Great Lord

Unlock and master the Great Lord class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! Learn its stats, weapon proficiencies, and powerful skills like Aether and Awakening.

Alright, let's talk about the Great Lord class in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation! This is Lucina's signature class from Awakening, and you can get it once per save file by beating the 'Before Awakening' DLC. It's a pretty solid class overall, though it's a bit weak on the Resistance side.

Here's a breakdown of its stats and how it plays:

Stat Growth Rates:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	15%
Strength	15%
Magic	0%
Skill	10%
Speed	10%
Luck	15%
Defense	10%
Resistance	5%

Weapon Proficiencies:

Katana/Swords, Naginata/Lances

Skills:

Skill	Effect
Dual Striker	If user is adjacent to an ally who is attacking, the user will deal +3 more damage
Charm	Allies within a 2-tile radius will deal +2 more points of damage
Aether	Skill x 0.5 % chance of dealing two hits, one Sol and one Luna, in succession
Awakening	If HP is under half, Hit, Avoid, Critical, and Critical Evade all boosted by +30 points

Class Analysis:

The Great Lord is a well-rounded physical attacker. Its Strength and Defense growths are decent, making it capable of taking hits and dishing out damage. The real stars here are the skills. Charm is a nice passive that buffs nearby allies, and Aether is fantastic – it's a chance to get two attacks in one, with the first healing you (Sol) and the second dealing extra damage (Luna). That's a huge damage boost and some sustain all in one!

Dual Striker is also great if you like keeping your units close together for coordinated attacks. It just adds more punch to your offense when you're in position.

The skill 'Awakening' is pretty unique. When your unit's HP drops below half, all their stats get a massive +30 boost. It's a high-risk, high-reward situation. While it's awesome to have that power surge when you're in a pinch, the best strategy is always to keep your units at full health. Still, it's a fun skill to play around with if you're feeling daring!

Overall, the Great Lord is a strong class, especially if you can leverage its skills effectively. Just be mindful of its lower Resistance when facing down powerful mages.
