“I'm no good at getting help when I need it. That's the problem with seeking perfection. You always feel like you have to do everything alone.”
—Subaki in a support conversation with Corrin

Subaki is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates in Birthright and Revelation. One of Sakura's personal retainers, he seeks perfection in all that he does in order to uphold the legacy of his family. If he achieves an S support, he will bear a daughter named Caeldori with his wife. If he marries Female Corrin or Azura, he will be the father of Kana and Shigure.

Profile[]

Subaki was born into a family belonging to the upper echelons of Hoshido, one that is renowned for having served the royal family for generations. His parents raised him to be a paragon of strength and skill. Following the footsteps of his ancestors, Subaki is thus instated as one of Princess Sakura's personal retainers.

Birthright[]

Subaki makes his first appearance in Fort Jinya in Chapter 7, where he, alongside his fellow retainer Hana, aids Sakura in tending to the wounded soldiers and citizens. After receiving news of a Nohrian invasion that has broken out near Fort Jinya, the two retainers argue over the superiority of their usefulness on the battlefield. Shortly after their quarrel is broken up by Sakura, Subaki accompanies his liege, Hana and Corrin out of the fort to stage a defense.

Subaki subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr. He is appointed chief of the Pegasus Knight's thereafter.

Conquest[]

Subaki only appears in Chapter 22, where he, alongside Sakura, Hana and Yukimura, stages a defense at Fort Jinya in a bid to halt the Nohrian invasion. When engaged in battle by Corrin, Subaki reveals that in spite of their betrayal, Sakura has continued to hold nothing but the highest opinion of them. He then quietly vows to personally defeat them in order to end his liege's sorrow. Despite the best efforts of both Subaki and the rest of the Hoshidan army, they are eventually defeated and taken prisoner.

When Hans starts executing prisoners, it is mentioned that Yukimura, Sakura, Subaki and Hana were spared from his wrath. It is unknown what happens to him afterwards.

Revelation[]

Subaki first appears at the end of Chapter 8, where he and Hana pursue Sakura after the latter wordlessly departs from Fort Jinya to ally herself with Corrin's cause. Upon catching up with her, he immediately expresses relief before proclaiming that he and Hana will always support her in all the decisions that she makes.

Subaki subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to Anankos' machinations. If he marries Female Corrin, he will become the king of Valla

Paralogue[]

In Paralogue 13, Subaki reunites with his daughter Caeldori after not having seen her for ages. While in the midst of catching up with her, he is summoned by a Hoshidan soldier to the Riverside to aid in quelling an enemy attack. Caeldori attempts to follow her father, only to be stopped as he urges her to remain behind for the sake of her safety. She later defies Subaki's orders, entering the battlefield and leaping into the fray to aid him. Following the conclusion of the battle, Subaki fawns over his daughter's achievements, expressing praise and admiration. Upon hearing her narrate details on the post-battle activities that she has engaged in, Subaki begins to feel inferior to her, mentally resolving to push himself in order to prevent her from surpassing him.

Personality[]

Subaki is a self-professed perfectionist, a fact that primarily stems from the legacy of his family's traditions, ones that have conditioned him to strive towards achieving perfection in all that he does. As a result of this, he is known to be very demanding and even unforgiving towards himself as he works tirelessly to meet the harsh expectations that he sets for himself. This has in turn caused him to have the tendency to engage in self-reproach whenever he commits "offenses" that he feels make him appear weak and imperfect in the eyes of others. During such occurrences, Subaki is known to lapse into a state of flustered distress as he attempts to rectify his shortcomings.

In spite of the excessive nature of his hardworking spirit, Subaki never draws attention to himself, choosing instead to hide his efforts from the notice of others. As a result of the attitude and behavior that he adopts towards others, Subaki can come across as being more obnoxious and arrogant than he actually is.

He has the cleanest hands in the entire army.

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 Class[]

Subaki boasts decent growths in Skill and HP and has middling Strength and Defense. Unfortunately, he suffers from low Resistance and oddly, a poor Speed growth, unusual for a Sky Knight. His Personal Skill, Perfectionist, increases his hit and avoid rates by 15 points whenever he is at full health. Unlike Hinoka, whose growths resemble those of classic Pegasus Knights and has stronger growths across the board, Subaki can occupy a defensive niche that is unusual for his base class. In tandem with Perfectionist's avoid bonus, Subaki's middling growths in HP and Defense can mold him into a passable dodge wall, granting him the ability to absorb physical hits more reliably than most of his allies in Birthright. However, he still is vulnerable to Bow/Yumi wielding units so mindful awareness of those units will minimize the risk of his death. His ability to wield Naginatas provides him some additional Defense from the weapon's innate stat bonus. Subaki's base class offers two skills: Darting Blow and Camaraderie. He can utilize Darting Blow defensively by preventing his enemies from doubling on him whenever he needs to initiate combat. Although the healing bonus from Camaraderie is only slight, it can help prolong his defensive presence in the front lines.

