Tailtiu joins in Chapter 3 of ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' during the first generation. Her base level is only 3, so she needs a significant amount of experience to reach promotion. Tailtiu has [[Wrath]] innately, which guarantees critical hits when she is below 50% HP, and a [[Thoron]] tome, which has a high 20 [[might]]. Thoron is somewhat inaccurate at 70 [[hit]], but Tailtiu's base skill is very high—she has 100 hit with Thoron at base, and many enemies have low or negative [[avoid]]—and she has a high skill growth, mitigating Thoron's low hit. When Wrath is active, Tailtiu can one-shot most enemies with Thoron; at base, she has 60 [[attack (stat)|attack]] when critting, which is enough to one-shot every enemy present in Chapter 3 after she joins except the [[Warrior]]s. However, activating Wrath requires that she remain close to death; she has a high luck growth and a decent speed growth, but her base avoid is only 15 with Thoron—additionally, her durability is extremely poor, and will likely never significantly improve. | ====As a unit==== | ||

Tailtiu's combat is hampered by her lack of [[Follow-Up]], preventing her from doubling enemies. While she can kill most enemies with a critical hit, not every enemy will die to it and Tailtiu may not always be at low HP.

[[Lewyn]] is the other good magical father; he passes Major Forseti blood and the [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]] tome to Arthur. Arthur is arguably the best user of Forseti (over [[Ced]] and [[Coirpre]]), as he joins very early in the second generation and gains a mount upon promotion; Arthur will not have Follow-Up, but the Forseti blood and tome give him enough speed to activate Adept reliably, and he can use the [[Follow-Up Ring]]. However, Tine receives less benefit: minor Forseti blood allows her to use [[Tornado]] after promotion, but [[Critical (skill)|Critical]] can be redundant with Wrath and Tine already gains Adept upon promotion. Claud, while he is recruited with Tailtiu and is magic-oriented, does not make a good father for either child. Claud cannot pass his staves to either child, as Arthur cannot use staves and Tine only gains access to them on promotion; the additional staff rank from Bragi blood will give Tine access to [[Rescue (staff)|Rescue]] and [[Fortify]], but she is not the best user of either. Claud also passes no skills to the children, which hinders their potential even further. | |||

