"That goes to his good friend bartre" if you refer as that, will bartre eat it?

[@fluffyninja3467]

Yeah, I actually always used Bartre, and he always turned out pretty nicely. His only crippling flaw is speed, but majority of FE 7 units are so slow, its almost unnoticeable. Probably not the best idea to give him the secret book though, because it only increased his % to strike by 2%, but hey, its still an increase, I suppose

[@jellyunicorn8347]

it's actually the fact that bartre can't double the slow fe7 enemies for a pretty long time that makes him stand out as pretty bad

One thing to point ot about Luna; The things it is useful for, while rare, are also things that other units usually struggle with which makes Luna seem *that* much more effective. It's that situational spell, it's really good when it matters, and even though it is rare, when it matters, it makes him comparatively more useful than the other units.

[@carpediem6841]

Something I think is funny about Canas is that people have made Luna out to be this great bosskilling weapon when a brave weapon + FIlia’s might does a ton more damage and basically trivializes every boss post Ch. 26. Like seriously there isn’t a single boss lategame that doesn’t go down to this (except Denning but that’s only because Nils isn’t available for that chapter, and Lloyd but he’s not even guaranteed to show up). Like tough bosses like Limstella get absolutely destroyed by this (Vaida w/ a brave lance + filia’s might literally ORKO’s her). It’s crazy how good it is and it’s crazy how people think that Luna is a superior option.

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

Luna is Good but it is not the only Option. The High hit along with Pierce is too good, but that crit trully makes it supreme

[@Emoconnors]

Counterpoint: Compared to Luna, Brave + Filia's Might is more expensive, must be done at close range, and requires giving up your dancer's turn before the attack is even made. It's more certain, sure, but Luna is better for a max-rankings run.

[@PharmDiff]

I see your point, but comparing a unit's boss killing potential with Filia's Might vs Canas w/o doesn't seem like a fair comparison.

[@Mekkkah]

Fila's Might on Vaida or some other flier makes sense though cause they can more easily get up close to these bosses with that boost intact.

[@carpediem6841]

lherrebout Even with FIlia’s might Canas lacks the speed to ORKO half of them and the magic to ORKO the other half. The only boss from Kenneth/Jerme to Limstella it would work on is Sonia, every other boss isn’t killed by him. Granted, the lack of Nils means you can’t use it on that hero boss/Denning, and Lloyd’s too bulky to be 2HKO’d and too fast to be quad, but every other boss does go down to it with fairly high chance of success. Even Maxime and Linus, Maxime goes down to Harken + brave axe + filia’s might, and Linus goes down to Jaffar + brave sword + filia’s might w/ about a 50% chance of success.

[@thewindysage1538]

This is quite an interesting video although it makes me worry about a dystopia were everyone takes you too seriously and only do optimal strategies We all know that the only good magic user is Renault

[@DSaC_]

I remember when I first played HHM, I was constantly trying to find ways to use Nosferatu and Luna because everybody online always talked about how broken they are, but I legitimately could never find any time where they weren't worse than Flux. For years I thought I was just missing something since people online still talked about how broken they are. Nice to know that I was right about it this entire time.

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

I mean, they do have some application, but it's more fringe use.

[@Timmio.]

Luna is good bc +20 crit and it's useful against high res bosses (limstella, sonia, nergal, dragon and room 2 in the final map) Other than that and maybe CoD and NoF, it's not really that great, no. Regarsing Nosferatu, definitely overrated in fe7

[@Sentient_Blob]

Luna is only good for chunk damage against bosses

[@lacreatura4737]

"Nooooo you can't just ignore the magic triangle like that!!!" "hahahaha flux goes bweeeow" Jokes aside. Canas is solely the reason why I like shamans and other dark magic users in FE. Not to mention he's pretty damn reliable when he promotes.

[@frostatine]

Imagine being such a hipster that you become a dark mage then join the good guys

[@0ctopusComp1etely]

After playing way, way too many playthroughs of FE7, I can say with confidence that the best magic user: Doesn't matter at all. Individual chapters may be easier or harder depending on who you choose based on weapon strengths, individual stats, etc. (or you could choose multiple mages, and cover more bases! Scary thought, I know), but the overall game doesn't really force players to use a particular unit. Play-throughs really comes down to who you want to use, just because you want to/ they match how you're currently wanting to play.

