Anna

Discover Anna's strengths and weaknesses in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn her best classes, growth rates, and how to make her a valuable asset to your team.

Alright, let's talk about Anna! She's a bit of an enigma, isn't she? You'll meet her as a merchant, and she's got a whole bunch of sisters – honestly, probably more than she can keep track of. Like most merchants, she's got a silver tongue and a real love for gold, especially if the customer has a lot of it. She's always on the lookout for the person with the "fattest nest egg."

When it comes to her potential classes, Anna can branch out quite a bit. She starts off able to become an Archer, eventually promoting to Sniper or Bow Knight. She can also go the Thief route, becoming an Assassin or a Trickster. And if you're feeling magical, she can become a Mage, leading to Sage or Dark Knight.

Her support options are a little limited, mainly to your Avatar and Tiki. This means she might not get those big stat boosts from supports that other characters do. Also, she doesn't have any children units associated with her.

Let's look at her growth rates:

• HP: B
• Strength: C
• Magic: C
• Skill: C
• Speed: C
• Luck: A
• Defence: C
• Resistance: C

Now, Anna can be super useful when you first get her, and her Luck growth is fantastic! However, if you don't keep her in the fight consistently from the get-go, she might start falling behind compared to characters who are already promoted when you get them. Some of her stats might seem a bit low, but don't forget she can use staves and swords, which can be really handy.

My advice? Try to get her the skill "Acrobat" – it's a really good one. After that, consider reclassing her. Because her support options are limited, she might struggle a bit in the late game. While her other classes are decent, Trickster or Assassin are probably her best bets for maximizing her potential.
