|
| “ | I am Wrys, a humble curate. I cannot fight, but this staff I carry can heal your wounded. Take me with you, and you'll be very glad you did. | ” | — Wrys, toMarth |
|---|
Wrys (Japanese:リフRiff) is a humble elderlycurate fromTalys and an ally ofMarth. He volunteered his services as a user of healingstaves to Marth's army during both theWar of Shadows and theWar of Heroes, and later ran a monastery inAltea.
Biography
Wrys lived in a village to the south of theTalys castle during theWar of Shadows. He took an interest in helpingMarth and had hoped to meet him for some time.[1] When Marth visited his village during the battle withGazzak and the pirates of Galder, Wrys offered to join his cause, promising that Marth would be very glad to have the staff Wrys carried on hand to heal his wounded. Wrys served with the Archanean League through the War of Shadows, and after its conclusion, he settled down inAltea and constructed a small monastery there so he could take in and care for orphans of the war.
Two years later, Wrys was recruited byCain to assist with the training of Altea's 7th Platoon as the team's healer. Upon meeting him,Luke was horrified to learn that Wrys was not the cute cleric he was hoping for.[2] Following the 7th Platoon's foiling of the assassination attempt onMarth, Wrys departed on a journey, although he believed that eventually he would meeta certain member of the 7th Platoon again.[3]
His belief proved to be true, as when the assassins began systematically hunting all of Marth's old allies from the War of Shadows, this included Wrys.[4] An assassin unit led byClarisse cornered Wrys in the northern mountains ofMacedon, but he was saved by the timely arrival of Marth's army. Wrys rejoined Marth once again for the duration of theWar of Heroes. After the war he returned to his monastery and lived the rest of his life there, occasionally leaving to assist in the training of prospective knights.

Role

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Wrys is the first curate to join Marth's army, and, for the first 2 chapters, is your only source of healing. However, Wrys is one of the worst units in the game, and becomes almost completely outclassed onceLena joins. He starts with aweapon level of 3, which is too low to use some of the most importantstaves in the game likePhysic andWarp. His growth rate for weapon level is only 20%, so you would have to grind several levels to be able to use some of the most important staves in the game. Unfortunately, leveling up Wrys is very difficult, becauseCurates can only gain experience by surviving combat; Wrys has a basedefense of 3 with a growth of 0%, and a basespeed of 7—equating to 7avoid beforeterrain bonuses—with a growth of 10%, and has a hard time gaining experience without getting killed. Alternately, using theManual on Wrys will increase his weapon level to 8—which allows him to use every staff in the game—and there is little for other units to use it; on the other hand, it could be sold for 5,000gold, and the only one in the game is inChapter 12, after Lena,Wendell, andMaria could have been recruited and the same chapterBoah is recruited, all of whom but Lena have enough weapon level to use every staff. With amovement of 5, Wrys only having a 1-range heal isn't very useful when he has a hard time keeping up with the rest of your units. Wrys can be mildly useful in the first 2-3 chapters when you are forced to deploy him and he is your only source of healing, but Lena, Wendell, Maria, Boah, andElice all perform better in the long term.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Wrys is the first staff user who joins Marth's army inShadow Dragon. In the early chapters, Wrys is the only source of healing beside vulneraries; in higher difficulties, this is especially important, as vulneraries are sparse and enemies are hard to defeat. Having a healer is invaluable there, and Wrys is the only healer available untilLena joins, giving him an exclusive period of healing utility no other unit in the game has.
Wrys's bases are unimpressive overall, and his base staff rank is only E, but it is possible to raise his staff rank to D at around the same time Lena is recruited. From there, getting him to C requires only that he is used. He can be promoted toBishop upon reaching level 10, which gives 30 additional staff experience, half the experience required to reach B or A from the previous level.
Wrys is outclassed by Lena, who also joins early but with a C rank in staves, allowing her to useWarp with no investment, and has exclusive access to her personal staffHammerne. He is also outclassed byWendell, who joins promoted with better base stats, and canreclass to a different promoted class. Changing Wrys's class to anything butCurate makes him a combat unit with a poor weapon level and poor bases, so he is best off staying as a Curate. Wrys will have an equal or higher staff rank than units who reclass into a staff-using class, but will be behind all other units that are recruited in staff-wielding classes, and requires 38 staff uses to reach C staves and use Warp.
Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem
Role
Although he was not present in either book of the originalMystery of the Emblem, Wrys returns as a playable character in both theNew Mystery prologue and the main story. In his return appearance inChapter 3x, he starts the chapter in the middle of the map, well away from the player's army, and part of the chapter's goal is to reach him in time to save him from the enemies. If he survives the chapter, in the closing cutscene Wrys gives the player the option to changeKris's hairstyle to make them bald (male) or give cut their hair short (female).
Wrys is the only character inNew Mystery of the Emblem with a unique staff named for him available throughEveryone's Conditions:Wrys's Staff.

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Wrys is an early joining healer, and as such, he will never be entirely useless. However, he is not a very good unit. Wrys is the only healer available in the prologue chapters ofNew Mystery making him one of the most valuable units in the prologue, but his main niche is gone once he rejoins the army. Other units can reclass toCleric orCurate and do nearly as well as a healer as Wrys does. Wrys's base staff rank is only E, which makes him strictly inferior toMarisha andYuliya, two other early-joining healers with a C-rank in staves. Having an E-rank in staves limits Wrys to using only basic staves until he raises his rank, and increasing weapon ranks takes a long time. He does have the advantage of a higher base level than Marisha and Yuliya, but the advantage is negligible.
Overall, while Wrys is not entirely useless and is important in the prologue chapters due to being the only available healer, he is overshadowed by other healers and offers nothing to compensate.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Wrys is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch, and is also the tenth of twelve characters that are part of the game'sHero Battle rotation. He was first made available via Hero Battle at 7:00 AM UTC on February 11, 2017 through 6:59 AM UTC on February 12, 2017, and his Hero Battle has been available during the same time period every twelve days thereafter. Only one variation of Wrys is currently available inHeroes, based on hisShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light incarnation; he was notably the only character currently available toHeroes whose incarnation is solely credited to that game prior to the addition of a pirate variation ofDarros more than three and a half years later, and the only character or variation inHeroes credited to that game at all for more than three years until theThe Start of It All update added five character variants that were also co-credited withMystery of the Emblem.

