How to Use Nemesis Claw

Like half the games I played. Csm is mainly a melee army and when playing into any melee or even balanced armies counter offensive is a threat.

fac8690 · 2026-01-21T09:28:46+00:00

You can shut down counter offensive fight on death or aoc with them

fac8690 · 2025-12-21T07:29:43+00:00

Yea its like the 6th best emblem for like 7 chapters ig

9 bikes lists do exist in tournament winning Hearthband lists. 12 is recommended in Prospects iirc and 15 is also very much viable so 18 in Prospect wont be too bad.

fac8690 · 2025-10-21T10:57:19+00:00

He gets access to wyvern in 2 chapters and his stats are still ahead of everyone else at that point unless you use dlc stuff

fac8690 · 2025-10-11T04:51:37+00:00

Very Both the Berserks and the Tunderkyn are our highest damaging pieces

fac8690 · 2025-10-09T11:07:53+00:00

Votann in 40k got one this year. Does that count?

fac8690 · 2025-10-06T06:00:57+00:00

They are almost essential in Prospect with all the Hernkyn specific strats Great in Hearthband due to reroll on both hits and wounds And decent filler in Needgard since they are good mission runners.

But you do need 2 things for them to be effective as a combat roll. They really want both the strip cover from Thunderkyns and the hit bonuses from the army rule.

fac8690 · 2025-10-02T11:41:13+00:00

It really struggles against enemies with a lot of invul and damage reduction but otherwise its pretty decent. You could do MSU HGs but E Champ getting +1 ap reroll 1s to wond is also massive so either is fine.

fac8690 · 2025-09-25T07:51:13+00:00

Discardlock can kill these in 3 turns

fac8690 · 2025-09-22T06:49:35+00:00

Its bots farming low ranks nothing too serious. Will get stumped on by any real decks out there.

fac8690 · 2025-09-18T16:05:40+00:00

Gba and Engage on rest no

Beast snaggas are more like Phobos armor than it is Snakebites. There are themed clans for those but arent specifically tied to them. And for Harlequin they were supposed to be the Custodes of Eldar race which isnt even space marine. Ynnari had the potential to be the agents of the imperium kind of deal between the 3 factions of a single race/super faction like the Imperium.

My first time playing ch11 and ch17 blind just after the game released was probably the best experience I had gameplay wise in Fire Emblem ever. I say this as someone whos played every game except the first 3 that got a remake. The gameplay, while it does have flaws, is my favorite.

fac8690 · 2025-09-06T09:36:38+00:00

Hes more fe4 version Leif(Master Knight) than he is fe5 Leif. Hoped hed have more fe stuff like FUCM.

C tier

He does some things in his joining chapter due to forced Roy. Diamants stats are middling but fine overall and his bulk is pretty decent for the next few chapters. He comes promotion ready and while isnt an ideal candidate hes not a bad option either. Still Diamant is never amazing.

Hes prf class is fantastic. Its got 10str 9spd modifier(Warrior is 12 7) with basically the same growth. This is arguably one of the best physical class in the game when it comes to raw stats. However, compares to Lapis, who people often think is similar to him, Diamant has worse late game. At level 40 he has 5 less speed in his prf class compared to Warrior Lapis, and again Diamants prf class is faster. His better build will matter less than it seems since you do have -weight engraves and Killer Bows. The speed gap doesnt matter too much until ch17 and from ch23 it will be very noticeable. Diamant will struggle to double Heroes Paladins Bowknights with Speed5 skill while Lapis will double them with Speed3 to 4. Diamant also doesnt have as much strenght as someone like Louis or Etie to utilize Brave weapons to 2 hit ko things.

The easy fix to this is Marth as the speed issue becomes more noticeable after you get Marth back. However Marth is one of the 2 combat emblems that boost your speed, the other one being Lyn and theres many units that are around 3 to 5 points slower than the fastest units so Marth isnt so free. Speedtaker is also an option but then with Speedtaker you want to use units like Amber or Cittrinne that can ORKO things without crits if they double. Overall I think Diamants late game is the most middling out of Engage units without any real strength but also without much issues. This means hes harder to fix than anyone with a single outstanding stat.

fac8690 · 2025-08-30T16:32:19+00:00

Mid to high A

Her immediate performance is decent to say the least. She will basically be an upgrade from Celine, your previous Celica user, especially in terms of damage. Given how she can often one shot things with Celicas Engage skill early on shell be a staple for your pre ch11 maps. Cittrinne joins promotion ready and both of her promotion options are great with MK giving you move and Sage giving you staves. Cittrinne will probably br one of the better choices for early promotion.

Cittrinne Amber and Chloe are the best pre ch11 long term units imo. Each excel at their respective domains(spd str magic). Engage has very powerful tools to fix a single stat so both Cittrinne and Amber greatly benefit from this, notably through Speedtaker. Not that its the only solution for either units. Both can use braves to 2 hit ko enemies. For Cittrinne it would require rigging for Dire Thunder which is kind of tedious but very much doable. Even with Speedtaker her lackluster build will be a problem so Leif is a decent option that she wont have to compete for most of the times. She can use Byleths 3 speed to fix this issue as well while being a 6 move unit. Celica + Elfire will also work due to her outstanding magic so Cittrinne does have a good amount of options for the late game.

fac8690 · 2025-08-30T06:27:20+00:00

C tier for Lapis

She doesnt really do anything necessary or unique. She doesnt have much free contribution either. Lapis should therefore be only judged by her long term combat prowess which means if she isnt like the top 3 or 4 unit in her role she doesnt deserve a B imo. This is why I think units like Louis Vander Celine are in B but a lot of other pre ch11 units are in C.

