How Good Are Captures in Rev?

  / danidoyle  

Orochi is... well she's One of the Units of All Time.

But she can become a one woman army...In more than one way: either by using a bunch of investment to become a super unit or by capturing generics to add to your forces. Is that worth putting up with her though?

Rev is my favorite Fire Emblem game, but because of its (IMO Undeserved) reputation, I don't see much Fire Emblem Content surrounding it. Well, as someone who has played Rev more than most people, I intend to change that. So I'm going to do a deep dive into the entire cast (both gen 1 and gen 2) and talk about them for way too long as units. This series is heavily inspired (read: straight up stolen) from @badatlife who does a similar thing for Birthright (another often hated game in the fates trilogy). If he's the "Birthright Guy" my hope is to be the "Rev Girl" although I'll let y'all be the judge of that. By the end of this series, my goals are to 1) give an in depth guide to multiple builds each unit can accomplish and 2) rank the units in a Tier List.

To start the series, I want to take a look at Corrin, the Main character of Fates, and IMO the strongest unit in Rev (if not all 3 routes). Given just how customizable Corrin is, they can take a variety of roles, and will always be somewhat strong no matter how you use them. However, as early as character creation there are some choices you make that can help squeeze every but of potential from the future king/queen of Valla. Here's how to get the most out of your Corrin.

Also, Thanks @blueluna1029 , my go to Fates Autism Expert.
