Fire Emblem Heroes - Sacred Seals Upgrade Priority List: Which Seals you should upgrade first?

[@Pheonixmaster1]

QR3 does use Red Badges, I have fixed that on my Resource hub, ALSO which are all of the sacred seals that you guys have upgraded to Version 3 as of right now?

[@TheIggyChannel]

Pheonixmaster1 Quick Risposte, Distant Defense, Atk Ploy, Drive Def, Deflect Magic and Brash Assault (Quad Arden)

[@golddust7095]

Spur speed brash assault distant defence speed +3

[@chrisf.9595]

Pheonixmaster1 Attack +3 speed +3, attack smoke, distant defence, close defence, guidance, quick reposte, heavy blade, attack ploy, drive defense

[@kellamyoshikage286]

QR, Distant Defense, Close Defense, Deflects, Savage Blow, Breath of Life. I have other seals, like Atk +1, Spd +1, Guidance, Spur Atk, Threaten Speed, Phantom Speed, and Res +2 at level 2. Edit: Oh, and Fortress Res for a meme Azama.

[@DabiidA]

Atk +3, Spd +3, Close Def 3, Distant Def 3, Heavy Blade 3, Quick Riposte 3, Brash Assault 3, Drive Def 2, Guidance 3, Hone Atk 3, Hone Spd 3, Poison Strike 3, and Savage Blow 3 I've save up 600+ coins so far cause I'm waiting for really good skills to be released, something like Desperation lol

[@gizzylaserfoot2604]

Odin can reach 0 ATK with double fortress Res on the seal and A-slot

[@albertobarberacampos451]

Can't get attack debuffed if you have no attack!

[@tremainesadipe]

My guess is that your tier list upgrade video will be next. Also, could you do a Legendary Weapon refine priority list once a bit more are released? I have almost 1000 Divine Dew and i really don't want to waste a refine.

[@flonnetheangeltrainee1713]

Do Alm. His is amazing, the others depend on what you need

[@Miixle]

Tremaine Sadipe Alm

[@darted1319]

Alm, Raven, Caeda, Hinoka, Falchion users not named Alm, others.

[@rikithelegendaryheropon8135]

Huy Le well, Marth>Awakening Falchion in Riki's opinion

[@Multibe150]

Tremaine Sadipe Shiida becomes somewhat useful with her new weapon

[@JosephHk743]

I’m well on my way of upgrading my seals! I have all of the top priorities and I’m currently working on defense tactic. Thanks for the helpful guide as always! Also, get hyped for the Feh Livestream tonight!

[@nifl9903]

I'm saving my sacred coins until after the new update datamine to see if there's a new Thracia 776 themed Tempest Trials with new seals that I may want to upgrade

[@leamhnachd4579]

i'm soooo excited for your new tierlist :o!

[@exilednoob5998]

Thank you for uploading these guides

[@dudugs410]

deflect melee can also be used by slow units initianting attacks, since they'll be doubled after their attack and firesweep users

[@paddyoryan1506]

Great video Pheonixmaster1 :)

[@marvel_imagine1713]

Always with a great video and great music my man! It’s always extra entertaining for me hearing your music choices for the videos because I notice how much of the same music we listen to 😂 I don’t like what they did to the bleach anime/manga but that ost 3 was one of the best soundtracks out of anime ever.

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Yeah, I am not a big fan of Bleach. It's OST is good, same goes for Fairy Tail. That Anime is a mess lol but its battle music is really energetic.

[@p4ddywh4ck]

I love the music in my hero academia

[@Bingogogo721]

>upgraded obstruct to V3 >watches video

[@kksmith2282]

Yay an update to the guide! I still kind of disagree with Savage Blow's placement (I'd move it up one higher) since I find that seal insanely helpful (especially on Dazzling Staff healers or even for training up really weak ranged heroes - like healers - when you have someone weaponless tanking for them), but it's a subjective thing for sure :P

[@superwill1238]

I like the new PM1 art

[@Agentsquirtle]

I thought I recognized that theme in the back. Absolutely loved the Espada arc.

