'''Echidna''' (Japanese: {{hover|エキドナ|Ekidona}} ''Ekhidna'') is a warrior of the [[Western Isles]], and the leader of the resistance against the colonial [[Etruria]]n occupation of the Isles. When [[Roy]] started opposing the Etrurian abuse of the people of the Isles, Echidna joined up with his army upon the request of [[Larum]], a resistance member.

===Role===
At the time Roy's army arrived at Mount Eburacum, Bishop [[Orlo]]'s soldiers had extracted from a villager the news that Echidna was in hiding in a village near the mountain's base, and launched an assault on the village to arrest her. Echidna emerged and engaged the army in battle, rather than surrendering. During the skirmish, she was approached by Larum, who had joined up with Roy's army, and was convinced by her to ally with Roy in opposing Etruria's Isles operations and beyond.

===Analysis===
{{analysis}}
Echidna joins as a pre-promoted Hero in [[The Hero of the West|Chapter&nbsp;11A]]. She appears from upper yellow house on the east side of the map on turn&nbsp;8, along with three [[Fighter]]s. These Fighters have a chance to kill her the turn they appear—on Hard Mode, she will die if each of the Fighters hits her, which there is a 5–11% chance of; on Normal Mode, there is at most a 6% chance that she will die, and it is possible the Fighters will not have the strength to kill her in one turn.
Echidna has high bases in [[speed]] and [[Skill (stat)|skill]], and the rest of her bases are decent for her join time. Unfortunately, she has low growths in every stat besides [[HP]], ensuring that her stats will quickly fall off, especially in her questionable defensive parameters. Echidna's weapon levels are fairly high, allowing her to wield powerful weapons such as [[Killer Axe]]s, [[Killing Edge]]s, and [[Wyrmslayer]]s at base; this, along with her high strength and speed, allows her to be a potent combat unit in her joining chapter and many of the following chapters, but she is held back by her long-term durability. Echidna's high base weapon levels allow her to use [[Durandal]] or [[Armads]] relatively early; her decent hit rates with these axes places her in a small niche, as most axe users suffer from either having low base axe rank preventing the use of good axes (such examples including Paladins and other Heroes on promotion) or a low base skill stat (which encompasses most other units capable of using axes at base), but other units will surpass her in the long term. If the player does wish to use her long-term nonetheless, she will want a [[Body Ring]] to allow her to use heavier axes better, and few units will compete with her for it.
====Comparison to Bartre====
Depending on the route taken after [[The Misty Isles|Chapter&nbsp;9]], one of either Echidna or Bartre may be recruited; Echidna is recruited in the north route, which is played if neither of the northernmost [[village]]s is visited or if the left one is. Bartre has higher HP, luck, defense,  and strength. While Barte has higher constitution, Echidna is consistently faster than Bartre. Echidna also has access to swords while Bartre has access to bows, both of which have their own advantages. Echidna has better overall combat and flexibility, while Bartre is better against enemy fliers and can take more punishment from enemies. Both are going to be good units for the mid-game, and both will fall off later, though Echidna is generally the better unit.
