Top 25 Characters in Fire Emblem Heroes 2023
Fire Emblem Heroes is all about the characters, more than many other mobile games as explained at mtglion.com. While they are not easy to acquire, including five-star characters in your collection of heroes means you will be near unbeatable in battle. We have curated for you a list of what we think are the top 25 characters in Fire Emblem Heroes in 2023.
- Lucina
While Lucina passes herself off as Marth when we first meet her in Fire Emblem Awakening, her true personality doesn’t manifest itself until her true identity is revealed as per mtglion.com. Lucina will stop at nothing to save her father and alter the dark future, and few characters have more mental fortitude.
- Lyndis a.k.a Lyn
One of the reasons behind Lyn’s popularity is the fact that she is one of the protagonists of the Fire Emblem game marketed in the west. Looking past the nostalgia though, she is also statistically built like a speeding swordsperson, as she is the first lord available to players, giving plenty of time to level her up.
- Hector
As one of three protagonists from The Blazing Blade, Hector has an ax as a weapon, and not a sword, like most Fire Emblem Lords. Few characters in the series can match his raw power and physical durability, and he barely has to worry about survival as a result.
- Joshua
Joshua is much more than the womanizing, gambling addict he presents himself as according to mtglion.com. While his gambling habit leads him to cheat others out of their money, he is surprisingly honest about it.
- Tiki
Tike comes across as a precious young girl with an innocent outlook on life, and while she looks harmless, she is actually an ancient member of the Divine Dragon tribe. She can take the form of a dragon, and she houses enough power to eradicate entire continents.
- Anna
Anna is the one character that has appeared in more Fire Emblem games than any other. Usually acting as the face of tutorial levels or as a shopkeeper, Anna, and her many identical sisters – with the same name – is a staple in any Fire Emblem installment.
- Roy
Roy is something of an enigma in the Fire Emblem franchise. This is because while he is not overly interesting or unique, the reason he holds such a prominent place in the eyes of many is that he was the man who brought the series to w western audience.
- Female Corrin
While many don’t find the male version of Corrin to be that interesting, the female version gets a lot more leeway as articulated at mtglion.com, probably because she is super cute. She has one of the more unique skill sets in the Fire Emblem echelons, capable of both swordplay and transforming into an enormous dragon, which sets her apart from her contemporaries.
- Ike
One of the reasons why Ike is so beloved among fans is because he is a self-made man in a world where stature is determined by bloodline or birthright. He was the first main protagonist who was not born into nobility. He is one of the most powerful Fire Emblem Lords ever, and he can potentially complete every mission by himself.
- Marth
Marth is the lead of the first Fire Emblem game and remains iconic to the franchise, especially since he is the ancestor of Chrom and Lucina. Everything about Marth, from his status as a young noble out to save the world to his use of swords, has had an impact on later protagonists.
- Camilla
As the eldest daughter of the Nohr royal family, Camilla acts as a protective figure to her siblings, and while she is a beautiful princess, she can be surprisingly merciless when the situation calls for it. She is an exemplary warrior with an intriguing backstory, but these attributes are all overshadowed by her seductive personality.
- Chrom
Chrom, the prince of Ylisse and leader of the militia group called the Shepherds, is one of the central heroes of the Fire Emblem Awakening. As the head of his country’s army, players are forced to use Chrom, and it is just as well since he is a decent powerhouse as captured at mtglion.com.
- Celica
While Princess Celica of Zofia went through a long period of anonymity, once she returned to the public consciousness with the 2017 remake, people remembered how much they adored her. She is brave, altruistic, and well-meaning.
- Pent
Pent is the mage general of the area of Etruria as covered at mtglion.com, although he is mostly absent from his position because he is too busy immersed in his studies under a legendary archsage. He is one of the best characters to have in the game.
- Jaffar
When we first encounter Jaffar, he is an enemy character with the nickname “The Angel of Death”. Later on, however, he becomes a playable character who is an assassin with blazing speed and skill, meaning he will be very tough for the enemy to hit.
- Donnel
As a little farmer from a no-name village, who knows nothing about fighting, Donnel is a very underrated character. However, while he can be tough to train, he also has high potential because if you put in the effort, you have extra levels to work with until he gets to the first-level classes.
- Tharja
The popular Tharja is endowed with dark magic and even darker thoughts, and she develops an unhealthy obsession with the player’s avatar. Although she is said to have the nicest body in the army, she is completely unaware of her sex appeal, which is why, instead of relying on her feminine charms, she casts curses and hexes to get what she wants.
- Ephraim
The protagonist of The Sacred Stones, a title he shares with his twin sister Eirika, Ephraim one of Fire Emblem’s “lord” archetypes, usually refers to the royal-blooded main character of the game and is one of the only ones to start off wielding a lance as outlined at mtglion.com.
- Edelgard
While Edelgard von Hresvelg is heir to the Adrestian throne as discussed at mtglion.com, this doesn’t mean that the Crown Princess had an easy upbringing. This is because she was subjected to unethical experiments as a child, and her white hair serves as a solemn reminder of her past trauma.
- Soren
Soren, the taciturn and blunt strategist for the Greil Mercenaries, is arguably the best magic user in both games he appears in. Heavily jaded by the harsh treatment he received as a boy, Soren is fiercely loyal to the Mercenaries’ leader Ike, who saved him from starvation, and will follow him anywhere, no matter his objections.
- Takumi
Takumi is a beast of an Archer. He can counterattack from afar and up close, which sets him apart from other ranged attackers. He has god-like stats as well. He is a rare pull, but well worth the effort, and is especially strong against ranged attackers.
- Fae
While Fae, the adorable Dragon Child, might not look it, she is a heavy hitter and an excellent support character. Her passive ability allows her to heal herself for 10 HP almost every turn and can rescue other characters from danger if they are in a tricky spot as revealed at mtglion.com.
- Cordelia
If you are lucky enough to pull a five-star Cordelia, you have got a real steamroller of a summon. Cordelia has passive abilities that allow her to attack twice, take multiple turns in a row, and can move through enemies.
- Nowi
While Nowi has a horrifying get-up, she is another highly coveted five-star summon who can act as a tank. She boasts powerful attacks and some pretty nifty support abilities. She can disrupt enemy resistance in an ultra-helpful area-of-effect move.
- Robin
Robin is a solid mage who happens to be strong against gray heroes, giving him a well-rounded advantage on the battlefield. He is also one of the easier characters to attain, and he will prove useful for many battles to come.
