Something tells me that BLAZINGKNIGHT is going to SOMEHOW pick the worst units in 3 Houses and SOMEHOW is going to beat all kind of ass with them too, and that without even realizing it.
@@fedechan6325 In Awakening it's Severa. Heroes in Fates have decent Strength, Skill, Speed and Defense growths. In BlazingKnight's captured footage, he promoted Selena into a Bow Knight, which has MUCH worse strength. I think it was the top 10 overrated FE units video.
10: I either use Louise or no one at all in fe7 9: I always choose Sonya wish she had more supports 8: I actually like him especially support him with his brothers 7: I just can't care about this character sorry 6: one of the interesting character to me in Fe 6 but that lvl *shivers* 5: well I never really care for dark mages but his story progression is wow 4: I thank Ghast for "introducing" me to this character 3: I love this girl and Fjorm is life 2: One of the few trainee I always use 1: yea she bad with memes but I still use her
oh, Amelia... I remember my first time training her. Went for a Cavalier, she decided to be a Myrmidon instead (having 6 strength and capped speed at level 10 cavaliar...)
I too prefer characterization over utility and always use Rolf, Selena(Conquest), Odin, Sonya, Lucia, Lilina, and Nino despite that they’re bad Units because I enjoy these characters
I only did "Optimal" runs once per game, but I still don't like using several of those units personally (Pent and Frederick in particular) and as soon as I finish those runs I restart and use any and all exploits for EXP known to raise the units I particularly like using (Nino, Zeiss, Charlotte, Sanaki, The Dawn Brigade (namely Edward) and Ewan just to name a few) while I admit "Optimal" runs CAN be fulfilling, the elitists take that to heart, and it turns me away from those runs more and more.
This was a really fun video to watch, I especially love the jokes included for each character that appeared on the list. I am certainly looking forward to the next video describing characters that maybe proficient in combat but woeful as a person off the battlefield. I may not be able share the same experiences with a majority of the characters on the list but in regards to Charlotte; I will ALWAYS put her alongside her fellow Nohrian soldiers when I play through Conquest no matter what because she deserves her time to shine.
Once again an amazing video that I'm thankful I got the chance to voice Oliver for. Some of my favorite bad units who I think have good character are Lute, Fir, Matthew, Sanaki as well, and Nephenee. Had to stop there or I could have made an entire army out of the characters.
This was a great vid, and I agree with the picks you have. I am definitely glad that you finally acknowledge that Owain DID actually grow as Odin, since despite how you once thought that he was even more obnoxious than before, he shows a more of a "big brother" persona in regards to Laslow and Selena, being able to comfort them and help them get back up when they are starting to feel doubtful or upset. One thing I have to come to terms with is that I'm not that good of a Fire Emblem player, being too used to wanting to give every unit a chance and get stronger, rather than stick to objectively good units or not even having a focus on investing in that one character I want to improve, and thus leads me to not strategize as effectively and even need to rely on grinding to get good. I hope to improve this of myself and become a better player in the future. I am hoping to utilize minimal grinding.
Honestly i love making her a general to complement the other knight(who i make a general as well). Shes fast as fuck and can dodge a lot of enemies attacks. She helps a lot in the fog of war map with the damn bishop.
This is such a nice topic to cover. I usually use Sonya as well! Gotta give my baby, Genny some support love. I value character as well. I love Charlotte to death, even tho she’s a statistically bad unit. I use characters that I enjoy.
making her only support a mutually exclusive unit was a terrible idea. if you recruit deen (like i usually do), genny is left with no supports. jesse has at least saber to fall back on
I usually end up with so many fucking mercenaries I don't have enough swords for another one... plus, she's sexy. Not the noblest of reasons, but still-
Outside of the ones you listed, my favorite bad unit is Matthew. For Matthew, sure, Jaffar and Legault have their ties to Nergal and the Black Fang to make them interesting, but Matthew is someone who no one would expect to be a government spy, and he has personal reasons for fighting the Black Fang (as of their arrival to the Dread Isle). His stats aren't much to write home about, but I can't help putting him out there and letting him dodge-tank everything.
