Clarine

Personal Evaluation	9.5/10
Attribute / Weapon	White/Staff
Rank	3~5  stars
Title	Refined Noble
First Appearance	Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade
Voice Actor	Hunter MacKenzie Austin

Clarine is the sister of Klein and appears in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. As a noble, she comes off as somewhat arrogant and pampered. However, this more out of her own naiveté rather than malice. She idolizes her brother, Klein very much. Clarine once nearly ended in Narcian’s hands but soon joined Roy’s army after the rescue. In Fire Emblem Heroes, she returns as a Colorless/Staff Hero.

Stats

Clarine, as a cavalry, has an extended movement range. She can heal allies easily, covering a wide range. As a cavalry, she also takes in boons such as Ward Cavalry or Fortify Cavalry. Stats-wise, Clarine has a decent RES and ATK but her DEF is what makes her quite soft and susceptible to annihilation.

Strategy

Clarine is a support hero that can quickly cover long ranges and heal other allies. This makes up for the fact that she doesn’t have Physique like Genny, who can heal from 2 spaces away. She instead however has Swift Winds Balm which can heal and grant additional speed boosts to her allies. Some allies she can work well with are other Cavalry units such as Eldigan if running Fury Build.

Despite her movement range however, her heals are very single-target based. One way to counter this is to have her inherit Wrys’ Heavenly Light. While it does remove the speed boosts, this will allow her to heal at a wider distance. And for players who intend to build a cavalry team, this kind of build is quite useful. To increase her sustainability, players can also have her inherit Live to Serve to increase the amount of HP recovered every time she heals.

As she heals, players can also grant her a variety of debuffs to bring down the enemy. Some players choose Threaten ATK as to prevent her from taking too much damage. Or, she can also be a buff tower if she has a tank such as Berkut or Hector shielding her from incoming damage.

Counter

• Cecilia – As a Cavalry and Green Tome unit, she can quickly chase down Clarine and defeat her in combat. It doesn’t help that Cecilia’s weapon, Gronnraven, deals extra damage to Colorless Units.
• Mathilda – Mathilda has Ridersbane which deal extra damage to Cavalry units. She can also chase down Clarine and deal heavy damage. This is also due to Clarine’s low defense.
• Raigh – If invested in, Raigh can deal heavy damage to Clarine due to his weapon.
