Was summoning for Ike years ago when he first came out and then got a 5 star Seliph that pity broke me at 6%.

[@ltranc]

SELIPH SWEEP

[@nickelouscage]

Been playing since day 1. Went all in on the “Winters Envoy” for Christmas Robin and Tharja. Eirika and Oscar were still in the 5* pool. What a waste

[@marcosmolares5910]

Luke is known in the community to be the cursed pity breaker. When you get him for the first time you lose your pitybreaker virginity they say...

[@Palasid11]

I wanted Luke for since his release… only got him recently and then proceeded to get an immediate second.

[@Harukakanata909]

I am a day 1 player and still to this day do not have a Luke.

[@RAFOU_X8]

Day 1 player here. I was pitybroken by Merric 5 times when he was on the 5☆ pool. He later became my very first +10. 😂

[@zacharylucas3193]

This is why I have a +10 Hawkeye…

[@XxAgeofLovexX]

merrick was my first 5 star and i was incredibly upset because even back then he was pretty bad xd

[@vamprisa1]

I've gotten pity broken by Ced so many times that even if he becomes a really good unit to have one day, I'm still going to send him home every time I get him

[@ChumiminvonMorris]

Glad I'm not the only one

[@leoaltivez7161]

Pulse smoke fodder

[@tsukimilo]

Thank you, I have like 4 sitting in barracks waiting for a Pulse Smoke 4 because I don't even like him enough to build him, even if he gets good through a refine/arcane

[@vamprisa1]

@@leoaltivez7161 I hate him so much that I don't even want to fodder him :)

[@aroperdope]

​@@vamprisa1 Ugh! I can't stand his smile...

[@KatsuWolf]

I got pity broken by Luke so many times, I ran out of units to give away his brave sword.

[@ToonfieldAnimations]

Zeshado: mercedes is a bad pity breaker *pheonixmaster1 wants to know your location*

[@bugjams]

A follow-up video on, "Which pity-breakers have aged the best?" would be interesting. Some got some pretty decent refines at this point. Maybe it could wait until Melady and Echidna gets their refines. Silque for example got a pretty great refine, now getting pity-broken by her doesn't feel so bad. Actually a decent merge project at this point.

[@erosennin4444]

I agree with this 100%. If anything, i would add that theres still more trash in the pools and they definitely need a hige overhaul

[@BlackCatCards]

This has to be my fave type of content from you, absolutist gold you’re pumping out

[@VallaPhantasm]

Niime was done so dirty being slapped with a generic tome and being the only colorless to have it. I still like Menace skills at least but that's just me lmao

[@BraveBlitz]

God I feel ancient remembering all of these older pitybreakers…

[@Spectralmyrrh]

At least if you have Niime you can use the tome on the summoner for Mjolnir's Strike, that's... something, I guess.

[@ShursGarden]

It took me *so* long to get Niime, I have no idea why either. Also I like Atk/Res Menace, I always need that.

[@dry90125]

I got pity broken by Ced so often that I actually built him in hall of forms. Now I’m just itching for the day they announce his refine.

[@ludgerkres.1437]

I wouldn't mind being pity broken by Niime. Though I guess we will wait for her refine. But that will take what, a year or two minimum? But man I am sad that no one from Elibe's potential dark mages got Apocalypse. Probably the coolest tome animation in all of Fire Emblem.

[@onefan9195]

Never expected to see a video like this but im really glad you made it, was an unexpected surprise 😁 brilliant video, you're feh content is some of the best on youtube and your video ideas are definitely the most creative! Keep up the good work 🎉😁😁

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

I only got one or two Adachi- er, Pythons as a pity-breaker, but (especially after being in the HoF) I'm glad I built him up; he's one of my best ranged cavalry units.

