While true that older units benefit from older skills, those same skills can be foddered to newer units that would have better prfs and better stats making them (usually) objectively better than their older competition.

That’s the issue with Feh using more fodder as their solution to power creep. It probably would be better if they were to have some buff to older units that are exclusive to them similar to dragon flowers but more effective.

Like many have been saying, I feel like it’s less that Feh is trying to solve powercreep and more like they’re just giving us better fodder (on top of the whole making a problem then selling the solution issue).

Sadly no amount of new powercreeping skills can make Rebecca workable. The only way I manage that is by pairing her with a shitton of supports (Astrid, Vika, V!Chrom...)

Fixing Powercreep with more Powercreep

They are definitely not trying to stop powercreep. Premium skills like Canto Control, Hold skills, level 4s in general are still locked to regular and limited 5 stars. It doesn't matter that Savvy Fighter exists to help speedy armors, it's tied to a seasonal locked 5 star. Unless you want to sack the only copy of Valentine's Lucina or you are a whale who gets many copies for fodder, no. Same with Distant Dart. Nobody is foddering their only copy of young Ike for DD. Premium units having premium skills does not fix older units. You still have to roll them and fodder them to make older units "better" and that doesn't solve the problem. Almost every new release has their base kit from the get go. Very rarely will they need new skills to get better, they are already there. Not to mention all of the newer units having premium personal weapons older units would kill for or having premium effects that'd be incredibly useful. My favorite example being Freyja vs Summer Freyja. Both can deny follow ups with their beast effect, but only Summer Freyja has null follow up. Having access to NFU or Null Guard is a godsend for many units but many of them don't have it at all. Better get yourself a copy of both Legendary Byleths so they can give them that Joint Drive NFU/NG. Do I need to get those Resplendent skins just to give my Lyn a small buff so she'll be better? I don't remember Dragalia making me pay money to unlock a mana spiral to improve original Euden. Guess IS just really wants that money for little gain.

We also have ridiculous units who do things only they can do, like Bride Catria with her "Joint Drive Triangle Attack" nonsense. Legendary Sigurd with his "Grant everyone extra movement for proccing the special" gimmick you see on every cav line team. Medeus with Canto Control but also his En Garde "Ha ha nice Bolt Tower strats, they are gone now" garbage. Duo Lyn and Duo Corrin with their high offense and self dance duo skills. Legendary Myrrh kicking Gatekeeper away to do his job but with actual good skills and stats. Fallen Edelgard, despite having many counters, still being a threat for the unprepared due to her damage reduction, raging storm, high hitting bonfire strats. Ascended Fjorm introducing Hardy Fighter and people giving to Brave Hector to make a tanky nightmare. Duo Chrom being and absolute powerhouse. Nott and the ridiculous things she allows with Pathfinder, as well as Duo Dagr doing the same thing.

They have done NOTHING to fix the problems they created, they've only made them worse. The game escalated so fast during the 4th year of the game. Looking at the third anniversary with Duo Alm and jumping ahead one year where we got Far Save/Near Save introduced, as well as getting Duo Lif. It's not even comparable how much stronger the unit's became. It doesn't matter if they've introduced some counters like Riev or stronger freebies like Summer Elincia, it'll only get worse.

So to tldr; no they are not.

It’s interesting that no one talks about the thumbnails. I don’t see why

I think that they aren't reluctant to give us good f2p units anymore. I think that first instant was with Yen'fay, and almost every following grail unit that had a prf was at least worth consideration. Hell even non prf weapon users like Ignatz, Shamir or Elincia are still worth using.

Kind of a head scratcher that Assault Troop can go on cavs...
maybe put it on L!Sigurd so he can somewhat bypass Stall Effects and for general usage to bypass trenches and gravity? adunno

I'm not sure I agree with this video, at least not the way it's framed for one thing and one thing alone: accessibility to the skills discussed. There're very little skills that we can reliably obtain from the summoning pool or grails, and it can be entire months that we go without seeing them, worse for the seasonal-only units.

Sure, the quality of recent free units has _somewhat_ improved, but the heavy hitters like Canto Control, Vital Astra and so on cannot be reliably obtained without waiting for focus banners, and even then, with FEH requiring cannibalization of units for Skill Inheritance, some people (like me) feel really discouraged from foddering rare skills, which in turn also discourages experimentation because what if we believe something could work but it actually doesn't? It's even worse in the cases of Mythics (and to a lesser extent Legendaries) when they are so important for their respective modes, Mythics more so than ever with them enabling the 7th slot in AR and their bonus rotation.

And this is just a part of the problem. The summoning pools are still horrendously bloated, and with Grail units becoming exponentially more expensive and even having a hard cap on the amount we can obtain, and Divine Code units _also_ being a one time deal, IS in reality just encourages to spend more, which is hell for F2P.

I really don't count limited time fodder as fixing power creep. You have to summon for rare units you probably want for the unit then kill that unit to an older unit. The biggest F2P friendly thing they've been doing is making GHB units not total ass anymore.
