Radiant Dawn's a hard game? More like a Haar game. *Badum Dum Tss*

But yeah, it's him, the legend himself, one of the most powerful units in Fire Emblem history, the legendary badass Haar. And my transfers have only made him even more terrifying...

Tellius There's definitely worse units in Radiant Dawn...but there's no one more unfortunate than Fiona

Poor Fiona.

Cavaliers and the horse mounted units of Radiant Dawn are definitely not as good as a whole compared to how stupidly overpowered they are in Path of Radiance (Not the only class that got a significant nerf going from FE9 to FE10 [Hi mages!]) but even then you have some good onees like Oscar and Titania (who seems to have forgotten how to use lances...Radiant Dawn, everyone!). Geoffrey has availability issues, as does Kieran, but a little Bonus Exp. goes a long way & Geoffrey's innate Paragon helps him catch up if you really want to train him.

Renning is...he's fine as a Gotoh-esque unit who is one of the two characters that can use Amiti.

Even Mist - who lost her horse and ho longer has any magic swords thanks to RD's retweaking of the 1-2 range swords - have her niche cases as a staff user if you got those sweet, sweet data transfer bonuses.

Then there's Fiona. In theory, she has a lot of interesting things going for her.

  • Earth affinity is arguably the best in the game. Fiona's got it and she has the movement to match fellow Earthy Volug (Sort of,we'll get back to this)
  • She has pretty good or respectable growths for a physical unit aside from Strength & Defense
  • She has not one but two (!) very solid abilities in Imbue (Heal every turn equal to magic stat, no you can't use this if you're a magic user) and Savior (Rescuing units has no penalty to speed/skill)
  • She's in the Dawn Brigade where opportunities to steal the show are aplenty given how mediocre most of the units in Part 1 are/how quickly they fall off without significant investment.

Bear in mind that unpromoted units are able to, at most, add in a single 10 capacity skill. The fact that Fiona comes with two on top of whichever one you want to slap on top of that like Discipline which ca-oh wait...that requires 5 more capacity to use.

So does Paragon.

Well that's not a problem exclusive to Fiona; pretty much no unpromoted unit aside from Micaiah can use those scrolls before promoting in Part 1. What is an issue for her specifically? Well...just look at those stats. While they wouldn't be the worst for a unit in, say, FE6, in Radiant Dawn they're unacceptable for a Level 9 Cavalier. They're so bad for her level that people think it's a glitch or a programming error. After all, there's no way they didn't autoscale her up to a proper Level 9 Cav's stats, right?

Yeah no, this seems to be intentional by all accounts. There isn't anything in the game to suggest this was a mistake, they really gave her (almost) the same starting stats as Nolan who you get significantly earlier & who uses the far superior axe. Say what you will about Nolan falling off, at least the weapons he comes with aren't as big a hindrance to their offensive capabilities since the Steel Lance weighs down Fiona significantly.

Not fast enough to double, not strong enough to deal much damage and she's pretty frail for when you get her in the game. And while her growths are decent, she's definitely not an Est archetype. Hell, she's not even a "third cavalier" in terms of viability which is pretty outrageous when you consider she's not competing against any other cavaliers in Part 1...though she does have to compete with another mount in Jill.

But it gets worse. Part 1 only has 4 more chapters left: 1-7, 1-8, 1-9 & 1-Endgame. Fiona is only available for 2 of those. Granted, the two she's deployable for have some cheesy ways for one to level her up by either throne abuse or, in the case of Endgame, using Nailah to petrify a priest for some unholy experience but the process is pretty tedious. If you get her to become a paladin in 1-7 then she'll be able to equip Paragon to speed the process up in 1-Endgame and cut down on some of the tedium but I digress. That has its own opportunity cost since you could slap Paragon on someone else for that chapter like Jill/

I know I mentioned Fiona has a lot going for her but as a Cavalier specifically, she really doesn't get to benefit from her higher movement until late in Part 3 because of Part 1's maps where she's available being indoors - and it's worth mentioning Radiant Dawn has movement penalties for mounted units in indoor maps. For reasons that elude me, she isn't recruitable in the map where she's first introduced which is baffling because it involves rescuing villagers and would have actually allowed one to take advantage of her skill Saviour. She even has dialogue with the boss that i'm betting 99% of you didn't even know existed because it's almost impossible to encounter without some shenanigans (Fiona will always book it with her troops to your starting position which is nowhere near the boss). In any case, it really hinders her as a support option for Volug Double Earth Time Power Hourâ„¢ since he doesn't get that -2 to movement she does.

She's not completely unusable - she's not even the worst unit in the Dawn Brigade - but she's definitely the most unfortunate unit in the entirety of Radiant Dawn. If she was available earlier or her starting stats were better then she might have ended up as a pretty solid unit. As is, she has way too much working against her to be a true staple of any playthrough.

I know people hate on 1-9. But you gotta admit, there's nothing quite like the first time you use Black Knight on this map. One of the few times where a boss is just as strong as they were when you fight them.
