Nohr Prince/Princess & Hoshido Noble/Nohr Noble
The Nohr Prince/Princess class represents the royal lineage of Nohr and serves as the starting point for You character in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. This class is highly versatile, capable of wielding swords and lances, and possesses strong all-around stats. Their personal skill, "Rightful King", grants them a 20% increase in critical hit and activation rates for their skills, making them a potent force on the battlefield. This class is designed to be a powerful combat unit capable of adapting to various situations.
Upon reaching level 10, the Nohr Prince/Princess can promote to either a Hoshido Noble or a Nohr Noble. The Hoshido Noble path emphasizes swords and bows, granting access to the skill "Miracle", which has a chance to prevent lethal damage by leaving the unit with 1 HP. This provides a significant survivability boost, especially in critical moments. Hoshido Nobles also gain the skill "Galeforce", allowing them to take another action after defeating an enemy, enabling rapid map traversal and multiple attacks in a single turn. The Nohr Noble path, on the other hand, focuses on swords and lances, and grants the skill "Armored Blow", which provides +6 Defense when initiating an attack. This further enhances their defensive capabilities, making them excellent for tanking hits. Nohr Nobles also gain the skill "Rally Strength", which grants adjacent allies +4 Strength for one turn, bolstering the offensive power of nearby units.
You character is the sole unit that starts as a Nohr Prince/Princess. However, their ability to reclass into either Hoshido Noble or Nohr Noble offers significant strategic depth. Choosing between the two promotion paths depends heavily on the player's preferred playstyle and the challenges presented by the game's later chapters, such as the intense battles in Chapter 25, "The Final Battle." If You wishes to focus on offensive power and map control, Hoshido Noble with Galeforce is an excellent choice. For a more defensive and resilient unit, Nohr Noble with Armored Blow provides superior survivability. You character's unique position in the story and their powerful personal skill, "Rightful King," make them a cornerstone of any successful Conquest playthrough.
