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.

Appearance(s)

You're like those heroes that appear in the sagas that bards sing! You appear, help the needy, and leave as suddenly as you had come...
— Larum, on Echidna

Echidna (Japanese: エキドナ Ekhidna) is a warrior of the Western Isles, and the leader of the resistance against the colonial Etrurian 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.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

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

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Echidna joins as a pre-promoted Hero in Chapter 11A. She appears from upper yellow house on the east side of the map on turn 8, along with three Fighters. 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, 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 Axes, Killing Edges, and Wyrmslayers 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 Chapter 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 villages 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.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

Echidna is one of the characters added to the game in the Heavenly Witness update, and became available for summoning by players on November 19, 2019. Only one variation of Echidna is currently available in Heroes, based on her The Binding Blade incarnation.

Personality

Echidna is self-described as being exceptionally stubborn and determined, refusing to merely surrender and insisting on fighting on even when surrounded by Etrurian soldiers.[1] She never talks about her own history, and is single-mindedly fixated on the welfare of others, determined to do everything she can to help and protect the people of the Western Isles; she is similarly humble and struggles to respond to being praised by others.[2] She is blunt and honest, directly criticising Larum for her infamously poor cooking skills,[3] being entirely honest about her motives in seeking the help of others, and in her opinions of Gonzalez's situation regarding his appearance and ostracization.[4] During the war, she was determined to spend her time after it constructing a new village in the Isles to provide homes for all those who lost their livelihoods to the war, and actively sought as much assistance as possible from others, including Lot, Ward, Geese and Gonzalez.[5]

On the Western Isles of Elibe, there's a incredible woman they call their hero—stronger than any among them, and with a kind heart to match. Yes, it's Echidna! The Western Isles were ruled under the iron fist of a cruel lord, and villains plagued the land. To help the suffering commonfolk, Echidna led the resistance against their oppressors. When Roy eventually came to the isles, leading the army of the Lycian League, Echidna worked with him to defeat the local lord and send him packing. Nice going, Echidna! Echidna fights for the weak against their oppressors. If we can count on the Hero of the Western Isles to fight alongside the Order of Heroes, we'll be a hundredfold stronger!
