Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Isadora is a level 1 Paladin who joins in Chapter 21 (Eliwood Mode) or Chapter 22 (Hector Mode). As expected from a unit who joins promoted, her bases are solid, but outside of her Speed and Luck, her growths range from average to mediocre. Isadora's main advantage is her Paladin class, which is among the best promoted classes in the game thanks to its perfect weapon triangle control and high movement of 8. It also has access to 1–2-range weaponry and Canto. With an A-rank in swords, a B-rank in lances and a D-rank in axes, Isadora can use a huge arsenal of weapons at base, which allows her to adapt to enemies she fights and use the right weapon for every situation. She also requires no investment from the player, while the three Cavaliers (Kent, Sain and Lowen) will need a Knight Crest to promote, the second of which can only be obtained at the end of her join chapter.

Isadora's main disadvantage is her low constitution of 6, which is especially low for a promoted unit; this leaves her incapable of wielding anything heavier than an Iron Sword, a Slim Sword or a Slim Lance without being weighed down. Fortunately, with her high Speed, she can still double most enemies even if weighed down. Still, it leaves her worse at using 1-2-range weapons than a trained Kent or Sain, as even the basic Javelin weighs her down by 5, and the Short Spear she starts with reduces her Attack Speed by 6. She also needs to use the right weapon for every situation or risk failing to one-round enemies, typically because she cannot double due to weapon weight or deal enough damage when capable of doubling. Additionally, while her 13 base Strength is solid, it may fall short when wielding low-might weapons. These flaws leave Isadora more limited as a combat unit than it seems, as she needs specific weapons to fight certain enemies more optimally. Because of this, despite having access to lances, swords and axes at all times, it's surprisingly hard for her to control the weapon triangle due to her poor constitution, which makes her offensive options limited and hampers her combat in enemy phase.

Isadora suffers from mediocre durability as well, being a Paladin with only 28 HP, 8 Defense and 6 Resistance. By comparison, Marcus, who is available from the start of the game, starts out with 31 HP, 10 Defense and 8 Resistance. Isadora joins with an Angelic Robe that she can use herself to increase her HP by 7, but faces competition from other units that may want it for themselves. She is not too frail that she cannot take a hit or two, but compares poorly to units such as Raven, who also have solid offenses. As a consequence of her mediocre bulk when uninvested, combined with her lackluster constitution, Isadora is less suited to enemy-phase combat.

Fortunately, there are ways to improve Isadora's combat at a low cost. If she receives the Body Ring, she can more easily leverage her naturally high Speed; few other units want it as much as her, to boot. She can also use the Angelic Robe she comes with, as stated in the previous paragraph. As a frontline fighter, she is likewise a good recipient of the Dracoshield and the Talisman. While her growths are mediocre, these investments can still increase Isadora's long-term potential, despite the competition she faces for some of these stat boosters. Lastly, Isadora enjoys fast support growth with her beloved Harken; his Fire affinity further bolsters Isadora's power, although his lower movement might risk tethering Isadora down unless his movement is boosted.

Fire Emblem Character File 093: Isadora
Image Gender: Female Estimated Age: 20s Title: Escort of Pherae Origin: Lycia
Status: Royal Guard of House Pherae Weapon: Sword, Lance, Axe

A devoted knight who serves the royal family at the royal palace.

A female knight of House Pherae's royal guard. When Elbert decided to embark on a trip, it was decided she would stay behind for the sake of guarding Eleanora. When the news of Elbert's death reached Eleanora, she ordered Isadora to Eliwood's side, and she joined his forces. She is a reliable paladin who pledges allegiance to House Pherae.

She is both a believer in Saint Elimine's teachings and a paladin. For that reason, she is hesitant to attack the enemy, despite having great skill and power as a knight. There is never a tme where she has been behind her male counterparts. After reuniting with her fiancé Harken who went missing along with Elbert, she shows nothing but her lady-like deep affection toward him in her support conversations. Also, in a support conversation with the priest Renault, she displays her doubts and conflict of being both a believer and a soldier.
