Something subtle to be aware of when using the fairy blast. The blast extends in all directions, but it will only hit enemies onscreen. This means that by default, it only hits in front of you. However, if you spin the camera immediately after you regain control, you can load the enemies behind you and cause them to take damage too. You have to move the camera fast because the hitbox doesn't last very long; I suggest turning your character around and spamming ZL to instantly recenter the camera. I'm not talking about the lingering effects here, like the ongoing damage from dark-elemental blasts. The initial hitbox also lingers for a split second after you regain control, and that's the reason you have to act so fast. This is also why the blast is so good at taking keeps: the boss can take a moment to show up after you wipe the minions, but since the hitbox lingers, there's about a 50-50 chance it'll last until the boss loads. You can improve your odds by spamming L to lock onto the boss and bring it onscreen.
@@BlitzkriegOmega no, I'm pretty sure it can hit enemies that haven't appeared yet, as I've been using them quite a bit and I tend to get a couple hundred, (up to like 400-500 in big groups) with each blast.
It can indeed hit enemies that haven't been rendered yet, and even linger for a moment to get aome as they spawn (within about a second or so). A high-enough-level blast can completely clear a keep, including killing the Keep Boss as he spawns.

6:45 I've found this statement regarding clothing to be false. At least in regards to magic cost reduction. If I give my light fairy with a fire element secondary all fire clothing, the cost of using the blast is still reduced. Hard to tell if it also works with damage since the fairy I tested on was low level. But the magic reduction definitely works.
It also works with damage. Wearing clothing that matches the fairy's primary element, increases the damage of the initial fairy blast. Wearing clothing that matches darkness-secondary, increases the damage enemies take over time, while inside the barrier. Wearing Clothing that matches light-secondary, increases the healing of allies. Wearing clothing that matches a fire-secondary, reduces enemy defenses even further. Wearing clothing that matches a water-secondary, increases ally defenses even further. Wearing Clothing that matches Lightning-Secondary, reduces enemy movement even further. As a result, if you have two lightning-secondary element effect, and wear clothing that increases lightning-damage, you have the strongest slow-down effect possible. Which does mean, a lightning fairy is strongest, when the two secondary effects are lightning element, as that means wearing lightning enhancing clothing enhances both the initial blast, and the secondary effect simultaneously.
@@deathsheir2035 Hey, I hate to respond to a two-month-old post, but I cannot for the life of me find any other source that's claiming this, and I'd really like to know if it's true or not.
It's hard to notice in some cases, but I have experimented with this. Looking at the darkness effect, of damage over time, the damage it inflicts is already small and hard to see happening (you only know enemies are under the effects because of the overlay, on the models when they are in the barrier). And because of the other objectives you need to do during play, you're killing the enemies before you can even notice the difference anyway. The Light effect is almost in similar vain, because you're moving from one location to another, fast enough, that you've likely left the area, before you notice the increased healing. Fire that gives reduced defenses to enemies, is another tricky one, because if you use too weak of a character, it won't matter, but use too strong of a character, still won't matter. So finding a character that has difficulties without defense reduction, but can manage if done correctly, was a must. After I learned about how broken Sheik was, Testing this became a breeze. There is a definite improvement when using Fire damage enhancing clothing with a fire-secondary effect. Water effect, is in the same vain as the light and dark effects, in that you're likely killing enemies so quickly, that you hardly notice a difference in ally defenses (it does not improve your defenses). The Lightning Effect, is another tricky one to notice, because again, you're moving from 1 location to another, to complete the mission, to hardly notice. But, still possible to time, by standing in the center of your barrier (which automatically centers on you) and watch as enemies hobble towards you very slowly. Getting in a position where there are no allies to intercept them, made it a challenge. I have failed, many missions, to test all of these thoroughly. But the only real deciding factor was the defense reduction, and the difference between how quickly Sheik was able to defeat enemies. Sheik was so low level, but because of how broken he was, low level didn't matter, Sheik kicks butt, just takes a long time. The time difference between no reduction, non-enhanced reduction, and enhanced reduction, was certainly noticeable. The difference between non-enhanced reduction, and enhanced reduction, was small, but fractions of a second can often times mean the difference between victory and defeat. This even applies to when a fairy has 2x fire-secondary, the time difference in defeating enemies is small, but significant enough.
never use a dark element effect added to a fairy nuke when you face manhandla, it makes it so it auto defends each pulse and you can never get it with a boomerang during that time
If I had a nickel for every My Fairy guide I found online that actually helped me, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's annoying that it only happened twice.
