“Ready for an adventure? I am! Yay! (laughs) I'm so happy! (sighs)”
—Elise joining Corrin's army in Chapter 14 (Revelation).

Elise is a major playable character from Fire Emblem Fates on the Conquest and Revelation routes. The youngest of the Nohrian royal siblings, she commands the loyalty of Arthur and Effie as her personal retainers.

Profile[]

Elise is the youngest daughter and the youngest child of five in the Nohrian royal family and the daughter of King Garon and an unnamed concubine. Much like Camilla and Leo, Elise was unfortunately used as a tool by her mother in order to gain favor with Garon after the death of Katerina, his first wife. Elise was by her mother when she was on her death bed, but to her anguish, Elise's mother only seemed concerned about Garon who was not even present in the room and not Elise.

Despite her dysfunctional relationship with her mother, Elise's childhood was not mired in darkness. She was wet-nursed by a kindly matron Cassita whom Elise views as her true mother figure. She would exude a cheerful energy in the otherwise dour and cold Castle Krakenburg where she was raised, become the beloved younger sister to Xander, Camilla, and Leo. Much to her joy, she later gained an older adopted sibling in Corrin. Alongside her elder siblings, they would make frequent visits to the Northern Fortress where they were living at.

Elise also spent her young getting into occasional mischief. One such instance involved Elise sneaking out of Castle Krakenburg in order to amuse herself within the underground city. There, she met a young girl, Effie, and the two quickly became fast friends. Upon returning to the capital, the two were almost apprehended by the palace guards, only to be unhanded when Elise reluctantly revealed her identity. Following this incident, Elise was unfortunately prohibited from leaving the castle without a chaperone, a fact that forced her to part ways with Effie. Several years came to pass before Effie appeared before Elise once again, this time outfitted in full armor. When questioned, Effie revealed that she had joined the Nohrian royal knights in hopes of reuniting with her best friend, and Elise immediately responded by getting approval to make Effie her personal retainer. She would also later be assigned Arthur as a retainer.

Prologue[]

Elise makes her first formal appearance at the end of Chapter 1, where, following the mock duel that Xander and Corrin engage in, she enters the scene with Camilla. Upon entry, she follows Camilla's lead in expressing her concern for Corrin, and after hearing state that they enjoy her visits, hurls herself into their arms, exclaiming her love for them. When Corrin later learns that they have been granted permission to leave the fortress they have been confined in for much of their life, Elise shares in their joy and helps them to prepare for departure.

When Corrin is later escorted into the throne room of Castle Krakenburg with their siblings in Chapter 2, Elise immediately expresses concern over their safety due to heading outside of the fortress' magical barrier. Corrin responds by resolutely stating their will to fight for Nohr before they are entrusted with the cursed blade Ganglari and issued a challenge to defeat a group of Hoshidan prisoners. Following the successful completion of the challenge, when Corrin prepares to fight Xander to protect the prisoners from being executed, Elise is rendered incapable of doing much else apart from expressing shock over their decision and begging Leo to intervene. After Leo rescues the prisoners by pretending to execute them, Elise accompanies her siblings in escorting them out of the castle to freedom.

Later in Chapter 3, Elise accompanies Corrin to the throne room to offer their apologies to Garon. Initially overhearing Garon conversing with someone else, the pair prepare to leave, only to turn back when he catches her calling out his name. Despite both Elise and Corrin's best efforts, they are unable to quell Garon's ire over Corrin disobeying a direct order from him. They are forced into silence as Garon punishes Corrin by assigning them the task of investigating an abandoned fort on the Hoshido-Nohr border. When Leo later learns of this fact through Corrin's casual mention of the task to Camilla, he expresses concern over Corrin's lack of urgency in their regard of Garon's apparent leniency. This warning of his earns him a slap from Elise, who urges him not to scare them before their first mission. Elise later shows up again with the rest of her siblings to reinforce Corrin after they are ambushed by a group of Hoshidan Ninja led by Saizo. When Xander later orders Corrin to depart with Gunter first, Elise does not see them again until the onset of Chapter 6, when the forces of Hoshido and Nohr clash at the Plains of Hoshido.

Birthright[]

If Corrin chooses to side with Hoshido, Elise will aid her siblings in a desperate bid to defeat the Hoshidans and force Corrin to return to Nohr. The Nohrian army is eventually defeated by Corrin and their siblings, and they are thereafter forced to make their retreat.

Elise next resurfaces in Chapter 12, where she accompanies Garon to the Opera House in Cyrkensia in order to watch a song performance staged by his favorite songstress Layla. Forlornly hoping that the music will help distract her from her unhappiness, she settles back in preparation for the performance after trying but failing to engage her father in conversation. After Azura, bearing the guise of Layla, appears to have succeeded in bewitching the surrounding Nohrian soldiers, Corrin attempts to launch an attack on Garon. Their plan is foiled when Zola is revealed to have betrayed them, and as they are seized by Garon's troops, Elise expresses her horrified disbelief at the proceedings. She later bears witness to Garon mercilessly executing Zola before her eyes. A battle between both the Nohrian and Corrin's armies breaks out soon after, with Corrin being urged to flee from the Opera House. Following the end of the battle, Xander manages to catch up with Corrin, and as he attempts to kill them for treason, Elise intervenes and shields them, giving them the opportunity to make their escape.