[@KevinLopez-wm7ub]

Really helpful. Loved that the links for the spreadsheets are on the link. Keep up the good work 😁

[@AKF44]

I always really enjoy your guides. They're so helpful and will oftentimes remind me of stuff I've been meaning to do or give me ideas for things I want to try out! Thanks so much for providing them for us, Pheonix! (Also, loving the BLEACH music that played in the background at one point lmao I was listening to you talk but then had to do a double take as I suddenly got a blast to the past haha)

[@shockingrivs]

We need a weapon refinery priority list

[@Richard_Zeppeli]

X2

[@rosalindaoviedo2519]

Me too.

[@rayjams3165]

Thanks for the guides as always, Pheonix! The only problem is having enough of those dang badges and coins to upgrade them, but hey, it is how it is. Can't wait for the tier list!

[@galvatronsupreme9489]

Nice thumbnail

[@yehiaafifi47]

I’m expecting that regular Tier List soon! But seriously thanks for this video because I honestly have no idea what to do with my Sacred seals

[@adli2835]

Waw.. i've been looking for this guide. As always, thanks a lot. You really help every FEH players. Keep doing great, phoenix.

[@jojokeman5967]

You rock bro, thanks for helping me understand this a lot more

[@jojokeman5967]

Senpai’s noticed me :D

[@jaunedragneel6320]

They really need a organized button for these scared seals, because my scared seals are always all over the place.

[@unitlonda4925]

Jaune Dragneel Agreed

[@greenislandserenade1]

they're all over the place because they're scared

[@antisaltknight887]

0:00 nice choice phoenixmaster, bleach ost and the ost from the espada arc, distancia para un duelo if i am not mistaken. Phoenixmaster1 more like Soundmaster1. Edit: nevermind it is the track "espada". If there is something that bleach did atleast great, it is the ost.

[@anasandoval9012]

I just upgraded Heavy blade after watching your video, put it on my Green!Grima -HP+DEF (using Sol) and thanks to you I got 4,700 points in arena for tier 19!

[@KarseFarrence]

I think Threaten skills are still quite good. They are good mostly because they can be use on any unit. The Plys can only be use with units with high Res 30+. There are a lot of units that do not have good Res.

[@dermitdemflow7171]

Good, I already have every Top-Priority-Seal upgraded ;D

[@Ironblag]

Agreed for the most part but I'd bump breath of life over that a bit it's always come in clutch for me

[@1Empoleon]

Great video I would really enjoy seeing a weapon upgrade priority list from you

[@StarBlaze]

Nice and informative video! I have all my seals that I think are important upgraded fully and looks like our top priority list are similar! Now working on other variance of attack+3 and speed+3 for Arena assault purposes :D

[@Theblaziken2000]

Combo a breath skill and heavy blade. Makes for an ultimate cooldown unit. It makes high cooldown specials like aether, ignis, or glacies a lot more bearable.

[@Crinkletoes]

Great video! :D Ah new mascot looks even better in your videos!

[@TheKingSothis]

This is pretty helpful. I agree with you on pretty much all of this. I hope we get more tactic seals soon! Crossing my fingers!

[@iwantmoney3598]

Omg that new art its pretty nice, thank you to take your time and dedication to do this guide videos

[@cuttieartgirl8294]

I love this kind of videos, they are so much fun :D Love the new art btw :3 I have all the new seals of top and high priority, so maybe I'll wait a bit more for new seals (hope a new tt comes soon with incredible seals). I would say though to move up the brash assault seal, because that seal + desperation is incredible, especially to brave units. My bride Cordelia who is +attack gave her desperation + brash assault seal (she has deathblow instead of life and death, she can at least resist more attacks). Has been demolishing everything when she gets that range.

[@lisasemarron5413]

Great video phoenix as always. Keep it up my main man

[@tallyho836]

I've fully upgraded Close and Distant Defense, Heavy Blade, Quick Riposte, Speed +3, and Attack +3. Then I realized that these are the exact same as your top six. Am I a genius?

[@ryuuotaku35]

derpytarbosaurus same here.

[@darted1319]

No you have common sense

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

I skipped Atk and Spd because I always use the same (3-4* available and usually merged) units, so having a "versatile IV fixer" is not my cup of tea.

[@destroyerofblades8923]

So are we getting a Tier List update soon?

