Thank you guys for your patience, my ADHD spiraling out in last few months, definitely set me at odds but I am already halfway done with my backlog! twitter.com/Pheonixmaster1/status/1744395669526213019 I'll continue & finish it after the new banner/refines we'll get tomorrow! 🎬 More Unit Reviews! - kzbin.info/aero/PL-UHDqcwcC4jI8dJ6ybHIwDegOx8T_She

[@giratinalight]

Ninja Snacki Micaich duo they're literally the most precious and cute duo ever considering their game words can't express how happy I was when they got reveal my dream duo I never thought would happen but it actually did and what was most surprising of all Snacki hot such a really strong alt which I never expected to happen cause she isn't that popular despite being such a really well written character so yeah was so surprised and happy it made one of my worst days into happy ones!ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ ⁠ಡ💖

[@claudeishere5806]

I'd be lying if I didn't say N!Saizo. I know people prefer N!Zelgius for having a prf, but I've waited years for this to finally happen.

[@fridaynightralsei8495]

no worries, thank you for making the video, and my answer is most definitely N!Saizo, even without the prf

[@jaimeiferrufino]

I was waiting for this review ty for making this!

[@5577Step]

Fave ninja alt is Ninja Haar. Can use stealth even if he isn't trying.

[@JustLoki35]

As the saying goes, better late than never. Glad you got around to making this video.

now for the ninja banner review

all we need now is the ninja banner

[@saizoandoborobestduo6865]

Been waiting for this for so long, he has been my most anticipated unit to get an alt after how disappointing his OG is and it's really nice to see him given some justice, even as a prfless grail seasonal. Thank you for making this video!

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Of course, there is no way I could skip him! He is too cool!

[@bobwantstobattle9542]

wow, had no idea you made videos based on your viewers, evil hero would be so proud

[@alexanderkashtanoff7006]

He's definitely a fun unit with really cool animations, even if he doesn't have a prf. Plus, his stat spread is really good, despite the superbanes, and he has some pretty good flexible build options. Worth waiting all those years imo, and already plan on +10 merging him.

[@drowsyzauberbiest9854]

I reckon Saizo followed in his master's footsteps, patiently waiting for his grand entrance for 25 turns - talk about loyal dedication! As always tho, fantastic guide PM1!

[@Pheonixmaster1]

LOL, that's a good one!

[@ieateyescreamieateyescream4777]

I have a feeling his master is most likely his father, you know the one that got killed like the many FE protag fathers have

[@cucumbersandwich4459]

So was his master L!Ryoma? LOL

[@drowsyzauberbiest9854]

Ooh ninja saizo building guide! :0 Probably mean the duo ninja Snacki and rest is soon yay I'm excited!👀💖 But ofc even tho ur feeling great and I hope u always stay that way PM1 cause u deserve it! But always remember to take as much time as u need to rest too ur health is important! :)❤

[@evilhero3297]

Omg pm1, I am flatterred you made a video about me, I didn't know you cared so much about me! Aside from that, I definitely love how great his first alt is. Amazing animation, really good stat spread, godlance prowess, fun build options. As a long time Saizo fan, I am happy with how he turned out, and thank you so much for making the video.

[@fridaynightralsei8495]

Congrats on getting your own video, lol

[@slateportraichu5416]

Thank you for the review and builds=3 So happy Saizo got an alt. He deserves it=3

[@yuffieiscool.8975]

I may or may not have foddered all of Timerra’s skills to him as soon as I got him 🫣 and now he’s got Atk/Spd finish and DC-M, super excited to merge him up tonight!

[@dontbreakmr.dinksgrillorel5470]

What a coincidence that this video got dropped, lol

[@omi2886]

I was waiting for this review, i wanted a saizo Alt for so long.

[@strider_blaze]

So good, he was able to evade PM1 for months. In all seriousness, better late than never. Here’s hoping his brother Kaze follows, as well as Kagero, for Ninja alts.

[@catnapgaming7320]

Kaze, yes, Kagero, hell no, she has enough alts

[@jennywakemanxj-9teenagerob749]

I'd say Asugi over Kagero, he's not even in feh yet...

[@avenger7822]

Saizo is not available in the grail shop yet?

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Should be tomorrow along with Fargus.

[@avenger7822]

@@Pheonixmaster1 oh ok thanks!

[@shuichichirocks33]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I *WILL* be +10'ing and I have him a Prime 4 speed based build with GLR ATK/SPD prime 4, null C disrupt 4 and speed smoke 4! After Initiation with 2 buffs from party (I've been using Veyle for scowl) he is a great tank with non pierceable DR thanks to GLR as well as having distant counter and scowl, will always counterattack to charge his special with the darting breath sacred seal!

[@pokadotplot]

Yeeesssss! Saizo builds! Thank you Pheonixmaster!

[@jerbear8884]

Im very happy with this alt and even more happy with this guide for new ideas 😁 Thank you for all your guides

[@Wyglafff]

Thank you PM1 for making all those videos even though they might not do too good because they are a bit late. Still very much appreciated

[@GGMK2002]

I really can’t believe Ninja Saizo is the first free Infantry Lance unit we’ve gotten since Summer Norne. IntSys really love their Lance Horses.

