{{Quote|As Lord [[Ryoma]]'s retainer, it is my duty to follow his every order. He wishes to take you back to [[Hoshido]], and so it must be done.|Kagero facing Corrin, Conquest Chapter 12: [[Bitter Intrigue]]}}

'''Kagero''' is an ally unit in ''[[Fire Emblem Fates]]'' on the ''Birthright'' and ''Revelation'' routes. One of [[Ryoma]]'s personal retainers, she is a [[Hoshido|Hoshidan]] [[Ninja|kunoichi]] who is loyal and serious to a fault. She is known to have been best friends with the [[Mage|Diviner]] [[Orochi]] since childhood.

==Profile==
 
==Profile==
  +
Kagero is from a noble family who has served the Hoshidan royalty for generations. Originally one of Queen [[Mikoto]]'s personal retainers, Kagero later became Ryoma's retainer at her liege's behest. According to her supports with Corrin, her position was originally meant to be assumed by her older brother. However, due to him suffering from a disease that prevented him from executing the duties expected of a ninja, she thus made the decision to step forward and serve the Hoshidan royal family in his stead.
A kunoichi who serves [[Ryoma]] whose initial class is Ninja. She often works to restrain the reckless [[Saizou]]. Along with Saizou, she is a character that becomes an ally on the Hoshido path.

In Kagero's support conversation with her fellow retainer [[Saizo]], it is revealed that the two of them were in a romantic relationship at some point prior to the events of ''Fates''. Due to their inability to reconcile their differences, they eventually elected to end the relationship and focus instead on their duties.

  +
===Prologue===
  +
Following the battle between the Nohrians and the Hoshidans, Saizo appears and attempts to kill Corrin, but is stopped by [[Xander]] and the royal siblings as he and Kagero make their retreat.
  +
  +
===Birthright===
  +
Following a [[Mokushu|Mokushujin]] ambush set by [[Kotaro]], [[Kaze]] finds Kagero and frees her. She had accompanied her liege when a scout informed him of the situation at [[Cheve]]. Ryoma tasked Kagero with delivering the information back to the kingdom, so she traveled through Mokushu, believing it to be a neutral nation in the war. However, she was captured by their leader and held hostage. She soon sent another ally to inform [[Yukimura]] of the situation and that all Hoshidan ninja should avoid traveling through Mokushu, before requesting to join Corrin's army, which they accept.
  +
  +
Kagero subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr. She continues to serve Ryoma thereafter, with her paintings becoming national treasures.
  +
  +
===Conquest===
  +
Kagero first appears with her liege at [[Palace Macarath]], where Corrin and the Nohrian army are sent to relax after a heated string of battles. However, tipped off by [[Iago]], Ryoma and his army arrive and demand Corrin return to them in return for healing [[Elise]], who had fallen ill during their trip at [[Notre Sagesse]]. Corrin flatly refuses the offer and Kagero is deployed to capture Corrin, though she fails and eventually the Hoshidan army is forced to retreat before they are surrounded by reinforcements.
  +
  +
Following all-out war between Hoshido and Nohr, Kagero is traveling through Mokushu when she is captured. Corrin and their army are sent to help [[Kotaro]] dispel the Hoshidan invaders, when Saizo attempts to assassinate the daimyo. Saizo reveals that Kotaro captured Kagero so that the Hoshidan army would back off, and Corrin requests to see his cells as proof when he attempts to lie. Kotaro admits his crimes and turns on his allies, but is eventually killed in the ensuing battle. Kagero is freed from her cell, and she is initially surprised at first, believing Saizo had allied with Corrin to free her; Saizo responds that it was just by coincidence they cross paths, and they depart afterwards.
  +
  +
Kagero is later seen with both Saizo and her liege as the final stand against the Nohrian army, who had defeated the other siblings' armies. Kagero puts up a good fight to defend her liege despite overwhelming odds, but is eventually slain in battle along with many of her allies. If she survives the battle, her fate remains unknown.
  +
  +
===Revelation===
  +
Like in ''Birthright'' and ''Conquest'', Kagero has been taken hostage by Kotaro and the Mokushujin ninja. Following the end of the ensuing battle, she meets Corrin for the first time after being freed from imprisonment. Initially expressing incredulity at their presence in Hoshido, she is later convinced to aid their cause by [[Takumi]] and [[Sakura]].
  +
  +
Kagero subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to [[Anankos]]' machinations. If she marries Male Corrin or Ryoma, she will become the queen of [[Valla]] and Hoshido, respectively.
  +
  +
==Personality==
  +
Kagero is predominantly defined by her fierce loyalty to Ryoma, where she will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to preserve his life. According to her supports with [[Kaze]], this loyalty of hers sees her devoting the bulk of her time to training or fulfilling missions, leaving her with little time for leisure.
  +
  +
Compared to Saizo, however, the extent of her loyalty is less extreme; through her supports with him, she chastises him for instilling unnecessary fear into the new recruits by insisting that they be prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect their lieges.
  +
  +
Kagero often presents herself as a calm, confident individual, befitting of one who acts as a personal bodyguard of the Hoshidan high prince. This sense of collectedness is consistently maintained even when she is faced with tense situations. One such example may be observed in Kagero's B support with [[Takumi]], where, in response to him demanding her to explain what is lacking in his sense of patience, she remains calm enough to carefully craft a reply without offending him.
  +
  +
Despite the serious demeanor that Kagero commonly presents, she is still able to form meaningful relationships with others and take up hobbies for amusement. Her supports with other characters often portray her as being receptive to conversation; through her supports with [[Rinkah]], for one, she initiates conversation in a bid to strike up a friendship with her.
  +
  +
Kagero is also known to harbor an interest in painting, a fact that sees her spending much of her free time engaging in the art. Though she lacks the aptitude for painting, it is through this medium that she has established a steadfast friendship with Orochi, one that has remained strong since childhood. Through their supports, it is evident that Orochi appreciates Kagero's eccentric style of art, to the point where she regards a card featuring a brook-and-water drawing as a symbol of their friendship. This is also shared by [[Odin]], who admired Kagero's art of a silkwyrm as a stroke of genius in their supports, and attempts to summon it, with Kagero eager to help out, showing a desire to have her art come to life. While [[Hinata]] calls the art abstract as well as creepy and ominous, which Kagero claims is not the intent, he also assures her that he genuinely likes it, saying it has an odd appeal.
  +
  +
Kagero is said to be the best diary-keeper in the army.

