Introduction ------------------------------- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ############################################################################### Good day. Welcome to my Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken Character Guide! If you've played this game, you know the frustration of not being able to revive dead characters, unlike most RPGs and Strategy RPGs. You also know that characters are irreplacable. This is why a detailed character guide is so important for this game. Characters can't be just dismissed and hired again. Once you have a character, you're stuck with it. Therefore, you'd be much better off having good background knowledge on the pros and cons of each character. This is a complete guide to the 43 members that can join your army. Basically, it has all of the information that you need to know on every character. Or at least I hope so :) I hope this will help you choose the characters that suit you and create your own playing style. And yes, I have used all the characters, so I know what I'm talking about. It isn't essential, but it would help a lot if your browser is able to read JIS characters. In any case, enjoy! Updated versions are available at GameFAQs. ############################################################################### /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ----------------------------- II.

Lyndis (Lyn) リン Joins At: Lyn Route: Prologue, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 15, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 16, start of battle Class: Lord >> Blade Lord Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword, Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 16 Def: 2 Str: 4 MDf: 0 Skl: 7 Mov: 5 Spd: 9 Con: 5 Luc: 5 Rsc: 4 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Str: +2 MDf: +5 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: B Def: D Skl: A MDf: D Spd: A Stat Expectations (Blade Lord Lv 20) HP: 46 Def: 15 Str: 21 MDf: 11 Skl: 29 Luc: 22 Spd: 30 Supporting Characters Eliwood(10), Hector, Florina(76), Wallace(15), Rath(15), Wil(17), Kent(30) Comments 9/10 Lyn's greatest weapon is, without doubt, her speed. She'll easily evade attacks and attack twice in a row, making her low defense insignificant. In any case, you'll be required to use her in many maps, so it's a good idea to keep her up to par. 2. Sain セイン Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 1, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 15, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 16, start of battle Class: Cavalier >> Paladin Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword, Spear After Promotion: Sword, Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 19 Def: 7 Str: 9 MDf: 0 Skl: 5 Mov: 7 Spd: 7 Con: 9 Luc: 4 Rsc: 16 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +2 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +1 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: -2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: C Str: A Def: D Skl: C MDf: C Spd: B Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 53 Def: 16 Str: 25 MDf: 10 Skl: 17 Luc: 18 Spd: 23 Supporting Characters Fiora, Serra, Rebecca, Priscilla, Louise, Isadora, Kent(30) Comments 9/10 Strength is always an asset, and Sain's got plenty of it; his strength almost always maxes out, although at the cost of low Skill. If you use him he'll be sure to become one of your main powerhouses. He's quite the womanizer, and it shows because his supporting characters are all female except for Kent :D 3. Kent ケント Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 1, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 15, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 16, start of battle Class: Cavalier >> Paladin Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword, Spear After Promotion: Sword, Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 20 Def: 5 Str: 6 MDf: 1 Skl: 6 Mov: 7 Spd: 7 Con: 9 Luc: 2 Rsc: 16 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +2 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +1 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: -2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: F Str: C Def: D Skl: A MDf: D Spd: B Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 54 Def: 17 Str: 21 MDf: 11 Skl: 26 Luc: 9 Spd: 23 Supporting Characters Lyn(20), Fiora, Sain(30), Wallace(15), Heath, Farina Comments 8/10 His strength's a little low, so he's not as useful as Sain. He tends to get higher skill than Sain, so use that to make up for strength. I had Sain and Kent supporting each other, so that added on to both of their stats. 4. Florina フロリーナ Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 3, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 15, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 16, start of battle Class: Pegasus Knight >> Falcon Knight Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 17 Def: 4 Str: 5 MDf: 4 Skl: 7 Mov: 7 Spd: 9 Con: 4 Luc: 7 Rsc: 16 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +5 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: C Def: F Skl: B MDf: C Spd: B Stat Expectations (Falcon Knight Lv 20) HP: 47 Def: 10 Str: 22 MDf: 20 Skl: 25 Luc: 25 Spd: 28 Supporting Characters Lyn(76), Hector(5), Fiora(35), Farina(35), Serra, Nino, Ninian Comments 9/10 What can you say? Fast, rarely misses, and does good damage to boot. It's definitely worth levelling her up early on, so start using her as soon as she joins. Also, the three Pegasus Knights in this game have a special group attack (see IV. Additional Information for details). 5. Wil ウィル Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 3, visit village Eliwood Route: Ch 15, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 16, start of battle Class: Archer >> Sniper Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Bow After Promotion: Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 2) HP: 20 Def: 5 Str: 6 MDf: 0 Skl: 5 Mov: 5 Spd: 5 Con: 6 Luc: 6 Rsc: 5 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +3 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +2 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: C Str: B Def: D Skl: B MDf: D Spd: C Stat Expectations (Sniper Lv 20) HP: 51 Def: 14 Str: 25 MDf: 10 Skl: 25 Luc: 21 Spd: 22 Supporting Characters Lyn(17), Rebecca(30), Dart(20), Wallace, Raven, Rath Comments 9/10 A very useful Archer. His strength gains are higher than Rebecca, but he loses out in Spd. I would say that Rebecca is better (because she's cute and because I'm biased), but they are both solid units to have, so which to use is almost entirely a matter of opinion. Using both is probably the best option. 