[@Zoran501]

Here's the finale for Life and Death Week: a four-turn clear of chapter 23 that includes the training of not one but two Life and Death Sorcerers! This is also the debut of my own portrait replacement for Elise, where she's slightly aged up and wears a version of the Malig Knight outfit. Get it here! gamebanana.com/skins/182451 One of my personal edits to the Promotion Textures Pack has been to make Elise wear Beruka's outfit, which approximates the right look. Unfortunately, I have no way to distribute my own changes in a way that is both separate from the PTP and compatible with it. Also, replacing Elise's head model is far beyond my skill.

[@Mekkkah]

That double Vantage attack stance was amazing and the double Life and Death on one turn caught me off guard, hot damn.

[@andrewkos5560]

While I'd love a full Conquest playthrough in the style of your GD Maddening run, I'd also take a rundown episode where you just talk about what possible builds everyone can do (ala the "Golden Hottakes" episode of 3H). I swear, Conquest just get's deeper every vid I see from you.

[@chiaroscuro9780]

Andrew Kos I second this

[@LeoWell303]

"Ironically, that gets them all killed." "Smile! You're dead."

[@Beachwalks4]

This is hands down the most impressive clear of this map I have ever seen, even the LTC's I've seen of this game have to use the rescue staff for a 5 turn! Your videos always bring me back to this game with me wanting to try out all the sandbox builds this game offers, and how to actually plan these out with efficient map clears as well. I love the Elise portrait too, its a little jarring to not see the cinammon roll pigtails but damn it if she's not born to be a wyvern. I mean thats it, you really just have a mastery of this game

[@OnlineVideoSurfer]

I hope this channel grows, because you know the game well and have a good voice for commentary. This was enjoyable watching!

[@Zoran501]

Thank you!

[@heathed4945]

Chad Elise is amazing

[@Zoran501]

the virgin Troubadour vs. the chad Wyvern Elise

[@nolfan09]

That Elise portrait is amazing great work

[@Zoran501]

Thank you!

THE EYE OF SHINING JUSTICE IS THROBBING (zeke reminded me of odin/owain while i was playing funnily enough)

[@loganshort7334]

I have to say, I miss the two narrations you did. Hearing you narrate Krishna while Odin was unleashing death was amazing.

[@vishuprathikanti9352]

Holy hell, the double vantage attack stance. This was probably the coolest clear of this map I've ever seen.

[@just_a_cabbage7756]

I love that inte context of this playthrough, massacring the entire enemy army with Ophelia, Odin and Elise is just the weird Nhorian version of family game night

[@xNickichu]

Your content is always fun to see. Keep it up!

[@fabioangelini99]

This is my favorite video of yours, and one of my favorite fire emblem video overall, good job!

[@hues_of_neon]

I love everything about this video

[@LFPman]

Everyone loves it when a plan comes together

[@spicybrad]

Zoran the GOAT

[@chichusometimes5857]

always knew ophelia is strong, but it never crossed my mind that vantage could transform her into an enemy phase beast. Good thing that zoran is here to do the thinking for me ^-^

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

69 Damage always cracks me Always. Never fails.

[@proudherouser4069]

this and the 2-turn chapter 16 clear actually blows me away. my units are always in an awkward transitional phase in this chapter where they're busy collecting skills in suboptimal classes. I wonder if I can do something like this.

[@fortello7219]

People always doubt me when I say that Ophelia is the best character in conquest. But it doesn't matter, they're wrong.

[@flavafee]

Just wow! The double Life and Death level-up at the end was the cherry on top. Great clear and awesome video! So interesting also to see all the Nohr royals well represented in this video except Leo. Do you have any builds on him that you particularly enjoy? I think you've talked about him in another video but I can't seem to recall which right now.

[@Zoran501]

Leo gets Samurai from Odin, so he can also do the whole vantage sorc thing. Otherwise he can stick with DK and be a somewhat worse Elise

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@Zoran501 One question, how does Leo get that class tree from Odin? I've checked in the fire emblem wiki and it says that Leo doesn't get anything from A supporting Odin.

