Troubadour

Learn about the Troubadour class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Discover its stats, skills, promotions, and why it's a vital healer for your army.

Hey there! So, you're looking into the Troubadour class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright? Great choice! These folks are mounted healers, zipping around on horseback to keep your units in the fight. They're Nohrian, which means they've got a bit of a different flavor than some other classes.

Even though their base stats might seem a little low and their skills aren't exactly flashy, don't underestimate them. Having a healer is pretty much essential for any army, and the Troubadour's mobility makes them fantastic at their job. They can swoop in to patch someone up and then retreat to safety before the enemy can even blink.

Stat Growth Rates:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	0%
Strength	0%
Magic	10%
Skill	20%
Speed	10%
Luck	15%
Defense	0%
Resistance	15%

As you can see, they're not exactly built for taking hits or dishing out physical damage. Their strengths lie in their support capabilities, with a small boost to Magic and a decent chance to grow in Skill, Speed, Luck, and Resistance.

Weapons:

• Rods/Staves

Yep, their weapon list is pretty focused – they're all about using staves to heal and support. No attacking for these units in their base class!

Skills:

• Resistance+2: This one's straightforward – it just adds 2 to their Resistance stat. Handy for surviving those pesky magic attacks!
• Gentilhomme: This skill is learned by male Troubadours. It gives a -2 damage bonus to all male allies within a 2-tile radius. Basically, it makes nearby bros a bit tougher.
• Demoiselle: Learned by female Troubadours, this skill gives a -2 damage bonus to all female allies within a 2-tile radius. It's the female equivalent of Gentilhomme, making your ladies a bit more resilient.

Promotions:

When your Troubadour is ready to advance, they have a couple of cool options:

• Strategist (or Butler for males): This promotion really leans into their support role, letting them use magic in addition to staves. It's a great way to make use of their Magic growth and become an even more potent healer and magic-user.
• Maid (for females): This is the female-exclusive promotion, offering similar benefits to the Strategist path, focusing on support and healing.

The Troubadour might not be the flashiest unit on the battlefield, but trust me, you'll be really glad you have one (or more!) in your army. Their ability to heal from a safe distance is invaluable, and their promotion options make them even more versatile. Keep 'em safe, and they'll keep your team alive!
