“Worry not, young prince/ss. Your power is beyond question, and your aim is true. No matter what path you walk or which kingdom you fight for... I am certain you will always make the right choice and use that blade for good.”
—Fuga, Conquest Chapter 20: Winds of Change

Fuga is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates. He is only recruitable in the Revelation route.

Profile

The chieftain of Hoshido's Wind Tribe and best friend of the late King Sumeragi. He possesses a majesty unique to a veteran hero and his entire body exudes the presence of a stalwart warrior. He uses his opponent’s strength to determine their character and ability. In addition, he is Hayato's adoptive father: he was a close friend of Hayato's mother (whom he had feelings for, but never confessed them to her), and when she and her husband were murdered by Faceless, Fuga took their child in. He is the most loved by children. His birthday is January 8.

Birthright

On the way to find Takumi and Ryoma, the Avatar and the party are halfway through the Eternal Staircase when they are attacked by Faceless. After battling them, they find out they were members of the Wind Tribe and that Iago disguised them as Faceless. After leaving the staircase, two tribesmen approach the group and accuse them of killing their fellow people. Upon seeing Sakura and Azura in the group, the two decide to take the group to Fuga. During the battle, the Avatar tries to explain what happened to him, though he states that he will only listen if they can beat him in battle.

After the battle, Fuga notices that the Avatar has the Yato on them and comments about it and how he was friends with Sumeragi. He tells the Avatar that he already knows about the incident and believes them, because he would have never expected strangers to be willingly taken to his doorstep. After a short conversation, as part of a "mutual agreement", he allows Hayato to travel with the Avatar.

Conquest

In Chapter 20, the Nohrian army travels into the Wind Tribe Village to use the Eternal Stairway, as all other routes to Hoshido are well protected. Fuga meets with the Avatar, and notices the Avatar's Yato. He tells them that Sumeragi told him that the Yato would bring peace, but if in the wrong hands, would destroy the world. Fuga then asks the Avatar for a battle, stating that he will take up the Yato if they are unworthy of using it. Upon noticing two more divine weapons, Siegfried and Brynhildr, he states that this will be a truly legendary fight and rounds up his best fighters, including Hayato, to battle them on top of castle Reppu.

After the battle, Fuga tells the Avatar that he sees their power and that they are worthy of the Yato. He leaves with Hayato to show the Nohrian army the way to the Eternal Staircase.

Revelation

In Chapter 9, Fuga hears of the Avatar's neutrality in the war between Hoshido and Nohr under the belief that they wish to destroy both kingdoms. When they arrive at the village, they accidentally kill some tribesmen who appeared as Faceless thanks to an illusion. Fuga confronts them, declaring that they are unworthy to wield the Yato, despite their protests that their true goal is to stop an unseen threat. Rinkah suddenly appears and vouches for the Avatar's sincerity, prompting Fuga to test the Avatar's abilities to see if they are worthy of their character. After a short skirmish in the village, Fuga accepts the Avatar's claims as their attacks lacked ill intents. Though he needs to continue to lead his people, he sends Hayato with them as a recruit for the Avatar's cause and also tells them to seek out Izana in Izumo and ask him about the Seal of Flames.

Once the player has fully upgraded the Hot Springs in their My Castle (and has completed Chapter 18), Fuga will join the Avatar's cause, taking the place of Izana for this recruitment method. Note that a day cycle has to occur within the castle before he joins.

"End of spoilers. It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Personality

Fuga's philosophy is that innocence can be proven through one's conviction in battle. Fuga has devoted so much of his life to fighting that he questions if he spent his life well, wishing he had enjoyed life and started a family like Sumeragi. He wonders if he is so old he should retire, but the Avatar encourages him his wisdom is needed for their cause to be successful. Near the end of their supports he also shows some fatherly qualities towards the Avatar. He acts as a mentor towards Hayato, and a bit towards the Avatar, pushing them forward on their path of peace in Revelation.

Base Class Set

Fuga's standard overall growth rates are rather lackluster, with his highest growths being in HP, Strength and Luck; this means that he can be useful in triggering the few Luck-based skills that he has available to him. His personal skill, Wind Disciple, increases his Hit Rate and Avoid marginally when he has less than full HP; it can help in a pinch when Fuga is out of the range of a healer by helping him dodge enemy attacks and deal damage with weapons that have lower Hit chance.

He joins as a pre-promoted unit in Revelation relatively late into the game, starting as a Master of Arms from the Samurai class line; he starts with Duelist's Blow and Vantage. Duelist's Blow can aid Fuga by helping him deal with enemies with high Avoid, while Vantage is extremely useful, as if Fuga has less than half HP he will deal a considerable amount of damage to the enemy while also being able to take more hits due to his base Defense of 29. Also, he starts with the skill Seal Strength as he starts at Level 10; it can be useful by lessening the amount of damage enemies do to him, even if he doesn't hit back. Reclassing to Swordmaster can help to boost his Speed and Resistance while only marginally decreasing his Strength and Defense.
