Discover Owain, Lissa's son in Fire Emblem: Awakening! Learn his potential classes, best support pairings, and growth rates to make him a powerful unit.
Hey there! So you're looking to get the most out of Owain, Lissa's son, in Fire Emblem: Awakening? He's a pretty unique character with a flair for the dramatic, and getting him set up right can make him a real powerhouse. Let's break down what you need to know about him.
Owain's got a bit of a theatrical personality, which really shines through in how he names his weapons and his special moves. He's also the type to shout "Level up!" with gusto. He's a child unit, meaning he's recruited later in the game, but he's definitely worth investing in.
Owain's Potential Classes
Owain can branch out into a few different classes, inheriting some possibilities from his father. His base classes include:
- Swordmaster / Assassin
- Barbarian > Berserker / Warrior
- Priest > War Monk / Sage
The specific classes he can access will depend on which father you pair Lissa with, so keep that in mind if you're aiming for a particular class set!
Support Options
Building supports with Owain is key to unlocking his full potential and understanding his character. Here are the characters he can achieve A-Rank and S-Rank supports with:
- A Rank: Inigo, Brady, Morgan (Male)
- S Rank: Morgan (Female) (if they aren't siblings), Lucina, Kjelle, Cynthia, Severa, Noire, Nah
It's interesting that he can marry Lucina, even though they're technically cousins by default – it seems like only immediate family (parents/siblings) really matters for marriage in this game.
Family Ties
- Mother: Lissa
- Possible Fathers: Kellam, Donnel, Frederick, Gaius, Gregor, Henry, Libra, Ricken, Lon'qu, Stahl, Vaike, Virion
- Possible Sibling: Morgan (Female)
Choosing his father is a big decision, as it influences his class options and growth rates. For example, pairing him with Lon'qu gave me some great results the first time around, but it did limit his class choices later on. If you want more variety, try pairing Lissa with a father who has a completely different class set.
Growth Rates
Owain's base growth rates are pretty solid, giving him a good foundation. Remember, these will be slightly influenced by his father's stats as well:
- HP: B
- Strength: C
- Magic: C
- Skill: B
- Speed: C
- Luck: B
- Defence: C
- Resistance: C
He's got good potential in HP, Skill, and Luck, which are all valuable stats. The 'C' ranks mean you'll want to focus on skills or pairings that can boost his Strength, Speed, Defense, and Resistance if those are areas you want to improve.
Personal Opinion and Tips
Owain is a character who really grows on you. His dramatic flair, his references to past Fire Emblem games (like shouting "Radiant Dawn!" or "Sacred Stones!"), and his unique character interactions make him a memorable unit. He can inherit some really useful skills from Lissa alone, and pairing him with a father who offers complementary skills can make him incredibly powerful.
Don't underestimate the value of his supports, either. They're not only entertaining but can also provide significant stat boosts when units are adjacent in battle. Just remember to choose his father wisely to maximize his potential and class diversity!
