PoR Soren is really iffy, but can destroy the game if he gets just one or two strength/speed growths in the early game. He's also one of the quickest promoted staffers you can get and while it's not as important in PoR as in BB or SS it's still appreciated. RD Soren doesn't have many upsides. Mage caps are super low, specifically the speed. Enemies become res tanks towards the end. Soren is also held back by being a wind mage and wind mages have the worst ultimate tome which only raises luck. To make matters worse, staves are a little more useful in RD, but Rhys starts out with offensive capabilities and staves therefore he isnt gonna really get outpaced by Soren. Pretty bad overall.

Ahh yes, this was an excellent video, well informed and executed in a fantastic way giving the information while also reinforcing the fact everyone is free to do whatever they want and to like the units they like. There's absolutly NOTHING missing from this video... Wait... Actually, now that I think about it, Mekkah did forget to mention the most important stat of all during this great analysis. And that would be the facial hair stat. Its quite easily missed by most unexperienced players but to us most observent of the fe community, this is without a doubt the most important stat you must take into consideration. For this, one must not simply look at numbers but actually use the once thought pointless feature of the portrait. While at first glance may seem to have no gameplay impact, this is the crucal element needed to find this very important statistic. In the case of these two units, Garcia and Ross, upon further investigation, the data found is quite blatant. I mean, Ross has a minus Facal Hair stat while Garcia has almost caped by base. He's only beaten by other goddly bearded units like Athos, time skip Hector or Marcus which are true S tier units. You now know why these units are looked up too in such high regard now. You're welcome. While some may argue that Ross has good brush growth cause of his father's gene which may allow him to surpase him. Saddly, hair growth is a slow stat that can never be leveled up in the time one may spend during the events of the game no matter how long a person decides to play as time is relative to this universe and can never be brought fowards. What this means is that during the events of most Fire Emblem games hair growth is set to zero and all we're left is with are the base bush levels . The only thing which can bring this growth into the game are ingame cutscenes which are more powerful then any statstic or even Kaga himself. I'm sorry to say, but numbers don't lie and so do bases. So, in conclusion, Garcia is just the the better unit during the events of the Sacred Stones and Ross just can't compare with his dad's great sideburns and beard. I do hope that today I have not only taught something to newer players but also brought this very important fact to some unbeknownst veteran players as this is trully the most important statistic in all of the series. (Anyways, don't let your dreams be dreams, just use your favorite units no matter how amazing or objectively bad they may be as long as it makes you happy
@koikoi95104 жыл бұрын
So some of my Favourite things about Ross is his join time, classes, his ability to grow and his supports (firexfire with his father). So Ross to a non LTC or Speedrun is completely able to to reach level 10 in hard mode by the end of chapter 3. the amount of enemies with out 2 range across from walls his very easy to farm him to level 10 if you want to use him and he will face very little danger. Yes this involves playing slow, but other units are still very much capable without the chapter of xp (vanessa maybe being an exception). After chapter 3 comes Chapter 4 (Shocker) which has a lot of undead units which is essentially training grounds for your units making it easy again for ross to get levels to get out of trainee or to catch up on levels as a base tier. The low stats and decent hp on the undead make it pretty easy to protect ross and give him a field day. Outside of this chapter if Ross isnt promoted to base tier I typically bench him by this point and the hatchet will end up with dozla or garcia. Like Mekkkah had mentioned, its fun to watch a unit grow and I think ross is the perfect unit to do this with' because of this join time making it so easy for him to level without using optional grinding (skirmishes or tower/ruins). Another Aspect of Ross that I like is his fire affinity and his fathers fire affinity kinda patching some of the rough spots they both can face. Double fire Afinity with each rank of support will give +1 str +5 hit +5 Evasion +5 Critical. I will say I am completely biased towards Garcia and I think he stands out as one of the best units in the game (but thats another topic entirely). Particularly I think Ross benefits the most from the hit and critical of the support bonuses with evasion and str being a nice addition. Ross will pretty much always be ok on the str department but extra str almost never hurts, but holy crap does ross suck in the skill department and using things outside of the hatchet early on can become a shaky nightmare for those of us who like solid hitrates (one reason I like to get Ross to Hero personally for the swords hit rates). Granted +2 skill isnt much from the early secret book every bit will help and one reason I like to go for the firexfire support as well. For me, If a unit takes a lot of resources and still continues to be bad just by averages or such, they arent worth the upkeep. Investing stat boosters into ross is something I wouldnt recommend because there are other units that can make much more use out of them, and because of the nature of trainee units and his shaky growths, Ross is especially prone to being shafted and becoming unusable, So for me, Is Ross a good unit? Definitely far from it, but because of his early join time and a rather fast growing support with Garcia I find him useable In most cases. On another note, Garcia is completely busted for how I play (although not by much, play style is slightly more credible than personal experience in my opinion. Many people can have a similar play style, only you can have your own personal experience) and I love that Garcia gets firexfire support with Neimi (who I love to use) and Ross, and Garcia's shortcomings are easily fixable, although it does mean sacrificing stat boosters to Vanessa for those that rely on fliers. Few speed penalties come from Garcia with his nice con, and with the extra damage and hit rate of fire supports Garcia doesnt need much outside of Iron Axe, Hand Axe or a Killer Axe. Garcia Has a beautiful amount of HP but defense can be a bit shaky, so the early draco shield goes to Garcia always. With this and maybe the secret book I think Garcia is set, and if he gets a bit screwed just take Amelia's speed wings. So if I had to choose Garcia or Ross, It will always be Garcia, but when using Ross, I do it to make Garcia (and Ross) a better unit.

