Dancers are so good, they can make Sophia miss twice per turn instead of once.
So can speedwings :p
Maybe you shouldn't be so salty about it.
Sophia is the Devil Axe incarnate.
@@DaniDoyle they stack so, it can make Sophia miss 4x.
@@Nitosa too bad fe6 doesn't have a hero tome. I'd love to see Sophia miss 8 times
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx I'm not salty. I Love using Sophia and missing is part of the experience.
Can't thank Mekkah and Eecaruz enough for their support through this project, it has been an absolute pleasure to work on this! Hope you all enjoy this episode of Pitfalls!
Fantastic editing! It makes the already phenomenal series really come alive
Your edits were funny and really made the video more engaging. Great work!
I was genuinely watching this and wondering who did the editing, since it was so amazing and fun. I hope to see more of your editing work in the future!
OMG, dancers are so good, it really feels crippling when you don't have access to them in some missions.
I think I have the need for Dancers if I'm going to traverse a very uneven terrain in some specific romhacks or vanilla FE.
YES! Another entry in the Pitfall series!
Can't wait to see the Jaffar WAIFU video in 2023!
(Btw congrats to DavisG, very few people actually know what it takes to edit and that was some AMAZING editing!! :) )
Dieck is better ...

dancers' frailty is only an issue if they're getting hit, which you can almost always prevent through strategizing your turn properly
Or in Ninian case, you can let her block the path and watch the ennemies repeatedly failing to hit her.
Well, maybe not. But in the GBA games it's far less of an issue.
yeah but that req actualy thinking about your moves
That's kinda the point, beginners are not good at doing that at all. And in some games even non beginners are(games whit ambush spawn that aren't very telegraphed for example).
Except in 3 houses.
If you make your Dancer someone tanky, like Sylvain or something, they not only don't need to be protected, but it opens up whole new worlds of body blocking with your Dancer while giving extra turns to the people behind them, getting frail units out of tricky situations, or just generally being a full front line support package.
Or you can buy a bunch of Robes in FE 6 for Larum to have a 60 HP Dancer
I like how when you were talking about Sword Avo +20, you showed dancer Dorothea only getting hit 😏
Great video overall, really sums up the value of dancers for all kinds of play.
"Warp Staff" I wasn't expecting it.
Also love the use of Mirror B's theme.
There was one time I lost my dancer in FE6. After that I decided never again.
Ah yes...
Indeed.
The Most Powerful Staff known to every Elitists, Casuals, and Normies in All of Fire Emblem!
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx sorry but even if warp staff is a meme any staff will surpass FE3 again staff.
@@alejandro_rodriguez_99
Even if the Warp/Rescue Staff is only second to the Again Staff, its availability in any game is obviously beyond compare.
And also, you needed a Warp Staff in order to trivialize GBA maps.
@@alejandro_rodriguez_99
The Again Staff isn't available in GBA FE romhacks unless someone was able to implement it.
And again, Warp Staff is still the Most Powerful Staff known to every Elitists, Casuals, and Normies alike no matter what.
As a wise mann once said:
"Let us Dance, gentlemen! Dance like no one's shooting at us"
"I will dance forever and I will never die!"

Just going to put something out here. For Conquest, you're best of planning a dancer's action first but not necessarily executing it first. Fates is a game where reliability is king. If you fuck up one thing, you can and WILL eat shit for it. I have hundreds of hours in Fates and even I occasionally misinput an end turn or miss an attack that I really needed to hit. Planning out who you WANT Azura to sing for is usually a great idea! PLEASE do that. However, if you're not doing the busted ass 3 dances a turn strats, I'd definitely recommend waiting on actually having her sing for someone until your actions are all done. A more important situation might arise and you might need to sing for Peri again so she can kill someone or sing for Camilla so she can actually take out that Ninja on Ch 10 that someone missed their attack on.
Yeah, I think this applies to other games as well. Dancing itself is 100% reliable so there is no reason to do it early unless you need to for positioning reasons. Better off checking what else is going to happen.
