“You're right. I can't stand these Nohrian scum. If they've done ANYTHING to harm our master... I don't know what I'll do.”
—Oboro, Birthright Chapter 9: Land of Gods

Oboro is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates on the Birthright and Revelation routes. One of Takumi's personal retainers, she is a Hoshidan Naginata Fighter who bears an unquenchable thirst for vengeance against Nohr for the death of her parents.

Profile[]

Oboro's family once owned a well-known kimono shop that bore strong connections to the royal family of Hoshido. These connections proved to be fatal to her parents, as the political and economic influence that they gained caused them to attract the attention of Nohr, resulting in them being ambushed and killed by a Nohrian assassin when they were en route to Nohr on a business trip. The perpetrator was an experienced assassin, who was Beruka's mentor. Oboro survived by hiding in a cart, and she was thereafter taken in by relatives who worked directly for the Hoshidan nobility. Through this connection, Oboro eventually learned how to wield the Naginata, thereafter enlisting as a soldier in the Hoshidan army. Some time after her enlistment, Oboro was appointed as one of Prince Takumi's personal retainers.

Birthright[]

Oboro first appears in Chapter 9 alongside her fellow retainer Hinata in the castle interior of Izumo, where they attempt to locate Takumi after he is separated from them. They instead run headlong into a conflict that had broken out between Corrin's army and a group of Nohrian soldiers led by Zola prior to their arrival.

Upon speaking to Corrin, Oboro mistakes them as a Nohrian due to their appearance and attempts to attack them. Corrin is barely able to have her stand down and introduces themselves to her, upon which she realizes that they are Takumi's sibling and apologizes for the incident. She then helps them drive Zola and his men out of the Izumo castle.

Oboro subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr. She continues serving Takumi thereafter, eventually reopening her parents' shop.

Conquest[]

Oboro first appears in the Port Town of Dia in Chapter 10 alongside Hinata and her liege. Deployed on a mission to the port, the three lead an army in an attempt to prevent Corrin's army from making their way to Notre Sagesse by blocking off all access to the ferries leaving port. When Oboro encounters Corrin in battle, she will immediately assume her signature demonic facial expression before apologizing for being tasked to personally slay them. Despite the efforts of the Hoshidans, they are eventually defeated by Corrin's army and forced to retreat.

Oboro appears once more in Chapter 23, where she and Hinata aid Takumi in defending the Great Wall of Suzanoh from the advance of Corrin's army. Positioned on the wall walk itself, Oboro makes her last stand but is overpowered by Corrin's forces and falls in battle. In her final moments, she reveals the love that she harbors for Takumi, expressing regret at not having admitted her feelings to him. She can survive the battle if chosen not to be engaged with, which will be unlikely, however, but there are no additional script on her whereabouts after the battle's conclusion.

Revelation[]

Oboro first appears in Chapter 10, where she, Hinata and Takumi are captured by Zola and a small band of Nohrians in Izumo. After Corrin defeats Zola and liberates Izumo, Oboro and the others are released. After hearing Izana's prophecy, Takumi decides to join Corrin's army, bringing along Oboro and Hinata with him.

In this route, Oboro learns why her parents were killed and their killer in her supports with Beruka, the disciple and adoptive daughter of their killer. She also learns that Beruka already killed him as a last test. Beruka tells Oboro to kill her, then, so her desire for revenge would be quenched; instead, Oboro spares her.

Oboro subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to Anankos' machinations. If she marries Male Corrin, she will become the queen of Valla.

Personality[]

Oboro harbors a chronic hatred of Nohr, which stems from the murder of her parents by the hands of Nohrian assassins. This resulted in an involuntary tic that causes her to twist her face into a demonic visage whenever anything related to Nohr is mentioned or shown in her presence. Despite her hatred for Nohrians, Oboro is capable of controlling herself depending on circumstances; through her C support with Silas, she declines his offer to train with him, attributing her refusal to her not wanting to kill him by accident. Even when she finds out that her parents' murderer was already slain by Beruka years ago, she is still capable of reason rather than blind rage, knowing that the chain of hate always ends in tragedy. That said, Oboro is not without the sense to understand that not all Nohrians are evil, like her supports with Niles and Benny, and can clearly tell the difference enough to make civilized conversation and establish friendships and even romance with a number of them.

