'''Lewyn''' is a playable character from ''[[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]''. He is the prince of [[Silesse]] and the son of Queen [[Lahna]]. He is also a direct descendant of [[Twelve Crusaders|Crusader]] [[Ced (Crusader)|Ced]], the founder of Silesse. Lewyn is 20 years old, according to the [[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Mitsuki Oosawa manga)|Mitsuki Oosawa manga]].
'''Levn''' (レヴィン, Revin?, translated '''Levin''' in fan translations) is the Prince of Silesia and the son of Queen [[Rahna]] and the late king of Silesia. He is a direct descendant of [[Sety (Crusader)|Sety]], the founder of Silesia. Before ''[[Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu]]'' began, he ran away and went missing from home. During his travels, he met [[Sylvia]], a dancer. He has the skills [[Critical (skill)|Critical]] and [[Continue]]. In Chapter 4, he goes back to Silesia Castle, and his mother Rahna gives him the legendary tome Holsety. His best suitor is arguably [[Ferry]], who is confirmed as his wife in ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]''. Only Ferry, [[Sylvia]], and [[Tailto]] let him pass Holsety onto Celice's generation. After the battle of Barhara, Levn is killed by [[Manfroy]] (shown in the opening, after the game is finished several times), but [[Holsety (character)|Holsety]] resurrected him, at cost of several parts of his memories, which would explain his behavior in the second part of the game, where he serves as [[Celice]]'s adviser. He is really protective of [[Yuria]] in the second half of the game.
 
   
===Personality===
+
==Profile==
  +
Prior to the events of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'', Lewyn ran away from Silesse to explore the world outside of the country. Along the way, he befriended [[Sylvia]], a dancer, who develops romantic feelings for him. The [[Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War (Mitsuki Oosawa manga)|Mitsuki Oosawa manga]] offers an explanation: Lewyn was among the few people who treated her well in her short life.
In the first generation, Levn seemed to be very flirtatious. He is noticeably more mature in the second generation, as well as seemingly cold and distant from his family, such as when he was told of Ferry's death, he replied "Well, that's too bad". Whether this is due to him being older, his death and resurrection, or his possession by Holsety is unknown. The exception is if Levn was paired with Tailto. When Teeny told him how she suffered under Hilda's abuse, Levn ends up crying on her sad fate, but he quickly dismissed it as a mere 'sand in the eye'.
 
   
  +
In Chapter 4, Lewyn will snap out of his senses and agree to take the throne of Silesse after the death of [[Annand]]. His mother will then give him the divine tome [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]], knowing that he will follow the just path of the Wind Crusader. [[Erinys]] Lewyn's canonical wife in the events of ''Thracia 776''. They will then have two children, [[Ced (character)|Ced]] and [[Fee]]. However, Lewyn can be married to any other female character in ''Genealogy.''
When recruiting Ferry, it is noted that he says he likes the freedom he has and he seems to hate responsibility, but when he says "You know who suffers then? The people" it may imply that he either doubts his ability to rule Silesia or possibly that he cares for the people that if he slips up the people will suffer- and he doesn't want that.
 
   
  +
After the [[Battle of Belhalla]], Lewyn is killed by [[Manfroy]] (revealed in the opening, after the game is finished several times), but will later be resurrected by [[Forseti (character)|Forseti]]. He will then join [[Seliph]] in the second generation, serving as his adviser. In the past he took care an amnesiac [[Julia (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Julia]] after she was spirited away from Grannvale, and according to Shouzou Kaga's notes, he also was the traveling merchant who taught [[Tailtiu]]'s son [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]] wind magic.<ref>http://serenesforest.net/general/designers-notes/holy-war/shouzou-kagas-comments/</ref>
==In-Game==
 
Despite the fact he doesn't have the [[Pursuit]] skill, Levn is very powerful. He specializes in [[Wind (magic)|Wind Magic]], the best kind of magic that is the lightest, and combining that with his amazing speed due to his Holsety (Major) holy blood, Levn is a dodging machine. In Chapter 4, he gets [[Holsety (tome)|Holsety]] if he enters Silesia Castle, and with this, he will get hit by like nothing, he will be activating [[Adept|Continue]] more often then not, and he'll hit extremely hard. Make sure he is paired with either [[Ferry]], [[Tailto]], or [[Sylvia]] to ensure that [[Holsety (tome)|Holsety]] is passed down to someone who can use it.
 
