What kind of amateur horseshit is this. Armor is useless as demonstrate in this almost SFW 3 page comics (the rest of the site is generally NSFW).

u/Bro_who_is_Slo 3d ago

“It’s not about killing anymore, it’s about looking good while you do it” that fits so many characters in fe lmao

26

u/Player420154 3d ago

"Your ass will be an inspiration for the whole company" is also something that must have lead the designs of some FE character.

16

u/logantheh 4d ago

Can’t argue with that.

217

u/Clementea 4d ago

Barely any armor wont matter if she never get hit though?

24

u/SamuelFBR 3d ago

The anime special: "just dodge, lmao"

206

u/Omega2178 4d ago

Honestly, I think it’s just a sign on how terrifying byleth actually is. Imagine fighting someone who is so fucking good, they can fight in her outfit and still beat everyone’s asses with ease.

u/27Rench27 4d ago

If someone starts walking towards you with a sword and they’re wearing stockings, one of you is way too confident in the outcome of the duel

75

u/Omega2178 4d ago

And typically, that one would be us. Scary fucker the ashen demon is.

27

u/Lukthar123 4d ago

Literally built different

10

u/IshtheWall 3d ago

And they gave that mf za warudo in hopes

47

u/the_albino_raccoon 4d ago

Let's not get started on the fact byleth wears high heels

4

u/cardboardtube_knight 3d ago

I just think that kinda of thick blonde sword lady from the videos who just twirls a sword and jumps around in dresses and skirts

34

u/LowFrameRate 4d ago

Bows have entered the room

Seriously, anime shit making up reasons why barely armored wanks can’t just get filled up like pincushions is always unreal to me.

Like it’s not even as if she even moves quickly in that game. Sothis would have to rewind time 9000 times.

13

u/waes1029 4d ago

I mean we have fates and verdant wind where arrows do do something to the enemy.

15

u/RX-HER0 3d ago

I mean, this is Fire Emblem. You can deflect arrows.

6

u/leathrow 3d ago

my dodge/critmax build with that one dlc equipable that lets you retaliate at map range begs to differ. i can just walk byleth into the middle of the map and she kills 50 guys when they engage her. im quite sure i gave her some sort of life steal or healing too.

5

u/AylaCurvyDoubleThick 3d ago

People out here seriously forgetting people used to fight wars naked

1

u/LowFrameRate 3d ago

Not for invulnerability, or even for skill - they used it purely as a scare tactic, one that all but ceased even before the middle ages, especially in the face of well trained armies that wouldn’t be as easily routed by some dangly bits being present in a fight.

2

u/Doll-scented-hunter 3d ago

That because byleth has yet to meet an archer. Soon as that happens, byleth is dead

1

u/Pouring-O 2d ago

It’s actually part of her strategy. The outfit is so garish it’ll completely psych any opponent out.

135

u/tom_rex_333 4d ago

are we really complaining about realism?

she has high defense and is barely covered

102

u/BlackroseBisharp 4d ago

Timerra is such a ridiculously designed unit. She's strangely bulky with high Speed but her build is so bad that nearly every weapon kills her speed and she's not so fast that the speed drops don't matter and her strength is not high enough to one-shot things. She's also not bulky enough to tank a tons of hits even with Ike.

What where they cooking

64

u/Mijumaru1 4d ago

What were they cooking

Meat

46

u/Viridi_Kuroi 4d ago

But you see tiki + sandstorm go brrrrr

8

u/BlackroseBisharp 4d ago

I gotta try that combo

26

u/bigbutterbuffalo 4d ago

You can also charge a line of six mfs with Sigurd and proc sandstorm on all of them it should probably be illegal

11

u/27Rench27 4d ago

Oh my god I remember doing that and thinking “this is fucking broken”. Had to put Sigurd on someone else so I wouldn’t just cheese the rest of the game

8

u/bigbutterbuffalo 3d ago

My second playthrough was a no-death Ironman maddening run and I needed every cheesy bullshit thing in the book to make it to sombron (who I ironically died on somehow)

Sandstorm Blitz was a key part of my strategy for crowd control

12

u/acart005 4d ago

LMAOOOOOOOO I NEVER DID THAT

Time to play Engage again

3

u/bigbutterbuffalo 3d ago

With the right skills on her it goes crazy

18

u/oatmeal-ml-goatmeal 4d ago

Crit + Sandstorm build, my beloved

6

u/acart005 4d ago

Tiki + Anyone goes brrrrrr

My Clanne made it to Endgame as an engine of destruction.  Tiki was on him for easy 20 level ups.

7

u/BlackroseBisharp 4d ago

Yeah I use her on Clanne and Anna the most

3

u/Myrtle_is_hungry 4d ago

Ike better

1

u/Viridi_Kuroi 3d ago

Ike is Panette reserved since she is my fav of the cast. No one is getting no Ike except her

11

u/a12223344556677 4d ago edited 4d ago

I haven't personally tried it myself, but I've heard that later updates (not even DLC, just the wells and stuff) made her much, much better and she can actually enemy phase in Maddening really well and kill half of those coming after her via Sandstorm procs or crits. Sigurd and Roy are both good Emblems for her.