You putting Amelia at NO. 1 made me happy because of my last run. It featured a certain Hyper Recruit tearing through the Demon King's armies like a hot Seth through butter
27:40 WOW WOW WOW! WHAT IS MY BOY DONNY DOING HERE? Each time I put him on the field I feel like I put motherfucking GILGAMESH on the field. Yes, he requires attention and time to grind his level… but me and my friends put the time of growing him to level 30 then second seal him to Merc and, after he hits level 20, put him as a hero. Hell, putting him as a hero is literally OVERKILL with him hitting Sol with each of his attacks… WHILE HIS LIFE IS FULL! Actually watch the segment: Oh…
15:20 ... bro, Astore and Treck are 2 of my favorite characters in fe6. Treck has some of the funniest supports in the game and Astore’s support with Igrene is very touching.
@@fedechan6325 How exactly? Xander legit pissed me off several times in each route. Have you seen Ghast Station's support science videos on him? We share many of the same opinions.
I’m looking at this list and thinking I must’ve got lucky with some of these characters because I didn’t have a bad time getting up Sonia and Charlotte the being one of my best units in Conquest.
Sonya isn't that bad starting out and it's not hard to make her strong, plus as I said concerning Charlotte her growths are VERY impressive and as a Berserk she crits like crazy.
I'd certainly put Nino on my own list. She's an abysmal unit but oh my god, her character arc even without support conversations, is simultaneously absolutely heart rending and triumphantly uplifting. She manages to maintain her endearing sense of optimism and even innocence despite having been manipulated by her wretched bitch of a "mother" into nearly taking the life of a (then) innocent prince near to her own age. And all that for the very prospect of receiving the one thing every child is entitled to, parental affection. Only to realize shortly thereafter that the woman who was believed to be her mother was actually the one who killed her family in the first place, and merely raised her for the purpose of being a pawn and eventually a scapegoat as well. But with the support (no pun intended) of her closest and newly acquired friend, (and potential husband) who inflicted retribution on Nino's irredeemably contemptuous surrogate parent, Nino manages to stay true to herself and provide a hopeful outlook for her newfound peers. I wish I could a muster a word more articulate than "powerful" but I'm kind of exhausted as I type this so "powerful" will have to do. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade was my first Fire Emblem game and that level of powerful character writing not only made me fall head over heels for the kind of effort put into these games' casts, but made me realize first hand why the franchise is so acclaimed by fan and critic alike, and made feel that much more elated that I chose to get my feet wet and try it out.
Charlotte and Donnel, that's not very cash-money of you, ironically enough. Btw I also dislike Izuka. He's running the Sonic series into the ground. I'll take my leave now.
These top 10's just keep getting better, I actually had to stop it twice due to laughter. I'm in agreement with all of these besides Sonya, in my experience she's definitely better than Boey even with his earlier joining time, no Seraphim hurts late game but she's a pretty nice Excalibur spammer and upon promotion she gains healing which is very appreciated on Celica's side with all of the terrain that deals damage in Act 4 and Rewarp and Entrap are pretty nice as well. Deen is of course the better unit but it's a lot harder to pick than what it sounds like as with Deen you're getting another great combat unit while with Sonya you're getting flexibility as well as being able to use Excalibur for cheesing certain engagements.
Funny, Donnel was the powerhouse in my Awakening playthrough. Admittedly, it was because I played it after 3H and didn't know that the advanced classes have worse growths. Since Donnel was one character I couldn't rush into an advanced class, and yes I did take him on grinding missions, his stats ended up stupidly higher than the rest of the team. I could just park him in the middle of the enemies and leave him there until everything was dead. And when he got the skill that made weapons not use up durability with a dex proc, I could just give him the best weapons and they'd never wear out.
Beruka in Conquest is a unit who I can never bare to bench, despite often ending up quite lacking for damage output (mainly due to low speed and middling str failing to compensate), which coupled with her bow weakness and low res and simply being overshadowed in nearly every way by Camilla. Last time I played I sunk way too many stat boosts and resources for forged weapons into her to make her viable, in addition to buying the aptitude skill from castle battles. Hell, it actually made her a powerhouse and a flying fortress, especially when I gave her the unique weapon aptly named "Beruka's Axe" which gave her an impressive crit rate. Totally worth it
Beruka isn't bad per as due to her being an only Wyvern rider beside Camilla (not counting child units and reclassing) she gets a unique edge and her base is fine alongside her growths. So overall Beruka is a good unit just not one of the strongest in the game.
