CRASHX500's Top 10 Underrated Fire Emblem Units (10,000 Subscribers Special)

[@Milkmouse1966]

I LOVE Cherche, I had the biggest crush on her in Awakening (which felt weird to me, since I hadn't figured out I was bisexual yet, but I think Cherche also helped me figure that out). The fact that she's very feminine, but can also kick ass, is my favorite thing about her. "Oh we're going into battle? Let me finish cooking dinner, then I shall crush our enemies!!"

[@davids3094]

I am happy you find cherche loveable and that she helped you figure out your sexuality, but why is femininity opposed to strength and why is cooking a female only thing?😂🤷🏽‍♂️

[@medusathedecepticon]

That's adorable

[@pokefan7446]

Really? People find Stahl forgettable? He's more memorable than...wait, what was their name again? Callum, Kelvin, Kevin?

[@Underworlder5]

i like stahl as a character, but probably because i can relate to him. we both like food, we have similar hair, his personality is very realistic (despite being average to the point of absurdity) and my favorite color was green at one point. i like kellam as well, mostly due to him ironically being memorable by being forgettable, but also but because i have a strange liking towards tank characters despite my lack of patience. yes, i did not join in on the joke because frankly, it gets old after a while

[@samcase9328]

Finnley Ellis I believe the name you're looking for is Kellam.

[@richardwilliams6676]

Pokéfan 744 I actually used Stahl a lot to the point that I find him better than Sully *and* Frederick. Also, the Kellam joke is getting old.

Marcus back in 2003. He got soooo much hate back then, but then after a few years people realized "Oh wow he is actually really useful in hard mode and speed runs" so now him (Among most Jagen's) are quite popular.

[@evicteetori8738]

I can't believe people thought nino was good for anything other than the exp rank

[@coryfusting9294]

I realized Marcus was useful the first time I played through Hector Hard Mode the first time, the maps against Darin and the one where you have to protect Merlinus being extremely difficult without him. I didn't have a choice but to use him on those couple maps. But you can go through Normal mode just fine without him.

[@thepsyshyster]

Thank you for mentioning Stahl, Cherche, and Nyx. I'm not the best tactician, and I'm one of those people who got into Fire Emblem with Awakening (I have been playing FE7 recently), and I never stopped using Stahl and Cherche once I got them. I also always used Nyx in Conquest and found that she was very useful paired with Benny. Great video!

[@magoichi75]

Thank you! I'm tired of peri getting put down on because of their personality. I've always had her as my top units used!

[@arobin3266]

rinkah brah Everyone doesn't use her because of her strength stat even though she's always had higher defense plus her supports with other characters are really good

[@CrowDaFoe]

Finally someone who understands.

[@liberator-san4700]

I actually agree with this... cause like even if I don't use Peri, I still acknowledge she's there and wow there were a lot of times when I was like "I should have trained her instead of the other character!" in Conquest... but yeah even in Birthright, like I don't use Rinkah cause for me... I found her a bit too slow for my taste... but worst of all... I completely forgot that she was there when I got Mozu... but yeah... I think she is way more underrated than other characters.

[@athanasiosdemertzis8847]

The thing is that Birthright is really easy and units like Ryoma and Takumi who are monsters in Player Phase, are more focused in offensive / rushing tactics and thus are more preferred to units like Rinkah or Oboro.

[@liberator-san4700]

Actually I used Oboro a lot in Birthright... I didn't use her in Revalation cause of the Royal Children..

[@linkedheart5653]

Idk why I just hardly use her in my birthright runs cause it's a little too easy and I hardly ever find myself needing to hold a line with someone other than Oboro.

I think Jeigan is a pretty underrated unit. I mean, sure, he is absolutely crap, but he really helps on the early chapters of Shadow Dragon on harder difficulties. Also, he actually leaves enemies with low HP so I can train my other units *cough* Seth *cough*.

[@LittleAl016]

Except Jagen's not "absolute crap" at all. And you yourself said the reasons why. He's very helpful on the harder difficulties in FE11, and can go on for practically forever in that game thanks to forges. Not to mention, his FE 1 & 3 counterparts can go on forever in their games themselves thanks to stat boosters giving ridiculous boosts in FEs 1 & 3.

[@tahamohammad8842]

I don’t see jeigan as crap because while his growths are crap, so is the entirety of FE1

[@dragonblaze201]

I know mangs it hurt us all.

[@theastrawolf217]

Well it is an underrated units list, and many people (I am not one of them) say Wendy can become decent enough. But hey, at least there is no Sophia on here.

