Corrin (F) is the daughter of the King and Queen of Hoshido. However, she was kidnapped and raised as Nohr royalty. She cares for her step-siblings: Xander, Camilla, Leo, and Elise. But she also keeps close ties with her true siblings: Ryoma, Sakura, Hinoka, and Takumi. In Fire Emblem: Heroes, she wields a Dragonstone under the Blue Attribute.

Stats

Corrin (F) can be well balanced similar to her Male-Counter part. However, she bears higher stats than he does and is a Blue Dragonstone, allowing her to counter attack even at range. Corrin (F) has decent Res and Spd but more valued for her Atk and Def. Corrin (F) is quite an investment as she comes with a 3☆ version which is easier to get than the male Corrin.

Strategy

Corrin (F), unlike her male counterpart, can counterattack if the player attacks from far away. She also has a good balance of stats which makes her versatile like her male counterpart. While Corrin (M) is a decent balance but slightly lower as a 5☆, Corrin (F) can easily out-tank and out-speed her male counterpart. Players can opt to give Corrin (F) Desperation to prevent her from taking damage especially from dragon-slaying characters like Lucina. To give her better rounding, other players also opt to give her Swordbreaker to counter Red Units with and Lancebreaker to deal with other blue/units.

Players can also grant Corrin (F) Distant Counter and Desperation to deal damage against Red Tomes. This makes her more sustainable against Mages, despite her low Res. Her biggest problem may be dealing with Green Tomes as they have affinity against Blue Units and Tomes deal damage based on the difference between ATK and RES. For Special Attacks, the player can opt for Ignis or Bonfire which deals damage based on the Def of the unit to which Corrin (F) has a lot of.

All in all, Corrin (F) is quite an asset especially since there’s no trait that defeats Dragons save for Lucina‘s, Chrom and Marth‘s Falchion and Julia’s Naga. Her Bonfire and Ignis can also deal significant damage which gives her an advantage against Sword-Users and Lance-Users. Players can also use heroes that have Spur Def to increase the defense Corrin (F) has to exploit the effect of Bonfire and Ignis.

Counter

  • Lucina – Even though Lucina is a red sword, she can still deal heavy damage against Corrin (F). This makes her susceptible to green units who are swooping in for the kill.
  • Chrom – Chrom also wields Falchion similarly to Lucina which makes him quite powerful against dragons.
  • CeciliaCecilia, as a green tome, can nuke Corrin (F) from afar especially if given New Moon. Because New Moon attacks as if the enemy’s Def/Res drops by 30%, Corrin (F) can be eliminated in one blow.
  • Julia – Julia is a Green Tome that deals heavy damage to dragons. A complete hard counter to Corrin (F), Julia also has a high ATK which can dwarf Corrin (F)’s Res.
