🎮 ABOUT THE GAME 🎮
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance handheld video game console in 2004 for Japan and 2005 in the West. It is the eighth entry in the Fire Emblem series, the second to be released outside Japan, and the third and final title to be developed for the Game Boy Advance after The Binding Blade and its prequel Fire Emblem.
Set in a separate continuity to earlier Fire Emblem titles, The Sacred Stones takes place on the fictional continent of Magvel, which is divided into five nations, each built around a magical stone said to be linked to the imprisonment of an ancient demon. When one of the five nations, the Grado Empire, invades its neighbors and begins destroying the stones, protagonists Eirika and Ephraim of the royal family of Renais set out to gather allies and halt Grado's conquest, while also trying to uncover the reasons for the war. The gameplay is similar to previous Fire Emblem games, focusing on turn-based, tactical movement of units across a grid-based battlefield. Core features of the game include permanent death for characters defeated in battle and support conversations that grant advantages to certain units in battle.

Title: Can You Beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones Only Using Franz? - เกม
![4BANG - NOT LIKE US (REMIX) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HO22cYkha1s/mqdefault.jpg)
Missed the most important advantage the Great Knight has over the Paladin: that silky smooth animation.
Straight facts.
That crit animation though
@@mado-wh4jv imo that goofy ah CRIT animation provides a good contrast for the sprite design that goes so hard.
@@kimitohanahala8674y'all are high as fuck if you think GK has a bad crit animation. It's one of the only ones that make sense. Everyone else does stupid twirls and shit, GK literally just hits you harder than usual and takes aim... which what you'd actually do to inflict more damage.
Spinning around and spinning your weapon is stupid and impractical, but literally aiming and hitting harder is not a bad crit animation, at all.
@@Ken-ru6or I'm not saying it's a bad CRIT animation, it's my favourite CRIT animation in sacred stones and will always have Amilia promote into one. I'm into things that contrasts each other.
Kinda wild to think there are multiple people who can single handledly kill an entire war and satan with a bit of luck
🤣🤣🤣 only a little bit of luck and you can do anything apparently.
Another note about defense in Sacred Stones: the nastiest enemies at the end of the game either ignore your Defense (The Dracozombies) or target Resistance (Lyon and the Gorgons). As such, in the final chapter Defense isn't as important considering how critical it is to have enough resistance.
That is very true!
Yeah. Most PrePromotes have decent Resistance to make up for the other stats and lesser growths. I would use Harken and Marcus but those two are already really solid units as is.
Make a Knoll run, since we've been hinting at it since the Gilliam run
Edit: the amount of effort to decide between Paladin and Great Knight is insane, props
Knoll who? 😳
It was really a tough choice to make so I thought giving my whole reasoning was a good idea glad you enjoyed it 😀
I agree make a knollllll run that be so awesome. I love these videos and the knowledge you put. Its not just this game but others you did so please continue. lol " knoll who" got me btw .
Yeah was thinking Knoll would kick ass... He's even stronger than Ewan as a summoner.
This doesn't look like a Knoll playthrogh and that's what I subscribed for
😂 look it'll happen some day... I just don't know if I have it in me right now lmao.
Garm's +5 speed with that base mt is just too good, i definitely think promoting franz to great knight was the right choice with him having effective 29 speed since he doesn't have any speed penalty cause of his high con when using garm, which is basically 1 point off the speediest of units in fe8.
And yes, your Franz is kinda unlucky with that unlucky str growth, i guess it all went to Vanessa 😂
Yes! I agree Garm is almost too good to pass up!
Vanessa stole it all for sure 😂
that dodged against the last demon king attack lmao! u been blessed by the gods
I gotta have RNJesus on my side once in a while haha😂
Congratulations on the solo run completion! I really love your videos, hope you blow up dude!
Thank you! I'm very happy you enjoy the videos. 😊
I watch these because of how much I liked these characters themselves and not because of how strong I remember them being. Absolutely love it
Yep! These characters are so much better than I remember too! haha absolutely dominant.
@@kratosmvn_ yeah, I love playing sacred stones so much
I didn't expect that Franz perform that solid. But it's nice, Franz was a unit i used in some of my play through.