Personality
Wrys is greatly fascinated by observing how the children under his care learn and grow every day.[5] While he is a trained healer, Wrys prefers not to heal the children of the monastery unless he absolutely has to, as he believes that it is important for children to learn about danger and injury.[6] He held an appreciation for witnessing friendships between other people.[7]

Trivia

- InMystery of the Emblem Book I, Wrys's appearance in aChapter 1 village was replaced with a young girl who gives the player aVulnerary. Various official sources have poked fun at this: joking that he is a cross-dresser inArchanea War Chronicles Vol. 1;[8]Shouzou Kaga claiming it was too late to change his gender so he could be aCleric in the"Professional" guide interview;[9] and depicting him with Vulneraries inOne Hundred Songs of Heroes,Cipher, andLINE.
- New Mystery of the Emblem makes a minor running joke out of Wrys. In both occasions where he meets the player's army again, both in the prologue and the main story, he repeats the same introduction he gave in both versions ofShadow Dragon. The line is quoted yet again on his basicCipher card.
- InFire Emblem Warriors, one of the elderly generic villagers resembles Wrys, though Wrys himself does not appear inWarriors.
- Wrys is one of only two playable characters inHeroes to haveShadow Dragon & the Blade of Light identified as his game of origin, the other beingDarros.

- ↑"Luke: She's finally here! My lovely cleric! Out of my way! Let me at her!
Wrys: Pleased to meet you! I am Wrys, a humble curate. I cannot fight, but this staff I carry can heal your wounded.
Luke: ........
Wrys: Yes, yes, I heard the whole thing from Sir Jagen. If you like, I could lend you my services as a healer. ...Oh my, has something terrible happened? Your face looks awfully pale... Have you been taken by illness, my boy?
Kris: Ah, no, it's nothing... (Be careful what you wish for, Luke!)
Katarina: Pay no heed to Luke; we're all fine. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Wrys." —Luke, Wrys,Kris, andKatarina,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - ↑"Wrys: Sir Kris, I'm going on a journey for a while. Thank you for having me here.
Kris: No, Wrys, thank YOU for helping us.
Wrys: Knowing fate, if two people are tied together, they will meet again, sooner or later. Please, take care..." —Wrys andKris,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - ↑"Jagen: Kris, are you aware that we've been searching for the assassins who besieged Altea a year ago...?
Kris: Ah! I assume, since you're mentioning it, that you've found a new lead?
Jagen: We're not certain, but we've received information that might lead us to them. A few days ago, I heard of a suspicious group heading towards Macedon's northern mountains.
Marth: The northern mountains? What could they be after up there?
Jagen: Rumors say they are pursuing our former allies in the War of Shadows... And I don't believe they're after a friendly chat with them either." —Jagen,Kris, andMarth,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - ↑"Wrys: It's no trouble at all. Your daily growth always enthralls me, Dame Kris.
Kris: T-thank you. You're making me a little embarrassed...
Wrys: Hoho, looking at you brings back memories of the children at the monastery in Altea.
Kris: There's a monastery in Altea...?
Wrys: Yes, I built a small monastery after the last war. There are many delightful children there.
Kris: Oh my gosh! That's wonderful...
Wrys: The children there grow stronger with every passing day, living in harmony with nature. Just like you, Dame Kris.
Kris: That's very kind of you.
Wrys: Yes, even your naughty sides are akin..." — Wrys andKris,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - ↑"Wrys: I see... Alright. There's a bountiful sea near the monastery. The children often go play there.
Kris: Sounds fun.
Wrys: Yes. But since they're so energetic... they injure themselves often.
Kris: Hmm and that's when you heal them with your staff, right Sir Wrys?
Wrys: No, I don't do that.
Kris: Pardon? Why not...?
Wrys: Why are you befuddled, lass? People are born with the power of healing their own wounds. A staff's power is merely a supplement to that natural healing. And, besides, children need to learn that getting hurt is dangerous... That is what I humbly believe.
Kris: Yes... I agree with you too.
Wrys: That's why I only heal them when it's absolutely required." — Wrys andKris,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem - ↑"The bonds of people are truly a wondrous sight, no matter your age." — Wrys,Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

[The village girl on Map 1 is his cross-dressing form. Wrys is the biggest cross-dresser in the village!]" (Fire Emblem: Archanea War Chronicles (Volume 1) (Media Works), pg. 32) - ↑"加賀 リフとかは本当は入れたかったんですよ。彼の場合は登場するマップ(1章)がなくなった訳ではないですから。でも彼一人のために、男の坊さんのキャラクターをワンセット用意しなければならないんです。
いまさら「実はお婆さんだった!」なんてことにはできませんから。
[Kaga: I actually wanted to include characters like Wrys. In his case, the map in which he appears (Chapter 1) hasn't disappeared. But just for him, we'd have to prepare a whole set of male monk characters.
We couldn't just reveal at this point that "he was actually an old lady!"]" — Kaga, S. (Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem "Professional" (Ape), pg. 108) - ↑https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsHzXjJ23PU&t=42m58s