[@hughmann4307]

I prefer Simpson and vomit over her as she was NOT MEANT TO BE AN ARMOR KNIGHT

[@Mangs1337]

For a unit to be underrated, it would need to be a unit that a lot of people think is bad, but is actually good. Fe6 Marcus is a "underrated" unit, because a lot of newer players think he's bad, but in fact he is by far one of your most important units, at least on hard mode. Wendy is not underrated, in fact she's very overrated. A lot of people think she is good because she's an Est, but in fact she is complete and utter unplayable garbage. This list is trying to say that Wendy is a somewhat decent character. She is not. Anyone claiming Wendy is good is just objectively bad at Fire Emblem.

[@HarpieKing]

Great video as always. Been looking forward to this one :)I didn't know Peri was actually so hated. In Fates she's in my top 3 (Maybe 5) but number 2 is Charlotte mainly cos her voice actress is just absolutely perfect for her (Possible future top10 best voice actors in FE?) and number 1 has got to be Izana. He's just too funny :D

[@ShiroShouten]

Kinda funny you mention Nyx, she's one of my favorites. I never had a problem with her and she has great support, and in my playthrough, the strongest of all Magic users.

[@curiousgerado197]

What was her final stats looking like, because her growths say fuck everything that isn't Magic or Speed. (No harm)

[@ShiroShouten]

+CuriousGerudo Her final stats were... HP 39 STR 7 MAG 43 SKL 20 [though my Nyx loves to crit] SPD 35 LCK 11 DEF 13 RES 28 I know not fantastic but I also paired her with Odin and gave her duelist's blow, seal strength, life taker, shurikenbreaker, and astra.

[@curiousgerado197]

+Shiro Shouten how did you get her to 39 HP with a 30% HP growth rate, lol.

[@ShiroShouten]

+CuriousGerudo RNG favored her hp

[@bonojethroperdiguerra4437]

I also love nyx, idk why they think she's underrated or useless. She's my top magic user. I leveled her up to 20 then change to a witch and mostly she became my tank because of her speed. She almost dodge and do crit all the time :). In my experience.

[@trenttroller2242]

I'm so glad you added Cherche on the list I thought I was a the only person who used her and that surprises me because she carried most of my team in my first play through of Awakening

I find it funny that almost al, the characters mentioned on this from games I've played (excluding peri and sumia) are some of my favourites, especially stahl and cherche. Great video by the way.

[@jonahgarson491]

When I saw Peri on the list I was like 'Wait… she's underrated' Peri is a unit I use a lot in Conquest and Revelations

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

Yeah most people tend to hate Peri because of her personality at face value, but don't bother looking past the initial impression or try her out as a unit.

[@LittleAl016]

She's basically inferior, gameplay-wise, to Silas and Xander. By the time she joins, on Conquest at least, she joins when Silas is already promoted and shortly before Xander joins.

[@0axis771]

I don't think its that. I think its that people, myself included, don't like that she's being passed off as a Henry 2.0, when Henry is by far the superior in terms of depth and personality. Sure, Peri had a traumatic past, but her inability to differentiate between right and wrong honestly does not come even NEAR to Henry's reason, because for him, he had no one to actually teach it to him. Henry was abandoned by his parents, and was more or less raised by animals that he loved, but to any humans that raised him, they were horrible people. Peri still had a father, but rather than actually trying to stop Peri from murdering servants, he just tries to hire more with higher pay? It just seems unlikely. If he had no intention of helping her, then he might as well have sent her to some reform school or something.

[@XellosNi]

Apparently, there was a time when Wendy was regarded as the complete opposite case because of Est Fever. And then people actually tried to use her.

[@pearlgalaxy]

[@mmicb0b]

Camilia is OP if he was referening to Nyx I whole hartingly agree with him also where the heck is Sue from Binding Blade I would've asked where Sophia from Binding Blade but I forgot you saw her the same way I say Nyx

[@dragonblaze201]

Sue and Sophia aren't underrated units. Sophia is a horrible unit with horrible bases and joins at level 1 in chapter 14 , Raigh joins 2 chapters before her with better bases, a higher level and Niime can do everything she can do with less work and starts off with A Rank in Dark magic as a pre promote. and Shin ends up being better than Sue due to HM bonuses which make his bases better than Sue at a lower level.

[@mmicb0b]

Emmanuel Mark I said it 50,000 f--king TIMES GIVE HER A BODY RING also I don't play on Hard mode

[@dragonblaze201]

Why would I give a body ring to bad unit when I could use it on a better unit. Also giving her body ring doesn't solve the problem of her being outclassed by two other dark magic units who are better than her in every way,

[@stephenbentley7314]

[@troykv96]

Probably has something to do with her personality.