===== Base Class =====
  +
Kagero is the third Ninja recruited in ''Birthright'' and ''Revelation''. Lacking in [[HP]], [[Magic (stat)|Magic]], [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] and [[Defense (stat)|Defense]], she is instead defined by high [[Strength]] and [[Speed (stat)|Speed]] and moderate [[Resistance]]. This translates into Kagero being the very definition of a glass cannon, capable of inflicting strong attacks but rather frail in terms of physical defense. Her personal skill, [[Shuriken Mastery]], makes her particularly effective when facing against [[Dagger (weapon type)|Shuriken]]-wielding foes, as she inflicts half the damage received from an enemy Shuriken attack and also gives them the same debuffs that she receives. She will not be using this in ''Birthright'' as often as enemy Shuriken users are limited to [[Maid|Maids]], which are seldom used offensively as they are primarily healers. It also serves as a means to cover some of the weapon advantage Shuriken users have over her if she is using a Sword or a Tome.
  +
  +
Kagero's two base promotions are [[Master Ninja]] and the [[Mechanist]]. As a Master Ninja, she will stand to gain a slight increase in her Resistance, alongside the added ability to wield [[Sword]]s and [[Sword|Katanas]]. [[Lethality]] is one of the skills that she can learn in this class, possessing the unique ability to instantly kill an enemy. Given its low activation rate and Kagero's poor Skill, however, it is not very reliable, especially when she is subjected to difficult situations. [[Shurikenfaire]] is the other skill that she can learn, and is one that will complement her natural proficiency in Shuriken by boosting her attack damage with them armed.
  +
  +
As a Mechanist, Kagero sacrifices some Skill and Speed to boost her HP, Strength and [[Luck]]. [[Golembane]] is practically useless due to there being a lack of [[Stoneborn]] and puppet-based enemies in the game. [[Replicate]], conversely, allows Kagero to create a clone of herself, thereby permitting her to fight in two different locations at once. Due to Kagero's poor Defense, using this skill requires some caution to prevent her from being killed.
  +
  +
=====Secondary Class=====
  +
Kagero's secondary class set is [[Mage|Diviner]] and its promotions, [[Sage|Onmyoji]] and [[Basara]]. Unfortunately, she has very little reason to be either a Diviner or an Onmyoji due to her nonexistent Magic, but she can stand to profit from Basara's skill repertoire. As a Diviner, Kagero can learn [[Future Sight]], which can make training her easier due to the boosts that it injects into her EXP gains.
  +
  +
As a Basara, Kagero can learn [[Rend Heaven]], which is better for her compared to Lethality. This is due to it having a much higher activation rate, alongside allowing he to inflict huge amounts of damage with each activation. This skill is especially useful when facing [[General]]s and [[Berserker]]s, and it also further helps to alleviate the poor [[Might]] of Shurikens. [[Quixotic]], conversely, is quite risky, boosting both Kagero and the foes' Hit and skill activation. As Kagero's Skill is not very good to begin with, Quixotic can thus be considered to offset any problems that she may have with skill activations, although much caution must be exercised when doing so.
  +
  +
=====Friendship Class Sets =====
  +
*'''[[Rinkah]]''': Rinkah provides her with [[Oni Savage]] and its promotions, [[Oni Chieftain]] and [[Blacksmith]]. This set largely eliminates all of her Skill to greatly improve her Strength and defensive capabilities. As an Oni Chieftain, Kagero can learn [[Death Blow]], which becomes extremely deadly when used in tandem with [[Barb Shuriken]]. She can also learn [[Counter]], which will allow he to deflect attacks dealt to her at close range. As a Blacksmith, Kagero's HP and Defense growths are boosted without sacrificing much of her Skill. [[Lancebreaker]] allows her to better deal with [[Lance (weapon)|Lance]] and [[Lance (weapon)|Naginata]]-wielding opponents.
  +
