The Most EXPENSIVE Characters in Fire Emblem That Gold Can Buy
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- In this video, I'm going to talk about Fire Emblem characters that cost gold to recruit, instead of the usual Talk conversation initiated by the Lords. These sorts of characters are otherwise known as Beowolfs. Named after Beowolf in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. This video contains spoilers for the following Fire Emblem Titles: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Fire Emblem: Fates.

#FireEmblem,
inb4 DLC memes. WELCOME BACK to another Fire Emblem video! *Please leave a like and comment to help with that SICK CZcams Algorithm.* And if you haven't subscribed yet, please consider doing so!!!
Edit: Hugh glitch because this comment is inevitable:
People who have played Gringe’s older versions of Gringe’s FE6 translation patch may be familiar with the Underflow Hugh glitch. This was a stat glitch which accidentally broke Hugh’s stat caps, then restored them to their appropriate caps upon suspend/resume. This actually came from Feditor, the old and buggy text editing program used by gringe for the translation in the first place. Feditor had an auto-patch that could surpass that stat cap of 31 by saving extra save data somewhere else, but because Hugh’s stat get reduced from the nature of his recruitment, it actually bugged out the patch and maxed him out. Playing the newest patch solved this issue. The more you know, I guess.

Is there going to be a break down of cost of dlc characters too? 3H I would guess would count as the most expensive
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Jaxson Ariel Instablaster ;)
@Jordy Stefan thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jordy Stefan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
Ah yes, the timeless ultimate moral debate: what's more worth saving? A human life, or a good ol' pair of Timbs?
Sometimes you just got to kill a man for some of those Jordan's.
Some Timbs are more important than humans.
Timbs for free
Reject human, return to boots
Fun fact about Farina: her name means 'flour' in Italian, so she's all about getting that bread.
hahahaha amazing
Yep! Together, all the sisters make "Flower", "Flower" and ...flour.
@@n00bplayer72 Farina is adopted confirmed????
"Farina" almost sounds like "Farinha" which in portuguese also means Flour.
That bread....not that dough?
iirc, the 10,000 gold you pay Beowulf with just ends up in his inventory. So you don't actually lose any gold, it just shifts to a different unit.
Beo: Hey what do you think you're doing?
General: Hired you. Gotta make sure your gear checks out. All that gold just slows you down.
Beo: . . . yall are cold.
@@Firestar4041 Arvis: Not for long...
@@Firestar4041 to be entirely fair, "gold" in fe4 is more like a representation of that units personal wealth. So beowulf is actually investing in himself and as a mercenary, that sort of makes sense? The stronger you are the more successful you are as a mercenary, so him buying that brave sword actually makes total sense.
*Shura on his knees begging for his life*
Xander: What should we do with this man, Corrin?
Corrin: Hmmm.... let’s kill him.
Leon: Man, that’s pretty ruthless.
Azura: How could you?
Elise: WHY?!?!
Corrin: I want his shoes. They look comfy.
Corrin would never willingly wear shoes.
And the word may never know why.
Why off an outlaw for boots? The world may never know.
I always like to think that the boots are made of shura
But when I killed him everybody seem to support me...
You know how in some families, it's really obvious which kid was named by the dad?
"Florina" is Latin for flower (floris)
"Fiora" is Italian for flower (fiore)
"Farina" is Latin for _flour_ (farina)
Farina is also flour in Italian
@@regalblade8171 Bruh, Latin is basically early classical age Italian.
@@manhphuc4335 Not even close
@@Morgan_of_the_Maxillabruh
Name meaning aside, isn’t Farina one of the possible wife for Hector? Never played Blazing Blade beyond Lyn’s story, but that’s what I heard. If so, welp...there goes Ostia’s coffers, or at least Hector’s wallet.
The Hugh stat changes blows my mind on how clever the Devs are, making such a small easter egg only diehard fans (ghast) will find
I thought you meant the Hugh glitch and my brain farted. But yeah. Hugh's recruitment conditions are really, really cool! 😊
I thought "you get what you paid for" with Hugh was decently well known (well someone anyways)
I mean it's on the wiki too so...
Holy crap its johne
Johne you absolute chad
Fates' Anna is the first beowulf archetype that cost real life money, followed by echoes DLC
@@TARDISES that’s a genius way of looking at it. She really did get me hooked on the free sample
Anna is a free character in FEH so she actually costs nothing there.
Ah, glad I don't give two shits about her in any way.
2 years later she is free again in Engage. And the first time one of the best Units in the Game.