   
  +
It is revealed in the epilogue that Lewyn was almost surely possessed by Forseti's spirit throughout the events of the second generation, rather than being properly resurrected, as Seliph expresses gratitude towards Forseti for guiding his army through the hardships faced during the course of the holy war.

==Personality==
{{Charstat/end}}
 
  +
In the first generation, Lewyn sports a rather flirtatious personality, being rather mischievous around characters of the opposite gender. However, he is not without his depths: when Erinys asks him to return to Silesse, Lewyn rhetorically remarks "You know who suffers then? The people." This may imply that Lewyn either doubts his ability to rule Silesse or that he is afraid of slipping up in his duties as the head figure of the country and causing suffering among of the commoners.
   
  +
Lewyn's fun-loving personality changes drastically in the second generation, where he is much more mature and refined in his mannerisms and speech, as well as being relatively cold and distant towards his family members. For instance, when Ced confronts him about Erinys' death, he merely replies with a curt "Well, that's too bad." In the case of Fee, he is slightly more harsh, as he retorts: "Fee, look, I'm sorry about Erinys...But what went on between the two of us is really none of yours or Ced's damn business!" Still, he is not completely devoid of emotions, as can be seen in a conversation he shares with [[Tine]] if he is paired up with [[Tailtiu]]. In this conversation, Lewyn is observed to tear up upon learning of Tailtiu's tragic death in the hands of [[Hilda (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Hilda]]. His emotional side also expressed in another conversation that he shares with [[Lene]] if he is paired up with Silvia: within this conversation, Lewyn is shown to have a kind demeanor as he comforts Lene upon learning that she has been abandoned by Silvia. He then reassures her that her parents are still alive, not once dropping any hints on his true identity as her father. Perhaps the reason for this drastic change in personality is Forseti possessing him during the second generation, and if so, his harshness towards his children may simply be Forseti trying to avoid emotional confrontation.

====Overall====

{{Subjective}}
In Chapter 2, [[Siglud]] can talk to Levn, but nothing will result of it.
 
  +
Lewyn, like many foot units, is an excellent overall combat unit. He sports a very high [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] growth which will give him excellent [[Evasion]], and despite the fact that he does not have [[Pursuit]], he is still a ridiculously strong offensive unit. While his overall offensive potential is extremely high, Lewyn does have a few drawbacks. The first being his low [[Movement]], making it difficult to have him see much actual combat. Maps in ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' are huge, and Lewyn will have trouble keeping up. The other drawback is having the most inconsistent damage output in the game. The possible outcomes from him engaging in combat range from simply attacking once and not even managing to kill a regular enemy unit, or blowing up a [[Boss]] with a barrage of 4 attacks full of critical strikes. This is because Lewyn's skills, [[Adept]] and [[Critical]], are dependent on RNG. Since they key off his Skill and Speed, which are rather good, Lewyn tends to average around 30-50% odds of activating Adept, and 10-20% odds of activating Critical. The odds are mostly in Lewyn's favor, though, and his base damage with Elwind is high enough that he will usually take a chunk off an enemy even if he fails to activate either skill. If you want Lewyn to be even stronger (which is wholly unnecessary), you could sell him the [[Pursuit Ring]], but there are many characters that need the item more than Lewyn.
   
  +
In Chapter 4, Lewyn will receive the [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]] tome from his mother, [[Lahna]], when he enters [[Silesse]] Castle, and it is at this moment that he will become virtually unstoppable. He gains an additional 10 Skill and 20 Speed while equipping the tome, giving him roughly 100 Evade, a 65% chance of activating Adept, roughly 35% chance to Critical, and an absurdly strong attack strength of 50-60. He can slay even Holy Weapon wielding Bosses with relative ease. His movement remains comparatively limited, meaning faster playthroughs can end up leaving him behind, but his power is so ridiculous that if the power of the game's combined mounted units is ever insufficient, Lewyn will be more than enough to make up for it.
In Chapter 2, if Levn talks to [[Ferry]], Ferry will be recruited.
 
