  • In today's episode we're taking a look at a series staple: the red and green Christmas cavaliers Cain and Abel! After being Marth's right hand men in the original FE1 and Shadow Dragon, they've become their own character archetype with just about all of the games in the series featuring a pair of red and green cavaliers paying homage to them. This archetype includes Cain and Abel, Lukas and Forsyth, Boey and Mae, Luke and Roderick, Noish and Alec, Kain and Alva, Allen and Lance, Kent and Sain, Forde and Kyle, Kieran and Oscar, Sully and Stahl, and even Saizo and Kaze. What's the deal with them? Why two? What's the difference? Which is better? Let's take a look!

      @Kairnestar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tony Power But why would someone even? Amelia isn't a native Cav, for one (and you get a lot in SS so not making her a Knight -> General is a bit of a waste (unless you Super Recruit). She doesn't have the class dynamics of the archetype, nor the character dynamics with Franz the same way. Square character, round archetype

    I would have to say my favorite Cain and Abel is mae and boey. Although subtle, they gave more personality to the characters, not just archetypes, but just more different type of Cain and Abel with different focuses. I mean the echoes version of course.

    • @lucky_crit
      @lucky_crit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      They're also really easy to keep track of, Boey being slow and tanky, while Mae is fast, strong, and frail. Glass cannon like. The other's we'll have to study to remember..

    Ah, the Christmas Knights. Among my favourite of the archetypes, they're usually among the most reliable characters you get. I guess I favour the green ones, seeing as Sain, Oscar and Kaze are my favourite characters from this archetype. Sain is hilarious and a great unit on the battlefield esp. if you do use Lyn mode to make him stronger, Oscar is one of the most reliable characters in an FE game I've ever had (which fits with his personality), and Kaze's ninja skills were quite useful as a support unit in Fates.

    • @lucky_crit
      @lucky_crit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The greens are usually a bit more zany personality-wise, which I think tends to have them be remembered a bit more, for sure!

    • @DSaC_
      @DSaC_ 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The only Christmas Cav Duo i'd say are unreliable are Alec/Noish and Kyle/Forde. Both have their uses, but are really underwhelming compared to the likes of Kent/Sain and Cain/Abel.

      no, it definitely couldn't. have you seen poison damage in the elibe duology? it sucks ass. 1 damage per turn on a unit with 30 base HP and an 80% growth is nothing. hell, in heroes, dorcas even says "well, i had some bad mutton earlier, but i feel fine otherwise."

  • @powarman9357

    How about Kieran and Oscar? It's pretty stated by IS that they're those red/green rivals in Radiant Dawn (more than Path or Radiance) because they even get a base conversation confirming this.

    • @lucky_crit

    I hope you cover the Maria archetype: The second healer you recruit. Usually a troubadour nowadays. Usually has to be rescued. (ie: Maria, Yumina/Yuliya, Lachesis, Nanna, Clarine, Priscilla, L'Arachel, Mist, Maribelle, maybe Tatianna?)

  • @gaiuswoltislovewoltislife6661
    @gaiuswoltislovewoltislife6661 6 ปีที่แล้ว +62

    I get confused with the Cains and Abels constantly, because I prefer the speedier ones like Lance, Alec, Kent, Kaze etc, but most of them are green, so Abels, but have Cain attributes. So do I prefer the Cains now or the Abels?

    • @lucky_crit
      @lucky_crit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I made some notes after the fact to nail down the percentages of who has what, and if we consider Boey to be red (aka, the skills that are usually red even though he's green) and the other flip flops the correct colors, then Green has 10/13 Speed, 7/13 Skill, 8/13 Luck, and 5/13 Res while Red has 12/13 HP, 8/13 Strength (this one blew me away as it seemed the reds usually skipped Strength in the games I was most familiar with) 10/13 Defense, 5/13 Skill, etc etc. So a little different than perhaps I originally stated, but it tends to follow that formula a lot.

