Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave tier list
Before we get into our tier list, note that we haven't included Eshmel or the four Flame Lords, Cai, Dietrich, Leda, and Theodora, since they're main characters and, unsurprisingly, pretty overpowered. Instead, we've ranked all the playable units.

How we chose the best Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave characters
We put together our Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave characters tier list based on our experience of over 150 hours of playing the game. As for our top five picks, they all hold their own in battle, with the slight exception of Sofia, but she makes up for it by offering elite healing support. You'll also notice that our tier list doesn't have a D-rank, and that's because there aren't any straight-up stinkers in this game, and even the B- and C-tier characters can carry you if you train them well, upgrade their classes, and equip them with the right weapons.