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 The mock the emblems were great as well, but I'm talking minute long bitesize shitposts to keep us going in-between videos. Could be something to consider. Though if you do, you might want to just have your patreon shoutouts in the description, otherwise they be longer than the actual video!
Nice to see Rebecca getting a mention, she really is a great character, even if her performance as a unit is...lacking. Though, I've found that abusing Rebecca's fire affinity supports helps make up for her less than stellar combat capabilities a bit as she gets a crap ton of crit and will be able to blast fools left and right with a little luck. Though, that also means having to bring along Dart and Lowen, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on the person
I recently finished FE7 for the first time and while I didn’t delve into supports I trained Rebecca and quite enjoyed using her even though Louise was better. Also this was hilarious, great list and job with the edits!
They've been more prominent since the start of this year in order to give my videos that little bit more flare, and I would very appreciate it if you did sub thanks.
5:26 to be honest I only use her so Genny, also known as the best healer in the entire series in my subjective opinion, can get that sweet sweet character development.
@@tristanbowles7258 I'm stating an outright fact, when the time comes that you do need to grind to complete the brutal bonus levels, donnel loses every reason to be used.
@@Saltyoven i think his best advantage is the combination of high luck and armsthrift. his luck cap is 51, meaning that, with armsthrift equipped, his weapons never break, letting him use legendary weapons liberally. still falls short compared to other units, but at least he has that
Which is a shame because hes always ny best archer ans in my first playthrough before i discovered grinding, he was easily my best unit. Hes also a top tier character personality wise but thats my opinon
Not sure I agree with using Eliwood as the example for good character useless combatant. I don't know if my Eliwoods were RNG blessed or my Hectors RNG screwed but I've had several runs where Eliwood has ended up as strong or stronger than Hector. And even when things go normally he's far from bad.
Eliwood is objectively bad but it's more down to his class line and late promotion, he's build is good and he doesn't have much trouble killing, but he's sword and foot locked for so long which is what makes him bad. Lyn is the same situation only worse since she doesn't get a mount or lances upon promotion.
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 Despite That, In My EHM My Eliwood Got Max Strenght, Max Speed 16 Defense, Almost 40 HP At Max Lv... BEFORE Promotion, Hell, By The Time Hector Got Maxed Out (Before Promotion) He Was Surpassed By Eliwood In Everything But Def & HP, I'm Not Kidding & In My HHM... Ok At The Start, He Sucked (Then Again, Marcus Was The Only One Strong Enough To Fight In Early HHM) But Once He Caught Up, He Got Almost As High Def As Before, Max Strenght, Max Skill & Speed, Really High Luck, Decently High HP & Capped Resistence, May I Remind U That Both Eliwood's Def & Res R Lower Than 40%... Yeah, I Got REALLY Lucky On My Eliwoods In My Hard Mode Playthroughts On FF7, The Guy Got So Strong He Basicly Became My Main MVP Of EHM & My Secondary MVP In HHM... I'm A Lucky Bastard
You haven't experienced true bliss until you've watched Donnel solo Rogues and Redeemers: 3, where he kills every major Lord and Villain in the entire franchise, with a well-earned "YEEHAW!"
