Maribelle

Discover Maribelle's character bio, best classes (Valkyrie/War Cleric), support options, and growth rates in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn how to train her effectively!

Hey there! So you're looking to get the most out of Maribelle in Fire Emblem: Awakening, huh? She's Lissa's best friend, a noble with a bit of a sharp tongue, especially towards commoners, but she's loyal once you get to know her. She can be a bit tricky to train initially since she starts as a healer, but trust me, it really pays off once she starts promoting!

Other Classes: Maribelle can eventually become a Valkyrie or a War Cleric. She can also go the Pegasus Knight route, leading to a Falcon Knight or Dark Flier. If you're leaning towards magic, Mage is her starting point, which can then lead to Sage or Dark Knight. For her, I'd lean towards Valkyrie over War Cleric because it really boosts her Magic stat, which is where she shines, without pushing her Strength too much.

Support Options: You can build an 'A' rank support with Lissa and Olivia. For an 'S' rank (marriage), your options are Chrom, Kellam, Donnel, Frederick, Gaius, Gregor, Henry, Libra, Ricken, Lon'qu, Stahl, Vaike, and Virion. Her child unit, Brady, is also pretty awesome!

Growth Rates: Maribelle's growths are pretty solid for a magic user. She's got a 'C' in HP, Strength, Magic, Skill, and Speed. Her Luck is a fantastic 'A', and Defence is a bit low at 'E', with Resistance at 'C'.

Overall Opinion: She's a great magic unit, with her Magic, Skill, Resistance, and Luck consistently improving. While training her as a healer can be a bit slow at first, it's totally worth it. She also has access to some really good skills, and she's one of the few characters who can marry Chrom, which is a big deal! Plus, her support conversations are often quite amusing.