Ross is one of the units I don't save scum for, he has been a reliable member of the team, and I feel like a big reason why Ross outshines the rest of the Trainees all comes down to availability. He comes into play at Chap. 3 and you don't recruit another trainee until you picked your route and are already 3 chapters in; the unique quirks of his class progression also gives him an edge. Because of this I feel like the Trainee characters in Sacred Stones are introduced poorly as Ross come in the early game while the rest come in midgame. I feel like the Trainees could have been better if they had some sort of system that gives you the option to recruit a specific trainee unit through player choices. In the end you get all three, but when you encounter them is up to your choices. And as one last note they should have all been encountered in the early game.

Is Ross really fun to use? Yeah. Is Ross better than Garcia? Not really. Is Ross still a good unit? Perhaps by fe8 standards.
@awkwardcultism4 жыл бұрын
FE8 standards are Vanessa for flying, Saref/Saleh for healing, Tetties/Tethys for dancing, Milula/Myrrh for tactical nukes and Seto/Seth+Franz for everything else. If all you're trying to do is win the game, the only thing you'll be likely to use Ross for is recruiting Garcia and maybe breaking a wall in Chapter 3.
@tyeus36734 жыл бұрын
@Morph Ball You can objectively use anyone in Fe8 and they'll fulfil whatever role you need them to. If Ross actually made me significantly worse off for using him over Garcia, then yeah, he'd be pretty bad. But that's not the case. So long as you're enjoyment of the game is consistently positive, it doesn't really matter how good someone you're using is.

As for other units to do WAIFU on, I'd like to see one on Lowen. Not necessarily one of my favorite units, but one I feel gets overlooked for various dumb reasons.

@Juan-zs6jt4 жыл бұрын
Charge doesn't help (ballistas and enemies doubling her), but her issues are more about her awful Tanya bases and bows being bad.
@spenser48854 жыл бұрын
a) charge hardly has a real downside on selfina, she would get destroyed by balistae and enemies she cant counter anyways, so it really only adds to her utility, even if it means she was already situational to begin with b) her base stats are fine, she's nearly able to promote from base, and has really good weapon ranks, which let her use the brave bow at base, which basically instantly makes her orko anyways c) being a bow cav in a game with canto after attacking basically nullifies the issue of not being able to counter. it inherently makes them more flexible and more able to get behind the line without having to make the line form around them and something not really related, but her giving a 20% support to glade and getting 10% supports from both glade and leif are worth mentioning
@tacticalstampede56784 жыл бұрын
Shame that charge doesn't even help her against most enemies, since they consistently have more hp than her unless you give her life rings/hp scroll level ups. So she mostly gets charge on the Ballista, which one round her even with an early promotion. The utility she gets with Canto/Instant Brave Bow/Rescue are all good though. In most cases, an early promoted Selphina one rounds with the brave bow, though sometimes its weight prevents that. In fact, unless you were babysitting Tanya/Ronan, or somehow got Dagdar's bow rank to A, she's the de facto Brave Bow wielder until *maybe* Xavier.

@maltheopia4 жыл бұрын
Stat averages mask variance. Imagine if I received a unit with decent bases at the third chapter that had a 70% chance of getting zero growths or a 30% chance of capping everything by level 20 unpromoted. Averages would show the character as being completely atrocious, but who cares about the average? If he doesn't turn out, I'll have 'wasted' a few levels, but who cares, I have a lot more units to pick from. Unless I get RNG-screwed on the replacements, too, the wasted investment is painfless. To put it another way, take FE7's Marcus. His averages don't quite put him at endgame material. He gets very, very far but not all the way there. That said: A) even if his bases don't quite get him all the way there, who cares, you have a bunch of kickass characters to swap in, who cares if by Nergal you have to bench him and B) Marcus still has a reasonable chance, even with his bad growths, of gaining just enough stat points to be endgame material.

@fusrosandvich37384 жыл бұрын
First, I would like to note it's extremely easy to level ross in the map right after you recruit him, where you get colm. Every enemy is behind a wall and doesn't have 2 range except for a far-off archer, so ross can pepper them with his hatchet easily and get to level 10. Second, the ocean seal you need to become a berserker would otherwise just go to colm, who doesn't particularly need the ability to open locks without lockpicks, and you also get rennac almost immediately after getting the ocean seal, so colm is kind of overshadowed. There really aren't any places in sacred stones that require two thieves. Unless you need to sell the ocean seal it's pretty much just for ross. Third, he's the only trainee who doesn't particularly the tower to level grind in, due to the aformentioned colm map. Since I don't use the tower in my runs anymore, this is a big deal for a trainee unit, since...it means I can actually use him.

