I mostly like this game, but I wish the clones didn’t share the *exact* same moveset. I know there’s more that differentiates them, such as skills and special/awakening moves, but even minor tweaks to their movesets would help them feel less samey. Just switch out a couple of heavy attacks, or give certain attacks different properties compared to the same attack used by a different character, and that’s all you really need to do. Also, don’t out clones in the DLC: I paid extra for this, I should be getting more out of it. As much as I find this version of Vengeance to be an interesting skill, it should’ve come with a unique moveset on the same character.

Yup. This tier list is just about spot on. I was really struggling with some maps in history mode...until I discovered Minerva. Just by placing her on the map and starting the battle, the stage clear notification should just pop up immediately.
@@selassieaspen9940 We should get one actually since Hyrule Warriors got one, We should be seeing it after the next Fire Emblem game, because Fire Emblem Warriors did do well considering the style of game
i'm gonna be honest, when I found out how ridiculously easy it was to cannonball enemies with Frederick, I stopped playing everyone else and just solo'd the game with him.
He needs his bear meat - I'll just put Armor Break on his axe and have him tank hits in his boxers. Then I'll go to the voice gallery and listen to his "I need a healer!' quote because it rivals Owain's entire output for hilarity.
@@browncoatkevin he’s holding out for a healer to the end of the night. They’ve gotta have stats and they’ve gotta have mend and they’ve gotta survive the frontlines.
Honnestly, Sakura with Topsy-Turvy and Statfip can be really good. An archer dealing magic damages and having a lot of defense can be situational, but I think it' really good.
As someone who already really liked Lyn and Navarre from playing the games they come from I was so happy when I realized they were the best while keeping a fun gameplay in Warriors
I main as Xander and Robin in this game though I've had my fair share trying out all the characters. Out of everyone though I do use Xander in battle the most because of his play style especially once I have Astra equipped on him. It's just so useful and I just love charging around on the horse slashing all the enemies without stopping
Sakura's placement is a tad strange to me. I don't think she's that far behind Takumi. Her ability to use topsy turvy and kill generals extremely effectively by attacking with her magic stat is a great niche. Also as you mentioned her moveset is fantastic. She uses every good skill well such as Luna, Astra, Galeforce, Lethality etc. Her high luck and very high magic gives her great usage in maps with a lot of generals and other tanky enemies that are a little harder for Takumi to eliminate.
Thank you for making this! I found your channel through the Hyrule Warriors tier list and I gotta say I sunk way more time into FE Warriors than Hyrule Warriors, so I appreciate this. :)
I loved your teir list! I loved how you acknowledged how great the characters truely are in this game. I very much see where you come from with all your points and i very much agree!
I thought for the longest time Marth was meh, but his C3 actually comes out very fast and has a quite wide clear in a arc with a simple and controlled swipe animation. Means he's actually very good at clearing.In addition to respectable dueling, his lock on, dash, and good statline, I think he's better then Lucina and somewhat close to Navarre. There's also something weird going on with crits. I noticed chararacter like narvarre seem to have much better base damage on their advantage/awakening crit(even the pre-letalithy slashes deal good damage). Meanwhile Olivia seems to have a bit of a weaker crit, among some of the mages. Some crit animations are also better then others. Stuff like pegasi and Xander do a charge forward which takes longer and results in much poorer Area of Effect/messes up positioning. there's stuff to be found/considered here. The wyverns also deal a bit poorer crit damage then a few others, meaning that while their clear is good, for heavy dueling focused situation I'll take others, especially since KO count isn't terribly difficult to reach when throwing enough waveclear moves around. Perhaps nobody will read this anymore, but I don't think the entire list is entirely accurate. Specifics around movesets and base damage values just matter too much.
Kind of wish they would give FEW another go with a sequel, with FEH having been around for a few years now, they could borrow some data in regards which banners tend to draw more attention and use that to give a more diverse roster (and maybe a bunch of Lyn and Camilla alts)
I was literally just watching your "All About" series for this game and was so confused... I'm glad you now see Leo and Elise are good and Corrin is "bad" lol
Leo and Elise just need to be played with carefully. They can be easily knocked out of their combos, and Elise especially can quickly die to physical attacks if not careful.
Even as I started watching this video, I figured the wyvern riders would be at the top just for that one move. Its power and radius are so stupidly broken, they trivialize just about every map you can use them on.
I think Nosferatu put her over the top there, as it's one of two HP recovery moves outside of items. Tharja's being a combo, and thus easily repeatable, favorably compares it to Linde's super move that requires a lot of charging a meter.
I love using Tiki in pair-up mode so she can grab all of the warrior gauge and awakening gauge bonuses while having a stronger character up-front. It’s like having a little bomb waiting to go off and wipe a few rooms.