[@threadinfinite7070]

Happy 10k special Mekkah! Puts away Canas fan art. Jokes aside Canas is my favorite dark mage, but I've never thought he was the best just a serviceable unit with ok bases that might be worth promoting due if he grows well. You brought up a lot of good points Mekkah, great vid.

[@SteelWingKnight]

Congrats on 10k man! Keep the quality analysis coming! Canas is definitely one of my favorites in FE7. Though a lot of that is admittedly because I like his character/personality (especially his thirst for knowledge and unique perspective on magic) and the uniqueness (and coolness) of being only playable dark mage in the game (with those awesome animations).

[@spadesjester9996]

Nice analysis of Canas Mekkah. He's my favorite dark mage user. I always promote him when he hits lvl 10. I enjoy using Nosferatu despite slowning him down.

[@zephemerality]

This makes me so happy. I really enjoy the practical analysis you employ, and the methodical way you address all your points. My favorite part was definitely the comparison of the three magic users. I think it really put Canas' skills into perspective.

[@TheRewind260587]

Haha that waifu acronym really fooled me. Love those creative titles. I really enjoyed this segment a lot; I don't know what it is but you sounded really chipper and more animated for this one. Thanks again for all the great and entertaining content. All the jokes and goofing around with Mangs for POR is awesome too. Oh man..unit diversity? I stopped doing that a long time ago because of you. I only suffer in desert maps. It was kind of weird seeing my team in other games or hacks just being paladins, magic knights, wyvern knights/lords and pegasus knights. I kind of felt like my squad at times like I was Bern or Travant as a protagonist. I hate magic knights though; sages look so cool but..utility, sigh. Thanks again Mekkah, can't wait to hear more and see what else you come up with. They entertain and educate so much.

[@medalkingslime4844]

Thanks this video really helped me unlock the full potential of my favorite FE character. Erk and Lucius are abysmal to try and train on HHM. Canas is the simplest choice to get a physic user with actual range before Pent and honestly I think he should be recommended for newcomers to HHM over any other growth magic user. He just makes so many aspects of the game so much easier.

[@adamdobrowolski2510]

It's totally valid where you're coming from, but I must say: the context of which Luna and Nosferatu has utility are in situations that few other units are viable. For example, if I need a brave weapon or a Final Chapter god-like character to execute something Canas can do with a tome that has as much as *105* uses (since Luna can be found thrice in FE7), then I'm going to take Canas as my weapon of choice. I'm not losing funds or using a character that ultimately trivializes the storyline struggle. Sure, it's understandable to value combat throughout all chapters while not putting too much weight into the last few maps/battles. But at the same time, if you're trying to win the whole thing and/or get the best rank, you need the giant killer to execute your gameplan to its best efficiency. This is especially notable when the tougher challenges require a lot more work/funds/strategy to execute in *convincingly* winning fashion. On that note, two things I think that should be mentioned: 1) Body ring(s): While this can go for any unit, the body ring is a big help to Canas. But given the usefulness when Canas isn't weighed down, the usefulness is amplified here. For example, given a Body Ring and about two level-ups per map, Canas wouldn't be doubled by Lloyd in Four-Fanged Offense (given you go with the tougher map of the two for Chapter 24 HHM). And he's about the most-feared opponent for Canas, IMO. Also, give Canas both rings, and now Luna doesn't weigh him down at all. Obviously, this doesn't come until Chapter 31, but still. Meanwhile, I personally don't worry about Nosferatu, as it's always been hideous to use in enemy phase IMO. Too many potential uses in one turn, and it saps funds. Usually a player phase attack and switch afterwards is the best route for Nosferatu, and that is a big help with unit spaces are more limited in HHM, especially when few units are promoted. The utility of a free staff use cannot be understated. 2) Enemy Types: I don't think I'm misinforming people in saying that mages/sages are by and far the most common magic-using enemies. (And this isn't even getting into the obvious about the bosses.) And given how heavy they can hit, Canas comes in seamlessly with his res/advantage, relative to his physical allies. And even if we are to ignore magic triangles, his defense is nothing to dismiss. He's far more likely to take on a physical opponent than Erk or especially Lucius. I mean, his D is pretty much on par with Raven (without HM bonuses, I believe). It's better than Florina's. And while speed/skill obviously still play a factor, I'm feeling fine relatively speaking if Canas takes a hit. Match-ups are nearly as important as the units themselves, and Canas sees so many advantages while running into few disadvantages. I know you don't like people using personal experience in their arguments, as anecdotal evidence don't make much of a logical debate. But Canas is almost always my MVP in FE7 (either him or Marcus), and it's for reasons you mentioned, combined with the two added factors from me. Oh, and Luna. Sorry, but beating the big bad generally gets you MVP status. I never have trouble building up Canas, because he is useful in almost every chapter (sans one -- Chapter 21 -- since I never do FFO with Lloyd's map) and he is very effective in combat as long as you don't expose yourself to being doubled in enemy phase (which really shouldn't happen much in FE7 with strong tactics). Maybe I'm overlooking some things, but I feel fairly confident in considering Canas among the best units in the game (which I feel like strays from the opinions of most diehard players).

