Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation Speedrun World Record -
This is a speedrun of Fire Emblem 14 Fates: Revelation in 42:12 on normal difficulty for real-time, starting timing on file select after avarar creation and ending on fadeout after defeating Anankos. I ran this on a new 3DS XL with a delfinocustoms capture with Luma3DS - the game is installed digitally, region lock is disabled, and the new 3DS CPU (i.e. overclocking the hardware) is off.
Because Nintendo is a meme and Revelation will no longer be accessible on the 3ds eshop, we allow using the special edition of fates, which this run uses.
Corrin Build:
Female
Strength Boon
Magic Bane
Ninja Talent
Fantastic run, with only one notable timeloss. Earlygame benchmarks aren't as important in Revelation as Birthright and Conquest, but Corrin still needs basically every non-magic stat to pull through mid-lategame reliably.
It is usually worth running Casual Mode instead of Classic. Casual mode basically requires changing two extra settings that would otherwise be kept to faster defaults in Classic (Interface - Full, and Advanced Auto - On), so it loses time here.
Ch06 & Ch07 ideally get 15 and 16 strength respectively. NBD if Corrin doesn't, but this run did hit these benchmarks.
Ch17 Casual mode saves time - but only if 3 or fewer units are defeated. Otherwise Classic is faster.
Ch18 on turn 1, Ryoma crucially missed the oni chieftain, putting the entire strat a turn behind. This was the most significant timeloss in this run.
Ch22 Corrin wants to hit C swords before using the Arms Scroll, so she caps her sword rank to B
Ch23 capped strength with Corrin Statue isn't enough to 1RKO most enemies without relying on crits/procs, despite being on n0rm4l difficulty. Unfortunately, Corrin missed and failed to proc anything on a sniper, who then blocked the seize point.
Ch25 Corrin needs capped strength and 33 base speed to guarantee 2HKOing and doubling every enemy with a steel shuriken even if she gets debuffed
Ch26 Corrin needs capped strength with the Corrin Statue and S support Jakob to 2-shot Gunter with the sting shuriken
Endgame Corrin needs procs to 1RKO the left arm, which she got! More importantly, Ryoma 2RKO'd the right arm and didn't die! This requires good strength and astra and many crits. A 3-round costs a lot of time due to forced animations, and it's realistic for Ryoma to just die and kill the run - but speedruns have no other options. The 2nd and 3rd phases went very well. Fantastic endgame luck.
