Dimitri is the leader of the [[Blue Lions]] and is one of the best units in the game. Dimitri starts with good bases and the strongest early game [[combat art]], [[Tempest Lance]], already giving him a strong lead. Dimitri will maintain this lead and likely soar ahead of most other units due to his amazing growths and his personal skill boosting his [[Exp]] growth by 20%. In addition to having the highest [[strength]] growth in the game, he also has outstanding growths in [[HP]], [[speed]], [[defense]], and [[charm]], all of which are useful and desirable stats. Due to these combined factors, you will likely find that Dimitri takes out most enemies in one round and easily survives the following enemy phase. Even in Maddening, Dimitri proves more resilient than most other units. Even when he fails to one-round the enemy, he will deal massive damage to enemies enabling others to finish the job. Upon achieving an A-rank in authority, Dimitri will gain access to both [[Battalion Vantage]] and [[Battalion Wrath]], a truly broken combo that nearly allows him to solo the game; while the traditional [[Wrath]] and [[Vantage]] abilities are tied to specific classes, require the user to be put in danger, and must be set up each map, Dimitri gains access to their battalion forms through his [[Authority]] skill level—a skill in which he has a strength and a fairly high base. Dimitri can use a low-endurance battalion to avoid threatening himself, and since battalion endurance carries over between maps, it doesn't need to be set up each map. When combined with [[Retribution (gambit)|Retribution]], Dimitri can one-shot crit an entire map of enemies while at full health with no set up required. While this does grant a significant boon to Dimitri's enemy phase, it does require reaching an A-rank in Authority, which could conflict with reaching higher levels in his non-lance skills for master classes, and it cannot be used easily in [[Reunion at Dawn|Chapter 13]], as he comes with a fully healed 120-endurance battalion. When aiming to use this build, it is ideal to bring him to an A-rank in Authority by the beginning of Chapter 8, as that is when the [[Kingdom Archers]] are unlocked at the Battalion Guild and you can start giving him Retribution. If you have completed the ''Cindered Shadows'' expansion, the [[Chalice of Beginnings]] makes a beautiful fit for Dimitri, removing his reliance on Retribution to wipe out entire armies by himself. In addition to his generally outstanding combat, Dimitri possesses the elusive and useful [[Windsweep]], unlocked with an A-rank in [[Sword]]s, allowing him to safely weaken enemies for others or break barriers on [[monster]]s towards the endgame. By realizing his Budding Talent in Riding, Dimitri gains the [[Seal Movement]] ability and a strength in Riding. Even though the utility of Seal Movement pales in comparison to using a [[gambit]] to rattle an opponent, which freezes them in place, or killing the enemy unit which prevents them from ever moving again, it is still worth it to realize his budding talent to grant him a strength in Riding.

Dimitri possesses a minor [[crests|crest]] of Blaiddyd, which grants him a 10% chance to double [[Strength|damage output]] when using a combat art at the cost of doubling consumed weapon uses. The Crest of Blaiddyd is strong but will usually prove to be massive overkill in lower difficulties against all enemies, boss monsters excluded. Moreover, its proc rate is quite low making it unreliable for killing enemies in Maddening; not to mention that its cost of doubled weapon uses can leave Dimitri in a bad situation if the combat art ends up breaking the used weapon or lowers its uses to the point that it breaks midway through the enemy phase. Since Dimitri's crest has a high chance to disastrously backfire, using combat arts with Dimitri is somewhat of a calculated risk. Fortunately, the crest of Blaiddyd also grants Dimitri an incredibly powerful combat art in [[Areadbhar]]'s exclusive art, [[Atrocity]]. In addition to granting fifteen [[might]] and twenty [[hit rate|hit]], Atrocity also deals x2 [[bonus damage]] to all enemy units. On activation, the art has a might of 68 before even factoring Dimitri's strength or battalion bonuses, meaning that Atrocity can essentially kill any enemy unit in one hit save for boss monsters with massive health bars and is yet another incredibly powerful tool in Dimitri's kit.