I find the darkness element the most useful, because it lasts a while and does some pretty good damage overtime, that’s just my personal preference though
1:32 Just wanted to clarify his first tip about ‘food dropping randomly’. It’s actually NOT entirely random. As shown at 5:42, foods have different elemental properties - which also applies to the different enemy types. Enemies will only drop foods that are of their same elemental type, so the only thing that is completely random is the bronze, silver or gold quality of it. So if you’re trying to collect a specific type of food, make sure you’re: Playing on a map that has lots of enemies of that type, use a weapon with Food+, craft a potion that raises the chance of that specific food type dropping, and(if you’ve leveled a fairy properly) equip any fairy skills that also affect food drops.
This guide pretty much saved me from throwing my switch lmao I could not for the love of me figure out how get drops for fair food this guide is a lifesaver! Underrated youtuber hands down.
i didn't even know this was a thing that existed as i only played on wii u. I had already 100% hyrule warriors on wii u before definitive edition came out and i was like there's no way I'm doing all that again.
That was my main consideration when I got a switch. But after hearing that the fairy system helps quite a bit I got it and it is a blast. The switching charecters mechanic is also helpfull. I have taken a partner into battles and switching to them to use a fighter I am more comffefable with or wittle down a tough oponant's hp then switch to an underlevelled fighter to give them some good expieriance or when I need to take care of something scatterd through the map (mandala stalks) I can comand fighters to locations and switch to them if needed. All these little mechanics make the game more funn to me.
Just commenting cuz I watched this guide a couple of years ago, if your playing hyrule warriors definitive edition, and freaking out about certain fairy foods witch you don't have yet, ones unlocked on other maps, and just don't realize that it's gonna take time, to get to those foods..., consider focusing on one fairy and changing her attributes to unlock more useful for the other maps...
Well, I did 4 maps and are above 80 on the rest, so I am the guy that shuld feel a little dumb, guess I shuld do ome research before going inn to game 😅
I personally like to run the Light and Darkness fairy blast effects together to make a field where enemies are disadvantaged by slowly getting weaker due to draining health whilst my AI allies gradually get stronger from the healing, plus the healing effect is real nice for those times where important to keep alive keeps or allies are about to fall so as to allow me to take the pressure off with the blast while fortifying it/them in the long run by allowing it/them to recover so I don't have to worry about it again for awhile.
why they dont make an "my army" mod there the player can customize is army by make the soldier have the race the weapon and the skin the player prefer istead of this?!
@@TheRizlaSlim It came out first, so he started don that one, I presume. And since this game is such a time sink, I can't imagine he'd want to switch half-way through.
I know this is old but I believe he plays the Japanese version because he lives in Japan. I think he said once that he teaches English to Japanese students.
Gratitude Crystal, a special food item that is missed by those who do not release fairies of such high levels. Gratitude Crystal comes in two variations, Silver or Gold. They increase all personality traits by the same amount. Gold giving larger increases than silver. Gold also increases the Fairy's trust (the number next to the heart), like other gold food (though other gold food only increases trust if it matches the element of the fairy eating it).
So, is it better, worse, or Inconsequential which fairy you pick, compared to the warrior/weapon you choose? Like, if I’m Link, should I use a light fairy? Or because I’m using gauntlets, I should use the electric fairy? Or if it’s inconsequential, should I still use the fire fairy, since it should cause damage to be greater?
