    I like a compromise between hard and soft ironman I call the "Look out, sir!" rule. If you get a game over, you can start the map over, but select one of your units that was deployed at random. Have that unit die at the earliest convenience (along with any other units that died on your failed chapter), the logic being that that unit sacrificed themselves to "protect" whatever lord or plot critical NPC died. Lets you keep an ironman run you're enjoying going without being able to cheese a map through game over resets.

    Here's my top 5 tips having played this game from a young age!
    Tip 1: Use Rebecca
    Tip 2: Marcus is useless, he's not made of iron, so he's not worth using
    Tip 3: Eliwood is the most busted unit in the game, feed him every kill, every single kill; I don't care if he's level 20, f e e d
    Tip 4: Just have fun! The only way to have fun is to use Rebecca

  • @Stachelbeeerchen

    The best ironman strategy is:
    -Check for cavalry effective weapon
    -If not there: send Marcus into every enemies range.
    -Give all statboosters to him or a later busted unit like Harken or Vaida
    -Let Athos solo the last chapter.

    Lost my first fe7 ironman by getting eliwood impaled by a pegasus Knight and have been pondering about doing it again and this is a nice tip over the edge to start another run.
    Though one of the gripes I have is how HHM deployment slots are so contested that I can't use all the units I want to use unless someone dies off.

    I feel like the sleep staff in 19xx warrants a mention. You don't have a method of restoring at that point, and you don't want to lose your momentum to an important unit taking a snooze.
    Also, while I don't recommend training them overall... If you do happen to be in possession of a cracked Wil or Rebbeca, they can do a lot of work on this map with the ballistae, potentially dealing, or at least assisting in dealing with the thieves, the other ballistae, and also the previously mentioned sleep staff.

  • @TrueYankeeFan
    @TrueYankeeFan 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great timing on this upload: I just started an FE7 HHM playthrough that I was on the fence about calling an Ironman run. I already got a Game Over by getting Hector killed, but didn't want to call it GG, so it's good to know the difference between soft and hard Ironmans.

    Just wanted to mention that with regards to chapter 15 and Sealen that the placement for Marcus does work. On proceeding turn however, often he utilises his longbow, meaning that a nomad occupies the closet slot in the alcove. But by that point, Marcus has defeated the armour knights blocking the path and can normally just walk up and knock the fool on the head.
    Also, in chapter 20, if you have an untrained Lord or need to take some portions of the map a little more slowly, but still want to complete the secondary objectives of recruiting Legault and obtaining the member card, you can rush 3 trained units possessing healing items relatively safely to the north west of the map and block 3 vertical tiles of that corridor. If you do this, Legault will stop moving, and the remaining thieves will instead filter down towards chests 2 and 3 instead of escaping.

    • @Mekkkah
      @Mekkkah  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yeah if Marcus does that turn 1 then Sealen should be low on HP. i think in my negative growths run i finished him off with Erk from there.

  • @mythrilturtle
    @mythrilturtle 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is a good level of detail for the map objectives and I think this will help a lot of players new to the iron man challenge.
    This may be out of scope, but potentially including a long-game checklist for hard iron man roadblock chapters like the Pent and Zephiel rescue maps could be useful to players. Granted what is available in an iron man is variable, but things like training staff users, fliers, etc. for specific purposes takes place over multiple maps and discussing these strategies outside the map-to-map discussion may be helpful. But this type of thinking may be more relevant to randomizer iron mans where you can't rely on getting specific unit types, weapons, etc. at specific points.
    Again, great video, and I'm looking forward to part 2!

    Over the past couple weeks I've been binge watching a ton of your GBA content from over the years thanks to FE7 coming to NSO. I originally casually played through it, 6 and 8 some years back but am now totally addicted. Recently cleared Normal mode and am quickly running through Hector Normal to unlock Hard mode and super excited to just play through it and try to make stuff more optimal and that.
    Just wanted to say thank you for content like this and all the other stuff you've been creating over time, especially the GBA FEs, they're definitely my favourite!

  • @therealstaples1160
    @therealstaples1160 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I liked the video a lot. I wish there was a guide like this when I started doing iron mans. With that said I think that people who play hard mode are more likely to already know this kind of thing. I think most people who will need these guides are more likely to play on normal mode. Playing strategy games like fire emblem is a skill, and it’s hard to not see strategies once you do. I think incorporating more gameplay screenshots to show the practice rather than just the theory. Again I liked the content it was helpful to see things differently than I normally do.

  • @bladerdj3503
    @bladerdj3503 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love the idea of this!
    Personally I'd do recommend trying out Path of Radiance with Permadeath on your first run. They're pretty simple with not much inside knowledge needed and it was a cool feeling to have this unique experience with the tense feeling of possible losses - I don't know about other FEs but generally the older games due to being simpler are easier to learn on the run compared to the modern titles imo. Overall it is better to learn the games first before trying an Ironman and I would always recommend starting out with a game you like and know about.
    And if you really want a challenge try out Vision Quest blind ironman :3

    Honestly most of this video points are really good even in non ironman run, especially how to get some villages/chests before enemies get them. That can be excruciatingly painful when not playing ironman and having to restart the whole chapter because you couldn't get the promo item or useful rare weapon in time.

      Using Ninis's Grace / Filla's Might on a unit prevents them from being targeted by status while their buff status is active, so you can put Restore with one half and Ninian with the other
      Unarmed units (without any usable weapons or staves in their inventory) won't be targeted by any status. So you can have one unit hold the others' weapons and vice versa, then move into enemy range and trade weapons to attack

    I have been absolutely floundering some HHM iron man runs, that haven't made it past chapter 17. It's mostly because I made a point of not using Marcus much, but I regret that choice.
    Also, Lyn. This game hates her. Chapter 16, the noble lady of Caelyn is a run ender. And many times there was not much I could have done about it. Lyn is 1-2 shot by most enemies and her crew is rushed early on. Some bad rolls and it's over. One attempt I missed to 80% attack on the pegasi, so Will an sain had no chance.

    here is a guide that people just don't tell you or play like.... and i don't know why its pretty fucking basic
    Click on the enemy
    Yup..
    If that seems dumb... Why aren't there people who play like that in a wlakthrough
    also
    if the different in AS between to units is greater than 4 , they will double
    Attack is total attack as in Str+Mt... Def is just a straight attack-def thing.
    Triangle advantage is +1 attack and +10 avoid. Which as you know is important because of meme (90-1 , who will win. Oh look its the enemy with a critical)
    forests eat movement
    most units cannot attack diagonal unless they have more than 1 range cause... I think the game calculates it as front then side