[@jamesphan3546]

Saw the new PM1 art on twitter, really cool. And also a weapon refinery tier/priority list would be great. Gonna get to 200 divine dew soon and not sure what should be next, so many good ones lol

[@xXReaper396Xx]

Oh bby PM1 on Monday hell yeah! Also HB seal for me its the most useful one atm in my arena runnings.

[@ulquiorra964schiffer]

now only the tier list is left! can't wait

[@dgamer-ruuukuuu1221]

Good vid and nice updated ava artwork. Wouldn't mind you having Branded Chrom as your ava either tho.

[@Are-Solares]

always the best videos and the best information for FEH, by the way the link you put in the description is not the same as the video of the units that best skill inheritance?

[@greenearth7433]

Gasp Your avatar changed! I like it, who's the artist?

[@612LimaDias]

Another awesome video, buddy. Thanks. I'd like to watch a video about arena scoring. I'm getting many deathless runs but still can't reach tier 20. I know it has something related to the units' base stats, but it's a little confusing overall

[@naarmiwave63]

Another AMAZING video dude! :)

[@mauricesteel4995]

Deflect melee would be awesome if some skill similar to Lionine Poise ever get released (enemy attacks first, user attacks last on initiation and cannot follow up, increases crit, probably translates into special charge +1)

[@KaiserChiefsPocketbombs]

this clears a lot of what i should be investing in. Thanks

[@bobzhang622]

I love using heavy blade on my DC Sigurd. With horse buffs, he's almost always gonna proc it and make Aether effectively a 3 cooldown special

[@ShiiniigamiiX]

Do I hear the Arrancar Theme?!

[@RobinDude]

Yee

[@jblen]

Can we get another weapon upgrade tier list after the next update?

[@gldni17]

Accurate till next Tempest Trial, I suppose? X3 Really, for people who have been playing for a while, this stuff might feel obvious, but for anyone new, this is super useful info and a good place for beginners to go to learn where to spend those hard earned coins.

[@jsschvz0]

I did Savage Blow, Heavy Blade, Def Tactic, QR, Close/Distant Defense, Hone Spd, Fortify Res, Drive Def, Att +3, Spd +3 and a couple others I forget.

[@TronicSpeed]

I'm ready for the FEH channel tonight.

[@yungthunder2681]

I just hope there will be a time eventually when we will have every seal fully upgraded

[@justpassingbye]

new art for PhoenixMaster!

[@grey4798]

Nice vid, though i dont upgrade stat seals, i upgrade squad ace seals cuz i like the icon art

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

when will this be updated? i suppose speed smoke is about the same as atk smoke, flier formation is niche, so around Savage Blow priority, and Drive Atk and atk/def+2 on top priority, one because the effect is wonderful with that range and the skill is hard as F to find, and atk/def is a mini-Sturdy Blow that works on both phases, and can be used to correct some IVs just like Atk+3 or Spd+3. on the opposite end, seal speed is probably even worse than seal atk, fortress def is also super low as it does not even have the niche of helping with Ploys like fortress res does, so it's basically a worse Defense skill

[@kishiberohan7955]

So I'm working on a bunny Xander build that actually utilizes Seal attack. Even though he has a defense bane, he still reaches around 40+ defense with a refined carrot and steady stance and almost 50 with seal attack. (and this isn't factoring buffs or a defense tile) Slap on renewal on him and he can even tan/wall a couple of greenies. Now if I can just get a spare brave Lyn for attack smoke...

[@EmethMatthew]

Love these resource videos!

[@ChromaToneMusic]

Rip my 200 coins for Deflect Missile, B lyn trauma is real! So should i upgrade all +3spd atk seals first? I did 2 of the spd ones already, the salvation of -spd ivs xD

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

lawrence Hoffman no. I believe those two seals are extremely overrated and should be left alone.

[@BluuS]

Also, Panic Ploy is pretty awful outside of minmaxing arena points again. Its potency does not get enhanced at all from upgrading it, but it makes it easier to proc. However, if you're going into arena with that in mind, most units you go against are +10 or high merges which naturally give them much higher HP values.