@@Mekkkah Low key I find myself resenting Azura sometimes because it's so easy to misinput who you dance in fates lmao
It's always been so weird to me that people don't use Dancers. I'm not some FE genius, and I've been using them fairly consistently since I discovered the series. I've used them more consistently through the endgame of the newer games since I've learned much more about using them right, but I always at least tried them.
Yeah, they always have a permanent spot in your team, due to how good they are. (And in the GBA games they can become pretty good Avoid Tank once leveled up. Which is extremely easy to do if you're not worried about turn count)
I use them 90% of the time but I'll admit I find myself forgetting to field Tethys, Xane, and Olivia when I play their games.
@@cartooncritic7045 bruh I'm playing awakening right now and I usually never field olivia, my sumiaxFredrick cynthia is hella op as a general, got galeforce on her and sumia which means Pegasus movement and 3 attacks, don't need dancers when thick armor girl doesn't take damage abd absolutely obliterates enemies
Here's the thing. Dancers are wonderful when you know a map or the game plays fair. But if you're playing something like FE6 or Awakening and you don't know where or when the same turn moving reinforcements are coming, they are target number one to die. That is honestly their true down side.
@@OnlineVideoSurfer uuu was waiting for someone to bring it up, they are also hella risky in survive maps especially with wyvern riders, reinforcement and such. In those cases you might wanna have an extra healer or unit to protect the squishy guys in the middle of your barricade
Yo DavisG's editing is top notch. It's that good.
On a related note, you're 100% spot on that it's a common pitfall to give the dancer class to someone you're not really gonna use as one just for the sake of Sword Avoid +, which is cool but also wastes the entire point of a Dancer like you said.
Yee.
The real move is to give it to Sylvain so he can dance and tank at the same time.
I think dancers are like rescue dropping, it’s super easy to ignore but when you learn how to utilize them properly, it’s super satisfying
I wasn't aware fire emblem pitfalls was still a thing.
Also your editing and overall quality has improved so much. I haven't watched for a while, so the difference is massive
Kaga has a solution to this in the second vestaria saga game by giving you an armor knight dancer lord (bear with me none of this is an exaggeration), a book that can give anyone the refresher skill, a healer with a prf dance staff, buyable dance staves, and 2 more dancers, one of which is mounted and the other is an FE4 dancer. You can't get away from dancers if you tried.
An FE4 dancer on top of all that? Holy sh!t that's beyond insane. i'll check it out
When it comes to Fire Emblem Fates I reclass Azura into a Witch until she learns Warp and then reclass her back into a Songstress. Warp allows her to move to the side of any one of yours units no matter how far away they are and Sing to them on the same turn. This allows me the freedom that I don't have to plan my turns around her as she now has effectively infinite movement and it can be beneficial as it allows me to see what the final enemy movement range will be before I move her.
In conquest, I abuse of the sing system to make Azura my best unit (making her lvl 21 on the Mozu map, before the terrible chapter 10) if you make her learn warp, and the skill that make her play once more when she kill somebody, she kills (lvl 21 you remember?) after that, she wrap, and she make somebody play once more. And if she even have the capacity to clone (from ninjas) her clone can also kill somebody.....
Recently I discovered that you can make the level up abuse on the before "the choice" making her high level on all your playthrough after that. She can be you killing machine
Update: after that, if you buy a ton of staff, you can use your lvl 21 azura hurt by a boss to lvling your healers...even Corrin/Kamui if you chose a healer class to him... lvl Corrin to lvl 20 and make it witch or dark pegasus, and enjoy...
To anyone who's reading this, while warp Azura is a very fun build to run, you only unlock warp at level 25, which is usually achieved around the 2/3rd mark through the game. If you instantly turn Azura into a witch, you'll lose out on your Songstress for the first 2/3rds of the game, and there are better options in every route to use the Witch's Mark. If you really want a warping dancer, it's best advised to wait until level 22 to do so, so that you can grab Warp in as few levels as possible, minimizing the downtime without a Songstress.