*'''[[Setsuna]]''': Setsuna provides her with [[Archer]] and its promotions, [[Sniper]] and [[Kinshi Knight]]. This set gives her slightly less Skill and Speed compared to Ninja, but this is offset by the boosts it provides to her HP, Strength, Luck and Defense growths. As a Sniper, Kagero can learn [[Certain Blow]], which can help boost her accuracy without the drawbacks of Quixotic. She can also learn [[Bowfaire]], which is only useful if she intends to remain in a [[Bow]]-wielding class. As a Kinshi Knight, Kagero can learn [[Air Superiority]], which is also more useful when she is in a Bow-wielding class. She also stands to learn [[Amaterasu]], which sees better use on units that are more focused on providing assistance to their allies from the backlines. Aside from skills, the Archer line makes great use of her high Strength by providing a natural Hit bonus.
  +
*'''[[Peri]]''': Peri provides her with [[Cavalier]] and its promotions, [[Paladin]] and [[Great Knight]]. As a Paladin, Kagero can learn [[Defender]], which gives a +1 bonus to all stats when she leads a [[Guard Stance]]. She also stands to learn [[Aegis]], which protects her from Bows and Magic attacks. As a Great Knight, Kagero can learn [[Luna (Skill)|Luna]], which fixes the low Might of Shuriken by ignoring the Defense of foes when activated. She also learns [[Armored Blow]], letting her attack enemies without the fear of sustaining too much physical damage.
  +
  +
=====Marriage Class=====
  +
*'''[[Ryoma]]/[[Kaze]]/[[Hinata]]/[[Saizo]]''': All four of these men provide her with [[Myrmidon|Samurai]] and its promotions, [[Swordmaster]], and [[Master of Arms]]. Kagero's stats complement the class very well and is a viable option if looking to increase her offense on the battlefield. Samurai notably provides her with [[Vantage (Skill)|Vantage]], allowing her to safely initiate combat during the enemy's turn when low on HP. Given her fragility is offset by her high damage output, this almost guarantees her survivability. Swordmaster provides her with [[Astra (Skill)|Astra]], which allows her to pile damage, allowing her to deal more damage in a single round of combat, although she likely won't trigger it too often due to her below average Skill growth. Swordfaire increases her damage output with Swords, and can be bought back over to Master Ninja. Master of Arms provides her with Seal Strength, a useful debuffing tool, and [[Life and Death]], which combined with her high Attack gives her the ability to take out all but the bulkiest of foes.
  +
*'''[[Takumi]]''': Takumi provides her with [[Archer]]. For information, read Setsuna's section above.
  +
*'''[[Silas]]''': Silas provides her with [[Cavalier]].
  +
*'''[[Owain|Odin]]''': Odin provides her with [[Dark Mage]] and its promotions, [[Sorcerer]] and [[Dark Knight (Awakening)|Dark Knight]]. Kagero has a lot to gain skill wise from this set, but due to her non-existent Magic growth, her ability to excel in these classes is severely limited. Dark Mage's [[Heartseeker]] reduces adjacent enemy avoid, allowing Kagero to easily tag them with Shuriken to apply her debuffs. Sorcerer has [[Vengeance (Skill)|Vengeance]], allowing her to apply more damage to her Shuriken attacks the more hurt she is. While it has a high activation rate, her low growth rates makes it risky to use as she needs to stay injured to have any benefits from it. Due to her weakness to Bow wielders, Sorcerer's [[Bowbreaker]] alleviates the threat of [[Sniper|Snipers]] and other high skill wielding bow users and is a great skill to have. Dark Knight has [[Seal Magic]] to guarantee that she can cripple mage characters, especially when her Shuriken has a weapon advantage over them, and [[Lifetaker]] for a great regeneration skill so long as she can eliminate her opponent. Lastly, all of the classes in the Dark Mage line have a Weapon Triangle Disadvantage against Shuriken/Daggers, which is helpful in activating [[Shuriken Mastery]].
  +
*'''[[Arthur]]''': Arthur provides her with [[Fighter]], which Kagero naturally excels in with her high Strength, matching [[Charlotte]] in terms of pure physical power as a Fighter.

