Revision as of 07:46, 16 February 2020

“Alas! For some foul reason, surface dwellers have been after us of late.”

Constance is a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is a inhabitant of Abyss, and a member of the Ashen Wolves. Currently she's the only known bearer of the Crest of Noa. In Cindered Shadows or Abyss mode, Constance is a main protagonist, alongside the other members of the Ashen Wolves.

Profile

Constance was originally a lady of House Nuvelle, a noble family from the Adrestian Empire that collapsed during the Dagda and Brigid War a few years ago, and is the only survivor. The tragedy that befell House Nuvelle made her extremely afraid of direct sunlight, as it reminded her of it. She is a childhood friend of Mercedes.

She attended the Fhirdiad Royal School of Sorcery and graduated in Year 1177.

Following the collapse of House Nuvelle, Constance moved to the Abyss, although she hasn't given up on her dream of reviving House Nuvelle, and she is watching vigilantly for a chance to do great things and gain worldwide recognition.

Personality

Constance speaks in a domineering, haughty tone, but maintains a scope of politeness and refined speech. At times, she can be rude, especially when loudly voicing her aspirations to restore House Nuvelle to its former glory. She holds some distaste for the Adrestian Empire as its actions led to her parents' deaths. Even when Edelgard offers her apologies for her father's actions, she coldly dismisses them (despite being somewhat friendlier to her in their introductions). She also rips a verbal one on her once-friend Ferdinand over him and his family not giving aid to her when she needed it. On the other hand, she is more affectionate to Mercedes and considers her a sister figure.

She is extremely talented in magic, after graduating from the Royal School of Sorcery with top marks. As such, she's quite obsessed with magical research and strives to make a name for both herself and her House doing so.

She is also aware of Jeritza's identity, and is among the few to refer to him by his real name "Emile".

Due to the tragedy that befell her house, Constance suffers from dual personality disorder much like Jeritza. When not exposed to direct sunlight, she maintains her typical personality that many are used to. When she is forced outside into the sunlight however, she becomes much more apathetic, lethargic, and even self-deprecating.

Overall

Secret Book (Artwork)
Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Much like Lysithea, Constance is a glass cannon mage who is all about firepower. Her Magic growth rate ties Lysithea's for the highest in the game, but she has poor growths just about everywhere else, especially in Luck and Defense. In particular, her Speed and Dexterity are noticeably worse than Lysithea's in exchange for only slight growth rate improvements to her Strength, Defense and Resistance (all of which are still very low), though she somewhat makes up for it with her skill strengths being more diverse than Lysithea's, including a strength in Flying (though she doesn't share Lysithea's strength in Faith). As such, Constance can dish out incredible damage per spell, but can be taken out in a single hit by most opponents. Additionally, her Major Crest of Noa allows her to occasionally refund charges on the spells she casts, which can be very helpful given her powerful arsenal otherwise has limited charges.

One thing that Constance has going for her is access to Bolting, a spell that only Hilda and Manuela have, but she can use it far better than them. This not only lets her decimate enemies at long range, but can let her contribute Linked Attack and Gambit Boost bonuses from extreme distances just by having the spell equipped. She also gets Agnea's Arrow, Fimbulvetr and Abraxas, some of the most powerful damage spells in the game, but she may have issues hitting enemies due to her poor Dexterity (thankfully she gets Sagittae to compensate). Her Faith list also includes Rescue, and she is arguably the strongest user of it in the game thanks to having a higher Magic growth rate than Flayn.

Like other mages, several skills will highly benefit Constance when using her in the main storyline. Mastering Mage will give her Fiendish Blow, augmenting her already-impressive damage output. Her strength in Flying means Pegasus Knight can be a good class to master for Darting Blow, helping to compensate for her spells' Weight and her average Speed. Mastering Archer for Hit +20 can be very helpful to compensate for her below-par Dexterity. Physical classes are generally not recommended in the long run for Constance due to her awful non-Magic growths, though if one uses New Game+ they could take the time to get her to Swordmaster or Mortal Savant just for the minimum Strength boost, helping to offset Weight. Her main class, Dark Flier, is probably her best late-game choice, taking advantage of her strengths, though Gremory wouldn't be a bad option either. Dark Knight can also work for her, but will require a good deal of training in Lance and Riding. Classing her as a Valkyrie will also prove highly beneficial to acquire Uncanny Blow, which greatly helps Constance's accuracy issues when she initiates combat.

Overall, Constance can be thought of as a more-mobile, longer-ranged, but less reliable version of Lysithea who specializes in Anima rather than Dark magic. She'll take out just about any enemies she hits, but has to be kept away from danger.
