[@JC_Stone]

Knights are bad because they’re slow and have low movement, so they take forever to move to the frontline and often times get doubled. Not that it matters, because it doesn’t matter if you get doubled if the enemies only do 2 fucking damage to you at best. Let’s see your Paladin hold a choke this effectively.

Great video Omni, Wyvern class on top of the list makes perfect sense for Fire Emblem. My favorite class in FE has to be dark mages. They wield strong magic tomes and can wield staves upon promotion. For me they are just fun tricky units to play around with. Medieval fantasy magic has always been my favorite concept in any entertainment media. Dark mages always had good designs for both enemy and friendly units. There magic cloak just makes them look cool as powerful dark sorcerers. Good luck to you with college life Omni.

They play nothing alike but both are completely flexible to where it's impossible to screw both or even either up. Gave Ced a physical or slow dad screwing up his growths? Who fucking cares the sage class bases are insane and he's guaranteed to come with a great weapon to use. Gave Ced a magic dad? Congratulations, you just turned an already amazing unit into a walking god, to the point where his base stats are so high they roll over into being the class base, and he's still a god. Gave Fee a magic dad? She can inherit and abuse magic swords, especially after promotion with a huge +7 magic and she can staff better. Gave her a physical dad? Now her combat and durability are better than they usually are, not that it was bad in the first place.

[@TheEeveeKing]

Ironically, I think Sages top the list for me in terms of classes. Staff rank doesn't mean much when it comes to getting staffs: A light heal staff on your newly acquired healer if you need it absolutely turns some of the best units in the games into ABSOLUTE powerhouses. With their generally higher magic compared to their healer counterparts, this makes them a hell of a great healer. Sure, they can't heal at range, but if you need that good emergency healer, then there's nothing better then this backup, armor melting, unit saving backup healing duty. Wyvern Lords are also a great class, there's nigh a single bad one in the series, only mediocre at best. I dunno why, but there's something about the Trickster and Adventurer that feel like they are really good for utility. Falcon Knights with Staffs also get this: Having a side healer always tickles the fancy.

[@Saltyoven]

In reality you only need c rank staffs, because that's when you get Physic staffs.

[@TheEeveeKing]

@@Saltyoven I mean, yeah, that's true...but there's something cathartic about having a Sage/Druid/Bishop who's around and has a cheap treasure trove of heals, without breaking the bank and being able to go for more interesting heals. Very cheap cost, very efficient 20-40 heavy heals.

[@chesterite74]

@@TheEeveeKing totally agree, when the heal is 10 + mag, even when it was 10 + mag/2, a sage who has good growth in magic can heal 25+ per heal as you need them, right down to just topping off a tank in a choke point. i often dropped most healers in favor of any mounted healers, and just used the cheap heals on sages/druids and tossing looted mends on them near the final chapters

[@TheEeveeKing]

Having a secondary or tertiary healer on your team is importaint, and having another of them can really make things easier on a more casual, or even Iron Man run. Tricksters, Adventurers, and Modern, staff wielding Falcon Knights are some of my favorites. Having heals, plus a physic staff makes life so much easier, so much so I actively try to choose them if I have the option.

[@HajimotoSaito]

Lilina is great for healing, she heals just as much as a Bishop or Sages with Mend above with a lone Heal staff. Plus she's a great Wyvern Killer without needing Aircalibur.

[@ElhPudding]

