The Ninja Saizo vid would beg to differ. Not mad at him, he was focusing on his studies which are obviously more important than FEH, but it did take a while so maybe not the fastest...
@haroohusky did, but his video was not as well put together and did not take the time to break apart the different tiers for different reasons. PM1 went indepth, Zeshado did not go as in depth. That said, Zeshado is great and needs to not worry about competing with how fast PM1 is and focus on being thorough.
This has to be one of the best timings since we just got Resplendent Brave Veronica not long ago and now we got an arcane weapon that works great for her. Seeing her being one of the best users for Arcane Charmer just made my day, so thank you for the upload pm1.
I said this before but essentially this is IS saying we're not giving 3-4 stars refines but here's an arcane staff instead. The only one I have to give it too is Veronica. Cornelia, Loki, and Czmilla don't need it apparently.
I mean Cornelia did outshine Young Lucius like a week after he was introduced, and B!Camilla is a CYL3 winner who is still relevant to use because of her refine. Though Loki I'm not sure about since I barely use her much and the only times I do is for AR seasons from time to time.
> this is IS saying we're not giving 3-4 stars refines but here's an arcane staff instead. I'm actually not opposed to this. If they want to keep pushing new skills or refines, they can't do everyone one by one. There's no way they will ever keep up given rate of new releases vs rate of refine batches. Especially since they also have to give refines to 5\* units who still need it. Arcanes are a good middle ground of keeping all old gens up to date without spending too much time trying to balance all the prfless Gen1-7 Staff units.
@@DivineChaosLord"Up to date" is subjective here because they'll still be relying on a busted modern support effect to even do a semblance of their playstyle, let alone exist entirely. This bandaid weapon won't let the likes of Azama be magically "useable" outside of memes/favoritism, and even then there's simply limits to what fully investing on old, obsolete junk can do.
I'm just happy we finally got the arcane staff people have been wanting for so long, I really can't wait to give it to my Saul. Too bad it's not enough to help units who desperately need it like Azama for example.
It wasn’t until I +10 Summer duo Hilda that I finally fully enjoyed fully decking out a healer with expensive skills, I might want hortensia for that staff side grade tho I think attuned ivy is more important to me for her deadly miasma and attuned skill
I pulled Hortensia on pull 36 and then sparked for her, so both my Elise and my Forrest get a new glow up. The staff is not only powerful, but really fits them as well! Also I pulled 2 Ivys along the way, so good fodder on top. Quite happy with the banner!
Thanks for the video and build options! I'm really looking forward to getting this weapon for both my regular and Y!Lucius. I use them a ton, so I'm happy with this upgrade.
Thank u sm for this guide!! 🥺🥺 it hasnt even been a day since trailer dropped ty for being so quick too 💖 ur voice sounds a bit tired, please make sure to take care of yourself :D
I don't know about you, but I feel like you are underrating the armours a bit. And I may be saying this because V!Lissa is my absolute favourite unit in all of Fire Emblem, but being attacked and then basically guarenteeing what could be considered a Luna Strike while also potentially disabling foes ability to counter attack while protecting allies with a Far Save ability has been extremely useful to me thus far, especially in my armour emblem team where I have a bold fighter brave bow user who cannot take hits nearly well and a Near Save unit so I do not have to worry about melee units hurting them both. It also helps to have a consistant form of healing available to all units via Arcane Charmer's ability to heal allies after their combats or just a healing assist in general to help push my armours back into any fighter range they are in need of. I do only wish to use Canny Fighter on her because I wasn't ever lucky enough to summon Myrrh yet in her banner (though even if I did I would probably not fodder her off since I like Myrrh) but the damage output coming from Poetic Justice actually makes her easily murder on enemy phase at times when she gets to fire off Glitter of Light TWICE in the same combat (essentially a double Luna here while also supporting allies in preventing enemy counterattacks). Of course, as Mr. Pheonixmaster always says, it is always worth it to give it to the units you like first so I have no regrets with giving it to V!Lissa. All I need now is a good defensive A skill and I will be set (cause I would like more than a stat bonus from Fortress Def/Res 3, even if Staff units cannot hold stance skills. Hopefully we can get a Staff exclusive A that helps with overall survival in the near future...?)