My biggest problem with this is that it is so random which food increases which personality trait that it drives me crazy. And there are some personality trait combinations for some of my fairies where there are no good food items to feed them and I do not understand why ... Is it really this random? I have almost collected all of the different types of food with every rarity.
having looked for quite some time (yes I know I am responding to 11month old comment), the traits that are increased by food is not random. Each piece of food will increase the same stats every time. The Zelda Wiki, concerning My fairy, has it accurate, so I recommend using it to find the best food for your fairy: zelda.gamepedia.com/My_Fairy#Food_.26_Fairy_type What isn't mentioned in the wiki: Bronze Food increases fairy's level by 1 Silver Food increases Fairy's level by 2 Gold food increases fairy's level by 3
Another note: Gratitude crystals are the best. You obtain gratitude crystals by releasing fairies, which can only be done when obtaining a fairy when you're already at your limit. The higher heart count (look to right of fairy level), I believe the more gratitude crystals. not entirely sure.
@@deathsheir2035 So does the faries innate elemental type matter? I'm using a light fairy and once I'm done with her I'm planning on giving her the fire elements through food.
@@milo9086 Short Answer: No, the innate element, also called primary element, does not matter. Long Answer: The Primary element of a fairy, which you called innate elemental type, determines the element of the burst damage that happens upon a fairy's use in combat. This burst damage is affected by clothing that boosts the power of the same element (clothing that boosts light, will boost light element burst damage). The burst damage, from the testing I have done, is also affected by the "recommended element" that some maps have. So if the fairy's primary element is the same as the recommended element for the map, the damage will be given a boost as well. Secondary elements, are also boosted by the clothing that boosts the power of the respective clothing. So Fire Clothing will boost fire-element secondary effect. I haven't done too much testing concerning secondary effects, and how it interacts with recommended element of certain maps. So I am unsure if Recommended element boosts secondary effects or not. Dual-Elemental fairies, as I shall refer to them from this point forward, must choose which of their elements to boost the power of, because power boosting clothing does not affect both elements. This is in contrast to clothing that reduces the cost of mana, to use the fairy. So long as the fairy has the associated element, the mana-reduction effect stacks as normal. Because of how power boosting clothing works, the strongest fairy is technically one that is strictly a single element all the way through, because the clothing will not only boost the initial burst damage, but also the secondary effects applied to the combat area, at the same time. However, having a fairy be a single element, can also be a bit restrictive. Both methods, of giving a fairy a second element, or keeping a fairy to a single element, are viable fairy builds. Heck, Even a triple element fairy, say Light Water and Fire, is a viable build.
So does this confirm that light ball fairies are actually cute girls? Cause you find them in a jar as a light ball but they change once you are done with the level. Aka, is navi a cute girl under the light ball?
The best clothes to use, depends on the Fairy's primary element, and the two Secondary-Elements. a Fairy with Primary Light, and Two Light Secondary effects, will only benefit from clothes that enhances light element (either by increasing damage, or reducing magic cost). What clothes to use, is entirely up to you. A Fairy with Primary Light, Water-Secondary, and Fire-Secondary, will benefit from any clothes that enhance either Light, Water, or Fire. Magic Cost Reduction, has two slots and can be of either water fire or light, in any combination (two light, or a fire/water, or light/water, etc.). If you want the initial blast to deal massive damage, clothes that enhance light-damage is best. If you want to increase the defenses of your allies further, clothes that increases water-damage is best. If you want to reduce enemy defenses further, then clothes that increase fire-damage is best. If you want the three to be balanced, then having one light-damage-up clothing, one fire-damage-up clothing, and one water-damage-up clothing, is best (slot order only matters if you want the top-clothing, to fill two slots instead of just one, at the cost of a magic-reduction slot). Yes, that is still confusing, but is the simplest way I can describe it.
My only question is what is the difference when One fairy of an element has a different wing pattern than a fairy of the same element. I’ve noticed it’s more uncommon to get this alternate pattern, is it only esthetic or does it give the fairy better stats.
Fortunately their wing designs are entirely aesthetic only, otherwise there would probably be a ton of grinding involved in getting a fairy to look exactly how you want it.
It may not seem like it at all. But slowly, you’ll start to see the progress as you keep refreshing. I had the same problem. But now as I’ve refreshed my fairy 13 times, I can tell the difference.
One thing that threw me off here, you mention that non original element clothing will not give a benefit. Are you sure this is correct? I have a light fairy that i gave double bombos to. Now all fire clothing buffs are lit up when i equip her. Im assuming this means she is also getting these buffs? Please let me know your thoughts if this is correct or not.
