Surprised Excelblem didn't redo the run to actually get the theoretical minimum ranking using the new method in the comments that didn't require 1000 years of nonstop play.

[@gr8glaux813]

This is just an editted movie version. Little sad, but maybe the next mode will come sooner because of it.

[@DJFracus]

maybe he doesn't want to put in the time, but he should at least acknowledge the method that his comment section gave

[@Austin_B626]

Honestly it sounds like a skill issue.

[@acksawblack]

What method? You have like the third comment here lol

[@Austin_B626]

@@acksawblack He made a video on it. I'd you were to theoretically dodge and not hit the bandit in the prolouge you could shave off a tactician star.

[@Outshinedsg]

Ironically, getting the perfect "1 star" tactics rating in FE7 Hard displays extreme skill, because you need extensive game knowledge in order to fail this hard while still being able to complete the game. It's actually more difficult than completing the game "as intended" where you have more tactical options.

15:29 "She is able to un-sheath the Manni Katti, which has deemed her worthy to be its wielder. However, the fact that this Legendary weapon has chosen Lyn means nothing. Because the Lycian League allocates executive power based on heritable noble lineage, and not some farcical Sacaean ceremony." It's always amusing hearing a slight Monty Python reference... Assuming it is one.

[@kalebdoesthings]

The Mario Kart Double Dash thing looks like a joke but the funniest part is that it isn't a joke

[@PokeShadow77]

[@Lady-V]

Though the Mani Katti is apparently worth 0 gold and you can't discard it, if you really wanted to you could let someone die with it, effectively discarding it.

[@chaosamber7719]

I love how not only is FE7's Tactician Rating system both extremely complex and not really important in the grand scheme of things... But getting the worst ranks possible is actually harder than playing the game normally, and this is the one with many infamously hard chapters (Lloyd's version of Four Fanged Offense, Genesis, Battle Before Dawn, etc.)

[@miserable7952]

Cant wait for hector hard mode in worst way

[@sagacious03]

I don't play Fire Emblem, but I love Challenge Runs that radically change the core gameplay, & I think avoiding EXP, wasting money, & sending their units to death in losing battles while wasting turns is exciting, so I'm looking forward to this! Thanks for uploading! Might comment more later!

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

This is amazing xD I love the "hall of shame" moments where you get to see the character dialogue for the worst tactician possible. I'd never seen Lyn's line for the E rank tactician! Looking forward to seeing what Hector has to say!

[@GMOPsyche]

What great timing to finish FE7 Eliwood mode as my first FE game. Glad I discovered this channel.

[@velvetbutterfly]

May I ask why you decided to start with 7 and not a more recent and readily available title?

[@GMOPsyche]

@@velvetbutterfly many reasons actually. -In Brazil paying for switch games is hell, so I didn't go for 3H -I love GBA games, mainly the tactics ones like FFTA and the Shining Force remake so it just felt right -FE7 has a pretty good tutorial in Lyn's tale

The tactician in this run is Lundgren's time traveling son seeking revenge on Lyndis's Legions

[@fluzzythescrub8634]

Oh nice, a -100% run

[@sagacious03]

11:38 Lol. Fitting name for an early game foe, considering glass breaks easily. 20:22 Chapter 4 is hilarious to me, because you learn about this lady's husband, Dorcas, then recruit him JUST so he can die by the bandits he was previously fighting alongside. (Well okay, according to the story, he doesn't die, but still.) 34:00 Lyn, how can you say that after the recent events?! Anyway, neat analysis & run video! Thanks for uploading!

[@Aureels]

Should really Lyndis have recruted that tactician?

[@tmitsurugi7777]

Ok I want this run for Hector Hard Mode

[@Toothache42]

As a possible counter to this sort of run, I am curious to see if it is possible to beat LHM with the most tactician stars possible while also getting Nils to L7 (for 19xx). It is something I have pondered for a while but not attempted

[@sebastianlucas704]

Bit late, but I'm pretty sure it's impossible. You need a considerable amount of turns to grind up nills, at least 500.

[@Toothache42]

@sebastianlucas704 from L1 to L7 using Play takes only 60 turns. However if you include dodge attacks from enemies that's 1 xp per attack, so every 10 attacks focused on Nils reduces this turn count by 1

[@sebastianlucas704]

@@Toothache42 Ah, accidently putting down an extra zero. While Nills can get attacked for extra exp, combat can be tight in Lyn mode.

[@Hex17alv]

Lol, nice nice nice 🤣✨

[@brianforsyth2225]

You say that characters are dying, but strictly, no characters are allowed to die during Lyn's story, since they come back in Eliwood's story later...I'm pretty sure they do even if they are wounded in Lyn's story.

[@brianforsyth2225]

I'd also like to add that some of the star ratings in the tactician rating set could probably be optimized to let you get away with more items, causing net gains to be easier to manage later without throwing out everything you own, or let more characters survive some chapters where you wanted to kill them for minimum survival, without actually gaining any more TP, but that'd require much more precise analysis and rationalizing. "If I kill a character here, I can take more money into the next chapter" kinda deals.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Your status, as a casualty, is repeatable

[@kurtdupree1254]

​@@brianforsyth2225the characters were only thrown away in the last chapters. And why would you care about keeping any alive if it is the end of the route? What you're saying doesn't make sense
