Henry

Discover Henry's character bio, growth rates, class options, and potential children in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn how he fits into your strategy.

Alright, let's talk about Henry in Fire Emblem: Awakening. He's a Plegian dark mage who's got a real… *enthusiasm* for battle, you know? He's got this permanent grin, and while he seems super optimistic, don't let that fool you – he's got a pretty gruesome streak and shows very little mercy on the battlefield. Honestly, he's got the lowest heart rate out of everyone, which is a bit wild.

When you're thinking about his classes, Henry can really go down a few interesting paths. He can become a Sorcerer or a Dark Knight, which really leans into his magic. Or, he can go the physical route as a Barbarian, which can then branch into Berserker or Warrior. He's also got Thief as an option, leading to Assassin or Trickster. Each of these offers different skills and playstyles, so think about what you need for your team.

For supports, Henry can build an A-rank relationship with Frederick and Ricken. If you're looking at S-rank supports, which lead to marriage and potential children, he can connect with Sumia, Lissa, Sully, Maribelle, Cordelia, Panne, Nowi, Olivia, Cherche, Miriel, and Tharja.

Speaking of children, if Henry ends up marrying one of the eligible characters, he can have Cynthia, Owain, Kjelle, Brady, Severa, Yarne, Gerome, Laurent, or Noire as his child unit. Pretty cool how that works, right?

His growth rates are pretty interesting too. He's got a B in HP, Skill, and Speed, a C in Strength, Magic, Luck, and Defense, and a D in Resistance. This means he's pretty sturdy and can hit accurately, but his magical and defensive capabilities might need a little help depending on his class.

Honestly, Henry's a character that really stands out. If his bio didn't already make him sound unique, his support conversations definitely will. He's got this creepy charm that's almost endearing, with his… *unique* sense of humor. Some players find that his Defense can really shine if you promote him into a Sorcerer, and his class options give him access to some great skills like Counter and Lethality. Acrobat can also be a nice bonus for a Sorcerer.

Some people find him to be even better than Tharja, but honestly, it often comes down to personal preference since they're quite similar in many ways. And hey, his constant happiness is pretty adorable, and his supports, especially with characters like Sumia and Ricken, are full of amusement. He's definitely a memorable unit to have on your team!