Franz is a fun unit to use for sure.
My brother in Christ; Seth is not a mounted unit, he is a triple-sided spiked siege dong. Seize maps? Route maps? The enemy isn't attacking him, they're trying to run but this absolute unit has broken their morale so thoroughly they can only see the area he wants them to see and have forgotten they live in an actual world and not some sick game Seth keeps them in for his amusement.
Okay this had me on the floor straight cackling 🤣🤣🤣
"He Is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will"
He truly freaking is!
We need that assassin Colm run. I'm sure his high speed and luck would make him a dodge tank. Also silencer clutches are fun to watch.
Oohhh, that sounds like a ton of fun!
You've done magic, trainee, mounted, and lord; all of which have been fantastic runs. Can't wait for the archer, thief, pegasus knight, and healer runs, and of course I'm most looking forward to a good ol Knoll run. Keep it up, can't wait for the next one!
Thank you! I can't wait for those runs too 🤩
Super happy to see some love for Great Knight Franz. Franz is my favorite Cavalier in the entire franchise, and Great Knight is my personal preferred promote for him.
Glad I could use him in your preferred form for this run :)
I think I'm going to have to try a challenge run of Sacred Stones at this point because I keep on watching yours.
You should it's loads of fun!
You deserve more subs bro, this is some quality stuff
Really appreciate you saying this. It'll come with time and hard work 😀
@@kratosmvn_ anytime man, keep up the good content!
That's literally a random "Can you beat" run, with literally nothing special on it.
@Shiny Corviknight Instead of telling people what they should or shouldn't enjoy, how about you go spend your time more productively and go do something that makes you happy. It might make you a little less bitter about people enjoying things 😊
Amazing video, as always! It's great to see you build up on knowledge as the tier list grows longer
We still need to see a light mage, a dark mage, an archer and a flier, so my bets for the next video are: Artur, Neimi or Vanessa!
Thank you :D
You may be onto something there... 👀
Great work on these! I like how this became your niche like how other content creators do individual pokemon runs. You're getting better at planning these too!
Thank you! I'm glad so many of y'all enjoy it.
Fr, like the Scott Thought's of Fire Emblem at this point
@@vallum12100 Huge shoes to fill haha, but thank you :)
Nicely done, loving this series of videos! Since I'm now making videos on an LTC of FE8 where everyone's an Archer, I kinda want to try and record something like this for Neimi... but I know that you're planning on going through the entire roster, so I don't want to step on your toes because I enjoy this series a lot
Thank you :)
Feel free to go ahead and do the Niemi video! I appreciate you checking in, but the more creators engage with these games in different ways the better for the community so feel free to go right ahead :)
Would love to see a flying unit solo run. Perhaps Tana?
Flying unit soon hopefully :)
Awesome video! Love the new growth rates & stats tables! Super easy to read! :)
Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)
I'd love to see a run where you use the dancer unit. Maybe you can only bring one person along with them. With the stipulation they have to be standing next to each other. It would make a lot of the larger maps rather challenging I feel like
That’s a very interesting idea
Yea i feel like it would be the same premise but probably ranked a little different based off of supporting unit types
That's a very neat idea! Thank you I'll keep it in mind :)
@@kratosmvn_ maybe at the start assign every unit a random number and replace them with Seth
Bro I love these videos! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much :)
recent play through made me really appreciate franz
He can be really hit or miss, but when he is doing good he's hard to not love.
Was expecting a flier, then I remembered the tutorial video you made. Might as well not let that work go to waste
Flyer soon hopefully 👀
Poor Knoll, you should do Knoll for next solo run.
Mmmmhhh... maybe 😈
Great video as always man! I really thought we were gonna get you with the solo Knoll run haha
Joshua next???
Knoll solo will definitely happen at some point... in the history of time... maybe 😈
Can't wait to get to Joshua.
I mean Seth wouldn’t be a challenge it would just be an average Fire Emblem playthrough at this point so props to you for choosing Franz my boi.
Franz the Goat!