6. Dorcas ドルカス Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 4, speak with Lyn Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Fighter >> Warrior Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Axe After Promotion: Axe, Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 3) HP: 30 Def: 3 Str: 7 MDf: 0 Skl: 7 Mov: 5 Spd: 6 Con: 14 Luc: 3 Rsc: 13 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Str: +1 MDf: +3 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: C Str: A Def: C Skl: B MDf: F Spd: F Stat Expectations (Warrior Lv 20) HP: 60 Def: 18 Str: 29 MDf: 8 Skl: 24 Luc: 19 Spd: 11 Supporting Characters Oswin, Bartre(15), Geitz, Vaida, Farina Comments 8/10 I like axe-users and characters with lots of HP and strength, so naturally Dorcas was always a key member of my team. He'll naturally get high HP and strength, but his skill and defense will also grow very well. His speed, however, is among the lowest of all the characters in the game. Once he's promoted, he can use bows to devastating effect against Wyvern Riders, which tend to be hard to kill. 7. Serra セーラ Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 5, speak with Lyn Eliwood Route: Ch 13, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Cleric >> Bishop Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Staff After Promotion: Staff, Light Magic Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 17 Def: 2 Mgk: 2 MDf: 5 Skl: 5 Mov: 5 Spd: 8 Con: 4 Luc: 6 Rsc: 3 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +2 Mgk: +1 MDf: +2 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: C Luc: A Mgk: B Def: F Skl: C MDf: A Spd: B Stat Expectations (Bishop Lv 20) HP: 37 Def: 9 Mgk: 23 MDf: 28 Skl: 20 Luc: 30 Spd: 25 Supporting Characters Hector(15), Matthew(5), Lucius, Erk(2), Sain, Oswin(10), Florina Comments 9/10 Godly. The only problem is that it takes forever to get her promoted because she can't attack with just a staff. But it's definitely worth the effort. She'll almost always do dual attacks and she'll evade blows handily. I usually choose her over the other healer, Priscilla. 8. Erk エルク Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 5, speak to Serra with Lyn Eliwood Route: Ch 14, speak with Serra or Priscilla Hector Route: Ch 14, speak with Serra or Priscilla Class: Mage >> Sage Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Anima Magic After Promotion: Anima Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 17 Def: 2 Mgk: 5 MDf: 4 Skl: 6 Mov: 5 Spd: 7 Con: 5 Luc: 3 Rsc: 4 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +3 Mgk: +1 MDf: +3 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: C Mgk: C Def: D Skl: B MDf: C Spd: B Stat Expectations (Sage Lv 20) HP: 46 Def: 11 Mgk: 20 MDf: 21 Skl: 24 Luc: 13 Spd: 26 Supporting Characters Serra(2), Priscilla(15), Nino, Pent(25), Louise(20) Comments 8/10 He's a decent magician, but he almost always loses out to Nino in the end. However, he'll surpass Pent by far, so he's not a bad unit to have. His magic is kind of low, but he has great skill, and he has the HP advantage which is Nino's only weakness. It's worth using him if you think Nino is a little too frail. 9. Rath ラス Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 6, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 21, speak with Lyn Hector Route: Ch 22, speak with Lyn Class: Nomad >> Nomadic Trooper Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Bow After Promotion: Bow, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 7) HP: 25 Def: 7 Str: 8 MDf: 2 Skl: 9 Mov: 7 Spd: 10 Con: 7 Luc: 5 Rsc: 18 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Str: +2 MDf: +3 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Str: C Def: F Skl: C MDf: D Spd: C Stat Expectations (Nomadic Trooper Lv 20) HP: 54 Def: 13 Str: 22 MDf: 11 Skl: 22 Luc: 13 Spd: 25 Supporting Characters Lyn(15), Wil, Guy Comments 6/10 Rath's a pretty mediocre character with pretty mediocre stats. He never becomes a killing machine like other bow users such as Rebecca. He can use swords after his promotion, but for some reason that doesn't seem like much of a bonus. He can't use ballistas either, while Archers can. 10. Matthew マシュー Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 6, visit village Eliwood Route: Ch 13, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 11, start of battle Class: Thief >> Assassin Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 2) HP: 18 Def: 3 Str: 4 MDf: 0 Skl: 4 Mov: 6 Spd: 11 Con: 7 Luc: 2 Rsc: 6 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +0 Spd: +0 Con: +0 Luc: +0 Rsc: +0 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: D Def: D Skl: B MDf: D Spd: A Stat Expectations (Assassin Lv 20) HP: 51 Def: 14 Str: 19 MDf: 9 Skl: 23 Luc: 21 Spd: 30 Supporting Characters Hector(20), Serra(5), Guy(10), Oswin(5), Legault, Jaffar Comments 9/10 He's a great thief, and an even better Assassin! He rarely misses and almost always does dual attacks. His HP is also unusally high, so he can fight on his own. Once he's an Assassin, he really starts to kick butt. You've seen Jaffar in action, so consider two Jaffars in your team. Get the picture? However, be careful because Assassins can no longer steal items from enemies (I use Legault for stealing). 11. Lucius ルセア Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 7, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 16, speak with Raven Hector Route: Ch 17, speak with Raven Class: Monk >> Bishop Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Light Magic After Promotion: Light Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 3) HP: 18 Def: 1 Mgk: 7 MDf: 6 Skl: 6 Mov: 5 Spd: 10 Con: 6 Luc: 2 Rsc: 5 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Mgk: +2 MDf: +2 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: C Luc: D Mgk: A Def: F Skl: B MDf: A Spd: B Stat Expectations (Bishop Lv 20) HP: 40 Def: 4 Mgk: 25 MDf: 30 Skl: 25 Luc: 9 Spd: 24 Supporting Characters Raven(30), Priscilla(5), Serra, Karel, Renault Comments 9/10 Lucius's defense is devastatingly low. However, that's his only weakness. Dual attacks are a regular occurence for this magic machine, and they do good damage on each hit. Just don't send him out in the front unprotected; have some Warriors or Generals escort him. If you have him and Serra supporting each other, you need not worry about your Light Magic attacks :) 12. Nils ニルス Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 7, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 30, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 32, start of battle Class: Bard Usable Weapons: None Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 14 Def: 5 Str: 0 MDf: 4 Skl: 0 Mov: 5 Spd: 12 Con: 3 Luc: 10 Rsc: 2 Promotion Stat Additions (Bards cannot be promoted.) Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: A Str: (rarely increases) Def: D Skl: (rarely increases) MDf: A Spd: A Stat Expectations (Bard Lv 20) HP: 30 Def: 10 Str: 1 MDf: 18 Skl: 1 Luc: 23 Spd: 25 Supporting Characters: None Comments 5/10 He's neither useless nor particularly useful. He can make characters move again, but depending on your playing style, that may or may not prove to be a bonus. If you do decide to use him, watch over him because he's very frail and will get killed in a single hit if he can't dodge. Also, if you want the hidden map in Hector Route Ch 19, you'll need to have Nils be over Lv 7 in the Lyn Route. 