“ | Look, all that fightin' stuff's beyond me. | ” | — Tailtiu, on her father's actions |
---|
Tailtiu (pronounced /ˈtɑltju/[key][2]; Japanese: ティルテュ Tailto) was the middle child of Duke Reptor of the Friege dukedom of Grannvale. Uninterested in her father's avaricious schemes and opposition to the Chalphy family, she accompanied Duke Claud of Edda to Agustria as a bodyguard, and with him joined the army of Sigurd of Chalphy in fighting the Orgahil pirates, in exile to Silesse and in their ill-fated march on Grannvale to clear Sigurd's name.
Biography
Six months into Sigurd's occupation of Agustria, Tailtiu accompanied Claud to Agustria to confer with Sigurd, where she expressed her disinterest in her father's behavior. She then followed Claud to Bragi Tower, and the two emerged from it after Sigurd defeated Chagall at Sylvale Castle. With the Orgahil pirates running rampant in the area, she protected Claud until the two could return to Sigurd's group.
Tailtiu survived the Battle of Belhalla, after which she fled to Silesse with her children, Arthur and Tine. Though she successfully spent years in hiding there, she and Tine were eventually discovered and captured by her brother Bloom, leaving Arthur behind[3]; Tailtiu and Tine were imprisoned and subjected to the care of Bloom's wife Hilda, whose years of constant abuse resulted in Tailtiu's death.[4][5]
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Role
Tailtiu is a playable character during the first generation. In Chapter 3, she, along with Claud, appear as player units next to the Bragi Tower after Sylvale has been seized. She is available up until the end of Chapter 5.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
As a unit
Tailtiu joins in Chapter 3 of Genealogy of the Holy War during the first generation. Her base level is only 3, so she needs a significant amount of experience to reach promotion. Tailtiu has Wrath innately, which guarantees critical hits when she is below 50% HP, and a Thoron tome, which has a high 20 might. Thoron is somewhat inaccurate at 70 hit, but Tailtiu's base skill is very high—she has 100 hit with Thoron at base, and many enemies have low or negative avoid—and she has a high skill growth, mitigating Thoron's low hit. When Wrath is active, Tailtiu can one-shot most enemies with Thoron; at base, she has 60 attack when critting, which is enough to one-shot every enemy present in Chapter 3 after she joins except the Warriors. However, activating Wrath requires that she remain close to death; she has a high luck growth and a decent speed growth, but her base avoid is only 15 with Thoron—additionally, her durability is extremely poor, and will likely never significantly improve.
Tailtiu is permanently restricted to foot movement, limiting her range and usefulness. Without a mount, a player would have to restrain their mounted units considerably for Tailtiu to contribute on the battlefield or give her the Leg Ring—a highly valuable and competitive item. In combat, Tailtiu can provide significant damage against the mostly low-resistance foes. Tailtiu can gain up to six level-ups by rescuing villagers in Chapter 4, as most of the player's other units may not need as many levels at that point. Tailtiu can also gain a lot of experience when she joins, as she does so alongside Claud (who can heal her) and surrounded by enemy pirates; the only other unit near Tailtiu who can fight the pirates is Brigid—Brigid is already promoted, in less need of experience, and cannot retaliate against all of the pirates on enemy phase, but is significantly more durable than Tailtiu (Tailtiu dies after two hits from the weakest of the pirates, whereas Brigid dies in four from the strongest).
Tailtiu's combat is hampered by her lack of Follow-Up, preventing her from doubling enemies. While she can kill most enemies with a critical hit, not every enemy will die to it and Tailtiu may not always be at low HP. She does gain Adept upon promotion to War Mage, but it is not a reliable replacement for Follow-Up. Additionally, Tailtiu suffers from weapon triangle disadvantage against the wind mages throughout Chapter 4 as she can only use thunder tomes before promotion.
Tailtiu's promotion gives her some statistical bonuses—including a point of movement—and access to staves, magic types other than thunder, and swords. Tailtiu can use the magical swords, but her strength is low and she is frail, limiting her ability to fight most enemies at 1-range with them.
As a mother
As a mother, Tailtiu's two magical children can vary drastically in quality. Azelle provides the most straightforward boost to both Arthur and Tine, granting both children Follow-Up and minor Fjalar blood. Combined with Tailtiu's minor Thrud blood, Arthur and Tine will have very solid magic, skill, luck, and speed on top of improved Fire and Thunder ranks. Lewyn is the other good magical father; he passes Major Forseti blood and the Forseti tome to Arthur. Arthur is arguably the best user of Forseti (over Ced and Coirpre), as he joins very early in the second generation and gains a mount upon promotion; Arthur will not have Follow-Up, but the Forseti blood and tome give him enough speed to activate Adept reliably, and he can use the Follow-Up Ring. However, Tine receives less benefit: minor Forseti blood allows her to use Tornado after promotion, but Critical can be redundant with Wrath and Tine already gains Adept upon promotion. Claud, while he is recruited with Tailtiu and is magic-oriented, does not make a good father for either child. Claud cannot pass his staves to either child, as Arthur cannot use staves and Tine only gains access to them on promotion; the additional staff rank from Bragi blood will give Tine access to Rescue and Fortify, but she is not the best user of either. Claud also passes no skills to the children, which hinders their potential even further.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Two versions of Tailtiu are present in Heroes. The normal version of Tailtiu is one of the characters added to the game in the World of Holy War update, and became available for summoning by players on October 16, 2017. A teatime-themed version of Tailtiue was added in the Invitation to Tea update, and was first available through a Tempest Trials+ on August 8, 2023.
Although initially available exclusively at five-star rarity when initially added to the game and added to the four-star summoning pool after the end of her initial New Heroes summoning event, a three-star variation of Tailtiu was distributed to players who cleared her themed Four Heroes event map; a rarity pool shake-up on April 5, 2019 made Tailtiu available in three-star rarity via normal summoning.

Personality
Prior to her incarceration, Tailtiu was upbeat, flighty, loud-mouthed, slightly short-tempered and blunt, willing to express her opinion on matters without caring for tact, particularly when bored.[6] Despite her exterior, she was easily concerned about the opinions others held about her, particularly in the context of her father's status as the nemesis of her allies in Sigurd's army.[7] She and Azelle of Velthomer were close friends since their childhood.[8]

Today I'll introduce you to Tailtiu, a mage from Jugdral! The first thing you might notice about her is her cheerful, wide-eyed disposition, but she's also a descendent[sic] of the legendary crusader Thrud! | A lady of the Kingdom of Grannvale's esteemed House Friege, Tailtiu was brought up in high society. But she isn't at all constrained by her noble upbringing—she's friendly, open, and outgoing, and she happily mingles with people from all walks of life. | One day, when her friend Claud of House Edda set out on a journey, Tailtiu accompanied him to serve as his bodyguard. | But during their travels, Tailtiu was swept up by the war in Jugdral, and even found herself opposing her own family. Still, she fought with all her heart for the friends and allies she loved. | ||||||