====Overall====

{{Subjective}}
  +
=====Base Set=====
  +
In the earliest days of ''Heroes'', Kagero was the strongest Dagger unit one could obtain. This was due in part to her unique weapon [[Poison Dagger]], which remains the only weapon to this day in ''Heroes'' that deals effective damage to infantry units. However, with the advent of skill inheritance, Kagero lost most of her niche due to units being able to mitigate her mainstay strength. Still, on a stat level, Kagero has aged well with a respectable 35 Atk and 32 Spd, which are quite high for a Book I unit. Her mixed bulk is rather low in exchange, but Kagero rarely needs to worry about this as her primary focus is on player turn offense and trying to assassinate enemy units or at least severely cripple them. Overall, Kagero aged considerably well statwise and a little bit of investment can go a long way with her. Being the recipient of a Resplendent form also gives her a considerable boost as well to bring her up to speed in the modern meta of ''Heroes''.<br>
  +
[[Kagero's Dart]] became a new preferred weapon for her to use a while after her initial launch. While she loses her effectiveness against infantry units, she gains 9 additional Atk, pushing her to 49 neutral. It also boosts Atk and Spd by 4 if her Atk is greater than her foes', calculated after buffs and in combat skills, such as [[Death Blow]]'s effect. With proper buffing and skills, Kagero can easily become the physically strongest Dagger unit in the game. She also inflicts a unique Debuff called【Dagger 7】, reducing the Def/Res of her target and any enemy within two spaces of the target, which is a huge debuff. Finally, her dagger can be refined to reduce the damage of her enemy's first attack by 50% if she initiates, giving her a little more safety when engaging in combat since she has decent enough Spd to prevent a slew of potential enemies from landing the second blow on her that she cannot reduce.<br>
  +
Kagero's kit includes [[Reprisal]], boosting her damage when wounded and is faster at charging than Vengeance. [[Warding Blow]] boosts her Res when initiating combat, which goes nicely on her middling Res to push it to decently bulky. Finally she is the only unit with [[Shurikenbreaker|Daggerbreaker]], which is a minimal benefit to her as Daggers are such a rarity.
  +
  +
=====Counters=====
  +
Kagero suffers form horrible physical bulk and any sort of Bow user or any close range attacker and run through that weakness. She is at her weakest during her opponent's turn, thus getting the initiative on her will immediately remove her only safety net. As a colorless unit, Raventomes easily take care of her, even those who are infantry like both [[Robin]]'s, all forms of [[Lyon]], and [[Sophia]].
  +
  +
=====Skill Inheritance=====
  +
Kagero can become an anti-unit attacker if she inherits one of many seasonal daggers like [[Sky Maiougi]], [[Cloud Maiougi]], and [[Dusk Uchiwa]] to deal effective damage against other unit types. [[Draw Back]] or [[Reposition]] serve as excellent unit manipulation for her Support Skill. [[Glimmer]] is great when she uses buffs to deal damage or [[Moonbow]] to ignore her foe's Def, thus giving her more damage.
  +
  +
[[Fury]] or [[Death Blow]] work well with her damage output, either giving her flat stat increases to her stats or better Atk on initiation, the latter of which pairs nicely with her Dart. [[Life and Death]] also works well with her as the lost defenses for a larger increase to her offenses gives her generally better overall benefits, especially since the damage reduction of her Dart helps to mitigate the lost defenses. The form pairs especially well with [[Desperation (skill)|Desperation]] for high damage output. Skill C has many different options from Wave, Drive, Threaten, and Ploy. While it is flexible enough for her to make the most of any of those skills, she will generally want skills that will bolster her Atk and/or Spd or reduce her foe's Def prior to combat.

=====Base Set=====
  +
Spring Kagero is the first Flying Dagger unit, long before [[Eir]] was introduced. The underpowered nature of Daggers were not too large of a hinderance as her [[Lethal Carrot]] increased damage by a flat 10 whenever she activated her special move. Her high Atk and Spd allowed her to maintain her Specials and thus yield high damage outputs on her enemy, especially on top of her [[Glimmer]] skill which she can empower with Flier support skills. [[Speed Resistance Bond|Spd/Res Bond]] gave her bonus Spd and Res when adjacent to an ally during battle while [[Goad Fliers]] helps her flying teammates. She also has [[Live for Honor]], which helps to farm Badges and Crests in the [[Training Tower]], though the benefits are likely minimal due to the already high payout of such items for free.
  +
  +
Spring Kagero is a strong Dagger unit that benefits on Flier teams or just about any team that can supply her buffs. Her only downside is that there are two other Colorless Flying Dagger units, one of which is Eir, who is a Mythic Hero every player can obtain and the other is [[Camilla|Hot Spring Camilla]], a [[Heroic Grail]] unit.
  +
  +
=====Counters=====
  +
Spring Kagero has maintained the same weaknesses as her base form. Her low Physical bulk leaves her vulnerable to all sorts of melee weapons. Bow wielders are guaranteed to take her down, dealing effective damage and having generally strong enough Atk to kill her even if she runs [[Iote's Shield (Skill)|Iote's Shield]]. As a colorless unit, Raventomes easily take care of her, even those who are infantry like both [[Robin]]s, [[Lyon]], and [[Sophia]].
  +
  +
=====Skill Inheritance=====
  +
Spring Kagero does need an overhaul mainly of her Passive Skills as she is best suited for Player Turn combat. [[Reposition]] is a great ally manipulation skill to pull allies out of harms way or move them closer to initiate their own attacks. [[Swift Sparrow]] is a key skill for her as she enjoys having the bonus Atk and Spd to deal more damage and guarantee a double attack. [[Desperation (skill)|Desperation]] grants her the ability to guarantee her follow up attack when wounded. Finally, [[Hone Fliers]] is a better Skill C to boost her ally fliers.

