When I think of the Dancer class in Fire Emblem, it brings me back to a scene between Jon Snow and Ygritte in Game of Thrones. It’s the one when Jon explains the purpose of drummers in an army, and Ygritte is unable to wrap her head around the concept. Why be on the battlefield […]

Intro When you think of monks in video games, you think of bald guys in brown robes that are good at martial arts. That’s not how they work in Fire Emblem. Think of monks in Fire Emblem as sort of like the magical equivalent of John Wick. The villains of their worlds grind their gears,

One of the most interesting parts of Fire Emblem Fates is that the series of games gives three very different perspectives on every member of the main cast. Fire Emblem is a game that allows the player to get close to, and even marry, the various NPCs that they ally themselves with. However, just like its

Who says Bishops are only good for delivering sermons, baptizing babies, and spreading the gospel? Not Intelligent Systems, that’s for sure.

Or just people from an opposing country because that’s how war works, but you get what I mean.  Amongst all the promoted units that have appeared

Fire Emblem: Three Houses, as the name would imply, feature three unique houses. The Black Eagles consist of students from the Adrestian Empire, the Blue Lions who house students from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Golden Deer contains students from the Leicester Alliance. Each house has its own unique story, themes, characters, and

One of the greatest strengths of the Fire Emblem series is its vast roster of characters. Of the many personalities you meet and interact with throughout your journeys in the Fire Emblem universe, only a few have maintained such ceremonial status as Ike. From his origins in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance to his inclusion

I’ve spent quite a lot of time here on FEFanatics covering units that use Swords, Lances, and Axes. It’s high time we delved into the world of magic, and what better way to start than with the Mage class? There are three primary types of magic in Fire Emblem: Anima, Light, and Dark. Mages specialize
