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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Like Pent, she's very useful when you first get her, but she falls behind

because she's at support level A with Pent. Pair her up with Pent to bring

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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.

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.

1. Promotion Requirements
_________________________

Here's a quick list of each class' promotion requirements, so it wouldn't take

____________________

Some classes have special bonuses after they're promoted.

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

__________________

4. 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.

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.

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: [email protected]

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?