Since Dimitri excels so much on the frontlines, Dimitri is best off selecting a physically-oriented class. Dimitri's best promotion pathways are either [[Soldier]] to [[Cavalier]] for mount movement and [[Canto]] or [[Myrmidon]] to [[Lord]] to grind up his Authority as fast as possible to unlock Battalion Wrath and Battalion Vantage. Upon reaching the Advanced tier, Dimitri's usual best class is [[Paladin]] for high movement and [[Lancefaire]] access; [[Swordmaster]] is a viable backup option if he is facing heavy amounts of axe users who would reduce his hit rate to unacceptable levels. Dimitri's incredible stats also pair well with the [[Wyvern Lord]]'s excellent mobility and class modifiers; however, this requires unusually high investment as, due to story-related reasons, Dimitri will be unavailable for tutoring and will only develop his weapon proficiencies via combat from [[Reunion at Dawn|Chapter 13]] to [[Blood of the Eagle and Lion|Chapter 17]]. This means he misses out on four out of the eight months of time available for tutoring in Part II; thus, Dimitri's class options are somewhat more restricted than other characters unless you resort to grinding via [[auxiliary battle]]s. For this reason, master classes are somewhat difficult for Dimitri to obtain, the Wyvern Lord especially considering its demands of an A rank in [[Axe]]s and Flying, the former of which he has a weakness in and the latter of which cannot grow in combat without first obtaining a [[Wyvern Rider]] certification. As for other master classes, they generally provide little benefit over Paladin and Swordmaster, hence why they are not recommended. If you do choose a promotion different from Paladin, it is vital to start on that path early and stick with it. For instance, if you want to make Dimitri a [[Bow Knight]] start training his bow proficiency in Part I. As is the case for all physically-oriented units, a side promotion [[Archer]] to obtain [[Hit +20]] is ideal for essentially any promotion pathway. Unlike nearly all physical units, the [[Brigand]]'s famous [[Death Blow]] skill is more of a low-priority luxury for Dimitri since most of his best work is done on enemy phase.

There are five different variations of Dimitri available to ''Heroes'', all based on his storyline appearance in ''Three Houses''. The normal variation of Dimitri, based on his ''Three Houses'' Part I incarnation as an Officers Academy student, is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Cohort of the Dead]] update, and became available for summoning by players on July 22, 2019. A Brave variation of Dimitri, based on his ''Three Houses'' Part II incarnation as a [[Great Lord]], was made available on August 18, 2020 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Lack]] update. A legendary variation of Dimitri, featuring him as a [[High Lord]], was first made available to players on October 30, 2020 as the game's twenty-fifth Legendary Hero. A fallen variation of Dimitri, featuring him in his fractured mental state from the early chapters of non-Crimson Flower routes in Part II, was first made available to players on May 7, 2021 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Bound Elsewhere]] update. A summer variation of Part I Dimitri was first made available to be summoned by players on June 17, 2022 as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Summer Vacation]] update.

{{refs}}

 

On the surface, Dimitri is a chivalrous young man who is loyal to his friends and kind to his subjects. Underneath, though, he holds great bitterness over the [[Tragedy of Duscur]] four years prior his attendance to the Officers Academy, which led to the deaths of his parents and many of his soldiers. The trauma over that incident has left Dimitri with a burning desire for vengeance and a deeply hidden capacity for extreme hatred, violence, and self-loathing that he actively tries to keep suppressed. The revelation of his beloved and trusted stepsister Edelgard's actions as the Flame Emperor and her subsequent betrayal and declaration of war against the Church of Seiros start to tear away at his kind heart, and the presumed deaths of Byleth and Dedue and the five years he spends as a vagrant on all routes other than Crimson Flower reduce him to an antisocial, vengeful madman bent on killing Edelgard as painfully as possible without any regard for his own safety or responsibilities as king. On the Azure Moon route, the return of Byleth and Dedue and the death of Rodrigue snap him out of his hatred and cause him to decide to let go of his past and atone for his sins, returning him to the chivalrous man he was in his school days. He makes several attempts to reconcile with Edelgard and comes to hold the belief that his duty as a king is to protect the weak from being trampled on by the strong, a duty he holds to after uniting the continent under his reign. On the Silver Snow route, while the exact nature of his final appearance is unclear, he comes off as lamentful over the deaths of his friends and retainers under his command.<ref>{{cite|I wanted to slice [Edelgard's] throat...but I did not get the chance. I let people die, and yet...I still stand. Rodrigue, Gustave, Dedue...|Dimitri, "[[The Impregnable Fortress (Silver Snow)]]"|Three Houses}}</ref> On the Verdant Wind route, his psychosis is at its worst; he attacks Alliance forces merely for being targets of opportunity<ref>{{cite|We will step on the Empire right along with the Alliance troops. To the eternal flames with all of them!|Dimitri, "[[Blood of the Eagle and Lion/To War at Gronder (Verdant Wind)|To War at Gronder]]"|Three Houses}}</ref>, and his obsession with killing Edelgard results in his own death when he recklessly pursues her<ref>{{cite|[Dimitri] was completely different from how I remember him. He looked like a crazed demon while he was fighting. He pursued Edelgard as she retreated, but he didn't get far before he collapsed. I saw him surrounded by Imperial troops and... pierced by their spears. I'll never forget it. He deserved a better end.|[[Hilda]], "[[Blood of the Eagle and Lion|Battle Fallout]]"|Three Houses}}</ref>. On the Crimson Flower route, while he still hates Edelgard, her less unscrupulous actions during the war allow him to retain his sanity. He remains loyal to the Church, and is willing to put his life on the line for Archbishop Rhea.