   
  +
====Father Overview====
In Chapter 4, after Silesia Castle is captured, Levn can talk to [[Siglud]], but nothing will result of it.
 
  +
Lewyn makes a great father overall. He is tied with [[Chulainn]] for highest overall growths for a male suitor and second highest overall growths in the first generation (both of them only losing to [[Sigurd]]), makes any of his children extremely fast, and passes on two explosive combat skills for them to inherit. Furthermore, he is capable of passing on both [[Holy Blood]] and the Holy Weapon [[Forseti]] to certain children, which is arguably the best weapon in the entire game. His main downsides as a father are his low [[Strength]] not being ideal for physical children and his lack of [[Pursuit]]. It is arguable that none of these details are of import, as Forseti being inherited is the main focal point of Lewyn's pairing.
   
  +
Lewyn is best paired with Erinys or Tailtiu. While there are some benefits for other pairings, the rest should generally be avoided because no other children can inherit Forseti, Lewyn cannot pass on weapons to them, they will lack Pursuit, or his low Strength growth will negatively impact the children. If you must defy this recommendation, [[Ayra]] is the best option, especially if you have them pass down Magic Swords to the children and have one of the children buy then Flame Sword, however compared to many other of Ayra's pairings this may be unreliable.
In Chapter 4, if Levn enters Silesia Castle, Levn will gain the [[Holsety (tome)|Holsety]] tome. '''Make Sure You Do This.'''
 
  +
* [[Erinys]]: Many players choose this pairing not only because it is heavily promoted by the in-game mechanics and is canonical according to the events of ''[[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776]]'', but because its benefits far outweigh the negatives. Erinys already provides Pursuit to her children, and combined with [[Adept]] and [[Critical]], [[Fee]] will have some great offensive potential. Unfortunately, she will have a pretty bad Strength growth from this pairing, but her other stats and skills should make up for this shortcoming, and in any case she will gain five points of strength for free from a conversation from Lewyn (Seliph) in chapter 10. Giving her a [[Power Ring]] for Fee to inherit may be a good idea. [[Ced (character)|Ced]] will be a force of nature, with great growths across the board, a plethora of offensive skills, and most importantly he will inherit the Forseti tome which will make him a virtual god.
  +
* [[Tailtiu]]: This is a good pairing in an efficient playthrough, as [[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]] will be able to put Forseti to use much earlier than Ced can. Both of Tailtiu's children wield Magic, so Lewyn is a great fit for them. Arthur will be godlike with Adept, Critical, and Forseti, as well as having a mount, while [[Tine]] will turn out strong, though the lack of Pursuit in this pairing will be more noticeable on her since she will be wielding weaker tomes.
  +
* [[Sylvia]]: This pairing will result in [[Coirpre]] receiving Forseti, but he joins you very late in the second generation and you will not get as much use out of such a powerful item. Coirpre in general is not quite as good of a fighting unit as Ced or Arthur, so he is not quite as potent as Forseti's wielder, though he will still be great. [[Lene]] does not really benefit much from the pairing, but she will turn out fine. All in all, this pairing is fine but you just get much better use out of Forseti from Lewyn's other pairings.
  +
* [[Ayra]]: The best wild card option, she innately has Astra, but she does not let Lewyn pass down Forseti. Lewyn is Ayra's best magic oriented option. It is recommended that you have them pass down Thunder or Wind Sword to one of the children and have the other buy the Flame Sword during Chapter 7. Lewyn can also pass down his Magic growths and Critical Skill to them.

  +
In Chapter 2, if Lewyn speaks to [[Erinys]], she will be recruited into the army.

