Scarlet

Learn about Scarlet, a powerful Wyvern Rider in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Discover her stats, growth rates, class options, and how to best utilize her strengths.

Alright, let's talk about Scarlet! She's a super cool resistance fighter from Cheve who joins you in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Her family were knights, but she couldn't stand Nohrian oppression, so she started her own resistance. Plus, she *really* likes shiny things, which is just a fun little quirk!

Scarlet is a solid unit right off the bat because she's prepromoted, meaning she's already a high level when you get her. She's got great Strength and Speed, so she can hit enemies hard and fast. Her Skill growth isn't the highest, which can be a bit of a bummer since Axes and Clubs aren't always the most accurate weapons. She's also a little on the fragile side with lower Defense and Resistance, but honestly, she's usually strong enough to take down enemies before they even get a chance to hit back.

Here's a look at her growth rates:

When it comes to classes, Scarlet starts as a Wyvern Rider, and she's actually the only dedicated Wyvern Rider you'll get in Birthright (besides your own Avatar, maybe). She can reclass into Outlaw or Knight. While her reclassing options are a bit limited, and she can only support with the Avatar, it actually works out well for her. If she goes Knight, she can learn the Pavise skill, which is awesome for cutting down physical damage and making up for her lower Defense. If she goes Outlaw, it's not as directly helpful, but if she promotes to Malig Knight from there, she can get Trample, giving her an extra +5 damage against foot soldiers. That's a nice little boost!

Overall, Scarlet is a fantastic unit. She's a real powerhouse with her high Strength and Speed, and with the right class choices, you can shore up her weaknesses and make her even more formidable. Definitely make sure to use her!