=====Base Set=====
  +
Like her prior form, Halloween Kagero introduced a new unit type combination: Armor Dagger and Green at that. She is just as strong Atk wise as her other two forms, however she is unusually slow, instead trading that for bulk. Halloween Kagero is an excellent Armor unit built to perform in the current Meta.<br>
  +
Halloween Kagero punishes units relying on Special attacks as [[Bottled Juice]] increases Cooldowns when she hits them, slowing down their ability to nuke her, if at all. [[Draconic Aura]] increases her damage when it procs as it takes her impressive 50 Neutral IV Atk and adds 15 bonus Atk when it activates. [[Mirror Strike]] boosts her Atk and Res when initiating combat. [[Bold Fighter]] is an excellent Skill B as it makes her abysmal Spd irrelevant when she doubles and speeds her Special charging when she initiates. [[Even Attack Wave]] further increases her Atk during even numbered turns, allowing her to hit even harder every other turn.<br>
  +
While her low Spd may be a small issue, she has enough already in her base kit to cover that one weakness and make her a dangerous unit if not addressed properly.
  +
  +
=====Counters=====
  +
As an armor unit, Halloween Kagero is weak to Armor slaying weapons, especially those who have color advantage over her like [[Hana]], [[Tobin]], and [[Selena]]. She is, however, one of the few who can withstand an attack from [[Micaiah]] thanks to her color advantage and exceptional magical bulk. Reds carrying [[Distant Counter]] skills or weapons can also counter her effectively with color advantage such as [[Ryoma]], [[Ike|Legendary Ike]], [[Hríd]], and [[Zelgius]]. Additionally [[Wrath]] sword units can easily kill her in a single round if they are in range of the skill.
  +
  +
=====Skill Inheritance=====
  +
Halloween Kagero is not restricted to Bottled Juice, as she can use just about any other inheritable Dagger with great effectiveness. [[Swap]] or [[Pivot]] are tried and true Armor skills, giving her mobility with either one. Draconic Aura is already a great skill, though she can also run [[Glimmer]] if relying on Armor buffs. [[Death Blow]] is better over Mirror Strike as her Res is already strong enough that the points allocated to that is better suited to just being in Atk alone. Her Skill C can be any sort of Armor buffing skill if being used on an Armor team.

“As Lord Ryoma's retainer, it is my duty to follow his every order. He wishes to take you back to Hoshido, and so it must be done.”
—Kagero facing Corrin, Conquest Chapter 12: Bitter Intrigue

Kagero is an ally unit in Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. One of Ryoma's personal retainers, she is a Hoshidan kunoichi who is loyal and serious to a fault. She is known to have been best friends with the Diviner Orochi since childhood.

Profile

Kagero is from a noble family who has served the Hoshidan royalty for generations. Originally one of Queen Mikoto's personal retainers, Kagero later became Ryoma's retainer at her liege's behest. According to her supports with Corrin, her position was originally meant to be assumed by her older brother. However, due to him suffering from a disease that prevented him from executing the duties expected of a ninja, she thus made the decision to step forward and serve the Hoshidan royal family in his stead.

In Kagero's support conversation with her fellow retainer Saizo, it is revealed that the two of them were in a romantic relationship at some point prior to the events of Fates. Due to their inability to reconcile their differences, they eventually elected to end the relationship and focus instead on their duties.

Prologue

Following the battle between the Nohrians and the Hoshidans, Saizo appears and attempts to kill Corrin, but is stopped by Xander and the royal siblings as he and Kagero make their retreat.

Birthright

Following a Mokushujin ambush set by Kotaro, Kaze finds Kagero and frees her. She had accompanied her liege when a scout informed him of the situation at Cheve. Ryoma tasked Kagero with delivering the information back to the kingdom, so she traveled through Mokushu, believing it to be a neutral nation in the war. However, she was captured by their leader and held hostage. She soon sent another ally to inform Yukimura of the situation and that all Hoshidan ninja should avoid traveling through Mokushu, before requesting to join Corrin's army, which they accept.

Kagero subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr. She continues to serve Ryoma thereafter, with her paintings becoming national treasures.

Conquest

Kagero first appears with her liege at Palace Macarath, where Corrin and the Nohrian army are sent to relax after a heated string of battles. However, tipped off by Iago, Ryoma and his army arrive and demand Corrin return to them in return for healing Elise, who had fallen ill during their trip at Notre Sagesse. Corrin flatly refuses the offer and Kagero is deployed to capture Corrin, though she fails and eventually the Hoshidan army is forced to retreat before they are surrounded by reinforcements.

Following all-out war between Hoshido and Nohr, Kagero is traveling through Mokushu when she is captured. Corrin and their army are sent to help Kotaro dispel the Hoshidan invaders, when Saizo attempts to assassinate the daimyo. Saizo reveals that Kotaro captured Kagero so that the Hoshidan army would back off, and Corrin requests to see his cells as proof when he attempts to lie. Kotaro admits his crimes and turns on his allies, but is eventually killed in the ensuing battle. Kagero is freed from her cell, and she is initially surprised at first, believing Saizo had allied with Corrin to free her; Saizo responds that it was just by coincidence they cross paths, and they depart afterwards.

Kagero is later seen with both Saizo and her liege as the final stand against the Nohrian army, who had defeated the other siblings' armies. Kagero puts up a good fight to defend her liege despite overwhelming odds, but is eventually slain in battle along with many of her allies. If she survives the battle, her fate remains unknown.

Revelation

Like in Birthright and Conquest, Kagero has been taken hostage by Kotaro and the Mokushujin ninja. Following the end of the ensuing battle, she meets Corrin for the first time after being freed from imprisonment. Initially expressing incredulity at their presence in Hoshido, she is later convinced to aid their cause by Takumi and Sakura.