In terms of raw damage output, Lewyn is one of the strongest green mages in the game. His starting base kit, while not incredible, holds up relatively well, and he requires little outside inheritance to be competitively viable. This is cemented through his claim-to-fame [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]] which guarantees an immediate follow up attack to his first attack so long as he initiates battle and is over 50% health at the start. Lewyn melts through a wide range of units save for magically bulkiest of enemies and emerges from most battles without suffering any damage and maintaining Forseti's effect. Later on, it gained a simple, yet powerful refine. Not only the HP condition is reduced to 25% of his health, he also gains 4 points of attack and speed. With the special refine, as long as his target is with or above 75% of its health, he gain an additional 4 points to his attack and speed and neutralizes any debuffs focused on those stats.
  +
  +
His base kit perfectly synergies with Forseti and emphasizes the player-turn hyper-offensive style. [[Swift Sparrow]] is a staple of many player-phase nukes, and sets him up for inheriting higher levels of said skill by default. [[Odd Attack Wave]] is fairly outdated but perfectly usable on a budget. Save for some of the fastest characters, few can survive or prevent his Forseti follow ups. As a standard Mage, he loves receiving buffs and [[Glimmer]] capitalizes on the stat boosts to further increase damage output. Lewyn's final jewel is [[Special Spiral]] a skill that he both introduced and uses with incredible effectiveness. If he completes a battle and triggered a Special attack during that battle, he immediately reduces his special cooldown by 2, keeping his specials charged after every battle.
  +
  +
=====Counters=====
  +
Lewyn is far too delicate and is at his weakest during the Enemy turn. He absolutely wants to avoid being initiated on all circumstances. Bulky units with [[Distant Counter]] are particularly troublesome for him as they can retaliate hard if he fails to kill them, especially red units like [[Hríd]], [[Ryoma|Legendary Ryoma]], and [[Ike|Fallen Ike]]. Highly resistant red enemies like [[Henriette|Valentine's Henriette]], [[Solon]], and [[Altina]] can withstand his offense and retaliate hard. Finally, his reliance on his tome's follow up attack leaves him vulnerable to [[Wary Fighter]] opponents and other forms of follow-up denial. Both his low Res and HP also leave him vulnerable to most conventional Ploy users as well, hampering some of his offense.
  +
  +
=====Skill Inheritance Options=====
  +
Realistically speaking, all Lewyn needs is an Assist skill - he already comes with nearly everything he could want on offense, though an upgrade to his Swift Sparrow never hurts. Standard Assist skill [[Draw Back]] is a solid choice as he can reposition himself and keep a tankier ally in front of him, offering some protection on the turns he is not attacking.
  +
  +
However, an unorthodox route involves inheriting AoE special like Blazing Wind, given Special Spiral's synergy with the skill. As for the Sacred Seal, Lewyn will always want Flashing Blade; since he has no way of charging his Special faster without Infantry Pulse support, the Seal allows Lewyn to get his Special off repeatedly when he has the support of a Dancer.

==Etymology==
  +
Lewyn is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English pre 7th Century personal name ''Leofwine'' which is composed of the elements "leof", dear, beloved and "wine", friend, meaning "''Dearest friend''". This possibly reflect on his friendship with the army in general.
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*According to an interview in the ''Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War TREASURE'' book, [[Shouzou Kaga]] states that Lewyn's survival is due to the intervention of Forseti who appeared in Jugdral during the [[Miracle of Darna]]: this act broke a dragon taboo of noninterference in human affairs.<ref>Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War TREASURE, p.91</ref>
  +
*[[Joshua]] from ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones]]'' bears a striking resemblance to Lewyn, given that both are runaway princes, terrible flirts, and have affinities with Wind Magic (Lewyn as a magic user, and Joshua as a support affinity.) Their names also stem from Hebrew, and they both inherit the throne from their late mothers.

Latest revision as of 02:31, 11 April 2024

This article is about the Jugdral character, for the Magic Sword, see Levin Sword.

“You have to be careful when placing labels on good and evil, Seliph. Never waste your anger on individuals. Always focus it on the evil within all of us.”
—Lewyn

Lewyn is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. He is the prince of Silesse and the son of Queen Lahna. He is also a direct descendant of Crusader Ced, the founder of Silesse. Lewyn is 20 years old, according to the Mitsuki Oosawa manga.

Profile

Prior to the events of Genealogy of the Holy War, Lewyn ran away from Silesse to explore the world outside of the country. Along the way, he befriended Sylvia, a dancer, who develops romantic feelings for him. The Mitsuki Oosawa manga offers an explanation: Lewyn was among the few people who treated her well in her short life.

