“ | I love Crimea, but I'm happy here. I want to serve Ike as a member of the Greil Mercenaries. Forever. | ” | — Oscar to Kieran in a support conversation |
---|
Oscar (Japanese: オスカー Oscar) is the elder brother of Boyd and Rolf and a member of the Greil Mercenaries. He was formerly a member of the Crimean Royal Knights, but left their service to take care of his brothers. He is calm and collected as the responsible older brother, but is also skilled on the battlefield.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Role
In Path of Radiance, Oscar is a mentor and supporter to the rookie Ike. He helps coach Greil's son in the beginning of the game and stays a member of the Greil Mercenaries even when Ike takes command. Oscar also sometimes prepares meals and does chores for the company alongside Mist.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Oscar is a well-rounded cavalier that is available for essentially the entire game. His base stats are enough to meaningfully contribute immediately, he uses lances so he has 1-2 range, and he has the highest defense of the early units after Titania and Gatrie. However, in earlygame, he may struggle a bit more than his good base stats suggest because of the abundance of axe users.
Due to Oscar's good balanced growths, he grows into a solid cavalier that often outclasses Titania when promoted. Thus it is highly recommended to use and train Oscar through the entire game. However, he may sometimes struggle with a key stat or two because while he has no real weaknesses, he also doesn't strictly excel at any stat. Also, because he is a cavalier, he cannot shove other units, and only a few certain units can shove him.
When promoted, Oscar benefits the most from using axes, especially because Steel Axes are E rank weapons (Other steel weapons are D rank). He benefits a lot from the extra power of axes, and does not struggle much with accuracy due to his good skill base and growth. He can also use bows if one wants to use the triangle attack with Rolf and Boyd, though it is not practical due to the required setup. Furthermore, while bows would give him effective weapons against flying units, this is heavily mitigated by 2x weapon effectiveness and his bad weapon rank limiting him to only Iron Bows.
Oscar doesn't start with any skills, meaning that he can be shaped up however the player like. In particular, he benefits from an Occult since Sol heals him, mitigating his average 35% defense growth. Because he is a Lance Knight, he only has 15 skill capacity (20 promoted), so he will not have much selection for skills.
Oscar has a earth affinity which gives him and his partners a pure avoid boost. Ike and Tanith also have earth affinities which gives up to 30 avoid at max support; however, Ike does not have a mount and Tanith joins later in the game. Kieran is likely his best partner, being another a cavalier with a wind affinity which adds extra avoid and accuracy. Janaff gives a defense and avoid boost, though supporting with him is less practical due to him joining later and being a flying laguz.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Role
In Radiant Dawn, Oscar returns as a member of the Greil Mercenaries. He is first seen helping the rest of the company rescue Lucia at the end of Part 2. When the mercenaries are hired to help the Laguz Alliance in Part 3, Oscar makes meals for not only the mercenaries, but the laguz as well.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Oscar is a paladin on Ike's team that has good all-around base stats and uses lances, giving him solid 1-2 range. He is able to contribute immediately and throughout part 3 through both utility and combat. His growths resemble those of a typical pegasus knight, having excellent skill, speed, and luck but low strength and defense. This ensures he can reliably double and hit for most of the game, but after promotion, he will often struggle with dealing damage and tanking hits. He benefits greatly from Path of Radiance transfers, since he starts with capped skill and is one point away from capping speed; this means one can more easily buff his weak strength and defense through BEXP.
Oscar's mount is usually beneficial for movement and canto, but there are a handful of chapters that hinder his mount due to ledges, swamps, and so on. In part 4, Micaiah's and Tibarn's teams have maps that especially hinder paladins, so Oscar is best left with Ike's team, which is the least harmful.
He gains C-rank bows upon promotion, letting him use Killer Bows and Steel Bows immediately, giving him solid options against flying units. He can also triangle attack with promoted Boyd and Rolf, though this is a novelty at best due to having to train and promote two other units then setting it up in combat. Outside of these situations, Oscar is better off sticking to lances.
Oscar does not start with any skills. He benefits from having Adept and/or Cancel because of his excellent speed growth. His mastery skill, Sol, will have a decent activation rate because of his excellent skill, and will help mitigate his mediocre long-term defense, especially when paired with Adept.
Oscar has an earth affinity which gives a pure avoid boost to him and his partners. Ike and Tanith are both units that share Oscar's team and also have an earth affinity, giving both partners +45 avoid at max support; however, Ike does not have a mount, and Tanith joins later in part 3. Titania also makes a good partner with her light affinity giving a defense boost, and she is a mount that can keep up with Oscar.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Role
Oscar is one of the characters added to the game in the Diabolical Bloodline update, and became available for summoning by players on September 15, 2017. Only one variation of Oscar is currently available in Heroes, based on his Path of Radiance incarnation.