My favorites classes are normally fliers in general (Both Wyverns and Pegasis), for me, they are the best classes in all FE games for having the best mobility from all classes. But I see the problem that fliers suffer of having low number of playable fliers comparing to horse units, and sometimes in most games they don't have a wide pool of weapon choices like in Sacred Stones where you can find horse units with Axes, Swords, Lances, Bows and Magic where fliers has only Lances and swords. I would say Awakening and Fates (Just saw some LPs from Fates) had done a good job making fliers overall better. And I do like Griffon Riders, specially because of the Deliverance skill. PS: Between the Pegasus/Falcon Knights and Wyvern Knights/Lords I would say that depends game from game since the change of weapons. Other classes that I like is the "Soldier" classes (Infantry lances) because lances is one of my favorite weapons in RPGs in general and I kinda don't like armored classes, but since the only game I played with a class like that is Awakening (Villager and Great Lord classes) I kinda don't had a full experience with the Fates and Tellius soldier classes. War Monk and Dark Knights are 2 classes that I would say is on my favorite classes because I like their concept as well I always make sure to turn Ricken into a Dark Knight in Awakening and Libra is basic the only pre-promoted that I like to use. And talking about concept, some classes in the Birthright path really make me liking them but since I don't played Fates I couldn't have a full experience with those classes.

The others are pretty solid in fact the Generals all have one job to do. Hold the dam line! So yea I like Generals but they are not my favorite class because....they have huge weakness like low resist and carp speed.

[@Langas_LVDC]

I think you have underestimated the potential of the Sage class, as well as the usefulness of the staffs, specially in higher difficulties, which is a really important topic to talk about best type of classes, but you haven't mentioned. A lot of units and classes lose a lot of strenghts and potential when you play a Hard/Lunatic/whatever mode, in a normal difficulty can play as basically anyone without big inconvenients, so anyone can be good, so I think that hurts a lot of the criteria for this top. It's a good video, but some of the choices were a little questionable in my opinion, btw mage knights have been in 4 games lol. Keep it up!

[@princephantom1294]

My list: 1: dancers 2: wyvern riders 3: cavs/paladins 4: pegasus knights 5: heroes 6: berserkers 7: sages (would be higher if not for how much they suck in the tellius games and would move up a spot for the ones who can be mounted) 8: staff users 9: sorcerers 10: halberdiers

[@shadedhydra6674]

An interesting vid though I've got some gripes, two mainly. The Mage argument, honestly while I agree that healers will always on average have a higher staff rank there's a reason why early promotion exists as that has saved some of the worst Mages and made them useable, examples being Boey, Nino and he'll even Sophia. Even with their heavy competition due to their healing abilities they can still do something, Boey sucks late game and so he'll be a heal bot basically every turn and while units like Nino and Sophia shouldn't be used in a LTC run at all, though with healing help somewhat, Nino actually saved my ass in an ironman run when I somehow managed to lose every Mage with the exception of Canas to the RNG, yes even Pent, look that Swordmaster got lucky ok! The staff rank in my opinion can be improved reliably since you'll be using these Sages to be healing each turn unless they have amazing offences but even then you can use their healing when not fighting. Secondly with the Flier example, I wouldn't class any GBA Flier as being bad simply due to the rescue command especially Florina, having amazing availability as a Flier guarantees your usefulness and while she and Fiora (who I also disagree with being bad) pale in comparison to Farina at least you don't have to shelve out money and if you somehow want to play Eliwood mode at least they'll show up. While I'm a fan of Subaki, his heyday is only in Revelation (i.e. The worst route) thanks to availability as Hinoka just screws him over in Birthright and that Speed is somewhat inconsistent. I can't speak on Sigrun, I've not played the Tellius games yet. Though it was interesting to hear your opinion and I'm glad that someone else doesn't see Paladins as the best class (still good though). Fliers shall always be that way with me.

[@jens-ovebeier6901]

I know there's just one example, but my favourite unit is the conquerer, Alm's DLC promotion in Fire Emblem Echoes. He just draws his blade and foes just... die. It's awsome!

[@giraffedragon6110]

Something I’ve noticed with the Cain and Abel archetypes is that I tend to pick one over the other. As I find that you don’t need both of them though it’s useful to have them side by side to take on the entire weapon circle

[@Genethagenius]

To be fair, Tharja’s ass IS a good reason to like the sorcerer class...