One of Subaki's promotions is Falcon Knight. He gains a slight increase to Skill growth as well as weapon access to Staves and Rods. Combined with his decent Skill growth and Perfectionist's hit bonus, Subaki's newfound Rod access allows him to accurately provide offensive support through status ailment Rods, such as Silence or Hexing Rod. Falcon Knight offers two skills: Rally Speed and Warding Blow. Rally Speed allows Subaki to switch to a defensive support role whenever necessary. Warding Blow somewhat patches his poor Resistance and encourages him to attack magic-users at a greater frequency. Overall, Falcon Knight extends Subaki's versatility, but it does not necessarily highlight his strengths.

Subaki's second promotion option is Kinshi Knight. He gains a moderate increase in his Skill growth at the cost of reduced growths in his weaker stats. He also gains weapon access to Bows and Yumis. The class offers two skills: Air Superiority and Amaterasu. Air Superiority syncs well with Perfectionist and considerably increases Subaki's combative capabilities against flying enemies, enabling him to reliably wall, bait, or even attack physical flying units (bar other Kinshi Knights). Amaterasu nicely complements Camaraderie and encourages him to play defensive roles in close proximity to his allies. Overall, Kinshi Knight plays up Subaki's strengths and expands on his defensive capabilities, especially against flying units.

Secondary Class[]

Subaki's growths may be better suited in his alternate class: Samurai. Compared to his growths as a Sky Knight, Subaki gains increased HP and skill growths. He gains weapon access to Swords and Katanas while losing access to Lances and Naginatas. Switching into Samurai also notably removes various weaknesses associated with the flying and beast attributes. Samurai offers two skills: Duelist's Blow and Vantage. Duelist's Blow syncs very well with Perfectionist and Darting Blow, and it encourages Subaki to take on an offensive role in addition to his role as a dodge wall. Vantage may help him in a pinch, especially when he has lost access to Perfectionist bonuses.

One of Samurai's promotion options is Swordmaster. Subaki notably gains 10-point increases to Critical Hit rate and Avoid rate. The Critical Hit rate bonus syncs well with his decent Skill growth, allowing him to activate critical hits at a satisfying frequency. Swordmaster offers Astra and Swordfaire. Thanks to his aforementioned Skill growth, Subaki may see Astra activation at a greater frequency than others, and it further augments his offense. Should his career class carry a sword, Swordfaire will add a sizable bonus to his damage output. Swordmaster effectively utilizes Subaki's Skill growth and provides various offensive assets that play up his strengths.

Samurai's second promotion option is Master of Arms. Subaki gains increased growths in HP, Skill, and Defense. Additionally, he gains access to Lances, Naginatas, Axes, and Clubs; granting him effective control over the weapon triangle—which entails opportunities to exploit weapon advantage for additional hit and avoid bonuses. Master of Arms provides Seal Strength and Life and Death. Seal Strength greatly complements Subaki's physical and augments his ability to serve as an effective physical wall or physical attack bait. Because Life and Death compromises his defenses for increased damage output, it does not fit well with his defensive playstyles. Overall, Master of Arms greatly highlights Subaki's stronger stat growths and helps solidify his defensive capabilities.