Hmm. I find it very difficult to argue with this list. Good job! Something to take into consideration: Statflip is good for Fredrick, Leo and Elise as it changes their str/mag into def/res, and did you know that Statflip and Topsy-Turvy can be combined? This makes str users into res users, which benefit Sakura and the Pegasus knights. This does take up two weapon slots to use though, so that's a downside.
Enemy army: We have dragons, hell beast, a near infinite army, and the blessing of necromancers and evil gods Minerva and Camilla: *look at each other* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....flatten them
I would have slotted Tiki into the S Tier. She might not start out great at the start of a fight. But once I gave her the right skills and weapon attributes, I practically turned keeps into death chambers!
I don't really know how to feel about this. On one hand, Minerva is my favorite character in this game, with a fun moveset, insane strength, and great mobility wrapped into one great package. On the other hand... dash C1. Almost makes me feel guilty for picking "the win button"
Robin is my best character, he's good in any level and has such a powerful duel special. As someone who's spent a very long time playing this game, I agree with this list completely, I've always thought Corrin and Marth/Celica were lacking and that Robin was underrated to some extent. Camilla and Minerva are so broken because of "that" lol But yeah, awesome vid dude, I enjoy watching your vids because you know your stuff with these games :)
Ryoma/Owain are actually kinda insane I gave Ryoma astra, and was pulling of DMC level combos with him, enemy generals actually just had no time to breathe the juggling potential was crazy
Please do one for Pirate Warriors 3! It's such an underrated Warriors game, and there's so little TH-cam content of it compared to the Nintendo ones. PW4 was also just announced, so now's a good a time as ever
Awesome! I'm so glad they ported it to the Switch, so that more people can play it. If you like Musou games, you're in for a treat. In terms of moveset diversity and fun/fast combat, it can't be beat.
I think that I agree with your entire list for the most part. I think I’d move Leo down a bit and Lucina up a bit. And, of course, I will never agree with Minerva and Camilla being higher than Navarre and Minerva. There are actually a lot of situations where they just don’t do enough damage to generals that have a lot of HP. Meanwhile, Lyn and Navarre - ESPECIALLY Navarre - do literally everything perfectly with just the first four hits of their regular attack. Who needs combos when you already have all the area damage, speed, power, and critical damage you could possibly want by just spamming the Y button? But if you want to use their combos, well, their C6 makes you completely invincible while gathering up hundreds of enemies, doing a shit ton of damage, and absolutely demolishing critical gauges. Minerva and Camilla’s C1 is broken, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t work in every situation. Sometimes, they actually have to fight. And in those situations, you start to recognize their flaws. Meanwhile, Lyn and Navarre have no flaws to speak of. Even the weapon triangle means very little to them because their C6 just ignores it for some reason. I can’t stress enough just how OP they are. Navarre is especially OP because of his insanely high Str, Spd, Skl, and Lck, being among the best ones in the game. They legit just don’t care about anything but slaughtering anything and everything in their path, and goddamn is it fun to do!
Warriors games go too deep for me to reach end game stats and styles. That said, out of non dlc characters I've had the most fun playing Corrin....If I'm not interrupted so I did expect her to be placed low. A shame some of my favorites suffer from poor stat spreads, it happens!
For the most part, you don't even need to worry about minmaxing anything in any Musou game. They're all pretty simple and only if you want to do things faster should you actually care. I managed to A rank everything in FEW without putting much thought into skill builds or weapon abilities.
it actually resembles my choice of characters a lot. i loved camilla and minerva cause they have a fucking wyvern. as soon as i realised that i can simply CRUSH EVERYONE INTO THE GROUND, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, i abused that in K.O battles. otherwise navarre, olivia, tiki and (okay maybe not) corrin are my favorites. good list imo!
I think Lyn > Navarre because of Sol Katti's inherent Dracoslayer but otherwise I pretty much agree with everything. The game is balanced well enough that you could switch around a lot and it would still be reasonable.
As a more casual Warriors player (I'm here for the Fire Emblem) I had a feeling the Wyvern riders would be top tier. I love constant diving into enemies!
I mean...my Celica kills literally everything she comes in contact with. And when I see everything, I mean it. 1 Critical hit gauge is all she needs and she is done with like 4 enemy generals, but hey, that's My Celica.
She's very strong at dueling! And if you want to rack up KOs quickly, you can just use C3 to hit everyone around you! Marth and her have decent workarounds to their weaknesses, that's for sure.