She was more or less free in Awakening, I think, so why they’d have us pay real money in the next few games? Glad she’s free in Engage.
“Units that cost gold to recruit” also known as the smart ones
Except you, Rennac. Why the hell did you promote into a Rogue?

Shura: My boots? Did... Did you want em?
Corrin: Yeah yeah. Hey lets kill him and take his boots.
Shura: You can have me and the boots!
Corrin: Already made my peace. Make yours.
*kills Shura*
Corrin: I made my choice!!!!
Ngl “I made my peace, now you make yours” is honestly a really cool catchphrase that needs to be in an action movie
that would fit a cruel or "pragmatic" corrin like in fanfic but not the cannon one
still funny though
Number One: pretty much every single unit in FEH
Edit: I went off the thumbnail of this video to make this comment, so I didn’t see the ‘that gold can buy’ in the title. Oof.
Amiibo

GHB and TT units: I am a Joke to you?
Kiran: if you don't have good fodder or a good personal weapon *YES*
@@cotren8860 key words here being ‘pretty’ and ‘much’
Not only is RD Volke cheap to recruit, he has a base convo with Ike before you enter the tower where he gives you 20k gold. So really, he costs negative 17k as long as you have 3k up front and don’t kill him
You still get the conversation and the money even if you don't recruit him iirc. Although I may be thinking of Stefan.
Yes exactly, but this only occurs if you transfer and hired Volke in PoR to assassinate Ike if he ever went crazy from Lehrans medallion. He refunds the cash from that in RD since Ike has moved "above his skill level". Sad that this mechanic wasn't mentioned.
@@CannedCaineghis I got the convo without a PoR transfer.
@@valtinryu8147 Well, yeah it's canonical, so if you didn't transfer it happens either way. I worded my original comment incorrectly, if you transfer a file where Ike doesn't hire Volke it doesn't happen.
And when does this happen? After Ike promotes to Vanguard... and learns Nihil, negating even the Black Knight's Eclipse (basically just Lethality that bypasses Lethality immunity)
Fun fact about Volke! He'll still charge 50 Gold per chest in Radiant Dawn. There is _one_ chest you can have him open. If you attempt to open it with less than 50 gold, the message the game gives you is a placeholder, something to the effect of "IID_NOGOLD".
This is why I don't like to comment before finishing the video.
The message is actually "dummy"
Which is a valid placeholder message for programming, but in that moment comes across as the game making fun of you for trying
I actually ended up getting it because A: I perfectly spent all my gold before entering the tower, a perfectly reasonable thing to do as you can't spend money past that point, B: Actually planned on using Volke in the tower and C: my friends told me to do exactly that
I like how none of these characters are even in the Mercenary classline
To be fair some are mercenaries in lore.
The Echoes and 3 Houses DLC are truly the most expensive. Diving into your 4th Wall Wallet for them.
I never remember Shura's name, I just call him Boots.
And this is coming from someone who married him...
now im not saying youre a golddigger
he's actually a really good unit
@@TheRedScizor and yet when his life is weighed against the value of Boots, I choose Boots every time. 👢
People actually killed Shura for boots?
Waiting for the army management FE. Where you are the leader of a mercenary group and actually have to balance equipment, gold, units, and take jobs that pay.
Ngl that would be fun
It's already has management of equipments, units and gold
@@roxas4930 it would be really fun if done right, but incredibly lame if not
@@mathishd5558 not to the degree I'm talking about though. I meant like: Paying your units when you use them, but also paying for them on a housing basis. Hiring new units in an efficient way. Buying newer/better equipment. Taking jobs that pay, instead of pure story progression. etc.
Berwick Saga?
The Shura=boots meme is one of my favorites on the FE community. But ironically I never killed Shura in any of my Conquest runs, the guy is just too likable to bring myself to change him for a stat booster.
I always kill him
I marry the guy more often than not and I _still_ call him Boots!
I never knew there was a benefit to kill the bow ninja man
Same! In Fates' sea of dead and questionably moral parents, Shura is the nice uncle (great-uncle for the 2nd gens) this army needs.
You guys are too nice, meanwhile I NEED that +2 mov.

10:19- So about this story gold, it actually leads into something that I find kind of interesting and blows the cost of hiring any of these "Beowulfs" out of the water. [Warning- Minor Spoilers for Path of Radiance.]