Spoilers*****
I really agree with you on the Great Knight, I myself did a Seth and Amelia Solo Run once and it is a hustle to use Vidofnir you cannot One Round the DK it took me over 4 Turns and healing abuse to kill it.
I truly enjoy your content! Hope all your effort pays off and you keep it this way! 💯
Yeah, GK was the play for sure. Vidofnir is shockingly hard to justify imo.
Thank you glad you enjoy the content.
OnlyFranz !!
He's gotta some exclusive Paladin content behind the paywall 🤣
I don't usually comment, but I've been enjoying your content for the last month!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you're enjoying ❤
My man! Loooooving your content! Sacred stones is my favorite of the series! You are already hitting some of my favorite characters but how about a Gerrick run? 👍
Thank you for the kind words! Gerik sounds a ton of fun as he is one of my 2 fav characters of the game.
Second the Joshua comment! Was my favorite character growing up because I love using swordfighters
Joshua is a great character :)
That "OH my God" at 28:35 reminds me of a clip of Frieza in Dragon Ball Z Abridged when admiring Goku abs
Nice run, overall :3 I hope Franz gets into Heroes one day so I can build him to +10, I hope he is a F2P unit
hahahaha that's awesome! Hopefully he finds his way to Heroes soon!
great video! I've been enjoying your content recently. I wanted to say that I agree GK is an underrated class but I think that promoting Franz to a GK when you talked in the beginning about wondering if mounted units could beat the game faster kinda contradicted each other, with the GK having the same movement as a standard infantry.
that said, I do really enjoy your commentary and I'm gonna subscribe to catch more of this series :)
Thank you for subscribing! But you're totally right, but I think that's what makes this video interesting because now this question is still kinda of unanswered and we have other candidates to take up the Paladin arc :)
i love how the "bad" version of Seth is still op
He simply refuses to be denied as the GOAT lmao.
Kyle can hit GK caps :)
I've shared this with you before but to new viewers. Kyle beats Seth in STR and can utilize the GK caps. He gets an extra level to grow in comparison to Ford, and can utilize Steel Sword without detriment, his competition can't. They also lose 2 speed on Javelins whereas he only loses 1. Same with heavier lances, he always loses 1 less.
With Paladin and GK speed only being 24, he can actually hit that and make use of Speedwing if he's struggling to double when you need him to.
He can max out Hand Axe without any speed detriment thanks to his Con advantage to train S Axes, for Garm, the best weapon in the game. Garm has the strongest MT and fixes the low 24 Speed Cap Pallys and GK suffer from.
You do have to work hard to get Axes to S, but Steel Axe and Devil Axe really help speed it up, and he doesn't lose speed as a GK wielding heavy weapons.
Love your Franz analysis here and the breakdown for deciding job promotion. One of your best videos yet!
Kyle hits the cap without breaking a sweat for sure! Now you've somehow gotten me excited for a Kyle run lmao!
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video. ❤
Yooo, franz was always my favorite guy, I have so many franz poster in my bedroom including my franz bedsheets
😂😂😂
These runs are so fun, can't wait to see who you solo with next
Thank you! Stay tuned and you'll find out ;)
Love the vids, one minor feedback-seems confusing to say no convoy but you can use it for weapons. It’s explained that you only get one healing item per map, so the convoy rule seems like it could be removed altogether?
Thank you! You're right I have to find a better way to shorten that rule to make it less confusing. Thanks for the feedback.
Loving the solo runs, very entertaining 😁
Thank you ❤
i love your solo runs videos!
Thank you 😊
wow this game it's been years so much fun
One of my favourite games of all time.
@@kratosmvn_ absolutely and idk if you played it or them but the Advance Wars Franchise was quite good to thx for your vid !
No problem, I do love the Advance Wars Franchise :)
Loved the video like always
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed 😊
This sounds like something I'd do to prove a point, that point being "I don't need Seth, I have Franz!"
Yep, no need for Seth just Franz haha
So, last time I suggested a Knoll video, as a reward for him getting so many dodges. I still want to see that, but now, I also want to request a run for someone widely considered to be the worst unit in the game - Marisa. I actually like her, and think she could probably do it, but I'd like to see the attempt.
Ohhhh the Marisa run sounds like a ton of fun!