 

Dimitri's attitude towards the current social system of Fódlan is moderate. He acknowledges the flaws of the overglorification of Crests and how they have ruined the lives of people like Miklan, but also notes that these customs have stood the test of time for a reason and that Crests play a critical role in defending the continent from foreign threats.<ref>{{cite|Ability cannot be measured by the possession of a Crest alone. I believe that Margrave Gautier was wrong to disinherit Miklan simply because he did not bear a Crest. Still, there is always a reason for why such customs stand the test of time. Imagine what this world would be like if no one placed any stock in Crests... Bloodlines that carry Crests would dwindle. The metaphorical blade used to oppose threats would eventually rust. This same argument has been made time and time again across the years. Both sides are at once right and wrong.|Dimitri, "[[Tower of Black Winds|Crests: The Good and the Bad (Blue Lions)]]"|Three Houses}}</ref> In ''Warriors: Three Hopes'', he expresses personal admiration for the reforms implemented in the Empire under Edelgard's reign but believes Faerghus is ill-suited for such rapid change and prioritizes stabilization and gradual growth.<ref>{{cite|We've all been informed of the rapid reformation [the Empire] has undergone. Many aspects of which I admire, I'm not ashamed to say. But an old, stubborn land like ours isn't suided for such tempestuous change. Radical new freedoms are not what the people of Faerghus need right now. They need stability. Steady improvement in their daily lives. And real, lasting change can only come from a solid foundation.|Dimitri, "[[To War! (Azure Gleam)|Deliberate and Decisive]]"|Warriors: Three Hopes}}</ref>

==Endings==

After his coronation, Dimitri spent his life reforming and ruling justly over Fódlan. He focused particularly on improving living situations for orphans and improving foreign relations. He was known for listening intently to the voices of all, and for instituting a new form of government in which the people were free to be active participants. He lived for his people and alongside them, and was thusly dubbed the Savior King.

{{DescriptionFtr}}

*As the boss in [[Field of Revenge|Crimson Flower Chapter 17]], Dimitri's map sprite depicts him with an eyepatch despite the fact that he does not lose the use of his right eye on the Crimson Flower route.

*As a [[Lord]] in Part I, the eyes on Dimitri's sprite will change color to match those of his current affiliation—blue as a player unit, red as an enemy, yellow as a third army enemy. This quirk is not present for [[Edelgard]] or [[Claude]], or even for Dimitri's Part II sprites.

*Oddly, when playing a [[New Game +]] save file, if Dimitri is set to wear his War (Part II) outfit during chapters before the timeskip, his eyepatch will be omitted, making his physical appearance similar to how he appeared on the Crimson Flower route. Similarly, wearing his Academy (Part I) outfit during chapters after the timeskip will also remove his eyepatch.

*On the Blue Lions route, despite Dimitri's drastic change in behavior and demeanor upon discovering the Flame Emperor's true identity in [[Throne of Knowledge|chapter 11]], he can still be interacted with normally while exploring the monastery during [[To War|chapter 12]], with none of his voice lines during activities, instructions, or battles being altered to reflect his mental state.

**However, in Part II, Dimitri's state of mind will negatively affect the player's interaction with him. Due to his single-minded fixation on killing Edelgard, he cannot be invited to any monastery activities, build support with any other units, be given gifts or lost items, nor can he be instructed in improving skill levels outside of combat. This will remain in effect until [[The King's Triumphant Return|chapter 18]], in which a story event will cause Dimitri to calm down and can be interacted with normally for the rest of the playthrough.

**From chapters [[Reunion at Dawn|13]] to [[Blood of the Eagle and Lion|17]], Dimitri's character portrait and model will possess eyebags, reflecting the mental stress he underwent during the five year timeskip; his voice lines in battle are also more aggressive to reflect this as well. From chapter 18 onward, the eyebags disappear, and the aggressiveness of his voice lines in battle tones down significantly, representing his mental well-being improving.

*Dimitri is the only playable character whose budding talent starts at a D rank, as opposed to everyone else who starts at an E rank.