    • @gaiuswoltislovewoltislife6661
      @gaiuswoltislovewoltislife6661 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @MrPherae 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Best Cain and Abel archtypes for me would definitely have to be, Lukas
    Stahl
    Sain and lastly Cain himself.
    Lukas is an undercover hot head who actually loves a good fight and he expresses it so calmly that it's hilarious because he's someone you just don't expect it from lol. Stahl is such an average Joe and is a big foodie, you can't but help not love the guy for his quirks. Sain, is just inSAIN. His supports are comical and my favorite moment was the Serra A support. There's just something funny about how he handles rejection. And Cain. You can tell he's really loyal to marth and for some reason, I just love that about him. Shadow Dragon didn't really give us an insight as to what he was like very much. But in its sequel, that's where we get a deeper insight to what he's like
    And he's also one of my favorite units to use in both the games he's in, and in heroes as well.
    Sorry for the mini essay. I couldn't decide on one character. They're all just so great in their own ways

    @topazlight1586 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I've noticed a lot of times that the Christmas Retainers are often balanced well enough with each other that I rarely end up seeing one as clearly better barring instances of clear RNG shenanigans at play.
    Usually, one is better at offense, but more fragile, while the other is tankier, but maybe not as strong offensively due to lower speed and thus more difficulty reliably double-attacking. I find that both often have their place!

    • @lucky_crit
      @lucky_crit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Gene Bratton Exactly! I think in some cases some of them start off with higher weapon ranks and access to javelins and stuff which can make or break things on higher difficulties, but for the most part they compliment each other nicely and don't really outclassed one another.

    • @voltron77
      @voltron77 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Kieran is better than Oscar.

  • @clairebit
    @clairebit 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I also like the parallels in their personalities. The reds are a bit more energetic and wild (Luke, Mae, Sully) (Lukas and Kent the exception here, as Forsyth and Sain fit this better), and the greens are more calm and levelheaded (Abel, Oscar, Stahl in particular).

  • @ElNeekoo
    @ElNeekoo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks for the awesome Christmas video!
    I think I prefer the red units more- I feel like I get a more reliable HP unit and that their hits usually hit, even if they’re not as strong sometimes. Kent and Sain will always be my first 😆

  • @StarForceKid194
    @StarForceKid194 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Green, just cause it my favorite color. But I did use both. Kaze being my favorite out of the Fates series, he got swagger. And Sully is a badass who I prefer over stahl. Still I love this archetype either way.

  • @At0m1cpickle
    @At0m1cpickle 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think one thing somewhat worth noting is how there are commonly flipflops personality wise amongst the cavalier colors. Particularly, usually one of the cavs is hotheaded and zealous (Cain, Kieran, Luke, and Forsyth, to give two examples in each color) while the other is more levelheaded and composed (examples being the opposites of the prior mentioned characters). It's not a huge deal, just a noticeable inconsistency I've seen amongst the christmas cavs. It's definitely a trend in terms of the archetype as a whole, just with variation amongst whose who.

  • @mochi3989
    @mochi3989 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It would’ve been nice if you talked more about the character dynamics. Forsyth and Lukas fulfill the same class and green/red color scheme requirement, but Python and Forsyth better suit the banter between the archetypes.

    • @lucky_crit
      @lucky_crit  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +mochi Very true. I could definitely have spent more time on each as there was certainly a lot to discuss, but I didn't want the video to be too long and we had a lot to get through :/

  • @Rengor1997
    @Rengor1997 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @pf9878
    @pf9878 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I honestly like the green ones more, as I've noticed a lot of the red ones have higher luck growths, which honestly, while it can be important, is nowhere near as influential as Str, Spd, Def, or even Res or Skill.

  • @penguinemperor2077
    @penguinemperor2077 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video yet again! I tend to favor the Red cav, but then I really play for tankier options and even a 5% advantage in def growth is appealing to me. In a world where everyone seems to value speed above all else, I say the counter to speed is def/res. I could go on more about this, but I don't feel like writing that much right now....

  • @davidhill8565

    Great video as always, as a long time Fire Emblem fan, I always appreciate the high quality content that you provide us.
    As for myself, I always preferred the red knight over the green knight but I always kind of ended up using both due to their early game availability and my personal bias towards the two knights. The best christmas cavs in my opinion will have to go to Forde and Kyle because I really think they represent the "laid back/serious" personalities very nicely as well as each of them having tremendous amounts of respect for each other and their craft outside of their swordplay. No forreals, it's in the Forde/Kyle support where we see the passion Forde has for traditional arts, and why he's so attached to it.
    The only other 'christmas cav' that i enjoyed was Kaze/Saizo for their uniqueness, and while Kaze hits the enemies with paper shurikens later down in the game Kaze was still a bro and Saizo was the forerunner for me in my Revelation playthrough.