I’m still playing through all the games currently, and I always used to ignore the dancers, but I’m playing through Sacred Stones now and I’m using Tethys. She’s really been helping me, and I’m going to try using these tips, so thank you Mekkah!
Honestly i used to do the same thing but now it's like i can't play without a dancer lol it's just so good, specially when you don't have more than 2 staff users
@@armourslayer8942 I am enjoying it a lot, I went Ephraim route on hard mode and it’s still pretty easy in general but the chapter I’m on currently (16) is actually pretty challenging which I’m appreciating. I’ve had to reset three times already which is more than what I’ve had to do for most of them. Also I’m liking the story better than 6 and 7’s although that’s not a very high bar to pass
@@wildfiresnap Tethys is not even as good as most other dancers in the series, so those from FE4, FE10 and FE14 will help even more.
@@spongbobsquarepants3922 good thing I haven’t gotten to any of those games yet, will be sure to make full use of them
She's great support for Gerik. Fire + thunder affinity gaming.
I think one addition is that using mobility-boosters on the dancer in Genealogy of the Holy War is actually a pretty good idea. Rescue-dropping and pair-up don't exist, four-way dancing is pretty crazy, and Canto makes it a lot easier to position your dancer properly. I've even seen people argue that inability to inherit movement-boosters is the main reason Lene is preferable to Laylea. Sigurd/Seliph are really the only other characters I think of as potentially needing the Leg Ring more, and nobody uses the Knight Ring as well as a dancer.
The deal with Lene is that if you're trying to make turn counts for ranking or meeting certain objectives, putting the Leg Ring on Seliph is insanely useful, especially if you do a Ch. 6 Seliph-Solo with Paragon.
Even after you get Lene, Seliph needs to make a lot of detours in gen 2. In Ch 7, you can have Seliph capture Leonster for bonus 1000g for everyone. Ch 9, Seliph needs to seize Luthecia to grab Coirpre then rush back to Kapathogia THEN catch back up to the army at Grutia. Ch 10, Seliph has to make a detour to Rados and catch back up for Miletos, then run after Palmark to grab Tyrfing, then back again to seize Chalphy. And then in Ch 10, you need Seliph to seize Edda, catch up to Dozel, quickly seize Friege to delete Hilda and her army, then run after Velthomer to un-mind-control Julia.
I found it easier to keep the Leg Ring on Seliph to make those turn counts, though Leg Ring on Lene does open up options for Leif to more effectively use Rescue to make those moves less time-consuming, and makes the army as a whole much stronger.
I like Leg/Knight Ring dancer a lot in FE4. There are also maps where I put Celerity on RD Reyson.
@@zer0vision891 Some of these detours can be addressed by Return-Warp shenanigans. Like, after Seliph seizes Kapathogia, have Fee/Leif/Nanna Return him, then have Julia/Lana in the home Castle warp him over to Luthecia. A similar volley can be used to get Seliph from Rados back to Chronos in an instant. Still, turns saved in reaching Leonster Castle or getting to Pallmark are to this strategy's credit.
Fantastic pitfalls video! I was able to share this with some less experienced players who had a lot of trouble, and they found this really helpful.
I only have a few minor clarifications related to 3H dancing:
- 14 charm is the benchmark for guaranteeing winning the dancing competition. So anyone who's picking a unit with exactly 13 charm should know that it's possible to lose.
- Units learn Movement+1 at A+ Riding, not S, but your point still stands - it's a high non-weapon skill rank that students aren't reaching until lategame without excessive grinding
- Dancer Flayn effectively costs you your most convenient Rescue caster, and a might-boosting Byleth/Seteth adjutant backpack. She can still be convenient because players will not have invested much into her by the dancing competition, and her base charm guarantees a win, but players should be aware of that opportunity cost.
Always good to see a new pitfalls episode!
Having the Miror B. themes from both games is such a great addition
Now I’m informed about my dancers while grooving at the same time, this was a fun video
I love using dancers in all my runs. The concept of having a refresher unit that can do anything but is very frail is cool. And it feels really badass to pull off a sick dance strat that couldn't be done without a dancer. The last time I can remember that I actively chose not to use a dancer was when I first started playing FE a long time ago. But the last time I was forced to not use a dancer was when I played Crimson Flower for the very first time and made Flayn my dancer. Oh boy, that was a rough run.