No, that's the multiple Warriors mechanic that was added to the 3DS and onwards. No more running all over the map because one of your dumb captains are getting their butt kicked, just change to another warrior that is close by and take care of the issue and change back.
@@diegomedina9637 Best part: nothing forces you to take advantage of that mechanic. You can still schelpp your ass all over the map as your husbando/waifu without any punishment beyond "you're running around instead of killing shit."
So say i have a Darkness fairy with Bombos (Fire) for both magic attacks and i dress her with Darkness clothes. Would the benifits of the Darkness clothes go towards my Bombos magic attack or no since its a different element?
Yes and no. Magic cost reduction, so long as the element is associated with the fairy (be it her base element, or element from a secondary effect) will always apply to the use of the fairy. Damage/effect increase, is element dependent. Bombos is a fire effect, and you have a dark fairy. Wearing clothing that increases darkness damage, will only increase the damage dealt by the burst attack upon use. wearing clothing that increases fire damage, will further decrease the defenses of your foes.
Is there any way to get certain foods for certain attributes that you want your fairy to have, ie, what food boost should you use to get Smiley attribute? TIA!
I'v ben plahing for some time ( I got 14 faries) but I was wondering. I havn't used fairy magic muhc and save my attakc for focus spirjg. Is the fairy giving an boost to my charecter or oneley when I activate the magic. For example is my dark fairy powering up Twili Midna or Skull kid's dark attacks?
I do believe they double the effect of that clothing item, but like mentioned in the video, you’ll lose the ability to equip clothing for that other effect.
I absolutely HATE features like this that are SO over complicated, why not just let the fairy get to level 99 or whatever ONE TIME, and let that be that, my goodness
Even if you don’t find this complicated, I personally understand it fairly well, but it don’t change the fact that this over all feature of having to find food and level and refresh a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS
As far as I'm concerned, this mode is very much designed for the long-term hardcore players, who want to 100%. If you're in it for the long haul, it's a massive boon to have this complex but rewarding system.
That's because they are eternally re-stocking. It becomes useful if you want to grind certain foods, although the problem then becomes that the icons don't tell you what it is exactly.
so can anyone tell me where and how do i actually find a fairy? i have the definitive edition and my fairy is grayed out and i cant access it, and i cant find fearies anywhere will someone please help? please tell me in a non cryptic way.
You have a limited number of Fairy slots, but there’s a couple dozen fairies that can be rescued. One you reach that fairy spot limit though, you’ll be forced to release a fairy(either an existing one or the newly caught one). Once released though, they WILL reappear on the map where they were originally reached, but unfortunately all their stats are reset.

I have a specific question about some skills. I noticed how some fairy skills are blacked out in the quick menu. Like for example XP Master I am able to use, but XP Master + is blacked out, why does that happen?
Maki Ruby Rose i am not sure about this, but I would expect that they do the same thing (the Master+ just do it better I guess) and they just do not stack or aren’t allowed to be stacked... so you just can equip one of them.
I personally don't like the fairy part of the game..just adds more complication. It's already enough worrying about character level proper weapons and potion usage ..did we really need such a complicated mechanic? Idk
This "my fairy" thing is such a mess... I wish they had never introduced it in the game. The extra characters and 4+ weapons were enough! This "fairy" system is extremely (and unnecessarily) confusing, it also kind of breaks the game, as it gives those ridiculous abilities that people exploit to cheat, such as "endless focus spirit" and others. They took a great game and ruined it.
@@ironrex6979 No, I've played the WiiU version before the switch was released, and it is much better without them... I bet most people who have played the "original" version would agree.

Wow. Somehow they managed to make this even MORE of a pain in the ass.
I nearly beat Legend Mode before I got my first fairy. I didn't know you had to smash the brown pots. I got my first fairy on accident
Omg, thank you so much. I had no idea about how food influenced the two elemental passives. 🙏
This guide pretty much saved me from throwing my switch lmao I could not for the love of me figure out how get drops for fair food this guide is a lifesaver! Underrated youtuber hands down.
i didn't even know this was a thing that existed as i only played on wii u. I had already 100% hyrule warriors on wii u before definitive edition came out and i was like there's no way I'm doing all that again.