For those wondering about the story gold that comes on this map, it was supposed to be Daein's payment for receiving the aid of Naesala and some of his Raven Soldiers. However, that 50,0000 gold is not all of the money that they were promised. After clearing that chapter, you get 70,000 actual gold for you to use. What this means is that Daein paid 120,000 gold for their services. While Daein never paid this gold since they were only supposed to be paid after and how Reyson persuades Naesala and his men to withdraw, I always found it amusing that the enemy in this situation were willing to pay more money than what most FEs will give you for just a single fight for one mercenary group and failed horribly. Granted the price does make sense since at most, Daein is paying roughly on average 7,500 gold per Raven if you count all the Ravens (16, Naesala included) that could show up on PoR Hard Mode, but that rate might be even lower for the common Ravens given how high Naesala charges for himself. Speaking of which, you also have to wonder how much Naesala himself was charging for him to take part in the battle since in an earlier chapter he toyed at the idea of himself costing triple the rates of what most Ravens charge for their services and how much the cost of hiring Naesala made up that 120,000 gold.
"The path I walk is cold...maybe these boots will help?"
For the new smash bros update, Corrin has magically acquired boots causing them to permanently move faster.
I honestly want a mod/remake of FE6 where Hugh would leave if you refuse all of this offers, then return to a later map, where he could only be recruited by Niime, who would literally pull his ear to the other team.
Saber costs a million buck gold dagger you can take right back from him!
Not only, you can take it and upgrade it, to a weapon *only* wieldable by the person who hired him. And he can't do anything about it.
Bet he was going to sell it to make some pretty penny with it, well so much for that.
I still can't get over the fact that Corrin deadass takes the guy he just executed's boots off of his corpse. Probably the most ratchet thing Corrin does in all of Conquest (and that's saying something).
Also I don't think I could make such a decision regarding Nyx if we were given the same option in Rev...though given that I was the guy that spent half a day training her up to the same level as the rest of my team in Rev, I guess that would go without saying.
Hey, sometimes you just got to kill a man for his boots.
@@DarknessDpa Good boots were kind off hard to get in those days.
Corrin really need those boots after walking barefoot for half the game even in snow.
Shura somehow managed to become one of my favorite units in Fates, I could never even imagine to kill him for boots lmao
He's a great unit and solid A tier
Respect your elders!
He's one of the few Fates characters that isn't a one-note personality, comes with plot-relevant backstory, has personal motivation for fighting outside of lord loyalty, and is solidly written all-around.
Outside of paranoia of him betraying you during a first playthrough (I admit the thought crossed my mind during mine), I don't know why anyone could possibly want to off Shura. He's just great.
@@0ctopusComp1etely Furthermore he is one of the few units playable in all three routes, and comes promoted lvl10 really early in Conquest which makes him quite unique as a unit.
I really wished that in Crimson Flower (Fe3h) If you didn't recruit Shamir, you could hire her in chapter 14 (Defence of Garreg Mach) for 25 000 gold since its quite clear that she would leave the army she is in for those numbers
Wish Three Houses had more recruitments in general. I get it doesn't really work for the game it is but still sucks.
YOU KNOW i traded Shuras life for those fresh pair of foams.... Can't win a war without my nikes
I actually have a funny story about Shura. When I played Conquest and was presented with the choice to kill him, I felt too bad to go through with it, but was terrified that sparing him would lead to him betraying me later on. Because of this, I decided to have my avatar S-Support him so he have too deep of an emotional bond to double-cross me. Of course, this fear ended up being unfounded, by I was still somewhat new to the series and it seemed like a legitimate concern to me at the time.
Units that cost gold to recruit.
So 90% of the Berwick Saga roster?
we're not talking about Berwick on this channel yet 😅
150 ......
The 50,000 story gold that Volke gets paid actually comes from the money Daein was going to pay Naesala. I always found that to be pretty cool
I honestly didn't know there was a benefit to killing Shura
Those boots can be what makes possible the endgame of Fates, Boots are probably one of the best items in the game.
@@zxylo786 Eh, there are plenty of strategies for dealing with Conquest Endgame on Lunatic, besides there are few characters in CQ more fit to trivializing the Ninja Cave than Shura.
The characters from the Fire Emblem Echoes Season Pass.
Awakening DLC too
Worst thing is that they aren't even that good lmfao.
Don't forget about 3 houses Anna
@@zxylo786 But the weapons are cool tho
@@Slendiamon we don't talk about three houses anna
Hugh is such an interesting character, and a weird unit. I love him to death as a unit and he's an amazing character... But he's not really worth his asking price unless you're doing the Magic cap glitch
Doesn't that glitch revolve around buying him for his cheapest price?