Yeah even at there weakest, dancer are going be really useful. Anything that increased a unit movement and giving a extra mini turn is going be amazing if used properly.
A Growth Unit is terrible if they can't level up enough to become reliable.
A Dancer is a good utility even if their own base stats are bad.
Just make sure they have enough HP, Res, and Def in order for them to tank a Siege Weapon.
Before the video starts, two things are really important
1 being able to heal people is extremely important in surviving and winning
2 dancers can let you do the following: heal a second time, kill another enemy, rescue chain more efficiently, block off chokepoints, and so much more.
It’s like getting two turns before the enemy gets 1
The second I pull into the dairy queen parking lot new Mekkah video is here, it’s fate
I really like the editing and audiovisual design of this video. It's great editing!
This series has come so far in quality, looks and sounds a lot better than older episodes
really nicely done video, packed full of info with amazing production. great job everyone who worked on it
so much miror b. music in this video, I love it
I have really loved using Yuri as my dancer in FE3H, as the combo of sword avoid +20, while having been raised as a sword user (especially trying to go into his Trickster class, which needs Thief certification) and his affinity towards speed builds makes him not only a great dodge tank, but a dancer you don't need to babysit all the time. He's then able to be treated like a combat unit, with the boon of also being able to boost your units with a second move option, and even be a healer in a pinch with his Recovery at C, and the ability to use Silence as well. It was especially helpful in Maddening playthroughs with and without NG+. I really think Three Houses did the best upgrade to dancer we've seen in a long time, and I hope they continue with that design as a base level for future FE games.
Thanks to Dance Master Mekkah's instructional video, my dancing cam now turn things from gray to blue. Thanks Mekkah!
I mean, I feel like using dancers is just a matter of adjusting strategies. It can be pretty easy to get your dancer into a safe space (or make them a safe place) if you are thinking about it. Often times, even with your dancers low movement stat you'll often catch up by spending time attack enemies - not to mention, you don't have to use your unites full movement stat every move - moving a cavalier 2 steps forward to place them at the edge of your dancers range effectively gives the cav 9 move.
I love the general vibe of the video, especially how you integrated the music, keep it up! I loved it!
6:03 i see you are a man of culture, the miror b tracks are crazy bangers
I was subscribed to your channel since before you hit even 8000 subscribers! I just wanted to say that the editing and quality of your videos has come so far, yet you retain your charming self, keep up the good work lad!
Also you recommedn Flayn as your dancer, which is an absolutely correct take and now I like you evne more.
Yet another stunningly edited and educatory entry in the pitfalls series! shoutouts to the DavisG for that. Even as someone who uses dancers whenever the opportunity presents itself, watching this video has actually helped out a lot for any future endeavors I may take into the fire emblem series and also shows things that any player regardless of skill level can learn from. Great video Mekkah!
Thank God. I thought I was crazy in my belief that Dancer might just be a top tier 3H class. Too many people thinking that sword avoid 20 > Dancer when avoid builds are vastly overrated
Olivia gets both myrmidon and pegasus knight as her secondary classes, she's more then capable of defending herself. Also dancer in 3 houses gets sword avoid which makes it a highly desirable class for a lot of units.
0:56 - YOU'RE FORGETTING SOMEONE, MEKKAH. ONLY THE BEST CHARACTER IN TLP. EVEN BETTER THAN KEVIN AND CIA AND LIQU... well, maybe not Liquid, no, even better than Liquid!
ucandoit
Bro this editing is GODLY. I love the Mekka Executor moving and all. The music choices is great too
I used to not use my dancers, then I started using them. I did a mounted units only run a while ago, and I really noticed the lack of a dancer despite the fact that I was using literally all fast mounted units. I love all the utility that only dancers can provide.
Thanks! I can't believe I misse this video for almost a whole year.
