Fire Emblem Fates is finally available for purchase (have you read our review?), but what is the best way to create Corrin, the hero of the game, to harness its power in the way we prefer during our adventures? We are ready to help you with a detailed guide on creating the main character.
- We customize Corrin's appearance
First of all we will have the opportunity to choose how to make the main character appear aesthetically. We will be able to choose the gender (which will have a minor influence on the names, skills, and weapons of a couple of classes), the build, the hairstyle, the hair color, the type of face, any details (such as moles or tattoos), and the voice.
- We set the value and the defect
We can set a character strength and defect, which will take effect (for the two related stats) at initial stat value, maximum modifier value, and growth value. These are the strengths and weaknesses, including the stat to which they refer:
- HP: Vitality (value), Infirmity (defect)
- Strength: Strength (merit), Weakness (fault)
- Magic: Ingenuity (merit), Dullness (flaw)
- Skills: Dexterity (value), Clumsiness (defect)
- Speed: Quickness (value), Slowness (defect)
- Luck: Luck (merit), Misfortune (fault)
- Defense: Vigor (value), Gracility (defect)
- Resistance: Calm (value), Emotional (defect)
- Initial statistics
This is a table of the initial statistics that we will have depending on the value and the defect chosen:
Stat HP FORZ MAG ABI VEL FORT DIF RES ------ - --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Normal 19 7 4 7 6 5 6 2 Value 22 9 7 10 8 8 7 3 Defect 17 6 2 5 5 3 5 1
- Growth value
This is a table with the maximum modifiers (MAX) and growth values (CRE) of the stats based on the strength and weakness chosen:

- List of talents and related classes
We will be able to choose a talent for Corrin that will determine his second class and the alternate class (also called hidden class). The alternate class will not appear in the class list and we will not be able to transform into it, however this class can be given to another character via friendship, seals, or inheritance.
