“Oh! My manners have gone right out the window. I'm Sharena, Alfonse's darling little sister.”

What is the significance of Sharena's lance, Fensalir? toggle section

Fensalir is Sharena's legendary lance in Fire Emblem Heroes. It requires Sharena to be at a 5-star rarity to use its skill, which gives a 10% chance to lower enemy strength by 10% for 10 seconds. This ability was removed in September 2020, making Fensalir a cosmetic item. The name Fensalir comes from Norse mythology, where it is the home of the goddess Frigg.

Profile[]

Sharena is able to remember visiting Ljósálfheimr, the realm of dreams as a child, something that would normally be unusual for someone of her age. These memories took place in the past, when Dream-King Freyr and Lady Freyja opened the Dream Gate, she used to play with other children frequently in her dreams, one of which looked like her. They regularly swapped clothes, hairstyles and eventually, lives. The two of them switched places so many times that they lost track of which of them was originally Sharena. When Freyr and Freyja offered the children the dream nectar, one of the two fled, and became the Sharena that would grow up in Askr.

Sharena was taught how to use a lance by Zacharias, a former member of the Order of Heroes. She has been part of the Order of Heroes for quite a while, and often writes letters to her mother. Though both live in the same castle, they rarely speak to one another.

In Paralogue 7, after beating the first stage, Sharena immediately befriends Katarina, who claims to have more allies that she would like Sharena to meet. She then leads them into an ambush. Alfonse expresses his distrust of Katarina, but Sharena defends her new friend. In the third stage, Katarina asks Sharena why she defended her and Sharena replies saying that that's what friends do. Moved by her words, Katarina then warns them of the ambush that she set, much to Clarisse's disliking. In the end, while Sharena feels discouraged that she put people at risk, Alfonse assures her that her ability to trust people is something she should cherish.

Book III[]

"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

In an alternative timeline, Hel 's invasion of Askr lead to the death of Kiran when the Order of Heroes activated the Heart's Rite ritual in order to combat Hel. As a result, Kiran was among the casualties of the rite. Despite the power of the ritual, it was still not enough to end Hel's invasion and in one last battle, Sharena was killed by Hel herself in front of Alfonse.

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

Book IV[]

While in Ljósálfheimr, when the group meets Peony, Sharena vaguely remembers the ljósálfr from her dreams, which makes both girls very happy. Over the course of the story, Sharena continues to have odd recollections of her time in Ljósálfheimr, even mentioning meeting a girl who looked identical to her. Eventually, this comes to a head when Freyja claims that she abandoned her friends within the dream realm when she didn't drink her share of the nectar that would have transformed her into an alfar and instead returned to the real world. In truth, the girl whom became Peony drank Sharena's share, preventing her from transforming into an alfar like the other human girls.

Sharena and the girl that became Peony were particularly close, looking similar enough to one another that they would often dress and pretend to be each other in the real world. When Sharena has her lost memories restored by Freyja, she recalls both her life as the Askr princess and of the commoner she masqueraded as. Because she and Peony had exchanged places so often, she grows confused and begins to doubt that she is the "real" Sharena, and may in fact be the other girl.

Ultimately, Peony helps set Sharena's mind at ease, explaining that neither of them can clearly remember which of them is the real princess, but that their memories are so entwined that Sharena shouldn't worry if she's the real princess or not. Before Sharena and the others awaken, bringing an end to the dream, Peony gives her a floral crown as a gift, which carries over into the real world. When Sharena recognizes it, she is about to become overcome with grief at the loss of her friend, when Peony reappears, having made it back to the real world.

Personality[]

Bright, upbeat, and friendly to a fault, Sharena carries a spirit of positivity and cheer that brings a lighthearted spirit to the Order of Heroes. Unlike her brother, she is eager to make friends with the Heroes in the Order of Heroes as shown with immediately warming up to Kiran upon their introduction. Starting in Book V, Sharena develops a friendship with Veronica due to their similar age. This budding friendship develops into a deep bond that serves as a bridge towards peace between both nations. Due to her vast network of friendships, she is profoundly knowledgeable about most quirks of the Heroes and usually sets up meetings for Heroes during the Forging Bonds events.

