Lucina

Discover Lucina's character bio, growth rates, class options, and support options in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn how to best utilize her in your playthrough.

Lucina is Chrom's daughter from the future, a princess dedicated to saving the world. She's fiercely loyal to her father and can be a bit serious, often missing jokes. Despite her strong exterior, she has a softer side, especially when you understand the difficult circumstances she comes from.

In terms of gameplay, Lucina is an incredibly powerful unit. She starts with the valuable Aether skill and can inherit classes from her mother, giving her access to a wide range of skills. Her growth rates are solid, particularly in HP, Skill, Speed, and Luck, making her a well-rounded and reliable fighter.

Player Opinion

Many players found Lucina to be one of their most successful units. When her Avatar parent married Chrom, she could inherit every available female class, allowing for immense customization and skill acquisition. Starting with Aether and the ability to support key units like the Avatar, Chrom, Owain, and Morgan, combined with access to an infinite weapon, made her a standout character. While the Great Lord class was a popular choice for its balanced stats and appearance, her overall versatility is what truly shines.

Her design is often praised for being less fanservice-oriented. Personality-wise, she's depicted as very loyal, with a tough exterior hiding a more sensitive interior. While her frequent use of formal address like "Otou-sama" (My Lord-Father) might seem repetitive, it's understandable given her backstory of a world where parents are lost. This connection makes certain story events, like confrontations, feel more personal and impactful when you've raised her.
