    Pro tips for any new player getting into the game: - Always level up Florina, she sucks but the mere thought of an autistic girl one-shotting bosses is too powerful to ignore - The game is made to be completed multiple times, besides your first run you should consider ironman runs (no resets) - Real men™ never back out once inside the Arena - Eliwood is a nerd don't give him any kills go feed Rebecca or something - Archers suck since close range units can also attack from afar with certain weapons, give the devs the middle finger and feed them anyway - Supports are an amazing mechanic to buff your units for later chapters, but that crap is for shippers, don't use them - If you land most of your hits consider going into a casino (you have good luck) - If you land none of your hits consider going into a casino (you saved your good luck for the real thing)

    When I was but a young child I spent a week with my mate at his house, we were both 15 and basically unsupervised. Truly an amazing time. One thing that always reminds me of those golden days is the taste of mi goreng noodles. My mate and I wanted two minute noodles however, and we referred to the mi goreng as "Bootleg noodles" when we first saw them. Then we tried them however, and ho boy did everything change. My point is I just found this channel after watching every Sseth video available on his channel and I can safely say that your content, is bootleg noodle quality. You deserve so many more subscribers tbh.

    well tbf that is true in a way. GBA Emblem was made to go back to basics after they lost their lead director kaga after Thracia 776. So things like Skills and secondary mechanics got cut. This gives GBA Emblem a nostalgic feel as the Base of Fire Emblem Gameplay. Now, FE has long since removed itself from that idea. With Open areas to explore between maps, Skills are in the dozens, Marriage is everywhere, and several secondary mechanics.

    Lucius is awesome. In appearance, personality and especially in gameplay. He's just so great at stomping basically any of the mages that are super abundant in the lategame, and is one of only 4 units who has access to a weapon that is effective against Nergal and The Dragon that isn't exclusive to them. He can use Aureola which can also be used by Athos, Serra and Renault. As a professional loser I'll explain why he's better than every other option for it in list format. Athos: Has Foreblaze which is effective against both Nergal and The Dragon which is an exclusive spell for him so he should use it. Serra: Statistically turns out to have lower Hp, Magic, Speed and Res. Her Defense and Luck are slightly higher so she may fare better against physical opponents. Renault: Statistically turns out to have lower Magic, Skill, Speed and Res. He has higher Hp, Defense and Luck, so against physical opponents he's way better, but his firepower is really lackluster. If you bothered to read this far, thank you for humoring my 3am rants.

    Pro tips 1. Movement is the most important stat speed is a close second. 2.magic ignores defence use a wizard to kill the generals and armour Knights. 3.you can do a lot of crazy micro with the rescue,trade and give comands. 4. The warp staff is broken. 5. Dancers are broken. 6.The reason no one uses Marcus is NOT beacause he "steals exp" it's beacause he is to powerfull. 7. Give athos luna. 8.exp gain lowers after level 10 you can go to level 20 but it is not needed. 9. Prepromotes are better then high investment units. 10. Lyn falls of the face of the earth after lyn mode is over. 11. mages outcompete Archer's. 12. Growth rates exist but a units base stats make them more reliable.

    "The reason no one uses Marcus is NOT beacause he "steals exp" it's beacause he is to powerfull." Really? I still see it as a common opinion that Marcus "steals EXP" and that overusing him will somehow make the game impossible to beat in the later chapters. This is obviously completely incorrect, but I still see it held as a common opinion in casual circles.

And of course there are a lot of poeple who use Marcus I was exaggerating for dramatic effect. What I really mean is you can use him and he's really strong but I don't use him much since he can make the game too easy.

    Well if I remember correctly there is a way to manipulate rng to make sure the same result don't happen on reload. Basically the game "burns" its rng when you like moving a unit and there like multiple path to that location. The arrow indication the route changes as you alternate back and forth and which path it takes actually show you if its a high or low roll. But that let you manipulate rng like before leveling or combat.

    Honestly, I still ain't getting that expansion membership for this game cause having to beat it twice on braindead easy difficulties hurts me a little. Still, nice vid Ruby and to the fine folks reading you can dig for a ROM file that already has the hardest difficulty unlocked if you wish to try Fire Emblem at peak strategy but miss out on story(unless you've played the game before but honestly you ain't need some randos advice now do ya?) TL;DR: Ruby Rooz based and emulation is cheaper and can find a file with max difficulty to skip playing the game twice to get it if you wish to challenge yourself.

This min maxing/optimization autism shit is so out of hand and seems especially prevelant in the FE games.

The increase in stats from promotion bonuses and possible access to new weapon types can turn the next few chapters from absolute slogs into cakewalks.