While yes, high luck is very important, you're really overselling how useful it is. The practical difference at level 100 really does become hard to notice unless the character is especially slouching. Also, while it does eat a slot, +20 luck as a skill more than covers a slouching character. Not that you need pavise and aegis at the same time on every character, and sol doesn't save you from the damage grade, meaning you're only really running 3 luck skills normally. That gives you 3 slots for luck+20, astra, and galeforce for the character you're playing, and luck+20, astra, and whatever utility skill you need for the AI to use like amaterasu
I loved the list and agree with a lot of it! I'd personally put Olivia in S tier if not top A just for how a few skills can cause her to proc Lethality 100% while in awakening. And yesss! Frederick has the greatest playstyle. Edit: Ah Navarre. If only he had a personality to go with his playstyle.
So... the two characters that I use the most are Azura and Minerva... thanks for letting me know that one of them is broken, I'll go flatten the enemy generals now >:3
Thank you for this. I respect your opinions. I enjoy this game due to even though there are clones you can make each have a different purpose. For me my top and favorites are: 1. Lucina (Xander sometimes when I need speed) 2. Azura ( Cordelia when I need speed and my favorite rider) 3.Minerva (though I use her only when I have an objective to clear quickly. Lissa otherwise) 4. Robin ( I don't do well with the others except Vengeance Tharja) 5. Sakura (Topsy-Turvy. Don't care for the other bows) 6. Tiki (Only stone user but still fun) I still need to 100% this...then I can play Hyrule Warriors.
Imo this is what I really appreciate about FEW above HW, no character is truly bad/unusable. Even the bottom tier movesets are still pretty decent and servicable
@@AkameGaKillfan777 i think the summoning gate has the same problem as agitha: an effective moveset, but very difficult to use well. i know how good they can be, but i dread when the game forces me to use either
Haven't touched this game post DLC. beat the whole campaign and most objectives just by pancake smashing with Camilia. Truly broken indeed. Good times.
IMO, I'd place Azura (and maybe the other Lance users) above Rowan & Lianna because of the abundance of sword users in this game. Lance users have the best triangle advantage, but not as much coverage as Tome users I think.
Pretty much matches how I felt the characters were while playing through the game. Definitely see how Niles is the worst archer now though, guess I had tunnel vision since he is my favorite FE character. Ain’t gonna leave my precious rouge behind though and I feel like that’s the big take away from this video. Keep playing your fav but just make sure you have a wyvern on your team just in case.
I would love to see a character prediction video for Persona 5 Scramble. Who would you like to see playable and give examples of how you would like their move sets to be.
The Phantom Thieves (Including Akechi and Kasumi) are a given. Seeing how Persona 4 Arena had characters from Persona 3, I’m willing to bet that most of the Shadow Operatives and all of the Investigation Team will be included in some way. An original character, and the Velvet Assistants.
This game was far from bad, but it was very unfortunate that it had several clones to follow hyrule warriors, which had few to 0 clones (to my knowledge at least, it has been awhile) and several characters also had multiple weapons that completely changed their attacks. This game had several awesome mechanics.
i think what hurt it the most was the lack of unit diversity (no infantry axe users aside from lissa, no armor knights, no lance cavaliers, no sword fliers...) and purposefully withholding other popular characters for the sake of a sequel (ike, the most popular character in the entire franchise, is never seen or mentioned in the slightest). alongside the fateswakening favoritism that leaves very little for other, less divisive games to shine, the game just feels a bit hollow. hyrule warriors felt like a passion project while FE warriors was more like "sure, we can do that"
@@lobsterp3821 personally, i think it would benefit from from, rather than having just three games in general, it could represent three "eras" or sorts. shadow dragon to represent old era (the time it was JP exclusive), blazing blade to represent middle era (the time the series was first localized) and awakening to represent new era (awakening onward). after that, the DLC waves focus on each game in each era again, as a sort of honorably mention (my picks would be genealogy, path of radiance, and fates) for the sake of "exotic units", i have some ideas. delay the game a little to buy time for a larger roster, prioritize popular/important non-sword units like hector, deirdre, titania etc., and do what they did with lyn and celica, occasionally having units represent a game that does not get focused on. the last idea is to do what they originally planned and keep the original plans for the protagonists (rowan and lianna were originally not sword wielders, but rather had an axe and a lance respectively)
@@lobsterp3821 you make good points. FE has a much larger roster to choose from than zelda does (some characters from HW are not even fighters in the source material). one game for each era would probably be the best choice. i honestly have nothing more to add to this discussion, other than that i hope a sequel comes that fixes everything, now koei tecmo has dipped their toe in the water that is FE
My team: Chrom, Lissa, Thraja, Caeda. They may all be in a comfortable B tier and tail end of A, but they’re all #1 in my book. As for my backups, it’s the entirety of the A tier, Elise, and Azura.
