Fun fact: The Lords' elemental imbue skill also has a similar effects as the essence skills , making essence skills redundant unless you use an accessory to change their unique action.
@@ardain984 Yeah, see... I forgot exactly who I heard it from, but they said he did a pretty good amount of testing. Essence skills just make attacks stronger, or more accurately bigger, and I have confirmed that the Lord skills do indeed have this effect. Maybe you're thinking of Fiendish Blow, which increases the elemental effects of attacks?
Yeah- another guy making builds, burner, often replaces a character's unique skill with one of the lords', and then gives them an essence ability. Reason beind is that this super buffs both elements when used. I.E. giving Flayn Claude's personal skill and essence of light, then making her a Holy knight. Not only is every single strong attack amped up, but so are her offensive spells which are wind magic.
This is important to know - since the gauge depletes quickly, recharging with strong attacks only can be hard to do. This does help regular combo strings as well - for example, if you charge every regular hit of his C6, the final strong attack should be at level 1 or 2 already
Good breakdown of all the abilities. Sylvain's and Ferdinand's are also my favorite. I like how they handled attack speed in this game, by tying it to one character's unique ability, as well as only triggering once you get the hit count high enough. With Age of Calamity, you'd just throw attack speed seals on a weapon, and forget you had that buff after a while. Here in Three Hopes, it's a much more tangible buff and actually requires some skill to keep it going. That being said, I think the most busted unique is actually Sothis'. There isn't any other character that is easy to just defeat everything with than her. If you load her up with Excalibur, you can get all 3 magic sigils with a single use. And when you throw in the Sublime Creator Sword so everything is a double hit? She cleans HOUSE. With the gatekeeper paralogue, I usually have some difficulty with the house leaders at the end, as once they get to half health they can't be stunned, can't be knocked back, can't be launched in the air and their stun gauge breaks more slowly. But with Sothis, I can defeat them before the text boxes get a chance to show up to say "Edelgard/Dimitri/Claude is even more fired up!" So while she can't be given the merc whistle, I think her unique is lowkey the best in the game.
132 character abilities, in one video, the week I start this game? Have you lost your fucking mind? You have raised the bar for TH-cam gaming edutainment so high for 2023 that it's going to be hard for anyone else I follow to top! You rock, thank you so so much for doing all this hard work. Hope your year kicks ass!
I had to give my Merc whistle to sylvain because I really like his unique ability. It's not just useful but it's also very fun to use. I believe there's that satisfaction from effectively wiping out the field with your very long weapon
absoutely lovely video! thanks you so much for compiling everything. slight error in lysithea's section, where you describe her unique support ability,, the in game menu is about her unique action. but this is just a nit pick tbh your efforts for this are amazing.
While I can agree that Ferdinand, Sylvain, and Lorenz have some of the best unique abilities, my absolute favorite is Jeralt's! Even with just one level of charge can not only expose stun gauges, but also breaks enemy guards (the mechanic that keeps them from flinching when suffering from hits and getting knockback from normal attacks). This makes actually comboing and juggling generals (until they break out at least ) more of a constant without relying on combat arts and magic spells all the time. If you've got Jeralt's merc whistle item, I recommend trying the ability out with classes such as the pegasus/falcon knight. They can actually use their air combos on generals with this! Some of the most fun I had with this game was messing around with Jeralt's ability!
If these abilities are the only things that set characters apart, do they not have personal stats in this game? I’ve seen a tier list that recommends magical classes on typically physical units like Balthus and Hilda, or physical classes on typically magical units like Lindhardt and Lysithia, so is assume that’s the case.
Bit late to the party, but on the off chance you never picked it up or anyone else sees this and has a similar question: They get unique Warrior attacks (ultimate attack, musou attack, whatever you want to call it) when on their "canon" classes and I think they master those classes faster if I recall correctly. That aside they do still have personal stats yes. But weapons that scale off magic are not only more common in general than a standard FE game, you can make most any weapon scale off magic by reforging it which is where the idea of making someone like Lysithea into an Assassin comes from. Give her a magic scaling weapon to still take advantage of her monstrous magic stat combined with the speed and coverage Assassin gives you and she becomes an absolute menace. As for making a physical unit into a magic unit...it's usually just done for fun as there are tomes that scale off of strength in the game as well.
How is this game is it in English dub? Couch split screen and coop? And are there still a lot of clones like the last one or did they fix that issue with either more unique weapons and less clones? Someone who played please tell me. This was a big issue in the recent samurai warriors but it was still fun. No dub is a turn off to but this has it right cause Nintendo Atleast knows people want to understand and not read everything I hate not knowing what they say as fighting only a fluent speaker would understand but let me know about questions thanks.
Its dubbed and the classes define the movesets. Main characters and special characters usually get unique classes and movesets for those unique classes. If you dont want a humch of clones, you bet is to train each unit in different classes and with different skillsets from each class. Each character also have different stats that grow from each level up, which given you can change classes, means you can swap around looking for a niche that unit can fill in the roster. An example is the mortal servant class which uses magic and swords, so if you dont want Dorothea to be a normal mage, instead you can train her down that tree to still have her be magic but be more unique compared to the other magic specialists you have.
It's kind-of disappointing how uncreative the tactical abilities are; there isn't even a "restore [base/ally] health when ordered to defend a [base/ally]," which seems pretty basic. I'll be looking forward to the more detailed guides, when you get to them. Hopefully, you'll also revisit the Strikers series, because it feels a bit overwhelming, especially compared to most warriors games.
Fun fact: The Lords' elemental imbue skill also has a similar effects as the essence skills , making essence skills redundant unless you use an accessory to change their unique action.
Actually, I'm pretty sure they stack with Essence skills. I'm not certain, but I remember reading that being the case

