Analysis

Citrinne joins as one of three level 10 units inChapter 7, and as such is able to promote as soon as the chapter is over with help from aMaster Seal. Citrinne's highmagic and sufficientspeed make her an excellent pick forMage Knight, and her personal Staff proficiency also allows her to go intoSage. However, she suffers from lowHP anddefense, which makes her very vulnerable on enemy phase without Bonded Shield support.

If the player chooses to promote her into Mage Knight, her high Magic means that a forgedElfire will let her kill any enemy she doubles. Her speed base combined with aSpeed Tonic, as well asChaos Style at level 5, allows her to double most enemies throughout the next three chapters. When the player gets access toLyn, it would be wise to inheritSpeed + as it will help her with one rounding enemies for the rest of the game. Mage Knight will cause Citrinne to lose access to the Mystical class bonus. She will instead benefit from the Cavalry class bonus, increasing hermovement. Lyn is a great fit for Mage Knight Citrinne as it boosts her speed even more, and allow her to double even the fastest of enemies.Eirika is another good pick as she provides the user with Magic for every Bond Rank, andGentility decreases the damage she takes. Should the player have access to DLC,Camilla is another excellent Emblem pick as she provides the user with HP and speed for every bond rank, as well as giving the user access to theBolt Axe andLightning tome.

If the player chooses to promote her into Sage, she will not benefit as well from her speed, as Sage's speed is lower than Mage Knight's. However, Sage provides Citrinne with the Mystical class bonus, Tomes will ignore enemyavoid bonuses from tiles. The extra Magic allows Citrinne to reliably ORKO enemies with a heavily investedThunder tome andOlwen's S-rank ring during the midgame, but Thunder's low damage ceiling restricts this set to only badly damaging the bulkier enemies in the lategame. She does benefit from the ability to use staves, and can inheritDivine Pulse to improve her accuracy when using them. Mystical works well withCorrin, as it will provide the player with the fireDragon Vein, which will allow Citrinne to keep enemies away and overwriteterrain types such as Fire and Miasma. Camilla is once again a good choice for a Sage build as she gives increased bulk, movement, and the Mystical bonus ofDark Inferno makes the area of effect a 5×5 grid around the user and deal increased damage.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Main article:Citrinne/Heroes

There is one variation of Citrinne available inHeroes.

Personality

Citrinne tends to be seen as haughty by others, but is actually kindhearted and cares about her friends.^[3] Because she grew up in a loving environment and without any inconveniences, she also finds herself wanting to please those around her, often through the means of her extravagant wealth.^[1] This behavior originated from a friend she had in her youth who demanded pricey gifts from her,^[6] but Citrinne began to learn through people like Alear andVeyle^[7] that such gifts aren't necessary to befriend people or make them smile. She is also a person to become excited over personal secrets^[8] and though she won't pry, she's thrilled at the thought of people just having them.^[9]As a retainer and someone who cares deeply for Brodia, however, Citrinne has a strong desire to protect her home country and is willing to do most anything, even blackmail the truth out of people,^[10] to keep those she loves safe. She owns the most land out of all soldiers in the army.^[1]