[@squidkid9960]

I don’t know my favorite class cause I like a lot of classes but I could probably give my favorite character in some classes. Faye is my favorite Falcon knight cause she has decent all around stats except maybe res and hp but can surprisingly double a lot of enemies. Myrrh is my fav manakete cause she is adorable and powerful lol. Benny is my favorite General because he has ridiculously high hp atk and def and decent res for a general, and I like that he naturally has Wary fighter to help with the low Spd also he is sooo cute. Ryoma is my favorite sword master because of the crazy high atk and crit rate and finally Saizo is my favorite master ninja bc of his def atk and looks :P I have some bias towards Benny and Saizo cause I married them in conquest and birthright lol

[@Haos51]

Haar was the man to confirm Wvyern Riders for me. He was my unit that I used to fight back against the Black Knight so I could get the optional stuff. I just gave him a hammer and let him run the Knight enough so Ike could kill him without getting one shot

[@wastelandking]

When it comes to my favorite class, Swordmasters are king for me, but I've grown to like Paladins for the sheer utility they have in ferrying units and being an overall balanced class in terms of growths, Heroes for their 1-2 range options and well-rounded statlines, and Berserkers for their crazy crit rates. Hell, even though Knights are a bit slow and clunky for me, Oswin made me appreciate them quite a bit. That man is truly a wall of epic proportions.

[@JohnSmith-ns8si]

Knew Wyvern Lords would be number one! You're going to LOVE the Golden Deer house!

[@kevinmartin7341]

The first long-standing class I can think of would have to be either Hero (shocker, I know), and the Sniper (at least, the new versions. Noire and Takumi represent)... But in regards to classes that have made one or so appearances? Kinshi Knight's pretty okay. Setsuna certainly makes for a good one.

[@Bora_slash]

If I wanted to make a fire emblem class line, it would be Duelist and Bretteur. Duelist is essentially a swordmaster, but without critical bonus and with pistol utility (Pistols are just crossbows from FE Radiant Dawn), with same skills (astra and swordfairie) and same bases. Then we have Bretteur (Bretteur is a french word for a professional duelist) - a third tier class that acts as a promotion of duelist and essentially parallels with Trueblades in Radiant Dawn. It gets a innate +10 critical for swords. As for the skills, it has axebreaker (which instead of flat +50 hit and avoid against axe users, doubles the triangle advantage against them and it ignores reaver weapons) and intuition, guaranteeing 100% avoid against the first attack of the enemy phase. So the line goes: Myrmidon -> Duelist -> Bretteur. As for my favourite class in Fire Emblem game - it is a hero class because of axe utility and above average stats in everything except resistance and magic.

[@rosenasakura4570]

7:39 ...should we tell him that there’s like...no playable manaketes in 3H? Because I’m still not over it.

[@Ox9707]

Warriors and Generals in the GBA games were favorites of mine because of those crit animations. Spin to win, Baby!

[@summerwinter89]

i love a warrior with a bow.

[@cuddlebug9699]

Berserkers I love tank characters,And the fact i can just load these guys up with hand axes and throw them in the middle of the battlefield while watching them counter and kill *EVERYTHING!* just makes me love them that much more I also share the love of Wyvern riders as i always promote all my Pegasus Knights into them,But Berserkers will always be my favorites

[@maximaldinotrap]

A KZbinr I watch called BigKlingy actually calls Subaki Suckbaki. I actually did use him and in my defense I actually got RNG blessed with him. For me he actually turned out useful, then again even when he isn't I use him for ferrying when needed.

[@jeroldraevenmicahcabacunga4205]

Man, I love this content about FE classes, who knows... Maybe Amelia will one day have a Halberdier alternative.

[@javi8133]

With the limitbreaker dlc combined with anyone who can get hero in Awakening, it's literally possible to create units who use no weapon durability and have infinite weapons. This works best on the avatar and Donnel

[@double2254]

1:42 Hey it’s Xenoflux’s playthough. Couldn’t forget no name red sword

[@perez348]

That was a real Hot Take on the Hero class and Vanguard Legend Ike but i respect that. Still a great class and a good list.