Oboro copes with the loss of her beloved parents through her involvement with the Hoshidan army, a fact that has led to her sharing very strong, tenacious bonds with many members of the army. In particular, she is especially attached to her liege, Takumi, having romantic feelings for him, but is too shy to admit them. When dying in Conquest, she even laments that she never revealed her feelings to him. This does not equal to her ignoring the rest of the army, however, as she is often seen taking a mother-like role to them: she can recruit Kaze's help to make sure there will is no mice their supplies, teach Rinkah to eat less messily and use proper utensils, ask Kaden for collaboration to braid silk threads into cords, check on Ryoma's health and sleeping habits, etc.

As the daughter of Hoshidan tailors, Oboro is an expert fashionista and is shown tailoring to other members of the army through her supports. Her fascination with fashion does have the tendency to be excessive to the point of being forceful, if not relentless; this fact can be observed through her supports with Saizo and Mozu, where she persists on crafting newer and flashy clothes for the two to wear despite numerous protests and having to chase them both down in the C and B-Support conversations of both people. However, she does mean well, as can be observed through a few of her Heroes quotes and in her A-Support with Mozu that she firmly believes that no matter how much people put on makeup and clothes, it is the inside that matters.

She is the fastest at changing clothes in the entire army.

Base Class Set[]

Oboro is the first and only first-generation Spear Fighter recruited in both Birthright and Revelation barring reclassing. For the most part, her stat growths are average across the board, with only her Magic and Resistance being moderately low. This makes her very reliant on her level ups to define the role that she is best suited to perform; depending on her growths, she can either act as a frontline attacker, defensive wall, or a combination of both. Oboro is one of the best defensive wall candidates in Birthright due to the lack of defensive Hoshidan classes, alongside the fact that the Naginata's that she primarily wields increases her defensive stats by 1. Her personal skill, Nohr Enmity, increases her damage by 3 if facing a Nohrian unit. This gives her attacks more sting, making her more proficient in combat in Birthright and causing her to be a dangerous foe to face in Conquest. In Revelation, Oboro is strong in the earlier chapters thanks to this skill, although after Chapter 18, the skill's usefulness decreases as the spread of Hoshidan and Nohrian class enemies even out, leaving her only strong against certain enemies.

As a Spear Fighter, Oboro can learn Seal Defense, which is great for whittling down high-Defense units like Wyvern Riders and Knights. Swap, learnt at level 10, is a decent utility skill that allows her to bring vulnerable units like Setsuna and Takumi into cover if they are exposed to too much danger on the battlefield.

As a Spear Master, Oboro does not change growth wise, and will only benefit from the increased stat caps and the ability for her to bring her Lance/Naginata prowess to its maximum. Seal Speed is one of the skills she can learn, allowing her to cripple high-Speed enemies like Samurai, Ninjas, and Sky Knights. Lancefaire, conversely, boosts her damage output with a Lance/Naginata by 5, further complementing her proficiency with these weapons. Waterwheel access can potentially turn her into a super-tank with the +5 Def/Res boost and +20 Crt/Avo if enemies become too strong for others to handle.

As a Basara, Oboro is able to wield both tomes and scrolls for more offensive flexibility. While her other stats remain much the same as when a Spear Fighter, her Magic growth remains quite low, preventing her from being able to maximize her usage of Magic. This class does have its merits, one of the most prominent being Rend Heaven, which allows her to take half of her enemy's respective offensive stat and add it to hers. If Oboro has been blessed with high Strength, she can use this skill to become an effective brawler, exploiting her enemies' strong offensive stats to her advantage. She can also learn Quixotic, which gives her 30 points to her Hit rate and increases her skill activations by 15. This skill is a double-edged sword as it also gives her enemies the same benefits as well. To maximize its benefits, having Oboro with a few offensive skills can help compromise the assistance it gives to the enemy.

Secondary Class Set[]

Oboro's secondary class is Apothecary, with the Merchant and Mechanist classes as its promotions. For the most part, Apothecary gives her more of a focus on utility with the skills that it is defined by, as they require the usage of potion items like Vulneraries and most tonics to activate. While they may initially be useful, it is best for them to be eventually swapped for other more coveted skills.

As a Merchant, Oboro regains access to Naginatas and Lances. This class' base Skill helps to give the player extra Gold Bars with Profiteer, which can be paired with Spendthrift to boost her battle proficiency.

As a Mechanist, Oboro can learn Golembane, which is not very useful due to Stoneborn and puppet-based units appearing in very sparse numbers throughout the game. She can also learn Replicate, which allows her to create a clone of herself and lend her battle prowess to two different places on the battlefield at once. While risky, as long as both the original and clone are well-maintained in terms of HP, Oboro can effectively utilize this skill in tandem with Seal Defense or Seal Speed obtainable from her primary classes, allowing her to assist her comrades in killing even the strongest bosses with ease.