That was my main consideration when I got a switch. But after hearing that the fairy system helps quite a bit I got it and it is a blast. The switching charecters mechanic is also helpfull. I have taken a partner into battles and switching to them to use a fighter I am more comffefable with or wittle down a tough oponant's hp then switch to an underlevelled fighter to give them some good expieriance or when I need to take care of something scatterd through the map (mandala stalks) I can comand fighters to locations and switch to them if needed. All these little mechanics make the game more funn to me.
Seriously though, this was really helpful. there isn't a lot of information and this cleared it up nicely!
Just commenting cuz I watched this guide a couple of years ago, if your playing hyrule warriors definitive edition, and freaking out about certain fairy foods witch you don't have yet, ones unlocked on other maps, and just don't realize that it's gonna take time, to get to those foods..., consider focusing on one fairy and changing her attributes to unlock more useful for the other maps...
Thank you for existing, your voice is calming and you explain things super thoughtfully and easily. Thank you for doing what you do.
I got a fairy on the adventure map that lets me one shot but makes me oneshotable.
I dressed her in the little demon lord outfit.
before:huh then it's probably something i can ignore like the multiple warriors mechanic
after:TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING
2:35 WHAT
I DID THE THREE FIRST MAPS AT 100% WITHOUT KNOWING THAT
I'M DUMB
I feel your pain
I'm in the same boat. If I'd known this sooner I would've captured the right keeps a lot faster and made faster progress.
Well, I did 4 maps and are above 80 on the rest, so I am the guy that shuld feel a little dumb, guess I shuld do ome research before going inn to game 😅
Same! And I’ve beaten all three versions of the game without ever noticing that feature! 😑
I love the my Fairy theme
I personally like to run the Light and Darkness fairy blast effects together to make a field where enemies are disadvantaged by slowly getting weaker due to draining health whilst my AI allies gradually get stronger from the healing, plus the healing effect is real nice for those times where important to keep alive keeps or allies are about to fall so as to allow me to take the pressure off with the blast while fortifying it/them in the long run by allowing it/them to recover so I don't have to worry about it again for awhile.
I should note that doing exactly that with the Light blast healing effect has saved me on many high pressure maps.
I need to max out my faeries 😲
This was a amazing guide, I have a better understanding of My fairy's, I know what I must do now.
Thanks for the video. 🥰
For anyone wondering what the max power level is, for Definitive Edition, it goes up to 255, but if you refresh her again, it'll go back to 0.
why they dont make an "my army" mod there the player can customize is army by make the soldier have the race the weapon and the skin the player prefer istead of this?!
Why not both?
I rather have unlimited nukes thank you very much.
I feel this on a personal level
sounds like a better version of this for Age of Calamity, get full use out of the different pieces you earn for Link and might end up way less complex
Instead of getting my fairy, give me YOUR fairy!
or purchase an iFairy
I just want to collect and dress up cute fairies tbh
Out of curiosity - Why do you play the Japanese Versions?
Hmm, I don't think I'm gonna get an answer
@@TheRizlaSlim It came out first, so he started don that one, I presume. And since this game is such a time sink, I can't imagine he'd want to switch half-way through.
I know this is old but I believe he plays the Japanese version because he lives in Japan. I think he said once that he teaches English to Japanese students.
Oh thank god I found your channel. Otherwise I would have never know how to get a single fairy
Maaan u my homie now
if you release a fairy and get them back do they keep the skills they learned?
You didn't talk about the gratitude... thing (i don't know their english name), when you release a fairy that is level 25 or higher
Gratitude Crystal
Gratitude Crystal, a special food item that is missed by those who do not release fairies of such high levels.
Gratitude Crystal comes in two variations, Silver or Gold. They increase all personality traits by the same amount. Gold giving larger increases than silver. Gold also increases the Fairy's trust (the number next to the heart), like other gold food (though other gold food only increases trust if it matches the element of the fairy eating it).
