This takes me back to when FEH was first revealed with Validar's art being showcased for the game. It took them over 7 years later to finally add him into the game. OVER 7 YEARS!!!
Personally won’t be building him myself cause I got my fair share of red mages just from grails (Zephia, Julius, Iago especially, Groom Robin), but man what a way to begin the new book. Here’s to hoping we’ll get some really good F2P units that can even contend with the modern meta speed and bulk
Despite the weird gen 1 base kit he has going, his weapon and stat allocations are still amazing, definitely gonna +10 him. I also couldn't help but laugh that the only reason not to invest is having too many mage nukes, that just gave me more of a reason to invest.
Gonna +10 him for sure, his true damage and the debuffs and status effects he inflicts is incredible. Also, I like how the only reason not to invest is because of already having many mage nukes when I always find there is room for more. Always gotta keep options open for new potential teams.
What a way to start book 8 with an insaneely good red mage unit. Solely relies on True Damage as his firepower to nuke his enemies. The only downside is that there's no DR piercing when against a solo enemy despite having the debuffs.
Man, feels like Awakening gets some serious preferential treatment when it comes to its baddies. Aversa was great for her time, Gangrel was solid, Walmart got a sick refine, and who could forget Yen’Fey? Very pleased on the whole!
Reason not to invest is having too many mage nukes huh? Yeah, that's not a problem, there's always room for more mage nukes, especially if they're free.
Really sorry for the delay on them. I have Adult ADHD and I have been having trouble with meds so it has knocked me off my schedule. I plan on making Ninja Banner + Saizo Review and I will be uploading them this month (likely before the trailer of the Legendary unit this month). Ty for your understanding!
As someone who collects and builds (if possible) every Awakening unit, Validar being this good was pretty motivating for me. This patch I finally used some of the fodder I had been hoarding for months if not years. As for the build, I went for a Stiill Water/Ploy but as I lacked any Tempo 4 or Magic NFU, chose Mystic Boost 4. It's bonkers how he reaches those numbers.
I view it as mix of a trolling and draw back The trolling from how his kit reflect early feh when he was showcased in feh announcement and of course the drawback of having a strong prf and good statline players will have to work harder to build up SP
It's weird too cuz normally they tend to give the good Grail Units unique fodder to cause an opportunity cost when merging them. (Lumera, Jeralt, S!M!Shez)
Ain't no way Validar would have gotten a prf this powerful if he was actually a gen 1 GHB, so the wait definitely paid off there, even though IS seemed to have forgotten to update his passive skills.
I wonder if the Gen 1 base kit (Except the weapon) was because he was planned to be released much earlier? Either way kind of surprised the art and his weapon go so hard.
Besides his weird base kit, he is pretty fun! Not having a cap on his true damage is crazy, especially without how many more new negative status effects we have gotten just this year. I think I'll just keep him for budget use since I've quite a few merge projects going on right now.
With so many sources of negative status effects, this is going to be massive true damage. Especially during Aether Raids, when the defensive team just has to have units near each other. You've got only 12 spots to put in six units. That means each defensive unit has at least units within 2 tiles (the exception being the units at the end). But probably more because most players have their defensive team with allies actually adjacent.
You do not see everyday PM1 talking about one unit that good. Wow, Validar is awesome! I was going to merge him but now I am going to invest a lot on him because I even do not have so many mage nukes so... there are so many reasons to build him and I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY BECAUSE HE IS SO COOL. I have been waiting so much SORRY ZEPHIA, HE IS COOLER
From what I can gather, while he’s no Black Knight, Validar seems to be one of the more popular villains in the franchise so I’m happy that they did him justice for all his fans - he seems really good!
Something to also mention is that unity is a big weakness of Validar, the difference between getting one shot and surviving with a good amount of HP. Also due to his low spd be careful of Duo Marth teams since hes gonna get nuked before he can even attack unless you have flash effect or hardy bearing on him
Oh he doesn't have any super boons? Dang, I was having a feeling there was probably a catch for him being a min maxed GHB unit. Still tempted to build him since I still don't have a red mage infantry but kinda sad he doesn't have any superboons.
If Freyr can cleanse his debuffs, wouldnt that only matter for the enemy phase? Freyr cleanses at start of his turn, so when its yours the penalties are active on foes right?
1. No, Validar can already reach 185 bst with +Res or +Atk IV. So using R Duel Inf 4 is not a valid choice (since Tier 4 Duel only score as high as 180 bst). 2. Validar is a great Arena scoring unit, having him ok Arena as a debuffer and a red mage nuke. I hope this helps!
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Nergal still isn't in FEH, even after 7 years and he's way more popular than half of the villains we have been getting as red mage GHBs. Out of all the Fire Emblem titles that have their main villains, Blazing Blade is the only one that doesn't have theirs.