So not surprise by OG Nanna's placement, but the aesthetic artist in me finds Arcane Charmer such a fitting name for someone like Nanna who is a very charismatic girl, so I must. lol I also forgot that I want ANOTHER copy for Lachesis, so now I have 4 units. Oh god. Well, OG Nanna and Lachesis will get first dibs since I like Twelve Staff on Scion Nanna aesthetically and Lena is lower priority. Thanks for the detail guide PM1!
Man, while I am happy for the Arcane Staff being finally released, it still makes my eyes roll how we didn't any demoted staff refines. It's as if they seem scared of making them broken (as if the game isn't broken with units like W!Edelgard, Duo!Sanaki, DuoW!Byleth, etc). I really like this staff, it's quite offensive and supportive and it can go on many staff units. I got a +10 Mercedes, Linhardt and Dwyer (soon) who would appreciate this staff. I kinda hope for gacha god to at least give me 2 staffs in this summoning. Thank you for the video!
Anything for Lucius, in my books. So glad this new staff is good on both of his versions. I'll prob give to base first, and then try to get another for baby.
I knew Pricilla wasn’t going to be a great match for this weapon, but I still really want to give one to her since I used her so much in the early days.
Saul being the top choice on infantry and calavalry types ia insane XD That said... My Scion Nanna and Valentines Silque will appreciate this Arcane Staff
I can't believe that I'm even considering this but I might have to wait to see if there will be a better arcane staff before slotting the current one into my Forrest. I want to because I have him at 10+ merges and I really need something killer on him, but if he's only tier two with this staff, it might be better to hold off for now.
Definetetly going with Ethlyn for my first copy, combined with her soireè version being rerun in the next HoF revival, it'll be nice to finally update the versions of one of my favourite characters that have unfortunately been collecting dust for a coupe years. Also kinda wanna grab an extra Hortensia as insurance for if Pandreo ends up as a crappy staff demote... really hope his good CYL placement will get him at least a demote prf ala Lex/Orochi/Seteth/etc. if not a premium slot, but i'm not counting on it.
Does the heal effect on the staff apply to the user as well? I've been using a maxed-out Serra with Close Counter to carry grinding runs through Tempest Trials, but she needs either her native Absorb+ staff or the Staff of Tribute+ I gave her to self-heal and avoid being chipped down. I want to give her this Arcane upgrade, but I'm trying to figure out how to get some regen on her without sacrificing Wrazzle Dazzle or her ability to counter melee attackers. There's always giving her SS Mystic Seal, but that thing is always getting shuffled around...
What sort of build would you recommend for bride Lyn? I am a big fan and collector of Lyns and have been waiting for an arcane staff to finally update her kit....but now that I look at it, her stats aren't really great for a speed or res build. So I am kind of puzzled on what to actually give her. Any Ideas?
If I wanted to give the arcane staff to Brady, what kind of stat boon(s) would he favor? My initial thought was speed but the staff has a guaranteed follow-up...
It’s insanely frustrating that most of the units I’d use hortensia for have dazzling staff 3, not wrathful. This is why they don’t give 3-4⭐️ healers prfs, the 50/50 chance you torture people who gave the wrong skill 😅
Don't forget we are still missing Beast Infantry and Beast Tanks, because unfortunately they also stand differently. But it's kinda sad how little of use Arcane weapons are. This is one is cool to actualyl build your Healer because there is not many options otherwise, but hm. Complicated.
Is it confirmed that Arcane Staff has either Dazzling or Wrathful refine? Or like any weapon, maybe the staff had stat boost now? Anyways, I'm looking forward to having Staff for my Nyna, but I don't have orbs because of Emblem Marth... I hope I can free summon. If not, I'll patiently wait for its comeback banner
Finally staffs get some crumbs to help them. I feel like they cpuld jave gone further with this - considering the amount of other skills that Staffs dont get access to that everyone else does (Smokes, Blows, etc). But very nice that my B!Veronica can get the refine shes wanted. No, shes not gotten a refine before, and tou cant change myind
IF you had a FREE Rearmed Hortensia, which ONE unit you'd give the Arcane Staff to?
New Year's Laevatein 🐀
Either Scion Nanna or W!Eirika, can't decide yet.
Nyna
Probably Genny or Elice
Either Halloween Mia or Lena
Pm1 proving once again that no matter how much speed a feh unit has it is ultimately HE who is truly the fastest unit in feh.
Powercreeping Exalted Chrom (the first cav chrom)
Zeshado actually uploaded a vid before his no?
The Ninja Saizo vid would beg to differ.