Elise later appears in Chapter 21, where she, positioned outside the throne room of Castle Krakenburg, eavesdrops on Garon expressing sadistic pleasure in his contemplation of Corrin's suffering. Xander catches her shortly after, where he warns her that she could be executed for treason if she is detected by Garon. He softens his stance when Elise begins to cry, lamenting over the fact that the war is ruining her beloved family. He then promises to end the war and bring them back together.

Following the conclusion of Chapter 22, Elise stumbles upon Corrin's army as they pass through a passageway leading to an underground city located beneath Windmire. She initially fails to recognize them as she attempts to sell flowers to Shura, who rudely declines her offer. As Elise makes a further attempt to convince him to purchase her flowers, she recognizes Corrin, whereupon she quickly urges them to follow her to her abode to converse with them. She brings them to the home of her wet nurse Cassita, where she woefully reveals that the departure of Corrin from Nohr has caused the Nohrian siblings to begin drifting far apart from one another. When questioned on her presence in the underground city, Elise brightens up as she cheerfully reveals that she willingly collects flowers and sells them on Cassita's behalf, believing that doing so affords her a means of distraction and a way to spread happiness to others. She then broaches on the subject of Garon's radical change in personality, expressing her fear of him coldly murdering others in cold blood, alongside the emotionless expression that he commonly wears. She also reveals that her sentiments are shared by Xander, who has commented that Garon is no longer the father that he once knew in his childhood, a fact that had begun to worsen considerably following the death of Queen Arete, the second queen of Nohr. Cassita, having listened in on the conversation, follows up with a tale of the time she once served Arete and Xander's mother Katerina. Through this tale, Elise is delighted to learn that Azura is the daughter of Arete and is hence her sister.

Later in Chapter 23, Elise guides Corrin through a tunnel that is slated to lead directly into Castle Krakenburg. Against Corrin's protests, she resolves to continue accompanying them in the hope of persuading Garon and Xander to lay down their blades and end the war without any further bloodshed. As they approach a fork, Elise informs Corrin that the left path will lead directly to the throne room. When she goes on to describe the left path as being akin to a confusing maze, Corrin reassures her of their willingness to undergo its trial, prompting her to praise them for the aura of mature confidence that they exude. When Elise later giggles and hugs Corrin in response to them vowing to protect her, her voice is overheard by Arthur and Effie, who, under the belief that she has been kidnapped, promptly leave to inform Camilla of the tidings. Camilla appears before Corrin's army shortly after, launching an attack amidst their and Elise's pleas for her to listen to reason. During the course of the battle, Elise informs Corrin of her two retainers and urges them to speak to them. When Corrin speaks to any one of them, Elise's persuasions will convince them to temporarily defect to the Hoshidan army. After the battle ends in Camilla's defeat, Elise and Corrin reveal their intent to parley with Garon and Xander to put an end to the conflict between Hoshido and Nohr.

When Corrin's army later enters Castle Krakenburg in Chapter 25, Iago appears and tries to get Elise to come with him, which she refuses, showing dislike of Iago for getting Leo and Xander to fight Corrin and trying to kill them many times. Iago then takes full control over Takumi's mind, revealing that he has been used as a spy for Nohr for much of their journey. Takumi is then commanded to take Azura hostage while Iago forces the Hoshidan siblings to either kill Takumi or watch Azura die. Azura then attempts to sing a song to break Iago's control, only to be stopped by Iago himself, who is very well aware of her power. Fortunately, with Sakura distracting Iago and Corrin's encouragement, Azura is able to sing the song and break Iago's control over him. Corrin's army manages to defeat Iago, and Leo executes him for disgracefully attempting to save his skin by accusing Garon of having placed him under a spell. Elise emerges shortly after this exchange, and although initially surprised by her appearance, Leo expresses understanding at her wanting to end their family conflict by means of reasoning with Xander and Garon. He then attempts to get Elise to follow him to the secret tunnel and wait out Corrin's army's confrontation with Xander and Garon, only for her to refuse. Recognizing her resolve, Leo urges her to be careful and sends both her and Corrin off with his blessings as he makes his retreat.

As Corrin's army enters the training grounds of Castle Krakenburg in Chapter 26, Xander appears and challenges them to a one-on-one duel. Despite Elise's desperate, tearful protests, Xander refuses to listen to reason and proceeds with the attack, where he mercilessly rains blow after blow down upon Corrin. As he prepares to deliver the finishing blow to slay them, Elise runs in and intercepts it, taking the full brunt of the blow. Seized with shock and grief, Xander rushes to cradle his sister in his arms, whereupon she, in her death throes, pleads with him to end the war not just through strength, but also kindness and love. Elise dies from the wounds in Xander's arms shortly after.

Elise appears one final time in the Endgame, where she, alongside Xander, Lilith and Flora, manifests in Corrin's near-death experience and provides them with warm encouragement and support to aid them in their struggle against the draconic Garon.

Conquest[]

If Corrin chooses to side with Nohr, Elise is happy to have her sibling return and aids them in the battle against the Hoshidan army. The Hoshidan army is eventually defeated by Corrin and their siblings, and are forced to make their retreat.