My number one is Kaden He hits like a stuffed animal and he gets killed in only a couple of hits BUT I love his interactions with the cast with how laid back and helpful he is He and Sakura are also my favorite fates ship (and I love Sakuras Halloween alt because of it) But kaden does redeem himself with his evasion and crit rate combined with his self healing makes this pincushion and surprisingly good cork to put at a choke point
Vishwa Arun how is evasion worthless if the enemy can’t hit you you don’t die And I stacked him with after battle damage skills like grizzly wound and poison strike so a 12 damage crit still works
31:45 I love owain so much. He just steals the scene whenever he’s there. And say what you will about their inclusion I LOVE the 3 awakening children’s inclusion. Just seeing how owain severa (best girl don’t judge me) and inigo change and grew was very enjoyable and soleil and Ophelia (aka why the fuck do you have a 50% Crit rate) became two of my favorite characters fir their interactions. Also the copy children were lazy but I liked caledoria supports with severa as her mom (which is the canon parent let’s be honest)
Bramimond: *had to sacrifice his identity and emotions in order to use the Apocalypse tome* Sophia: *uses the tome with no consequences other than a weight penalty* Also, how the hell are dark magic tomes so heavy? It’s like the weight of five copies of “War and Peace” (which is a little under 16 pounds according to some google image). Sophia’s gonna have the arms of a JoJo character by the end of the game
10-Rebecca? I think she is just average or at least useful. 09-Sonya... I just need A word to define this unit... Disappointment. 08-Rolf Well at least he's better than meg... 07-CHARLOTTE!?!? NANI!?!? She's extremely useful, Odin should be in this top. His magic is very loose, and his physical attack doesn't hit hard; but what kills me is that speed. He'll always run the risk of receiving a double attack most of the time. Not even his bonus are that good. 06-Sophia, fuck... just fuck it... Look as a character is fine... But as a unit, only pain awaits you. 05-Pelleas... Pain, Grief and Despair, that's all I have to say. 04-Renaud an unnecessary unit. 03-Sanaki? B-but she is a Loli nuke, everyone loves them... Well at least she IS better than meg... 02-Donnel. I just want to know who was the IDIOT who didn't give any specialized class with Spears in his classline. Do you know how long it takes to raise your rank in spears and then never to use that weapon again? YOU DO!? 01-Amelia The game wants you to promote her into a general, but you KNOW that paladin is the only way. The only reason why I don't hate her is very simple, she is cute and her supports are very sweet. In general only one doesn't deserve to be in this top, everything else is debatable.
Charlotte can be more dangerous in Revelations if you do a friendship support with Rinkah, and when she gets that Deathblow Skill, sweet merciful Palutena is she a monster with either a killing axe or even a Brave Axe. I've tested this myself and I agree, Charlotte and Xander are by far the BEST romantic support ever, arguably more than Peri and Xander.
Chaz voicing Xander was such a twist but definitely appreciated cause his voice is as smooth as silk
And jeez, Lewis’ amount of alliteration is simply staggering.
Something tells me that BLAZINGKNIGHT is going to SOMEHOW pick the worst units in 3 Houses and SOMEHOW is going to beat all kind of ass with them too, and that without even realizing it.
If anyone can do it, it would certainly be him. Mad respect though
He could also pick a decent unit and not train them properly.
Should've promoted Selena into a Hero, not a Bow Knight.
Heroes are a bitunderwhelming in Fates thought... or is Selena her name in Awekening?
@@fedechan6325 In Awakening it's Severa.
Heroes in Fates have decent Strength, Skill, Speed and Defense growths. In BlazingKnight's captured footage, he promoted Selena into a Bow Knight, which has MUCH worse strength. I think it was the top 10 overrated FE units video.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 yup, the one with JoeyPals
Well this was very interesting, but this goes to show,

Beruka isn't bad per as due to her being an only Wyvern rider beside Camilla (not counting child units and reclassing) she gets a unique edge and her base is fine alongside her growths. So overall Beruka is a good unit just not one of the strongest in the game.
(TFW you're so early the special thumbnail hasn't even finished going up.)
Am I messed up if I threat Takumi like Rolo from Code Geass because I failed to have him to get him kill
35:15 so it's not just me who noticed that
Top tier edits my dude
You could very easily branch out into shitposts as well. The cut away jokes in this video were fantastic!
Well I've done it twice with mock the emblem and 'Fire Emblem Fates according to Leo', also thanks very much.
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 The mock the emblems were great as well, but I'm talking minute long bitesize shitposts to keep us going in-between videos. Could be something to consider. Though if you do, you might want to just have your patreon shoutouts in the description, otherwise they be longer than the actual video!
@@aidanmentz9733 You mean like what Mangs does?
