Azura

Learn Azura's strengths, weaknesses, and unique Songstress abilities in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Discover her growth rates and how to best utilize her on the battlefield.

Alright, let's talk about Azura! She's a really unique character in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, and honestly, super important. You'll meet her early on, and she's a princess who was basically a hostage in Hoshido. She's pretty private, doesn't show her emotions easily, but she's got a good heart and a lot of wisdom. Her biggest thing? Her songs! They can seriously help out your allies in battle. Oh, and she's apparently a terrible sleeper, but that's just flavor text, I guess!

Here's a look at her stat growth rates. Keep in mind these are what you can expect as she levels up:

As you can see, her Health and Defense growths are pretty low (25% and 15% respectively). This means she can be a bit fragile, especially against physical attackers. You'll want to be careful where you position her on the battlefield. Her Strength, Skill, and Speed are pretty solid though, sitting at 50%, 60%, and 60%. This gives her some good offensive potential and makes her quite agile.

Class-wise, Azura is one of a kind. Her primary class is **Songstress**, and this is where her real value shines. As a Songstress, she has a unique ability that lets another unit take an extra turn after her. This is HUGE for setting up combos, rescuing units, or just getting more attacks in. Seriously, don't underestimate how powerful that is!

Beyond her Songstress role, her good stats mean she can actually reclass into other things and still be effective, especially if they use the Naginata weapon type, which she already has access to. However, because of that low HP and Defense, you really need to baby her a bit when she's leveling up. Try to keep her away from the front lines and protect her from strong physical enemies. Her Resistance is decent (35%), so magic users might not be as much of a threat, but a strong physical attacker will definitely put her in danger.