[@samcrumpit3081]

Ikr. She's soooooooo bad. Really looks bad on his credibility

[@troykv96]

I can't say anything about Wendy's character because I don't know a lot about it... but, she definitely is one of the worse characters in the series (Her game is particularly cruel with its balance, where is very clear which characters are good and which are bad... unless you're Noah or the Mid-Game Snipers, right here the opinions about its usefulness actually varies)

[@nachohangover5104]

+Louie Leon Sophia can at least attack at range better and targets the lower of the two defenses. Plus she gets you a guiding ring. Plus her movement is better. That's more than anything Wendy can provide, who is a squishy knight that joins in axe land.

[@ari_anon]

Whenever you upload a video, I get super happy because each and every one is like a nugget of happiness :D You totally deserve 10,000 subs! Here's to the journey to even more!

[@Ocsttiac]

I have to respectfully disagree with your points on Wendy as a unit (say what you will about her character). You earlier joked about how "worthwhile" it is to train Sophia, Sothe or Fiona. The same applies to Wendy: A lot of effort for middling results. Heck, you seem to hate Meg despite she has almost all the exact same problems. In comparison to the other two Armour Knights (let's forget about Douglas for now), Wendy just measures up worse for what she is. Bors, for example, comes earlier, has higher or equal base stats than Wendy (except Luck and Resistance, two arguably unnecessary stats for Knights), and has growths that favour his class more. Bath is just a wall; solid defensive bases and growths that ensure physical survivability, though he's crap at everything else. Wendy may have the highest growth rate total (of 290, Bors at 285 and Bath at 267), but they focus more on Offense which I think for Knights are ultimately unnecessary. Armour Knights are better at holding points and taking hits. Killing is not their goal; leave that to the other offensive units. Not to mention, as you said, she comes in way too low to even bother babying up, and appears just before the Western Isles... a haven of axe-users. You want a powerhouse to baby up from the exact same chapter for better results? Lilina. Though this isn't even mentioning Wendy's biggest problem that she shares with the other two Knights: Movement. FE6 is all about large maps, fast action and turn limits to get the best ending. With the Knights lugging behind and contributing little in comparison to faster foot units and mounted units, there's no place for them. As much as I enjoy using Bors, he becomes obsolete very quickly. After all, Milady can tank hits just as well anyway. ... Anyway, you want a truly underrated FE character? Olwen from FE5.

[@theastrawolf217]

He hasn't played Thracia yet but I highly agree with you there. Early games really shat upon knights. Probably the most underrated unit for me would be FE10 Sigrun.

[@Ocsttiac]

SuperSonicLucario 01 I wish he'd hurry up and play the Jugdral games. Those titles deserve more people playing them. While I appreciated Sigrun in FE10, she didn't seem to hold up against the other two Seraph Knights... and Elincia. Marcia was just badass through and through, while Tanith was not far behind with her power, and Elincia has Amiti so she's set. Sigrun sadly seemed a little underpowered compared to them, but still performed well. At least her Triangle Attack contribution is very much appreciated.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

If it makes you feel better FE4 is the next fire emblem game i'm playing... BUT! After playing fates three times in a row, i'm exhausted from playing so much fire emblem, so i'm in no hurry to play it atm, plus there are other games I want to play first

[@theastrawolf217]

Yeah, don't forget Crash that the most recent translation is the Bookofholsety one. I have recently finished FE4 and much like you, I need a break on Fire Emblem. My next game will be Fates, followed by the last FE game available that I haven't played yet, Thracia 776

@@TheKabuto90 lute doesn't get the Slayer skill, and both l'arachel and Natasha are healer's making it difficult to train them and they probably will not even be able to use ivaldi because they have to use staves until they are level 10+ and even than Natasha dies to anything fisical and l'arachel appears in a part of the game Where you're probably beginning to promote most unit's and I'm not even going to talk about Ewan

[@glowstickofdestiny1290]

