Camilla Build Guide

Camilla, a Nohrian Princess and Malig Knight, is a versatile unit capable of both powerful magic attacks and strong physical combat, while also providing aerial mobility. Her build should emphasize her mixed offensive capabilities and ability to support allies, making her a dominant force on the battlefield.

Camilla starts as a Malig Knight, a flying class that uses Axes and Tomes. Her personal skill, Savage Blow, deals damage to enemies within 2 spaces after combat, making her excellent for softening up groups of foes.

Recommended Class Path:

  1. Malig Knight (Base Class): Camilla begins as a Malig Knight. This class offers excellent mobility and allows her to utilize both physical and magical attacks. She learns Savage Blow at level 5 and Trample at level 15.
  2. Wyvern Lord (Reclass Option): Reclassing to a Wyvern Lord focuses more on her physical strength and defense, while still maintaining flight. This class learns Strength +2 at level 1 and Lunge at level 10.
  3. Sorcerer (Reclass Option via Heart Seal): If you want to emphasize her magical prowess, reclassing to a Sorcerer (from Dark Mage line) can be beneficial. This class learns Vengeance at level 5 and Bowbreaker at level 15.

Key Skills to Acquire:

  • Savage Blow (Malig Knight Lvl 5): After combat, if unit initiates, foes within 2 spaces of target take damage equal to 20% of their max HP. This is excellent for weakening multiple enemies.
  • Trample (Malig Knight Lvl 15): Grants +5 damage when attacking a non-mounted foe. This boosts her offensive power against a wide range of enemies.
  • Luna (Great Knight Lvl 5, if reclassed from Cavalier line): Ignores half of the enemy's defense or resistance. While not her base class, if she were to gain access to the Cavalier line, this would be a strong offensive skill.
  • Vengeance (Sorcerer Lvl 5): When activated, adds half of unit's lost HP to damage dealt. This can make her incredibly dangerous when at lower HP.
  • Lifetaker (Dark Knight Lvl 15): When unit defeats a foe, recovers HP equal to 50% of damage dealt. This provides sustain if she reclasses to Dark Knight.

Weapon Recommendations:

  • Camilla's Axe: Her personal weapon, a powerful axe.
  • Bolt Axe: A magic axe that scales with her magic stat, allowing her to deal magical damage with an axe.
  • Ragnarok: A powerful tome for high magical damage.
  • Silver Axe/Tome: High might weapons for maximizing damage.