Kagero subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to Anankos' machinations. If she marries Male Corrin or Ryoma, she will become the queen of Valla and Hoshido, respectively.

Personality

Kagero is predominantly defined by her fierce loyalty to Ryoma, where she will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to preserve his life. According to her supports with Kaze, this loyalty of hers sees her devoting the bulk of her time to training or fulfilling missions, leaving her with little time for leisure.

Compared to Saizo, however, the extent of her loyalty is less extreme; through her supports with him, she chastises him for instilling unnecessary fear into the new recruits by insisting that they be prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect their lieges.

Kagero often presents herself as a calm, confident individual, befitting of one who acts as a personal bodyguard of the Hoshidan high prince. This sense of collectedness is consistently maintained even when she is faced with tense situations. One such example may be observed in Kagero's B support with Takumi, where, in response to him demanding her to explain what is lacking in his sense of patience, she remains calm enough to carefully craft a reply without offending him.

Despite the serious demeanor that Kagero commonly presents, she is still able to form meaningful relationships with others and take up hobbies for amusement. Her supports with other characters often portray her as being receptive to conversation; through her supports with Rinkah, for one, she initiates conversation in a bid to strike up a friendship with her.

Kagero is also known to harbor an interest in painting, a fact that sees her spending much of her free time engaging in the art. Though she lacks the aptitude for painting, it is through this medium that she has established a steadfast friendship with Orochi, one that has remained strong since childhood. Through their supports, it is evident that Orochi appreciates Kagero's eccentric style of art, to the point where she regards a card featuring a brook-and-water drawing as a symbol of their friendship. This is also shared by Odin, who admired Kagero's art of a silkwyrm as a stroke of genius in their supports, and attempts to summon it, with Kagero eager to help out, showing a desire to have her art come to life. While Hinata calls the art abstract as well as creepy and ominous, which Kagero claims is not the intent, he also assures her that he genuinely likes it, saying it has an odd appeal.

Kagero is said to be the best diary-keeper in the army.

Kagero is the third Ninja recruited in Birthright and Revelation. Lacking in HP, Magic, Skill and Defense, she is instead defined by high Strength and Speed and moderate Resistance. This translates into Kagero being the very definition of a glass cannon, capable of inflicting strong attacks but rather frail in terms of physical defense. Her personal skill, Shuriken Mastery, makes her particularly effective when facing against Shuriken-wielding foes, as she inflicts half the damage received from an enemy Shuriken attack and also gives them the same debuffs that she receives. She will not be using this in Birthright as often as enemy Shuriken users are limited to Maids, which are seldom used offensively as they are primarily healers. It also serves as a means to cover some of the weapon advantage Shuriken users have over her if she is using a Sword or a Tome.

Kagero's two base promotions are Master Ninja and the Mechanist. As a Master Ninja, she will stand to gain a slight increase in her Resistance, alongside the added ability to wield Swords and Katanas. Lethality is one of the skills that she can learn in this class, possessing the unique ability to instantly kill an enemy. Given its low activation rate and Kagero's poor Skill, however, it is not very reliable, especially when she is subjected to difficult situations. Shurikenfaire is the other skill that she can learn, and is one that will complement her natural proficiency in Shuriken by boosting her attack damage with them armed.

As a Mechanist, Kagero sacrifices some Skill and Speed to boost her HP, Strength and Luck. Golembane is practically useless due to there being a lack of Stoneborn and puppet-based enemies in the game. Replicate, conversely, allows Kagero to create a clone of herself, thereby permitting her to fight in two different locations at once. Due to Kagero's poor Defense, using this skill requires some caution to prevent her from being killed.

Secondary Class

Kagero's secondary class set is Diviner and its promotions, Onmyoji and Basara. Unfortunately, she has very little reason to be either a Diviner or an Onmyoji due to her nonexistent Magic, but she can stand to profit from Basara's skill repertoire. As a Diviner, Kagero can learn Future Sight, which can make training her easier due to the boosts that it injects into her EXP gains.

As a Basara, Kagero can learn Rend Heaven, which is better for her compared to Lethality. This is due to it having a much higher activation rate, alongside allowing he to inflict huge amounts of damage with each activation. This skill is especially useful when facing Generals and Berserkers, and it also further helps to alleviate the poor Might of Shurikens. Quixotic, conversely, is quite risky, boosting both Kagero and the foes' Hit and skill activation. As Kagero's Skill is not very good to begin with, Quixotic can thus be considered to offset any problems that she may have with skill activations, although much caution must be exercised when doing so.