13. Wallace ワレス Joins at Lyn Route: Ch 9, start of battle Eliwood Route: Ch 23 (boss is Lloyd), speak with Lyn/Sain/Kent/Florina Hector Route: Ch 24 (boss is Lloyd), speak with Lyn/Sain/Kent/Florina (see IV. Additional Information for more details) Class: Knight >> General Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 12) HP: 30 Def: 15 Str: 13 MDf: 2 Skl: 7 Mov: 4 Spd: 5 Con: 13 Luc: 10 Rsc: 12 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +3 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +3 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +2 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: C Str: B Def: B Skl: C MDf: B Spd: C Stat Expectations (General Lv 20) HP: 53 Def: 26 Str: 26 MDf: 16 Skl: 19 Luc: 17 Spd: 15 Supporting Characters Lyn(15), Kent(15), Wil, Vaida, Renault Comments 8/10 Unfortunately, he's basically forced to be promoted before reaching Lv 20. In the Normal Lyn Route, you're required to promote him, and in the Hard Lyn Route, if you don't, he'll get killed too easily in the Eliwood/Hector Route. Still, he's a very good character. His stats are decent, and he rarely takes damage from physical attacks so he'll do a great job as a wall. 14. Eliwood エリウッド Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Lord >> Lord Knight Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword, Spear Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 18 Def: 5 Str: 5 MDf: 0 Skl: 5 Mov: 5 Spd: 7 Con: 7 Luc: 7 Rsc: 6 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +1 Str: +2 MDf: +3 Skl: +0 Mov: +2 Spd: +1 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +10 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: B Def: C Skl: B MDf: C Spd: B Stat Expectations (Lord Knight Lv 20) HP: 52 Def: 18 Str: 24 MDf: 16 Skl: 24 Luc: 24 Spd: 24 Supporting Characters Lyn(10), Hector(72), Ninian, Marcus(25), Lowen(20), Harken(25), Fiora Comments 8/10 Put in a good way, he's a well-rounded character. Put badly, he's mediocre. All in all, pretty average. If you level him up, he'll still prove to be fairly useful. He has no major weaknesses, but there's nothing he excels in, either. His stats are well balanced, and his strength, skill, and speed will pretty much be about the same, maybe a little higher in speed. You have to include him in most battles, so you're going to have to keep him strong like it or not. 15. Marcus マーカス Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Paladin Usable Weapons: Sword, Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 31 Def: 10 Str: 15 MDf: 8 Skl: 15 Mov: 8 Spd: 11 Con: 11 Luc: 8 Rsc: 14 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: C Luc: C Str: D Def: D Skl: D MDf: F Spd: D Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 41 Def: 11 Str: 19 MDf: 13 Skl: 23 Luc: 12 Spd: 15 Supporting Characters Eliwood(25), Lowen(20), Isadora(15), Harken(20), Merlinus Comments 3/10 You might be tempted to use him up front because he starts out strong. He'll defeat enemies right and left in the early chapters, but he also usurps all the experience that should be going to other characters that will ultimately become much stronger than Marcus. You may want to include him in battle in case of an emergency, but try not to use him much. 16. Lowen ロウエン Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Cavalier >> Paladin Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword, Spear After Promotion: Sword, Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 2) HP: 23 Def: 7 Str: 7 MDf: 0 Skl: 5 Mov: 7 Spd: 7 Con: 10 Luc: 3 Rsc: 15 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +2 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +1 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: -2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: B Str: D Def: B Skl: D MDf: C Spd: D Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 60 Def: 24 Str: 18 MDf: 13 Skl: 18 Luc: 23 Spd: 18 Supporting Characters Eliwood(20), Marcus(20), Isadora(15), Harken(20), Rebecca Comments 5/10 Unusually for a character that starts out at a low level, Lowen won't become too impressive. He doesn't gain much of anything besides HP and defense, and his strength, skill, and speed will barely make it above 17 at Lv 20, PROMOTED. Can't recommend this guy. 17. Rebecca レベッカ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Archer >> Sniper Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Bow After Promotion: Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 17 Def: 3 Str: 4 MDf: 1 Skl: 5 Mov: 5 Spd: 6 Con: 5 Luc: 4 Rsc: 4 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Str: +3 MDf: +2 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: B Def: F Skl: B MDf: D Spd: A Stat Expectations (Sniper Lv 20) HP: 44 Def: 10 Str: 24 MDf: 15 Skl: 27 Luc: 24 Spd: 29 Supporting Characters Wil(30), Dart(35), Sain, Lowen(5), Louise, Raven, Nino Comments 10/10 Her low defense is insignificant because her speed becomes frighteningly high, allowing her to dodge most attacks. Her strength and skill usually max out as well. Without a doubt, the best Archer in the game. Pair her up with somebody to REALLY use her to her fullest potential. 18. Bartre バアトル Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 11, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Fighter >> Warrior Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Axe After Promotion: Axe, Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 2) HP: 29 Def: 4 Str: 9 MDf: 0 Skl: 5 Mov: 5 Spd: 3 Con: 13 Luc: 4 Rsc: 12 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Str: +1 MDf: +3 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +2 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Str: A Def: C Skl: C MDf: D Spd: C Stat Expectations (Warrior Lv 20) HP: 60 Def: 18 Str: 28 MDf: 12 Skl: 20 Luc: 16 Spd: 20 Supporting Characters Dorcas(15), Canas, Karla(5), Raven, Renault Comments 9/10 Another useful axe-user like Dorcas. Bartre has the speed that Dorcas lacks, making him a bit more useful. You'll also need to use Bartre if you want Karla. Like Dorcas, he can use bows after promotion, adding on to his versatility. 