Friendship Classes[]
  • Saizo - Saizo provides him with Ninja and its promotions, Master Ninja and Mechanist. Compared to Saizo, Subaki has a higher HP growth, but is either lacking or matching Saizo's growths in the other stats. From Ninja, Subaki gets access to Locktouch and Poison Strike; while Locktouch is very situational due to the decline of locked chests and doors later in the game, meaning that it can be switched out for better skills, Poison Strike is a consistent and deadly skill that Subaki can bring back to other classes to equip in his arsenal. In Ninja itself, this skill helps boost his lacking Strength growth by doing damage even if his attack does none. For promotions, Master Ninja offers a small boost to Resistance, while Mechanist provides a boost to Health, Strength and Luck growths, while sacrificing some Skill and Speed. For skills, Subaki stands to learn Lethality and Shurikenfaire in Master Ninja; while Shurikenfaire is only useful if the player intends to keep Subaki in a Shuriken/Dagger focused class, Lethality is a useful skill due to his Skill growth being quite high. From Mechanist, he can also learn Golembane, which mostly helps in PVP and castle battles due to the decline of Mechanists and Puppets/Stoneborns, and also Replicate, which is a risky skill due to the fate of both Subaki and his replica being tied together, meaning that extreme care will need to be taken to ensure that he doesn't die (or get knocked out, in Casual).
  • Azama - Azama provides him with Monk and its promotions, Great Master and Onmyoji. Compared to Azama, Subaki has a higher Skill and marginally higher Defense growth, but lacks or matches Azama in his other growths. From Monk, Subaki stands to learn Miracle and Rally Luck; Miracle isn't too useful due to his below average Luck growth, but can help in a pinch if the player uses Luck Tonics or Goddess Icons on him, and Rally Luck can help Subaki if the player intends to put him in a supporting role rather than attacking, which is ideal due to Azama filling the attacking role well due to his high Strength growth. For the two promotions, Great Master provides a boost to HP, Strength and Defense growths, while sacrificing some Magic, Skill and Resistance, while Onmyoji trades some Strength, Luck and Resistance for a boost to Magic. For skills, Subaki can learn Renewal to replace Camaraderie from his base class due to its more reliable and potent healing effect, and he can also learn Countermagic to make up for his abysmal Resistance growth. Onmyoji provides no useful skills to Subaki; Rally Magic can work if the player wants him as a supporting role, but Tomefaire is of no use unless the player intends to keep him in a Tome/Scroll-oriented class.
  • Niles - Niles provides him with Outlaw and its promotions, Adventurer and Bow Knight. Compared to Niles, Subaki has higher Health, Skill and Defense growths, but lacks or meets Niles in the other stats, especially his abysmal Resistance growth. For skills, Subaki first learns Locktouch, which is useful only for chapters where there are locked chests and doors; it can be abandoned later for better skills due to the decline of locked chests and doors. However, he also learns Movement +1, which he can bring back to any class due to its versatility. For promotions, Adventurer trades some Strength and Skill for a boost to Magic, while Bow Knight gives a boost to Health, Skill and Luck growths, while sacrificing some Magic, Speed and Resistance. From Adventurer, Subaki can learn Lucky Seven and Pass; Lucky Seven helps on the first seven turns by making it easier for him to dodge and hit, but is primarily useful in PVP and Castle Battles due to most chapters later on getting shorter and shorter; also, Pass can be useful for getting behind enemy lines, and when stacked with Movement +1, can make Subaki very slippery and hard for the enemy to surround. From Bow Knight, Subaki learns Rally Skill, a supporting skill that can be abandoned if the player doesn't intend to keep him as a support role, and Shurikenbreaker to help deal with Master Ninjas, who are known for their high Hit Rate and Dodge Rate.
Marriage Classes[]
  • Female Corrin - Corrin provides him with whatever class she gets from a Heart Seal or the player selects for her secondary. It's recommended to give her a Nohrian class set that Subaki wouldn't be able to access otherwise, like Wyvern Rider, Knight or Cavalier.
  • Azura/Felicia - Both Azura and Felicia provide him with Troubadour and its promotions, Strategist and Butler. Troubadour gives Subaki Resistance +2 and Gentilhomme. Resistance +2's function is its namesake. Gentilhomme helps female units with taking damage and dealing it. Strategist gives Subaki Rally Resistance and Inspiration. Rally skills aren't good on Subaki as he fares better as an offensive unit, but Inspiration is a buffed Gentilhomme which helps for male allies. Butler gives Live to Serve and Tomebreaker. Live to Serve isn't useful on Subaki since he doesn't do too well in healing classes, but Tomebreaker will be really good as it'll help him dodge magic users that, due to his poor Resistance, could easily take him out.
  • Mozu/Setsuna - Both Mozu and Setsuna provide him with Archer and its promotion, Sniper. Archer gives Skill +2 and Quick Draw. Skill +2 is a good pick up if Subaki is struggling slightly with hitting opponents and Quick Draw adds 4 damage when initiating combat. Sniper gives Certain Blow and Bowfaire. Certain Blow grants hit rate +40 upon initiating an attack. Pair this with quick draw to make Subaki's clubs devastating. Bowfaire is only useful when he is in a bow wielding class, which he probably won't be.
  • Hinoka/Oboro - Both Hinoka and Oboro provide him with Spear Fighter and its promotions, Basara and Spear Master. Spear Fighter has Seal Defense and Swap. Seal Defense lowers the enemy's Defense by 6, recovering 1 per turn. Swap lets Subaki switch placement with an ally. Basara offers Rend Heaven and Quixotic. Rend Heaven is a great skill that works best against hard hitters. Quixotic is a risk vs reward skill which will drive away the cautious players but bring in risk loving players. Spear Master offers Seal Speed and Lancefaire. Seal Speed lowers the Speed of an Enemy by 6, recovering 1 per turn, which helps if a unit has trouble doubling. Lancefaire gives +5 when attacking with a Lance/Naginata. This works when Subaki is in a class that can use lances, which he probably will be.
  • Orochi - Orochi provides Diviner and its promotions, Basara and Onmyoji. Diviner, however, hurts Subaki's growths. It provides Magic +2 and Future Sight: Magic +2 will hardly see use, but Future Sight is an option if the player wants to level him up faster. For the promotions of this class, see Azama and Hinoka/Oboro's sections above.
  • Rinkah - Rinkah provides him with Oni Savage and its promotions, Oni Chieftain and Blacksmith. Oni Savage provides Seal Resistance and Shove. Seal Resistance isn't particularly useful for Subaki since he fares better in physical classes, but Shove can save a ally from being killed from a mistake. Oni Chieftain gives Death Blow and Counter. Death Blow grants crit +20 upon initiating combat, and pairing that skill with high crit weapons can result in incredible kills. Counter works off of physical damage, but considering Subaki is more of an offensive unit, it isn't so optimal. Blacksmith, outside of possibly picking up random weapons, gives Lancebreaker: Mono Lance users may find it impossible to hit him if he has it equipped.
  • Nyx - Nyx is exclusive to Revelation and provides him with Dark Mage and its promotions, Sorcerer and Dark Knight. From Dark Mage, Subaki can grab Heartseeker and Malefic Aura; Heartseeker can make it easier to hit enemies with high Avoid by reducing it, but only if they are adjacent to Subaki, and Malefic Aura increases the amount of magical damage enemies within two spaces take, which can be useful if the player intends to keep him in a magic based class; otherwise, it can be useful if a magic user is near him. From Sorcerer, Vengeance can be useful if he has taken high amounts of damage, and is up against a high HP enemy; Bowbreaker can also be acquired, and is extremely useful if intending to keep Subaki as a Sky Knight, as they take bonus damage from bows. From Dark Knight, Lifetaker and Seal Magic can be learned; Seal Magic can help if Subaki suffers from low Resistance, as it reduces the amount of magic damage dealt by an enemy; Lifetaker is a useful health recovery skill, like Sol, and if Subaki can reliably deal enough damage, Lifetaker will likely keep his health full.
  • Sakura - Sakura provides him with Monk and it promotions, Grand Master and Onmyoji, which are described under Azama's section above.
  • Selena - Selena is exclusive to Revelation and provides him with Mercenary and its promotions, Hero and Bow Knight. Mercenary helps patch up most of Subaki's growths, with Luck and Resistance taking a hit to boost everything else. It also provides Good Fortune and Strong Riposte. Good Fortune will see little use due to Subaki's low LKuck. Strong Riposte is useful for Subaki, as it increases damage when the enemy strikes first. Hero gives him Sol and Axebreaker. Sol will heal half the damage Subaki inflicts. Axebreaker increases his Hit Rate/Evasion when the enemy wields an axe. Axebreaker could be useful when paired with his personal skill. For Bow Knight, see Niles' section above.

