If you have been playing Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave this past week, then I'm sure you have already started stewing a favourites list for the four main heroes.
Be it their dazzling combat abilities or dashing good looks, these Flame Lords each cut a rather different figure, with enough gameplay variety that each of them is bound to be someone's favourite. Given that you can flip between the storylines at almost any time, I quickly started to form a ranking of my own.
So, I thought I'd leap in early and start to gauge who everyone's fave is so far. I'm only sticking to the four main Flame Lords and Eshmel here — I'd be scrolling through a poll for days if I included all those recruitable heroes — but I've added a snap and a brief summary of each hero (plus some of my personal likes/dislikes) below, followed by a poll where you can place your own vote.
Let's meet the team, in descending order according to my personal ranking...
Sorry Eshmel, you fall at the bottom of the pile. It's not to diss Eshmel's skills on the battlefield — this is an immensely strong fighter with some kick-ass Blaze Arts for close combat — but there's only so much character development that a mostly-silent player stand-in can have.
Part of me thinks that the whole story would hold together better if Eshmel was cut and we focused solely on the Flame Lords instead. But hey, perhaps that's a hot take.
Leda's storyline is one of revenge. Her father was murdered when she was little, and she's on a quest to find the man who did it.
Despite featuring some of the more interesting conversations about magical powers and when to use them, the whole storyline felt a little one-note to me. And yet, Leda ended up being one of my most-used characters thanks to her wonderful support abilities.
