I Beat Three Houses Without Taking Damage

[@JBRChannel]

This challenge took me so long to beat but my god was it fun! Let me know if you guys have any other Fire Emblem Challenge ideas!

[@tnndll4294]

Here's a challenge: Try improving the poor storytelling the devs did for this game. Sorry. too many unanswered questions. frustrating.

i always save before i choose my dancer when i play blue lions just so i can hear dimitri voice his anger "What?! curse you, Professor. I will of cource accept, but know that you have damned us all"

Chapter three made me take a break from the challenge for a week+

[@ChristopherKetcherside]

nothing to report sir!

[@UltaFlame]

Its worth mentioning that its not just the increased growths that buff Dmitri's stats - each class has a set of "base" states, and when you unlock a class if your stats are lower than that class's base they get increased to the base. High Lord's base stats are pretty good. And then Dmitri gets 19 levels of good growths.

[@JBRChannel]

Ohhhh that makes so much more sense! Thank you

[@hhhcontent3930]

That’s also why sometimes you’ll see dedues magic increase even when you promote him to physical classes

[@zoruafox7512]

Fun fact this also means that never using your lord till the time skip so they can become a level 1 unit with the base stats of their class is Weirdly strong

[@maxlegolus2817]

When I first heard he wasn’t gonna be training dimitri, my first thought was “Is he relying on post timeskip auto level up?” And lo and behold, I was right.

[@JBRChannel]

Yep! I wanted to focus as much EXP into Byleth as soon as posible to get early Thunder brand/Cathrine and Shamir, which you need a high level on Byleth for. Felix was also just far too busted to not focus all the exp into while the less useful units get auto leveled. Dimitri would be just as strong for 0 investment and I could just train him in a single auxillary battle to get him to surpass almost all my units post time skip.

[@nathanharris8896]

I was going to ask why Dimitri wasn't at full hp, so I'm glad you explained it. Well done!

I love FE3H and it’s mechanics so much that it made me interested in doing challenge runs- someone who often gives up on hardest difficulty runs of games midway through. I applaud you for doing something so time consuming and difficult! Blue Lions gang!

[@JBRChannel]

Thank you :)

[@ishtilodi]

Dimitri is literally the most broken unit in the game. Broken mentally, yes, but I mean unit wise. It's been a while since I've played this game, but I played Black Eagles route first, then did the Abyss. The Abyss quest gave me a Chalice Item that allows melee units to counter attack, regardless of distance. I played Blue Lion next, and I kid you not, Dimitri straight up bulldozed through the whole game. He had the Chalice, with a high crit weapon (any weapon mind you- didn't even have to be a lance), his signature Battalion at 35, and I think Battalion's Wrath, and Battalion's Vantage? He'd crit counter attack before the enemy could even think about attacking. The game from that point on just became less about strategy and more about just deploying Dimitri in the square that aggros the most enemies and skip to end turn. Afterwards I couldn't replicate this with any other unit as they were missing either the skills, or high personal damage(?), not sure. But suffice it to say, Dimitri truly is broken. Which is a shame because other Blue Lions are so good as well. But you are less incentivized to invest in them, since why would you when you don't need anything other than Dimitri?

[@Brittanysplittany]

I did this with Dimitri and gauntlets. Plus the Chalice, he is truly unstoppable.

[@franst3909]

For anyone who wants to run battalion wrath Dimitri on Maddening, getting the +20 hit from mastering archer class is necessary, nothing sadder than seeing 100 crit miss because of 67 hit. But yeah with that you're pretty much all set the whole run.