Etymology[]

Tsubaki is the Japanese word for Camellia. Depending on the language, this can have different meanings:

  • In the Victorian Language of Flowers, White Camellia carry the meaning of 'Perfection' and 'Loveliness', which Subaki's personality and good looks could be based on.
  • In the Japanese Language of Flowers, known as Hanakotoba, Red Camellias mean "in love" and "perishing with grace", probable allusions to his kind yet proud personality. In contrast, Yellow Camellia mean "longing", a possible nod to Subaki's desire for perfection.
  • In the Edo Period, samurai would disallow Camellia from being planted in their homes due to the Ochitsubaki, or "fallen Camellia." The fallen Camellia flower represented the samurai's duty of beheading outlaws; this may be represented through Subaki's secondary class tree being Samurai.

Trivia[]

  • Subaki shares his English voice actor, John Rubinstein, with other characters in Fates such as: Nichol, Haitaka, Iago and Kotaro.
  • He is the first playable male Pegasus Knight in the Fire Emblem series.
  • Subaki was voted the 16th most popular male in Nintendo's official Fates character poll.
  • Subaki is one of only two playable characters in Fates whose English voice actor remained unconfirmed until the release of Heroes. The other is Siegbert.
  • Subaki and Hana are the only Hoshido retainers to be fought only once in Conquest.
