I love these kinds of vids so much. I'm always so bad at choosing espers and vc's at least when they're not so obvious to a clueless dude like me, that i always end up using them on the wrong units or just using them incorrectly so they always end up niche for me but these at least always help that little bit more so i'm informed about better options and what works well in what situations
This is a great video Jay!! Been playing FFBE since launch and you are still producing videos to teach this old dog some new tricks! Thank you so much! Keep them coming!
These have definitely been really great videos and not only good to know which Espers are best for the role, but also really helpful for new players to know which ones are best to use on their Phys DPS units for this specific case. Really appreciate the video!
Again loving this series. Waiting for next week's magic or evasion. I think we all fall prey to finding one we like for our core units and then never relooking even though newer espers come out. This helps a lot to see how other people see them as well as a "by the numbers" look into them. Thanks and keep up the great content
veeeeery educational and useful!!! thank you so much for your dedication, I think this kind of approach helps a lot to get a good idea about the best way to make some espers work
Awesome video and series. Really helped put it in perspective. With so many options, I’ve struggled with what espers to resonate after finishing the « core » ones (such as Odin). I’ve definitely been sleeping on a few such as Glacial.
Good job Bro I agree with your videos unlike Diggs trash advice. You definitely give the best advice out of the wotv youtubers. You should take Justin spot maybe more people will play the game lol
It took me forever to understand the value of the stats on espers and so I just started leveling espers on element with matching damage types with my main units. Now my esper line up looks a lot better but this aspect, equipment, and Trust stones are the main areas I'm needing serious buffs to. And even though Titan was literally the first esper I had I never realized how good he could be until just a little while ago lol
Super good tier list. Very tough to do with nearly every esper having niche use but I think you captured it well by mentioning the rating for specific units, particularly on element. That being said the only one I think you are off on is Marilith. It’s every bit as good as Brachiosaurus and even better when facing evasion. That amount of accuracy is amazing for any missile unit. I think it’s definitely at least top of B and frankly might be in A tier.
malboro is very niche indeed, one of the best esper for tifa with wind atk, strike atk and mag res. Just weird that there is no much others wind strike unit
These kinds of videos are amazing! Yould you be willing to further break down these physical and magical DPS esper lists into attack types? It would be amazing to know which espers are better for missile units regardless of the element or something like that!
I also gotta wonder about lightning kitty's lightning up and missile up vs chocobo's flat dual missile up for my Frederika. i dont know how to calculate that
hey came from your echos of mana video and i was wondering if you have a beginners guide video or something along thosse line because ive been thinking about trying this game out
My Siren must have resonance with almost all my units... I've never used her for pierce attack though. Just slash res, skill activation and even fire killer, for the Monts. I've even restatted her with water resistance at some point.
Maybe one of these days we'll see a UR Esper that focuses on Strike attacks, hell a VC too, 2 years into the game and still has barely any support for one an attack types thats been in since launch.
Its interesting how you organize them based off their board but don't really need to compare the total percent of each node path. Fenrir I probably would have put S tier simply due to so many units in this game being slash attack type. Marlith is weird. Pretty sure her evocation is a multi hit slash attack.
MA-X maniple has a second build that should move him up to A tier as a Generic ice Esper with no pierce attack up. 25 ice > 15 pierce, BIS for Barret and great for all of the ice slashers and 142 attack is top tier. There are more ice attackers then pierce attackers and 20 slash res is also generically strong pick even if its not an attack stat.
Chocobo is beautiful. EVERY Missile unit on my account has max choco resonance. Anyone who thinks Chocobo is not an a-tier esper has just never used chocobo. One of the best missile espers around.
What went wrong with Aigaion: Thunder Nodes. He was to be an AMAZING generic SPELLBLADE esper, but Gumi decided to target him at... NO ONE, Lightning Spellblade does not exist YET. Also, for future references, consider using the Builder Section of wotv-calc. I know that clicking all the nodes is sexier, but the builder section is easier to show real builds as it consume SP.
@@BIaireau definetly, I used him with Fryevia and Rain for a long time, but sadly his 3* did not keep up, if he got the Fenrir treatment, oh boy, what amazing esper potential.
I have yet to understand why Aigaion isn't a Striking UR esper. In the original FFBE, beating him rendered fist weapons. The esper uses giant mechanical fists. But yet... we get magic and slashing nodes. Huh? Gumi! My Tifa wants a UR Striking Esper!
@@AuronnjJayy I feel that's why units like Winter Vinera, Rhaldor and Tifa aren't run as their main job or at all. They have good potential but low support.
Siren is best in slot for red mages like miranda and sylma and murmur because of the casting reducing and piercing for chaining resistance break. Considering pve only for me at least and some may consider it sloting it on a dragoon with jumps their only atck.. espers are more use full for their element and type killers and typed atck up. it is direct dmg increase for pve use. Dont underestimate killers, they are more powerfull than mag % or atck %. PvP? dont ask me i dont know or care
☠️I think my comment got deleted. Maximilian Arlt. You still there? Just wanted to state this again. Great video and tier list. I watched the whole vid.