*Very Long Rant Incoming* Okay, it goes without saying that you have the right to your own opinion, but I find attempting to justify Peri's character with Jaffar and Henry also being alleged psychopaths is EXTREMELY unfair to those characters. Sure, they all seem to have some sort of antisocial personality disorder, but that does not define them. It is the IMPLEMENTATION of this aspect that defines them. (Admittedly, I haven't read EVERY support for these characters, so my information is still incomplete. I'm going off of what I've seen of them.) Jaffar does not enjoy killing like Peri. He doesn't kill just to amuse himself. He is assigned missions, and carries out those missions. That alone doesn't make him a better person, as he still has a massive body count, but that's where character development comes in. His character arc is that he has long since buried his emotions, and is now trying to dig them back up with Nino's help. He's never shown to regret all of the lives he has taken, but that is a long process and he at least shows some restoration of his humanity in his supports. Furthermore, he also works for an organization of assassins and not the royal family of a country. Henry is a legitimately nice guy who was raised in the wrong environment. He's a jokester, he loves animals, and if he sees someone down in the dumps, he will try to comfort them (albeit in his own... unique way). His macabre obsessions, as far as we can tell, are a result of the Grimleal raising him. Again, this doesn't really justify his behavior, but his genuinely nice attitude and violent behavior create a very stark, and rather sad, contrast. It should be noted that he DOES enjoy bringing pain and death, but I never said these guys were saints. Peri, though? She is outright NOTORIOUS for regularly slaughtering Nohrian villages for fun, when again, SHE WORKS FOR THE CROWN PRINCE! The SAME crown prince who arrested Hans HIMSELF for the very same things! What's more, nobody tries to actively prevent her from doing so, outside of a few lectures in some of her supports. And when they DO try to teach her that she can't keep doing this, they always fail! Even Leo, who is known to be both very smart and very blunt, just gives up and accepts this as a part of her like it was just a bad lisp or something! Don't "accept her for who she is" when who she is is a danger to YOUR people! I'm sorry to be so harsh, but she DOES NOT belong in your society, especially in such a high position as a retainer to the future king! Now you're probably thinking, "Well she DOES learn right from wrong eventually, as we see in her credit ending". Okay, it's good that she got there eventually, but there's still a problem with this: we don't SEE any of it! We do not see the process of this, nor the end result. It is nothing more than an informed attribute present for all of ONE paragraph. To be fair, she WAS raised in a bad home if I understand correctly, something about an abusive mother? Anyway, this IS tragic and does give some explanation to her attitude. I will concede that. This can negatively affect someone's state of mind on a severe level. But, Jaffar and Henry were both in similar situations, and it is still a negative to all three of their characters. And this isn't even mentioning the fact that she starts crying her eyes out the very MOMENT things stop going her way. Anyway, that's probably more than enough for now. As I said, I don't know everything about these characters, and all three of them are less-than-stellar people. However, I do most definitely find Peri to be the worst written of them by a LONG stretch.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

I get where you're coming from and over time I have begun to see more flaws in Peri's character (granted I still like her) since some of her supports are really bad and make her very one-dimensional and otherwise irredeemable like Xander's, Leo's, Felicia's and Benny's. Also she wasn't abused by her mother, in fact she loved her mother a lot, but when she was young one of the servants killed Peri's mother while she watched, and from that day her father would make her kill any servants that stepped out of line without any repercussions. I think Peri's biggest problem is that she written very inconsistently, since like I mentioned before some of her support make her out to be just awful, but others like with Kaze and Kagero show of he more upbeat, childlike and innocent side, and ones with Niles and Laslow shed more light on her backstory and paint her to be much more tragic (in fact she has a considerable amount of character growth in her Laslow support). Those are the types of conversations that ultimately make me like Peri's character, but the big problem is that her bad supports outnumber them so I will always understand why people think Peri is a terrible character.

Mk so Tharja and Henry are arguable. But Peri legit nearly killed Felicia in a support, like actually lost it and couldve killed Felicia. I like everything about Peri but her personality, bc her mental issues are never really curved or helped until the endgame summary :/

[@Busterman64]

...you know, while reading partway into the support, in my head I was wondering if Beruka would mind taking up a new contract if something happened to Felicia(who I married)... I know that kinda sounds horrible, but......there are limits and Peri was pushing one...

[@CGrascal]

Her support with Laslow called out Peri uncaring attitude towards killing which caused her to think about herself and her past, which resulted with her coming to understand Laslow a bit more and the same for him

[@StealthDoctor]

Peri was an amazing unit in my first Conquest playthrough, but I cannot deny that she is a horrible/mentally shattered individual.

[@lordviggo5]

[@linkedheart5653]

In her two endings when married she learns what right and wrong finally (meh never really liked this ending) or when she is not married she is out in charge of the Nohrian army and she loses her cruelty from becoming a strong leader. Her alone ending makes develops her character WAY better then her married ending.

[@michaelsnow3536]

THANK YOU for defending my dear wifey Peri. It took a few tries quite honestly to get her to be good enough for Conquest but eventually I just gave her the Paragon item from Anna's gift and that had her shoot off to rival Xander in power. Personality wise, I honestly find her cute and endearing, if not a little emotionally broken. The obsessive killing thing is not my favorite shtick but it more or less makes sense within her backstory and it's not like it's her ONLY character trait. Her childishness indicates a lack of proper parenting which again makes sense and she's also an A Grade cook. Plus her B Support with Kana is absolutely adorable.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

Well thank you very much I'm glad you like my work, and by guest-narrate do you mean collaborate?

