Fighter

Learn about the Fighter class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Discover its strengths, weaknesses, growth rates, skills like HP+5 and Gamble, and promotion options.

Alright, let's talk about the Fighter class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Think of them as your sturdy frontline unit, really good at taking hits and dishing them out, especially with axes. They're a Nohrian soldier, so they're all about that axe-fighting life. They've got high HP, which is awesome for survivability, but you'll notice their Defense isn't the best. Still, they can definitely pack a punch!

Here's a look at their growth rates, which is basically how likely they are to improve in each stat when they level up:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	20%
Strength	20%
Magic	0%
Skill	15%
Speed	15%
Luck	5%
Defense	5%
Resistance	0%

As you can see, they really shine in Health and Strength, which makes sense for an axe-wielder. Skill and Speed are okay, but don't expect them to be dodging every attack or hitting every time. Magic and Resistance are pretty much non-existent for this class.

When it comes to weapons, Fighters are all about:

Weapons
Clubs/Axes

Axes and clubs are their bread and butter. They hit hard, but sometimes they can be a bit inaccurate. Don't sweat the low hit rate too much though, you can always use forging to boost it up later if you really need to. The real power comes from their unique skills:

Skill	Effect
HP+5	Increases maximum health by +5 points
Gamble	Decreases Hit by -10 points in exchange for increasing Crit by +10 points

The HP+5 skill is a fantastic immediate bonus. That extra +5 HP can make a surprising difference, especially if you plan on promoting your Fighter into a class that might have lower HP growths. It's a nice little buffer that can help offset that lower Defense stat we talked about.

Gamble is a bit more of a gamble, pun intended! It lowers your accuracy by 10% but gives you a 10% boost in critical hit chance. This skill is most effective if you're using a weapon like a Killer Axe, which already has a high critical hit rate. For other axes or clubs, the trade-off might not be as worth it, so consider your weapon choice carefully.

When your Fighter is ready to move on, they have two exciting promotion options:

• Berserker: This is your high-risk, high-reward promotion, focusing on raw power and critical hits.
• Hero: A more balanced promotion, offering good all-around stats and access to swords.

Overall, the Fighter is a solid choice for a front-line unit. They might need a little help with accuracy sometimes, but their high HP and Strength make them a reliable damage dealer and a good unit to have in your army.