Thank you, Mekkah and the comments section. I am a long time FE player, been playing since FE7's release but I've always found myself either playing poorly around my dancer or benching them altogether in some games/runs. I deeply appreciate all the tips and tricks you and everyone below is sharing!
Awakening was my first FE, when I got Olivia I immediately benched her because I didn’t know how dancers worked and just thought “Eh, I have enough sword users in the group, don’t need another”.
Fantastic video, very well put together 👌
I honestly use dancers more as I grew up and played more fire emblem. Aside azura and Olivia being broken as dancers who can actually defend themselves or battle themselves then dance with galeforth. The other ones still make excellent support especially if they give buffs to the unit or for Farming arena faster.
Eliwoods game has the dragon siblings which were probably my favorite dancers not counting Olivia and azura for thier tankiness and easy to level exp so they can not die to a single hit.
Forgot to mention Faye in echoes. She is incredible and the best healer dancer etc at a very low level being the only female villager so she gets the villager bonus on top of her reclass to her eventually middle level making her the best in the game. Man I like her so much
also galeforce dancer is so stupid, but busted and fun
@@starmaker75 yeah. Olivia combined with the dlc buff and galeforth to beat an enemy then dance to bring back another unit giving you 4 turns with 2 units with galeforth but 3 with the stronger one.
Azura having a lance was great as she can be your support for Corrin If you want class advantage but honestly axe dancer would be better.
Faye meanwhile is a healer so she has range and can dance while she is the villager gives her probably the best defense and offense as well as a support. That's broken.
@@ivanbluecool the only problem i find with oliva is that her son inigo can struggle at first due to her low base stats, but even then she the best non robin marriage candidate for chrom.
@@starmaker75 well chrom would offset her low stats for the kids but it's still better to wait until Olivia has galeforth to get inigo so I useally don't pair them up.
Azura is fine early or late game for kids as she can be farmed to max level in the prologue fighting the hood guy so she comes out broken if you plan it out.
Faye I like she goes from fighter to support as you get a tanky dancer and that's probably the best to have.
Another Great Pitfalls Episode!
sounds quality and edited so good mekkah ooooooooo
As always another great video Mekkah. Thanks for all the hard work
1:50 Implying you can't have a dancer and two healers.
Listen, if there's perma death, I will just make sure to be extra ready.
thanks now i want to play colloseum again
Dat Lalum edit. There's only so much info to talk strategy, feels good to break down important icons-#'s like MOV on screen to inform while entertaining.
Welcome back Pitfalls
I didn't use my dancer in my only run of Awakening and my first run of FE7, but then I saw Mekkah show how great dancers were in Battle Before Dawn and have always used dancers since.
Really liked the editing of the video
I think there's only one type of situation where I might be tempted to not use a refresher and if it's I absolutely need to spread out resources. IMHO, the biggest hindrance to the refresher isn't that they have a weak Enemy Phase or that they're vulnerable. Their biggest drawback is that they can't be in two places at once. As such, the options for units you can refresh are limited to the units that are close to your refresher.
However, as you mentioned, there are ways around this, like Rescue dropping, Rescue magic, or Pair Up. But these scenarios involve wasting other unit turns to get your refresher in position and this implies that you're focusing your refresher on your strongest units. If you need multiple strong units spread out, it's very difficult to leverage your refresher in all locations.
That being said, I don't think I've ever encountered a situation where I needed this. I do like to spread out to clear chapters quicker, but I can't remember an instance where I wanted to spread out to the point where I needed a unit that my refresher couldn't otherwise substitute with the refresher just as well if not better (because they're refreshing a higher priority deployment unit). Healers are the most likely unit type I might find more difficult to spread out, but that's where consumable healing items come into play. So if a spread out combat unit can self-sustain on Player Phase, I don't need to bother deploying a healer with them anyway.
Using a refresher when you are supposed to spread your units across the map is just a tad bit risky though.