[@Sines314]

I think you're right about the Body Ring. You can think of the Body Ring is being either a bonus to speed, or a bonus to might, depending on what the unit using it was going to do. It's just a simple stat booster. However, on Canas, his heavier weapons aren't simply higher might. Luna and Nosferatu have special effects that are fairly unique. And so you're doing more than just giving him more might, you're 'unlocking' better Resistance-negation and self-healing. You could say the same for other characters, because not all weapons are simply "Heavier, but does more damage". But those other weapons have more users. Canas is a character with mediocre speed and constitution. If he can't double (or avoid being doubled) by the dark tomes, then nobody can. But you can just make sure to give the heavier weapons that do have special effects to units with tons of speed and/or high constitution already. The Body Ring is less likely to be the difference between being able to use these specialty weapons sometimes, or not at all. On the other hand, when just Flux-spamming, it would be wasted, whereas other units can enjoy the simple power boost it offers.

[@agentfluffy]

you are blowing up now! proud to say I've watched you for around a year keep up the good work.

[@justcallmexen]

I have watched this a few times and while I can agree with many points, others seem strange to me. Yes he should basically use Flux for 95% of the game but Luna is still great for taking down bosses, especially during the last chapter when otherwise you need such high strength or magic to take them down and they DON'T wait around for you at a throne. And then comparing who beats these bosses faster? Yeah maybe Hawkeye can kill off a boss quicker but you know what's even faster than that? Hawkeye and Canas together. Luna works at range, allowing a powerful unit with a powerful 1 range weapon to deal even more damage. To get those S ranked games means finishing chapters faster and Luna can possibly help do just that. Yes it is silly to use against anyone with less than 7 resistance, but then you use Flux. The other thing I don't agree with is... his battle animation. Yeah it's cool but you've seen it before and it's LONG, it's perhaps the least favorite thing about him for me, prompting me to turn off battle animations for him specifically because it drags on so much where most others are snappy.

[@roxienatura]

This was my thought too, especially regarding Luna. Even though Luna is very niche, it covers an important niche that the rest of his kit doesn't. It's exactly what you want in a "silver bullet".

[@royplatt455]

As much as it might be a pitfall to try and cram one of every class in your roster, I feel like FE7 really does allow you to make use of all 3 basic Magic classes effectively.

[@XxILikePie03]

A great tactician once said, "Yu-Gi-Oh! players don't read their cards."

[@brandonlockhart7073]

This series is amazing. I've always liked Canas. After watching this I gave a try at level 11 promotion after the pirate ship map. It's really nice to have a staff user who is able to take a hit and dish out damage in return. I ended up fielding him every map but the final chapter. Even when I got pent Canas stuck around because staff users are nice to have. The ideas you present end up making my entire play through noticabley easier.