19. Hector ヘクトル Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 12, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 11, start of battle Class: Lord >> Great Lord Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Axe After Promotion: Axe, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 19 Def: 8 Str: 7 MDf: 0 Skl: 4 Mov: 5 Spd: 5 Con: 13 Luc: 3 Rsc: 12 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +1 Str: +0 MDf: +5 Skl: +2 Mov: +0 Spd: +3 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: D Str: A Def: B Skl: B MDf: D Spd: C Stat Expectations (Great Lord Lv 20) HP: 57 Def: 28 Str: 30 MDf: 13 Skl: 23 Luc: 15 Spd: 20 Supporting Characters Eliwood(72), Lyn, Oswin(20), Serra(15), Matthew(20), Florina(5), Farina Comments 10/10 The best of the Lords. For Eliwood and Lyn, you sort of feel that you have to keep them strong because you have to include them in many maps. For Hector, however, you'll want to use him. He'll gain levels quite easily and before you know it, he's at Lv 20, ready to be promoted. A key member to both the story and to your team. 20. Oswin オズイン Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 12, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 12, start of battle Class: Knight >> General Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 9) HP: 28 Def: 13 Str: 13 MDf: 3 Skl: 9 Mov: 4 Spd: 5 Con: 14 Luc: 3 Rsc: 13 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +3 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +3 Con: +2 Luc: +0 Rsc: +2 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: C Str: B Def: B Skl: C MDf: C Spd: C Stat Expectations (General Lv 20) HP: 59 Def: 29 Str: 27 MDf: 14 Skl: 21 Luc: 12 Spd: 18 Supporting Characters Hector(20), Matthew(5), Serra(10), Dorcas, Priscilla Comments 9/10 All of Oswin's stats will end up slightly higher than Wallace's because you can promote him whenever you want. It isn't a big difference, however, so you can use them both in generally the same way: take advantage of their very high defense and place them as walls to stop the enemy from getting too close. 21. Guy ギィ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 13, speak with Matthew Hector Route: Ch 13, speak with Matthew Class: Myrmidon >> Swordmaster Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 3) HP: 21 Def: 5 Str: 6 MDf: 0 Skl: 11 Mov: 5 Spd: 11 Con: 5 Luc: 5 Rsc: 4 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +5 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +1 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: D Def: D Skl: A MDf: F Spd: A Stat Expectations (Swordmaster Lv 20) HP: 53 Def: 11 Str: 17 MDf: 9 Skl: 29 Luc: 20 Spd: 30 Supporting Characters Matthew(10), Rath, Karel(5), Louise, Priscilla Comments 6/10 He's fast and all, but his strength and defense are pathetic. He won't be able to kill enemies in one shot even with dual attacks. You also have to keep watching over him because he's extremely fragile, and you never know when he's going to die. I never liked Myrmidons, but if you want one, wait until you get Karel or Karla. Sigh...where did Rutgar and Fir go? 22. Priscilla プリシラ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 14, visit village or keep Erk alive Hector Route: Ch 14, visit village or keep Erk alive Class: Troubadour >> Valkyrie Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Staff After Promotion: Staff, Anima Magic Initial Statistics (Lv 3) HP: 16 Def: 3 Mgk: 6 MDf: 6 Skl: 6 Mov: 7 Spd: 8 Con: 4 Luc: 7 Rsc: 16 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +2 Mgk: +2 MDf: +3 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: D Luc: A Mgk: C Def: F Skl: B MDf: A Spd: C Stat Expectations (Valkyrie Lv 20) HP: 37 Def: 12 Mgk: 23 MDf: 28 Skl: 24 Luc: 30 Spd: 22 Supporting Characters Raven(20), Erk(15), Lucius(5), Oswin, Sain, Heath, Guy Comments 8/10 A better healer but weaker attacker than Serra. Priscilla can rescue practically anyone in the game save some exceptions with a body size of 16. This helps a lot in boss fights because you can get someone out of harm's way, get out of the boss' attack range (because she's on a horse), and have the unit healed. So actually, you should use her more as a rescuer than a healer. She can use Anima Magic after her promotion, but you probably won't be using it much. 23. Raven レイヴァン Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 16, speak with Priscilla Hector Route: Ch 17, speak with Priscilla Class: Mercenary >> Hero Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 5) HP: 25 Def: 5 Str: 8 MDf: 1 Skl: 11 Mov: 5 Spd: 13 Con: 8 Luc: 2 Rsc: 7 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Str: +0 MDf: +2 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +2 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: F Str: B Def: D Skl: C MDf: F Spd: B Stat Expectations (Hero Lv 20) HP: 58 Def: 16 Str: 25 MDf: 7 Skl: 27 Luc: 14 Spd: 26 Supporting Characters Priscilla(20), Lucius(30), Rebecca, Wil, Bartre Comments 10/10 Very high and well-balanced stats except for his defense and magic defense. You can count on his strength and speed to max out, however, and he almost never misses because his accuracy is also above average. He's one of those rare characters that start out strong and remain strong throughout the game. Definitely the best sword-user. 24. Canas カナス Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 16 Side Story, visit village Hector Route: Ch 17 Side Story, visit village Class: Shaman >> Druid Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Dark Magic After Promotion: Dark Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 8) HP: 21 Def: 5 Mgk: 10 MDf: 8 Skl: 9 Mov: 5 Spd: 8 Con: 7 Luc: 7 Rsc: 6 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Mgk: +0 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +3 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Mgk: B Def: D Skl: B MDf: B Spd: C Stat Expectations (Druid Lv 20) HP: 47 Def: 14 Mgk: 25 MDf: 24 Skl: 23 Luc: 14 Spd: 20 Supporting Characters Pent, Nino, Bartre, Vaida, Renault Comments 10/10 This is your only choice for Dark Magic except for Athos, but Athos joins too late in the game so technically Canas is the only Dark Magic user. But this dude rocks! He looks cool, his personality is cool, and Dark Magic is the most powerful magic in the game. He does his best against bosses by using Luna, which penetrates MDf and does damage equal to the number of his Magic stat. 25. Dart ダーツ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 18, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 16 Side Story) Hector Route: Ch 19, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 17 Side Story) Class: Pirate >> Berserker Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Axe After Promotion: Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 8) HP: 34 Def: 6 Str: 12 MDf: 1 Skl: 8 Mov: 5 Spd: 8 Con: 10 Luc: 3 Rsc: 9 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +2 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +1 Con: +3 Luc: +0 Rsc: +3 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: F Str: A Def: D Skl: D MDf: D Spd: B Stat Expectations (Berserker Lv 20) HP: 60 Def: 15 Str: 30 MDf: 9 Skl: 18 Luc: 14 Spd: 28 Supporting Characters Geitz, Rebecca(35), Wil(20), Farina, Karel Comments 10/10 The best axe-user in the game, lining up with Hector. His strength and HP always max out for me, and he can put up a pretty good fight against enemies with swords as well. If you equip him with a Killer Axe, his critical hit rate will rise to become higher than 60, and even without critical hits, he can crush most enemies with constant dual attacks. 