See this, this right here is why we need to donate. You should be compensated for your hard work. Also interesting that you placed Niles so low. I wonder what you'll think of him when you get to Fates. He's easily one of my high B, low A tier characters in that game.
i mostly used Lissa and Oboro, but changed some of my main 8 characters because you have to use others eventually. also we should have gotten Alm, Hector, Ike, Eliwood, Roy, Sigurd, black knight, eirika and a lot more characters tbh. and while we got so many clones already, they could have easily put in some more like Gunter for Frederick, Maribelle for Elise and Leo. i hope we get a sequal with more characters tbh
@@EWOODJ well bunch of characters are just the same with different models, since they didn't make new fighting styles. i am sure that makig Lyn was harder then making Lucina
Thanks for this tier list. I'm now going to grab my Switch and play some FE Warriors because destroying everything with Chrom and his insanely fast and powerful Chrom's Training Sword from his amiibo is really fun.
I know you said to look online for character builds but I'd still love to see you cover them. I've looked around online a bit for certain characters but there are a lot of varied opinions and a lot of them were made early on and without the dlc. And I think it'd help me understand more and come up with builds on my own if I had an explanation as to why the builds are considered good. But for now, great tier list and keep up the good work 👍.
"No one is ever happy with someone else's list" Think again. You pretty much mirrored what I experienced and felt about different playstyles in this game.
Before watching this I was convinced that Lyn was the best character(I haven’t bought the DLC so I didn’t know about those characters), but I didn’t know the pancake strategy existed. That’s broken, why didn’t I think of that?
I just finish this game... My frequent use character are Lucina and Takumi (I really hate enemy's pegasus knight ) I am not a good gamer. I feel dizzy when I use Camilla's dash 'X' attack, the camera moved so much I have the same issue when I use Lyn (her combo attack) and I frequently missed attack on enemy because she is hard to control. (I charge towards boss but instead Lyn attacked other direction)
What makes this hilarious is that a sequel to hyrule warriors is confirmed to be coming out in November. Also, I made this comment a year ago, what are you trying to say?
You know this was just the video I needed. I recently got a Switch and was thinking on getting FEW since I'm a big FE and Warriors fan but I was bummed out to hear about all the clones, of the few pet peeves I can have with a Warriors title (It's why I can't stand to play WO3 despite it being so highly praised, because a lot of the DW characters are clones). Being able to see and hear just how the clones are still able to differentiate themselves from one another was a delight and has really opened up my mind on it more.
Camilla's more of a D tier because I can't use her when my parents are watching me play.
That’s why they added Minerva. Same results without the questioning eyes from the backseat.
LOLOLOLOL why is this so accurate
Guess she is more of a double D tier character *I'm sorry*

I'm surprised that Topsy-Turvy wasn't considered for Sakura's placement as well.
Alexander Sun saber here honestly
@@brunkosproogle5046 Me too, i loved having the magic option for bow only missions. not to mention sakura's specials are super op.
Exactly, with Topsy-Turvy on the Spellbane Yumi she's easily the strongest archer in the game.
@@friendlyelites Not really. Anna's absurdly high luck allows her to have some truly powerful builds.
Exactly. She's an absolute monster with it
As someone who already really liked Lyn and Navarre from playing the games they come from I was so happy when I realized they were the best while keeping a fun gameplay in Warriors
My girl Olivia channeling her inner Tingle and kicking all the ass.
I am so proud * *sob* *
now i am imaging olivia and tingle together... a thought i could easily go without
I main as Xander and Robin in this game though I've had my fair share trying out all the characters. Out of everyone though I do use Xander in battle the most because of his play style especially once I have Astra equipped on him. It's just so useful and I just love charging around on the horse slashing all the enemies without stopping
Sakura's placement is a tad strange to me. I don't think she's that far behind Takumi. Her ability to use topsy turvy and kill generals extremely effectively by attacking with her magic stat is a great niche. Also as you mentioned her moveset is fantastic. She uses every good skill well such as Luna, Astra, Galeforce, Lethality etc. Her high luck and very high magic gives her great usage in maps with a lot of generals and other tanky enemies that are a little harder for Takumi to eliminate.
Exactly what i thought shes even my most used archer
Oh, I just finished the Hyrule Warriors one. Neat timing.
For Sakura I make sure to give her a weapon with Topsy-Turvy so she uses Magic instead of Strength to attack.
Thank you for making this! I found your channel through the Hyrule Warriors tier list and I gotta say I sunk way more time into FE Warriors than Hyrule Warriors, so I appreciate this. :)

Wyvern Dash Heavy Attack: “It’s free real estate”
I loved your teir list! I loved how you acknowledged how great the characters truely are in this game. I very much see where you come from with all your points and i very much agree!
