Analysis

Larum is a typicalDancer, possessing fairly high luck and speed, but poor bulk and the inability to fight back. As she will never face combat, her stats do not really matter, but anAngelic Robe can be used to improve her survivability if needed. It can allow her to survive being struck by a siege tome or a ballista, for instance.

Larum has the ability todance for player units who have already taken a turn, allowing them to move again. This is extremely useful for a variety of different situations, most notably allowing the player to easily usewarp more than once a turn in order to skip certain maps. The uses of a dancer are almost endless, and are only limited by the player's creativity. Because of the great utility Larum offers, she is overall an invaluable asset, especially when playing the game on hard mode.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

Larum: Sprightly Dancer
The Western Isles of Elibe suffered under a tyrannical ruler, but there was a resistance movement fighting back against their oppressors. Among them was Larum, the energetic young dancer who's larger than life!	When Roy arrived on the Western Isles, Larum successfully petitioned him to aid the resistance. Joining forces with their leader, Echidna, Roy fought to free the isles from its oppressors.	Aside from helping the resistance, Larum had other goals in mind. Her adoptive father—Douglas, the Great General of Etruria—had asked her to protect someone important…	There's certainly more than meets the eye when it comes to Larum, but what girl doesn't have a secret or two? Anyway, I hope she'll stick around to lift everyone's spirits with her dancing!

Meanwhile, Larum's outfit features a dynamic design that focuses on ease of movement—just the thing for a dancer! The miniskirt is covered by a transparent top layer, giving it an eye-catching visual effect.	Larum brought the party to the bridal festival, and now she's even started dancing for the crowd! I'm sure her performance will only add to the excitement of the festivities!