26. Fiora フィオーラ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 18, speak with Florina Hector Route: Ch 19, speak with Florina Class: Pegasus Knight >> Falcon Knight Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 7) HP: 21 Def: 6 Str: 8 MDf: 7 Skl: 11 Mov: 7 Spd: 13 Con: 5 Luc: 6 Rsc: 15 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +5 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: D Def: D Skl: B MDf: B Spd: B Stat Expectations (Falcon Knight Lv 20) HP: 48 Def: 15 Str: 21 MDf: 25 Skl: 25 Luc: 15 Spd: 28 Supporting Characters Florina(35), Farina(30), Eliwood, Kent, Sain, Pent(10), Geitz Comments 9/10 A bit weaker than Florina, but with higher defense and magic defense. You can use her in the same way as Florina. And then, there's always the Pegasus Knight group attack ;) 27. Legault ラガルト Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 19, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Lyn Hector Route: Ch 20, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Lyn Class: Thief >> Assassin Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Sword After Promotion: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 12) HP: 26 Def: 8 Str: 8 MDf: 3 Skl: 11 Mov: 6 Spd: 15 Con: 9 Luc: 10 Rsc: 8 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +2 Str: +1 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +0 Spd: +0 Con: +0 Luc: +0 Rsc: +0 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: D Def: C Skl: C MDf: F Spd: B Stat Expectations (Assassin Lv 20) HP: 42 Def: 18 Str: 15 MDf: 11 Skl: 20 Luc: 26 Spd: 30 Supporting Characters Jaffar(5), Nino, Matthew, Isadora, Heath Comments 7/10 A Thief, nothing more or less. I once promoted him instead of Matthew, but he wasn't too impressive. He's much better off as a Thief because his speed is very high. He can evade most attacks so you can send him off alone to do his job opening chests without having to send another character to escort him. 28. Ninian ニニアン Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 20, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 21, start of battle Class: Dancer Usable Weapons: None Initial Statistics (has the same stats that Nils had when you had him last) Differences are: Con: 4 Rsc: 3 Promotion Stat Additions (Dancers cannot be promoted.) Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: A Str: (rarely increases) Def: D Skl: (rarely increases) MDf: A Spd: A Stat Expectations (Dancer Lv 20) (Same as Nils) Supporting Characters Eliwood, Florina, Hawkeye Comments 5/10 Pretty much the same as Nils because Nils and Ninan's stats are shared (see IV. Additional Information). 29. Isadora イサドラ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 21, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 22, start of battle Class: Paladin Usable Weapons: Sword, Spear, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 1) HP: 28 Def: 8 Str: 13 MDf: 6 Skl: 12 Mov: 8 Spd: 16 Con: 6 Luc: 10 Rsc: 14 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: C Str: D Def: D Skl: D MDf: D Spd: A Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 43 Def: 11 Str: 19 MDf: 11 Skl: 18 Luc: 18 Spd: 25 Supporting Characters Harken(40), Marcus(15), Lowen(10), Sain, Legault, Geitz, Renault Comments 7/10 Very fast for a Paladin, but a little lacking in strength and skill. She rarely gets hit, and she usually does dual attacks, although she sometimes isn't able to finish off an enemy even with a double attack. She's pretty good if properly built up, so you can use her if you don't have Sain or Kent levelled up adequately. 30. Heath ヒース Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 21, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Lyn/Ninian Hector Route: Ch 22, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Lyn/Ninian Class: Wyvern Rider >> Wyvern Lord Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 7) HP: 28 Def: 10 Str: 11 MDf: 1 Skl: 8 Mov: 7 Spd: 7 Con: 9 Luc: 7 Rsc: 16 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +4 Def: +0 Str: +0 MDf: +2 Skl: +2 Mov: +1 Spd: +2 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: F Str: B Def: B Skl: B MDf: F Spd: B Stat Expectations (Wyvern Lord Lv 20) HP: 57 Def: 20 Str: 27 MDf: 8 Skl: 25 Luc: 13 Spd: 23 Supporting Characters Vaida, Legault, Louise, Priscilla, Kent Comments 10/10 Here's your lead Wyvern Rider. He's good in the "attack" area, with high HP, strength, skill, and speed. His defense is also high, but of course his magic defense is pathetic because he's a Wyvern Rider. He'll do fine as long as you don't put him near any spellcasters or bow-users. Bows are nothing to worry about after you get the Delphi Charm, but you'll always have to watch out for long-range spells like Thunderstorm and Purge. 31. Hawkeye ホークアイ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 22, speak with Eliwood Hector Route: Ch 23, speak with Hector Class: Berserker Usable Weapons: Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 4) HP: 50 Def: 14 Str: 18 MDf: 10 Skl: 14 Mov: 6 Spd: 11 Con: 16 Luc: 13 Rsc: 15 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: D Luc: B Str: B Def: D Skl: D MDf: C Spd: D Stat Expectations (Berserker Lv 20) HP: 56 Def: 16 Str: 25 MDf: 16 Skl: 18 Luc: 18 Spd: 15 Supporting Characters Pent(20), Louise(20), Ninian Comments 6/10 Being already promoted, he's no match for a well-built-up Dart, and it shows because his stats don't become anywhere near as high as Dart. However, he starts out with 50 HP, so you can use him as a wall if you don't have anyone else. Funnily enough, his HP never maxed out for me, though. 32. Geitz ガイツ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 23 (boss is Linus), speak with Dart Hector Route: Ch 24 (boss is Linus), speak with Dart (see IV.

His weakness stands out if you have Dorcas and/or Bartre properly built up. Use him if you're lacking in axe-users. 33. Pent パント Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 24, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 22) Hector Route: Ch 26, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 23) Class: Sage Usable Weapons: Anima Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 6) HP: 33 Def: 11 Mgk: 18 MDf: 16 Skl: 21 Mov: 6 Spd: 17 Con: 8 Luc: 14 Rsc: 7 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: D Luc: B Mgk: D Def: D Skl: D MDf: C Spd: C Stat Expectations (Sage Lv 20) HP: 40 Def: 14 Mgk: 21 MDf: 20 Skl: 22 Luc: 20 Spd: 23 Supporting Characters Louise(already A), Hawkeye(20), Erk(25), Fiora(10), Canas Comments 8/10 He's great when you first get him, but he tends to lose out to Nino once she's promoted. However, it's already late in the game when you get Pent, so you can use him throughout until the end. Use him paired up with Louise because their support level is A to start out with, greatly adding on to damage, critical hit rate, and evasion. His English name was at first suspected to be "Bob" :p 34. Louise ルイーズ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 24, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 26, start of battle Class: Sniper Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Bow After Promotion: Bow Initial Statistics (Lv 4) HP: 28 Def: 9 Str: 12 MDf: 12 Skl: 14 Mov: 6 Spd: 17 Con: 6 Luc: 16 Rsc: 5 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Str: C Def: F Skl: B MDf: D Spd: B Stat Expectations (Sniper Lv 20) HP: 40 Def: 11 Str: 19 MDf: 18 Skl: 22 Luc: 22 Spd: 24 Supporting Characters Pent(already A), Hawkeye(20), Erk(20), Rebecca, Sain, Heath, Guy Comments 8/10 Like Pent, she's very useful when you first get her, but she falls behind Rebecca at later levels. Her usefulness is boosted up significantly because she's at support level A with Pent. Pair her up with Pent to bring out her abilities to their fullest extent. 