Lissa

Discover Lissa's character bio, class options, support partners, and growth rates in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn how to best utilize her unique abilities and potential.

Lissa is Chrom's younger sister and a princess of Ylisse, but she's definitely not your typical royal. She's got a tomboyish attitude and is known for being super approachable and down-to-earth, making her one of the most likeable Shepherds. Don't be surprised if she's the one to crack a joke or let out a snort!

When it comes to her potential classes, Lissa has some interesting options that can really shape her role on the battlefield. She can aim to become a War Cleric or a Sage. Alternatively, she can take to the skies as a Pegasus Knight, which can then promote into a Falcon Knight or a Dark Flier. This latter path is particularly noteworthy because it allows her to pass down the powerful Galeforce skill to her son, Owain.

As for who she can form strong bonds with, Lissa can achieve an A Rank support with Chrom, Maribelle, Cherche, and Olivia. For an S Rank, which leads to marriage, your options include Kellam, Donnel, Frederick, Gaius, Gregor, Henry, Libra, Ricken, Lon'qu, Stahl, Vaike, and Virion. Her potential child unit is Owain.

Looking at her growth rates, Lissa starts off a bit fragile. Her HP, Strength, Skill, Speed, Defence, and Resistance growths are all rated C or D, meaning she won't be a powerhouse in those areas naturally. However, she has an excellent A Rank growth in Luck, which can help her avoid hits and potentially trigger skills. Her Magic growth is a C, which is decent for her potential magic-based classes.

While Lissa can become a War Cleric, her Strength growth might not be high enough to make her a top-tier axe user. However, the skills she can gain as a War Cleric, like Renewal, are incredibly useful, especially when combined with Galeforce. She also has access to the Miracle skill. Her magic-based classes, Valkyrie and Sage, are often considered her best ending classes due to her Magic growth.