Tu devrai avoir plus d'abonnés pour ton contenu incroyable
Merci, j'apprécie beaucoup!
Great Knight definitely the right choice imo, Axes a huge help with dmg and stat caps like you said. Solo run late maps get bogged down anyways if not using a flier!
Yeah, I really think that was the way to go!
I love these runs so much
I'm glad you enjoy them :D
I was gonna say "oh Franz has a lot of boss conversations" but that's just because he's a reskinned Eirika -_- Anyway, congrats on another run ! This one was pretty smooth, I'm curious to see how fast a paladin would go, especially since they can promote so early (or in the case of Seth, is already promoted).
Yeah, I'm also intrigued about Paladin, I have a few candidates whom I think could make good use of the promo ;)
One trick for chapter 15 E is that the left side of the map has much less sand, making traversing it much easier
That's right. That would be my normal route, but I stupidly went for Metis tome haha
If you want to, you can skip 5x by editing the goto chapter at the end of the chapter to 6 instead of 5x with febuilder
That's a pretty smart idea! I do like getting the keys off that chapter thought to be fair.
Day 119 of hoping for Knoll to live
Love Franz, he was my first cav ever! The Demon King fight also had me on the edge, that was nuts
Imagine once we make it out of CH.15 with Knoll :O
It was such a close fight haha.
@@kratosmvn_ also random thought I just had: what do you think about adding a game-over counter to the tier list next to the reset counter?
@@StormEagleCH I prefer not to do that because it can be hard to track in certain runs.
I'm trying to do the solo run using eirika and eiphream, nothing done yet lol.
my Eirika run is super frustating because she isn't fast enough so she has a hard time giving double attacks using a strong sword at the same time giving my enemy better accuracy. i feel your pain lol.
Meanwhile on the other hand Eiphram is pretty easy. He is strong and fast enough to melt every enemy. So proud of him lol
Yeah soloing with Eirika is not easy feat! Hopefully your run goes well :)
I hear Franz pairs well with another well-loved character from Three Houses if you wanna take enemies out.
Can't wait for knoll only
At some point... maybe 😈
Franz is a pretty good unit, but he is very susceptible to being RNG screwed because most of his growths are below 50% and a coin flip or worse of being hit every level, and bad early levels can snowball into being a severe disadvantage.
Ch 6 seems to be where most solo units hit level 20, so it isn't as hard. But you do need to be wary of the fighter with the halberd in the fog. Most horse units will have access to swords which can help with it, but it is something you need to keep in mind of you might take a much heavier hit than you expect.
For Paladin vs Great knight-I like great knight more because of higher stat caps and having access to all 3 weapons, but for most people paladin is probably better because of higher movement. Even with franz being super strength screwed in this run, I still think great knight is the better choice because of being able to use Garm. I honestly think any character that has access to a class that can use axes should give serious consideration to using that class because of access to garm, in addition to how good axes are in general in sacred stones
Sacred weapons-yeah, vidofnir does seem like the worst of the melee sacred weapons, really weird for the sword to have 3 more might than the lance, though the lance seems to be more of a defensive type weapon that makes the wielder more bulky
For the final chapter lyon-you might consider using brave weapons against him like you used the brave sword against Reiv in chapter 19. It looks like the brave axe can be found from a hero in chapter 17, the brave sword from a hero in chapter 19, and the brave lance from an enemy general in chapter 19. It may be worth trying to get those weapons if you're able to since they are very powerful and can be helpful against lyon
at the end-wow, franz getting strength screwed really came to bite you here. If he had 2 more damage (so above the paladin strength cap) he would have been able to 4 shot the demon king instead of needing 5 hits. And since he could easily survive 2 hits from the demon king (only taking 28 damage from demon light) it would have been trivial to kill fomortiis if he hadn't been so strength screwed. At least you got lucky and still managed to kill him on the first try
Yeah, any character that has around 40ish growth rates is bound to get rng screwed more than the average.
It's true that the halberd may be a problem. I gotta keep an eye on that.