[@pvt8524]

12:06 the weight of nosferatu 14 - his constitution 8 = 6, his speed 14 - the AS penalty 6 = 8, the same as his base. base canas with flux loses one AS putting his spd at 7. tl;dr early promoted canas with nosferatu is faster than base canas with flux.

[@LevinsConvoy]

While I may be one of the biggest Canas fans, I don't disagree with too many of your points. I usually always stick to Flux and like using Nosferatu when it comes to walling certain mages who I know can't OHKO him. Luna as well when I fight some Mage bosses as well since I did notice that 0 might. I am glad you shed light on his character in a time where every dark mage now is edgy for the sake of the edge or just trying to win you over via sex appeal. I did enjoy this video, although I do hope you do more FE7 characters soon. One character I think is underrated is Sain, especially when he has a Support with Rebecca.

Canas is my favorite male FE character, so thanks for covering him fairly and honestly! Love ya Mekkah, keep it up.

[@SolusEmsu]

The first point, about First Impressions being important, is definitively why I personally favor Canas. My very first playthrough of FE7 my Canas got an *amazing* lucky growth set, and ended up hard-capping every stat except Luk. I have never been able to replicate this again on subsequent playthroughs, but that first run (Eliwood Normal because first run, and promoted 20/20) he was so brokenly overpowered that I have loved him ever since, even on runs where he turned out a lot weaker due to the RNG not giving him lucky uber power growths. I know that his averages are not terribly impressive, but I still hope every game that he will somehow do this again and ascend to the godhood I know he is capable of doing because he did it once. xD

[@tahubob]

[@shadedhydra6674]

How about going over Oswin? I've heard others say he's one of the best knights in the series but due to his class I've not used him as much as others

[@jellyunicorn8347]

ShadedHydra i think he's pretty overrated. he's useful for the first 3-4 maps of the game, but then your units start getting good (i.e. doubling and thus ORKOing) and the maps get too big for him to really contribute much.

[@duyminhpham8083]

He is pretty much the only good GBA knight but he is not really essential in his game past the early game.

[@jayrpg9114]

what do you mean due to his class. All knights have the same class. Hes one of the best knights because he is actually useful for a few maps unlike other ones.

[@duyminhpham8083]

I think it is more due to who he is up against in his class: Ostian failures and Gilliam.

[@shadedhydra6674]

JayRPG By his class, I just meant that I didn't use him as I don't use knights as often as other types of units because I've always preferred other types of tanky units like Wyverns in comparison even with the bow weakness

[@ExorionHagen]

I love your videos. With that aside I gotta say this one was really enjoyable. Canas is the only magic user I use during my runs of FE7 (as seldom as they are) mostly because he is ready to go. Having to invest some time into a unit is ok if the results are good. But having to train / babysit someone for ages is something I absolutely dislike to do in most FE games.

[@acsu96]

Also I remember listening to dondon151's commentary and being like 'mekkah? Isn't that the same name as that Smogon poster? Is that the same guy?' congrats man

[@Swordsmaster]

On my first play through of FE7, I actually promoted all of my units at level 10, even Canas. Looking back on it, I was actually using some good units without knowing, mostly all of the pre promotes. Canas was pretty useful, and was perfect for fighting units with Bolting, and overall he was useful. I didn't bring him to the end game as Pent and Athos this were more viable.

[@raysevere5417]

Ngl in Hectors game I think Canas is like the 3rd best magic user in Hectors game. Best is Nino. Number 2 is Lucius. If you level them up to 20 then promote them and get them to level 20 they hit the hardest. And Lucius activates his special the most of all magic users

[@sirwolfy9372]

I love Canas, he may drag in the beggining, doing cheap shots, but when promoted he can do much better, having staves he can heal and having more power to avoid and support, also, I like having him with Nino in Cog of Destiny and with Jaffar/Matthew promoted they can be a great moving Wall until last chapter.... I don't use Luna that often, just because of its hindrance but it's great as dmg pile or finisher

I'm down for learning more about Mekkkah's waifus

[@jrRabet]

so i'm not sure how viable what i do with canas is, but i thought i'd mention it. i usually go out of my way to buy him a couple of body rings. combine that with one that you can steal in a chapter i forget and you end up with a con of 14 after promotion. its a steep cost to be sure but freely using nosferatu to mop up mobs of enemies that would have otherwise killed you due to chip damage is wonderful. not saying this is a super op tactic, but it is one of the reasons i love canas so much.

