Not to be confused withFiona, a playable character inRadiant Dawn.

Fiora (Japanese:フィオーラFiora) is a playable character inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. She is one of three playable Pegasus Knights available to joinEliwood/Hector's party.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Fiora can be recruited in Chapter 18 (Eliwood's Tale) or Chapter 19 (Hector's Story). She appears as an NPC at the beginning of Turn 3, and will join the party if spoken to with Florina. She is the secondpegasus knight that can be recruited.

InThe Dread Isle, Chapter 18 forEliwood and Chapter 19 for Hector, Fiora finds her sisterFlorina. It is revealed that Fiora had been hired byPent^[1] to investigate the island with a whole squadron, but was the only survivor of a large attack. Though she blames herself for the loss of her squadron, Florina tells her not to, helping Fiora overcome her sadness. Fiora follows Florina's advice to join her army.

Depending on the player's supports, Fiora may marryEliwood,Kent, orSain, or become the head of a mercenary company.

Analysis

Comparable to other "secondPegasus Knights" likeThea andTana, Fiora suffers a bit from getting outclassed byFlorina since she has better availability and the possibility to promote earlier. This shouldn't deceive you though, since Fiora's base stats and lance rank are decent, her growths in HP and resistance are pretty good and flying utility in general is very useful throughout the game, making Fiora perfectly capable of contributing and catching up to her younger sister.

The most troublesome issues Fiora comes with are typical for the Pegasus Knight class, since she joins with low HP, defense and constitution. Those factors will impair her early combat performance, but will get less important later on thanks to theFalcoknight promotion gains and Fiora's decent speed growth. She also has to avoid most bow users, especially around her jointime, since a hit of theSteel Bow can bring her down very quickly, most likely killing her when she already has sustained damage. Again, this will be less of a long-term issue due to the generally low effective damage and the increased durability of the Falcoknight class, but even later on it's still unwise to let her face multiple bow users at once.

Her high movement and the ability to fly over impassable terrain does help Fiora to reach distant villages, kill vulnerable or dangerous enemies and thus contribute in combat, in addition to giving her extra utility as an excellent ferry unit. This is especially useful during some late chapters likeNight of Farewells orCog of Destiny, where huge parts of the maps are covered with water or mountains and enemies can easily block your path when you are tied to the ground. Having flying movement also helps Fiora to snipe annoying staff or siege tome users, who are unlikely to pose any threat to her due to her high resistance growth.

Overall, Fiora is a good unit, not only possessing decent growths and bases, but also having access to flying movement and lances, which are very useful weapons during the entire game, though her low constitution and physical durability will hold her back at the beginning.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are two different variations of Fiora available toHeroes, both based on her storyline appearance inThe Blazing Blade. The normal variation of Fiora is one of the characters added to the game in theOn Dark Wings update, and became available for summoning by players on February 17, 2020. A summer variation of Fiora was first added to the game in a special summer variation as part of theSummer Refreshes update, and was made available to players in the seventeenth edition of theTempest Trials+, "Lessons Learned", which initially ran from July 12, 2019 through July 22, 2019. Fiora is one of a very few characters to date who had a special variation made available to players before their normal variation in which the normal variation has actually been added to the game, another example beingSigrun.

Fiora's summer variation's epithet misspelled her national demonym,Ilian, as "Illian" prior to the New Heroes & Ascended Mareeta update on March 18, 2022.

Personality

Fiora is the eldest sister ofFarina andFlorina. She shows great trust in her younger sisters and subordinates in the army but she is overprotective of Florina, still viewing her youngest sibling as a little girl. In the beginning of The Blazing Blade, she is not on speaking terms with Farina, who left their family after they had a heated argument. Fiora has great pride in herself, but is bothered by sometimes not being able to complete missions on her own, and often puts herself down for not always being there for her siblings. According to her support with Farina, Fiora does not keep track of money well, many loans and debts hanging over her head.

Fiora is loyal to her homeland of Ilia, but often risks her life to defend it or to save others before herself. This loyalty is also reflected in her being a stickler for rules and regulations, which sometimes interfere with her relationships with others.

Fiora: Defrosted Illian
Fiora serves with Ilia's Pegasus Knights, and she and her sisters Farina and Florina are well-known in the kingdom as three pegasus-riding sisters!	Fiora is the oldest of the three, and they say she can be a bit…straitlaced. But now it's summer, and she's letting her hair down with her new swimsuit outfit!	Fiora's wearing a neat and pretty swimsuit with frills. She's not carrying her trusty spear this time—instead, she's completing the look with a parasol!	For Heroes from snowy countries like her, spending some time in the blazing summer sun has to be a truly special experience. I hope Fiora has a summer to remember!