[@Joeypals]

Yes lol. I know my channel is tiny (like REALLY tiny) and I only have two FE videos so far (both on Fates, Royals and Non-Royals), but Fire Emblem has taken a pretty recent and strong hold in my heart. I've only played Awakening and Fates admittedly but I absolutely love the depth and characters that the series has from what I've played, considering I usually only play Pokemon and Kid Icarus aha. Anyway, enough about me. For the Fates and Awakening characters on your list, I absolutely agree. I married Stahl with my Female Avatar in Awakening... twice (he's such a sweetheart like I caaaaan't) and he's just the sweetest guy, but everyone seems to overlook him. Nyx is pretty easy to ignore because of her glass-cannonness as well as potential outclassing from the mages in the game, and Peri just drives people away because of how she is. I personally love Peri because she reminds me of a Harley Quinn-type character, except with a little bit more bloodshed. If I were to add anyone to your list or Honorable Mentions section, it would have to be Say'ri from Awakening. From my time scrolling around no one really seems to talk about her because of the epicness that comes before her in the form of Lon'qu. Despite the second part of the game placing some focus on her, I personally never saw a use for her because of Lon'qu being promoted and a higher level than Say'ri at that point. However, by no means is she bad. She somehow manages to outpace Lon'qu in HP Growths (90% vs his 80%) with higher defense growths in exchange for Luck and Speed. This overall makes her a tankier unit, which is never a bad thing at all. However, because of when she comes into the game (Chapter 15 out of 25) and because of Lon'qu being there, as well as other sword users such as Chrom, Anna, Gregor, and even Olivia being very nice and trained team members when Chapter 15 comes around, she often gets buried. tl;dr Congratulations on 10k mate, I'll still be calling you CrashX500 when you grow even bigger.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

Fire emblem tends to have that effect on people because it's so damn good even if it's the newest games you play, in fact it wasn't until awakening that I truly got into the series (though sacred stones was my first fire emblem game). Thanks for the congrats and feel free to call me CRASHX500 for as long as you like, no matter how big this channel gets

[@chikin8895]

Mangs tho

[@samcrumpit3081]

Theres like 0 competition. Besides Mangs, Ghast, and the actual best, Etika.

[@ryouhonoo5]

Great video, I love all of the characters you talked about, even if they aren't all the best units in the game.

[@user-unos111]

My personal underrated character will always be Gonzales.

[@Kodiak_P]

I feel you.

[@ScipionNyshade]

I think I couldn't agree more on your list. I love most of those units too, especially Perri

[@gregster1016]

Oh god, I can't believe you actually called Wendy good! She's is GOD AWFUL and is sure as shit not worth training. And her being the "best" of the three armor knights in Binding Blade really isn't saying much because none of the armor knights in Binding Blade are good, but if I am gonna use one of them, I'll just use Bors since he does have more time to be trained than Wendy!

[@LittleAl016]

+Gregster 101: She's not even the best among the three Armor Knights in that game.

[@royalhistorian5109]

Well for me I don't even know why but I can't hate Wendy no matter what. like I know her growths are bad but for some realize she always get crits like 80% of the time and her Personality and backstory is way better than the other two knights. In fact for me she manged to take a good amount of damage for my team. But it just my option.

[@kingdyste5289]

Well then, Mr. Knight, glad to see you found that Master Seal you needed! Congrats on 10,000 subs, and a fine vid to give us for it. Oh, I LOVE Tanith in PoR. Reinforce is such a unique and awesome skill, I sometimes bring her for chapters for it alone. Plus, I like her supports with Oscar (who is almost always my #2 unit after Ike himself), so she gets even more reason to be on my team. Nah's probably my 3rd favourite child unit after Lucina and Inigo, Legault's my favourite thief in 7, and I've taken Aran to RD's Endgame twice. As for me, units I think are underrated are Janaff & Ulki (probably the best two non-royal/heron laguz aside from possibly Ranulf, and Janaff in particular has some funny supports), Frey (shame he's the canonical sacrifice in SD and you can't get him if you play on harder difficulties, since he was actually my #1 unit in my first playthrough), and Duessel (another prepromote that can hold his own, and a great character who should've played a bigger role in Ephraim's route).

[@tdawg7764]

Wait, people don't know Nah? She was better than Nowi!

[@joshuapineda8708]

Thanks for the Cherche support Crash. Seriously. She's one of my fave wyvern riders in Awakening. And my god is her relationship with Virion sweet AF.

[@johnfrank3575]

I finished Awakening last night. It's so much better than Fates in every way.

[@okey7281]

guess you enjoy broken games then

[@Morgan-jy7qo]

Except fuck no

[@sugme1098]

+okey. I only found it to be broken if you use the second seal system which is optional.

[@johnfrank3575]

Okay. Maybe Fates is better in terms of the DLC prices

[@LittleAl016]

Fates has the better reclass system.

[@tdawg7764]

Congrats mate, been here since 300! Btw Lowen is by far the most underrated character. He has strong defense, solid attack, and can still double.

[@jhart6764]

I do enjoy the taste of blood. Yep I'm not normal.

[@LordMawile]

Same

[@coffee9146]

Mmmm... Nothing beats an ice cold glass of blood in the morning.