Damn, some of my favorites are on the lower side lmao
I thought for the longest time Marth was meh, but his C3 actually comes out very fast and has a quite wide clear in a arc with a simple and controlled swipe animation. Means he's actually very good at clearing.In addition to respectable dueling, his lock on, dash, and good statline, I think he's better then Lucina and somewhat close to Navarre.
There's also something weird going on with crits. I noticed chararacter like narvarre seem to have much better base damage on their advantage/awakening crit(even the pre-letalithy slashes deal good damage). Meanwhile Olivia seems to have a bit of a weaker crit, among some of the mages. Some crit animations are also better then others. Stuff like pegasi and Xander do a charge forward which takes longer and results in much poorer Area of Effect/messes up positioning. there's stuff to be found/considered here. The wyverns also deal a bit poorer crit damage then a few others, meaning that while their clear is good, for heavy dueling focused situation I'll take others, especially since KO count isn't terribly difficult to reach when throwing enough waveclear moves around.
Perhaps nobody will read this anymore, but I don't think the entire list is entirely accurate. Specifics around movesets and base damage values just matter too much.
Kind of wish they would give FEW another go with a sequel, with FEH having been around for a few years now, they could borrow some data in regards which banners tend to draw more attention and use that to give a more diverse roster (and maybe a bunch of Lyn and Camilla alts)
I had no clue that Camilla/Minerva were broken seeing as I only played with Lissa or Takumi... and no dlc
I was literally just watching your "All About" series for this game and was so confused... I'm glad you now see Leo and Elise are good and Corrin is "bad" lol
I can't put Corrin in quotes honestly, she doesn't feel like she functions in this game
Her moves feel so incomplete lmao
Leo and Elise just need to be played with carefully. They can be easily knocked out of their combos, and Elise especially can quickly die to physical attacks if not careful.
The problem with corrin is that she has such a small Range. Her/his Only good attack is that full dragon transformation.
My girls Sakura and Corin c tier, rip
Well at least I have a reason to stop ignoring Takumi now
I'm still gonna ignore Takumi not gonna lie
@@saturnhaswings3617 I unlocked Anna early on just to not use him. Yes it was painful.
@@henrygutierrez3243 I commend your dedication soldier
Topsy Turvy makes Sakura better than takumi
Jacob Dutkiewicz Who needs Takumi? That’s what Anna is for.
Even as I started watching this video, I figured the wyvern riders would be at the top just for that one move. Its power and radius are so stupidly broken, they trivialize just about every map you can use them on.
"Rocking the highest skill stat in the game"
well shinon isn't in the game to show true archer dominance .
get out
@@Smeik2901 It's true, though.
@@laggalot1012 oh, THAT Shinon.
I thought he was talking about Sinon from SAO lol
@@Smeik2901 oh, I can see how that'd lead to such a response...
What shinon?
robin : have higher str , mag , res , skl and luck
tharja : have higher def , spd and fan service
tHaRjA iS bEtTeR
I think Nosferatu put her over the top there, as it's one of two HP recovery moves outside of items. Tharja's being a combo, and thus easily repeatable, favorably compares it to Linde's super move that requires a lot of charging a meter.
I love using Tiki in pair-up mode so she can grab all of the warrior gauge and awakening gauge bonuses while having a stronger character up-front. It’s like having a little bomb waiting to go off and wipe a few rooms.
Hmm. I find it very difficult to argue with this list. Good job!
Something to take into consideration: Statflip is good for Fredrick, Leo and Elise as it changes their str/mag into def/res, and did you know that Statflip and Topsy-Turvy can be combined? This makes str users into res users, which benefit Sakura and the Pegasus knights. This does take up two weapon slots to use though, so that's a downside.
I would move Sakura a little up because of Topsy Turvy, she becomes a little more than broken against almost everything
My poor Hinoka...I was hoping she is at least B due to her high str
Legendary Brave Lance: Exists
Oboro: Hello there.
Ephriam: I'm I joke to you?
cool Dude
Ephriam is a joke
Enemy army: We have dragons, hell beast, a near infinite army, and the blessing of necromancers and evil gods
Minerva and Camilla: *look at each other* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....flatten them
I would have slotted Tiki into the S Tier. She might not start out great at the start of a fight. But once I gave her the right skills and weapon attributes, I practically turned keeps into death chambers!
I don't really know how to feel about this.
On one hand, Minerva is my favorite character in this game, with a fun moveset, insane strength, and great mobility wrapped into one great package.
On the other hand... dash C1.