It's really hard to find a better legendary weapon than Garm in terms of the physical weapons. I do sometimes use the brave sword or lance on lyon if I have to finish off, and I need 2 hits. I guess I've just never thought putting those attempts in the videos.
A good Franz can compete with Seth and that’s my favorite way to play this game. But a good Franz is hard to come by, even then I still use him a lot
You're totally right :D
would love to see how Neimi would fair, an underrated char imo
Neimi would be quite interesting, only thing is getting out of the early game would be tough.
I think the 1 hour Clear Time difference between Lute and Franz is just chapter 15. Great Knight can only move 1 space before you get the swiftsole, Sage can move 6. And you even picked up junk like the Metis Tome and Body Ring on top of all that. I would consider them the same tier due to that technicality.
Yeah, that's perfectly fair, and probably the reason behind the time lost, but technically that map is designed to be hard for mounted units meaning that losing time there is part of the deal.
Love your videos :D
Thank you very much ❤
I've been wondering if it would be advantageous to put off promoting so that you can make use of the Metis Tome. There's certainly enough experience to go around to getting a character to 20/20, but chapter 15 is quite far into the run and we've certainly seen some characters struggle in it even with having a much earlier promotion. It seems like it might have been viable with Franz and might have helped with Gilliam (I think that was the run I started wondering about it). Would have made that swordslayer pick up unusable against Carlyle in Chapter 14, which could be unfortunate, too.
Watching your Iron Man Highlights, I thought the death squad might be a good pool of candidates for the solo run challenges. But seeing you promote Moulder in that 3rd highlight video immediately made me interested in if Moulder soloing would be possible... of course, he has no offensive potential in his base class, so you'd have to do something extra to modify his run to make him viable (lock in a promoted class option and give the relevant magic ability prior to promotion?); not sure what would be appropriate there, but might be worth pondering.
I've thought about that too. It made the run extremely hard for Eirika, but Franz could have maybe used this to his advantage you're right. I'd have to test it out at some point for sure.
I'm still workshoping how to do healers at the moment. I don't think they'll be possible without some level of shenanigans on my end, but we'll see when we get there.
@@kratosmvn_ Moulder with evil eye as a weapon 😄
@@JackpotJohnno That's a popular idea to make them work.
As soon as I saw the horse I knew the desert was going to be annoying. A FLYING horse would surely have an easy time though... **hint hint**
Honestly the biggest problem with Franz is how his promotions make him and his horse look like they're covered in boogers.
(still waiting on a myrmidon run. crits all day erry day)
A flying horse you say... there are those in this game? 👀👀👀
Crit all day run will be fun.
Would love to see a solo colm or amelia run
Thank you! I will be trying to get to these two as soon as possible. :)
MUCH AWAITED
It is it is! Finally here!
YES! Its finally here!
By popular demand, a month in the making it has arrived haha
@@kratosmvn_ my favorite fe8 unit!
If Lute is SS tier, Franz is fine in S. A high S for sure, and that desert map does screw him.
So Knoll run! Knoll Run!
You're right I think we'll be hard pressed to find people coming close to those 2.
Hey, I was curious, would it be possible to use FEBuilder to change the units you aren't using into flyers, to make it easier to get them out of the way of enemies? For example, changing Franz, Gilliam and Seth into flying units, so that on chapter 1 you could just move them to the top right corner of the map, instead of playing around enemy ranges.
Also, personally I feel like Franz should be in the same tier as Lute - both of their turn counts were very similar, which I feel is overall more important than the time, and Franz did require less resets than Lute. Franz got kinda strength screwed too, which did hurt his performance a little (also worth noting that if he did have the benefit of a reset, and his strength was closer to average, he would have been able to clear maps faster)
I think that would be possible with a little playing around!
That's 100% fair, but I'll wait and see how others do and might eventually do an overall of the list as I learn more and considering each run's context :)
35:40. I just have to say that you don't need to conserve 20 uses of Garm. It's effective damage to all enemies. Its better killer axe. Aaaaaaaaaag
Yeah... I know it's just hard breaking my habits of not letting unique weapons break LOL, but you're right... I should use it more.
Waiting for the day you do a Knoll sufferrun !!
