Kitsune

Discover the Kitsune class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! Learn about its high Speed and Resistance, unique skills like Evenhanded and Beastbane, and its promotion to Nine-Tails.

Hey there! So you're looking into the Kitsune class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation? Awesome choice! These guys are Hoshidan shape-shifters known for being super speedy and really good at taking down mages, thanks to their high Resistance. Think of them as the fox equivalent of a speedy, magic-resistant fighter.

Compared to their Wolfskin cousins, Kitsune trade a bit of bulk and raw power for the ability to double-attack enemies more often and really shine against magic users. They've got a couple of neat skills that make them unique.

Class Stats and Growth Rates

Here's a look at how the Kitsune stacks up:

Weaponry

Kitsune primarily use Beaststones. The cool thing about these is they aren't part of the usual weapons triangle, giving them a bit of an advantage in that regard.

Unique Skills

Kitsune come with two special skills:

• Evenhanded: This skill boosts your damage output by 4 points, but only on even-numbered turns. It might seem small, but it can add up!
• Beastbane: This is a pretty neat one! It makes your Kitsune's attacks extra effective against enemy beast units. Think of it like a special anti-beast weapon. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to work on wyvern units, which is a bit of a mystery – maybe they're considered undead dragons or something? Anyway, it's great against pegasus and horse units though.

Promotion

When your Kitsune is ready to level up, they promote into the Nine-Tails class. This is where they really get to stretch their legs and become even more powerful.

Strategy and Tips

The Kitsune class is all about speed and magical defense. They excel at doubling up on attacks and shutting down enemy mages. Beastbane is a fantastic skill, but remember it's only effective if your Kitsune stays in a beast-type class line (Kitsune, Wolfskin, Nine-Tails, Wolfssenger). If you decide to reclass them into something else, you might want to swap out Beastbane for a different skill.

Important Note: If you're playing the Conquest route, you won't find any Kitsune units; you'll have Wolfskin instead. So, this guide is specifically for Revelation!

Keep in mind that while your Kitsune is great against beasts, they can also be vulnerable. Enemy Kitsune and Wolfskin units with Beastbane, as well as those wielding Beast Killers, will deal super-effective damage against your own Kitsune. So, watch out for those matchups!