Friendship Class Sets
  • Rinkah: Rinkah provides her with Oni Savage and its promotions, Oni Chieftain and Blacksmith. This set largely eliminates all of her Skill to greatly improve her Strength and defensive capabilities. As an Oni Chieftain, Kagero can learn Death Blow, which becomes extremely deadly when used in tandem with Barb Shuriken. She can also learn Counter, which will allow he to deflect attacks dealt to her at close range. As a Blacksmith, Kagero's HP and Defense growths are boosted without sacrificing much of her Skill. Lancebreaker allows her to better deal with Lance and Naginata-wielding opponents.
  • Setsuna: Setsuna provides her with Archer and its promotions, Sniper and Kinshi Knight. This set gives her slightly less Skill and Speed compared to Ninja, but this is offset by the boosts it provides to her HP, Strength, Luck and Defense growths. As a Sniper, Kagero can learn Certain Blow, which can help boost her accuracy without the drawbacks of Quixotic. She can also learn Bowfaire, which is only useful if she intends to remain in a Bow-wielding class. As a Kinshi Knight, Kagero can learn Air Superiority, which is also more useful when she is in a Bow-wielding class. She also stands to learn Amaterasu, which sees better use on units that are more focused on providing assistance to their allies from the backlines. Aside from skills, the Archer line makes great use of her high Strength by providing a natural Hit bonus.
  • Peri: Peri provides her with Cavalier and its promotions, Paladin and Great Knight. As a Paladin, Kagero can learn Defender, which gives a +1 bonus to all stats when she leads a Guard Stance. She also stands to learn Aegis, which protects her from Bows and Magic attacks. As a Great Knight, Kagero can learn Luna, which fixes the low Might of Shuriken by ignoring the Defense of foes when activated. She also learns Armored Blow, letting her attack enemies without the fear of sustaining too much physical damage.
Marriage Class
  • Ryoma/Kaze/Hinata/Saizo: All four of these men provide her with Samurai and its promotions, Swordmaster, and Master of Arms. Kagero's stats complement the class very well and is a viable option if looking to increase her offense on the battlefield. Samurai notably provides her with Vantage, allowing her to safely initiate combat during the enemy's turn when low on HP. Given her fragility is offset by her high damage output, this almost guarantees her survivability. Swordmaster provides her with Astra, which allows her to pile damage, allowing her to deal more damage in a single round of combat, although she likely won't trigger it too often due to her below average Skill growth. Swordfaire increases her damage output with Swords, and can be bought back over to Master Ninja. Master of Arms provides her with Seal Strength, a useful debuffing tool, and Life and Death, which combined with her high Attack gives her the ability to take out all but the bulkiest of foes.
  • Takumi: Takumi provides her with Archer. For information, read Setsuna's section above.
  • Silas: Silas provides her with Cavalier.
  • Odin: Odin provides her with Dark Mage and its promotions, Sorcerer and Dark Knight. Kagero has a lot to gain skill wise from this set, but due to her non-existent Magic growth, her ability to excel in these classes is severely limited. Dark Mage's Heartseeker reduces adjacent enemy avoid, allowing Kagero to easily tag them with Shuriken to apply her debuffs. Sorcerer has Vengeance, allowing her to apply more damage to her Shuriken attacks the more hurt she is. While it has a high activation rate, her low growth rates makes it risky to use as she needs to stay injured to have any benefits from it. Due to her weakness to Bow wielders, Sorcerer's Bowbreaker alleviates the threat of Snipers and other high skill wielding bow users and is a great skill to have. Dark Knight has Seal Magic to guarantee that she can cripple mage characters, especially when her Shuriken has a weapon advantage over them, and Lifetaker for a great regeneration skill so long as she can eliminate her opponent. Lastly, all of the classes in the Dark Mage line have a Weapon Triangle Disadvantage against Shuriken/Daggers, which is helpful in activating Shuriken Mastery.
  • Arthur: Arthur provides her with Fighter, which Kagero naturally excels in with her high Strength, matching Charlotte in terms of pure physical power as a Fighter.

Base Set

In the earliest days of Heroes, Kagero was the strongest Dagger unit one could obtain. This was due in part to her unique weapon Poison Dagger, which remains the only weapon to this day in Heroes that deals effective damage to infantry units. However, with the advent of skill inheritance, Kagero lost most of her niche due to units being able to mitigate her mainstay strength. Still, on a stat level, Kagero has aged well with a respectable 35 Atk and 32 Spd, which are quite high for a Book I unit. Her mixed bulk is rather low in exchange, but Kagero rarely needs to worry about this as her primary focus is on player turn offense and trying to assassinate enemy units or at least severely cripple them. Overall, Kagero aged considerably well statwise and a little bit of investment can go a long way with her. Being the recipient of a Resplendent form also gives her a considerable boost as well to bring her up to speed in the modern meta of Heroes.
Kagero's Dart became a new preferred weapon for her to use a while after her initial launch. While she loses her effectiveness against infantry units, she gains 9 additional Atk, pushing her to 49 neutral. It also boosts Atk and Spd by 4 if her Atk is greater than her foes', calculated after buffs and in combat skills, such as Death Blow's effect. With proper buffing and skills, Kagero can easily become the physically strongest Dagger unit in the game. She also inflicts a unique Debuff called【Dagger 7】, reducing the Def/Res of her target and any enemy within two spaces of the target, which is a huge debuff. Finally, her dagger can be refined to reduce the damage of her enemy's first attack by 50% if she initiates, giving her a little more safety when engaging in combat since she has decent enough Spd to prevent a slew of potential enemies from landing the second blow on her that she cannot reduce.
Kagero's kit includes Reprisal, boosting her damage when wounded and is faster at charging than Vengeance. Warding Blow boosts her Res when initiating combat, which goes nicely on her middling Res to push it to decently bulky. Finally she is the only unit with Daggerbreaker, which is a minimal benefit to her as Daggers are such a rarity.