[@pointblankvt6780]

Awesome job! I did the same challenge myself on Golden Deer Hard mode, and I'm excited to see how our strategies differ! I can't imagine this being possible against Hegemon Edelgard, but clearly it is! Edit: Oh my god I actually got a shoutout in the video lmao thank you so much! Edit 2: Oh interesting, Hanneman and Manuela don't move on Normal mode. They were the one obstacle I couldn't figure out how to clear without using DLC, so I ended up allowing it for my challenge in the end. > Chapter 3 Sucks Totally agree, I only managed to beat it because I got mega lucky. Regarding not getting Lysithea in time for Chapter 6, I wonder if it would be possible to get Hapi to learn Warp by then? She's a guaranteed recruit no matter what route you pick so it would become incredibly reliable. I'm surprised you didn't use Cyril considering how powerful Point-Blank Volley is, but I guess that's hardly necessary when you have Swift Strikes from Sylvain and Seteth! I used my Cyril so much that Sylvain and Seteth just couldn't catch up when they finally learned Swift Strikes. Oh jeez, so much dodgetanking required in the final chapter. I forgot that Royal Lineage+ gave an avoid boost though! Certainly makes it more reliable that way. I might try doing the challenge again on Black Eagles Maddening with Ferdinand von Aegir, who has a similar personal skill. I'll probably use NG+ if I do, though. Hard was already Maddening enough!

[@MiloPlaysGames]

Oh my god it’s the legend herself gracing us with her presence.

[@JBRChannel]

My friend (milo) jokingly told me to do this challange but then we realized it was actually a sick idea. I wanted to double check to see if anyone had already done it and wanted to give credit where credit was due! :) (thanks for stealing the golden deer route before me haha) I did use Cyril but I honestly forgot to mention him, he was really solid as most pointblankvolly/swiftstrike users on a wyvern are. Dimitri was the main reason why I went his route for this since I knew that he was insane with retribution. If I wanted I could have given him alert stance+ and the dancer skill of +20 avoid (which my 3am brain thinks is +70 avoid?). Even without those two skills my dodge rates were often 0-15% which was so cool! Also you gotta hit me up if you attempt a MADDENING MODE NO DAMAGE?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY???

[@l.n.3372]

Decided to comment since you chose Blue Lions/Azure Moon, my favorite 3H route for challenge runs. The early maps of this challenge were quite interesting to watch. Unfortunately, 3H itself just devolves into a warp skip, stride, 1 turn game very quickly on, so it feels much easier to beat a challenge like this when about half the maps can be cheesed this way. Even so, bravo on the dedication to your challenge. At first I was surprised you didn't use the broken Dimitri battalion wrath/vantage combo to cheese this route. Especially considering how helpful that strategy would have been for your goal of never taking damage. But I suppose you didn't even want to damage the battalion even off screen on a grind map, so that strategy wasn't possible.

[@JBRChannel]

Yeah there’s no way to damage a battalion without taking damage otherwise I would have done it right away!

[@l.n.3372]

@@JBRChannel Yeah lol. I had figured as much as I typed the comment. But still, it's easily the best way to avoid taking damage on maddening mode xD

[@TheRavenShadowsWolf]

A bit of planning he says... Just a bit. O. o (You're going to be reloading an awful lot, huh?) Thank you for that man; I needed the laugh. Personally when I played this I tended to go either armored knight for def gain, or assassin for speed. (I only play games on the easiest difficulty anyway - I'm not a masochist, or I'd play Dark Sols ; ) ) Pair that with a bit of time in Bishop for Renew and you're pretty hard to beat. I also tended to like unarmed. [Yes, I am one of those crazy bastards that likes to use my fists whenever a game will actually let me... so maybe I should amend the above statement? Oh well...] * It sucks that the sword of the creator only got 20 uses. I would have perferred it was the one item that had unlimited durability. {I know you could build Corrin to get there in Fates, but it was REALLY niche to pull off, and frankly of course you could in the one game that had unbreakable god weapons}

I have beaten Chapter 16 in one turn before.

why is Dedue damaged at 8:58 ?

[@JBRChannel]

I explained it in the video, but when a unit levels up they gain HP so they’re not always at max. And Dedue in this case mastered the Commoner class which gives him the +5 max HP skill mid battle. Mid HP level ups screwed me over later on, with Dimitri personal skill, so if I could take them off I would.