[@Sus-td3jc]

The day later, Deflect Melee and Hardy Bearing are considerable opinions due new Rein

[@ikemarthlinkrich]

I was literally praying for one of these, because we just got a shiton of new Seals that are sitting here and there

[@zancloufer]

Surprised you didn't mention Alm when talking about Phantom speed. Lvl 3 Phantom speed + his weapon refine lets Alm essentially double any 39 or less speed melee unit and not take a hit back. It might be a little niche but dragons are such a threat in the meta atm and Alm is arguable one of the best counters to them.

[@ChannelGrayCTSW]

Are you going to update the resource link with your placements of the Drive Attack, Flier Formation and Speed Smoke seals?

[@DarkSamusFan11]

I had just upgraded my Panic Ploy seal to lvl 3 cuz I plan to use it on my +HP Spring Chrom. He has a Life and Death set going for him, so once I refine his Carrot Axe, he'll hit 51 HP, which is awesome for Panic Ploy

[@cuzimspecial1]

So since Attack and Speed seals are in top priority, where would their "duplicates" (Initiate attack and Squad Ace D for example) be on the priority list? Same priority or less so so you can upgrade other high priority seals?

[@primarina]

I love how you say "because"

[@dontstealmydiamondsv3156]

TOP TEN SEALs THAT I WANT IN THE GAME: 10. Armored Blow The thought of running a double Armored Blow Brave Bold Fighter Ignis build is exciting. 9. Grani's Shield If they wont bring back Camus, could they at least give us this? I really need it for GHB scenarios. 8. Lunge To meme on anyone who dares challenge you're defense team. 7. Dulled Range It isn't worthy of the B slot in most cases. Maybe it will do better as a seal. 6. Infantry Pulse I know its free because of Marisa, but the nature of how the skill works creates a staircase effect rather than actually stacking, so it seems reasonable to me. 5. Geyser Dance (Or any "Dance" B skill) You're way better off running Wings of Mercy on a dancer's B Slot, because of how inconsistent these are. But there isn't really any competition in the standard dancer build's S slot, so these skills would be perfect. Geyser Dance in Specific would be a good start. (It would come as tier 2, because it has no tier 1, like Drive Def.) 4. Flier Formation There's never too much shenanigans. 3. Flashing Blade Might as well have the Spd variant. 2. Vantage Can be used for some things I guess... 1. Close Counter Seriously people, it's not Distant Counter levels of good. Mostly because a very limited number of units can use it well, where as Distant Counter can be slapped on just about anyone at it'll be fine. Notes: -Did not include Armor March because armor emblem doesn't need any boost as of right now. -No Guard because the idea of just slapping it on anyone you want without sacrificing an important slot just seems unbalanced to me. Instead I suggest the idea of Venin weapons with Guard 3 built in. Venin weapons are poisonous weapons that I'm pretty sure are from FE9 (Could be wrong though.). Inflicting Special charge penalties on foes seems like a poison-like effect to me, so it works. So the weapon slot seems like a good compromise. That way you actually have to build the unit around guard instead of it being the cherry on top. Also Venin weapons should be refinable if they ever do get added. (Maybe it would be a balanced seal and I'm just tired, but I think Guard _weapons_ would work even better.) -No desperation because that would be disgusting with Bold Fighter. -I also want other seals like Atk Tactic, Spd Tactic, Res Tactic, Drive Atk, Drive Spd, Drive Res, Spd Smoke, Def Smoke, Res Smoke, Spd Ploy, etc. Basically I want IS to get around to finish what they started with certain skills. -Thanks for giving up at least 60 seconds of you're life reading this, knowing you'll never get them back.

[@braintabasco3385]

thank you so much for this since im fairly new this is rlly helpful

[@Dosflamingos]

We really need another one of those!

[@Lyfjaberg-o6t]

Thx for this kind of Tipp. So I had also a question to you what do you think about creating a Community on Discord?

[@Veltiono]

What are your thoughts on the Squad Ace and Initiate Seals for Atk and Spd? I like having the extra copies but where would you Prioritize them for most players?

[@arsia.]

are you sure that deflect skills only work when attacked twice in a row? or is this just true for the melee one? my fjorm survived the attack of the blue mage in your vid about legion GHB and survived it with deflect magic instead of +3hp seal... so not sure how that happened

[@shinidragon7775]

WOAH! PhoenixMaster1 got an art refine

[@MagicianFairy]

Seals at 3 already. Guidance, attack ploy, savage blow, distant and close defense, heavy blade, qp and speed plus 3. Planned to upgrade hardy baring 3, fort res 3, attack 3, poisonstrike 3 attack smoke, Then def tactic. Depends on what new seals we getin tt.

