Hubba Tester

The Hubba Tester testing on Robin and Olivia in Awakening.

Hubba Tester (Fortune Telling in the Japanese version) is an extra feature introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening.

Overview[]

Awakening[]

An old sage named Hubba rates the synergy and relationship between two characters in Chrom's army depending on his reading of how they feel about each other. It has no effect on actual gameplay, but is largely humorous. The final reading Hubba gives are dependent on the two characters' relationship status in the real game save file used such as being parent and child or husband and wife. Hubba's reading are determined upon entering the feature and will stay the same if the player retries a reading. They will change, however, if the player leaves the tester room and reenters.

StreetPass received Avatars, SpotPass Einherjars, and DLC Einherjars can also be used in the Hubba Tester. However, all Einherjars will always receive friendship readings, even if the two are siblings, such as Ephraim and Eirika, or spouses, like Sigurd and Deirdre, in their respective games.

Fates[]

The Hubba Tester returns in Fates as an extra feature in the My Castle Record Hall. Like Awakening, players can test the relationship between any character in their current army. Unlike Awakening, the reading will change if a reading is performed again, even if the player did not leave the feature. Aside from that, the readings and features remain the same.

All Bonus Units including replica versions of the Fates characters are given friendship quotes, even if the characters are related to each other, such as a bonus unit Xander with Elise, bonus unit or normal unit. Unlike Awakening however, einherjars, amiibos, and Captured Units cannot be used for the Hubba Tester.

Hubba's Ratings[]

Hubba will rate how each character feels about each other:

  • A blue wavy arrow indicates a bad reading
  • A green arrow indicates a good reading
  • A red arrow with three hearts indicates the best reading.

Based on the two arrows, Hubba will give a final verdict of the two characters. If both have a Best Reading, a highly decorated golden background will appear in the verdict. If both have a Bad Reading, a dull green background will appear in Awakening and a dull brown background in Fates. In Fates, the character will blush if they have a red arrow, use their neutral face if they have a green arrow, and will have a discontent face if the arrow is blue.

Trivia[]

  • The concept behind the Hubba Tester is similar to other novelty products and programs designed to playfully test the love between two people. Nintendo themselves released a Love Tester in 1969, and that product has been more directly referenced in other Nintendo games including WarioWare: Twisted and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