35. Karel カレル Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 25, speak with Eliwood/Lyn Hector Route: Ch 27, speak with Hector/Lyn (see IV. Additional Information for more details) Class: Swordmaster Usable Weapons: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 8) HP: 31 Def: 13 Str: 16 MDf: 12 Skl: 23 Mov: 6 Spd: 20 Con: 9 Luc: 15 Rsc: 8 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: C Str: C Def: F Skl: B MDf: F Spd: B Stat Expectations (Swordmaster Lv 20) HP: 39 Def: 13 Str: 20 MDf: 12 Skl: 29 Luc: 18 Spd: 24 Supporting Characters Karla(25), Geitz, Guy(5), Lucius, Dart Comments 8/10 Karel starts out with relatively high stats, so you can start using him as soon as you get him. You'll have to choose between Karel and Harken at this point, so if you're lacking a Myrmidon, choose Karel, and if you're lacking a Mercenary, choose Harken. If you're lacking both or already have both...well, choose whichever you like according to your taste. 36. Harken ハーケン Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 25, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Isadora/Marcus/Oswin/Lowen Hector Route: Ch 27, speak with Eliwood/Hector/Isadora/Marcus/Oswin/Lowen (see IV. Additional Information for more details) Class: Hero Usable Weapons: Sword, Axe Initial Statistics (Lv 8) HP: 38 Def: 15 Str: 21 MDf: 10 Skl: 20 Mov: 6 Spd: 17 Con: 11 Luc: 12 Rsc: 10 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: D Str: B Def: B Skl: F MDf: D Spd: B Stat Expectations (Hero Lv 20) HP: 46 Def: 19 Str: 25 MDf: 13 Skl: 23 Luc: 13 Spd: 21 Supporting Characters Eliwood(25), Isadora(40), Marcus(20), Vaida, Lowen(15) Comments 8/10 A bit slower but much more durable than Karel. Unlike Karel, Harken can be put up front without worry of being defeated because of his high defense. His skill and speed are a bit low for a Hero, but they're still high enough, so he'll deal damage nicely. I would say Harken is more useful than Karel. But Raven makes a MUCH better Hero than Harken. 37. Nino ニノ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 26, speak with Eliwood/Lyn Hector Route: Ch 28, speak with Hector/Lyn Class: Mage >> Sage Usable Weapons: Before Promotion: Anima Magic After Promotion: Anima Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 5) HP: 19 Def: 4 Mgk: 7 MDf: 7 Skl: 6 Mov: 5 Spd: 11 Con: 3 Luc: 10 Rsc: 2 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +3 Def: +3 Mgk: +1 MDf: +3 Skl: +1 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: +1 Stat Growth Rate HP: C Luc: B Mgk: B Def: F Skl: A MDf: A Spd: A Stat Expectations (Sage Lv 20) HP: 39 Def: 10 Mgk: 25 MDf: 25 Skl: 27 Luc: 26 Spd: 26 Supporting Characters Jaffar(25), Erk, Florina, Canas, Rebecca, Legault, Merlinus Comments 10/10 She joins pretty late, but this is the BEST Mage you'll ever have. She has higher magic, skill, speed, luck, and magic defense than most of the spellcasters. It will take effort to get her promoted and up to par, but it's definitely worth it. She'll kick the crap out of any enemy and can take out most bosses as well. Always have her in your team. Always. 38. Jaffar ジャファル Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 26 Side Story, start of battle Hector Route: Ch 28 Side Story, start of battle To get Jaffar you must, in Eliwood Route Ch 26 (Hector Route Ch 28): -have Nino speak to him -have him survive Class: Assassin Usable Weapons: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 13) HP: 34 Def: 15 Str: 19 MDf: 11 Skl: 25 Mov: 6 Spd: 24 Con: 8 Luc: 10 Rsc: 7 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: F Str: D Def: D Skl: C MDf: D Spd: C Stat Expectations (Assassin Lv 20) HP: 38 Def: 17 Str: 20 MDf: 13 Skl: 26 Luc: 11 Spd: 26 Supporting Characters Nino(25), Legault(5), Matthew Comments 10/10 His stats don't grow much, but it doesn't matter because they're almost at their maximum already anyway. Jaffar's main selling point is that it doesn't take much effort to strengthen him because his stats start out so high. Players new to the game might like that, but for me it's less fun than building up Matthew or Legault. But I gave him a 10 because you have to admit that Jaffar is indeed an immensely useful unit to have. 39. Vaida ヴァイダ Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 27, speak with Eliwood (if not killed in Ch 24) Hector Route: Ch 29, speak with Hector (if not killed in Ch 26) Class: Wyvern Lord Usable Weapons: Spear, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 9) HP: 43 Def: 21 Str: 20 MDf: 6 Skl: 19 Mov: 8 Spd: 13 Con: 12 Luc: 11 Rsc: 8 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: C Luc: C Str: B Def: B Skl: F MDf: F Spd: D Stat Expectations (Wyvern Lord Lv 20) HP: 50 Def: 24 Str: 24 MDf: 8 Skl: 21 Luc: 13 Spd: 16 Supporting Characters Heath, Harken, Karla, Wallace, Dorcas, Canas, Merlinus Comments 8/10 Basically, she's your emergency Wyvern Rider if you didn't build up Heath. Still, her strength and defense are fairly high, so you can use her up front as soon as you get her. I use both Heath and Vaida because they can support each other, boosting up their stats. She'll also do fine alone, however. 40. Renault レナ−ト Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 30, visit topmost village Hector Route: Ch 32, visit topmost village Class: Bishop Usable Weapons: Light Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 16) HP: 43 Def: 15 Mgk: 12 MDf: 18 Skl: 22 Mov: 6 Spd: 20 Con: 9 Luc: 10 Rsc: 8 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Mgk: C Def: D Skl: C MDf: C Spd: C Stat Expectations (Bishop Lv 20) HP: 44 Def: 16 Mgk: 13 MDf: 19 Skl: 23 Luc: 10 Spd: 21 Supporting Characters Lucius, Canas, Isadora, Wallace, Bartre Comments 6/10 Pretty sad stats for a promoted Lv 16 Bishop. However, you should get him because he's carrying the Light Magic spell Divine, and the Reserve staff, which can heal multiple targets at once. He's useless in a fight because his magic is much too low. Stick to Lucius and Serra for Bishops. Even if you didn't build up Lucius and Serra, you'll soon get Athos, so don't bother using Renault. 