Friendship Classes[]

Oboro can form A+ supports with Rinkah, Orochi, Mozu, and Beruka.

  • Rinkah: Rinkah provides her with Oni Savage and its promotions, Oni Chieftain and Basara. This ultimately veers Oboro more towards a physically defensive playstyle, dropping her Skill, Speed, Luck, and Resistance in favor of her other stats. The skills she stands to gain include Seal Resistance, which can combo with her other Seal skills to greatly weaken any foe for her allies to come in and finish off, though it doesn't serve much use for Oboro herself who generally has fairly weak Magical ability. Shove serves as an alternative to Swap, but both should not be taken at the same time, as this removes a skill slot that could be used to strengthen Oboro elsewhere. Oni Chieftain drops her HP growth in exchange for Magic and Resistance, though neither remains very stellar regardless. Oboro stands to gain Death Blow, a great offensive skill when combined with high-crit weapons, and Counter, which can support a defensive playstyle on her by reflecting taken damage back at the enemy. Blacksmith brings Oboro closer to her Spear Fighter roots, but with slightly more defensive stats. Salvage Blow does not serve any offensive purpose, but does stand to trigger an average amount depending on how her Luck has grown. Lancebreaker, meanwhile, gives her an edge against enemy Lance users.
  • Orochi: Orochi provides her with Diviner and its promotions, Basara and Onmyoji. Oboro's magical ability, despite the classes mainly magical focus, remains underwhelming at best. Magic +2 somewhat helps this matter, but is ultimately not worth keeping. Future Sight may at least help her growing in levels, but does not serve any purpose otherwise. Basara is explained in Rinkah's section above. Oboro ultimately doesn't fare too well as an Onmyoji compared to the other options for becoming one, and if wanting to go a magical route, would be better off mixing her offensive ability with some physical options. Rally Magic can at least support her more magically gifted allies, but Tomefaire is only useful if she continues using Scrolls and Tomes.
  • Mozu: Mozu provides her with Archer and its promotions, Sniper and Kinshi Knight. Archer is, growth wise, very similar to Spear Fighter, so Oboro can transition between the two without much issue. She faces heavy competition from Takumi, who, while very slightly weaker and fragile, beats her in HP and Skill, and also comes with the powerful Fujin Yumi that has no drawbacks compared to the Bows and Yumi's Oboro would have to use to match in power. Archer skills include Skill +2, which can help for a time in hitting and activating skills but falls off in use later, and Quick Draw, which provides her with +4 damage when initiating. This can pair well with other Initiation skills. As a Sniper, Oboro has a slightly higher Skill growth, but remains the same otherwise. Certain Blow should more than guarantee she lands her hits, regardless if she remains a Sniper or moves back to Spear Fighter, and lets her safely wield less accurate weapons. Bowfaire only works if she remains in a Bow-using class, but works great when she does. Kinshi Knight lowers her Defense and Strength growths greatly, but also comes with the benefit of boosted Luck, high mobility, and returning use of Lances. Air Superiority grants Oboro an advantage against flying foes, and Amaterasu gives her some ally support by recovering their HP at the beginning of each Player turn.
  • Beruka: Beruka is exclusive to Revelation and provides her with Wyvern Rider and its promotions, Wyvern Lord and Malig Knight. Like Oni Chieftan, this makes Oboro more physically defensive, but only with slight growth alterations: her HP, Skill, Speed, and Res drops a little, while her Magic and Defense are boosted, with Strength and Luck remaining the same. Oboro can get Strength +2, which as with all Stat +2 skills, can serve good early on but stands to be replaced later, and Lunge, which can help to ambush an enemy and places her within fighting distance of other enemies. Wyvern Lord is more of the same, but with a lower Magic growth in exchange for skill, and also returning usage of Lances. Rally Defense serves as a supportive skill for her allies that makes her a little similar to her capturable rival, while Swordbreaker grants Oboro an additional edge against the Swords she already had an advantage over, though also granting such to her while wielding axes. As a Malig Knight, Oboro will lose some defensive potency in favor of her lower Magic stat. Savage Blow gives her an out-of-combat damaging skill, while Trample boosts her damage to non-mounted foes.