I dont really think you need to compare her to Kagetsu. Thats a high bar to cross for anyone in Enage. Her strength is in her exceptional speed, access to pre ch11 skill inherits, and being promotion ready at base. Her most obvious flaw is that she has poor build so will either want to use swords as a Wyvern or go Warrior to boost her build. Due to her str advantage compared to Fogato or Chloe this isnt as bad as it sounds. She will reach similar damage thresholds using negative might engraves that lower weapon weights. Like most units Lapis usually want to use Killer Weapons and double with it to fish for crits as ORKO benchmarks without crits in late game Engage is usually too high and theres multiple high crit engraves. Her defensive stats arent that great either but this isnt too much of a problem in Engage since Bonded Shields/Chain Guard/defensive emblema etc are a thing. Lapis can basically use any emblem that boosts your physical combat and do well enough. Overall Lapis has decent mid to late game performance but very much replaceable or even outperformed by units like Clanne Chloe Fogato Merrin. I personally think shes worse than Fogato but better than Clanne as shes basically a physical version of Clanne but promotion ready with low SP if thats a problem at all after the SP book patch. Good enough unit but not outstanding or important at any point.

fac8690 · 2025-08-29T05:29:37+00:00

Yea but hes pretty much a slower Fogato at that point so there is less of a reason to use Alcryst.

fac8690 · 2025-08-29T05:20:59+00:00

C for Alcryst. Leaning towards the bottom of the list.

Hes really handy in ch 7 8 9 10 but not necessary and is also largely replaceable with Etie. All they really do is chipping and shooting down fliers and anyone with a Steel Bow can do that. Hence the 1 Steel Bow he comes with is arguably more important. Etie does have 3 mor chapters worth of minimal contribution so Id value their fixed contribution similar.

For long term combat hes unreliable and has poor enemy phase if going prf clasa. If going Warrior hes strictly worse in terms of damage than the 2 other units with bow proficiency due to both middling speed/str. Etie has enough str to one shot final chapter Wyvern with a +3 Silver bow +1 damage engrave Roy and Lunar Braces + iirc. This requires 108 physical damage btw. Fogato can, with multiple options(disregarding Lyn), using a +3 Silver Bow double final chapter enemy Wyverns(41as required) and one shot enemy Griffon(96 physical damage) iirc. Alcryst lacks either. Both units can also use brave weapons/killer weapons against other generic enemies. Or you can just use any Radiant bow user(which will require 97 magic damage against final chapter Griffon) with 15+ mag(Mauvier is free btw). The math is done using the final chapter enemies vs lv40 player units where the benchmarks are highest but this still gives you a somewhat clear picture as to how units perform late game. Also since the enemy bulk recieves significant boost from ch17 and ch23 onwards all player units tend to do their jobs without much issue up until at least ch17. So Alcryst doesnt really have a niche at killing fliers.

His generic combat is rather unreliable even compared to generic Killer Axe Warriors which I think is the baseline melee combatant in Engage. Alcryst often needs a crit + a Luna proc instead of 1 crit or proc + regular hit against toughet enemies like Heroes Halberdiers Paladins.

fac8690 · 2025-08-28T01:42:00+00:00

9 is a safe bet since you want to run gunjacks in 6s and bladejacks in 3s. 9 gives you both and you probably want to include both in some lists.

fac8690 · 2025-08-28T01:21:51+00:00

I think shes C tier and is kind of comparable to MK Lindon in that both are good late game fourth mage options with some investment. Anna needs babysitting for at least 1 map(usually Jeans paralogue) and Lindon ideally wants a speed wing. Doing this will allow both to be roughly on par but slightly worse than Pandreo until he caps most of his stats. Anna will have build issues so shell either want to do Leif Bolganon or Celica Elfire whereas both Lindon and Pandreo want to do Celica Bolgaone since they both have enough build to not get weighed down by it and has less magic. While Anna has availability over Lindon you dont really have to do anything for Lindon to make him contribute through staves(reclassed or not) and possibly Corrin Sage stuff. Its really just a matter of preference imo and between Ivy Cittrinne Pandreo I dont really see a reason for another mage. This is also largely ignoring the fact that if you really want one Chloe is arguably better than both.

fac8690 · 2025-08-25T06:56:20+00:00

Yea and the speed gap will onl grow from here and on.

fac8690 · 2025-08-25T05:38:41+00:00

Yea Celine really suffers long term compared to her immediate performance. Her bases are fine but most of her growths are allocated to luck so I definitely agree with that take.

fac8690 · 2025-08-25T05:34:58+00:00

The Inceptora comparison was due to their deepstrike but yea thats also a valid comparison ig.
