Getting Ready for Rigel! Let's Play Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (with Bismix)

[@Kummahndough]

"Oh, a Silver Platter. Guess it got handed to me." "...Did you really?" Bismix's disappointment in that joke could be heard from a mile away.

[@helop8773]

I think Alm's comments are starting to rub on Mekkah

[@Ximnart2]

Distraught lady : Please, let me repay you. This is all I have, but you must take it. Mekkah : Only donate if you can afford it.

[@cross7679]

The character convos change every Act. So yeah, Leon's dialogue was new.

[@gamezerox]

Peddler: Just give me a name and I'll deliver it to them. Alm, nervously sweating not knowing whether he should say Celica or Anthiese.

[@CanadianBaconEater09]

11:58 Equipping the Mage Ring gives the unit the skill "Sophisticate", which indicates that Black Magic has +2 range.

[@Iriswhatiris]

Hey Mekkah, just wanted to comment on the state of your Saber if you're unaware of it. He's a bit attack screwed, and thus won't be able to one-shot Jedah with a Roundhouse crit (I'll assume that's what you're going for since it makes that map easier and gives you a Dracoshield). He needs 28 attack to do so, yours has 24. If you don't want to rely on growths you can plan out your forges so the Silver Sword can be upgraded to max (12 might), and give Saber the Soma you'll get later (+2 attack), giving him 29 attack. Alternatively, if your Saber has already gained 1 attack level-up in the next parts you've possibly recorded, he only needs the Soma and a Silver Sword +3. You'll also need 2 swap users to have Saber reach Jedah on turn 1 so you don't get blocked by Mogall summons. But hey, I don't know if you already took these requirements into consideration, nor how far you're into the game at the time of this video, just wanted to leave this here if the information helps you. Edit: I don't see Conrad Korbol's comment -which they make every video- on their crusade for you to use their homonym Conrad and forge a lance called Korbol, so as someone who enjoyed seeing Xavier being recruited in the FE5 ironmans for name-related reasons I'll add this little bit to continue such campaign. All I'll say is that Gold Knight bases are pretty good, not gonna lie. 10/10 #DoItForConrad.

[@Mekkkah]

I'm gonna record the Jedah chapter tonight but I think my Saber's still short, haha. I also only have 1 swap user and it's Celica who's in a fixed position so the ORKO on Jedah is probably not happening.

[@Iriswhatiris]

@@Mekkkah Celica's fine as a swap user, they can be anyone really, but 2 are needed. Saber 2 rounding with crit + hit isn't that different from the OHKO, but yeah the Mogall summon RNG can make it hard if you don't reach turn 1. But oh well, I'm sure there will be some good jokes about floating creepy eyes, and great content as always. Have a nice recording night, Mekkah!

[@nuibaba280]

Leon's base conversation when he was talking about the man he liked wasn't Valbar.

[@GobaGNon]

How did they possibly think it was? He even says that the fucker dies

[@elji-w3k]

Yep, it’s about a childhood friend whom Leon liked and that even caused him join the army just because he had, but then he died in the first major fight, I think, which resulted in Leon being severely depressed, but then Valbar helped him out of it, which then resulted in him falling for the knight.

[@Iriswhatiris]

@@GobaGNon To be fair, with the usage Valbar is getting he might as well be dead

[@GobaGNon]

Javier Villegas you’re not incorrect

[@arman_llc624]

Luiz Guilherme Lunardi but isn’t valber married? I think its more that leon looks up to him rather then having feelings for him, I could be wrong though.

[@princeofpeace6432]

Oooof the Leon talk wasn’t even talking about Valbar

[@reidinator13]

Words of advice, if u plan to do Alm’s act 4 right after earning his promotion, I would recommend that u don’t go past the village on his side, because the necrodragon ambush can be skipped by fully completing Celica’s side first before advancing past that point.

[@hansgretl1787]

You have actually not seen Leon's base conversation before. He wasn't referring to Valbar when he talked about his crush.

[@Ragnell123]

Poor Catria, trying to understand Marth better. There’s only one blue-haired flier for him.

[@paperluigi6132]

Remember that there's an alternate timeline where the Hero-King had two wives.

[@leargamma4912]

[@mauricesteel4995]

The upgrade to the Ridersbane is the Rhomphaia, its a good lance for post-game, but loses the cav effectiveness, you can say it gets it back on the Knightkneeler CA (anti cavalry) and the Armorcrusher, but the best skill on this thing is DragonHaze, that adds SPD to Might

[@elji-w3k]

35:56 - 38:37 We interrupt this episode of FE Echoes to bring you the latest trend of Valentia: r/cheeselovers. After that exposure, Alm is gonna invade and take over Rigel castle not to stop some silly war, mind you, but rather to install his own era of tyranny to make sure that anyone who doesn’t eat cheese the true way, that cannot tell its origins and proper methods of preparation, or that dares to even look at it from an improper angle gets their deserved punishment.