No problem! Thanks for watching :D
I like long videos once in a while, so thank you :-)
This is that 1st Tier list Video i have watch where i agree 100% with everything you said i like this video alot nice job man
Woah high praise :D Thanks Saif
This is a great video Jay!! Been playing FFBE since launch and you are still producing videos to teach this old dog some new tricks! Thank you so much! Keep them coming!
We have a new guy in our guild who just joined the game, he has been religiously watching your vids. Stuff like this helps a massive amount.
These have definitely been really great videos and not only good to know which Espers are best for the role, but also really helpful for new players to know which ones are best to use on their Phys DPS units for this specific case. Really appreciate the video!
Nice to see chocobo getting some love. Solid long distance esper with a heal. Makes your unit semi support.
Super undervalued by so many people

I enjoy long videos typically and this one was a good one. Appreciate your efforts sir!
veeeeery educational and useful!!! thank you so much for your dedication, I think this kind of approach helps a lot to get a good idea about the best way to make some espers work
A tier for the deer, every so often i come look this up for a refresher on certain espers and man that line always sticks with me.
That Rim Elm background music is so relaxing XD
I love it!

Love this video. I’ve been thinking of how I can best set aside some generic espers. This helped frame those thoughts.

I agree with you on Chocobo, he's generally my go to range esper, and that heal has saved me arse plenty
This is some really good info to have! Thank you very much! ^__^

Esther likes it
Hope to see the Magic Esper Tier video soon :)
Very helpful video! Can't wait for the magic attacker one...that's next? :)
Took me a couple of days, but great vid!
I also gotta wonder about lightning kitty's lightning up and missile up vs chocobo's flat dual missile up for my Frederika. i dont know how to calculate that
hey came from your echos of mana video and i was wondering if you have a beginners guide video or something along thosse line because ive been thinking about trying this game out
YOU'RE a hero! :P
Put that Double-Headed D to A-tier or we riot! Haha🤙🏼 Crit Dmg is awesome!
I’m ok with 12 agi, just use it on someone naturally high agi
Its only that AGI holding him back, otherwise a total banger of an esper
Two Headed Dragon is so slow because he's got both of those heads creating wind resistance XD
i guess war machine is more of a tanking esper, but i'd definitely give it a huge recommendation.
Yeah I considered it but it was pretty firmly in my tanking tier list so I kept it there.
My Siren must have resonance with almost all my units... I've never used her for pierce attack though. Just slash res, skill activation and even fire killer, for the Monts. I've even restatted her with water resistance at some point.

Marlith is weird. Pretty sure her evocation is a multi hit slash attack.
Do we get account reviews for level 5 hype trains? Asking for Iron Rakkasan
LOL if someone comes on stream and gets a level 5 hype train going I will do an account review for them live right there!
@@AuronnjJayy dang I should have taken advantage the last three times then
Siren is awesome, even though weird. I agree with your list though.
MA-X maniple has a second build that should move him up to A tier as a Generic ice Esper with no pierce attack up. 25 ice > 15 pierce, BIS for Barret and great for all of the ice slashers and 142 attack is top tier. There are more ice attackers then pierce attackers and 20 slash res is also generically strong pick even if its not an attack stat.
Siren would really shine if they release magic based water pierce unit. still niche though
Yeah I was trying to think to myself "is there one" right in the middle of talking about her. NOPE there isnt lol
Chocobo is beautiful. EVERY Missile unit on my account has max choco resonance. Anyone who thinks Chocobo is not an a-tier esper has just never used chocobo. One of the best missile espers around.
Not to mention that he is best boy
As the founder of the Churche of Aileen Auronnj is kinda Bias Elafikeras and the other Espers with Pierce Atk up. XD
What went wrong with Aigaion: Thunder Nodes. He was to be an AMAZING generic SPELLBLADE esper, but Gumi decided to target him at... NO ONE, Lightning Spellblade does not exist YET.

i like using agaion on any slash magic tho. with mag res nodes too
@@BIaireau definetly, I used him with Fryevia and Rain for a long time, but sadly his 3* did not keep up, if he got the Fenrir treatment, oh boy, what amazing esper potential.

Lets gooooooo
I agree
I also agree
I concur
I have both odin, but still more prefer first odin or fenrir for any slash unit.. anytime i use dark odin ill just turn off his evoke skill.
Nice list but you should rename it to PVP Esper DPS Tier list since this list does not hold up quite the same on PVE
I wish they had an actual UR strike esper :(
It really needs to happen!
@@AuronnjJayy I feel that's why units like Winter Vinera, Rhaldor and Tifa aren't run as their main job or at all. They have good potential but low support.
Next is magic 😏
Siren is best in slot for red mages like miranda and sylma and murmur because of the casting reducing and piercing for chaining resistance break. Considering pve only for me at least and some may consider it sloting it on a dragoon with jumps their only atck.. espers are more use full for their element and type killers and typed atck up. it is direct dmg increase for pve use. Dont underestimate killers, they are more powerfull than mag % or atck %. PvP? dont ask me i dont know or care
☠️I think my comment got deleted. Maximilian Arlt. You still there?
Just wanted to state this again. Great video and tier list. I watched the whole vid.
Again with Yellow Dragon, just agi, its al least A-
Omega must be a high A, cause can be an S just if get more agi
2 headed dragon is awesome too, except for that garbage agility.
this game has no LOVE for strike units
Marilith should be in niche tier.
