I think after you finish making builds for every character you should do a tier list ranking the characters according to their builds so people know who to prioritise building
Honestly I'd say for this level of investment is more for favourites first - you can beat the game on Maddening pretty comfortably with units nowhere near as optimised
Ayyye my boy! Another one I’ve really been waiting for, I have to say though when I found out essence of fire didn’t work with demolisher I was super disappointed, it inflicts the flame effect so I don’t see why it doesn’t work.
Nice!! Thank you so much for the vid, it's just in time for my next AG play through. :) Personally I'm not a fan of how Great Knight plays (the exception being Hilda), but I'm super happy to see it being used! War Master is fun, but would't call it broken since as you've said in the past, there's not a lot of gauntlets to choose from. My personal favorite build for him right now is Mortal Savant or Dancer+Mercurius (not very unique since everyone is OP with that sword but...) equip with Beast Crest. I'm still testing it, but I believe charging strong attacks for as long as possible triggers more explosions. So I use Iceblade to freeze and prevent enemies from guarding then deploying the usual combo+a fully charged demolisher rinse and repeat, and that was enough S rank the gatekeeper paralogue. But I've seen your other vids and builds so we all know that combo on any unit is broken as hell!
Buff arts seem to be unpopular but in this case, war strike and invirgorating spirit seems to have great synergy for how you intend to use this unit. Boost str, war strike goes through defenses and then charge attack when war strike is on cool down. And can confirm underdog is invaluable in tactics mode. Also to cover all my weaknesses I'd use a shield to null armour effect (I think its called kadomos?). Can't fault this build at all. This is pretty much THE build for dodo.
Heck yeah! Welcome to the club! Dancer Dedue is totally viable! For abilities I recommend: Lifetaker, Death Blow, Sword Prowess Lv 3, Boost Crit, Burst of Valor, Pass/Driven Spirit, Dexterity Catalyst, Absorb Defense, Dual Onslaught, and Special Dance. Iceblade will freeze enemies in place then you can charge your class action dance or run up and combo w/Demolisher! What to equip? I recommend Crest of the Beast or Fetters of Dromi. Good luck!!
You know what I would love to see? A tier list of the BASE abilities in the game. My biggest issue with that is I feel like there are a whole bunch of completely OP S-rank abilities, though I will say that, to me at least, the obvious best S++++++ ability in the game is Sylvain's. The lords' are obviously also quite strong, but they're lords so I expected that, and I still don't think their abilities are better than Sylvain's.
I like Shez' ability. They don't really need another boost in power considering the power and versatility of their special class and the movement speed is just amazing. It would not be as good if Shez wasn't already OP though. Otherwise yeah Ferdinand, Sylvain, Marianne and Balthus, the hit-based crowd, have my favourite abilities. Balthus purely because money's a bitch to get in this game, the other three because they're wonderful and powerful. Marianne is less offensive but damn, it's incredible anyway. Defensively there's also Lorenz and Byleth who are good
@@Arkayjiya oh shoot I forgot Balthus entirely. he's the only one who can compete with Sylvain imo. I agree Shez's is extremely good as well, but again that was pretty expected. Marianne's feels only okay until you boost it until the max level, at which point WOW everything on the field is frozen.
Or you could not use a crest stone, so you can use his Prepared to Die, and keep using Specials. Edit: I've been experimenting/grinding dedue as a Dark Knight with Sylvain's crest weapon, so Dedue is slowly getting damage and would eventually be able to use Vengeance. Not sure if this is good though. Also, can someone check what brawling rank their Annette has? Cause mine has A rank and I'm not sure how.
To summarize you only change flayn and constance abilities. For balthus, this is more like you take an alternative Form a litlle bit stronger. And the other characters keep their personnal skill.
Hey so, I got a question since you brought up Defense Factor this build: What do the factor skills exactly do? I've never quite stopped to test them myself, but since I don't see them activate on the screen, I was curious if you knew how they functioned. Great build and thanks!
They boost your overall damage depending on the stat; so if I have a shez with a wepon with speed factor lv3 it will greatly boost the damage shez deals based on their speed. Basically just adds another stat besides strength and magic that you're damage comes from.
@@therealwildace2025 Hmm, but do you have an idea of how much? I kinda wanted to have some measurements for it to weight it against Boost Collisions or Consecutive hits, for example.
I have a question since we discussing repeats of some weapons. If u Clear a story a 2nd time, can u get another drop of that hero relic or is it once per file period?
So I got a question. I'm in Azure Gleam ng+ coming from Scarlett Blaze. I already have Byleth carried over from my last play through. Will this trigger chapter 16 or do I need to recruit them again to activate it?

Thank you! Appreciate you liking the build. You gave some pretty good advice.

I'd love to make this build, but I can't pass on De-Dancer Dedue.

So you didn't make your Annette a war master to get her brawling to A rank?
@@therealwildace2025 isn’t that class male-only?

we are getting som great knight love now

Nope. Only one per chain of playthrough.
Dedue is superior to jeralt lol only character I can think of with a better charge attack is Hilda
finally it's my DadDedue 😍
So I got a question. I'm in Azure Gleam ng+ coming from Scarlett Blaze. I already have Byleth carried over from my last play through. Will this trigger chapter 16 or do I need to recruit them again to activate it?
I think you need to recruit Byleth again.
You will need to recruit Byleth again to activate chapter 16 again.
Not a huge fan of Dedue, but still here’s the algorithm comment! Can’t wait for Dorothea!!! 😍😍😍 thanks for the vids
PS: maybe a tier list?? 🥰🙈