When the siblings return to Castle Krakenburg in Chapter 7, they are greeted by Garon expressing a mixture of outrage and disbelief at Corrin's return. Elise, horrified at his reaction, watches on in horror as he later makes the decision to execute Corrin. This prompts her to exclaim her objection, to which Iago gleefully informs her that it is not her place to question the decisions made by Garon. She is later greatly relieved when Garon reverses his decision, but only on the condition that Corrin fulfills Anankos' decree to suppress the Ice Tribe rebellion. Volunteering to aid them with her healing capabilities, she is again shocked when Garon insists that Corrin accomplishes the task single-handedly and is forced to comply. Later, as Corrin passes through the Woods of the Forlorn and is ambushed by a horde of Faceless, Elise enters the scene alongside Silas, proudly announcing that she has followed his lead to rescue Corrin. Elise's retainers arrive on the scene shortly after, expressing exasperation with Elise for having left them behind. When Corrin expresses gratitude to everyone who has come to their aid, Elise reveals that Xander had defied Garon's order in sending them out as reinforcements. The battle with the Faceless is swiftly concluded thereafter, and Corrin's newly-formed army continues its march towards the Ice Tribe Village.

As Corrin's army heads toward the Ice Tribe Village in Chapter 8, they are caught in a blizzard that separates them. Elise reunites with Corrin in the village later on, immediately expressing concern over their separation from her. On Jakob/Felicia's entrance, Flora begins to argue with them for tailing her, and in the midst of the argument, Elise chimes in and accidentally lets slip Corrin's true intent for entering the domains of the Ice Tribe Village. This prompts Kilma, the leader of the Ice Tribe, to raise the alarm for his troops to gather and make a stand against Corrin's army. Following the defeat of Kilma at the end of the ensuing battle, Elise is sent away to accompany Jakob/Felicia to attend to the wounds of the injured while Corrin parleys with Kilma. When she returns to Corrin's side, she reminds them of the need to formulate an excuse to explain why they did not suppress the Ice Tribe rebellion on their own.

Later in Chapter 9, when Corrin admits to their failure to fully comply with Garon's orders, Elise steps in and demands that she be killed as well should they be sentenced to death. Garon strangely decides against executing Corrin, choosing instead to assign them a new mission to tend to a rebellion uprising that has arisen in Notre Sagesse. As Corrin's army makes their way towards the destination of their mission, they are greeted with the need to pass through Fort Dragonfall, a location that Elise describes to be the cadaver of a dragon which passed away years prior to the events of Fates. Following the conclusion of a battle that breaks out in the fort when Corrin's army stumbles upon a group of Hoshidan forces, Elise meets Azura for the first time. Upon learning that she was once a princess of Nohr, Elise, excited at the prospect of having a new big sister, cheerfully fawns over her and drags her off to introduce her to the rest of Corrin's army.

As Corrin's army is en route to Castle Krakenburg to report their usurp of Notre Sagesse in Chapter 12, they are halted in their advance when Elise suddenly contracts an illness that incapacitates her. Fortunately, Iago had sent Corrin's army to Macarath to relax for a moment before the war, and Silas informs Corrin that there are plenty of apothecaries in Macarath. Following a battle that breaks out at the palace when Corrin's army is ambushed by Ryoma's forces, the medicine needed to treat Elise's malady is finally given to her and she begins to recuperate as she slips into a state of slumber thereafter. Elise begins talking in her sleep, during which she reveals seeing Gunter appearing lonely.

Elise is later seen walking towards Cheve with Corrin and Camilla in Chapter 13, where the three are ambushed by Takumi while they are in the midst of discussing their next course of action. When Takumi hurls abuse at Corrin for betraying Hoshido, Elise lashes out at him in defense of her sibling. This prompts him to fire an arrow to kill her, though it misses. A battle ensues shortly after between Corrin's army and the rebels led by Takumi and Scarlet, with the former eventually emerging victorious.

When Xander finally joins Corrin's army in Chapter 16, Elise eagerly introduces Azura to him, stating that she is the Nohrian siblings' new sister. After Xander expresses his joy at finally having been reunited with her, Elise, giddy with happiness with her siblings, jubilantly calls for everyone to head to Hoshido on an "adventure".

When Elise and her siblings enter Izumo in Chapter 18 with the intention of relaxing from the chaos of warfare, they stumble upon the Hoshidan siblings. Xander immediately launches into a heated exchange of hostilities with Ryoma, and both crown princes attempt to engage in a duel, only to be stopped by Izana, the duke of Izumo. Izana proceeds to confiscate the weapons of both parties, and Ryoma later seeks an audience with Corrin while they are in the midst of speaking with Xander. Before Ryoma is able to properly start a conversation, Izana emerges with two soldiers and apprehends him. Izana then unveils himself to be but a guise used by the deceptive Zola to kidnap the Hoshidan royals, and is forced to fend against the Nohrians when Xander decides to punish him for his cowardice. Following the end of the ensuing battle, Elise and her siblings join the Hoshidans in a feast. Despite the fact that they are still at war, they uphold Izumo's pact of neutrality.