Favorite GHB Unit in FEH so far?
🎬 More Unit Reviews! - czcams.com/play/PL-UHDqcwcC4jI8dJ6ybHIwDegOx8T_She.html
Astram. With Mercurius refine.
Iago, glad he got a good refine after all these years
Lumera. Ma'am got my back in both Arena and Engage LHBs
This takes me back to when FEH was first revealed with Validar's art being showcased for the game. It took them over 7 years later to finally add him into the game. OVER 7 YEARS!!!
I remember that, I was like "when are they gonna add Validar?" Glad they added him in later than sooner.
I remember how hyped I was to use Validar when I saw him, then I had to wait 7 years, worth the wait though
So that's why his passive skills are this outdated!
Where did they first show his art if I may ask?
I forgot about that detail.
Personally won’t be building him myself cause I got my fair share of red mages just from grails (Zephia, Julius, Iago especially, Groom Robin), but man what a way to begin the new book. Here’s to hoping we’ll get some really good F2P units that can even contend with the modern meta speed and bulk
Can't wait to build him up with Atk/Spd Ploy 3.
Despite the weird gen 1 base kit he has going, his weapon and stat allocations are still amazing, definitely gonna +10 him. I also couldn't help but laugh that the only reason not to invest is having too many mage nukes, that just gave me more of a reason to invest.
I like to think of it as bargaining, with a weapon that good it makes since he gets a pretty bad base kit
Validar with the tier 4 ploy skills getting that easy 16+ damage lmao
A very strong start to book 8 for GHB
Makes you think of the type of GHB prfs we could get
and then we get our first generic hero of book 8, wonder how long it will be until then
A seasonal inheritable rerun, take it or leave it
@@BringItAroundTown prfless GHB are a given but we will never be like Book 5 again
Gonna +10 him for sure, his true damage and the debuffs and status effects he inflicts is incredible. Also, I like how the only reason not to invest is because of already having many mage nukes when I always find there is room for more. Always gotta keep options open for new potential teams.
Yeah, he just needs a better base kit and he'll be even more incredible
I’ve been waiting for this video!
They just keep killing us with the insane free units that are joining the game.
First Fargus and then Validar, I hope they keep that train coming!
don't forget Kellam and Saizo, even though they don't have prfs, wish they did
Arion was awesome as well! I am not complaining about getting super unique F2P units like this
What a way to start book 8 with an insaneely good red mage unit. Solely relies on True Damage as his firepower to nuke his enemies. The only downside is that there's no DR piercing when against a solo enemy despite having the debuffs.
Yeah, they're starting strong, but the question is how long will it last until we receive our first book 8 generic grail unit?
@@saizoandoborobestduo6865 the world may never know
Finally, I can have my Fire Emblem Warriors mage boss team with Gharnef and Iago. There's going to be so many debuffs.😈
I want to see a video of that now, but I rather he take his time with the ADHD situation
Did you ever release a Ninja Saizo build video? I just wanted to watch you give your opinion on builds.
He said he's going to do a ninja banner + saizo analysis build video this month before the legendary hero reveal
@@bobwantstobattle9542 thank you
I am gonna wait for Kirya refine to know if I want to waste my plumes on Validar, it would be a shame if her refine was something similar.
It's about TIME Validar joins the game
IT'S ABOUT DRIVE IT'S ABOUT POWER, WE STAY HUNGRY WE DEVOUR, PUT IN THE WORK, PUT IN THE HOURS AND TAKE WHAT'S OURS
It's about time Validar comes to the game. Hope I'll be able to make a good build while still going around the F2P format.
me too, been f2p since day 1
Man, feels like Awakening gets some serious preferential treatment when it comes to its baddies. Aversa was great for her time, Gangrel was solid, Walmart got a sick refine, and who could forget Yen’Fey?
Very pleased on the whole!
This is what Arvis should have been
Hopefully resplendent adult tiki next
She is!
@@Pheonixmaster1 Yuuhuuu!!! That's the one I have been waiting for, Thanks for all the hard work.
@@Pheonixmaster1meanwhile, Azama is sitting in a corner waiting for his
@@Pheonixmaster1Yoo I'm waiting for the Brave Ephraim
@@Pheonixmaster1What about Azama?
Reason not to invest is having too many mage nukes huh? Yeah, that's not a problem, there's always room for more mage nukes, especially if they're free.
You can never have enough mage nukes, according to IS
Hopefully we can see Nergal soon in this game aswell as an important antagonist.
When Ninja builds? Like Saizo and the others?
Really sorry for the delay on them. I have Adult ADHD and I have been having trouble with meds so it has knocked me off my schedule. I plan on making Ninja Banner + Saizo Review and I will be uploading them this month (likely before the trailer of the Legendary unit this month). Ty for your understanding!
You don't understand I how I am as a validar lover to see him be this much of a menace after waiting years for him to be put in the game
Thanks for the excellent vid! I wasn't planning on building him up, but your vid is tempting me to 😅
Thank you for the review and builds=) He has an amazing weapon=) Considering him as my grail merge project=)

