Hi everyone! Today’s guide is on the youngest Nohrian royal siblings: Elise and Leo.

Elise is probably the best representation of a cleric in FE Warriors. Her Magic, Luck, Speed, and especially Resistance are all outstanding. However, her HP, Defense, Skill, and especially Strength are rather poor. Despite her relative frailty (except against magic wielders), her offensive capabilities are incredibly high.

Compared to his sister, Leo has a bit less raw offense, significantly less Luck, and a much higher HP pool. He is overall the bulkiest tome user (61 defense is still kinda bad though), but outside of Magic and Resistance his stat spread is overall a bit mediocre. He doesn’t manage to stand out in any significant way when compared to Elise or Robin aside from being the “safest” pick in terms of overall damage taken.

Note that C1 charges by damaging enemies with basic and strong combos.
Y1 (Dash): The unit jumps forward, spinning a ball of energy around themselves. This is a nice gapcloser that can also be used to clear a small area while going from place to place.
C1 (0-49% charged): Standard: The unit conjures a small energy ball in front of them that does damage to nearby enemies in front. Dashing: The energy ball lasts a longer time. It’s certainly not as bad as Robin’s uncharged C1, but still by far the worst skill in their kit.
C1 (50-99% charged): Standard: The unit conjures a large energy ball that draws in foes before exploding, revealing a white stun gauge on all enemies hit. Dashing: The unit dives forward before doing the same attack. Like with Robin, this skill can be useful when there’s just no trash around to charge on, but generally you want to fully charges.
C1: (100% charged): Standard: The unit conjures a large energy ball that draws in foes before exploding into a flurry of tiny energy balls. All enemies hit have a yellow stun gauge revealed. Dashing: The unit dives forward before doing the same attack. Now, while this isn’t quite as good as Robin’s 100% C1, it’s still absolutely fantastic. The ability to expose a yellow stun gauge pretty much whenever you want is superb, and they charge it just as fast as Robin, if not faster.
C2: The unit conjures a tornado that launches enemies in front. This is actually pretty essential to breaking white gauges as their C5 is inconsistent when it comes to juggling.
C3: The unit conjures a field of spikes beneath them, which then spins, dealing damage to nearby enemies. This is a pretty mediocre crowd clearer, if I’m being blunt. Their regular string, C4, and C6 are much better at that.
C4: The unit conjures a huge fireball and shoots it at the ground a short distance away from them, which deals damage over a large area. This combo is wonderful at clearing crowds so long as they are in front of the unit.
C5: The unit conjures a ring of horizontal lasers in front of them that slowly shrinks towards the center. When the lasers converge, they explode, dealing damage in a small area around them. The unit can rotate while the lasers are firing to aim them. I have some mixed feelings about this combo. It does a high amount of damage to the units it hits, but when it comes to juggling officers, it too often drops the juggle before breaking the gauge. C5s typically do that very well, so it’s a bit disappointing in that regard.
C6: The unit conjures a large dome of lightning that damages all enemies inside. After a few seconds, it explodes, damaging enemies in a large area (including a moderate distance outside the dome). This is a fantastic damage dealer and crowd clearer- just what you’d expect from a C6. It’s basically a C3 that is much larger and is usable against officers.
Six weapon slot syndrome strikes again. Choose your favorite between Strong I and V. I considered listing IV as well, but ultimately that move is for clearing trash, so a damage boost isn’t strictly necessary. C6 is her highest damage and most versatile combo. Her basic attack string is pretty great, so Rainstorm is a must. For the slayers, choose whichever two please you. Wingslayer is the best choice, and the other two are roughly equal. I excluded Plateslayer this time since mages are naturally Strong vs Armors. For your 5k slot, it’s your choice between Pair Up+ and Crit+. Despite Elise’s low skill, her C6 means she will be critting a lot, so the boost will be nice to have. I think Pair Up+ is the better option though.
Literally the exact same thing as Elise, for the exact same reasons. His Skill is higher, so he makes better use of Crit+ than her. Also, since their choices for slayer skills are generally limited by their class, it’s ok to overlap a bit for these two.

Elise and Leo are amazing characters. They combine the amazing mage moveset with the utility of having a mount. In my opinion, if you only want to invest in one, invest in Elise. Her offensive capabilities are just way higher than his. Even with Luck +20 and a +Luck A support, his Luna (and by proxy, his non-crit damage) does not match Elise’s, even if she doesn’t have Luck boosts. The roughly 20 points of Skill he has over her mean a lot less than the almost 40 Luck she has over him. His only true benefit is his bulk, but with 50 Defense he’s still going to get clapped by physical attackers. However, although I just bagged on Leo a bit, he is still a great character that is more than viable if you like him more than Elise (like I do).