[@bestzora7612]

I do too. Sometimes I bite the inside of my cheek, and suck out the blood for the flowing coppery taste.

[@ZerkMonsterHunter]

well, here we are. 10,000 subscriblers and a decent rebrand. well done man, well done. It's been quite the ride, watching 350 become 10,000. a friend of mine messaged me the other day when i hit 50 subscriblers and he said "that's 50 people who liked your content enough to say they wanted more." that's 50 people who I have never met, never spoken to, and know nothing about, who all liked what i put out there on the internet. It's rather humbling when you put it like that, and I think this is a mindset you've had since the beginning Crash. congrats man, and thank you for being an all around cool guy. if you ever need a sober second opinion, let me know. also, the art at the end there, did you draw that? if so, good job, it looks really clean. P.S. i am now convinced Peri is a Bloodborne character lost in a Fire Emblem game.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

It certainly has been quite the ride and it was a great time all the way, and thank you for being there since 350 subs, also yes I drew the artwork at the end.

[@Amberstorm1999]

10. My boi, I love Stahl, he's my 2nd favourite 1st gen unit and my 3rd favourite character in Awakening 9. Nah. Seriously, Nah, I just don't really care about her much 8. Hell no. I'm playing through Sacred Stones for the first time and I got Syrene yesterday and I just could not use her because her bases are so bad seriously 15 Spd for a FalcoKnight while Tana had 25 Spd with only 3 levels higher 7. I agree at least until you get Ophelia and she proceeds to dunk on everyone 6. No comment. 5. No comment 4. lol she's not underrated at all, at least from my experience all my friends and anyone who played Awakening I talk to talk about her all the time and think she is a great unit. 3. I'll simply paraphrase Mangs "Stop trying to justify Peri, if you take joy in killing people, you are a monster, stop defending her" 2. No comment Honourable mention: Maribelle's cool though I never used her, no comment, no comment, Sumia sucks, Erika is a weak lord IMO stat wise 1. No comment

[@Amberstorm1999]

I meant to add weak character wise to Erika as well

[@sugme1098]

+AmberStorm. That's really fucking awful for Mangs to say.

[@sofaris576]

I dont really see a problem with blood thirsty Characters. I really like Hades fore example and he puts Peri to shame when it comes to blood lust.

[@benhartje7552]

AmberStorm You realize that Karel is basically the same character as Peri. The both love blood and killing equally. But no, Peri gets all the hate even though they are the exact same. I think the only reason people hate so much on Peri is because she is In Fates. If she was in any of the gba games she would not get nearly as much hate. Because as we know the gba games are 100% flawless and giving even fair criticism to them is blasphemy. I am not hating on Karel either I freaking love Karel. He is one of my favorites from Blazing Sword.

[@reversecard5851]

Ben Hartje Uhh, you do realize Karel is only like that in FE7, right? Oh, and Karel is actually quite different from Peri aside from them both being killing machines in their own right (Karel in stats, and Peri in personality... well, I think you know what I mean).

[@HeeminGaminStation]

Oh cool I'm a "Radiant Subscriber" along with MsAbi, yeah she's super cool and has left uplifting comments on my channel too, I also recognize the Benjamin Shaul. Cool to see you changing it up. I really liked you calling it a "Class change"

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

Indeed you are Heemin and yes MsAbi is super cool, we have a lot of cool discussion on many video's. Also I just HAD to do the whole class change thing, that master seal was just begging to be used.

[@darkrider243563]

Where's the love for Gonzalez?!

[@legionairesunny5507]

I can't wait to see what's here!

[@legionairesunny5507]

Interesting choices! I love Peri myself and Nyx. I don't use them too much but both have save my but during Conquest.

[@legionairesunny5507]

And also congrats on 10k subscribers and yay class change!

[@darthr0xas363]

+Emerald Mimic Yeah tell me about it, I used Nyx like 3 times.

[@Acsilverfish360]

Nyx is actually part of my conquest strat for chapter 10. Get Bow Breaker and Tomefaire from UL, then send her down to EAT Takumi.

[@daddyrobin4628]

My hand is ready

[@ChubbyRoseQuartz69]

What about Geitz? Dudes insanely fast and rather powerful, comes with a killer axe, cool character, good weapon ranks, and probably honestly the best warrior In the gba trilogy. Also he's sexy as fuck

[@ChubbyRoseQuartz69]

+Lugh Is Best GBA Mage OK TBH both geese and Geitz are too sexy for Elibe

[@hughmann4307]

+Lugh Is Best GBA Mage Okay forget about Lilina, Lute, Artur, Saleh, Pent, Natasha, L' Arachel, Erk, Lucius, Serra, Ellen, Clarene, Ewan, Knoll, Canas, and Raigh but yeah you're pretty good too.