In Chapter 4, Lewyn will snap out of his senses and agree to take the throne of Silesse after the death of Annand. His mother will then give him the divine tome Forseti, knowing that he will follow the just path of the Wind Crusader. Erinys Lewyn's canonical wife in the events of Thracia 776. They will then have two children, Ced and Fee. However, Lewyn can be married to any other female character in Genealogy.

After the Battle of Belhalla, Lewyn is killed by Manfroy (revealed in the opening, after the game is finished several times), but will later be resurrected by Forseti. He will then join Seliph in the second generation, serving as his adviser. In the past he took care an amnesiac Julia after she was spirited away from Grannvale, and according to Shouzou Kaga's notes, he also was the traveling merchant who taught Tailtiu's son Arthur wind magic.[1]

It is revealed in the epilogue that Lewyn was almost surely possessed by Forseti's spirit throughout the events of the second generation, rather than being properly resurrected, as Seliph expresses gratitude towards Forseti for guiding his army through the hardships faced during the course of the holy war.

Personality

In the first generation, Lewyn sports a rather flirtatious personality, being rather mischievous around characters of the opposite gender. However, he is not without his depths: when Erinys asks him to return to Silesse, Lewyn rhetorically remarks "You know who suffers then? The people." This may imply that Lewyn either doubts his ability to rule Silesse or that he is afraid of slipping up in his duties as the head figure of the country and causing suffering among of the commoners.

Lewyn's fun-loving personality changes drastically in the second generation, where he is much more mature and refined in his mannerisms and speech, as well as being relatively cold and distant towards his family members. For instance, when Ced confronts him about Erinys' death, he merely replies with a curt "Well, that's too bad." In the case of Fee, he is slightly more harsh, as he retorts: "Fee, look, I'm sorry about Erinys...But what went on between the two of us is really none of yours or Ced's damn business!" Still, he is not completely devoid of emotions, as can be seen in a conversation he shares with Tine if he is paired up with Tailtiu. In this conversation, Lewyn is observed to tear up upon learning of Tailtiu's tragic death in the hands of Hilda. His emotional side also expressed in another conversation that he shares with Lene if he is paired up with Silvia: within this conversation, Lewyn is shown to have a kind demeanor as he comforts Lene upon learning that she has been abandoned by Silvia. He then reassures her that her parents are still alive, not once dropping any hints on his true identity as her father. Perhaps the reason for this drastic change in personality is Forseti possessing him during the second generation, and if so, his harshness towards his children may simply be Forseti trying to avoid emotional confrontation.

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.

Lewyn, like many foot units, is an excellent overall combat unit. He sports a very high Speed growth which will give him excellent Evasion, and despite the fact that he does not have Pursuit, he is still a ridiculously strong offensive unit. While his overall offensive potential is extremely high, Lewyn does have a few drawbacks. The first being his low Movement, making it difficult to have him see much actual combat. Maps in Genealogy of the Holy War are huge, and Lewyn will have trouble keeping up. The other drawback is having the most inconsistent damage output in the game. The possible outcomes from him engaging in combat range from simply attacking once and not even managing to kill a regular enemy unit, or blowing up a Boss with a barrage of 4 attacks full of critical strikes. This is because Lewyn's skills, Adept and Critical, are dependent on RNG. Since they key off his Skill and Speed, which are rather good, Lewyn tends to average around 30-50% odds of activating Adept, and 10-20% odds of activating Critical. The odds are mostly in Lewyn's favor, though, and his base damage with Elwind is high enough that he will usually take a chunk off an enemy even if he fails to activate either skill. If you want Lewyn to be even stronger (which is wholly unnecessary), you could sell him the Pursuit Ring, but there are many characters that need the item more than Lewyn.

In Chapter 4, Lewyn will receive the Forseti tome from his mother, Lahna, when he enters Silesse Castle, and it is at this moment that he will become virtually unstoppable. He gains an additional 10 Skill and 20 Speed while equipping the tome, giving him roughly 100 Evade, a 65% chance of activating Adept, roughly 35% chance to Critical, and an absurdly strong attack strength of 50-60. He can slay even Holy Weapon wielding Bosses with relative ease. His movement remains comparatively limited, meaning faster playthroughs can end up leaving him behind, but his power is so ridiculous that if the power of the game's combined mounted units is ever insufficient, Lewyn will be more than enough to make up for it.