After Sakura is captured by Corrin's army at the end of Chapter 22, it is revealed at the beginning of Chapter 23 that Elise has been making the effort to provide comfort to her by frequently paying visits to her. During Elise's visits, Azura reveals that she has been furnishing Sakura with food and blankets.

Following the capture of Castle Shirasagi in Chapter 25, Elise and her siblings are left waiting outside the throne room with Iago and Garon's loyalist after Garon marches inside in a wave of triumph in Chapter 26. While Elise is in the midst of conversing with her siblings, Iago, along with Hans and Garon's loyalists attempts to assassinate Corrin for sparing Hinoka. Much to Iago's horror, Xander steps before Corrin and chooses to take their side before challenging him to a duel, asserting his displeasure with his cruel ways. He is quickly joined by the rest of his siblings, with Elise bluntly revealing her hatred for both Iago and Hans due to the harm they have reigned on countless innocents and threatening to kill Corrin and swears to make them pay with their lives. Together with her siblings, Elise manages to defeat both and kill Hans and Garon's loyalists, while Leo personally executes Iago once and for all, much to Elise's delight. Following the conclusion of the battle, Corrin, much to Elise's incredulity and disbelief, reveals that the war is not yet over, as Garon still has yet to be slain, telling them he is no longer human and they must kill him to end the war.

Later in Chapter 27, Corrin leads Elise and the rest of their siblings into the throne room, where they manage to prove the truth of their words when Garon, seated upon the throne of truth, is revealed to be a slimy monstrosity in actuality, exposing his true form. In their disbelief, Elise, Camilla, and Leo refuse to fight their father, but Xander, undaunted and believing in Corrin, stops Garon from killing them, and warns him he is no longer his father and tells Corrin that he will lend him his strength. Xander's Siegfried reacts with Corrin's Grim Yato, causing it to transform into Shadow Yato, granting them additional leverage in the fight against Garon. Xander convinces the siblings to put aside their disbelief and fight alongside Corrin to kill Garon and save the world. The Nohrian siblings all declare they will fight Garon alongside Corrin, and the proper fight begins, with the Nohrian siblings finally killing Garon, ending his reign of terror.

Shortly after Garon is killed, the Nohrian siblings have barely any time to process their grief and shock before they are caught off guard by a sudden attack launched by Takumi. As Corrin walks towards Takumi with the intent of letting him kill them, they are struck when Grim Yato fails to deflect an arrow shot by Skadi, causing them to slip into a state of unconsciousness. As Elise and the rest of her siblings struggle to fight against Takumi in the Endgame, Corrin regains consciousness and aids them in ending Takumi's rampage once and for all.

With the defeat of both Garon and Takumi, Xander is, shortly after the final battle, crowned as the new king of Nohr as his siblings watch on with pride.

Following Xander's coronation, due to her experiences fighting with her siblings, Elise matures into a wiser and more refined woman, becoming beloved across the worlds for her kindness.

"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Revelation[]

Due to having formed a deep emotional attachment with both families, Corrin refuses to pick a side. Xander and Ryoma cross blades in order to fully convince them. Corrin tries to get their attention by taking down the front commanders for both armies, but this attack is perceived as a betrayal by both armies, causing Corrin to be branded a traitor. Elise and the Nohrian royal siblings return to Nohr after the battle at the Plains of Hoshido.

Elise later appears in Chapter 9, where she, positioned outside the throne room of Castle Krakenburg, eavesdrops on Garon expressing contemplation in trying to have Corrin killed due to knowing too much about the situation. Similar to Birthright, she is caught shortly after by one of her siblings, in this case, Camilla, who discourages her from finding Xander and getting involved. Despite her protests, Camilla tells Elise that if they act hastily, it will cause more trouble for Corrin, so she tells her that they have no choice but hold back, to which Elise reluctantly accepts.

Elise next appears at the grand staircase of Castle Krakenburg in Chapter 14, where she overhears Iago informing Hans of Camilla having defected to Corrin's army. She then hears Iago stating that the Nohrian army can't afford to lose any more of her royal children to Corrin's cause, a fact that causes her to resolve to defect to Corrin.

Later, when Corrin's army sets foot on the Port Town of Dia and is ambushed by a battalion of Nohrians led by Silas, Elise reunites with Corrin. Relieved to succeed in locating him, she announces her intent to join their cause. Camilla immediately rejects the notion and tries to convince her sister to return home for the sake of her own safety. On Elise's relentless insistence, Camilla eventually relents and Elise proceeds to throw herself into Corrin's arms in giddy joy. Elise's retainers Arthur and Effie appear on the scene shortly after, and after being briefly introduced to Corrin, they also pledge themselves to Corrin's cause. During the course of the ensuing battle, Elise stumbles upon Charlotte and Benny. She manages to persuade both of them to defect and join Corrin's army; Charlotte joins after realizing that she was talking to a royal, and Benny decides to follow Elise after talking with her. Following the conclusion of the battle with Corrin's victory, Elise encounters Azura for the first time in her life and immediately expresses excitement after confirming her identity as one of her older sisters. When Sakura enters the scene and timidly asks her to join a gathering of the rest of the army, Elise happily assents and flounces off with her new friend.