[@sheep_amoo]

Rip Kliff cause the only cheese that he likes is blue cheese, the rest of them he basically hates

[@boot-4704]

Loving the vids Mekkah, keep it up!

[@PandaBwoPrime]

36:23 The way Mekkah got into the voice acting there tells you how much fun he is having lol.

[@fluffy9071]

"I'm trying really hard not to make any-" Do it. It's funny.

[@josepgc1183]

I cannot see Mekkah do raunchy jokes and i hope it stays that way honestly

[@emiikiwi]

Josepg c That’s actually somewhat of an issue I have with some fire emblem KZbinrs. They often turn to raunchy jokes and it can be a tad uncomfortable when overdone. Plus I feel like they don’t fit Mekkahs style. They aren’t the worst jokes but sometimes they just get out of hand.

[@gregster1016]

Nomah's pretty bad, but at least he has some use as an extra heal bot in Celica's route. Seeing him as a Dread Fighter is pretty funny though :P And dammit, you missed the Memory Prism on the Zofia Castle Balcony again! XP

[@benzoFE88]

Apotrope (pronounced - A-po-trope)= To ward off evil

MAKE HIM A BARON

[@metalmariomega]

Nomah is interesting, he has a bunch of spells and a passive support bonus will the entire Novis crew (which like Alm with Mycen means Nomah with Celica needs to hit B before actually showing a change). Conrad also apparently has the same spell list for some weird reason and is also the only non-swordie who gets a non-generic spell list. >Catria grows stronger YES. Also always interesting to see her musing on Minerva's then current situation of having to lead an overthrown Macedon thanks to that one time Catria got Marth to go rescue willing hostage(and Minerva's younger sister) Maria on their behalf, giving Minerva the opportunity to go usurp her older brother Michalis. Boy, royalty is complicated, especially in Macedon.

[@conradkorbol]

Another reason to use Conrad. Thank you

[@gameboyn64]

Can we name a killer bow double lion?

Turns this video - 1 (Rando Dragon Shrine) The climactic Act 4 has arrived. The first thing on the agenda is of course to go back to the Dragon Shrine because Rigel is scary. Turns so far: Act 4: Celica side: Rando encounters - 1 turn(1) Celica side total - 1 Act 4 total - 1 Total - 242 (without 3 from Prologue) Previous acts are in comment replies. *R indicates this was a revisit **Mekkah retreated

Was just watching these last night in anticipation for the next part. Good timing, I guess

[@vanjagalovic3621]

Unit review Nomah: 2/5 Free filler Sage. Nomah comes with 0 investment needed, but is stuck in a 4 move class with bad bulk, luckely he can use the Mage Ring and Sagittae/Thunder to provide some nice chip damage. Base Sagittae is super nice for chunking enemies, especially with the Grimoire Ring, and his backup healing is nothing to scoff at either. Still, his contributions aren't anything major and he isn't very impressive for a unit with such low availability.

[@Gstrikerz]

Appelstroop instead of Apotrope 😂😂 Spectacular Mekkah

[@lorddragonskin3603]

Apo...apple... Anti dark mage

[@justsomejojo]

The best use for the pitchforks is to make Python a knight and give him the Ridersbane. Obviously.

[@erintris]

Just beat the game, and while I am playing on normal/classic and I raised Est, all my mages bar Boey, all my snipers barring Atlas (lvl 9 too, so close), Forsyth and Lukas to their final promotions, I somehow got Blitzkreig. Frankly, I don’t know how I got it and I might not even deserve it, but if I could do that while doing stuff like grinding out the Rigel Castle level to get Forsyth to Baron and Python to Bow Knight, you guys have got this in the bag. Gotta say, this has been the most fun I’ve had with a Fire Emblem game so far and thanks to the returning Archanea characters (mainly Zeke, dude’s such a badass), it made me want to try out Shadow Dragon on H2 (tried on normal, quit because it was way too ez)... So I gotta thank you guys again because most of that probably wouldn’t have happened without this LP!

[@gangstersamurott2511]

Is that Santa claus?

[@JRodMason1]

When it comes to using the pitchfork, usually the best investment I have witnessed myself for a blitzkrieg is investing in someone who won't get completely screwed, and that usually means someone with a good class to transfer. Doing a blitzkrieg twice, one with and without pitchforks, I have to say changing all characters that promoted to armor knights made them so much more helpful, as having armor knight stats then reclassing into a mercenary is a pretty sweet combination, it's amazing how valbar goes from one of the least helpful in celica's later acts to being an absolute monster. They won't end up as fast as stuff like end game mogalls usually, but they can still outspeed most of the enemies in the game besides other mercenaries, and even then usually enemy mercenaries won't have the damage to tear through their armor knight base defense. The only other option I have heard of and have yet to test out is pegasus knight mae, which sounds pretty interesting, but I haven't tested her out with that yet, but I'm sure it would be pretty good since pegasus knights are usually very good, especially on Celica's side.