[@hughmann4307]

+Lugh Is Best GBA Mage Nah fam Erk Is LEGEND, and lugh is outshined by lilina

[@bladehero8490]

why are knoll ewan canas and l'arachel on that list and where are levin ced and asvel

[@ChubbyRoseQuartz69]

+Bladehero I'm pretty sure they're only talking about gba mages. Also I found L'arachel to be pretty good, I always liked her.

[@ImPallasAthena]

Not the one I voted for, but I can always expect a great video from you, Crash

[@UnemployedWorkr]

I actually like Legault more than Matthew and Jaffar

[@Aster_Iris]

Agreed. Nothing against Mat or Jaffar, I just like the speedy grape better. Now, personally, I don't like the Thief class that much. Frail, not very hard-hitting, and I'd rather buy my goods than swipe them. But Legault can actually hit pretty hard, and I really like his laid-back and surprisingly friendly attitude in spite of his profession. Plus, that 70's/80's garb. The guy manages to be both retro and ahead of his time all at once.

[@UnemployedWorkr]

AsterOrca If you want a really good thief, check out Colm from Sacred Stones. A+ thieving. Also Chad from Binding Blade is fantastic until you realize thieves don't promote in that game. Up until people started promoting he had one of the highest strength stats in my party

[@LittleAl016]

+Kevin Cizek: Thieves could promote before Binding Blade, though. And Parn, a Rogue from Thracia 776, was one of the best ones. Sothe's not too shabby either, that is in FE10. Also Kaze, Saizo, and Niles, though neither of those three can steal anything.

[@cazaclaw3775]

Glad too see someone else who likes Peri, I really like her psycho personality honestly, makes her unique. I also find that with her lance she has one of the highest crit rates. Sucks she gets some much wait

[@DLuna333]

Wendy is probably the worst unit in FE. She isn't "underrated". Because to be underrated would involve a decent/good unit to be perceived as a bad one. But she's not just bad, she's on a whole other level of awful. One that I don't think any other unit has reached. She has crappy bases, mediocre growths, and in a gimped class in her respective game. Fun fact: Bors has better 20/10-20 stats and he joins 7 maps earlier. The only reason why she can be "good when trained" is because like most other FEs, FE6's lategame isn't exactly difficult; ripe full of "quality" enemies. So yeah, if you train her, she can edge out the enemies she faces... But every other unit has the same scenario and she's the hardest to get to that stage. Either way, her base stats are laughable and for the most part, base stats are a lot more important than growths or 'potential'. Early game FE is often more harder than lategame, especially in FE6.

[@bobonlan]

Sophia is worst.

[@curiousgerado197]

+bobonlan Wendy comes before Axe Land at Level 1, and at Chapter 7, but Sophia gets you a Guiding Ring and doesn't have to worry about close-ranged combat (unless it's fog of war) if you actually want to use her (even then, staff utility on promotion if you give up on her shit accuracy) , and has movement (even if it's by one point). Both are bad, but Sophia is better.

[@bobonlan]

CuriousGerudo No way. She can't even take a hit without dying, and she comes far later in the game where enemies are stronger. And really? We're going to mention items when it comes to character usefulness? Sophia is the worst FE character ever. Period.

[@curiousgerado197]

+bobonlan then why would you be placing her in range of enemies that can counter attack her, if you want to train her then just shield her behind a unit who can tank hits against a unit that can't counter attack against Sophia, and wait like 100 turns. With Wendy, you're forced to put her in danger to level her up, and even then, her 4 movement (5 if you actually try to use her) hurts her even more in this game due to the large maps the game throws at you. Also, Wendy is completely disposable, Sophia is needed to get a Guiding Ring, a gaiden chapter, and a legendary weapon in said chapter. Oh, I can give you units worse than Sophia.

[@DLuna333]

bobonlan Sophia can at the very least get to only level 10, promote and then become a filler staff bot. Giving her kills is easier than Wendy too since she targets RES from 2 range and can keep up better. Wendy has gimped movement in a game with large maps, has 4 base STR and even worse accuracy if she wants 2 range. And also needs to be levelled higher than 10 to be of some use later on.

[@DarthIllustrious]

Awesome that Cherche is on this list. She's my favorite Awakening character

[@MrMewtwo12345]

Nyx, from what I have seen, gets praised left, right and center. Her not being a retainer and actually having a backstory is mainly why. ...and Wendy? WENDY? Wendy is bad no matter what. In a game of move forward and seize on every map, she and the other armor knights fall behind, lacking in XP. Her growths aren't even that good either. 30% defense for an armor knight? God that is awful. Sure, she has some other stats, but with cruddy bases and how easy it is for her to fall behind, like the other Knights, why bother with such a bad unit? Cavaliers and Paladins are much more valuable, being able to move more, double, and actually hit. They can also rescue Roy to Point A to Point B easily, and any other unit. So why use Wendy? She is a bad character. You can say she was good on your playthroughs. Go ahead. But in Fire Emblem? PEMN (Personal Experience Means NOTHING). Raw data is what it comes down to. Wendy could be good for you, but will she be good for everyone else? Most likely not.