So, is it better, worse, or Inconsequential which fairy you pick, compared to the warrior/weapon you choose?
Like, if I’m Link, should I use a light fairy? Or because I’m using gauntlets, I should use the electric fairy? Or if it’s inconsequential, should I still use the fire fairy, since it should cause damage to be greater?
It don't matter
Use always the fire fairy
I do that too
I swear: I think some of my fairies are flirting with me. Not sure how to feel about this....
I'm on Grand Travels and just figured out how to use this mythical double Bombos. Thanks for the vid.
My biggest problem with this is that it is so random which food increases which personality trait that it drives me crazy. And there are some personality trait combinations for some of my fairies where there are no good food items to feed them and I do not understand why ... Is it really this random? I have almost collected all of the different types of food with every rarity.
having looked for quite some time (yes I know I am responding to 11month old comment), the traits that are increased by food is not random. Each piece of food will increase the same stats every time. The Zelda Wiki, concerning My fairy, has it accurate, so I recommend using it to find the best food for your fairy: zelda.gamepedia.com/My_Fairy#Food_.26_Fairy_type
What isn't mentioned in the wiki:
Bronze Food increases fairy's level by 1
Silver Food increases Fairy's level by 2
Gold food increases fairy's level by 3
Another note: Gratitude crystals are the best. You obtain gratitude crystals by releasing fairies, which can only be done when obtaining a fairy when you're already at your limit. The higher heart count (look to right of fairy level), I believe the more gratitude crystals. not entirely sure.
@@deathsheir2035 So does the faries innate elemental type matter? I'm using a light fairy and once I'm done with her I'm planning on giving her the fire elements through food.
@@milo9086 Short Answer: No, the innate element, also called primary element, does not matter.
Long Answer: The Primary element of a fairy, which you called innate elemental type, determines the element of the burst damage that happens upon a fairy's use in combat. This burst damage is affected by clothing that boosts the power of the same element (clothing that boosts light, will boost light element burst damage).
The burst damage, from the testing I have done, is also affected by the "recommended element" that some maps have. So if the fairy's primary element is the same as the recommended element for the map, the damage will be given a boost as well.
Secondary elements, are also boosted by the clothing that boosts the power of the respective clothing. So Fire Clothing will boost fire-element secondary effect.
I haven't done too much testing concerning secondary effects, and how it interacts with recommended element of certain maps. So I am unsure if Recommended element boosts secondary effects or not.
Dual-Elemental fairies, as I shall refer to them from this point forward, must choose which of their elements to boost the power of, because power boosting clothing does not affect both elements.
This is in contrast to clothing that reduces the cost of mana, to use the fairy. So long as the fairy has the associated element, the mana-reduction effect stacks as normal.
Because of how power boosting clothing works, the strongest fairy is technically one that is strictly a single element all the way through, because the clothing will not only boost the initial burst damage, but also the secondary effects applied to the combat area, at the same time.
However, having a fairy be a single element, can also be a bit restrictive.
Both methods, of giving a fairy a second element, or keeping a fairy to a single element, are viable fairy builds. Heck, Even a triple element fairy, say Light Water and Fire, is a viable build.
How to do the fairy magic
So does this confirm that light ball fairies are actually cute girls? Cause you find them in a jar as a light ball but they change once you are done with the level. Aka, is navi a cute girl under the light ball?
I don’t use glass cannon, I use the keep keeper, and the faster travel with heart bonds and special bonds
Well now I know what certain foods to give my 2 fairies.
Why do you play the Japanese version. Just wondering.
I still haven’t even unlocked it and I’m done with two maps in adventure mode and all of story mode lol
I still don't understand the benefits and I wish to know what are the best fairies, clothes, foods, etc. Maybe I play HW wrong
The best clothes to use, depends on the Fairy's primary element, and the two Secondary-Elements.
a Fairy with Primary Light, and Two Light Secondary effects, will only benefit from clothes that enhances light element (either by increasing damage, or reducing magic cost). What clothes to use, is entirely up to you.