41. Farina ファリナ Joins at Hector Route: Ch 25, pay 20000G when she speaks to Hector Class: Pegasus Knight >> Falcon Knight Usable Weapons Before Promotion: Spear After Promotion: Spear, Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 12) HP: 24 Def: 10 Str: 10 MDf: 12 Skl: 13 Mov: 7 Spd: 14 Con: 5 Luc: 10 Rsc: 15 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +5 Def: +2 Str: +2 MDf: +2 Skl: +0 Mov: +1 Spd: +0 Con: +1 Luc: +0 Rsc: -1 Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: B Str: B Def: C Skl: B MDf: C Spd: B Stat Expectations (Falcon Knight Lv 20) HP: 49 Def: 19 Str: 23 MDf: 23 Skl: 24 Luc: 23 Spd: 26 Supporting Characters Hector, Fiora(30), Florina(35), Kent, Karla, Dart, Dorcas Comments 10/10 She's worth the fortune you have to spend to obtain her. She has the highest attack of the three Pegasus Knights, and pretty decent defense as well. You can send her right up front (as long as there aren't any Archers) and have her plow through enemies. You can finally use the Pegasus Knight group attack when you get Farina ;) 42. Karla カアラ Joins at Hector Route: Ch 31 Side Story (see IV. Additional Information) Class: Swordmaster Usable Weapons: Sword Initial Statistics (Lv 5) HP: 29 Def: 11 Str: 14 MDf: 12 Skl: 21 Mov: 6 Spd: 18 Con: 7 Luc: 16 Rsc: 6 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate HP: B Luc: D Str: D Def: F Skl: B MDf: F Spd: B Stat Expectations (Paladin Lv 20) HP: 38 Def: 12 Str: 17 MDf: 15 Skl: 27 Luc: 22 Spd: 27 Supporting Characters Bartre(5), Karel(25), Farina, Vaida Comments 8/10 Pretty much the same as Karel. Sometimes Karel will have higher stats, and at other times, Karla's will be higher. You'll have to level her up a bit before using her because she joins so late at a low level. Karla is also arguably the hardest character to find. 43. Athos アトス Joins at Eliwood Route: Last Chapter, start of battle Hector Route: Last Chapter, start of battle Class: Archsage Usable Weapons: Anima Magic, Light Magic, Dark Magic, Staff Initial Statistics (Lv 20) HP: 40 Def: 20 Mgk: 30 MDf: 30 Skl: 24 Mov: 6 Spd: 20 Con: 9 Luc: 25 Rsc: 8 Promotion Stat Additions (already promoted) Stat Growth Rate (None of his stats increase because he's already at Lv 20.) Stat Expectations (Archsage Lv 20) (Already at Lv 20) Supporting Characters: None Comments 8/10 Many say that he makes the final battle too easy with his demonic stats and ability to use all types of magic at S level. But no character is perfect; Athos' HP and defense are pretty low, so he'll get killed fairly easily, especially with all the powerful enemies in the Last Chapter. So have him attack with his spells from a distance that doesn't allow enemy retaliation. Extra: Merlinus マリナス Joins at Eliwood Route: Ch 14, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 13 Side Story) Hector Route: Ch 14, start of battle (if not killed in Ch 13 Side Story) Class: Transporter >> Trasporter (mobile) Usable Weapons: None Initial Statistics (Lv 5) HP: 18 Def: 5 Str: 0 MDf: 2 Skl: 4 Mov: 0 Spd: 5 Con: 25 Luc: 12 Rsc: 24 Promotion Stat Additions HP: +0 Def: +0 Str: +0 MDf: +0 Skl: +0 Mov: +5 Spd: +0 Con: +0 Luc: +0 Rsc: +0 Stat Growth Rate HP: A Luc: A Str: (never increases) Def: C Skl: A MDf: F Spd: A Stat Expectations (Transporter Lv 9) HP: 45 Def: 11 Str: 0 MDf: 5 Skl: 20 Luc: 30 Spd: 20 (Level 9 is the highest he'll ever reach.) Supporting Characters Nino, Vaida, Marcus Comments --/-- I can't really rate him because he's not a fighting character. But, Merlinus is essential. There is no way you can get all the items you need without Merlinus to take care of them for you. His evasion is unusally high so you don't really need to leave anyone to guard him. Also, if you missed the Chapter 13 Side Story, he'll join automatically in Chapter 16 (Hector Route Chapter 17). I never knew that he had supporting characters until I noticed one day that he had a support conversation with Nino. ############################################################################### /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ------------------------- IV.

Wallace and Geitz 6. Karel and Harken 7. Karla 8. The Pegasus Knight Group Attack 9. Support Conversations _________________________ 1. Promotion Requirements _________________________ Here's a quick list of each class' promotion requirements, so it wouldn't take up space in the Characters section. Update 1/21/04 Thanks to Nightshade_013 for correcting me on the English names for the items. Lord ロード Blade Lord ブレイドロード Lord Knight ロードナイト Use Heaven Seal after Lv 10 Great Lord グレイトロード Cavalier ソシアルナイト Paladin パラディン Use Knight's Medal/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Knight アーマーナイト General ジェネラル Use Knight's Medal/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Pegasus Knight ペガサスナイト Falcon Knight ファルコンナイト Use Sky Whip/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Wyvern Rider ドラゴンナイト Wyvern Lord ドラゴンマスター Use Sky Whip/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Fighter 戦士 Warrior ウォーリア Use Hero's Crest/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Mercenary 傭兵 Hero 勇者 Use Hero's Crest/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Myrmidon 剣士 Swordmaster ソードマスター Use Hero's Crest/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Archer アーチャー Sniper スナイパー Use Orion's Bolt/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Nomad 遊牧民 Nomadic Trooper 遊牧騎兵 Use Orion's Bolt/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Mage 魔道士 Sage 賢者 Use Guiding Ring/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Cleric/Monk シスター／修道士 Bishop 司祭 Use Guiding Ring/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Shaman シャーマン Druid ドルイド Use Guiding Ring/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Troubadour トルバドール Valkyrie ヴァルキュリア Use Guiding Ring/Earth Seal after Lv 10 Pirate 海賊 Berserker 狂戦士 Use Ocean Seal after Lv 10 Thief 盗賊 Assassin アサシン Use Fell Contract after Lv 10 Bard/Dancer バード／踊り子 (Cannot be promoted.) Archsage 大賢者 (Cannot be promoted.) Transporter 輸送隊 Automatically changes at Lv 20 ____________________ 2. Promotion Bonuses ____________________ Some classes have special bonuses after they're promoted. Swordmaster: Critical + 15% Berserker: Critical +15% Assassin: Critical hits have a 25% chance of causing instant death ______________________ 3. Maximum Statistics ______________________ This is a list of all the class' stat maxes. Note that characters can reach max stats only after promotion. Also, these are the ABSOLUTE maximum stats. Characters will not necessarily reach these numbers. In fact, it is probably impossible to max out every stat on a character even with the aid of items. This is taken from Nintendo Dream's Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken guidebook. Update: 7/26/03 Thanks to WChan for pointing out some typos I overlooked. Update: 8/2/03 Thanks to gamersara, Dark Gaia, and Dark Koji for pointing out and giving me Bard/Dancer maximum Str/Skl stat info.