[@ikemarthlinkrich]

Tbh, if Deflect Missile and Deflect Melee were combined as one, it would be compete with Deflect Magic

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

IMLR. That would require deflect Magic work on staves and Dragonstones for a Wind-Water duality like on the Sweeps.

[@ninowrecks3165]

Awesome background music!

[@feelsbaraman4713]

I’ve upgraded every sacred seal except the stat boosting ones, (except a +spd one), the hones/fortifies, spurs, and ploys Seals are coming out so fast though I can’t really upgrade all of them yet

[@carmage8181]

You probably should've waited until the livestream before doing this in case something better comes out. At least this explains why I'm always low on red badges. >_< I can't agree with Heavy Blade and Panic Ploy, though. While they are great seals, I don't think they are worth promoting. The only difference between levels is what's needed to activate them. For example, if I gave Arden the Panic Ploy seal, would Panic Ploy 3 really activate against many more units than the first version to the point where I'd need to upgrade it?

[@Sieghiro]

Can you do a guide for a budget flier emblem team? Or just x Emblem team guides overall, with tiers such as f2p, not so f2p, and so on? would be nice, although it feels like asking for too much too. Anyway! Nice video, first seal I maxed was QR since you recommended it on a video, and yesterday I finally maxed the second one, Distant Defense. Will go onto Heavy Blade next since I use it on my Ephraim!

[@Big_Papa_John]

Thank you for this video! Still kinda new to the game

[@filipedasilva96]

Would heavy blade be good on someone like Michalis? I use a drain tank build with noontime and i wanted to change that for aether but im afraid the cooldown would be too high due to his low spd

[@AnuxeL]

I upgraded deflect missile and melee a long while ago because of my ocd. I wish I could get those coins back

[@perirZX]

Hey phoenix, what do you think they are gonna announce for the feh channel tonight?

[@thoribbin6293]

i have a lute with 54 attack and 37 res that uses glacies with the heavy blade sacred seal and she kills everything she comes in contact with

[@totalishnc]

I'm guessing you would put the squad ace and initiate sacred seals that boost speed and attack also on top priority, are is it that once you get one of the seals to +3 you don't need to enhance the others?

[@jaydengreen694]

From what I see on the tier list is top tier is full of reds and blues while colorless is still bad in sacred seal upgrades

[@Skyfire08]

Finding this on the tail end of 2020 and wondering if these would still be necessary? Got the Quick Riposte, best believe. Still gotta work on Heavy Blade though

[@alexconley6633]

We have a Heavy Blade sacred seal, do you think we'll ever get a Flashing Blade sacred seal?

[@Wyui2711]

Bigbrain Res PLoy for Felicia, thoughts for this?

[@vgmaster02]

How often do you update your lists? I have all the top and high priority seals to max level, and I'm wondering if I should prioritize the new Drive Atk seal, as I'm assuming Fortress Def and Seal Spd seals will be near the bottom of priority since that's where Fortress Res and Seal Atk are.

[@Pheonixmaster1]

I am in process of updating it this week.

[@vgmaster02]

I'm waiting on my coins for when I get Drive Atk to see if it's another high priority seal. I used your list to get every high priority seal to max level. Your list is extremely useful, as they're the main seals I've been using on my units XD

[@tuananhrobert8884]

in the beginning, the dragon on the coin looks like it fart out the savage blow

[@samycrazex4769]

Who else upgraded the savage blow seal for the pain+ razzle dazzle healer XD ?

[@BennyBoy962]

This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@Kriae]

Could you make a C skill tier list too ?

[@gvsparks1471]

Thanks for the advice! I will be upgrading Distant and Close Defence! Question for everyone how would you use the Defence Tactic Skill Effectively? I mostly use teams which are primarily one type of unit however

[@biscuit3461]

Liam Webster you should be using it on mixed teams, so if you only use infantry or are using emblem teams it won’t activate

[@PorkFork]

My 63 Attack Hinoka is a big fan of Heavy Blade seal.

[@doubler5318]

So can u make a weapon refine & l weapon refine tier list by each color