Almost makes me feel guilty for picking "the win button"
Robin is my best character, he's good in any level and has such a powerful duel special. As someone who's spent a very long time playing this game, I agree with this list completely, I've always thought Corrin and Marth/Celica were lacking and that Robin was underrated to some extent. Camilla and Minerva are so broken because of "that" lol
But yeah, awesome vid dude, I enjoy watching your vids because you know your stuff with these games :)
Ryoma/Owain are actually kinda insane
I gave Ryoma astra, and was pulling of DMC level combos with him, enemy generals actually just had no time to breathe
the juggling potential was crazy
27:45 “Fantastic strength stats…”
Uh-huh…and that’s the ONLY thing that can be considered “fantastic.” Riiiiiight.
The Tingle at 13:30 had me chuckle a little. Not something I expected to see, but welcomed all the same.
i believe there’s actually a tingle hidden in every Character Image
Please do one for Pirate Warriors 3! It's such an underrated Warriors game, and there's so little TH-cam content of it compared to the Nintendo ones. PW4 was also just announced, so now's a good a time as ever
I just bought that on the eshop, good sale for that going on right now still (I think).
Awesome! I'm so glad they ported it to the Switch, so that more people can play it. If you like Musou games, you're in for a treat. In terms of moveset diversity and fun/fast combat, it can't be beat.
Go for it! It's my favorite Musou game, and I'm always trying to expose more people to it since it's a bit underrated.
I think that I agree with your entire list for the most part. I think I’d move Leo down a bit and Lucina up a bit. And, of course, I will never agree with Minerva and Camilla being higher than Navarre and Minerva. There are actually a lot of situations where they just don’t do enough damage to generals that have a lot of HP. Meanwhile, Lyn and Navarre - ESPECIALLY Navarre - do literally everything perfectly with just the first four hits of their regular attack. Who needs combos when you already have all the area damage, speed, power, and critical damage you could possibly want by just spamming the Y button? But if you want to use their combos, well, their C6 makes you completely invincible while gathering up hundreds of enemies, doing a shit ton of damage, and absolutely demolishing critical gauges. Minerva and Camilla’s C1 is broken, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t work in every situation. Sometimes, they actually have to fight. And in those situations, you start to recognize their flaws. Meanwhile, Lyn and Navarre have no flaws to speak of. Even the weapon triangle means very little to them because their C6 just ignores it for some reason. I can’t stress enough just how OP they are. Navarre is especially OP because of his insanely high Str, Spd, Skl, and Lck, being among the best ones in the game. They legit just don’t care about anything but slaughtering anything and everything in their path, and goddamn is it fun to do!
I was just trying to find a tierlist for this game the other day, after coming across your Hyrule Warriors tier list. This is perfect.
The only problem I had with FE Warriors was the lack of Laguz/Beast Tribes. I would've loved to see Keaton
*I can see it now… Keaton just swiping the crap out of everyone…*
Warriors games go too deep for me to reach end game stats and styles. That said, out of non dlc characters I've had the most fun playing Corrin....If I'm not interrupted so I did expect her to be placed low. A shame some of my favorites suffer from poor stat spreads, it happens!
For the most part, you don't even need to worry about minmaxing anything in any Musou game. They're all pretty simple and only if you want to do things faster should you actually care. I managed to A rank everything in FEW without putting much thought into skill builds or weapon abilities.
it actually resembles my choice of characters a lot. i loved camilla and minerva cause they have a fucking wyvern. as soon as i realised that i can simply CRUSH EVERYONE INTO THE GROUND, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, i abused that in K.O battles. otherwise navarre, olivia, tiki and (okay maybe not) corrin are my favorites. good list imo!
As a person who Mains Sakura throughout all of my play though of Fire Emblem Warriors, this kind of saddens me a bit.
I think Lyn > Navarre because of Sol Katti's inherent Dracoslayer but otherwise I pretty much agree with everything. The game is balanced well enough that you could switch around a lot and it would still be reasonable.
As a more casual Warriors player (I'm here for the Fire Emblem) I had a feeling the Wyvern riders would be top tier. I love constant diving into enemies!
Whoever decided to give the Wyvern Riders that OP bellyflop is a mad genius.
I know this video is old but you have helped me so much get through fire emblem warriors. Also I agree that the villager defend levels SUCK
If you give Sakura, you can give her topsy-turvy which is honestly the only way you can get a fast magic bow character.
I mean...my Celica kills literally everything she comes in contact with. And when I see everything, I mean it. 1 Critical hit gauge is all she needs and she is done with like 4 enemy generals, but hey, that's My Celica.
She's very strong at dueling! And if you want to rack up KOs quickly, you can just use C3 to hit everyone around you! Marth and her have decent workarounds to their weaknesses, that's for sure.