[@xLoadez]

Thank you for making this video PM1 🙏

[@pandinus1377]

patiently waited for this 🙏🙏

[@rivrey8766]

I’ve waited so long for a Saizo alt ( ;-;). He’s getting premium skill I manage to get. He’s already half way done on the Max Saizo the 5th build :,) Thank you for the video and new build ideas!

[@VerkatosEnsei]

I wondered why Close Call 4 for a second when it came to the first Arcane Qiang build but then I remembered you gotta move first (or your opponent) for the weapon to give you Special charges, so at least Close Call will help you get back to position Saizo's very cool, he's got great animations, and is a rare lance infantry when those are still surprisingly uncommon (ones that aren't premium anyway)

[@thel-iteralone4592]

It's notable that N!Saizo and NY!Fkana have less than 40 HP, as that is why they have pretty high stats for atk and spd. The former has high def and the latter has high res as well.

[@Paiguy7]

I've got so much fodder ready to load into this dude once he's available but I have to wait for a rearmed Tana rerun first so I can put unity (and guidance, of course) on the Ingrid I'm gonna give him.

[@sandervandertol7889]

Besides Ninja Saizo (and Fargus) finally getting added to the Heroic Grails, this week is going to be a good one for me! The update includes some really cool stuff such as the Remixes for Corrin and Lilina. The next Divine Codes include Raphael and Etie, who I really need for my merge projects. The Weapon Refinery is just OK for me, but interested to see what Corrin, Lilina and Kiria will get. But what I'm so excited for, and I even bought the FEH pass today for it, is that my favorite hero from Fire Emblem, my girl Ilyana, is getting a Resplendent version! I'm going to invest heavily in Ninja Saizo, I have more than enough Grails to +10 him, just not the feathers yet. Like you said, Lance infantry heroes are very rare, especially free ones. I do have a few Infantry lance heroes that I use often, such as Nephenee at +6, Duo Ephraim at +5, Brave Lucina at +5 and Azura at +5 (thanks to the free Arena summoning ticket we get every week, one of the best things that IS has added to the game in the last few years). But those are old heroes now, and Saizo is much stronger than them.

[@electwode]

i already have a super-invested summer norne, but i just love saizo so i feel like i have to build him!

[@poulanthrope]

Penultimate means there's one that comes after or is better, it's one less than ultimate or last.

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Oh my bad, I always thought it meant like "Super Ultimate" from it's use I had heard. I'll keep that in mind next time!

[@YuryVVV]

Hey PM! A #question. What is the benefit of running Hit & Run on budget as opposed to Drag Back? I find the latter to be more useful, since being able to yeet an enemy you can't kill towards your teammates to get picked off can be crucial. You pretty much always recommend Hit & Run as the bootleg Canto option, so I'm curious if there's something I'm missing.

[@augustodepietri3301]

For i think the first time i can give to a unit all the skills that you use for your recommended builds! Thank you for not including the one premium skill i can't get (atk/spd prime) in any of the builds! Edit: i have a question: for the "quiang reflexes" build,couldn't buffer grant the pre-charge that you would need to get from support units? Or is the mobility from close call that important?

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Yes, Buffer can be run but if you don't have it then other Tier 4 DR skills also work, I just wanted to show that haha.

[@augustodepietri3301]

@@Pheonixmaster1 oh i see! Thanks for the clarification

[@justaman9344]

It's always good to see a rare class type becoming available to f2p players!

[@Pencil_Frog]

He's a super cool unit. I'd like to lean into his weapon and give him that max player phase build (he should also be able to get Fleeting Echo since you'd need S/D Tempo 4 from her anyway)... but mainly I just don't have the feathers right now :/ (btw - at 8:12, penultimate means second to last, not last)

[@Pheonixmaster1]

Fleeting Echo is not available for him sadly. Also, gotcha, sorry for the wrong use of that word!

[@Pencil_Frog]

@@Pheonixmaster1 oh is it ranged only? Darn. Hard to keep track of it all. (And no worries, just letting you know)

I'm definitely +10 him! he's such an awesome unit and character ❤

woooo 🎉Saizo

[@AquamentusLives]

His art is so good 🤌

[@krislee3155]

You know, I never really gave it thought, but KZbin's notification system is horrible. Didn't tell me at all that you posted a new video.

[@Susanoo_T]

Ninja Saizo is definitely a fun unit. He deserved an alt.

[@mrmeatal]

I'm waiting for Lon'qu Alt that's basically exactly like Ninja Saizo

[@KevinLi3903]

It would’ve been great if Kumo Naginata was dual phase but ik that if they did then they would turn it into a crappy prf lol, still would’ve been cool for saizo himself tho

[@zeonlucid]

Tbh sometimes I feel like they throw random skills on units like him. When I saw that solo skill I seriously went 🗿

[@arathemossage9155]

I have only one piece of each of the investment builds. Classic.

[@Theblaziken2000]

"Not the best res" I remember the days when 30 base res was amazing. Run iceberg/bonfire if higher than 30 otherwise run moonbow...

[@Dr.NickSaysHiiii]

I guess I may end up building him even though I've got an optimal almost +10 B!Dimitri and a Summer Norne invested into. We've had a drought of good Lance infantry units. Not sure if I'll build him as a dual phase or player phase unit though.

[@jerryberry8181]

Took a whole year to make this video 💀 All jokes aside, have a good one!
