Anna (Japanese:アンナAnna) is a character inFire Emblem Awakening. She is a merchant, and one ofmany sisters.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Anna appears inParalogue 4, being targeted by Victor's brother,Vincent. IfChrom talks to Anna, she will agree to join theShepherds once the paralogue is complete.

In this game, it is explained how Anna makes multiple appearances: there are many sisters which are nearly identical in appearance, all named Anna. The Anna sisters appear as traveling merchants who occasionally appears on the world map. One Anna appears inParalogue 2, trying to protect a village from a band of thieves led byVictor. Once Victor is defeated, this Anna thanks the Shepherds for the help. Depending on whether or not Paralogue 4 was done first, Chrom will think the second Anna he helped was the same one he helped before, but both clarify that the other Anna is her sister. Another Anna serves as the game's ultimate superboss, fighting the player at the end of the secret route ofApotheosis.

Analysis

Anna joins inParalogue 4 ofAwakening quite early, and her amazing base stats make her a very powerful character, especially on Lunatic, where strong early game fighters are a rare commodity. Her HP, magic, skill, speed, and luck are all high. Her strength is not quite as high, and her resistance is also not very high, and her defense is what other characters would be expected to have. She starts in theTrickster class, giving her access to swords and staves. She has a C in swords, letting her use steel and killer weapons, and a D in staves let her use theMend staff at base. As a Trickster, Anna can make good use of theLevin Sword with her high base magic. She starts at level 1, meaning she only has access toLocktouch andMovement +1 for skills; the ones fromThief, where both are fine skills. At level 5, she getsLucky 7, giving her extra hit and avoid for the first seven turns of the map. At level 15 she getsAcrobat, which lets her move unimpeded by terrain that would otherwise have a movement penalty to cross.

Anna's high magic lets her be a potent staff user early on, but she can instead reclass toAssassin to invest more into her combat with its extra strength, skill, and speed. This class also reduces her magic, making her Levin Sword utility worse, though she receives bow access to somewhat make up for it. For skills,Lethality is moreso unreliable with procing, andPass has great utility for being able to move past enemies.

Archer is brings Anna's more average 40% strength growth to 45%, as well as slightly increasing her strength and defense stats, but reduces all her other stats except luck.Skill +2 is going to be heavily outclassed when the player has access to more skills.Prescience can be okay with giving some extra hit and avoid when initiating combat.Sniper makes Anna significantly bulkier than Trickster, as well as stronger and more accurate, though she'll be slightly slower.Hit Rate +20 gives a pretty substantial boost to hit rates, andBowfaire is great if Anna remains in a class that can use bows. For Archer's other promotion,Bow Knight is potentially better than Sniper due to gaining a mount, and letting Anna use her prebuilt sword rank. Bow Knight is also slightly stronger and retains one more point of speed than Sniper, is bulkier than Trickster, and equally as accurate.Rally Skill is a great supportive skill, andBowbreaker is a very powerful skill, giving an extra fifty hit and avoid against bows regardless of the weapon Anna is using.

Mage allows Anna to utilize her higher magic base for combat earlier, though it is statistically worse in every area than Trickster.Magic +2 is helpful when building weapon ranks with weaker weapons since she'll start with E tomes, andFocus gives an extra ten crit when there are no allies within three spaces, which is situationally useful. Promoting toSage regains staff utility, and is slightly bulkier and harder hitting than Trickster, but is less speedy and accurate. This class is one of Anna's best final classes since her magic base and growth are higher than her strength base and growth, as well as this class givingTomefaire for extra damage.Rally Magic is also a great supportive skill that works well with a supportive Anna build.Dark Knight is much bulkier and mobile than both Trickster and Sage, but is much slower than Trickster, but slightly more accurate than Sage. This class also regains sword access for another physical-magical hybrid.Slow Burn gives gradual increases to hit and avoid throughout the map's duration, andLifetaker heals 50% of the damage Anna deals when defeating a foe.

Overall, Anna's class choices really depend on what the player wants out of her, either if the player either wants Anna to have staff utility as a Sage or Trickster, or if they want to fully invest in her combat potential as a Bow Knight, Assassin, or Dark Knight. All of these classes are good in their own ways, and Anna is just a very good character when she joins and can prove to be a valuable unit throughout the course of the game due to her starting above most other characters.
