Trickster: Advanced Classes Part 2

Learn how to effectively use the Trickster advanced class in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Discover its stats, growth rates, skills, and how it upgrades from Thief.

Alright, let's talk about the Trickster in Fire Emblem: Awakening! This class is a bit of a sneaky one, and while they might not be your heavy hitters, they bring some really cool utility to the table, especially with their staff access. Think of them as a support unit with a knack for getting around. They upgrade from the Thief class, so if you've been using one of those, this is a natural next step.

The Trickster is all about agility and support. They can use Swords and Staves, which is a pretty unique combo. Their movement is solid at 6, and when they Pair Up with another unit, they give a nice boost to Magic (+2), Skill (+1), Speed (+3), and even Movement (+1). This can make a slower unit much more mobile or boost the effectiveness of a magic-user.

They come with two key skills: Lucky Seven at Level 5, which gives you a bonus if you're on turn 7 (or multiples of 7), and Acrobat at Level 15, which is super handy for navigating tricky terrain on maps. This means they can move across pretty much any tile without penalty, which is a huge advantage in certain situations.

Trickster Stat Growth Rates

Here's a look at how the Trickster grows:

As you can see, they lean into Skill and Speed, which makes sense for a trickster type. Their Magic growth is decent too, which helps with staff usage. Just don't expect them to take many physical hits with their lower Defence and HP growths.