@bladerdj35033 жыл бұрын
I feel that capped stats, except for things like the Apotheosis DLC of Awakening (actually it is even better to use DLC-Skills to get over these limits) shouldn't be a thing that defines a class of being good or bad. Unless it's very low, like 15, in a range that a character can realistically hit during a normal run which is generally not the case. Especially in a game like Sacred Stones. The stats got higher and higher over the years and people like maxing things out. Idk about the Postgame of Sacred Stones. But while technically a cap of 30 Str is of course better than a Str of 25, it doesn't matter if you'll not really reach these kind of stats/levels in a casual run. Even in a game like FE6, which is kinda long, or Three Houses (the longest game in the series), not many if even one at all will reach the maximum Level of those games. Although Three Houses get's ridiculous with a Max. Level of 99. At this point, all Stats of every unit should be capped anyway. If you don't count units like Karel and Niime, which start with a base level close to 20/20, usually only 1 or maybe 2 of your units that you trained from the start will be capable of reaching these levels. And even if you max out the potential level ups a unit can gain - It's not guaranteed to get mutliple stats to cap. Max Stats usually are irrelevant for Debates like these.
@YOSHIERIDER3 жыл бұрын
It varies depending on the game. Stat caps definitely matter in FE9 and FE10. Your trained units will be capping a few by endgame, and in FE10, it's a major consideration in tiering. The GBA games are less generous with Exp (FE6 is less generous with good units who cap more than 1 or 2 stats), so caps don't usually matter. FE13 is interesting. On Lunatic and Luna+, caps can matter late game, but it depends on how much postgame content you want to play. Have you really beaten the game if you don't recruit Priam?
@bladerdj35033 жыл бұрын
@@YOSHIERIDER For me a game is done when you defeat the final boss. However, considering that the game kinda wants you to train your units as much as possible, playing the Spot Pass Chapters as intended Gaiden Chapters might be recommended. It really makes things difficult on how to rank or talk about characters in Awakening and Fates. Never played those on Lunatic but the 3Ds games onwards also added cap bonuses for each individual units which makes this point more interesting to discuss. And from what I've heard you want to have as good units as possible for this difficulty so it can be considered as relevant there too. But yeah, I totally forgot FE10. In that game, Cpas really make or break a unit. Heck, it is possible to easily manipulate stat gains with the Bonus Exp Feature and I managed to max out all stats (plus the level) of my Jill on accident. For this game, caps really are relevant. And given it's length it even is possible for multiple units to hit Level 20/20/20 ._. 9, I don't really know if Caps are that big of a deal, my group at the end of my first run did look similiarly mixed from level between 20/10 to near 20/20 as usual. Caps in 9 do matter for FE10 Bonuses I guess and the Final Boss Fight against Ashnard as well as the Black Knight fight are both very difficult which is why we got units like the Laguz Royals and a way to end the BK Fight instantly by escaping. These options were nessecary to make Ashnard and BK defeatable without softlocking yourself and that gives the question if "how many stats can that unit cap" are that relevant since there are only so few people that can take on Ashnard in the end. Although, since it's possible thanks to Bonus Exp, it is more likely to cap multiple units at 20/20. But for most other games, my point is that mostly a unit has to gain as much exp as possible to cap 1 or multiple stats in their promoted state. Which is not often the case with many units in multiple games. ALTHOUGH unpromoted units can have relevant caps as well. Asbel for example (although again, Thracia might be another special case because every stat caps at 20) is a wonderful Unit to promote instantly since he will easily max out Speed thanks to his awesome Promotion gains. And the other stats will look quite good too. Also units like Rutger and Shanna from FE6 tend to max out their best growing stats easily too with the Skill of Rutger being the most important stat in the game. So to improve my statement from before I'd say that you shouldn't really look at the caps of a class or a unit (the best potential final outcome of a unit) to decide if it's good, bad or better than another unit, but instead of what the unit will bring to the table along the entire way. Max Stats, just like Growth Rates (to a certain degree) aren't as relevant as certain other things.

Something that always stays unmentioned about ross is if you ask me his best attribute. The garcia support. It is ridiculously fast at 10 turns for C, 30 for B and in the super late game 50 for A. This is massive for both in everything but a low turn count playtrough. A super easy C alone is worth 1 attack and 5% in hit/crit/avoid, all very valuable in patching their hit rates and making it easier for ross to get the kills he needs. By B rank they have a pretty ridiculous 2 atk and 10% hit/crit which is on top of ross' 15 crit from being berzerker and that 10% hit/avoid does wonders when parked in forest tile with a hand axe

So, I'm comparing the averages of both in equal class paths. On average, comparing Ross to Garcia, Ross has... 7.1 less HP, Caps STR 1 level later, 1.55 less SKL, 3.1 more SPD, 9.8 more LCK, 1 more DEF, and 4.15 more RES than Garcia, if they both end up at 20/20. So he's less likely to get doubled, more likely to dodge, more resistant to crits, and takes less damage in general. More defensive than Garcia, but still usable.