[@Zoran501]

@@MarceloKatayama Two characters who have the exact same base class will give each other their secondary classes instead.

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@Zoran501 oh, really? That's awesome.

[@mr.sellout6284]

Which FE games have you played so far and out of them, which ones were your favorites: 1. Gameply-wise 2. Story-wise 3. as an overall package?

[@frug9236]

How realistic is it to get all of this leveling and heart sealing done? I love the results and would like to try things of this nature in my next play through without needing the exp dlc or anything like that.

[@Zoran501]

It's quite doable with some planning. However, if you’re trying to put together a build with multiple level 15 skills as I’m doing here, I would generally recommend saving a child paralogue until around this point (maybe a little earlier) and earning the skills there. Some of the child paralogues, particularly the ones for kids that are also obtainable in Birthright, are easier than the main story missions and give a lot of EXP (plus cash and other items).

[@slushisimcambi2521]

First of all, love the elise mod. Second, how did Ophelia receive a level and get life and death immediately from Master at Arms? We can't see her prerequisite skills, but I'm assuming you recruited her later? Interested in how you managed this.

[@asmontosborne3111]

In case you were still wondering, Ophelia inherited Vantage from Odin and spent two levels (9-11) in Master of Arms, right before going Onmyoji. As soon as she got another level as a Master of Arms, it was time for Life and Death. You can find information about the class paths of each unit in the description of most of Zoran’s Fates videos.

[@kamehamehayes1440]

Based on my plans for my conquest playthrough, I can't make a Jakob!Sigure. Is there another great rallybot option for conquest (other than rallyman and dlc)?

[@Zoran501]

Beruka!Percy or Azura!Percy will get Strength (from Dad), Defense (promote to Wyvern Lord), and Speed (Falcon Knight), which is pretty good. He can also befriend Dwyer for Rally Res if you want, although you have to go much further out of your way for that.

[@Aquageist7663]

Hey, if you ever have the time, could you do a guide like this for Lunatic Awakening?

[@Zoran501]

I don't see it happening, unfortunately

[@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263]

Awakening relies on many RNG. I find fates to be much superior than Awakening

[@TheExpressionless1]

How do you get Ophelia into Onmyouji? Did you partner seal her with an Onmyoji talent MC?

[@NoCryinRyan]

Dark Mage Corrin gives her access to Diviner due to how inheritance works: any unit who marries Corrin inherits their secondary class, but if there’s overlap, they’ll inherit the parallel class. You can see a bit of this in some pairings that give unique classes to their children; Nyx/Nina gets Diviner since Niles and Nyx’s primary and secondary classes overlap; Jakob/Shigure gets Wyvern Rider since Jakob and Azura’s Troubadour overlap. Beruka/Percy gets Sky Knight because Wyvern overlap. Kana/Ophelia/Elise is particularly interesting if Corrin’s secondary is Dark Mage; since there’s overlap in Ophlia’s base class and Corrin’s secondary, she (Ophelia) inherits Diviner and Kana will have access to Samurai because there’s overlap in Ophelia’s primary and Corrin’s secondary.

[@ccpmustfall6445]

Damn, I thought maid butler elise is broken never thought about heart sealing her inearly chapters into wyvern knight O__O bravo. I was wondering where did Elise get this much defence growth XD you are truly a chad.

[@kabeermore2501]

Why is elise potrate so funny

[@Zoran501]

because I made a new one! :)

[@ancillarity]

How do you get the onmyoji class on ophelia? With a male corrin, who is Ophelia's mother?

[@Zoran501]

The relevant question is, who is Ophelia's husband?

[@AquilaGuard]

Video proof that Odin is bad. Mediocore bsses and growths, never use. /S

[@minhkhatran2030]

You know, I can never play Conquest again after watching you play. BC somehow I would copy your moves, and that would make my playthrough lack of personality. I should stop watching you a while.
