Sigurd is literally the most available non-DLC Emblem in the game, and his mobility combined with Override cannot be overstated. Canter frees up an inherited skill slot, while Momentum can add that bit of extra damage for Override or other attacks to just one shot. Honestly I think he is top tier Emblem material, just a tier below Micaiah and Soren.
surprised you didn’t mention the max level sages in his paralogue. they have a ton of health bars and due to scaled exp gain you can get a BUNCH of exp on your overleveled units they can’t obtain anywhere else
Sigurd passives stats have everything that a Sandstorm Timerra wants, and it opens one space for an extra skill since she doesn't need to inherit canter if you use him
Ditto on the Timerra synergy, she double dips on all the stats he gives and loves extra move to be a consistent initiator. Give her engraved Brionac, Pair Up and another skill of your choice (eg. Break Defenses or Speedtaker) and she soloes almost everything and EPs like a boss.
@@ShawFujikawa Personally I like to just use a brave lance with lance power and Speedtaker, 4 hits with +10 atk ( and 4 chances to proc Sandstorm) are no joke
Sandstorm also procs on Overdrive. Timerra also can use S Rank Lances, which means she can overdrive with the Venomous which is not only stronger than SIlver Greatlance but also applies poison if it doesn't kill after the engage attack.
IMO Sigurd's Momentum is pretty underrated and is legit cheap for a skill which works perfectly for hit-and-run units or just things that have a lot of movement and also happen to not have a lot of speed.
I was wondering if you were gonna do more of these after the Marth one. Especially since I rewatched Marth’s yesterday. Edit: for future reference, show a comparison for the Engage Weapon compared to the regular weapon (like here, should’ve shown the regular Ridersbane’s and Brave Lance’s stats compared to Sigurd’s). Also, I’d argue Sigurd’s Paralogue is worth doing just so the skills benefit your main Emblem Sigurd user. Also also, I figure that Sigurd really is Alfred’s canon Emblem. A properly trained Alfred can really benefit from the Build and Hit Sigurd gives, making the Brave Lance quite reliable and not getting weighed down by some of the heavier lances. Giving Alfred a Holy engraved Silver Lance or Représailles can really give him good avoid and hit. And thematically, they fit. Both are known to be somewhat reckless, they ride white horses and have a code of honor that makes them help people, and SPOILERS both die a premature death.
Also, on another note, putting Sigurd on Seadall is a viable option for an 11 move Dancer (13 if you give him both pairs of Boots you get in the base game).
The odd thing however is that he has unique dialogue with Lucina in her Paralogue, yet not Sigurd (unless I’m wrong), which portrays her as his canon emblem. Sigurd makes far more sense for him though imo
@@rattyxoxo7397 I think Lucina is due to the intro cutscene, which is implied to be from 1,000 years ago, plus being the ancestors of the royals from the present. And you also can’t forget the opening showing him with Celica’s ring despite it coming with Céline. Though that’s probably because it’s Firene’s ring and he’s the crown prince.
Sigurd doesn’t really help Alfred when he needs help the most - early on, when he’s getting constantly doubled and the extra build isn’t enough to save him from his low base speed. Even lategame I think he’s pretty mid on Alfred. The stats are okay but what benefits is he getting from all that move? It’s not like he’s a crazy EP unit like Louis.
I basically never used override, but I threw Sigurd onto seadall along with giving him both pairs of boots. It was 110% unoptimal but my guy had 10 base move if there was someone to dance at the end of his 7 move and that was even without engaging
One of the better uses I've found for Overdrive is to use it to chip at or kill clumps of Qi Adepts that Maddening often throws at you to protect strong enemies. Also, if you ever get the resources to upgrade any engage weapons, I'd recommend upgrading his Ridersbane since the extra 4 Mt translates to an extra 12 damage to cavalry which becomes especially useful when Overdriving through them
I put Sigurd on my Framme and she felt pretty good with him, she really appreciated the bonus Defense and Build and the extra Movement helped her reach units to heal them and let her do solid damage in a pinch with Momentum; Override was a bit meh but the 20% break chance was nice