A Fairy with Primary Light, Water-Secondary, and Fire-Secondary, will benefit from any clothes that enhance either Light, Water, or Fire. Magic Cost Reduction, has two slots and can be of either water fire or light, in any combination (two light, or a fire/water, or light/water, etc.). If you want the initial blast to deal massive damage, clothes that enhance light-damage is best. If you want to increase the defenses of your allies further, clothes that increases water-damage is best. If you want to reduce enemy defenses further, then clothes that increase fire-damage is best. If you want the three to be balanced, then having one light-damage-up clothing, one fire-damage-up clothing, and one water-damage-up clothing, is best (slot order only matters if you want the top-clothing, to fill two slots instead of just one, at the cost of a magic-reduction slot).
Yes, that is still confusing, but is the simplest way I can describe it.
1:10 That single silver medal in your Hyrule map is OCD triggering, to say the least..!
Does the My Fairy bonuses help significantly enough for a casual player to eventually clear all the brutal S ranks on all extra Adventure maps?
can you get these fairy thing in the DLC of the wii u version? :(
yes
Late response, sorry, but no, you can't.
@@BearfaxII Pff
It's ok bro, don't worry :')
Okay but how do you raise fairy trust??
Can we have more fairy stuff PLS 😁
My only question is what is the difference when One fairy of an element has a different wing pattern than a fairy of the same element. I’ve noticed it’s more uncommon to get this alternate pattern, is it only esthetic or does it give the fairy better stats.
Fortunately their wing designs are entirely aesthetic only, otherwise there would probably be a ton of grinding involved in getting a fairy to look exactly how you want it.
Um Shane? The link for the website isn't in the description of this version.
Thanks, I'll grab it!
I reset my fairy but the stats is totally reset, I don't have the 10%? Why?
It may not seem like it at all. But slowly, you’ll start to see the progress as you keep refreshing. I had the same problem. But now as I’ve refreshed my fairy 13 times, I can tell the difference.
BLESS
Why do you play the japanese version?
Weeeeeebbb
One thing that threw me off here, you mention that non original element clothing will not give a benefit. Are you sure this is correct?
I have a light fairy that i gave double bombos to. Now all fire clothing buffs are lit up when i equip her. Im assuming this means she is also getting these buffs? Please let me know your thoughts if this is correct or not.
This makes the game like 100 times more fun I can’t even go back to the Wii U version
No, that's the multiple Warriors mechanic that was added to the 3DS and onwards. No more running all over the map because one of your dumb captains are getting their butt kicked, just change to another warrior that is close by and take care of the issue and change back.
@@diegomedina9637 Best part: nothing forces you to take advantage of that mechanic. You can still schelpp your ass all over the map as your husbando/waifu without any punishment beyond "you're running around instead of killing shit."
wheres the button that shows the elemental percentage-thingie from food they've eaten?
So say i have a Darkness fairy with Bombos (Fire) for both magic attacks and i dress her with Darkness clothes. Would the benifits of the Darkness clothes go towards my Bombos magic attack or no since its a different element?
Yes and no.
Magic cost reduction, so long as the element is associated with the fairy (be it her base element, or element from a secondary effect) will always apply to the use of the fairy.
Damage/effect increase, is element dependent. Bombos is a fire effect, and you have a dark fairy. Wearing clothing that increases darkness damage, will only increase the damage dealt by the burst attack upon use. wearing clothing that increases fire damage, will further decrease the defenses of your foes.
I don't like that using a Fairy Blast drains your Focus Spirit meter. They should've made two separate meters for Focus Spirit and Fairy Blast.
That is kind of dumb, but once you have the proper hero/weapon bonuses for your heroes, those bars do refill pretty fast.
How do you unlocked My fairy
Buy Definitive Edition
Is there any way to get certain foods for certain attributes that you want your fairy to have, ie, what food boost should you use to get Smiley attribute? TIA!
Why do you play Japan version
Is that Myfairy named "Seles" for the reason I think it is?
I'v ben plahing for some time ( I got 14 faries) but I was wondering. I havn't used fairy magic muhc and save my attakc for focus spirjg. Is the fairy giving an boost to my charecter or oneley when I activate the magic. For example is my dark fairy powering up Twili Midna or Skull kid's dark attacks?