During all of the various festivals in Askr, Sharena loves to participate, especially when she is front and center in it. She maintains a child-like innocence as she still believes in many childhood fairy tales, a trait that Peony states is often gone from people her age.

She also adores her family and is constantly out in the field with her older brother Alfonse. While she occasionally teases him, she supports him with everything she has and has faith that he will become a great king like their father. On the battlefield, she is a capable warrior and has an enduring spirit. Even when a situation seems dire, she can find the resolve to face all enemies.

Overall[]

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.

Base Set[]

Sharena is one of the Askran Trio that players of Heroes receives at the very beginning of the game. Of the three, she is the Lance wielder and has rounded, average stats besides her low Res. Overall, this makes Sharena a flexible unit, but one that cannot outmatch other more focused units. Her legendary weapon is Fensalir, which inflicts Threaten Atk 2 on enemies, letting her be a Threaten debuffer with skills that she can inherit and use through seals. Refining Fensalir in the Weapon Refinery removes the Threaten effect and lets it instead neutralize stat bonuses on the enemies Sharena engages, while also boosting her own Spd and Def when next to an ally.
She is the only Askran who comes with a support skill, Rally Attack, to boost her allies in battle, but lacks a Special like the others have. Speed +3 is a decent starting Skill A but is best replaced with skills that offer higher buffs and better synergy. Fortify Def 3 grants 4 defense to adjacent allies; combined with Rally Attack, she can decently support a front-line unit with her base kit.
Overall, Sharena is serviceable and not particularly weak anywhere, but does not shine anywhere as well. As an Askran Trio unit, she has no access to unit merges or banes and boons for stat maximization. Despite this, when built well she can become a perfectly capable unit for high-level play, and because she is frequently a bonus unit for Arena and Aether Raids, investing in Sharena is never a bad idea.

Counters[]

Sharena is fairly easy to counter as she is threatened by any Green since her lack of specialization hurts her against her color disadvantage. Bulky Blues can shrug off her attacks. Even some strong Reds can run through her averaged stats including Zelgius, Ayra, and Mia.

Skill Inheritance Options[]

Sharena has the most flexible options of the Askr Trio since her average stats can be manipulated to suit a specific role. She will not be the best as many other units can do the roles better. She is best as a niche filler than anything. If looking to maximize her base weapon's effect, Sharena seeks skills that benefit from allies being adjacent to her.

With the Refined effect of Fensalir, Sharena solidifies her identity as a "buddy" unit who shines when adjacent to an ally. She does very well by stacking Bond skills to pad her average stats, and can equip a Bond skill in her A slot as well as her Sacred Seal to complement the inherent Spd/Def Bond on her weapon. With this in mind, her best Assist skills involve keeping an ally next to her. If kept as a Rally unit because of her base Rally Attack, a Ruse B skill can add additional utility to her Rallies. To maximize Sharena's combat ability, she can use Swap or Reposition to keep her target next to her, and a Link B skill to grant herself and her target a stat bonus. Moonbow is a good, low-cooldown and widely-available Special that helps Sharena punch through tanky enemies, but other options like Luna or Ignis could work better depending on her other skills.

As an infantry unit, Sharena can use the powerful Wrath skill and infantry-specific team support C skills like Infantry Pulse or Infantry Flash, though these require heavy investment.

Meet Some of the Heroes[]

Princess of Askr Sharena
	Surprise! It's me, Sharena—princess of Askr, host of Meet Some of the Heroes, and star of Learn with Sharena!
	But my foes know me as War-Princess Sharena, the battlefield blossom who leaves her foes quaking in their boots! Or, um, whatever footwear they have! And if they're barefoot, um...I'm workshopping it, OK?
	All right, so maybe I have a bit of catching up to do if I want to be like Commander Anna and Alfonse. But trust me, I've been out there every day training with my trusty lance, Fensalir!
	Anyway, I'm also doing my best to keep you, our very own summoner, up to date on everything you need to know to protect the peace in Askr! So, keep an eye out for more from me!