Elise subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to Anankos's machinations. She joins the other royal siblings of Hoshido and Nohr, vowing to maintain peace between the three kingdoms as Corrin is crowned the new ruler of Valla. She is last seen approaching Sakura, expressing joy in making friends with the Hoshidan princess and looking forward to future encounters with her, a sentiment Sakura shares.

If she marries Male Corrin or Ryoma, she will become the queen of Valla and Hoshido respectively.

"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Personality[]

As the youngest of the Nohrian siblings, Elise has very little memories of the hostile nature of the Nohrian royal court. As a result, Elise's personality is defined by a pronounced lack of jadedness or cynicism. She is often described as "light of the Nohr" for her innocent, pure, and sweet demeanor. Her spirit of positivity is a source of morale for her comrades despite the many horrors the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido bring. She is playful and eager to make friends with other members of the army and has an especially tight bond with her childhood friend and personal retainer Effie.

Elise adores her older siblings as she supports Xander's efforts and vision for Nohr and encourages him to consider peaceful approaches, rather than the Nohrian standard of "force must be met with force" mentality. She admires Camilla's mature charm and wants to be like her. However, Camilla admires her positivity and encourages her to simply be the person she has always been. She dyed strands of her hair purple out of affection and admiration to Camilla. With Leo she is impressed by his intellect and often goes to him whenever she needs something answered.

Though they are adopted, she adores her older sibling Corrin. As such, she is unrestrained in showing her affection for them, even hurling herself upon Corrin into a tender hug right from her very introduction. Despite being ordered not to accompany Corrin on their first mission by King Garon in Conquest, Elise openly defied the order and followed them, even assisting them. Likewise in Revelation, Elise excitedly joined Corrin without much need for persuasion to their cause, unlike her other siblings. She has always viewed them as an integral part of the family and hated seeing Xander and Corrin duel in Birthright. It is this love for her family that Elise put herself between Xander's finishing blow onto Corrin in a desperate bid to end the conflict between her precious family at the cost of her life.

Unlike her other siblings, Elise has a much more positive outlook on her Hoshidan royal sibling counterpart Sakura. Even when on opposing sides, she shows a much friendlier disposition compared to her older siblings and wanted to be friends with her. Their support has them bonding over their talents in music with Elise playing a violin and Sakura playing a koto. While her siblings have memories of Azura, she has none and she immediately wants to bond with her when they are recruited together. Though disappointed that Azura initially did not share this sentiment due to her own circumstances, her persistence won over Azura and she even received a kimono gifted to Azura by Queen Mikoto as an apology gift for hurting her initial feelings.

Elise is pained by the fact that she is the child of a concubine and that she was merely sired as a means to gain favor with Garon. The fact that her mother only seemed to care for Garon in her final moments despite Elise being next to her caused further hurt. She also has very little memories of her father and seemingly fears him in his current state. Nonetheless, Elise received much love from her wet nurse Cassita, whom she shares a true mother-daughter relationship and can be seen as the true source of Elise's spirit and cheer.

For all of her childish antics at times and innocence, Elise displays great observational skill and astuteness, adeptly adjusting her behavior to suit the occasion. Elise holds an altruistic approach with conflict and believes that Nohr needs to be lead by a person who can rule with both strength and compassion. She is more than willing to heal anyone, regardless of their past or their current action. Despite a sharp warning from Xander, she chose to heal enemy pirates. When they ultimately abandoned their captain as a result of her benevolence, it caused even Xander a moment of introspection on his beliefs.

Like all of her half-siblings, Elise despises all of her father's retainers Iago, Hans and Zola. When Iago attempts to kill Corrin for sparing Hinoka, Elise steps in, and along with the Nohrian royals, stands up to him by vowing to kill Iago for his cruel, disgraceful, and cowardly ways, and for being mean and attempting to kill Corrin many times and becomes grateful when Leo executes Iago, knowing he will not harm Corrin any longer.

She is the best at remembering birthdays in the army.

Base Class[]

Elise is highlighted by excellent Magic, Speed, Luck and Resistance, making her perfect for her base Troubadour. With her strong Magic, she is usually the most potent healer out of all Fates first generation units, which makes her exceptionally useful in Conquest and Revelation. Her low HP and Defense growths do leave her incredibly fragile to any sort of physical assault, so Elise needs to stay out of combat as much as possible. She is designed to serve as support unit instead, a fact accentuated by her personal skill, Lily's Poise, which grants a 1 damage boost and a 3 damage reduction to all allied units adjacent to her. Starting off with Resistance +2, one of two rudimentary Troubadour skills, Elise will see little use out of it as she advances in levels due to her high Resistance growth. She later learns Demoiselle, which grants male allies in a two-tile radius around her a 2 damage reduction. The effect of this skill stacks with that of Lily's Poise, thereby granting male allies a total damage reduction of 5, which is useful to have throughout the Conquest route.

Elise has direct access to Strategist and Maid, both of which gifts her offensive capabilities. In both cases, her Skill comes into play, but its middling growths makes it hard for her to hit her targets and likewise dodge. It also makes it difficult to activate skills, though she only has access to them through Friendship and Marriage classes. For the most part, her high Speed makes it easy for her to double on enemies, so attacking skills may only be necessary if their effects are needed.