With Knoll, sufferrun is the right way to put it 😂😂😂
I had realized fliers will suck because of the very low stat cap awhile ago so I fear for Ven
That's gonna be a very interesting issue to overcome :)
This blonde bastard always underperforms in my runs and has a tendency to miss when I really need him to land a hit. Seth has to step in and correct his blunders more often than not. He gets benched as soon as Forde and Kyle are available, usually by his older brother. Even Amelia who is universally considered terrible performs better than him in my games. Maybe I'm cursed to never know what it's like to have a good Franz.
I can't wait to see my boy Joshua in one of these. Also any ideas about how to do healer runs? Two things come to my mind. The first one is starting with them already promoted and adjusting their stats to the average. The other is clearing everything with Seth until you get the first guiding ring and let an unarmed unit get hit over and over at a chokepoint or by a boss and heal your way to level 20.
hahahaha I usually tend to have more of a hard time with him than anything else, but this time he came through for me lol.
As for healers, I have a few ideas and people have pitched a lot of things in the comments so I'm still working it out as of now :)
i prefer great knight 100% and am happy you went with it. while the extra move is nice, ive always just liked GK way more.
Great Knight is such a fun class!
I dont know what effort you would need to make, but I'd love a natasha only run. I know she cant damage until she promotes, but she has always been a bishop and an absolute killing machine in all of my playthroughs. If theres a mod that she can use light magic as a cleric maybe
There is some tinkering to be done for sure for a Natasha run, but I'd like to try for sure.
Well that went well. Not really surprising really. I will say paladin probably would have made the final part of the game harder due to it not having Garm as an option. So even with the bad luck in strength it probably worked out for the best there.
Now you just need to do an archer and flier and you will have done pretty much every fully unique type of class. Not counting healers and Myrrh of course. I say this as a lot of the magic users I feel will be pretty similar to each other. Obviously there will be differences, but outside of maybe Artur possibly going Bishop over sage(which I feel probably won't happen) it probably won't be too big a difference.
Yeah Franz was a predictable easy, but I didn't think it be that easy. Garm really is too good haha.
I think at this point Seth is gonna be the only paladin used. Garm is just that useful.
Poor Vadolfnir is barely going to be used I feel. Like maybe the Tana and Vanessa might use it if you go Wyvern knight with them.
Like I am honestly a little surprised the lance has the weakest MT to it.
@@chaossnowkitsune6377 Maybe, but I still have a few ideas when it comes to Paladin :)
Can You Beat Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones Using Only Phantoms?
I think that's impossible there, bud. LMAO
I want to try this now...
@@kratosmvn_ You're welcome in advance
Love franz! Can’t wait for the stream this weekend 😊
Franz is great! Can't wait to stream this weekend ;)
This reminds me of a Jrose solo run. But think i like this more :)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy this :)
I think you should have gone for the Paladin not because of the power or utility but for the entire point of this run that you mentioned at the beginning: It was supposed to compare the mobility vs the stats. Franz only has that movement advantage as a Paladin, and in fact as a Great Knight his Move is even worse than Lute because he is more hindered by terrain. Maybe you could do like a Vanessa run next to keep it more true to the stats vs movement spirit?
Fair points, but he's not the only potential Paladin in the game, there are other options for me to test this with. Also, when I record these voice-over, my goal is to take you along my line of thinking as I was playing/planning. So, I may enter a run with a given mindset, but if that evolves throughout the gameplay, my goal is to convey this change and explain why I had a change of thinking. I don't want these videos to be me forcing one narrative, because I think the beauty of FE has to do with the random elements. No two runs will be the same and adapting your strategy is at times vital to your success and I feel that my videos have to reflect that when appropriate.
I just saw the ending, what if you ranked them based on the numbers multiplied together? So like Turns x Time x Resets? 0 Resets could just be x1 and 1 reset could just be x1.5. They would be ranked higher for lower scores.
