Discover the Basara class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Learn about its unique skills like Rend Heaven and Quixotic, stat growths, and weapon proficiencies to dominate the battlefield.

Alright, let's talk about the Basara class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. It's a Hoshidan class, and honestly, it's a bit of a wild card. Think of it as a freewheeling warrior who's comfortable with both naginatas (lances) and scrolls (tomes). It's a pretty unique combo, allowing for both melee and magic, which isn't something most classes can boast about.

Most characters aren't really built for this kind of dual specialization, so it can feel a little like the class is a bit wasted on them unless they're a special case like the Avatar. But hey, even if the class itself isn't a perfect fit for everyone, the skills you can learn from it are seriously good.

Basara Skills

This is where the Basara really shines. You'll want to grab these skills!

SkillEffect
Rend HeavenSkill x 1.5 % chance of adding half the enemy’s Strength or Magic to damage (depends on what type of weapon the enemy has equipped)
QuixoticUser and enemy’s Hit+30 and skill activation rate +15%

Let's break down those skills:

  • Rend Heaven: This is your first skill, learned at level 5, and it's fantastic. It gives you a really high chance to add extra damage based on the enemy's stats. The only time it might not work perfectly is if you're using a physical attack and the enemy is magically inclined (or vice versa), because their relevant attack stat might be super low. But for the most part, it's a super easy way to boost your damage output significantly.
  • Quixotic: This one is a bit like a double-edged sword, but mostly in your favor. It boosts your own Hit rate and skill activation rate by 15%. The catch? It also boosts the enemy's Hit rate and skill activation rate by 30%! So, while you become more accurate and your skills proc more often, so do your enemies. It's a trade-off, but if the enemies you're facing don't have too many dangerous skills, this can really benefit you. Just be aware that the enemies will be a bit harder to hit *you* with, but their own skills might be more of a threat.

Oh, and as a fun bonus, the Basara's costume has these really cute tiger stripes!
