I used FE Builder to make a massive tournament to test which class in the gba fire emblem games is the best fighter. I will be using the information collected in this video in a new series on the channel soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that :)

I don't think the +15% Crit that Swordmasters and Berserkers get would need to be removed, and the only other skill I can think of that might matter is Sure Shot on Snipers, which is probably fine to stay as well, since Snipers have a Skill cap of 30 and a Speed cap of 29.

    • ​@@BadAtFireEmblemif I were to do this test with promoted classes, I'd give them all capped stats and when testing them I think I'd always give them the weapon triangle advantage where possible, since a player would presumably opt for the weapon triangle advantage in a scenario if given the choice (ie falcon knights can use lance and sword, so when testing against a berserker they would use a sword and testing against a swordmaster they would use a lance). This way it would also factor in the inherit benefits a class has when they arent locked to a single weapon type.

    • @@Ahappysandwich I don't think stat boosters can be counted upon ; only natural growth stats can be taken into account to give a fairer results. If you start tempering with items you falsify the results because it can drastically change an unit over an entire playthrough. For example, back when i played FE7, i used to select one unit that i decided in advance i would use all of my boosting items upon as to reinforce replayability. In one of said playthrough i selected Florina, the shy pegasus knight, to fill with every boosters available and she became a flying weapon of mass destruction. The same can be done with everyone else. So i assume that stats boosters are out of the question.

  • definitely a neat little video, only thing I would suggest is perhaps running multiple trials of each matchup to deal with the rng variability a little, but from the sounds of it this already took a while to make and I wouldn't want to do that myself, and it looks like the results are pretty consistent anyway.

  • now this is content. I have a few questions: 1. What are the stats? I'm assuming its the expected value at level 20 based off the base + level up percentages. 2. Do you think crit chance should have played a role in this trial? 3. Did the Archer lose to the thief?

    • While I'm not the creator of the video (infact I'm very much watching this video as the 1st time I've heard of this specific creator), but I think I can answer these. 1. We can assume the stats are rounded up to be somewhat close atleast to the average stats they should have at Lv. 20. 2. The crit chance (with the footage displayed) is comically enough only relavant with Monks, due to them being the only ones with a base weapon with a crit rate, that allows them to even think of critting enemies. 3. That was a guranteed L for the Thief, assuming the Archer had a hit rate.

    • Thank you very much for the glowing review 😅 1. FE Builder has an auto level feature, so every unit was level 20 with the average stats they would have gotten after 19 level ups with the class' inherent growth rates. 2. The monk, Merc and myrmidon were the only classes that really had any crit rate, and the critd they got in the testing only made them win harder, it didn't let them win any battles they would have otherwise lost . 3. The thief did 0 damage to the archer, so he got stomped on

Doing a quick check through the video, most of the physical classes have 8 defense or more (Archers have 9), and the mages hover around 6 or 7, so he's generally doing 1-2 damage per hit, if he can even deal any damage at all. Shoutout to the Soldier class being the only one with only 5 Defense, graciously letting the Thief deal 4 damage to him before hitting back for 14.

    • Oh yeah, it's not meant to mean a lot, it's just for fun. And it only really covers raw combat ability. Cavalier is a fantastic class and you always have good options for Cavs even from the start of a campaign. Thieves are pure utility but no other class can do what they do, so they're invaluable. And shaman is the best magic class, with higher might magic, and access to Nosferatu and Luna

Slightly changing your starting parameters can change a lot- Like what if everyone had Steel weapons instead? Etc, etc. Did you run every fight once? Because evasion seems pretty interesting as well.

  • I would say that for base classes, your pegesus knight and cavalier are your best in GBA fire emblem. Not due to stats or weapon advantages. But due to 2 things that this video did not test as much: canto/movement. With canto (being able to move after certain actions with the rest of the units movement) and high move, these units can not only contribute to combat, but also preform utility and side objectives with rescue chains, visiting villages, and generally getting to different places on the map faster than other units. This is on top of variable combat and decent stats accross the board.

    @leargamma4912@leargamma49125 ай бұрын
    • 100% agree. This was purely a combat test, but movement is the best stat in the game, and that paired with canto is stupidly good. Obviously Wyverns still have those benefits alongside the great combat, but I'd definitely rate cav and peg very highly

  • Im sorry to ask this here because it´s irrelevant to the video, but i couldn´t find it in any other place. Do you know how to change a character class when it appears in the middle of a chapter? I tried to change their classes with FE Builder but i couldn´t. I don´t know how to explain it, but in FE8 in chapter 2 join Moulder and Vanessa, and i want to change their classes but i have no idea where is the "script" that spawns them in your party, because they don´t appear in the middle (or at the start) of a chapter they aren´t on the chapter 2 events. Thanks a lot in advance!

    • Hey ninja, I'm not very good with Fe builder beyond the basics but I've asked people that same question before and had it explained to me so I do know how to fix the issue. What happens is moulder and Vanessa actually join your party in between chapters, so changing their class in ch2 won't override what's already been coded for their joining event. If you scroll down the chapter list on the left side of febuilder until you get '38 Castle Frelia', it's just a blank map, but that's where the joining event is stored. So if you click on unit placer for chapter 38 then you'll be able to change their class and stuff 😊

  • For next time, something I’d suggest is making the fights into pairs - one as a green unit and one as a red, then they switch. This is kinda based on chess bot battles, where to test who is actually better they each are given an opening to play once as each color, to account for the difference in going first. In this way, counting them as pairs, you’d have win-loss-draws, which could help significantly by helping to isolate the advantage of going first. I know you said that you did have each of them as red units and green units, but you counted the wins as red units, while this would be counting both, which may do something.

Thief is more of a utility class and whenever there are enemy thieves, they're just there to steal stuff from the chests and will avoid combat when they can. Not surprised that the Pirate and the Brigand tied. They are so similar, and they even serve the same general purpose in the game, simply being a bandit class that destroys villages. The only different is that the Brigand can cross mountains, and the pirate can cross water.

But I do know cavaliers and paladins are not unbeatable. The perfect counter classes for the cavaliers and paladins. Probably would be knights and generals due to their high physical def stat and decent attack stat maybe their skill stats. But the major problems with knights and generals would be their lack of speed and mobility and a lot of other problems etc. Also not being properly developed a perfect counter for the cavaliers and paladins.🙂