[@x1XTaylorX1x]

Luke is unironically decent if you slap dull close on him for his refine effect to always work. I did some abyssals with him, also his voice lines are SOUL

[@callmeanata]

That sounds like a really fun tech, I wouldn't mind getting him now. Triple death blow brave user :DDD

[@Yarharsuperpirate]

I'd like to bring up Rennac as an awful pitybreaker A slot is outdated, and disarm trap is literally a useless skill outside of AR, and has even lost alot of value now due to traps it doesn't work on. Ontop of Cath being added right around the same time as just a straight up better choice due to ease of merges.

[@Gracereza]

I agree, but he does have Vicious Dagger as a good inheritable weapon.

[@danishanaqi317]

Same rennac manage to pity break me twice when im trying to +10 my bride micaiah i dont even know what to do with him cause i already have 3 larum for disarm trap fodder

[@Yarharsuperpirate]

@@Gracereza Which is also available under divine codes, via its seasonal variant

[@gvsparks1471]

Clair was one of my worst pity breakers... Ah the times before the summoning pool changes

[@RockmanX47]

Jeez, so had something unique happen on my video where my audio muted right as Bantu shows his mug and that was some creepy shit. Thought it was a bit for a moment until Sothe passed by.

[@ChickenKing17]

Love your videos they are always so good 👌👌

[@jonathangp65]

The fact that everyone but me was able to get him as a five star unit until MUCH later post permanent demote makes me sad since I'm still on a drought for him. _(Also: Never going to forgive I.S. for shafting my best tiger boi that badly with his base kit. Still will make him the best I can, but still...)_

[@joshawatt3604]

This video was a painful stroll through memory lane. But honestly, brain was thinking "you're my friend now. We're getting soft tacos later!" the entire video.

[@forfaerghus8092]

I don't know about you, but I really like the Menace skills. So my pity breaker Niime served that purpose

[@guywhoateallthepizza1031]

Very bold of you to post this before FEH Channel

[@fimbulvetr6129]

An intrusive thought crossed my mind when I rolled Rearmed Chrom Maybe I could build my Luke… Oh wait nvm I sent all 6 of them to the feather grinder :D

[@chrisengland3798]

While I do agree that IS holds onto alot of units for far longer than needed, Silque has more value from the dazzling staff 3 skill. Since inheriting is stuck at 4, you could only get either the B or the Weapon fully. I've never truly been pity-broken, but that's because i have had uses for all the units i've pulled: merges or inheritance are the usual end point. The other thing is that IS refuses to move certain Tier 3 skills to the 3-4 star pool: Solo is one of the best examples of this as the only 4-stars that come with the tier 3 are seasonal demotes. Niime is fine for what she is: they just have to experiment with Colorless Tomes more. As a last thought, I do think it's depressingly funny that demotes are no better than year 1-2 (maybe certain 3s) 5-stars: No PRF (in most cases); no big specials; a highly sought after tier 3 being locked behind the 5-star rating, and a demote tier-3 being either a dead-end skill (Sylvain's Spur Atk/Def) or a skill that existed on another unit (Bridal Flavia's Rouse Atk/ Spd was already on Hans)

[@ItsCrunkulous]

ive been pity broken by niime twice. it isnt a lot, but its weird that it happened twice

[@mayonnaisejake7191]

Even if he's not on the list, I will always have a vendetta against Oscar for pity breaking me 3 times trying to get myself a Nephenee back in the day

[@zimzam900]

I remember for a long time people were tired of get Pity broken by Karel. I got excited one day because i finally summoned him after trying for like a year, and people where shocked that i was actually happu about getting him.

[@GayAndDog]

Me with Shiro lmao

[@nicocchi]

I unironically like Menace skills for being a brainless 300 SP C slot so all my colorless being Niime would be an upgrade from what I already get

[@zalezagoon1247]

I remember being pity broken by Merric, Mordecai, Titania, and Altena. Altena broke me so often, she's the one unit I hate the most. I know she's 3 and 4 now, but they time I summon her I continue to get a flash of anger for being broken before I remember she can't break me anymore.

[@Scrantonicity2]

Atk/Res fodder is pretty decent, and as for fallen tiki, she can be used as a stepping stone for special fighter 4 fodder, if you have it.