      Wow that's incredibly generous of you! I guess it would be interesting to see all of the "official archetype" pages! That sounds like a lot of work.. so no worries if you can't. But if you were interested in scanning it I will of course credit you! It's difficult to track comment threads so join the Discord link in the description and give me a shout if you are indeed interested! Regardless, happy holidays!

    • @yueyingli2699
      @yueyingli2699 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      oh, thanks for the response!
      i went looking for the pages you mentioned and didn't find it.... the majority of the pages is dedicated to archanea (including timeline of the game events, full character artwork with biographies, full JP script excluding base conversations, CG artworks, character and item list)
      there is a secton at the end of the book dedicated to the entire series, and i found pages that compares each game with each other. there's a neat chart that tells whether or not games have certain mechanics (class change, overworld map, triangle attack...).
      said page does touch on archetypes, such as triangle attackers and jagen (it even mentioned how seth and titania have higher growth rates than most jagens), but i found nothing about the cain/abel archetype. i'll keep looking but there's no guarantees i'll find it! i'm using machine translation so the process is slow.
      i'll join the discord, just mention me if you might need anything from me!

    -Purple haired mages (gba) (at least one)
    -Long-haired myrmidons (exception is Lon'qu)
    -Badass Wyvern Lady (why tf are they always girls?!)
    -Rude Troubadour (UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW THEM) (OR IF THEYRE ELISE) (OR PRISCILLA)
    -Abnormal hair colors on Dancers (why can they just have un-dyed hair?) (Shut up Lalum)
    -A SECOND LORD (that tends to be better than the original) (heck the only exception i say exists is fe 7 cuz Lyn is my favorite)
    -A meaningful bad guy
    -A not-so meaningful bad guy
    AND MANY MOOOOOORE

  • @carlosaugusto9821
    @carlosaugusto9821 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Maybe you could have observed that the Halvan and Othin duo of fighters of FE5's initial team, though diverging from the archetype class wise, are there to fill those two slots in a similar way. It's an experiment on the same idea overall.
    And that the "Saga" games still follow the archetype.

    Nice video. I suppose my favorites are Kent and Sain, Kieran, Forde and Kyle, and Kaze and Saizo, and Mae. I never really bothered much with the rest.
    And on the subject of archetypes and Kieran. Could L'Rachel be considered an eccentric hammy archetype setter that Kieran, Owain, and Opheia proudly and flamboyantly followed?

    • @Kairnestar
      @Kairnestar 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      JJO902 she's likely more the Maria archetype (midish-game unpromoted healer, in later games usually a Troubadour, often needs to be rescued, often of noble blood, and tend to be better healers than your earlier game ones. Priscilla and Maribelle also count). Fates doesn't have one, really, though Forrest is an arguable example given Leo is a mid-late game unit (and taking longer to S Rank and have his son), and Forrest fits the class, needing rescue, nobility, and design aesthetics.

  • @muman717
    @muman717 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think for Fates that Rinkah and Kaze are the Cain/Able archetypes because they're available on every path and still fit the same personality tropes as Saizo and Kaze, though I guess they don't really have the history together (like you mentioned) that Saizo/Kaze do

    Speaking of Fates, Silas and Peri fit the archetype in Conquest pretty well, and they're even both cavaliers. It just isn't obvious at first because it isn't their armor or hair that's red and green, it's their eyes!
    Kinda funny how Fates gives you both Abels no matter what path you take, but only one Cain unless you play Revelations.

  • @Kairnestar
    @Kairnestar 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh, putting in a request for the Est archetype. It'd be interesting, especially as some latet games like Awakening and Fates have kinda kicked the trend a bit, insofar as having units really considered "late game", since child units are theoretically accessible right after the chapter their parents joined, and scale level (and Offspring Seal) to be relatively on par with the game's current challenge level. Some would call Donnel and Mozu examples, but with the subversion of being Paralogue units (and I think the only notable units that you get ih a Paralogue in those games other than child units , which are their own mechanic, and oh yeah Tiki. Can't remember if the spotpass six are Paralogues, but most people ignore them anyway, so). Or is perhaps Donnel a new archetype forming (possibly a spiritual successor to the trainees in SS)? I'd love to see a video that discusses that. Especially since, like most Ests, Donnel and Mozu are characters that break the base a lot in argument of how good they are or aren't, depending on what you prioritise

Bowser would be a General with either a dracoshield from fire emblem echoes, or an Axe weapon that resembles the lightning sword from the same game, but with fire instead of thunder.