Friendly reminder to everyone that Momentum is +Attack and NOT +Damage. The bonus is still mitigated by defense and late-game can be an almost negligible increase compared to any fixed damage additives
@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa +Damage means it's added on top of whatever the result of Atk - enemy def or res is and cannot be mitigated by other factors. Things like poison, Lunar Brace, and Alear's personal add +Damage and allow attacks that otherwise would do 0 damage to deal damage.
Irrelevant to the gameplay topic but Sigurd is also the second important emblem whom have the most spotlight story-wise. But overall, a great character in Engage.
It could just be me, but I feel like Lucina should have been the second most important Emblem story wise considering when she’s given in chapter 10, Alear makes note of how she’s effectively the Marth replacement cause she’s given to Alear following Alear losing the emblems. Not to say Sigurd doesn’t have a reason to be important as he was the Emblem Lumera used so it could be viewed as a “oh hey, my mother used it so it’s important in that sense” but the fact that Sigurd is the one Alear chooses to call forth to explain their heritage always felt weird to me.
For the Sigurd explaining Alear’s heritage, I guess it was fitting as he was probably the emblem that Lumera would main, but I getting that information from Lumera’s first battle. I would say that Sigurd the oldest who understands the grief with Alear but actually he is the one who haven’t been taken at the beginning at the game (hence the emblem of Luinca, Leif, Eirika, and Byleth is stolen) where he and Marth confort Alear from the death of Lumera.
I'll never forget on my first pt paladin amber litterally crossing the whole end map thanks to sigurd to reach my byleth alear and break sombron's hp bar, only to do a full circle arround sombron (ok maybe I'm exagerating) after the byleth dance to maximize momentum damage. Overall sigurd is so fun on an offensive unit, momentum one shots from across the map are amazing
One nice thing about his Paralogue is that the 2 tile bridge is very easy to bonded shield enemy phase, provided your bonded shield user has enough res or avoid to not be attacked. In my most recent run, I used Wolf Knight Alear with Micaiah engraved Dagger on Lucina to not be attacked, while providing 100% protection to Mage Knight Anna and Chloé who can double and kill most enemies. It’s a very strong and reliable way to keep the rest of your team safe, until Sigurd overrides through them, where he can then be killed by the rest of your units. The issue is only having 3/4 turns of Bonded Shield per engage, but with Emblem pools nearby and Seadall its not difficult to grab one and get back into formation, or inherit Favourite Food with Well book SP for a portable Emblem pool recharge.
By positioning two units with 100% evasion, you can cause all the enemy units to clump up, and you can kill them at your leisure. Sigurd doesn't seem to use override unless it affects more than one unit. In fact, he kind of just sits off to the side while the Maddening AI enemies just clump up in front of your barricade. Although, I basically use Framme as Alear's "evasion buddy," so it may not be to everyone's play style.
Only one disagreement, Sigurds paralogue is notably one of the easiest due to the lack of reenforcemts or time pressure. This means you can do it very early, which is nice.

Personally I prefer Lance Power to Lunar Brace because LP works on Player Phase and Enemy Phase while LB only works on PP.

Paralouge also gives a godess icon
I would love an FE a game that revolved around aoe attacks like override
sigurd more like sigood (because he is useful)
Canter is great and all units love extra movement, that's what Sigurd offers you.
I glued him to Chloe and she has been hard-carrying my second playthrough.

Damn...
Having been stuck on Chapter 26 for about a week now, I disagree. The extra 1 move Canter+ gives over base Canter can come in IMMENSELY useful.
Sigurd stills breaks a thing in this game like in his original game because LMAO long movement range.
Beware of the few enemies that actually use him!
Divine pulse is only better sadly if the unit had a luck stat, ivy and panette crying in the corner.
Divine Pulse+ is still a base 50% activation.

Did you say cancer? Im so confused. Maybe im hearing things.
It’s probably a waste, but I’m using him on Seadall. 7 mv dancer is good but on Louis I bet he’s better
Just to be clear he is saying canter like cancer, or is just me?
sigurd is the real jagen in engage. he's great early on, but is hard to justify putting on anyone besides your dancer later.