Father Overview

Lewyn makes a great father overall. He is tied with Chulainn for highest overall growths for a male suitor and second highest overall growths in the first generation (both of them only losing to Sigurd), makes any of his children extremely fast, and passes on two explosive combat skills for them to inherit. Furthermore, he is capable of passing on both Holy Blood and the Holy Weapon Forseti to certain children, which is arguably the best weapon in the entire game. His main downsides as a father are his low Strength not being ideal for physical children and his lack of Pursuit. It is arguable that none of these details are of import, as Forseti being inherited is the main focal point of Lewyn's pairing.

Lewyn is best paired with Erinys or Tailtiu. While there are some benefits for other pairings, the rest should generally be avoided because no other children can inherit Forseti, Lewyn cannot pass on weapons to them, they will lack Pursuit, or his low Strength growth will negatively impact the children. If you must defy this recommendation, Ayra is the best option, especially if you have them pass down Magic Swords to the children and have one of the children buy then Flame Sword, however compared to many other of Ayra's pairings this may be unreliable.

  • Erinys: Many players choose this pairing not only because it is heavily promoted by the in-game mechanics and is canonical according to the events of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, but because its benefits far outweigh the negatives. Erinys already provides Pursuit to her children, and combined with Adept and Critical, Fee will have some great offensive potential. Unfortunately, she will have a pretty bad Strength growth from this pairing, but her other stats and skills should make up for this shortcoming, and in any case she will gain five points of strength for free from a conversation from Lewyn (Seliph) in chapter 10. Giving her a Power Ring for Fee to inherit may be a good idea. Ced will be a force of nature, with great growths across the board, a plethora of offensive skills, and most importantly he will inherit the Forseti tome which will make him a virtual god.
  • Tailtiu: This is a good pairing in an efficient playthrough, as Arthur will be able to put Forseti to use much earlier than Ced can. Both of Tailtiu's children wield Magic, so Lewyn is a great fit for them. Arthur will be godlike with Adept, Critical, and Forseti, as well as having a mount, while Tine will turn out strong, though the lack of Pursuit in this pairing will be more noticeable on her since she will be wielding weaker tomes.
  • Sylvia: This pairing will result in Coirpre receiving Forseti, but he joins you very late in the second generation and you will not get as much use out of such a powerful item. Coirpre in general is not quite as good of a fighting unit as Ced or Arthur, so he is not quite as potent as Forseti's wielder, though he will still be great. Lene does not really benefit much from the pairing, but she will turn out fine. All in all, this pairing is fine but you just get much better use out of Forseti from Lewyn's other pairings.
  • Ayra: The best wild card option, she innately has Astra, but she does not let Lewyn pass down Forseti. Lewyn is Ayra's best magic oriented option. It is recommended that you have them pass down Thunder or Wind Sword to one of the children and have the other buy the Flame Sword during Chapter 7. Lewyn can also pass down his Magic growths and Critical Skill to them.

Conversations

In Chapter 2, Sigurd may speak to Lewyn, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 2, if Lewyn speaks to Erinys, she will be recruited into the army.

In Chapter 4, after Silesse Castle is captured, Lewyn may speak to Sigurd, but nothing will result of it.

In Chapter 4, if Lewyn enters Silesse Castle, he will obtain the Forseti tome.

In Chapter 4, if neither Lewyn nor Erinys has a lover after Silesse Castle is captured, Erinys may speak to Lewyn, resulting in the pair falling in love immediately.

In Chapter 5, after Phinora Castle is captured, if Lewyn is in love with either Erinys or Sylvia, his lover in question may speak to him, but nothing will result of it.