Unless you're able to regroup your own army in a single destination or else your own army will become splintered and get overwhelmed when divided into 2 groups.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx I'm not sure I follow. More often than not, I tend to split up my units into multiple groups so that I can clear multiple objectives concurrently. The refresher just tends to stick to one group unless I have the means the the need to have them travel around quickly. I don't get overwhelmed when I do this because I know what I'm sending my units into and manage enemy phases accordingly.
@@marcusmajarra
I see.
I've had some trouble managing the 2 groups because Eligor's Spear is kinda hard and I'm also being punished for not being able to find a way to level up my units considerably.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx I can't say I have much experience with FE hacks. As far as standard FE games go, there's room for splitting up and I find it very satisfying to do so. Over the years, I've lost all patience for turtling.
This video was very well produced good work.
This is some mega production. Nice information too!
A technique I've been using with dancers lately (FE7, but this should work in most of the series) Is as a makeshift ultra-long range safe attack.
Send a mounted unit into a dangerous situation to pick off an important enemy (Pegasus rider into a squad of archers.)
Move dancer in to refresh.
Pick dancer up with that unit, and retreat to a safe location, in movement range of another unit.
Use another unit to unload the dancer (even better if it's another mounted unit so it can continue moving after unloading.)
It takes 3 units to execute a single attack in this manner, but keeps all units safe, and I find I frequently have a spare unit towards the back that isn't able to do much important besides unload the dancer anyway.
Wow! Mekkah's serotonin inducing voice with awesome content and nice edititing. Thanks for the video.
In 3 houses, even if you don't use DLC items, you can give the Rhea's move boost and train horse use of you dancer to get another move +1
AAAAAAAY PITFALLS IS BACK!!!!!!
And above all else, they are just so much fun to use
My favorite dancer is Olivia because she gets astra and got a million str growths, the best is Sylvie because she refreshes FOUR FUCKING PEOPLE goes crazy with horse emblem and helps footies actually be used in the chapter
azura is very fun when you give her warp from being a witch and switching back to songstress
the music choices are so good
Yo, Mekkah, it's been a while since I've seen one of your videos.
The production quality has SKYROCKETED.
I'm not exaggerating, man. These look super good.
Massive thumbs up. And very interesting video.
Just benched my azure in my conquest lunatic Ironman and then I get a notification for this. Mekkah works in mysterious ways 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Buffzura is top-tier in every route though
@Velvet Butterfly I know she’s a god-tier unit, but azure is smelly and sings too much
Your editor is very good mekkah!
editing did not need to be so fucking good dude. you really outdid yourself
Nice editing my dude
I use them or not depending on what I'm feeling in the run. I see their value, always have, but just like warp or any number of other tools in Fire Emblem, you don't need them to beat the game and sometimes I just like mixing it up. I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't enjoy playing Fire Emblem optimally every single run.
This isn't me saying dancers aren't great though. If you *are* interested in playing efficiently and optimally all the time, yes, use your dancer.
Good shit mekkah’s editor, very breezy and easy to watch
This was awesome
I miss the freestyle dance teacher. she taught me a lot
your editor is crazy good!!!
15:02 It's actually A+ riding instead of S to get movement +1, but Mekkah's point still stands either way
Excellent Video. Great Editing :)
Editing is on point.
Sorry babe I can't come over right now, new Fire Emblem Pitfalls just dropped
For FE3H I made Felix my dancer, which meant I was able to take advantage of sword avoid to use him as a dancer without being super concerned if he ended up in range of an enemy or two. Three Houses dancers do really struggle with the left behind thing, though, as the option to have another unit pick up and carry a unit is mostly limited to the Rescue spell, which is a limited resource you may wanna use elsewhere. There’s also the option to take advantage of Reposition shenanigans, but that requires committing combat art slots just to moving your dancer 2 spaces forward; it’s fun, but maybe not efficient. Lastly there is the Stride gambit, which does help a bit, but you wanna use that when your team is already pretty grouped up to maximize it’s effectiveness, meaning the dancer was probably already in a place where they could dance when you used it. It’s less often a way to allow your dancer to catch up and more a way to keep them level with the rest of the team for one round.