Man, Red tome infantry units are eating good at of lately! First Iago refine and now him? Now sure which one to invest in atm?
I know his weapon is good but did they have to give him a year 1 base kit?
I view it as mix of a trolling and draw back
The trolling from how his kit reflect early feh when he was showcased in feh announcement and of course the drawback of having a strong prf and good statline players will have to work harder to build up SP
@@MegaMaster1021could be more of an exchange of sorts too, like he got the good weapon and stats but a garbage base kit

Ain't no way Validar would have gotten a prf this powerful if he was actually a gen 1 GHB, so the wait definitely paid off there, even though IS seemed to have forgotten to update his passive skills.
He's going to be part of my Sabotage Team for sure. High fiving Cornelia, Mage Hilda, and Riev. Plus his Art is top tier.
8:56 Well would you look at that, Atk/Spd Ploy 3 is now a thing. Nice foresight PM1!

I went with Flare, Atk/Res finish, M.NF, and TP4. Will be +10ing him

For your Fire Emblem cutscenes videos, what did you use to convert them to 60fps?
You do not see everyday PM1 talking about one unit that good. Wow, Validar is awesome!

Sad that Hilda got overshadowed so much with this. I can't believe I am already hoping for a weapon refinement.
Definitely adding him to the list. I like me some big numbers. Why else do you think I still play this silly game?
Something to also mention is that unity is a big weakness of Validar, the difference between getting one shot and surviving with a good amount of HP. Also due to his low spd be careful of Duo Marth teams since hes gonna get nuked before he can even attack unless you have flash effect or hardy bearing on him
Definitely plus 10, might put canto control on him

Freyr cleanses at start of his turn, so when its yours the penalties are active on foes right?
He also has cleanse at start of enemy turn aka your turn, so no
Since he was revealed recently I have 2 questions
1) would he need R Duel Infantry 4 to score high in Arena?
2) How good would he be in Arena?
1. No, Validar can already reach 185 bst with +Res or +Atk IV. So using R Duel Inf 4 is not a valid choice (since Tier 4 Duel only score as high as 180 bst).
2. Validar is a great Arena scoring unit, having him ok Arena as a debuffer and a red mage nuke.
I hope this helps!
Valleygirl Validar gaming
Not gonna lie this reminded me how bad of a character Validar is after using him in FEH. But he sure is fun to use as a unit.
Beep Boop
Seems like IS is trying to make it up to validar for not putting him in FEH ever since his teaser all the way back
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Nergal still isn't in FEH, even after 7 years and he's way more popular than half of the villains we have been getting as red mage GHBs.

Neither does Echoes as Jeddah is not in the game
He seems very useful, but he’s such a jerk…