Counters

Kagero suffers form horrible physical bulk and any sort of Bow user or any close range attacker and run through that weakness. She is at her weakest during her opponent's turn, thus getting the initiative on her will immediately remove her only safety net. As a colorless unit, Raventomes easily take care of her, even those who are infantry like both Robin's, all forms of Lyon, and Sophia.

Skill Inheritance

Kagero can become an anti-unit attacker if she inherits one of many seasonal daggers like Sky Maiougi, Cloud Maiougi, and Dusk Uchiwa to deal effective damage against other unit types. Draw Back or Reposition serve as excellent unit manipulation for her Support Skill. Glimmer is great when she uses buffs to deal damage or Moonbow to ignore her foe's Def, thus giving her more damage.

Fury or Death Blow work well with her damage output, either giving her flat stat increases to her stats or better Atk on initiation, the latter of which pairs nicely with her Dart. Life and Death also works well with her as the lost defenses for a larger increase to her offenses gives her generally better overall benefits, especially since the damage reduction of her Dart helps to mitigate the lost defenses. The form pairs especially well with Desperation for high damage output. Skill C has many different options from Wave, Drive, Threaten, and Ploy. While it is flexible enough for her to make the most of any of those skills, she will generally want skills that will bolster her Atk and/or Spd or reduce her foe's Def prior to combat.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.
Base Set

Spring Kagero is the first Flying Dagger unit, long before Eir was introduced. The underpowered nature of Daggers were not too large of a hinderance as her Lethal Carrot increased damage by a flat 10 whenever she activated her special move. Her high Atk and Spd allowed her to maintain her Specials and thus yield high damage outputs on her enemy, especially on top of her Glimmer skill which she can empower with Flier support skills. Spd/Res Bond gave her bonus Spd and Res when adjacent to an ally during battle while Goad Fliers helps her flying teammates. She also has Live for Honor, which helps to farm Badges and Crests in the Training Tower, though the benefits are likely minimal due to the already high payout of such items for free.

Spring Kagero is a strong Dagger unit that benefits on Flier teams or just about any team that can supply her buffs. Her only downside is that there are two other Colorless Flying Dagger units, one of which is Eir, who is a Mythic Hero every player can obtain and the other is Hot Spring Camilla, a Heroic Grail unit.

Counters

Spring Kagero has maintained the same weaknesses as her base form. Her low Physical bulk leaves her vulnerable to all sorts of melee weapons. Bow wielders are guaranteed to take her down, dealing effective damage and having generally strong enough Atk to kill her even if she runs Iote's Shield. As a colorless unit, Raventomes easily take care of her, even those who are infantry like both Robins, Lyon, and Sophia.

Skill Inheritance

Spring Kagero does need an overhaul mainly of her Passive Skills as she is best suited for Player Turn combat. Reposition is a great ally manipulation skill to pull allies out of harms way or move them closer to initiate their own attacks. Swift Sparrow is a key skill for her as she enjoys having the bonus Atk and Spd to deal more damage and guarantee a double attack. Desperation grants her the ability to guarantee her follow up attack when wounded. Finally, Hone Fliers is a better Skill C to boost her ally fliers.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.
Base Set

Like her prior form, Halloween Kagero introduced a new unit type combination: Armor Dagger and Green at that. She is just as strong Atk wise as her other two forms, however she is unusually slow, instead trading that for bulk. Halloween Kagero is an excellent Armor unit built to perform in the current Meta.
Halloween Kagero punishes units relying on Special attacks as Bottled Juice increases Cooldowns when she hits them, slowing down their ability to nuke her, if at all. Draconic Aura increases her damage when it procs as it takes her impressive 50 Neutral IV Atk and adds 15 bonus Atk when it activates. Mirror Strike boosts her Atk and Res when initiating combat. Bold Fighter is an excellent Skill B as it makes her abysmal Spd irrelevant when she doubles and speeds her Special charging when she initiates. Even Attack Wave further increases her Atk during even numbered turns, allowing her to hit even harder every other turn.
While her low Spd may be a small issue, she has enough already in her base kit to cover that one weakness and make her a dangerous unit if not addressed properly.

Counters

As an armor unit, Halloween Kagero is weak to Armor slaying weapons, especially those who have color advantage over her like Hana, Tobin, and Selena. She is, however, one of the few who can withstand an attack from Micaiah thanks to her color advantage and exceptional magical bulk. Reds carrying Distant Counter skills or weapons can also counter her effectively with color advantage such as Ryoma, Legendary Ike, Hríd, and Zelgius. Additionally Wrath sword units can easily kill her in a single round if they are in range of the skill.

Skill Inheritance
Halloween Kagero is not restricted to Bottled Juice, as she can use just about any other inheritable Dagger with great effectiveness. Swap or Pivot are tried and true Armor skills, giving her mobility with either one. Draconic Aura is already a great skill, though she can also run Glimmer if relying on Armor buffs. Death Blow is better over Mirror Strike as her Res is already strong enough that the points allocated to that is better suited to just being in Atk alone. Her Skill C can be any sort of Armor buffing skill if being used on an Armor team.