While yes, high luck is very important, you're really overselling how useful it is. The practical difference at level 100 really does become hard to notice unless the character is especially slouching. Also, while it does eat a slot, +20 luck as a skill more than covers a slouching character. Not that you need pavise and aegis at the same time on every character, and sol doesn't save you from the damage grade, meaning you're only really running 3 luck skills normally. That gives you 3 slots for luck+20, astra, and galeforce for the character you're playing, and luck+20, astra, and whatever utility skill you need for the AI to use like amaterasu
I loved the list and agree with a lot of it! I'd personally put Olivia in S tier if not top A just for how a few skills can cause her to proc Lethality 100% while in awakening.
And yesss! Frederick has the greatest playstyle.
Edit: Ah Navarre. If only he had a personality to go with his playstyle.
So... the two characters that I use the most are Azura and Minerva... thanks for letting me know that one of them is broken, I'll go flatten the enemy generals now >:3
Thank you for this. I respect your opinions. I enjoy this game due to even though there are clones you can make each have a different purpose. For me my top and favorites are:
1. Lucina (Xander sometimes when I need speed)
2. Azura ( Cordelia when I need speed and my favorite rider)
3.Minerva (though I use her only when I have an objective to clear quickly. Lissa otherwise)
4. Robin ( I don't do well with the others except Vengeance Tharja)
5. Sakura (Topsy-Turvy. Don't care for the other bows)
6. Tiki (Only stone user but still fun)
I still need to 100% this...then I can play Hyrule Warriors.
Yo same!!!
Imo this is what I really appreciate about FEW above HW, no character is truly bad/unusable. Even the bottom tier movesets are still pretty decent and servicable
The Summoning Gate is still a lot better than he ranked it though.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 i think the summoning gate has the same problem as agitha: an effective moveset, but very difficult to use well. i know how good they can be, but i dread when the game forces me to use either
I might be biased, but I feel like Marth has great moves and a quite good stat spread, at least deserving B tier
Yes!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WHILE! THANK YOU!
A nice tier list. I'd have put Caeda way higher due to her luck, speed, 3 slayets, healing etc though
Lower Strength and a bow weakness (nulled by Iote's Shield, but Minerva is DLC) would move almost anyone down. Except Camilla because C1.
I hope to see a Pirate Warriors 3 roster list soon. I want to see how high my main stacks
He's gonna have to add a Fujitora tier for that lol
@@TheVirginMeri Alongside Eneru
And also on Switch, which I just got. It's on a really good sale right now on the eShop
Haven't touched this game post DLC. beat the whole campaign and most objectives just by pancake smashing with Camilia. Truly broken indeed. Good times.
Can't wait till this madman does Warriors Orochi 4.
IMO, I'd place Azura (and maybe the other Lance users) above Rowan & Lianna because of the abundance of sword users in this game. Lance users have the best triangle advantage, but not as much coverage as Tome users I think.
Pretty much matches how I felt the characters were while playing through the game. Definitely see how Niles is the worst archer now though, guess I had tunnel vision since he is my favorite FE character. Ain’t gonna leave my precious rouge behind though and I feel like that’s the big take away from this video. Keep playing your fav but just make sure you have a wyvern on your team just in case.
Yeee Niles is my favorite Archer but its a Warriors game, anyone can work in the end
Your the one who had me get this amazing game. Thank you so much!
I would love to see a character prediction video for Persona 5 Scramble. Who would you like to see playable and give examples of how you would like their move sets to be.
The Phantom Thieves (Including Akechi and Kasumi) are a given. Seeing how Persona 4 Arena had characters from Persona 3, I’m willing to bet that most of the Shadow Operatives and all of the Investigation Team will be included in some way. An original character, and the Velvet Assistants.
This game was far from bad, but it was very unfortunate that it had several clones to follow hyrule warriors, which had few to 0 clones (to my knowledge at least, it has been awhile) and several characters also had multiple weapons that completely changed their attacks. This game had several awesome mechanics.
i think what hurt it the most was the lack of unit diversity (no infantry axe users aside from lissa, no armor knights, no lance cavaliers, no sword fliers...) and purposefully withholding other popular characters for the sake of a sequel (ike, the most popular character in the entire franchise, is never seen or mentioned in the slightest). alongside the fateswakening favoritism that leaves very little for other, less divisive games to shine, the game just feels a bit hollow. hyrule warriors felt like a passion project while FE warriors was more like "sure, we can do that"
@@lobsterp3821 personally, i think it would benefit from from, rather than having just three games in general, it could represent three "eras" or sorts. shadow dragon to represent old era (the time it was JP exclusive), blazing blade to represent middle era (the time the series was first localized) and awakening to represent new era (awakening onward). after that, the DLC waves focus on each game in each era again, as a sort of honorably mention (my picks would be genealogy, path of radiance, and fates)
for the sake of "exotic units", i have some ideas. delay the game a little to buy time for a larger roster, prioritize popular/important non-sword units like hector, deirdre, titania etc., and do what they did with lyn and celica, occasionally having units represent a game that does not get focused on. the last idea is to do what they originally planned and keep the original plans for the protagonists (rowan and lianna were originally not sword wielders, but rather had an axe and a lance respectively)
@@lobsterp3821 you make good points. FE has a much larger roster to choose from than zelda does (some characters from HW are not even fighters in the source material). one game for each era would probably be the best choice. i honestly have nothing more to add to this discussion, other than that i hope a sequel comes that fixes everything, now koei tecmo has dipped their toe in the water that is FE
I think your list is very accurate, nicely done!