Dang. I'm probably too soft to kill a recruitable character, but if there ever was an incentive, it would be boots.
I just wish Shura had more supports
Yeah, like Azura. I was so confused why he mentions but they never get to talk with each other
Shura is one of the few good Fates characters and it blows.
Hugh's grandma still has headaches on her back
I used Hugh in two of my normal mode playthroughs, and he was equally as good as Lugh and Lilina. All three of them are solid units. Although maybe I just got lucky in those two playthroughs cause I'm surprised to hear that his growths aren't great.
Missed opportunity to talk about the Hugh money glitch :c
A week late but fancy seeing you here :o
@@michaellevin664 Same saaaame o:
I've always gotten Rennac in Sacred Stones, (using La'Rachel) but by that time I've groomed Colm for the rouge class. So I get him but immediately Bench him.
If you bought the guide book for the game back in the day, it basically tells you to use La’Rachel to recruit him, never mentions the option of paying for him. So that’s how I always recruit the bum. But like you, I train up Colm.
I honestly didn't know Rennac was a "Beowulf" I always just talked to him with L' Rachel since I knew he was with her and Dozla before, so she would obviously be the one to recruit him (Also with her it would be a bit easier to catch up to him with her 6 move versus the Ephraim/Eirika and their 5 move).
I also use L’Rachel to recruit the bum, so I never knew he had to paid otherwise. Then again, I do have a guide book (magazine really) that tells you to use L’Rachel to recruit the idiot.
5:36 He's in Grado castle, not Renais castle.
Should've mentioned Overflow Hugh, the glitch where if you recruit Hugh for the lowest price, suspend the game, then immediately promote him to Sage he gets capped Mag and Skill lol
I reclassed Shura into a berserker and he was a mad lad. High speed and skill, with enough hp to withstand a couple hits. I was really happy with him :)
The hugh glitch is one of my favorite parts of fe6
Thing about Shura, he doesn't begin as an Outlaw, he's an Adventurer when you recruit him.
But anyways, great video man.
Japanese slang nickname for Shura is ブーツさん
(Būtsu-san...i.e. boots or mr. boots). I guess like English fans Japanese fans can also reduce characters to their lowest common denominator.
For FE7 if you talk about the funds rank than promoting Dart can be similar to recruiting Farina (bit off-topic as it was not a recruitment cost). Maybe I always approached funds rank wrong as it felt like you both had to be ultra-frugal and keep track of things externally though I recall in modes with silver card it was somewhat easier (as you can turn gold into elixir to double it's value).
I feel like killing Shura is a sin.
Murder is generally considered bad yes.
Unless you're playing Sekiro, its a sin to not do it.
I'll take his boots to run away from hell then lmfao
@@joeyclemons8621 i mean yeah but those boots are just so good.
id rather have boots than Shura tbh
When Shura gets added to FEH I hope he comes with Odd or Even Tempest (a skill that increases movement on odd/even turns).... so I can kill him for boots!
Also the generics in the DS shadow dragon that require a certain death count of your own units
Don't forget Xavier from Thracia.
The cost: your sanity.
Trick question, it’s all of the characters from Three houses, as it is the most expensive at retail price!
In another case of "Kaga did it first", the mercenaries you do hire in Berwick Saga (i.e. most of your army) DO cost money every chapter, and the higher level they are, the more they cost. I mean, eventually they become free after you finish their personal sidequest, but those come only after MANY maps you play with them and you won't get most of them permanently recruited until 3/4 through the game. Really incentives you to go after those bullions and treasure chests in that game.
Kind of like Tactics Ogre, where every unit except Destin's has a deployment cost.
Here's a fun fact about Rennac, having a price that ends with 8 is basically the Asian equivalent of having prices that end with 9 in North America or Europe. He's basically saying "I'm not $100, I'm only $99.99."
I didn't even realize Rennac charged a fee.
Yeah same I was always using L'Rachel because I too have a soft spot for her, and her lines are always hilarious
@@halcyon_echo42 Agreed. I find it so amusing to see her due basically as Green Scorpion put it on his least favorite Fire Emblem "Pull Rennac back by his ears" even if I never use him since I like to to quote Oscar again "Make Colm an Assassin and just give him a lockpick"
I always thought that you were SUPPOSED to recruit him with her. Because they work together and such. Never in my life I'd think that he actually charged money.