That GOD LIKE editing with the Star Wars clips and Rolf!
I finally know where you got the scene for the Izuka joke.
Idk if its just me but Sonya always turns into a beast unit in every time i play Echoes especially if you give her the lady blade
ya that was alredy known beacus your love sumia soo mutch
Wow! Was not expecting a Rebels reference.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
You've outdone yourself here mt man! This video wws hilarious!
Damn, I didn't know you liked Rebels.
I like the how you edit with your hands
Thanks very much I'm glad you admire the effect.
I lol'd at Chaz voicing Xander--I didn't even need to look in the credits for that one :D
Nice to see Rebecca getting a mention, she really is a great character, even if her performance as a unit is...lacking. Though, I've found that abusing Rebecca's fire affinity supports helps make up for her less than stellar combat capabilities a bit as she gets a crap ton of crit and will be able to blast fools left and right with a little luck. Though, that also means having to bring along Dart and Lowen, which may or may not be a bad thing depending on the person
Lemme guess, you're gonna do the inverse of this list and Shinon(Radiant Dawn) is gonna be on it.
Actually, Shinon Is One Of BK's Favs
The added alliterative appeal is astonishingly amazing and amusing. Also, good video.
Thanks I'm glad that you noticed.
I recently finished FE7 for the first time and while I didn’t delve into supports I trained Rebecca and quite enjoyed using her even though Louise was better. Also this was hilarious, great list and job with the edits!
I haven't watched your videos in ages, I don't remember all the funny skits and stuff. I might just have to sub.
They've been more prominent since the start of this year in order to give my videos that little bit more flare, and I would very appreciate it if you did sub thanks.
5:26 to be honest I only use her so Genny, also known as the best healer in the entire series in my subjective opinion, can get that sweet sweet character development.
even if you put grinding into question, Donnel actually has lower caps than the rest of your units save in luck.
He’s good I’m valm and only in valm
@@tristanbowles7258 I'm stating an outright fact, when the time comes that you do need to grind to complete the brutal bonus levels, donnel loses every reason to be used.
@@Saltyoven i think his best advantage is the combination of high luck and armsthrift. his luck cap is 51, meaning that, with armsthrift equipped, his weapons never break, letting him use legendary weapons liberally. still falls short compared to other units, but at least he has that
@@Underworlder5 Not to mention other characters can get to 50 Luck with Limit Break and/or Pair-up bonuses.
Which is a shame because hes always ny best archer ans in my first playthrough before i discovered grinding, he was easily my best unit. Hes also a top tier character personality wise but thats my opinon
Not sure I agree with using Eliwood as the example for good character useless combatant. I don't know if my Eliwoods were RNG blessed or my Hectors RNG screwed but I've had several runs where Eliwood has ended up as strong or stronger than Hector. And even when things go normally he's far from bad.
me too, I pretty much was more useful with eliwood than hector
Eliwood is objectively bad but it's more down to his class line and late promotion, he's build is good and he doesn't have much trouble killing, but he's sword and foot locked for so long which is what makes him bad. Lyn is the same situation only worse since she doesn't get a mount or lances upon promotion.
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 okay i don't know what I'm doing beacuse those two are my best units
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 sorry but I've played 6. There is only 1 Lord in all of FE that promotes too late.
@@BLAZINGKNIGHT50 Despite That, In My EHM My Eliwood Got Max Strenght, Max Speed 16 Defense, Almost 40 HP At Max Lv... BEFORE Promotion, Hell, By The Time Hector Got Maxed Out (Before Promotion) He Was Surpassed By Eliwood In Everything But Def & HP, I'm Not Kidding & In My HHM... Ok At The Start, He Sucked (Then Again, Marcus Was The Only One Strong Enough To Fight In Early HHM) But Once He Caught Up, He Got Almost As High Def As Before, Max Strenght, Max Skill & Speed, Really High Luck, Decently High HP & Capped Resistence, May I Remind U That Both Eliwood's Def & Res R Lower Than 40%... Yeah, I Got REALLY Lucky On My Eliwoods In My Hard Mode Playthroughts On FF7, The Guy Got So Strong He Basicly Became My Main MVP Of EHM & My Secondary MVP In HHM... I'm A Lucky Bastard
You haven't experienced true bliss until you've watched Donnel solo Rogues and Redeemers: 3, where he kills every major Lord and Villain in the entire franchise, with a well-earned "YEEHAW!"