Our first arcane staff and it feels so good to have since I now have a reason to use Brave Veronica again. Thank you so much for the builds.

Definitely getting that staff for Baby Lucius. I'll hopefully get another one for the adult version too

Loki's weap is not that good only in AR or Summoners Duels
Yeah, I'm surprised Loki isn't on the list since her weapon is only good for like two game modes
> this is IS saying we're not giving 3-4 stars refines but here's an arcane staff instead.

My maxed out Serra will be enjoying the staff and the special. Helps that I actually like Hortensia so I'm inclined to pull for skill duping as well
I was honestly not expecting arcane staff yet, I'm sure you're very happy for Mercedes
Even when she's stuck at tier 3, maybe the next arcane staff will be better for her
@@claudeishere5806And there comes an even better demote that makes use of it better with minimal investment instead kekw.
I'm definitely giving this to my Linhardt. He will benefit a lot from the special cooldown and guaranteed follow-up from the weapon.
I'm just happy we finally got the arcane staff people have been wanting for so long, I really can't wait to give it to my Saul. Too bad it's not enough to help units who desperately need it like Azama for example.
That was fast! Thanks!
Thank you for the builds!!
It wasn’t until I +10 Summer duo Hilda that I finally fully enjoyed fully decking out a healer with expensive skills, I might want hortensia for that staff side grade tho I think attuned ivy is more important to me for her deadly miasma and attuned skill
Defo giving the staff to both vanilla Lissa and Valentine Lissa, gotta support your faves at the end of the day.
My +10 Summer L'arachel is eating although I would like to give it to Valentine's Silque as well
I'm sooo hype for this horay for healers🎉
I sure hope the special is also inheritable, cause I might have to only get the weapon for my favorite.
It should be since Hortensia's C skill is prf
I may finally build L'Arachel/Mercedes/Linhardt 🙏
For a first Arcane Staff, this isn't all that bad!
Maybe this is an incentive to finish my Lena...
And here I was hoping for a good weapon for Sakura...
The arcane stuff having stat buffs when refined was a pleasant surprise, seeing all 8 options for just 1 weapon was pretty crazy
Gotta love these new icons with weapon description, this is even clearer now!
I’ve got a full investment Natasha and that staff has her name on it omg
This stuff will be for my Lucius and Eremiya if possible 🙏🏻
I pulled Hortensia on pull 36 and then sparked for her, so both my Elise and my Forrest get a new glow up. The staff is not only powerful, but really fits them as well! Also I pulled 2 Ivys along the way, so good fodder on top. Quite happy with the banner!
I like the new description to the Arcane weapons.
Thanks for the video and build options! I'm really looking forward to getting this weapon for both my regular and Y!Lucius. I use them a ton, so I'm happy with this upgrade.
PM1: *goes into full details about the tier 1 infantry units*
Also PM1: "Here are the tier 1 cavalry units.... Now onto tier 2 we have..."
I don't care if Wrys is in tier 4, I'm giving him everything
gave this Staff to both my Forest and my Nanna, thank you so much for the builds
Thank u sm for this guide!! 🥺🥺 it hasnt even been a day since trailer dropped ty for being so quick too 💖 ur voice sounds a bit tired, please make sure to take care of yourself :D

Thanks for the detail guide PM1!
I didn't realize how high young Lucius's atk/res were until this past limited battles. Tempted to build up now with this weapon
Arcane staff is here! And it's up for grabs with how many healers without prfs there are because IS will never give them a proper refine.
I gave this to my +10 V!Lissa and she’s a monster.
Man, while I am happy for the Arcane Staff being finally released, it still makes my eyes roll how we didn't any demoted staff refines. It's as if they seem scared of making them broken (as if the game isn't broken with units like W!Edelgard, Duo!Sanaki, DuoW!Byleth, etc).