Raphael is also able to charge regular attacks, not just strong attacks

About damn time we got a TH-camr that makes content exclusively about musou games! Thank you for all you do!

Thank you for this, some of these were a tad confusing and now there's an easy guide to all of them. Talk about underrated high-quality content!
Seriously, Thank you for breaking down all the unique abilities, I'm curious to see what characters synergize well with different classes.
I appreciate this video! And your using the Heroes artworks, especially the Summer ones. Summer Leonie is top tier!

Thank you for putting so much work into this video!! It really shows
thanks for your info as usual man, you been making my experience with the nintendo warrior games much better over the years thanks to your videos :)
Playing Golden Wildfire the first time through, I ended up using the whistle for Shamir. I just find hitting the timing so satisfying.
Can’t believe I missed this video! Been waiting for it to release since you announced it lol.
i love how dimitri's art has the second eye photoshopped in so he just looks goofy and cross-eyed lol
Great work! I would love to see your personal tier list of every unique action ability.
Pretty excites for this vídeo! Just yesterday I rewatched some old videos and thought about a release date for the Next. Did not expect It so soon
Holy that's a lot of characters
I had to give my Merc whistle to sylvain because I really like his unique ability. It's not just useful but it's also very fun to use. I believe there's that satisfaction from effectively wiping out the field with your very long weapon
Ommgg I missed this series thank you for this
Thank you! This was really helpful.
Gatekeepers playable. That's fucking amazing lol
I hope you gonna be doing a tier list for Fire Emblem Warriors 3 Hopes
Yooo more fire emblem warriors let’s go
absoutely lovely video! thanks you so much for compiling everything. slight error in lysithea's section, where you describe her unique support ability,, the in game menu is about her unique action. but this is just a nit pick tbh your efforts for this are amazing.
Hapi and Hubert are my faves
Can U Pls Do Full Class Compilations On Other Characters Too?
Thank you for going over the abilities!
still no dlc?
I wasn't expecting Anna to not be playable, that's unfortunate
omg they have gatekeeper now?

132 jesus
We were anticipating dlc characters. . . Shame we will not likely get some due to engage being in the spotlight
@@aced3657 Yeah, I wanted a golden ending type DLC, where you unite the houses under your banner.
Cool
It's kind-of disappointing how uncreative the tactical abilities are; there isn't even a "restore [base/ally] health when ordered to defend a [base/ally]," which seems pretty basic.