[@whimsyy3199]

Jaffar was my personal bane of pity breakers. At no point have I summoned for Jaffar. My Jaffar is +8. He just wont leave me alone

[@AKingofBacon]

I got Lilina to +6 back in the day from pity breaks alone. And it was always when I was around 5%+ pity rate because of course it was. Weirdly enough, she kinda became one of my favorite units since she hard carried me through early Aether Raids with a -Blade tome and Vantage set with her high attack stat

[@EinSilverRose]

I-I'll take those Neimis if you don't want them.

[@adrianr.j.7050]

Cuantos cambios desde que empezó el juego, me acuerdo que en mi primer día conseguí mi Cecilia que actualmente tengo en mi equipo principal y la sigo usando. También la cinemática de animación de Marth, que recuerdos.

[@rust4259]

The thumbnail alone inspired me to say OLWEN Not any specific olwen JUST olwen

[@ChikuTenebresRattus]

I hope this ages well tonight, and we got another pool demote 🐀

[@tanachisan]

I have a story with my main account it barely have any premium unit to some more pluses much less to plus ten its to cry about and i wanted to even delete it but i was not encouraged enough to do it because it does have some units i really enjoy using and alotof my favorites but none at plus ten because i always only get one and than pitybreakers all the time and on leg shez new year i did not get anything that i can even remember but i remember coming to a paid spark and its sad

[@CatsLilaSalem]

I think the tactic skills where pretty good when they came out, as an hone user. The 2 range made them much better to use, and i was using a mixed movement type team. The biggest problem with them was panic

[@mateobonavento3939]

I still have my 5 star Altena from when I was a new player. She pitybroke me a couple weeks before she was no longer summonable at 5 stars so that was fun.

[@koganeitou]

0:04 *HOLY F&$#!!!* You triggered my PTSD of when Guinevere and Melady came out and I was getting a heart attack with nearly every summon, and I was trying to get my rates up doing full circles (gotta save those orbs!) And finally got one Guinevere at like 5%... And stopped after that. She was the only real good unit so I sparked her, but wanted another copy. Man... luckily I never got a 5☆ Merlinus. I woulda been so mad if I did. I know many people did and it was probably so frustrating because he was literally the worst 5☆ unit to come out in the history of Feh. Hands down. I don't even use him for the memes like some people do. But yeah. That was probably so genuinely bad for my heart summoning on that banner 😂💀 Sheeeesh dude. My heart goes out to the people who got pity-broken by Merlinus, between his debut and now....

[@jayday3818]

man, i feel that Kana/Jaffar pick. Those broke me till I was broke....

[@elite9237]

When are they changing thr poty breakers again? I feel like its been a while since cyl4 units got added to the 4* special

[@s.a.k.i7768]

I'm surprised you didn't mention Sue,Ewan and Lugh from gen3 and Hubert from gen4. Gen 3 was the time IS was very stingy with their demotes and would do whatever it takes to make even shitty units like them 5 star locked units by giving them either a shitty Tier 4 skill(Who USES HONES SPEED 4???) and just a rally+(the number of times I got Ranulfs is endless), or niche skills almost nobody uses(Sabotage for Ewan,and whatever is Hubert's C skill)

[@thecursed_1lordofcats738]

At least Hubert is now a good support unit with his refine. I run him as an offensive rally support with Rally Atk/Spd+ and Spd Feint so he can penalize all stats and inflict multiple status effects on cardinal foes.

[@themechabomb]

Yeah, i rembember getting my pitty broken by Leanne, and the first time was good, like, new unit, but the next 2 were not so good and made me not pulling for grey units for a long time. On another note, i'm very surprised you put Fallen Tiki, but yeah, you have a point, not worst unit, but definetly the least valuable. On a funny side, i just got my fourth Fallen Tiki, so now i can do Røkkr Sieges with a blindfold thanks to 4 of them with Aether.

