 General. She exchanged 12 hit points for 12 Luck points... Luck is supposed to be her best stat and I play Fire Emblem that much but that stuck out so much... I'll attempt a 3rd Amelia solo sometime latter.

[@kratosmvn_]

Dang, that second try Amellia got luck screwed that's very weird!

[@korinomeku5957]

Always choose Cavalier/Paladin for Amelia, because it's the only one where she has a unique sprite. It's also nicely showing off her growing up over time.

[@vaneorman101]

NOW, The moment you have all been waiting for.... O'Neill solo run!! (A new and intresting way of self tourture!!!!!!!) (pls)

[@vaneorman101]

Also warrior helikopter for funni.

[@kratosmvn_]

LMAO the GOAT himself O'Neil!!!

[@spagandhi]

Weve gotta have the Knoll run soon, summoner gaming from that early guiding ring onwards.

[@Koppu1doragon]

Honestly the single thing I'd change to make Amelia not be a meme unit in the actual game is. If you visit the house she leaves the torch in with Erika she gets recruited in chapter five.

[@kratosmvn_]

That would boost her up as an interesting project unit for sure.

[@GGMK2002]

I honestly think you could make this easier for yourself if you gave the sword trained units access to Sieglinde and lance trained units access to Siegmund just in case their other weapons break.

[@kratosmvn_]

Yeah, that's not a bad idea, but I don't think making the game easier (at least for FE8) is that necessary.

[@chaosvolt]

I still feel like General is a good choice in terms of long-term bonuses because that table shows a +3 in HP (equal to Great Knight), +2 in strength (higher than the other options), +3 in skill (also highest), +3 def (beating the others), +3 res, etc. Combined with Great Shield this overall seems like you get the most advantages towards raw damage (something vital to whittling down bosses solo in the long term), the best survivability bar none (hard to beat a chance to take zero damage), better accuracy and dodge plus having a way to get weapon triangle bonuses no matter what. I suppose skipping out on tedium in exchange for a less survivable character is a good reason, especially since you've got to deal with editing the video and putting together videos, but you definitely have to accept that the biggest draw of passing over General is that you're maintaining the Trainee spirit by taking thebigger challenge.

[@kratosmvn_]

Arguably for the easiest result you're right that General would be most likely better, but one run with a general feels enough for me, first time took long enough to complete , but it just goes to show that Amelia performed really well cause she even got it done as Paladin which is the worst of the 3 choices.