Is everyone forgetting about Gaius? He was recruited over some sweets... 😅
So interesting thing about Volk in Radiant Dawn: He still takes 50 gold per chest or door you unlock with him, but by that point there is only one chest in the game. So what happens if you don't have 50 gold? You can't open the chest. but what's more is that if you then check the info box, the text will be "dummy", meaning that this is such a remote situation that the play testers never found it. (Source: BigKlingy)
Edit: Realized after writing that this was already in the video, whoops.
This is great - I have fond memories of grinding to make sure I had enough gold for Farina, just because I wanted to utilize the triangle attack for the first time!
Keep up the great work Ghast. I always spend the money on these units, and the highest amount on Hugh, even if I'm not planning on using him. I'm a sucker.
Two fun stories about the characters in this video.
When I first played radiant dawn, at the chapter when you recruit volke, spent all my gold on forges. I thought “it’s the second last chapter anyway, may as well.” I remember talking to him, exited to get one of my favourite characters from path of radiance back. Only for him to call me poor and just fucking dip.
In my first play though of conquest, I was under the impression that my choice to kill shura meant nothing (as does literally every other choice in fates lol). So I killed him thinking Elise would stop me or something. Boots were 100% worth tho.
Perfect timing. I’m in the process of doing Hector hard mode for the first time (with save states because holy shit is that mode tough) and am just about to recruit farina.
Where are you Rennac Gang???
Given that I'm a filthy casual that only started at Awakening, Shura is the only character on this list that I know.
I mean this vid is sorta catered to people like you...
This series has a lot of history, characters, etc. It's also actually done things before a lot of people want to see in newer games. Like a "darker story", people think Three Houses was the first game to do that when fe 4, 5, and 8 exist (albeit more implicit for 8).
Also, it's kinda disappointing recruitments have become much more streamlined and less complex ever since Awakening. Only really having "talk to enemy". Echoes doesn't count cause it's a remake.
@@korinoriz we need more Xavier recruitments
@@korinoriz at first, i was wondering why you considered 8 one of the darker games. after some thinking, i remembered that one character is all but directly stated to be a necrophile
The thing is, Beowolf's wage is still on the player's side because of how fe4 works, while the others just eat what you pay them or something.
I don’t think I’d be able to play Fire Emblem because I would get too attached to everyone and try to collect all of the characters
Then cry when they die
That happens to me too, every time I play a Fire Emblem game for the first time I always do the "No deaths" thing.
However by my 2nd or 3rd playthrough I'm always like
"Whoops healer died lol"
You don’t have to play classic. Don’t let them bully you into thinking you have to.
@@b.f.2461 He’s right, classic is for casual chumps. Real champs exclusively play Phoenix mode. I will say Conquest looses a little something on casual mode though. Take that with a grain of salt.
@@Zek3nator it’s a game. You play it on whatever setting you enjoy most.
Deen and Sonya are interesting cases as well in Shadows of Valentina... While they may not cost gold, Getting either one is in exchange of the life of the other.
My choice is always Sonya, after all she *was* the better choice in the original version according to a few, and that’s my reason. Besides, hot mommy witch is better than lazy looking nut.
(FE3H CF/Edelgard route spoilers)
I wish killing Claude in CF gave you Failnaught and/or boots, just to provide a material incentive for trying that choice out.
Lmfao, tbh I would probably pick the boots, sorry but boots are just so good.
At least the FE6 Illian and Lycian Mercenaries are explained by being paid off already by Hector and Eliwood.
Can’t forget Hughs magic stat can roll over and instantly cap out if you refuse his initial price and he rolls a few specific stats (I don’t remember which) and then he will immediately have capped magic.
I was waiting for this comment. This is called the Underflow Hugh glitch. It comes from Gringe's older FE6 translations. It's caused by FEditor (the hacking tool used to edit text, graphics and other stuff) applying a patch that allowed for stats to surpass the cap of 31 by saving extra stat data to another location. You need to break the caps, then suspend and resume and they'll reset to their max caps. The Feditor Patch freaks out when Hugh's stats get manually reduced from the recruitment choices. Gringe has since patched out the glitch.
@@Faerghast I did not know that, the more you know I guess.
@@Faerghast noooo I liked that glitch it didn't ruin the game
It's been like months after the unification of Valentia. I still wanna know where my gold is
Shura is a cool character, and he has a pretty good staff rank in a game where proficiency rank takes forever to upgrade.
I totally forgot about Conquest ch16’s gold mechanic, that’s so clever and I wish I had time to play Conquest again.
