Oni Savage

Learn about the Oni Savage class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright! Discover its strengths, weaknesses, skills like Seal Resistance and Shove, and promotion options.

Alright, let's talk about the Oni Savage class in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. This is a pretty unique Hoshidan class, and you'll mostly encounter it with Rinkah. Think of them as a tough, club-wielding demon on the battlefield – they hit hard and can take a beating, especially with their high Strength and Defense.

Here's a look at their stat growths:

Stat	Growth Rate
Health	20%
Strength	20%
Magic	10%
Skill	10%
Speed	10%
Luck	0%
Defense	20%
Resistance	0%

As you can see, they're built for physical combat, with solid Strength and Defense growth. Just be aware that their Resistance is pretty low, so they're vulnerable to magic attacks.

When it comes to weapons, Oni Savages are all about:

Weapons
Clubs/Axes

Now, let's get to the really cool stuff: their skills. Oni Savages come with two neat abilities:

Skill	Effect
Seal Resistance	After battle, the enemy’s Resistance drops by 6 points, and recovers 1 point per turn.
Shove	Gives a new command “Shove” that can push an adjacent ally one tile.

Seal Resistance is super handy for weakening magic-using enemies, even though Oni Savages themselves aren't the best against magic. Shove is a great utility skill that lets you reposition allies, which can be crucial for setting up attacks or saving someone from danger.

When an Oni Savage reaches a certain level, they can promote into one of two advanced classes:

• Oni Chieftain
• Master of Arms

The Oni Savage class itself is pretty rare in Birthright, mainly limited to Rinkah. But don't let that fool you – the skills they offer, especially Seal Resistance and the potential of their promotion, Oni Chieftain, are really valuable. Seal Resistance can significantly debuff enemy magic defense, making them easier targets for your mages. While Resistance is often a less critical stat to lower in Fates compared to others, it's still a useful tool.

Overall, the Oni Savage is a sturdy and surprisingly mobile class. They can act as excellent scouts, drawing enemy attention without taking too much damage. Just remember their Achilles' heel: magic. Also, Clubs and Axes can sometimes be a bit unreliable due to their lower inherent accuracy. If you find yourself missing a lot, consider forging your weapons to give them a boost in accuracy!