As a Strategist, her stat strengths are further enhanced. A horse-mounted class, Strategist is more mobile than Maid. Additionally, it grants Elise the ability to wield Tomes, allowing her to double as both an effective healer and combat unit. One of the skills Elise stands to learn is Rally Resistance, which allows her to boost the Resistance of nearby allies. Inspiration is the other skill learnt, and is effectively an upgrade of Demoiselle, as it supports not just male allies, but also female ones as well.

As a Maid, Elise gains access to Shuriken, a weapon type that allows her to reduce the stats of enemies. Elise will not be able to function effectively as a combat unit in this class, owing to both the low Might of Shuriken and her horrible Strength, but this can be rather easily fixed by outfitting her with the Flame Shuriken and Felicia's Plate, both of which are weapons that capitalizes on her high Magic to increase her damage output. Unfortunately, two Arms Scrolls are needed to bring her up to the required rank to use these weapons.

Despite these flaws, Maid is not without its strengths; the skills that Elise stands to learn from it are beneficial to her in her role as a primary healer. Live to Serve allows her to replenish her HP equivalent to the amount recovered by ally units whom she heals. This skill is especially useful in situations where Elise is low on HP as her strong Magic growths leads to large health recovery for her ally, entailing an equally potent heal for herself. Tomebreaker, on the other hand, serves little purpose due to her high Resistance, though it can help cover up her poor accuracy. It also allows her to be a potential user of Bifröst, though a Felicia, Jakob, and Flora who have been equally trained with staves can still achieve the same effect as they all start off in the class itself.

Secondary Class[]

Elise's secondary class is Wyvern Rider, entailing the Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight promotions. For the most part, this class set is ill-suited for her, due to her low Strength. The base skills of the set are hardly useful aside from Lunge, which can prove useful when the need to reposition enemy units for swarming arises. The skills available to the promotions are, conversely, rather useful, and the player can thus consider reverting Elise to a magical class after obtaining them.

On the other hand, Wyvern Rider allows Elise to support her allies in a more direct manner outside healing by more directly weaponizing her personal skill. When adjacent to her, any supporting unit has a net gain of two Tonics for free, and her increased bulk allows her to more safely approach the front-line in order to provide that bonus more regularly. In the early game, a Strength Tonic, Strength +2, and a forged Bronze Axe are all Elise needs to contribute reliable damage either directly or via Attack Stance even on Lunatic difficulty, allowing her to reach C-rank Axes quickly and thus access the Bolt Axe, which her natural magic and promotion to Malig Knight support nicely going forward. One downside to this approach, however, is the use of the route's first Heart Seal, but when given to Elise, the early access to flight allows for greater flexibility. One notable advantage is allowing for a Nosferatu-armed Odin to easily reach the left-hand side of Conquest's Chapter 10, greatly alleviating the pressure on your other defenders.

As a Wyvern Lord, Elise stands to learn Rally Defense, which boosts the Defense of nearby allies, and Swordbreaker, which grants her the upper hand in battles against swordsmen. With Rally Defense in particular, she has two innate Rally skills in her base class sets. Unfortunately, as she will start off with E rank in Axes and Lances, two Arms Scrolls will be needed to bring her axe rank to C, so she can use Bolt Axes to capitalize on her Magic. Through proper Friendship and Marriage class adoptions as well as Unit Logbook resistance, she can be a potent Rally unit, especially when used in conjunction with her Personal Skill.

As a Malig Knight, Elise is able to wield Tomes, a fact that makes training her in this class a lot easier. She can learn Savage Blow, which allows her to inflict post-battle damage on enemies. She can also learn Trample, which increases her damage output by 5 if the opponent is not on a mount. As most Hoshidan units are not mounted, Trample is thus especially useful on the Conquest route.