I think I’ve always kept Shura even without using him, because I just don’t want to kill characters
I picked Shura even though it would be really funny if Corrin murdered someone for footwear in the story
Man I haven't played Fates and I have no idea what I'm going to do when I have to make the choice with Shura. I always make a point to recruit and protect all possible characters yet I also make sure to collect every stat-boosting item. What an impasse.
I didn't even know you could pay Rennac. I always just took him up with L'Arachel lol.
I didn’t even know Rannuc could be paid, I just went directly to him with L’arachel and recruited him
Awesome Video! The only question left of my mind is:
what is the most expensive unit possible? Not just full characters but even Including buyable extra units like the Avatar log in Awakening or in fates. Where are the limits how expensive can you go?
Such characters do round things out in a world. The lack of such in Awakening might be a nod to perhaps the different atmosphere of the area (now and back in Marth's days).
Shura had one major flaw going against him. Lack of supports. He honestly should have atleast had support options with the other ninjas. Even though they were from different clans, i'm sure there was SOMETHING to draw conversation about between them. Also in revelations he is ironically kind of busted due to joining absurdly over leveled.
Ah, this was interesting! I’ve played several of these, but I still learned a lot here. As for me, I could never take the boots for Shura’s life, regardless of whether I intend to touch him at all. Say what you will, I really like to immerse and let my morals play a part in such decisions!
Beowulf is probably the cheapest of them
These scripted vids are so cool and interesting to listen to dude
Yes
Seeing these comments, now I want a video on dlc recruitable units.
Shura had those Jordans to die for
I didn't even know about paying for Rennac since the only time I've recruited him I did it with L'Arachel since I figured she was the only one that could.
the most expensive fire emblem characters are anna from fates and anna from three houses. they're so expensive that you need to spend actual money to recruit them. that's pretty meta. it's also pretty on-brand.
Shura be looking like Nameless from King of Fighters.
That's probably the best comparison I've ever seen.
I love Volke. Every time Lethality activated in RD it was the coolest thing.
“I feel we ought to spare Shura.”
“Eyyo but he got them Jordans tho.”
Kinda expected DLC units from Echoes and Three Houses to appear here.
I learned just recently that most of the cast in Berwick Saga could apply here.
TIME FOR MY MAN HUGH TO SHINE
Shura may be good but Azura needs her boots.
-Ah, Beowulf, the original FE base breaker. He's okay, I mostly pay to recruit him for the sake of completionism but I've used him as a dad and the stats aren't bad. (Brigid/Beowulf is underrated, he can actually pass down Pursuit and a decent sword to Patty.)
-Farina may be my favorite Beowulf, she's a great character and well worth the money she costs.
-I recruit Rennac with L'Arachel, always. FE8 isn't terrible with money since you can tower-grind for those gold chests, but the recruitment convo is funny and she has the range to grab him before he flees.
-Lilina is usually my main mage but I still pay full price for Hugh. I guess because I arena-abuse like crazy in FE6, steal all of the gems, and 10,000 is just a drop in the bucket. That, and he's actually pretty good and he's Canas's kid.
-Volke is another one worth the money, but mainly for story reasons. I don't remember using him as a unit a whole lot, but I try to because he's the only assassin in Tellius and I love his role in both games.
-OH YEAH I FORGOT YOU HAVE TO PAY TO RECRUIT SHURA IN CONQUEST.
Rennac is underrated as fuck. He's a decent enough unit with insane utility but it's so cute how he interacts with La'rachel. and she's the best character in Fire Emblem history so the association alone is worth it.
Almost forgot about Rennac because I think he was the only one who died in my playthrough when doing that post game area place (or something of the sort.
I feel dumb for not realizing but Shura drops boots because one of the outlaw skills are movement plus 1 meaning he just has boots
Kind of surprised that Gaius from Awakening and Saber from Echoes weren't brought up as honorable mentions. They don't actually cost currency to recruit, but they do require material compensation.
Gaius is more just flavor text (heh), but Saber actually does cost an item that Celica comes with. It does inevitably circle back into his inventory as a unit and you can take it back if you want, but Saber does nonetheless cost something to recruit (and it is, well, gold).
Saber's case makes sense when you realise he's one of Celica's brothers, and is only testing her resolve, not actually asking for pay.
Aye only 4 minutes old awesome love your content man
Shura’s my boy. I don’t think I’ve ever killed him.
Would say fates. You gotta actually work for some of the units and that's worse than any gold price out thier like Flore yukinura and Shura
Also Anna somehow managed to SCAM US OUT OF REAL MONEY