Base Skills

In terms of raw damage output, Lewyn is one of the strongest green mages in the game. His starting base kit, while not incredible, holds up relatively well, and he requires little outside inheritance to be competitively viable. This is cemented through his claim-to-fame Forseti which guarantees an immediate follow up attack to his first attack so long as he initiates battle and is over 50% health at the start. Lewyn melts through a wide range of units save for magically bulkiest of enemies and emerges from most battles without suffering any damage and maintaining Forseti's effect. Later on, it gained a simple, yet powerful refine. Not only the HP condition is reduced to 25% of his health, he also gains 4 points of attack and speed. With the special refine, as long as his target is with or above 75% of its health, he gain an additional 4 points to his attack and speed and neutralizes any debuffs focused on those stats.

His base kit perfectly synergies with Forseti and emphasizes the player-turn hyper-offensive style. Swift Sparrow is a staple of many player-phase nukes, and sets him up for inheriting higher levels of said skill by default. Odd Attack Wave is fairly outdated but perfectly usable on a budget. Save for some of the fastest characters, few can survive or prevent his Forseti follow ups. As a standard Mage, he loves receiving buffs and Glimmer capitalizes on the stat boosts to further increase damage output. Lewyn's final jewel is Special Spiral a skill that he both introduced and uses with incredible effectiveness. If he completes a battle and triggered a Special attack during that battle, he immediately reduces his special cooldown by 2, keeping his specials charged after every battle.

Counters

Lewyn is far too delicate and is at his weakest during the Enemy turn. He absolutely wants to avoid being initiated on all circumstances. Bulky units with Distant Counter are particularly troublesome for him as they can retaliate hard if he fails to kill them, especially red units like Hríd, Legendary Ryoma, and Fallen Ike. Highly resistant red enemies like Valentine's Henriette, Solon, and Altina can withstand his offense and retaliate hard. Finally, his reliance on his tome's follow up attack leaves him vulnerable to Wary Fighter opponents and other forms of follow-up denial. Both his low Res and HP also leave him vulnerable to most conventional Ploy users as well, hampering some of his offense.

Skill Inheritance Options

Realistically speaking, all Lewyn needs is an Assist skill - he already comes with nearly everything he could want on offense, though an upgrade to his Swift Sparrow never hurts. Standard Assist skill Draw Back is a solid choice as he can reposition himself and keep a tankier ally in front of him, offering some protection on the turns he is not attacking.

However, an unorthodox route involves inheriting AoE special like Blazing Wind, given Special Spiral's synergy with the skill. As for the Sacred Seal, Lewyn will always want Flashing Blade; since he has no way of charging his Special faster without Infantry Pulse support, the Seal allows Lewyn to get his Special off repeatedly when he has the support of a Dancer.

Wind-Song Scion Lewyn
Lewyn wind-song scion pop01 A stylish guest from Silesse has come to attend the Day of the Twelve festival! That's right, it's Lewyn, and he's making an appearance in a special outfit!
Lewyn wind-song scion pop02 This elegant outfit is based on the attire worn by Ced, Lewyn's ancestor. He was one of the 12 crusaders, who once carried the wind tome Forseti!
Lewyn wind-song scion pop03 The green shawl Lewyn is wearing calls to mind a gentle breeze, and it comes complete with metallic fittings that gleam with the light. Lewyn once guided Seliph, the Scion of Light, so I'd say that it's a pretty appropriate addition!
Lewyn wind-song scion pop04 Lewyn has something of a relaxed, mature attitude that makes him seem rather grown-up compared to others. I hope that he'll continue to look out for the younger Heroes at the festival!

Etymology

Lewyn is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English pre 7th Century personal name Leofwine which is composed of the elements "leof", dear, beloved and "wine", friend, meaning "Dearest friend". This possibly reflect on his friendship with the army in general.

Trivia

  • According to an interview in the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War TREASURE book, Shouzou Kaga states that Lewyn's survival is due to the intervention of Forseti who appeared in Jugdral during the Miracle of Darna: this act broke a dragon taboo of noninterference in human affairs.[2]
  • Joshua from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones bears a striking resemblance to Lewyn, given that both are runaway princes, terrible flirts, and have affinities with Wind Magic (Lewyn as a magic user, and Joshua as a support affinity.) Their names also stem from Hebrew, and they both inherit the throne from their late mothers.