Friendship Class[]
  • Effie: Effie provides her liege with Knight and its promotions, General and Great Knight. While Elise's low Strength makes her training in this set quite a grind, the main asset is the tremendous boost that it provides to her Defense growth. While her base set's Defense growth and cap is quite low, Elise can still reach the cap a lot quicker thanks to this class, which can prove to be a boon for her. In addition to this, the set also gives Elise access to a bevy of skills that are beneficial to her. For one, Luna, one of the two Great Knight skills, enhances the potency of her attacks by ignoring enemy Defense. Pavise, one of the two General skills, is yet another superb skill, owing to the fact that it shaves damage from most physical weapons, although Elise will need her Skill increased sufficiently in order to activate it consistently.
  • Azura: Azura provides her with Sky Knight and its promotions, Falcon Knight and Kinshi Knight. This set does little for Elise as her natural fragility, on top of the set's added weakness to Bows/Yumi, makes her extremely vulnerable. However, the skills that she stands to learn should not be neglected, as quite a few of them are beneficial to her. Rally Speed, one of the Falcon Knight's two skills, is one such skill, and it allows Elise to boost the Speed of nearby allies. Camaraderie and Amaterasu, Sky Knight and Kinshi Knight skills respectively, are HP-regeneration skills that enhance her role as a support unit by further complementing her personal skill, Demoiselle and Inspiration.
  • Sakura: Sakura is exclusive to Revelation and provides her with Shrine Maiden and its promotions, Priestess and Onmyoji. Shrine Maiden is a good alternative for Troubadour, as Elise's growths even out in this class. Her base set's weaknesses are unfortunately carried over to this set, and care should therefore be exercised when reclassing her into any of the classes within it. Miracle will also activate often given Elise's excellent Luck growth. As a Priestess, Elise's Defense is better enhanced compared to when she is an Onmyoji, although her low Strength translates to her not being able to effectively wield the Bows/Yumi that the class employs as its weapons of choice (unless she has a Shining Bow, that is). The class does provide decent skills that are beneficial to Elise, with Renewal giving her the ability to recover HP at the start of every turn and Countermagic allowing her to deflect magical damage inflicted against her. As an Onmyoji, Elise can learn Tomefaire to boost the potency of her magical attacks with Tomes/Scrolls armed, a boon that remains even when she is reverted to her base Strategist class.
Marriage Class[]
  • Male Corrin: Corrin provides her with whatever class the player chose as his secondary, including some that she cannot access otherwise (Spear Fighter, Apothecary, etc.). One of the best choices for Elise is Diviner, as it entails the Basara and Onmyoji promotions. While Diviner gives her Magic +2 for a decent initial boost in magic and Future Sight for increased experience, which compliments her high Luck growths. Basara and Onmyoji add even more bonuses. Basara gives her Rend Heaven, allowing her to fight heavy magic units with ease, though she will need to increase her Skill to activate it consistently despite the 1.5x activation rate. Quixotic increases her accuracy and skill activation which is useful to help her activate offensive skills and hit more often, but she must kill the opponent in one turn or its effects will most likely backfire on her. From Onmoyji, she can learn Rally Magic to further boost a rally role and Tomefaire to increase her magic output.
  • Benny: Benny provides Knight and its promotions, General and Great Knight. For more information, read Effie's section above.
  • Odin: Odin provides her with Dark Mage and its promotions, Sorcerer and Dark Knight. This set can suit Elise well in offense, as all of the classes use magic which compliments her high Magic. From Dark Mage, she can learn Malefic Aura to increase her damage a bit and Heartseeker to improve her accuracy by standing next to the opponent, though it can be dangerous given her poor HP and Defense. Sorcerer can provide her with Vengeance and Bowbreaker. While Vengeance can be put into question due to her low HP, Defense and Skill, it can allow her to deal more damage if her health is low. Bowbreaker makes her a better bow killing unit, and will also increase her subpar accuracy against evasive bow users. From Dark Knight, Elise can learn Seal Magic to cripple magical units slightly and Lifetaker to recover any health she loses, though her low health limits the use of Lifetaker.
  • Takumi: Takumi is exclusive to Revelation and provides her with Archer and its promotions, Sniper and Kinshi Knight. Elise has little use in this class, as she lacks physical power and it does nothing for her fragile defenses. However, some of the skills can be useful. Skill +2 can be used early on to improve her low Skill, but it better dropped for more superior skills later on. Quick Draw can be used to increase her damage output if she starts the battle. From Sniper, Elise can learn Certain Blow, which can help her significantly, given her low accuracy rates. Bowfaire is not as useful since neither of her base class promotions nor her secondary uses the Bows. For Kinshi Knight, read Azura's section above.
  • Ryoma: Ryoma is exclusive to Revelation and provides her with Samurai and its promotions, Swordmaster and Master of Arms. Elise won't perform well in this set due to her aforementioned lack of defensive and physical power, unless she gets to use a magical blade (Leo's Iceblade, Levin Sword). Still, the skills may be at least worth the effort - especially Astra from Swordmaster: it will let her perform 5 consecutive attacks with halved damage, which can be done even if she's in other classes.

Base Set[]

Elise's earliest time in Heroes was spent as the best staff unit overall due to having the best offensive stats and superior mobility of being a cavalry unit, giving her further reach than most other units. Like most staff units, she did not see her true rise to power until the Weapon Refinery ability was added. Unfortunately her time in the spotlight was overshadowed by the much better Maribelle and later Brave Veronica, the latter whom had a unique staff. Nonetheless, at 32 Atk and Spd, for a Book I healer, but she suffers from her low overall bulk with 49 physical and 66 magical. Fortunately, Dragonflowers can bring her stats up to the modern level, but she is not quite as strong as some other staff units like the aforementioned two healers and especially Bridal Fjorm.
Her starting Gravity+ staff cripples enemy movement to 1 when she initiates and with a Wrathful staff refine, she can apply this effect while dealing mild damage. Elise would later become the very first Staff unit to gain a new personal staff post launch with he eponymous Elise's Staff, which is essentially a stronger Gravity+ staff with built in Wrathful Staff. When refined, it also inflicts a -4 debuff to foes within two spaces of her if either she or her ally initiates combat on them, weakening her opponents for her to dispatch on her own or for an ally to do it for her. Recover gives her healing a base minimum of 25 with an Atk bane and 27 with a boon. When she does heal with her special charged, Kindled-Fire Balm boosts the Atk of all allies by 4. Finally, Elise can somewhat maintain her own HP through Live to Serve, which heals her a portion of the health she healed on an ally.