My number one is Kaden
He hits like a stuffed animal and he gets killed in only a couple of hits BUT I love his interactions with the cast with how laid back and helpful he is
He and Sakura are also my favorite fates ship (and I love Sakuras Halloween alt because of it)
But kaden does redeem himself with his evasion and crit rate combined with his self healing makes this pincushion and surprisingly good cork to put at a choke point
Maybe I got lucky then because every time i used Kaden he was amazing! Always attacked twice, high hp and evasion and crit almost every turn
Libra The beautiful War Monk that’s his gimmick and what made him one of my favorite fates characters second only to kaze
Crit and evasion are nice, but useless if he is hitting for 3 or 4 damage
Vishwa Arun how is evasion worthless if the enemy can’t hit you you don’t die
And I stacked him with after battle damage skills like grizzly wound and poison strike so a 12 damage crit still works
@@tristanbowles7258 he still cant pick up kills with after damage skills alone, and evasion is not useful if that is all a character has
31:45 I love owain so much. He just steals the scene whenever he’s there. And say what you will about their inclusion I LOVE the 3 awakening children’s inclusion. Just seeing how owain severa (best girl don’t judge me) and inigo change and grew was very enjoyable and soleil and Ophelia (aka why the fuck do you have a 50% Crit rate) became two of my favorite characters fir their interactions. Also the copy children were lazy but I liked caledoria supports with severa as her mom (which is the canon parent let’s be honest)
He shouts other FE game's titles as battle cries. 'Nuff said.
Top ten: great characters that are great units...but IS killed/burn because is a tradition...(looking at you Laegjarn :,( )
Bramimond: *had to sacrifice his identity and emotions in order to use the Apocalypse tome*
Sophia: *uses the tome with no consequences other than a weight penalty*
Also, how the hell are dark magic tomes so heavy? It’s like the weight of five copies of “War and Peace” (which is a little under 16 pounds according to some google image). Sophia’s gonna have the arms of a JoJo character by the end of the game
10-Rebecca?
I think she is just average or at least useful.
09-Sonya...
I just need A word to define this unit... Disappointment.
08-Rolf
Well at least he's better than meg...
07-CHARLOTTE!?!? NANI!?!?
She's extremely useful, Odin should be in this top.
His magic is very loose, and his physical attack doesn't hit hard; but what kills me is that speed.
He'll always run the risk of receiving a double attack most of the time.
Not even his bonus are that good.
06-Sophia, fuck... just fuck it... Look as a character is fine... But as a unit, only pain awaits you.
05-Pelleas... Pain, Grief and Despair, that's all I have to say.
04-Renaud an unnecessary unit.
03-Sanaki? B-but she is a Loli nuke, everyone loves them... Well at least she IS better than meg...
02-Donnel.
I just want to know who was the IDIOT who didn't give any specialized class with Spears in his classline.
Do you know how long it takes to raise your rank in spears and then never to use that weapon again?
YOU DO!?
01-Amelia
The game wants you to promote her into a general, but you KNOW that paladin is the only way.
The only reason why I don't hate her is very simple, she is cute and her supports are very sweet.
In general only one doesn't deserve to be in this top, everything else is debatable.
I mean Donnel was still in E rank when i changed his class. He takes a REALLY long time to level up weapon ranks for some dumb reason
I absolutely adored all your alliteration throughout this video
You just HAD to remind me of bridal fjorm....dam you rng!
Charlotte can be more dangerous in Revelations if you do a friendship support with Rinkah, and when she gets that Deathblow Skill, sweet merciful Palutena is she a monster with either a killing axe or even a Brave Axe. I've tested this myself and I agree, Charlotte and Xander are by far the BEST romantic support ever, arguably more than Peri and Xander.
26:48 Apsotle?
Isn’t it “Apostle”?
The writing in this video is just soooooo goooooood