[@bylethswife]

i will always hate base Hinoka for pity breaking me on both my main account and my 2nd account. she was always pity breaking me. even now, if i get her, i send her home. ive always hated Hinoka and her alts

[@TheKingSothis]

I remember the fury I felt when I got pity broken by a minus attack Roy way back during book 1. Devastating days back then

[@luis70450]

i somehow got Academy Edelgard as a pity breaker when she would appear in the special 4% rate 5 times and now i got a +10 Edelgard and she HURTS like hell, just need some good fodder for her to shine

[@Superluigi881]

I've been broken by Innes twice and gotten him from the 4 star special rate at least once, maybe twice. He's gone home every time. My least favourite pity breaker I've ever gotten by far.

[@HeroicCid]

I got 3 copies of Astrid in a one month span between October and November of 2022 while trying to summon Ganglot and Ascended Eir.😭

[@Robin-234]

The thing is, every unit that was bad was bad despite their skills before SI. Nowadays sure, some units are bad but you can definitely still use them as fodder. Back then however... Edit: I made it sound like it was a long time before SI and it really wasn't lol, but still, at launch... Oof.

[@free2lose927]

Could we get a best demote 4 star special hero list. For example ive gotten a +1 brave edelgard off free copies and she does work

[@zxylo786]

Gotta love the Luke!

[@NightKnight13]

i have gotten way too many ceds i dread getting him 😭 i also completely forgot about the joint 4/5 star units, the rage i felt by getting pity broken with five star clarisse and sheena 🤮

[@themrrightleft417]

In my case, I think the only common pitybreaker I had fas F! F! Corrin. Got one from her banner, then obtained 5 random copies. Then she was changed to the modified 4 star pool, got 2 more. Then the forma came and said "F it". Then the arena changes came at the same time as the refine. So I finally +10 her.

[@blankblank6214]

Altaina is the only one that pitty broke me in the 3-5 star range

[@llukelcs]

Niime gave her stuff to my Arena bonus Reinhardt and he kept me in tier 21 a couple of weeks ago haha You could do a list of the worst 4* Special one could get by the Arena tickets! The Red pool is stacked in this category haha Luke, Siegbert, everyone is there.

[@mateobonavento3939]

Red is too dangerous. I always avoid it like the plague, until the time I got a full red circle and I couldn't escape. My pull was arguably the most useless from the whole 4 star special pool: Karel. He was even -atk.

[@llukelcs]

@@mateobonavento3939 Karel is so bad. Red is really dangerous. I always go for colorless, otherwise blue. Got a +2 og Claude this way. None of them was +atk of +spd, but that's alright. On the other hand, I got a lot of Leannes and Mists too, which wasn't that great.. haha

[@tanachisan]

I got myrrh today with -attack from arena ticket and i was so annoyed my cutie is useless until in fix it somehow but when i get full 100 trait fruits i wanted to give it to someone else

[@llukelcs]

@@tanachisan i got a +spd IV Myrrh from the tickets too, which wasn't useful. I really don't recommend using your precious trait fruits on her, it's such a rare item!

[@tanachisan]

@@llukelcs I didn't even think to use it on her but im anyway annoyed that most of the time i just get -atk stat units its so dumb

[@blackday1013]

I think Merric was my first 5 star unit day 1, and he was actually really useful at the time because he had a higher defense. Back then, Takumi was everywhere, and Merric was my counter.

[@shannonjones8877]

Exactly. I recall Merric being very useful also. High def mages were always so underrated.

[@zdelrod829]

Pity broken at 5.25% by the ever-power crept, Obsidian Duessel. It was on the recent Flame Emperor Edelgard banner. What makes it worse is that Duessel also broke my pity for the Fodlan Star Byleth rerun.