Even when I first started out playing fire Emblem even I never ditched any dancer because there’s always a situation when I would need their utility if I’m in trouble. Even outside of that, they’re fantastic for movement and if you position well, they don’t have to see any combat dangers.
Dancers are generally good emergency safety nets that can open a lot of different strategies that wouldn’t be possible if there’s no dancer.
Also dancers are very satisfying to use for speedrun clears and LTC runs when properly planned.
It’s still cool to see this video even still Mekkah.
6:00
Holy shit I'm dying. Such a perfect meme.
I love that you made this Mekkah. Honestly, Dancers are one of the top units in FE imo. As Mekkah says, they are effectively clones of your best units or wild cards, used for whatever you need. They have by far the most versatility and WILL save you from sticky situations when used properly. They're also typically dodge tanks, so they can even sometimes lure enemies will low hit rates
Really informative video and all, but like, can we talk about the absolute god tier editing on this video?
Mekkah finally using that dance for the like button bit, it's been a long time coming.
Yet again, I could listen to this man talk about anything. Didn't say anything I didn't already know, but loved every minute of it anyway.
I love dancers because the idea of a bloodbath of a battle occurring and someone just boogin all night long' in the middle of it while their some of their allies die or are fighting to the death is just way too funny for me
Commenting for the algorithm, great video!
Future FE games should really add a direct master class evolution for dancers. One that may take ages to promote into for obvious reasons but with huge boosts to bases and growths that make it worth the effort. And I'm talking like Magikarp to Gyarados level boosts here.
BWAHAHAHAHA that Olivia clip at 0:40
I RECOGNIZE THAT
Now that we're falling into pitfalls again, I hope we can see the return of everyone's favorite acronym-themed unit analysis series!
(FE11 Wolf/Sedgar are an underrated WAIFU duo)
Honestly, I can't call them underrated. I think just about every casual player knows how crazy they are.
@@misterbadguy7325 I just mean it in the sense that they're interesting units that don't get talked about a ton. Probably not good enough for a video but they happened to come to mind.
Super nice video. I honestly don't think I would disagree with anything. Planning out dancer moves and carrying them to where they can be useful is basically the jist of them. Keep it up.
Dude i would not have made it through blazing/binding blade if it werent for ninian/nils and elffin.
The advice for Three Houses dancers, to make a non-combat unit a dancer because they'll mostly be dancing, is fine and all, but the fact that they *can* do much more than just dance makes using them even more of a no-brainer. They can use every weapon, as all classes can, but can also use any magic, so they could potentially be useful for offensive magic or as an additional healer. It's possibly not the optimal choice for Maddening, but even on Hard having a dancer with some combat ability or healing ability can still be useful I think
I think physic/meteor provide some nice boons like I said in the video, but I think that 99% of the cases on any difficulty, if your dancer is attacking someone, it could've been someone else getting danced and then they simply attack again.
@@Mekkkah Sure, if you're able to dance, you should dance, but it's not always possible, so having other options is always good. Also, I think it's good for people on the fence about dancers in Three Houses to realize that you can still use them for other things as well as have them dance.
I love the dancers so much, they are the closest thing to a “strategist” type unit with the extra turns and buffing.
I remember when I was really into Awakening grinding, I would reclass Olivia into a Dark Flier (Galeforce), then Swordmaster (Astra + Swordfaire), then Assassin (Lethality), and then back to Dancer. I loved making her into a killing machine who could murder a guy, then use her Galeforce-provided second turn to dance for another unit (especially another Galeforce-user who had already moved twice XD). Completely redundant, but so much fun.
12:40 lol the little reyson
Nice Zoran footage. It's pretty cool to see some smaller creators get some chine in this video.
Azura is my favorite dancer, mostly because I find her using a pokey stick really funny.
Playing fe without dancers just seems wrong to me now. Give them some boots to eat and suddenly you have so much more room for strategy
1:50 Now my coffee's all over the screen
Seeing Zephiel hurts. My HHM ironman was going so well. I'm already plotting how to get to Zephiel quicker next time. Ninian is important to it.
