Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Role

Priscilla was adopted byCount Caerleon ofEtruria, where she lived peacefully. When she heard rumors of her brother's whereabouts, she left Etruria with an escort to find him.

Priscilla is available for recruitment in Chapter 14 ofEliwood's orHector's story. She is waiting in the southern village for her escort,Erk.

Analysis

Priscilla joins in Chapter 14 as aTroubadour with fairly good base stats, a high staff rank at C, and a mount; Priscilla has the highest staff level of any unit available untilPent, and she can use a number of staves with no investment, such asBarrier andRestore. As a mounted unit, she has access toCanto and canrescue more units and move units further than if she were not mounted.

Priscilla's promotion toValkyrie grants her an additional point of movement, +40 weapon experience in staves, and E rank in anima magic. While theGuiding Ring is a competitive promotion item, Priscilla is a strong competitor for it, as it increases her already high staff level further. Priscilla's growths are high enough that she can deal significant damage against the commonly weak enemies inThe Blazing Blade. Getting her experience is difficult, however, because staves do not give much experience, and it is generally more worthwhile to promote Priscilla as soon as possible.

As a mounted unit, Priscilla will struggle to traverse rough terrain; this is a particular problem inChapter 22E/22H, where her movement is limited by desert. Outside of deserts, Priscilla will be slowed by terrain such as forests, but can generally move around it with little overall problem.

Combining mount utility and staff utility is incredible on its own, but Priscilla can even contribute in combat after promoting to Valkyrie. Despite only having E-rank in anima magic, her stats will be good enough on average to double and one-round most enemies. Her defenses will also be solid enough to survive a hit. Since she has 1-2 range, she can also fight on enemy phase in certain scenarios.

Since Priscilla has great mobility, mount utility, staff utility, high availability and even combat after promotion, she is among the best units in the game. While her physical durability is low, her avoid is decently high and she can exploit terrain to avoid getting hit. Having a mount helps her escape danger, and she is a good deployment choice on every map, with the desert chapter as the only exception.

Priscilla, Secluded Princess
Priscilla returned to Etruria's Count Caerleon. Her adopted parents met her not with harsh rebukes, but with tears of joy.

Guy and Priscilla
They fell in love amidst conflict, but Priscilla was a noble and Guy was but a mercenary nomad. Guy rode way before her tears could stain the earth, but Priscilla's bright smile remained in Guy's memory forever.

Heath and Priscilla
They fell in love amidst conflict, but Priscilla was a noble and Heath was a deserter from Bern. Their differences were too great. When they parted, Heath told a weeping Priscilla he would someday return.

Erk and Priscilla
They fell in love amidst conflict. Though he was not nobly born, Erk's talent and link to Lord Pent earned him the peerage he needed to wed Priscilla. As a trusted magic teacher, he lived his life in happiness.

Priscilla: Delicate Princess
Priscilla is a young noblewoman who belongs to the Etrurian house of Caerleon. She might seem quiet and demure, but she's burning with determination on the inside!	Priscilla was born into House Cornwell, part of the Lycian League, and she also had an older brother named Raymond.	However, she was adopted into another house at an early age—that of Count Caerleon. Some time later, she learned of the downfall of House Cornwell, and, fearing for her brother's safety, she set off on a journey to find him.	Priscilla encountered all kinds of danger and strife on her journey, but her determination was unyielding. I wish I had her strength and tenacity!
