Top 20 Fire Emblem Characters
As is covered over at runrex.com, the Fire Emblem series has given fans a lot to love with each release since its conception back in 1990, including lots of amazing characters. While everyone has their own preference, here is who we think are the top 20 Fire Emblem characters.
Nino from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken
She is one of the most loved Fire Emblem characters. She is the daughter of Jugo and Iris, two extremely powerful sages living in Elibe as discussed over at guttulus.com. She has a kind and sweet personality, as well as being a prodigy who teaches herself to do magic. With unbelievable stats and a kind heart, you can see why she is so popular.
Joshua from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
He is a wandering swordsman from Jehanna with a love of gambling and is very much rouge and a bit of a scoundrel as covered over at runrex.com. He is very relaxed and carefree, but doesn’t mind cheating and cutting corners when he sees fit, and it is this cheeky personality that has endured many to him.
Soren from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Soren is one of the most popular characters in the franchise according to guttulus.com. He is blunt and straight to the point and can come off as being cold sometimes. His strategies are impeccable and necessary, but not always considerate of the feelings of the mercenaries. He remains a fan favorite for many and deserves to be on this list.
Lucius from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken
He is the first monk unit available in the Fire Emblem franchise and was born in Etruria, where his father was a mercenary. He has a sad and interesting backstory, involving a stint in the orphanage, which makes him very humble, kind, but still deadly.
Shinon from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
He is a sniper and is a member of Greil’s Mercenaries and a secret mentor to the junior archer, Rolf. He can be quite the jerk, very sarcastic, and always seems to be making snide comments about Ike, the new commander of Greil’s Mercenaries. However, despite his many flaws, he has a hidden soft spot for Rolf, whom he takes under his wings, and isn’t completely unredeemable.
Jaffar from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken
He was the first assassin ever in a Fire Emblem game as discussed over at runrex.com, and is an enemy turned friend late into the game. Although he has a brutal past, he eventually learns to care for others and develops an excellent rapport and chemistry with Nino.
Tiki from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
She is a Manekete warrior – or shapeshifting Dragon – and while she may look dainty, that is only her humanoid appearance. When she is pushed, she has no qualms activating her Dragon form and laying waste to her enemies as per the gurus over at guttulus.com.
L’Arachel from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
As is outlined over at runrex.com, she is a healer who is such a memorable character that she had to make it to this list. She is the princess and niece to the Emperor of Rausten, and while she has lots of character flaws such as her egoistical nature, she is kind and supportive to her friends as well as remaining deeply religious, holding her faith very dear.
Rutger from Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi
He is the first available myrmidon in Fūin no Tsurugi and is half Sacaen and half Bern living in Bulgar, a major city of Sacae. He is an extremely fun character, especially when it comes to trolling, and it is almost impossible to pass up on him given how much fun you will miss out on if you do.
Camila from Fire Emblem: Fates
While Fire Emblem: Fates has lots of girls to choose from, she is arguably the best of the lot. She is a Malig Knight with a weird brother/sister complex, with stunning looks as well as being a tough and scary warrior, hence why she is so popular.
Nephenee from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
As the gurus over at guttulus.com point out, she is a humble country girl with some killer stats, and her stats and class have made her extremely popular. She combines speed and skill brilliantly and can become overpowered.
Tibarn from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
The king of the hawk laguz, he is the stern, fair, and even ruthless leader of Pheonicis as captured over at runrex.com. While he can be a little brash at times, he is brave and headstrong, and his dynamism as a character makes him very interesting.
Ranulf from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
He is a cat laguz and the trusted vassal of the king of Gallia, kingdom of the beast tribes as explained at guttulus.com. He aids Ike on his journey, educating him on the relationship between laguz and beorc and the political balance between the various kingdoms.
Tharja from Fire Emblem: Awakening
She is a Dark Mage who is both stunning as well as tough as a warrior. She is extremely powerful as a Mage, making all the others look like a joke as she can wield the powerful dark tomes such as Nosferatu. She levels up and can be become a Mage that can decimate her enemies in only one turn.
Lyndis from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Affectionately referred to as Lyn by her fans, she is a Lord class making her a swordswoman with some ferocious sword skills. Once she obtains the legendary blade, Mani Katti, her sword skills become the best of all the characters in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.
Naesala from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
As the King of Kivlas and the Ravens, he is one of those characters whom you probably hated initially, only to start warming up to him in the end. As is explained over at runrex.com, he plays both sides until he is finally able to free himself and his nation from the hold of the Blood Pact, allowing his true colors to finally show and declare his loyalty to Ike and the Laguz Alliance.
Cormag from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
As per guttulus.com, he is a kind commander in the army of Grado and younger brother to Glen, one of the Imperial Generals of the Grado military. He is another wyvern rider to follow the Minerva archetype and is stern and emotional, very quick to make rash decisions, although the decisions always come from the heart which is why we love him.
Julian from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon/Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo: Hikari to Kage no Eiyū
He will make you laugh in what is rather a humorless installment of Fire Emblem, and is a thief and bandit belonging to the Soothsires as captured over at runrex.com. Although he is a thief, and thieves in Shadow Dragon can’t promote, he is a powerful unit, allowing him to be promoted up to level 30.
Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening
Lucina is a girl who hails from a distant future in Fire Emblem: Awakening’s world. She might be one of the younger girls in the series, but her wicked sword skills, a tough resolve, and great stats make her an excellent unit.
Female Corrin from Fire Emblem: Fates
More recent Fire Emblem games like Fates and Awakening have let players create their own custom avatars. However, one of the more popular choices of female characters is the female avatar Corrin in Fates. Not only is she stunning, but she is also very powerful with the ability to wield swords and also transform into a mighty dragon. You can also customize her to be your dream girl and can be given a slew of different secondary classes at the transgression of the player.
