Basically an FE4 Falcon Knight who gets rid of lances altogether and starts off with a low sword rank, coupled with crappy bases for the low amount of time she has. She's admittedly better in FE10, and that's saying plenty. At least she's not hyped up to high heaven by people like GameFAQs and YouTube members. Well, last I checked, anyways.

2/10

I've never seen Elincia even remotely hyped before. Where do you go?

She.is really a great healer but her combat is forgettable. As in, forget it. Really wish Ike had let her join in those early chapters but noooo. If you have some bexp laying around you can get her mag up and she'll be a fine replacement for Rhys if you are using him. Her availability is really bad so it is a shame she has no time to grow her weapon ranks outside her great staff rank. Even with training she can only take out mages as it stands.

3.5/10

I was just referencing the fact that some people may see her as an Est due to her low availability, decent growths at the least, and the fact she's underleveled. (Even though she's promoted, she's still underleveled.) But that doesn't change the fact that she's not hyped up. Not even by the people who hypes up Ests, which is why I said what I said.

Elincia. Princess of Crimea.

Pros:
Flying.
Amiti.
Decent staff rank.
Ok base speed.

Cons:
Availability.
Bad base strength.
Low level.

Elincia is kinda cool because flying healer. For those of us who didnt really play FE4, she seems quite unique. Shes basically Mist with wings and Mist promoted is useful. If you didnt manage to get Mist to promote somehow, Elincia could really be an ok addition to the team. Its also not a bad idea to have someone dedicated to using staves with really high move in Endgame. While the rest of your guys are murdering, having a backup healer is kinda nice. Her sword is kinda awesome too since its Brave and has unlimited uses. Of course, due to her stats, shes probably not gonna be seeing combat that much. If at all. She can become a competent fighter if one is willing to dump a bunch of BEXP in her. But unless yer on easy mode, whos doing that? Shes quick enough to not get doubled but Ashera help you if she sees an archer. Her base staff rank means she can rock some Physic action (and you can steal a pantload of those) and maybe some other assist staff stuff like Ward or Rescue or whatever. Her high move and canto means she can run up and heal and run away again. If Elincia was around for more of the game, she'd be pretty damn awesome.

4/10. 5/10 bias because i have a soft spot for anyone who rides a pegasus.

People use rescue in this game? What's the point of that? Ike+boots doesn't need it and neither does any of your paladins.

You don't give boots to Ike

also, she can rescue another utility unit and have them do something cool too, especially if they're lagging behind due to movement constraints or something to that extent. Being able to bypass terrain helps.

PROS:
-9 move, flight
-A staff rank
-Amiti rocks

CONS:
-low STR growth
-low availability
-needs some Bexp


Elincia is awesome, albeit for a short time. She starts with 90 STR points on fixed mode so just 3 Bexp LV ups with a steel sword and a STR band equipped will increase her STR by 2 points. Thats a pretty cheap investment considering her AS with the Amiti will go up by 3 for only 500 Bexp. So she can get decent combat for a fairly cheap price. She also has flying staff-bot utility going for her.


3.75/10 - Elincia has amazing potential. Its a shame she isnt around long enough to reach it...