I love Minerva so much so I'm happy for her being top tier
My team: Chrom, Lissa, Thraja, Caeda. They may all be in a comfortable B tier and tail end of A, but they’re all #1 in my book. As for my backups, it’s the entirety of the A tier, Elise, and Azura.
See this, this right here is why we need to donate. You should be compensated for your hard work. Also interesting that you placed Niles so low. I wonder what you'll think of him when you get to Fates. He's easily one of my high B, low A tier characters in that game.
i mostly used Lissa and Oboro, but changed some of my main 8 characters because you have to use others eventually. also we should have gotten Alm, Hector, Ike, Eliwood, Roy, Sigurd, black knight, eirika and a lot more characters tbh. and while we got so many clones already, they could have easily put in some more like Gunter for Frederick, Maribelle for Elise and Leo. i hope we get a sequal with more characters tbh
@@EWOODJ well bunch of characters are just the same with different models, since they didn't make new fighting styles. i am sure that makig Lyn was harder then making Lucina
For me an easy fix for Sakura to boost her damage is to give her topsy-turvy weapon skill
Thanks for this tier list. I'm now going to grab my Switch and play some FE Warriors because destroying everything with Chrom and his insanely fast and powerful Chrom's Training Sword from his amiibo is really fun.
I know you said to look online for character builds but I'd still love to see you cover them. I've looked around online a bit for certain characters but there are a lot of varied opinions and a lot of them were made early on and without the dlc. And I think it'd help me understand more and come up with builds on my own if I had an explanation as to why the builds are considered good. But for now, great tier list and keep up the good work 👍.
"No one is ever happy with someone else's list"
Think again. You pretty much mirrored what I experienced and felt about different playstyles in this game.
I love how you used the Dynasty Warriors 3 marching song in your outro
Before watching this I was convinced that Lyn was the best character(I haven’t bought the DLC so I didn’t know about those characters), but I didn’t know the pancake strategy existed. That’s broken, why didn’t I think of that?
I just finish this game... My frequent use character are Lucina and Takumi (I really hate enemy's pegasus knight )
I am not a good gamer.
I feel dizzy when I use Camilla's dash 'X' attack, the camera moved so much
I have the same issue when I use Lyn (her combo attack) and I frequently missed attack on enemy because she is hard to control. (I charge towards boss but instead Lyn attacked other direction)
Ideas for Nintendo warriors games:
Mushroom kingdom warriors (Mario)
Dreamland warriors (Kirby)
Pokemon warriors
Wild Warriors (sequel to hyrule warriors with added BotW characters/weapons)
PSI warriors (Earthbound/Mother)
Retro warriors (retro NES/g&w games)
City warriors (Animal Crossing maybe?)
Pikmin warriors
Smash warriors (all these games put together)
Other games:
Sonic warriors
Megaman warriors
(Final) Fantasy warriors
Dragon (quest) warriors
Persona warriors
Shantae warriors
Knighthood warriors (Shovel Knight)
Minecraft warriors (maybe?)
Other forms of media:
Elemental warriors (Avatar the last Airbender)
(Fullmetal) Alchemist warriors
Bleach warriors
Hero warriors (One punch man)
Marvel warriors
Naruto warriors
Sword art online warriors (no)
I would buy a Naruto Warriors if they did it right.
Please stop
What makes this hilarious is that a sequel to hyrule warriors is confirmed to be coming out in November. Also, I made this comment a year ago, what are you trying to say?
You know this was just the video I needed. I recently got a Switch and was thinking on getting FEW since I'm a big FE and Warriors fan but I was bummed out to hear about all the clones, of the few pet peeves I can have with a Warriors title (It's why I can't stand to play WO3 despite it being so highly praised, because a lot of the DW characters are clones).
Being able to see and hear just how the clones are still able to differentiate themselves from one another was a delight and has really opened up my mind on it more.
Yeah this goes in line with the core fire emblem games, where every character would be a clone if it weren’t for the stats