You can't buy Body Rings in this game so I'm not sure how you're doing this. You only get two Body Rings total. They can help a bit but given that Nosferatu itself is pretty limited I don't think it makes too big of a difference in the grand scheme of things.

[@jrRabet]

Mekkkah hmm. maybe i was confusing canas with ewan.

[@jrRabet]

Mekkkah better question, wouldn't speedwings be even better than a body ring? can you buy those? is canas a good recipient for them? when would you use them? i guess what i'm asking is do you have a guide on when and why to use stat boosters? just an idea that i thought could be video worthy.

Finally, a look into the waifu that's as cool as a blizzard! (wait, oops)

[@TheDiego908]

17:07 this guy roasted 99% of Gamefaqs users

[@JD..........]

Lucius is a speed demon, and will frequently one round once he gets shine and a few levels. Add in the C staves on promotion, and he always gets easier growth for me.

[@mythguard6865]

That acronym is golden!

Finally the 10k special

We Analyze Interesting Fire Emblem Units Or waifu........GENIUS!

[@misterbadguy7325]

The note about how if a character can use unique tomes but those tomes suck reminds me a lot of some arguments about Salem. Like, yeah, he can use Jormungand and Fenrir! Woo! Except Jormungand is one of the heaviest tomes in the game, so why bother? And Fenrir isn't really different from any other siege tome, and it's not like Salem starts out being able to use it. So Salem's status as the game's only Loptyr Mage is almost completely irrelevant, except for the fact that he gets a boost to his staff rank on promotion. Which, incidentally, like Canas, is the ACTUAL reason that Salem is good, that he's a staff-user who doesn't need too much investment.

"Recruit the thumbs up button by turning it blue" woah you've ascended Mekkkah

[@davidbayley4785]

Nice video Mekkah. How about a video where you rank the series' Jeigans from worst to best?

[@Meanlucario]

Honestly, Canas seems like a unit I'd use anyway since I love dark mages.

[@ryomathekillers7421]

Hey Mekkah, I was wondering if you could a video on Lugh from fe6 as I find that most people do overestimate him quite a fair bit. Especially on Hard mode in regards to Lugh.

[@piercebarrientos9536]

I agree, I think Lugh is a great choice for this series.

[@thepotato513]

*Must recruit all units* (especially the thumbs up button)

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

+The Potato The Thumbs up button is a Camus. It won't join you.

[@thepotato513]

But something that looks vaguely like a thumbs up button wearing a mask will join me later

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

+The Potato Whoah...! Are you Sirius?

[@nikso1496]

Canas is more of a investment for late game but he can still drag his weight with no issue

[@letsmakeit110]

I think ppl know unit variety is suboptimal. We want a dark mage for the same reason we want to raise 15 characters, to experience more of the game.

[@SonovaDragon]

When I play FE7, I'll give him a try.

[@Manavine]

I can see someone using Lucius after a lyn hardmode run where Lucius is focused a bit more. ...That being said, Canas really is useful even when Lucius is good.

[@sixtales7681]

Yeah, this is why I play Lyn mode first, because I definitely wouldn't want them to start off like that. At least have them at level 7-8 or higher, but since every battle is forced and you can't choose your own path like in FE8, it makes the game a lot harder and makes have to make a decision on exactly who you want to level up, and who's going to carry you. Though personally I love all three magic users equally.. but that's just me.

[@stellarsub-orbital9922]

I think my pitfall is using "teams". In SS, I use the characters from Renais, 12 in total. In PoR, I use the Greil Mercenaries. In RD, I use Greil Mercenaries and Dawn Brigade.

[@ethanm2926]

I gave Canas a body ring to Canas to help with his con and it actually took a long time to actually have Canas to do more damage Luna and it wasn't until the very end that he doubled anything with luna

[@ethanm2926]

Though I do admit I could have given the body ring to many other low con units

[@Hanesboi]

Didn't realize this was made 1 month exactly before my birthday