I got a +10 Mercedes, Linhardt and Dwyer (soon) who would appreciate this staff. I kinda hope for gacha god to at least give me 2 staffs in this summoning. Thank you for the video!
Looking forward to building Natasha and Scion Nanna once i finally pull some Hortensia
Anything for Lucius, in my books. So glad this new staff is good on both of his versions. I'll prob give to base first, and then try to get another for baby.
I knew Pricilla wasn’t going to be a great match for this weapon, but I still really want to give one to her since I used her so much in the early days.
I saw the new banner and was suddenly really happy I made Nyna a merge project on a whim
Saul being the top choice on infantry and calavalry types ia insane XD
That said... My Scion Nanna and Valentines Silque will appreciate this Arcane Staff

My summer rhys will be crying tears of joy
Welp, guess FeH really twisted my hand here. I love using Veronica, and now I need to get the arcane staff for her

I'm gonna try on Nyna and she has beautiful art too
I'm definitely giving Charmer to my brave Vero and scion Nanna :)
Gave it to both lissa and emmeryn, they might not be the best but I'm happy my fav' healers now have a decent weapon.
Don’t matter what tier Mercedes is in, I’m giving her that rearmed weapon the moment I get it. Let’s go!
Was really hoping this would give something worthwhile for staff armors, the most neglected of unit types.
maybe the next arcane staff maybe
How far out are we from a potential Summer Hilda refine?
Mid 2026 by the looks
@@Pheonixmaster1 Nooooo 😭 it feels like she came out so long ago, IS needs to do more than 1 seasonal refine per month
If I wanted to give the arcane staff to Brady, what kind of stat boon(s) would he favor? My initial thought was speed but the staff has a guaranteed follow-up...
Oh boy.. Gonna try getting Eremiya that staff
Still neat to see even if it's not useful to me. Since my main healer is brave camilla who i still prefer her own weapon over this one.
I gave it to Lissa because she was my first max invested healer 😊
Hortensia?! What the frick? 0:21
I finally decided to+10 Priscilla. Her speed is not very high so I guess ploy + still water is better then atk/spd catch + odd recobery?
It’s insanely frustrating that most of the units I’d use hortensia for have dazzling staff 3, not wrathful.
This is why they don’t give 3-4⭐️ healers prfs, the 50/50 chance you torture people who gave the wrong skill 😅
Thank you for the tierlist=3 I would give this weapon to Lucius. Smoll would receive the weapon first=) Also, Dwyer, love him too=3
Damn you were fast
Don't forget we are still missing Beast Infantry and Beast Tanks, because unfortunately they also stand differently. But it's kinda sad how little of use Arcane weapons are. This is one is cool to actualyl build your Healer because there is not many options otherwise, but hm. Complicated.
if i manage to pull her, i’ll give the staff to the (eventual) linhardt alt
How come you don't mention some of the mythic with outdated prf skills that you could just remove to use the weapon?
Is it confirmed that Arcane Staff has either Dazzling or Wrathful refine? Or like any weapon, maybe the staff had stat boost now?
Anyways, I'm looking forward to having Staff for my Nyna, but I don't have orbs because of Emblem Marth... I hope I can free summon. If not, I'll patiently wait for its comeback banner
We're missing arcane beast weapons for infantry, fliers. Armours might not get that as they're on the same spot as colorless mages or worse.
PM1 can finally give his Mercedes the arcane staff.
Waiting for a Arcane Staff that gives flat DR on Def for Bruno and Azama 🙏
I want to give it to Elice, but she’s sadly bad right?
Finally staffs get some crumbs to help them. I feel like they cpuld jave gone further with this - considering the amount of other skills that Staffs dont get access to that everyone else does (Smokes, Blows, etc).
But very nice that my B!Veronica can get the refine shes wanted. No, shes not gotten a refine before, and tou cant change myind
For my +10 Forrest hands down.
But the real question is… Arcane Charmer or Seaside Parasol?
Arcane Charmer!
Going to Brave Vero immediately
Wrys is only Tier 4... :(
I can finally upgrade my Saul 🙏
why staff healers so sad??
A gift for my Dwyer. .........and maybe for Lena if I get more than one copy of Hortensia.
My orbs are now dead..
…So don't give Bridal Fjorm the Arcane Charmer?😶
Huh. Welp! My orbs are safe until the Attuned Caeda banner wins a banner poll!
Eh, unless they add a prettier DoA unit than Nyna then she'll prolly be the only "practical" choice.
Being a Sakura fan out here hurts. : (
Is it even worth going for Charmer for her?
Serra bros, we eating good 😭😭
Sad. Waited so long for an arcane staff, then my favorite healer Sakura can't even maximize it.
I’m guessing your giving the arcane staff to Mercedes right 😏
Staff armor units 💀💀
NO! Show the Wrys top tier meme build! Are still afraid of Takumi’s close combat? What year is it?
Mercedes in SS top tier 😂