That seems like an interesting idea, I'm gonna try out the calc just to see how it works and see if it's viable :)
if you had max strength, you could have killed boss even easier.
four hits to kill, no need to even kite around the minions
Yep, you're totally right :)
Princess Franz of Renais
The best of princesses 👸 🤣
Please, knoll next. He keeps getting done dirty in these runs
Getting done dirty? I don't know what you mean 😈
Meme idea: do a forde solo and make a bunch of Mekka references
😂😂😂
I'm really curious about Franz as a Paladin now, especially compared to his own Great Knight finish. Because of the poor Str growths I'd argue Paladin was objectively better because of the Mov. Garm's higher mt alone wasn't enough to kill the demon king in one less hit... but with even just 2 more str it certainly would've. Unlucky, although first try Fomortiis so I guess you can't complain.
How much of a difference does 2 mov really make? We'll have a comparable run at some point though I imagine Forde will be a Paladin.
Yeah, I ended up working out in the end! But I am still intrigued as to how Paladin would do.
if you're willing to sacrifice the boots and the potential 10 Mov to Great Knight Franz, you get a second axe wielding Seth. Instead of Paladin Franz aka Seth Lite in any playthrough
Knoll is going to give you so much hell for putting up with rnjesus during all these other runs. Im already calling it. 😂😂😂
He's gonna get his revenge... and I'll deserve it haha
I wonder how Myrrh would do. Is it even possible..? Can the Dragonstone be strung out enough to survive the game?
It isn't possible without some level of shenanigans... I believe that only chapter 15 alone would deplete it due to being a route map.
So is "Can you beat the game with only Tana" next?
I don't know about next but in the plans for sure.
8:18 Consider that Franz is still Cavalier.
That is very true. You also gotta consider the promo bonuses.
Neimi Solo would have been amusing
It's gonna happen at some point ;)
I would love to see a Vanessa run
Hopefully, I get around to it soon :)
You really should talk to your Iron Man Vanessa for sapping away all the Str levelups Franz could have gotten in this run. 😂
It is worth noting during the ranking, that even in this still impressive run, it could have been better because you did get Str screwed in this run. 4 str is a massive dropoff. That's the difference between two-rounding and three-rounding Fortmortiis. Having higher damage against Lyon also would have been key, too. There also might have been times during the playthrough I couldn't see (because a lot of the game was cut out for the sake of video length) where Franz could've one-rounded enemies had he had the 4 extra strength.
Perhaps maybe doing a second playthrough would've most certainly yielded better results. But then that would probably set a precedent for the rest of the series (and may need a re-evaluation of the other characters before him that didn't get the benefit of a second run), so up to you if you decide to entertain the idea.
Vanessa hogging all the strength, but it's okay if she can win me the ironman lmao
Yeah, it's hard to gage for sure, but I may end up later revisiting some runs when we have more under our belt. But that's for future me to figure out lol
@@kratosmvn_ Yeah, I think it's certainly something to think about later. This run felt like an extreme outlier and could very well benefit from a second playthrough as this type of outlier shouldn't really happen very often. Again, something to ponder for Future Kratos. :P
The advantage we have with this one, in my opinion, is that we have 4 other potential Paladin to try something similar with.
I still say GK is the better promote solely due to Garm. You cant resist or block stone, you need speed, skill, or luck. Since Garm is the only weapon that does this its the better defensive weapon.
Its also the better offensive weapon as its the only sacred weapon that increases your offensive stats like hit chance and chance to double.
I'm wondering how Sophia would do now..
Mhhh, in this game I'm not so sure haha
This, my friends, is why Franz is THE GOAT
Honestly, I was hoping Vanessa was the next unit for this. Oh well, Franz is good, but I really want to see my girl bend the game over her knee.
Vanessa will have her time to shine soon enough don't worry :)
@@kratosmvn_ Okay, Cool. Also, I think Moulder, Natasha, and L'arachel will be impossible as they start as just healers. Even though I love Natasha almost as much as I love Vanessa, I don't see how a Mend is gonna solo the game.
@@michaelbainbridge7335 Agreed, I'll have to do some sort of manipulation to make those happen, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Because of movement difficulties for his class you should just put him #1, Franks its the silent VIP behind SETH that its on his own category called SETH :o)
the axe is the best upside of great knight class , fuck 1 more movement
Yeah, but sometimes speed is key. The axe is such a big upside thought because Garm is just that good!