[@Sith-bb6tq]

Well ya see, I only own 3 fe games, and my favorite class just so happens to only be good in two of them. Snipers. Namely Claude, Ash, and Bernadette in three houses, also the prince of one shorting himself, Takimi (at least in two play through of birthright I’ve done)

[@pn2294]

Takumi is an outlier so it’s not fair to compare him to anyone.

[@wolfc6665]

Archers are amazing to me.

[@RafalToDs]

Tô me, every fire emblem game is divided into "before I get a bard/dancer" and "after I get it". Dancers are phenomenal not because of what they can do fighting, but because of the flexibility and the extra layer of strategy they provide. The game instantly becomes more interesting the moment they join

[@steffent.6477]

Funny, the 3 pegasus sisters in Echoes were rarely used in my playthrough. I think I used just 1 regularly. They were all low level when I got them and very squishy.

[@hank2815]

I like how he never even bothered to even hint at Sophia.

[@Ziizoe]

You said the healing utility on sages didn't really matter because they never get to use good staves, but If you can't get your sages staff level up, you're training them wrong, you do have to somewhat actively train them until they can use physic, but that's all you really need to get them to, you dont need to get them further because chances are you already have a better healer to give your higher level staves to and if that healer happens to be a cleric that became a sage... then that's just further proof that the healing utility is good.

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

You and I have very similar tastes in units. My personal favorites are also Wyvern Riders, largely for the reasons listed in the video. I beat Fates Revelations with an entirely Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight group. It's probably the most giddy I've ever felt playing a Fire Emblem game. I'm also quite fond of Berserkers and mages. They may be "frail" in different ways, but their raw power and speed always put a smile on my face. Especially those old-school axe-spin crits from the GBA games. Good times. Sorry you didn't have a good experience with Nyx. Try giving her two Skill Tomes and a Mjollnir, then never let anyone ever hit her ever, EVER, and you can have a pretty fun time with her.

[@xuanathan]

Staff utility is the best part of any magic class. Period. Bonus points if the warp staff is present in the game

[@metaknightmare1234]

I'm actually a fan of the maid/butler class quite a bit. While I'm not a big fan of daggers in general, I just think they're really neat from a design standpoint and are really nice to use for just overall utility. Like with Felicia, gotta get a kill? Just give her a flame shuriken and watch her go. Need some chip damage and debuffs? Felicia. Need healing? Felicia. Staff utility to root an enemy with Freeze? Felicia. That along with the fact that they have one of the earliest join times just makes them very convenient to use, and I just like the overall support and utility, even if daggers are kind of lackluster compared to other weapons in the game.

[@velvet3928]

Onmi you are now my favorite fe tuber just for having the same favorite class as me

[@michaelreed995]

Glad I'm not the only one that loves halbediers

[@roccodishman5736]

yo staff utility is a thing that should never be forgotten because using staffs are good if you abuse them. What I mean by this healing for 1 hp still gives you xp and doing this over and over again can add up and give your entire team the needed xp and not just the one person. Thats the staff utility that should be taken into account.

[@thewindysage1538]

Poison spam in fe5 says hi

[@drpretzel2086]

Wyvern Lords and Malig Knights along with war clerics/priests along with tricksters are some of my favorite classes

[@CrashAriMP5N2O]

I run Camilla Emblem, souped up Minerva, Beruka, and Laegjarn. Heck I main fliers in general on FEH so this video is a win for me. Still waiting on Jill, Haar, or Scarlet.

[@timeforgottenprince8271]

My favorite classes in no particular order: Paladin, Swordmaster (esp when they can wield two swords and get a Luna with them), Dark Flier (Galeforce is amazing, and magic with lance, flexible), Nohr and Hoshido Noble (the animation for a critical Dragon Fang is absolutely beautiful and badass, to me at least), Wyvern Lord (provided I have bowbreaker), Manaketes, Brides, and Great Lord, well, Lucina Great Lord that is.
