@@sckecherten8304 it was a joke. It was supposed to be some sort of statement on how the weapon triangle has barely any effect, especially late in the game. It's also an exaggeration because it is massively important in the early game and can prevent a lot of damage and improves accuracy at any time. Magic triangle matters even less.

It's kinda sad to see, around the start and mostly throughout the video Ephraim is strong enough to brawl with the elite of the continent, but each battle still takes time and energy for him to overcome. But by the end he becomes a killing machine capable of slaughtering anything with one slice, but the only warriors left to use that power on are the dragon that saved humanity, and his best friend (and also Riev and the Demon King are there but pls ignore them for this analogy). The story of obtaining such grand power but only being able to use it on his closest friend us fitting for a man who wanted nothing more than to become a mercenary.

[@ResurgentRaven]

Granted, the RNG is way easier to manage in Sacred Stones than in the other two gbas. Hence why Gerik usually outclasses Raven, Ogier and Dieck on the average playthrough. At least they learned not to give Ephraim a super dense weapon like they did with Eliwood, especially given how similar their stats are (speed-wise).

Like this man just gives no f*cks and understands how OP he is. I love it.

[@kravenLaw1]

Ephraim is the Hector of FE8 and Erika is the Eliwood of FE8 lol

[@TheAvalanchilator]

Lawrence Rodriguez that's more true than I'd like to believe....

[@SethJV]

Lawrence Rodriguez Eirika is far better than Eliwood.

[@TheAvalanchilator]

Seth you're trolling right. Ephraim comes in at level 4 and already performs better than eirika and comes with great weapons. He also trumps her because he has lances rather than swords for most of the game. He has better growths and although his route gets you slightly worse characters, both get tana who will most likely be used. Ephraim also destroys most of the bosses in the game easily and makes up for eirikas weak strength. As soon as Ephraim appears he has an aura of savagery for good reason making most pick Ephraim as best.

[@SethJV]

Could you please read again my last comment? Especially the names.

[@TheAvalanchilator]

Seth oh god.... I'm so sorry.... I just read that sort of comment all the time and fired like a semi automatic rifle... i honestly have no clue which ones better. But I think I'd go with eliwood since he is forced to stick around the entire game and eirika can easily miss out on a good half of it. That creates a distinct level advantage since most people feel obligated to use their main lord. Even on hector mode, eliwood is good for his early promotion which eirika doesn't have... so I guess convenience was the deciding factor. Still really sorry tho.

But then Ephraim comes along and takes over a castle with his underleveled self and some cavaliers and then somehow escapes valter. What a savage.

What makes the promotion so special is that Ephraim is hands-down like the best lord of the GBA FE games.

For me hector is better if not on par with him both were cool and stong, both were very VERY savage, cool animations on both sides but i think hector is still better we all have our own opinions i like both

[@gypsysprite4824]

the main problem with Hector (and the sole reason Ephraim is slightly better) is that hector's movement after promotion SUCKS, especially in Hector Mode where he is your fucking main lord, and as such things can often get dragged on because hector is the one who has to seize (when applicable), and means he promotes late. though, in the end, it highly depends on the route you go. like, Eliwood route Hector is probably better as a unit since he doesn't drag you down in Seize maps and can premote somewhat earlier, and Ephraim is honestly mediocre in Eirika's route considering on her route, Ephraim is pretty much like what, the second to last character you get alongside Knoll and Duessel, and only coming before Myrhh by a chapter, and his availablility being bad by lord standards as a result

[@drewblock1365]

@@drewblock1365 of course, that's because your using boots on him :P i will note that when judging a character, i ussually refrain from taking into account statboosters of any kind (in fact, the fact that you need to use the boots, the rarest stat booster, in order to make him not hold everyone back, is not a great thing for my opinion of them)

[@ResurgentRaven]

That's not really saying a whole lot though when you've got the likes of Roy (who promotes extremely late), Eliwood (who's hindered by an atrocious final weapon and swordlocked until promotion), Lyn (who's promotion gives her bows, probably one of the worst weapons in the GBA titles and has crap defenses), and Eirika (who pretty much is just Roy with a mounted and earlier promotion). Hector is the only real threat to Ephraim's rule and Hector has armored movement.

[@juuichimikazuki2863]

You're not entirely wrong. In Ephraim's route specifically, Fomortiis doesn't possess Lyon, he instead uses and manipulates Lyon's darkest thoughts and emotions to get him to do his bidding. This is why Lyon states he did all of it of his own volition, but he was also being manipulated.

[@lpfan4491]

Ephraimmode honestly kinda blows. The entire thing is just kinda stupid with how it wants to push all the actions on lyon but all the blame on the demon king. That is not how that works.

first Hector than Ephraim, they are both so strong what happened to me once was, in the hector version game, (i had evolved Hector), I used to do the missions dividing my team into squads, depending on the size and mission, there could be 1 or 3 squads, I think it was chapter 18, Hector formed a squad, Oswin(general) formed a squad, Louise,Pent and Kent formed a squad, Hector went from mid, Oswin from right and the others from left, eliwood and lyndis were guarding the tent. guess what happens, Hector's axe broke... Oh no, what now, I know, kent will deliver him an axe... nevermind, the entire battlefield attacked hectors, there were generals with silver lances, knights with javelien, horse archers with longbow and completely surrounded Hector... more than 12 people around him and guess what happens, Silver Lance damage = 0, javelian = 0, wvern knights attack = 0, Noone could damage him (his health was in 50s and lvl 13 I think)... I had to restart because one of the horsemen managed to spot the tent and went towards it and eliwood and lyn killed it but it resulted in more palladins, (only like 3 came) but it was enough to finish a newly evolved Lyn and eliwood meanwhile Hector was just chilling, unable to move

Ephraim is the most no nonsense Chad Lord of the GBA games, and possibly most other titles in general. Being locked to lances is reason enough, but his bases are strong and his growths are stronger. Despite getting a mount late in the game he still gets one. He’s just overall really good.

[@megamert2848]

I mean, I find hector more of a chad, maybe pure like competitively stronger or stronger in the game, but a guy that literally has 90% of his attack animations be overhead jumping attacks screams more chad than just a badass recking stuff with his lance.