Base Set[]

Oboro is among the first Lance Infantry units to exist in Heroes. She is a fairly tanky Book I unit with high Def, nearly on par with some Armor units at 35 for a total bulk of 75. Her offensive stats are middling at best with 32 Atk and 26 Spd and her 24 Res is okay, but hardly enough to keep her relevant as time passed due to powercreep. Her primary role is mainly to act defensively, which many skills can help to maximize this role and without the armor weakness, Oboro has the full benefits of movement without relying on skills and also being unaffected by armor slaying weapons.
Oboro's default lance was the Heavy Spear, which gave her effective damage against Armor units, solidifying her main niche as an armor counter. When the Weapon Refinery feature was introduced, she could upgrade it into a Slaying Spear for an extra 2 Mt, but her later unique spear became her ultimate armor effective weapon, mainly due to the 16 total Mt. Its refine gives her a Close Defense 3 effect, increasing her Def/Res by 6 if an melee enemy initiates combat on her, cementing her as a defensive wall.
Rally Defense allows Oboro to give an ally +4 Def if she uses the Assist feature on them. Seal Defense inflicts -7 Def on a foe she battles after combat. Threaten Resistance inflicts -5 Res on foes within two spaces of her at the start of each turn, which can help mage allies, but does very little to help Oboro herself.

Counters[]

Oboro is lacking high enough damage to threaten any sort of non-armor, thus most reasonably bulky blues and especially greens can wall out what little damage she can dish out, and as a defensive turn unit, can be baited out to take advantage of her general lack of offensive turn skills. Her Res is low enough that most mages can deal significant damage, especially the likes of Nino, Sonya, and Julia, who not only have color advantage, but also do not activate her refined lance's Close Defense effect.

Skill Inheritance[]

To maximize Oboro's defensive capabilities, Reposition will allow her to place an ally, ideally behind her, so she can take the brunt of any damage dealt to her or her allies or to put her in the way of an Armor. Bonfire takes full advantage of her high Def for some solid damage when it activates. Steady Stance further pushes her high Def to an incredible 47 (50 if it is her Asset) just from the third tier alone and without factoring in any sort of merges or dragonflowers. Because Silas carries the third tier and Reposition in his base kit, this makes him an excellent unit to sacrifice to accomplish two of her biggest missing skills. Skill B ranges depending on what fodder and seals are available as she has options between Quick Riposte to guarantee her a follow-up attack, Guard to slow down enemy's cooldown charging, which can quickly damper even the Black Knight from getting to his Black Luna special, and Null Follow-Up to ensure that her consecutive attacks go through if she can. Finally, Smoke skills are generally Oboro's best option as reducing her foe's Atk through Attack Smoke makes her far more bulky as a result or Defense Smoke softens up enemies so she can secure the final blow herself.

Base Set[]

Bridal Oboro is a seasonal Sword Infantry unit who is a solid physical dueling unit thanks to a solid 39 Atk and her physical bulk score of 82 due to a 40 Def base. While her 35 Spd is strong, it is not quite fast enough to push her to the likes of Ayra or Karla, but she nonetheless performs admirably in combat. Her main flaw is her 16 Res, for a total magical bulk score of 58. Overall, she is a serviceable unit, held mainly back from a lack of availability, but she can still be a reliable unit in a pinch if needed.
Pledged Blade grants Bridal Oboro an additional +4 Atk/Def and Special skill acceleration on attack if she has any sort of bonus on her from a visible stat increase or an effect like movement or Dominance. As such, Bridal Oboro thrives off of stat buffs or ally assistance to reap the full benefits of this weapon.
Rally Atk/Res+ allows Bridal Oboro to give an ally Atk/Res+6 as a visible buff until the next turn. Attack Defense Form grants her Atk/Def equal to the number of allies within two spaces of her x2, +1, reaching a maximum of 7 if she has three allies in range. Odd Pulse Tie causes an enemy to lose 2 points to their special if they have their special ready on the start of odd-numbered turns and their current HP, when adding one additional point, is less than or equal to her current health, which can stifle some foes from their main source of damage or make engaging on them safer.

Counters[]

Bridal Oboro's low Res means that she is crushed easily by Mages who outrange her, even by some strong enough green Mages. While she can duel Dragons, she also suffers heavy damage in return as well. Blues have the natural color advantage against her rendering her high physical bulk a little moot unless against some of the lower Atk blues while high bulk blues can shrug off most of her attacks as well.

Skill Inheritance[]

If scoring in Arena Duels is not an issue, Reposition is a better Assist skill for the positioning support. Bonfire naturally fits with Bridal Oboro's high Def as can Sol/Noontime to make her a sustain tank. Depending on how one wishes to take Bridal Oboro, she can go all out on improving her offenses, focus as a defensive unit, or even go mix phase. As such, great skills for her to inherit are Swift Sparrow, Fury, Distant Counter, Lull Attack Defense, Quick Riposte, Vantage, Special Spiral, Null Follow-Up, and most Smoke or Drive skills, all of which pairs nicely with her default weapon or even the tried-and-true Slaying Edge inheritable weapon.
