Cordelia

Personal Evaluation	9/10

Rank	4  stars
Title	Knight Paragon
First Appearance	Fire Emblem: Awakening
Voice Actor	Julie Ann Taylor

Member of Ylisse’s Pegasus Knights, Cordelia is also the childhood friend of Sumia. She excelled in everything save for running. This idea would then lead her to join the Pegasus Knight Squad, riding the Pegasus Aurora. In Fire Emblem Heroes, she serves as a Blue/Lance unit on her Pegasus.

Stats

Cordelia’s favoured for her mobility. As a Pegasus Knight, she’s able to cross over any territory without problems. What makes her increasingly powerful also is her Pass ability which allows her go through opponents if low on life. She has a high attack but a relatively low defense and resistance. Nonetheless, her speed makes up for it along with her ability to cross over any terrain.

Strategy

Cordelia, a Pegasus Knight, falls under the Flier category and has inherently high mobility. She is similar to Camilla except her under the Blue Category. She has a high ATK and high Spd but lower defense and sustainability, in contrast to Subaki. Cordelia is a hero meant to pierce hole through the enemy lines, allowing the other heroes to take them out. Astra and Galeforce exploits her heavy damage which, coupled with Pass, makes her quite versatile.

One skill that Cordelia can inherit is Hit and Run. Giving this skill to Cordelia will allow her to survive longer in combat as she’s much farther. However, this won’t do much effect if the hero she’s fighting is an archer like Takumi or Virion.

Teaching her Reposition can also help her hide from other enemies, particularly those with high ATK but are close range. Most heroes she can run from are like Hawkeye or Camilla – both who need to be close.

Counter

• Takumi – As an archer, Takumi can seal off her speed and deal heavy damage. He is also the strongest among the archers.
• Virion – A cheaper alternative to Takumi who can deal heavy damage as well when wielding Astra with Seal Spd.
• Cecilia – Cecilia’s high ATK can deal heavy damage to Cordelia due to her low RES.
• Sonya – Sonya has a high ATK which Cordelia cannot defend against. Because Sonya is a Green Tome, she deals extra damage to Cordelia for affinity penalty.