[@royalhistorian5109]

Well for some reason I can't hate her even thoe I knew that she was a bad unit like when I use her she like a god that always get crits like 70% of the time in fact her personality and backstory is way better than the other two knights. So I don't know why but I can't hate her no matter what. But it just my option.

[@kevinbreeden5387]

Congrats on the 10k subs. This channel deserves more

[@brymomjay]

Why do people hate on my waifu Peri?

[@bladehero8490]

cause youre waifu is a psychopath

[@sofaris576]

The funny thing is there are a lot of other psychopaths in fiction that are very popular. Prime example: Hades from Kid Icarus Uprising. He is more evil and bloodthirsty than Peri but he is the most populare Character in his game and I never saw a single person hating him.

[@eryft8764]

Sofaris Because he's the villain.

[@sofaris576]

And? Why does this status make him less hate able ore more likeable? I am not a Peri fan but I found it actuly refreshing and funny when one in the team of the good guys is kind of evil.

[@bladehero8490]

but that doesn't make any sense though

[@jarrodswanger8218]

what ever you make it will be awesome also enjoyed all your other videos as well

Finally, someone else that's willing to defend Peri! I can tell from the rest of the comments that I'm not the only person glad about this but I just wanted to say my piece. Thank you so much for defending my Fates wife Crash! (Or Blazing, I'm not sure what to call you).

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

You can call me whichever, i'm also surprised and glad to see some many people liking Peri in the comments

+BLAZINGKNIGHT Nah is my daughter in awaking.

[@allyrose9494]

Great list and you make good points for all these characters. Though personally I find Orochi from Birthright pretty underrated because she’s a quite funny, quirky character a great friend to Kagero, and is a great Omioji and especially witch and is the one all give the witch’s seal to

[@Sarah-dn4yo]

Yay Blazing Knight! I like Nyx thanks for mentioning her

[@GatorRay]

I love the new name. BlazingKnight just sounds Badass.

[@lordvaust5830]

Stahl was one of my favorite units in awakening. He was so good in battle that he never needed anything other than his trusty armorslayer. He was also my avatar's best friend when it came to support.

[@crashthebandicrash3357]

[@crashthebandicrash3357]

+BLAZINGKNIGHT Thanks! :) Also in celebration of your logo change I decided to actually get a profile picture for my account. To celebrate my love of fire emblem I picked my drawing of Roy that I drew earlier this summer. I hope you like it!

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

I certainly do it's a really nice Roy (especially with the shading and tones, you did a wonderful job there), also great choice for a profile pic, because ROY'S OUR BOY!!!

[@crashthebandicrash3357]

I agree with you on Peri. She's a character that I really enjoyed while playing Fates.

[@kevinskyssandbox7610]

We love you too! and btw.... no matter what people say, you can keep making other videos as well, but never quit with Fire Emblem! Congratulations!

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

[@itsbrunhilda9704]

+BLAZINGKNIGHT Did you make that profile art yourself? If you did, then kudos to you my man! Seriously, I can't draw jack with a digital art tablet.

[@BLAZINGKNIGHT50]

I did draw it myself, I drew it on paper first (personally I can never get the hang of drawing on a graphics pad) and then scanned it into the computer and worked on it from there.

[@kjhgfdfghjkdrtyuiwewe]

Omg, thank you so much for this video.

[@hime5727]

I agree with what you said about Peri. In my opinion and what I've played (I've replayed Conquest like 6 times), she's really good, even better than some of the characters that people usually praise. In fact, In one of my gameplays, both her and Xander were at level 17, but she was way stronger than him (both being paladins). I believe that you only need to know how to properly use her. Also, I find her personality hilarious and interesting. Just saying.

[@michaelwilson9241]

I love Peri her blood lust is amazing and i love her personality even if its out there, and if you do enough supports and give her good skills she is one of the best in Fates

[@n00bplayer72]

Honestly, if Cherche had Knight or Cavalier as an alternate class instead of TWO HEALER CLASSES, she would have been amazing. The same for Virion.

[@postapocalypse0763]

Always nice to see some Nyx appretiation

[@asupapas2074]

I actually last second decision married cherche in my second play through of awakening, and I realized how amazing her character really is. Also she was super powerful with robin’s pair up.

[@zedwillbaws2280]

For me I married her on my first playtrought and I loved her so much that I kept marrying her in all my playtrought XD

[@sarahsaysmeow0607]
