If Classic Mode ends up being too hard for you, don’t worry: you can switch to Casual Mode, albeit at the cost of being unable to switch back. However, the Temple must have grown to Level 3, which happens after you collect 10 of Anna’s Mementos. Luckily, you can bring them back by visiting the Camp’s Temple, where you can revive them if you have enough gold. Basically, if a unit is defeated in Casual Mode, they’ll return for the next battle, but if the same happens in Classic, they’re unavailable for all modes. If you’re familiar with how both modes work in Fire Emblem, then it’s mostly familiar barring a couple differences for Classic. Okay, but what’s the difference between Casual and Classic Mode? At the very least, the differentiated skills and stats will make a definite impact on how you play. In short, yes, there was a catch to Fire Emblem Warriors having the biggest initial line-up in the series. Ryoma and Robin also ended up sharing movesets, although we’ll discuss this further in the DLC section. For example, while Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates was initially the only axe-wielding Wyvern Knight in the game, that changed when Minerva from Shadow Dragon arrived as DLC. Meanwhile, Lucina is weaker than Chrom, but her faster attack speed makes up the difference.īy the way, there were a couple more unique characters, but they’ve begun to lose that status. For instance, Takumi is stronger than Sakura, but the latter has higher resistance, so she’s the Archer you’ll want to eliminate Mages. Don’t forget the classic Fire Emblem stat level-ups are retained from the main series, so each character excels in individual strengths (not to mention other factors such as attack/running speeds). For reference, other shared classes/movesets include Lords (to clarify, Marth/Celica and Chrom/Lucina have different movesets), Archers/Tricksters (Takumi, Sakura and Anna), and Magic Knights/Troubadours (Leo and Elise).Īt first glance, this may seem lazy, but it’s not nearly as homogenized as it may seem. For example, Caeda, Cordelia and Hinoka are all Pegasus Knights, so like Rowan and Lianna, they function identically excluding their special attacks. While there are a handful of unique characters (Corrin, Lissa, Xander, Tiki, and Frederick), much of the cast share movesets according to class. Wait, they both play the same? So does that mean other characters have cloned movesets? If forced, we’d suggest Lianna only in that Rowan’s voice tends to grate on the nerves, but you’ll end up having both siblings at your disposal by Chapter 5. Who should I pick?Īctually, both characters play the same barring their unique specials, so while there are stat/ability differences between the two (Lianna is faster, for instance), there’s not a huge advantage or disadvantage in choosing one or the other.
So when I start the game, it’s asking me to choose between Rowan and Lianna. We’re just here for those getting their feet wet!
Whether you’re still getting used to all the chaos or merely on the fence on getting Fire Emblem Warriors, we at Hey Poor Player got you covered in getting started properly.īear in mind this guide that this is a beginner’s guide, so you won’t see anything on, say, how to unlock Anna. While the game offers plenty of guides (such as a tutorial option to introduce new mechanics), it’s very easy to miss them considering how much information is parsed at a time, so that’s why I’ve whipped up this guide.
Three days have passed since Fire Emblem Warriors released, and while many Warriors and Fire Emblem fans gotten the hang of things by now, newcomers to one (or both) of those series may be a bit overwhelmed.
Update (): All three DLC packs - Fates, Shadow Dragon, and Awakening - are detailed here. Not sure what’s going on in this FE crossover? Look no further.