While I love this game, it's a prime example of how to not design your UI / UX. Thank you for this guide!
So do clothes that use double slots (like Fi’s close) have double effect? Or do they just take up an extra slot with no extra benefit?
I do believe they double the effect of that clothing item, but like mentioned in the video, you’ll lose the ability to equip clothing for that other effect.
Are rainbow skills passives or actives?
Most or if not all of the rainbow tier skills are just the gold tier skills with multiple uses I think.
So how do the skills actually work? Are they passively active or do they trigger with the fairy blast?
Some are passive, some you use like an item
Chests on the menu described in this video do not mark the my fairy on the map
I absolutely HATE features like this that are SO over complicated, why not just let the fairy get to level 99 or whatever ONE TIME, and let that be that, my goodness
Even if you don’t find this complicated, I personally understand it fairly well, but it don’t change the fact that this over all feature of having to find food and level and refresh a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS
As far as I'm concerned, this mode is very much designed for the long-term hardcore players, who want to 100%. If you're in it for the long haul, it's a massive boon to have this complex but rewarding system.
I hate how the game doesn't check off food icons D:
That's because they are eternally re-stocking. It becomes useful if you want to grind certain foods, although the problem then becomes that the icons don't tell you what it is exactly.
Why do you play the Japanese version?
so can anyone tell me where and how do i actually find a fairy? i have the definitive edition and my fairy is grayed out and i cant access it, and i cant find fearies anywhere will someone please help? please tell me in a non cryptic way.
08:28 So you're saying stop leveling up at 50, as opposed to refreshing?
Until you have the food to both get them refreshed and back to 50
@@UltaFlame Isn't the radius bigger if your fairy is level 99 than it would be if it's level 50?
I still want to stay away from my fairy after so many years.
So do you only have a limited number of fairies you can get. Or do they refresh
You have a limited number of Fairy slots, but there’s a couple dozen fairies that can be rescued. One you reach that fairy spot limit though, you’ll be forced to release a fairy(either an existing one or the newly caught one). Once released though, they WILL reappear on the map where they were originally reached, but unfortunately all their stats are reset.
Actually they’re called companion fairies
They look cuter in legends tbh. Here, they look like barbies but in legends they’re actual waifus
I Play hyrule Warriors. But I don’t know why why why is working I keep pressing r
R activates the focus spirit and pushing down the right thumbstick activates the fairy blast
How to unlock fairy
How do you set them back to level one?
When they hit Level 99, you will see a button at the bottom of your screen to Refresh them. On Switch it's 'Y' I believe.
Even after watching this
Its still too confusing
I'm curious to know why your game is in japanese
no hate nor toxicity just curiosity
I've lived in Japan for the last five years, and the game came out a whole month earlier here so that's what I bought and put all my time into. I capture my own video, and there are no language options unfortunately.
@@warriorsdojo6044 There are no language options in the japanese version of the game ?
Thanks for answering though ! Your guides helped me understand so much about the game
My wife said I wasn't allowed to use the my fairy system...
I have a specific question about some skills. I noticed how some fairy skills are blacked out in the quick menu. Like for example XP Master I am able to use, but XP Master + is blacked out, why does that happen?
Maki Ruby Rose i am not sure about this, but I would expect that they do the same thing (the Master+ just do it better I guess) and they just do not stack or aren’t allowed to be stacked... so you just can equip one of them.
For someone who doesn't speak English, this guide is a bit complicated >
Is this Wii U version?
I personally don't like the fairy part of the game..just adds more complication. It's already enough worrying about character level proper weapons and potion usage ..did we really need such a complicated mechanic? Idk
Then ignore it. Level your character, grind weapons, and play normally. You can still do all the levels.
@@kendrajade6688 yeah but it's helpful on some of the harder levels of the game

This "my fairy" thing is such a mess... I wish they had never introduced it in the game. The extra characters and 4+ weapons were enough! This "fairy" system is extremely (and unnecessarily) confusing, it also kind of breaks the game, as it gives those ridiculous abilities that people exploit to cheat, such as "endless focus spirit" and others. They took a great game and ruined it.
Nah the fairies are cool
