Strength-Focused Robin Build
A strength-focused build for Robin in Fire Emblem Awakening shifts the emphasis from magic to physical combat, utilizing swords and axes to their full potential. This build typically involves reclassing Robin into advanced physical classes such as the Hero or Warrior. The Hero class offers excellent Strength and Skill growths, along with the valuable skill "Swordfaire," which boosts sword damage by 5. The Warrior class provides superior Strength and HP growths, and grants access to axes, along with the skill "Axefaire," which increases axe damage by 5. This allows Robin to become a formidable frontline combatant, capable of dealing significant physical damage to enemies. Skills like "Wrath," which increases critical hit chance when HP is low, or "Rally Strength," which boosts the Strength of adjacent allies, become highly beneficial in this build.
To further optimize a strength-focused Robin, consider acquiring skills that enhance their physical prowess or survivability. "Armsthrift," a rare skill that can prevent weapon durability loss, is incredibly useful for physical attackers who rely on powerful, durable weapons. "Rally Defense" or "Rally Resistance" can also be valuable for improving Robin's survivability on the front lines. Robin's personal skill, "Tactician," continues to provide a useful hit and avoid bonus to nearby allies, supporting their offensive capabilities. When considering inheritance for Robin's child, Morgan, a strength-focused Robin can pass down skills like "Axefaire" or "Swordfaire," which will be instrumental in Morgan's own physical combat effectiveness. The strategic use of Second Seals to acquire these skills from other physical classes, such as the Fighter or Myrmidon, is crucial. This build transforms Robin into a potent physical attacker, capable of cleaving through enemy ranks with powerful weapon strikes and contributing significantly to the army's frontline presence. Ensure Robin has access to a variety of strong axes and swords to maximize their damage output against different enemy types.
