Magic-Focused Robin Build
A magic-focused build for Robin in Fire Emblem Awakening emphasizes maximizing their Magic stat and leveraging powerful offensive tomes. This build typically involves promoting Robin into advanced magic-using classes such as the Sorcerer or Sage. The Sorcerer class offers excellent Magic and Resistance growths, along with the potent skill "Tomefaire," which increases damage dealt with tomes by 5. The Sage class, while having slightly lower Magic growth than the Sorcerer, offers the advantage of being able to use both tomes and staves, providing a crucial healing or utility option in addition to offensive magic. Skills like "Vengeance," which deals damage equal to the difference between the enemy's HP and the user's HP (up to 20), become devastating in the hands of a high-Magic Robin, especially when combined with powerful tomes like the Fenrir or Ragnarok.
To further enhance this magic-focused build, prioritize acquiring skills that boost magical offense or survivability. "Lifetaker," learned by the Dark Knight class, allows Robin to recover 50% of their HP after defeating an enemy, providing significant sustain. "Rally Magic," learned by the Dark Mage, can boost the Magic of adjacent allies. Robin's personal skill, "Tactician," also remains valuable, providing hit and avoid bonuses to nearby allies. When considering inheritance for Robin's child, Morgan, a magic-focused Robin can pass down skills that complement a magical build, such as "Tomefaire" or "Vengeance." The strategic use of Second Seals to acquire these skills from other magic-oriented classes, such as the Dark Knight or Priestess, is essential. This build excels at eliminating threats from a distance, dealing massive damage to even the most resilient foes, and controlling the battlefield with potent magical assaults. Ensure Robin has access to several tomes, from the accurate but weaker Fire to the powerful but less accurate Ragnarok, to adapt to different enemy types and situations.
