Nine-Tails

Learn about the Nine-Tails class in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest! Discover its strengths, weaknesses, skills like Even Better and Grisly Wound, and how to use it effectively.

Alright, let's talk about the Nine-Tails! This is a Hoshidan advanced class, basically a super-powered Kitsune. Think of them as wise, learned, and possessing a powerful spirit. They're really good at taking down enemy mages thanks to their high Resistance.

Stats & Growth Rates:

As you can see, they're not exactly tanks. Their HP and Defense growths are pretty low, so you'll want to keep them away from physical attackers. However, their Speed and Resistance growths are decent, making them excellent at dodging attacks and tanking magical hits.

Weapons:

• Beaststones

Skills:

• Even Better — Recovers 40% HP at the start of even-numbered turns. This is fantastic for keeping your Nine-Tails healthy throughout a long battle, especially since their HP growth isn't the highest.
• Grisly Wound — The enemy’s HP is reduced by 20% after any kind of battle with the user. This works like a poison effect but is way better because it triggers regardless of who attacks. It's a great way to soften up tough enemies before your main attackers move in.

The Nine-Tails really builds on what the Kitsune class does well. They're faster, have better Resistance, and are prime mage killers. The 'Even Better' skill gives them great longevity, and 'Grisly Wound' is a superb tool for chipping away at enemy health, making them easier to defeat. The main downsides are that this class is exclusive to Hoshido, and you can't forge Beaststones. Also, their physical Defense is quite fragile, so be mindful of that!