Counters[]

Elise on her own can do very little offensively without premium builds, relegating her to support if she cannot acquire Wrathful/Dazzling Staff. Her low physical bulk makes her extremely weak to any form of physical assault, especially if the enemy is running an anti-cavalry weapon. Any form of a magic bulky unit also can withstand her assault such as Caeda, Fae, and Micaiah, especially the latter who deals effective damage against her. Raventome and units with variations of that weapon, such as both Mage Robins, Lyon, and Sophia can inflict a triangle disadvantage on her, and push it further with Triangle Adept.

Skill Inheritance Options[]

Like many staff units, Elise is best left to the fan-coined Razzle-Dazzle set. Using a combination of her new personal staff and Dazzling Staff, she can attack at full power and negate counterattacks. Savage Blow on both her Skill C and Seal slot allows her to chip away at her foe's HP as well as the enemies near them. In combination with a Pain staff instead leads to even more chip damage, though at the cost of some raw power. Healing is still an option so Heavenly Light and or any advanced form of Kindled-Fire Balm are great supportive options. The flat boost of Atk/Spd +2 is her only means to gain a stat boost for her Skill A an is the best overall to ensure that she can inflict as much damage as possible.

On a budget or going for a full supportive build, Elise can run Ploy skills on her Skill C as her high Res makes her a great a candidate. Alternatively Cavalry related skills can be used if she is on a Cavalry team. Wings of Mercy allows her to teleport to wounded allies and heal them.

Base Set[]

Summer Elise forgoes her Cavalry Staff status and becomes an infantry Green Mage. Overall, she is similar to Nino, focused on strong offense while having very little bulk. Unfortunately, this also means that she is similar to a much more easily accessible statwise version of herself. Nevertheless, Summer Elise is a great unit starting with her Hibiscus Tome, granting allies +1 to Atk/Spd during combat, which is a small buff, but still has its uses. Rally Atk/Res boosts an ally's Atk/Res by 3. Speed +3 is her Skill A which is not useful in the long run. G Tome Valor is an excellent training skill as it allows more SP gain for Summer Elise and all Green Tome allies.

Counters[]

Summer Elise has low defenses, meaning that any Green and Red physical unit can easily counter her with little effort. Red Mages especially counter her with the color advantage such as Tharja, Celica, and Katarina. Archers such as Innes, Setsuna, Bridal Cordelia, and Klein who can make usage of either their high Res bulk and/or usage of a Brave Bow easily dispatch her.

Skill Inheritance Options[]

As a Nino clone in terms of stats, Summer Elise works wonders with a Gronnblade+ tome and thus the standard Blade tome skill set of Glimmer to make usage of the stat buffs needed to empower it, Ardent Sacrifice to instantly get her into low enough to enter Desperation range. Fury for flat stat bonuses and another means to use Desperation and Hone Attack to boost allies.

Base Set[]

Hot Spring Elise is a seasonal Red Dagger Cavalry unit, making her a unique unit upon her introduction. Her statline is optimized for offense with good Atk and very high Spd, allowing her to dish out great damage. Her downside is trading her bulk in exchange, leaving her extremely vulnerable. With access to Cavalry buffs, her strengths far outweigh her weaknesses.

Her weapon is Red-Hot Ducks, which calculates the difference between her Spd and her opponents'. If it is higher, she will deal 70% of the difference to her enemy (capping at 7). The boost is minimal, but it does allow her to punish much slower opponents and given her high Spd cap, she can easily access the damage boost, especially with a Boon. Rally Up Atk+ is a superior Rally skill as it not only boosts the Atk of an ally she rallies by 6, but also allies within two spaces of the target, giving her a wide team buff with proper positioning. Swift Sparrow is a highly coveted skill and works perfectly to maximize Hot Spring Elise's offense as she is primarily meant to be used as a player turn character due to her lacking bulk. With it, she reaches a powerful 49 Atk and 41 Spd with neutral IVs. Attack Feint inflicts a -7 Atk debuff on foes in her cardinal directions when she uses her Rally skill on an ally. Dagger Valor is a pure training skill, giving her dagger allies two times the SP gain when she is deployed with the skill. Excellent for training, but ultimately needing to be replaced for competitive play.

Counters[]

Hot Spring Elise's status as a Red Dagger unit is a bit of a hindrance as she is subject to the Weapon Triangle when most dagger units would prefer to remain colorless to make only Raventomes a problem. She lacks bulk, leaving her with few options of enemies to soak and bait attacks aside from certain green units. Blue units utterly destroy Elise and most Anti-Cavalry units, even Rhajat, can easily run through her.

Skill Inheritance[]

Reposition is an excellent Assist Skill if using Hot Spring Elise to rally is not to the player's liking. Moonbow or Glimmer are excellent offensive skill options to either ignore a portion of the enemy Def or make usage of Cavalry buffs for bonus damage. Desperation allows her to guarantee an immediate follow-up attack, potentially negating the threat of most Distant Counter enemies. Her Skill C is flexible, though Speed Wave skills are best for her as she can apply the buff to herself to boost the damage of her Ducks while Hone Cavalry is an excellent supportive skill if planning on using her for a Cavalry team.
