Lucina Builds

Lucina, the princess of the future and daughter of Chrom, is a highly versatile unit in Fire Emblem Awakening, inheriting her father's swordsmanship and a strong aptitude for combat. Her personal skill, "Mark of the Exalt," grants her a +2 bonus to all stats when she initiates combat, making her a potent offensive force from the outset of any engagement. Lucina's base class is Lord, identical to Chrom's, allowing her to promote into the Vanguard class and gain access to lances and axes in addition to swords. This inherent versatility makes her a prime candidate for several build strategies, from pure physical attacker to a more balanced combatant.

Optimal builds for Lucina often revolve around maximizing her offensive potential and leveraging her "Mark of the Exalt" skill. Training her in classes that offer high Strength and Skill growths, such as Hero or Assassin, can significantly boost her damage output and critical hit rates. Skills like "Swordfaire" or "Lethality" can turn her into a deadly assassin, capable of quickly dispatching enemies. If Lucina inherits skills from her mother, the build possibilities expand even further. For example, if her mother is a magic-user, Lucina could potentially learn magical skills, allowing for a hybrid build. "Armsthrift" is another highly desirable skill for Lucina, enabling her to use powerful swords like the Falchion or Ragnell without worrying about durability. For support, Lucina benefits from units that can provide her with defensive buffs or offensive boosts, such as "Rally Speed" or "Rally Luck." Her strong base stats and "Mark of the Exalt" make her a valuable asset in any army, capable of handling many combat situations, from engaging powerful Risen to leading assaults on enemy fortifications.
