Hayato

Learn about Hayato's stats, growth rates, and classes in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Discover if he's the right mage for your team!

Hayato is a unique character from the Wind Tribe, raised by their chief, Fuga. He's a bit of an orphan who acts all high-and-mighty, probably because he's sensitive about his height. Despite his baby face, he's a real prodigy when it comes to magic!

Here's a look at his stat growth rates:

Hayato has some pretty solid defensive stats for a mage, with good Health and Defense growths. This means he can actually take a hit from physical attackers, which is a huge plus for a magic-user! His Speed and Luck are also quite good, making him a reliable unit. Even his Strength growth isn't terrible, so he could potentially pick up skills from physical classes if you decide to reclass him.

His primary class is Diviner, and his secondary class is Oni Savage. This combination is interesting because it gives him access to both magic and some physical capabilities.

The main challenge with Hayato is that he joins at level 1 pretty late in the game. By the time you get him, your other units might already be close to level 20. This means you'll have to spend extra time training him up to catch him to the rest of your team. You'll also likely have access to Orochi around the same time. While Orochi has more extreme stat variations, Hayato is generally more balanced. If Orochi's really skewed stats weren't your thing, Hayato could be a more appealing alternative for your magical needs.
