Sorceror

Discover the Sorceror class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Learn about its strengths, weaknesses, skills like Vengeance and Bowbreaker, and how to best utilize this powerful but fragile magic user.

The Sorceror is a Nohrian advanced class that really leans into dark magic, making their Magic stat fearsome. Think of them as the game's closest thing to a pure mage, but with some unique skills and a very specific stat spread.

Let's break down what makes a Sorceror tick:

Stat Growth Rates:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	0%
Strength	0%
Magic	25%
Skill	0%
Speed	10%
Luck	0%
Defense	5%
Resistance	15%

As you can see, the Sorceror is all about Magic and Resistance, sacrificing almost everything else. This means they hit hard with spells but can't take many physical hits.

Weapon Proficiency:

Weapons

Scrolls/Tomes

They wield the power of Scrolls and Tomes, which is standard for magic users.

Unique Skills:

• Vengeance: This skill gives you a chance (Skill x 1.5%) to add half of your lost HP to your attack damage. It sounds awesome, and it can be, but it's a bit tricky. Ideally, you want to keep your units healthy, so letting a Sorceror get low on HP to maximize Vengeance is risky. It's a powerful skill, but use it wisely!
• Bowbreaker: If an enemy has a bow (yumi) equipped, this skill grants you +50 Hit and +50 Avoid. This is super useful if you plan to reclass a unit into a Sorceror temporarily just to learn this skill, especially if you want to make them a flying unit later. Just remember to protect your Sorceror afterwards, as they're quite fragile.

Playstyle and Tips:

• The Sorceror is a glass cannon. They have incredible magical power but are very easy to take down if they get hit by physical attacks. Keep them protected behind your tougher units.
• While they don't have access to Tomefaire (which boosts Tome damage), their raw Magic stat and Vengeance skill can still make them devastating attackers.
• Bowbreaker is a fantastic skill to grab for units that might become fliers later. Just be mindful of their squishiness after they learn it.
• Sorcerers can use the dark tome Nosferatu, just like Dark Mages. This can help with survivability if you need it, but remember their low HP means it won't heal you for a massive amount.