Nils and Ninian __________________ These two can be viewed as a single character. Here's why: When Nils leaves your team in Ch 10, his stats are kept in the game's memory. Then, when Ninian joins your team later in the game, she'll have the same stats that Nils ended up with. Ninian will also eventually leave your army (forgot when...), and her stats are kept in the game's memory. When Nils rejoins your team, he'll have the same stats that Ninian ended up with when she left. So they're basically one character, joining, leaving and rejoining at various points in the game. ____________________ 5. Wallace and Geitz ____________________ In Eliwood Route Ch 23 (Hector Route Ch 24), there are two different maps, one where the boss is Lloyd, and one where the boss is Linus. Wallace will join you only in the Lloyd map, and Geitz will join you only in the Linus map. You can only play one of the maps, so you can't obtain both characters. Here's what determines which map you play. At the end of Eliwood Route Ch 22 Side Story (or Ch 22 if you missed the Side Story), or Hector Route Ch 23 Side Story (or Ch 23, likewise): If the sum of Lyn's, Eliwood's, and Hector's levels is 50 or greater, you'll play the Linus map. If the sum is 49 or less, you'll play the Lloyd map. This is adopted from Nintendo Dream's Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken guidebook. __________________ 6. Karel and Harken __________________ This is another choice you have to make. Eliwood Route Ch 25 (Hector Route Ch 27) also has two different maps, one where the boss is Kenneth, and one where the boss is Jerme. You also only can play one of them. These maps are where you obtain Karel and Harken, but you can only obtain one. Unlike Wallace and Geitz, you can obtain Karel or Harken in either map, but the conditions you have to fulfill differ according to which map you play. First off, here is what determines which map you play. At the end of Eliwood Route Ch 24 (Hector Route Ch 26): If the sum of the levels GAINED (NOT the sum of the levels themselves!) by all of your Mages, Clerics, Monks, Shamans, and Troubadours is greater than the sum of the levels gained by your Fighters, Myrmidons, and Mercenaries, you will play the Kenneth map. If it is the opposite, you will play the Jerme map. (I'm not sure what happens if they're equal.) As I said, you can choose between Karel and Harken regardless of which map you're playing, but the conditions vary with each map. For the Kenneth map: Defeat more than 3 promoted enemies (eg. Bishops, Generals, etc) by the 9th turn to obtain Karel. If you defeat less than 3 promoted enemies by the 9th turn, you get Harken. For the Jerme map: If you open more than 4 doors by the 9th turn, you obtain Karel. Open less than 4 doors by the 9th turn to get Harken. Choose whichever one you like :) This is adopted from Nintendo Dream's Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken guidebook. ________ 7. Karla ________ Karla is even more complicated. You can only get Karla in the Hector Route (Ch 31 Side Story). The map itself is very easy, all you have to do is "shop till you drop," but if you want to obtain Karla, things get difficult. First, to even get her to appear, you have bring along Bartre. Bartre has to be promoted to Warrior AND be above Lv 5. This shouldn't be a problem. After this comes the hard part. Next, have Bartre speak to Karla. A battle between Bartre and Karla will ensue. To obtain Karla, BOTH Bartre and Karla have to survive 1 turn of combat. Karla is carrying a deadly sword which has a frighteningly high critical hit rate, and her accuracy is also high, so Bartre should be well above Lv 5 to survive. Equip Bartre with a bow so that he won't accidentally kill Karla. If Bartre has a lot of HP, and if you're lucky, both will survive and Karla will join your team. You only have 5 turns to finish your shopping AND get Karla to join, so move quickly! This is adopted from Nintendo Dream's Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken guidebook. __________________________________ 8. The Pegasus Knight Group Attack __________________________________ The three Pegasus Knight sisters (Florina, Farina, Fiora) have a special group attack that you can use once you have all three of them. Consequently, you can only use their group attack in the Hector Route. To unleash this attack, have the three Pegasus Knights surround a single enemy, like this: P = Pegasus Knight E = Enemy P PEP Next, have one of them attack. That's it. They'll perform a cool move with a special animation sequence. It doesn't only look good, either; this attack ALWAYS has 100 accuracy and 100 critical hit rate! ________________________ 9. Support Conversations ________________________ Support conversations boost characters' stats when the supporting characters are within 3 blocks of each other. You'll notice that each character belongs to a certain element: Fire 炎 Lightning 雷 Wind 風 Ice 氷 Dark 闇 Light 光 Nonelemental 理 The elements of the characters supporting each other determine which stats get bonuses and how much they increase. Here's a chart, taken from かわき茶亭 Kawaki Chatei http://www.pegasusknight.com: Just look for the combination of elements of your two characters to see what bonuses they get. Damage is the amount of damage the character does Defense is the amount of damage the character can resist from an enemy attack Accuracy is the character's hit rate Evasion is the chance of the character to dodge oncoming attacks Critical is the character's critical hit rate Blank spaces indicate a zero.

Credits ---------------------------------- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ############################################################################### CJayC: Obviously... Nintendo/Intelligent Systems: For this game! Nintendo Dream: Where it's credited, that's where I used the guidebook. かわき茶亭 Kawaki Chatei (http://www.pegasusknight.com): I don't know where they get their facts, but it's amazing. I really have to credit them for that and thank them for allowing me to use their knowledge. People who help me out by providing corrections and comments: Thanks! Me: For creating this guide ;) You: If this has been useful to you, then I'm happy. ############################################################################### /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// --------------------------------- VI. Contact --------------------------------- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ############################################################################### I had to create a whole new section on this because my email inbox is getting flooded with email I don't want. I do have a life, and I don't want to waste time dealing with pointless email. Feel free to contact me with questions/comments at email and MSN: firelizard98@hotmail.com But please don't do the following. I will not respond to emails like these. -Don't email me with questions about beating the game. There are message boards with lots of friendly people you can ask. It takes less time to get a response that way, and my inbox doesn't get cluttered, which makes both you and me happier. There are also some Walkthroughs posted in the FAQs section, so they are also useful for reference. -Don't ask me questions that are answered in my FAQs or in any other FAQs on the same game. It just makes sense. In fact, Juigi Kario has put up a nicely done FAQ on general game questions and the history of Fire Emblem. Newcomers should look there first. Dark Koji has a very good Character Guide, so please look there too. -I am fluent only in English and Japanese. Don't send me emails in French, Korean, Chinese, Martian, or in any language other than English/Japanese. I will not answer emails that I can't read in the first place. -Flaming. Pretty self explanatory. Don't do it. -Don't send me false information. It won't be tolerated, whether it is intentional or not. -Chain letters. Don't even think about sending me them. -Please don't send me anything over 400KB, either. -By the way, Roy and Marth are NOT in this game, so don't bother asking me. (I'm serious here, I've gotten questions like this.) -As you can see, the English names are now fixed, so I trust that I won't have to deal with any more "The names are misspelled" complaints. -BOTTOM LINE: GO TO THE MESSAGE BOARDS AND READ OTHER FAQS BEFORE EMAILING ME WITH QUESTIONS. You are welcome to email me about the following. -Corrections (make sure your corrections are correct). I make mistakes too. But don't email me with spelling or grammatical mistakes, unless they're so bad it's illegible. -CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and suggestions on how I can improve my FAQ are welcome. I'm still new to this and know that I have lots of things I can reform that I am unaware of. -Clarification on something that is unclear in my FAQs is welcome. That will help me make something that is not clear more so for future viewers. -I've had a few people ask for my opinions on certain matters, but that generally is okay. Okay? ############################################################################### /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ----------------------------- VII.