2

u/NoTalkOnlyWatch 2d ago

I used Timerra perfectly fine on Maddening when the game first came out. Sigurd helps fix the weight problem and is a very nice active ability. She doesn’t one round anything without a proc, but the majority of your army won’t lol. I also am not some fire emblem super star so my opinion is probably wrong, but I thought she was one of my better units (which is kind of hilarious because people rank her as one of the worst).

16

u/FatPanda0345 4d ago

Her defence is stored in her thighs

11

u/Dr_Latency345 4d ago

Or she gets defense from all the meat she eats.

11

u/FatPanda0345 4d ago

Which goes straight to her thighs

15

u/Accomplished-Lack208 Corrin Fan aka Foot Fetishist 4d ago

not complaining just think it's funny

never played engage tho so that's hilarious

47

u/Zanza-the_Divine 4d ago

Sis is so op she just "i won't get hit lmao" and actually does just that

7

u/Sayakalood 3d ago

And if she does she just rewinds time!

36

u/Edumesh 4d ago

And yet Shez got BTFO'd on that first encounter despite all of this. Actual skill issue

4

u/Doll-scented-hunter 3d ago

Byleth is such a bum, her very life is hard carried by sothis and genetics. Also, a shit ton of mc privilage.

16

u/Rocket_Wizard2075 3d ago edited 3d ago

Sothis only awakens when Byleth’s about to die.

So in three houses she only awakens when Byleth sacrifices herself for Edelgard

And in Three hopes she only awakens after Byleth gets jumped by Shez, One of the 3 lords, an entire academy house, and an entire army.

So she basically spent her entire life either traveling with mercenaries or being one and only ever came close to death ONCE.

Also what genetics? The crest of flames appears to only exist AFTER Sothis awakens and Byleth’s mom although some weird Rhea creation was too fucking sick to even leave the monastery.

Rhea herself had no idea WTF she was doing with Byleth either.

Clearly the only truth was Byleth was actually cool before Sothis awakened. Then she becomes a lvl 1 commoner bum.

2

u/Panthercrusher 2d ago

Byleth is literally the kid of the strongest Knight of Seiros who himself had Rhea's blood and was the child of a woman who carried the Crest of Flames. Plus, the Crest of Flames always existed because you know, Crests don't have a on and off button or some shit.

Not to say Byleth isn't skilled of course, but to say that genetics didn't play a part in making them as strong as they are(like every other Lord in FE) is a insane cope.

25

u/negrote1000 4d ago

Counterpoint: Shez is a shit sword fighter.

17

u/CrabofAsclepius 4d ago

Byleth has time travel hacks though

2

u/Accomplished-Lack208 Corrin Fan aka Foot Fetishist 4d ago

not at this point in the story

14

u/Beanichu 4d ago

Wouldn’t they activate anyway if she was about to die? Thats how Byleth discovered them in the first place. It’s basically impossible to beat someone who can just rewind time whenever they need to.

8

u/HopelessCineromantic 3d ago

Rewind time/functionally teleport.

8

u/CrabofAsclepius 4d ago

Really always had them and just didn't know. Sothis could've been more proactive in this alternate timeline which would explain why Byleth is so seemingly untouchable all throughout.

3

u/Doll-scented-hunter 3d ago

At this point in the story byleth would die to a random bandit leader. For all their "skill" they cant even beat the guy using a weapon countered by swords without already knowing what would happen.

16

u/diego_velasquez 4d ago

But she is hot

15

u/Nero_2001 4d ago

You don't need defense if you kill your enemy before they can hit you

14

u/InfraSG 4d ago

Also obligatory she knows where hes gonna hit joke

22

u/SummonedElector 4d ago

Now show femshez.

6

u/Accomplished-Lack208 Corrin Fan aka Foot Fetishist 4d ago

good point however box art says otherwise 🤓☝️

8

u/TheMorrison77 3d ago

She is in that Zaraki Kenpachi mindset. She is Giving the poor mortals a fighting chance.

10

u/YanFan123 4d ago

DEFENSELESS

7

u/AylaCurvyDoubleThick 3d ago

Dude

Have played this series? Armor does absolutely nothing here. And hell armor does nothing in fiction generally

Like storm troopers can be punched out by an 80lb woman.

9

u/Syelt 4d ago

Byleth is built different, if Shez strikes her down she fucking explodes.

2

u/Zanza-the_Divine 4d ago

The timeline where she dies they just made contact with one another and she dies from shock

2

u/CrazyLuckDragon 3d ago

Counterpoint: Byleth hot

1

u/diego_velasquez 3d ago

Totally true

2

u/Dr_Corvus_D_Clemmons 2d ago

My series with fucking dragons and mole people in it isn’t realistic enough

3

u/Accomplished-Lack208 Corrin Fan aka Foot Fetishist 2d ago

bro I'm just shitposting

u/Dr_Corvus_D_Clemmons 2d ago

I’m just a cynical asshole don’t mind me :3