[@rosaminawa]

The amount of times I’ve been pity broken by Jafar and Olwen. It was hell back then. Almost got them both to plus 7. It was a very….. fun time

[@prowertastic8136]

I got pity broken by Leif so many times despite never trying to get him the best example I can think is the PA Hoshido banner I was trying to get Micaiah but instead I got two Leif, Karel, Male Morgan, and Grey so I tried to get her again the next year to see Leif again

[@risersin7957]

I am the owner. -sigh- I am the proud owner. -sigh- I am the sad owner. Ok. Better. Okay here it is. Let me just, -sigh- I own a +2 Jakob. I got them as 5 star pity breakers. Alright that brought catharsis.

[@hellnestor172]

We need one of these but for legendary banner's

[@koganeitou]

I'm surprised I never got a 5☆ Thea on Iðunn/Sue's banner. I summoned a ton on that banner back then and bought the $80 pack and spent them all on it. I got an Idunn with +HP/-Spd, and a Sue, possibly a Lugh. My Iðunn is like almost +10 now and my Sue is like +3?

[@yukiyuhi1993]

I’ll never forget getting pity broken by Maria on a seasonal banner. I wanted to cry.

[@vivianfoxthief]

I saw Sharena, clicked, saw the title and was a bit sad, but at least Sharena is here

[@aroperdope]

@@aroperdope I mean Alfonse gets some love in form of cut scenes and in from of lif, while Sharena he's been watered down to a joke character or side character.

[@defierofdeath2463]

Arthur from the Green Colour is another good choice for terrible pity breakers. He doesn't really provide anything at all.

I don’t ever see bad pity breaks just another merge to flex. I’m a proud owner of 4 +10 Lachesis’s

[@luislara9952]

F For 5* Mordy, tho I would say he was kinda useful at that time for his weapon giving some stats

[@kuvjason7236]

Oh god! I remember getting pity broken by Mathilda when she color shared with Delthea LMAO!!!!

[@bobbyasaka]

It was weird seeing how much people hated getting pity-broken by Luke. He's a character I like a fair bit and it felt ironic in a kind of sad way how unpopular he was, especially when a big part of his character is about how he wants to be appreciated for who he is rather than being a replacement for someone else.

[@vitotheenigmatic3384]

That feeling when you get pity broken by Ewan or Hubert (Altena doesn't exist.)

[@ShadBad88]

God I do not miss the days where Merric broke my pity rate, he’s a +1 unit I did not ask for

[@FafnirVestra]

I remember back then getting breaked by a Merric at a very high rate, demolished to base rates and I raged about it so hard Also I just made a Luke +10 so atleast he is decent (he isnt but I like him)

[@mlangford9326]

I have a +6 Eyvel, and now that she had her refine, Im no longer as mad about it; might as well +10 her I guess 😂

[@burnmydxead]

i have summoned gregor 4 seperate times. i have not tried going for him once i dont know where he keeps coming from and hes like my least favourite awakening character.

[@PikangsFutaba]

Yeah, the initial days of Heroes, pretty much the healers were considered the worst pity breakers (however the irony for me is that the Sakura I got as a pity breaker was the unit that helped me to stop being stuck in those days in the story and I still consisntelty use her... even if she doesn't offer that much nowdays as I have her mostly for healing here and there or some cheap damage with poison type skills or pain attack... but I'm pretty much outdated in the meta and such as I had to stop play the game due to mobile hour time issues that makes it a pain to handle my current mobile).

[@Rikudo44]

I remember hating whenever Sanaki pity broke me since Lilina is my favorite fe character and they serve similar functions making a +1 or +2 Sanaki useless compared to my +10 Lilina. "Wow, this is worthless" describes my reaction every time I got her. Luckily, it wasn't more then 3 times.

[@BrassNolan]

13:20 lol I was about to say, I love using Menace skills. I’ll easily fodder those skills to those high res units I want to give a good C skill to. Good ending btw. But with my luck, I’ll end up unintentionally +10 Fallen Edelgard with my colorless pulls.

Honestly the unit i would say was worst to get in the beginning for red would be Ogma. Spur Attack and Defiant Attack were never useful especially when Drives and Brazens came out within a year. Plus I just really dont like his art which makes it even worse to jave pulled him.
