Sheena Character Analysis [Fire Emblem: Heroes/ FE: Heroes]

Sheena

Personal Evaluation	8/10
Attribute / Weapon	Green/Axe
Rank	4~5  stars
Title	Princess of Gra
First Appearance	Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
Voice Actor	Lauren Landa

Sheena is the daughter of King Jiol from Gra. However, she is nothing like her father. While her father does not care for her subordinates, she watches over them which gains the support of her people. When she sees that Marth did not chase down her fleeing soldiers, she joined up with Marth while convincing Samson to do the same. In Fire Emblem Heroes, she is a Green/Axe Armored Unit.

Stats

Sheena has an innately high DEF as an armored unit. Along with that, she wields a Green Axe which allows her to fight down Blue Lances that dare approach. Because of her high DEF, she sacrifices her RES which makes her susceptible to incoming magic attacks or dragonstone attacks. However. Sheena nonetheless can become a bottle-neck character if the enemy does not have any armor-slaying allies.

Strategy

Sheena is one of the heaviest armored units. Having high HP and atk, she can survive incoming attacks similarly to that of Hector. Her only difference with Hector is her inability to counter-attack from far distances. She also has high DEF and RES, one of the highest in-game.

Her best weapon, Killer Axe+, isn’t really the best weapon for her. This may make her lose against “bursty” heroes such as Celica and Katarina. However, Slaying Axe may be a good thing for her to inherit since it decelerates her cooldown from her specials. While Killer Axe+ has the same effect, Slaying Axe has better stats suited for Sheena. Other weapons that can work Sheena are also the Silver Axe+ from Gunter which relays pure power. There’s also the Emerald Axe+ which has a built in Triangle Adept, giving her a chance to become a more focused “blue-killer” than just general combat.

For her passives, Sheena works best with Wary Fighter as a means of preventing follow-up attacks. If the players want a full defensive build, go for either Fortress Defense which comes from Seth or Lukas. Or, the player can opt for Fortress Res as a means to punch up her Resistance. However, as of the moment, Fortress Res can only be found on Innes, a 5☆ Archer from the Sacred World Banner.

As an armored unit, she can also serve as a buff tower depending on what the team needs. If the player wants to deal heavy damage, she can run Spur Speed especially if her allies all have Vantage. Hone ATK can also work if all allies have high Spd stats already. For tag teams, she can work best with tanky healers such as Azama who not only heals but can soak up damage almost as well as a low-tier armored unit.

Counter

• Celica – Celica‘s Ragnarok makes her a terrifying foe. With his already abysmal Res, she can easily burn him into pieces especially at full life. She can constantly keep up the pressure if she also has a pocket healer.
• Katarina – Katarina‘s Rauørwolf allows her to draw power from her allies which can shatter Sheena’s defense.
• Young Tiki – Young Tiki’s stats are also quite balanced and she can deal heavy damage especially with her weapon, Flametongue, at max level.
• Selena – As a Red/Sword infantry unit, she becomes increasingly deadly especially with her Armorslaying weapon. If paired with allies that grant her an increase in attack, it’s possible for her to single shot Sheena’s defenses.
• Hana – Hana is the cheaper version of Selena since she’s easily acquired via Special Maps. Because of this, it’s easier to level her up. This works in favour in gaining additional stats for her especially via summoning since she’s a common 3☆.
