“	As Lady Sakura's lead retainer, it will be my pleasure to take your orders.	”	— Hana, to Corrin

Hana (Japanese: カザハナ Kazahana) is a character in Fire Emblem Fates. She is a Samurai from Hoshido, subordinate of Sakura, and distantly related to royalty.

Biography

Best friends with Sakura ever since childhood, Hana acts as one of her personal retainers.

Birthright

Hana is first introduced in Chapter 7 as one of Sakura's retainers, the other being Subaki. They both offer to help defend Fort Jinya from a Nohrian assault commanded by Silas.

After repelling this attack, Hana joins Corrin for the rest of the story to help settle an age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr.

Conquest

Hana appears in Chapter 22, defending Fort Jinya alongside Subaki, Yukimura and Sakura from Corrin's assault. Their efforts fail, and the fort falls to Nohr. When Hans starts executing prisoners, it is mentioned that Hana, Subaki, Yukimura and Sakura were fortunately spared from Hans' wrath. It is unknown what happens to her afterwards.

Revelation

Hana appears at the end of Chapter 8, where she and Subaki follow Sakura after she leaves to join Corrin's cause. Upon catching up with her, she express disappointment at Sakura for leaving without telling her and proclaims that she will always support her in all the decisions that she makes. Hana stays with Corrin for the rest of the story to stop the real threat, Anankos.

Fire Emblem Fates

Role

Analysis

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

Hana is a samurai that joins in chapter 7 of Birthright and chapter 8 of Revelation. In Birthright she is capable of doubling some enemies at base, but not the faster ones such as fighters. On player phase she can dodge enemy counterattacks somewhat reliably thanks to her high speed and Duelist's Blow. Unfortunately, this is hampered by lance-wielding enemies being fairly common in Birthright's early game, meaning she suffers weapon triangle disadvantage and will also likely take large damage as a result due to her weak bulk. A defense pair up can be given to her to improve her survivability. In Revelation she joins with two less base strength, meaning she will be unable to do damage to even the axe-wielders she would have weapon triangle advantage against in chapter 8, meaning her contributions outside of being a speed pair up bot are minimal.

Hana has very typical myrmidon-like growths, having high growths in strength, speed and skill, but low or mediocre growths in everything else. Hana primarily uses swords and though her base D sword rank is normal for the point she joins in, somewhat comically she cannot use her own sword at base because it requires a C rank to be used. She comes with the skills Fearsome Blow and Duelist's Blow. Fearsome blow deals damage to adjacent enemies whenever defeating an enemy in a battle Hana initiated; this skill can be useful in some cases, but usually falls short outside of choke points, and will not affect enemies using pair up as they aren't considered to be adjacent to each other. Duelist's Blow is an excellent player phase skill, but sadly does not work on enemy phase, meaning it is often better to use this skill on weakened enemies. Hana can also learn the skill Vantage, but considering her low HP this skill is highly risky and situational.

Hana can choose between promoting to Swordmaster or Master of Arms. Swordmatser gives Hana bonuses in avoid and critical rate, along with giving her the skills Astra and Swordfaire making her into a much more potent combat unit. Master of Arms, on the other hand, gives Hana additional bulk and access to lances and axes. These additional weapons are mostly useless on Hana as she can only use E rank lances and axes upon promotion and she does not have the necessary bulk to use them safely nor the strength to deal significant damage with the lower ranked weapons. Master of Arms gives her the skills Seal Strength and Life and Death. Seal Strength can cripple high-attack units, and when it is used in tandem with Duelist's Blow, will grant other ally units the ability to safely finish off weakened foes. Life and Death is overly risky on a unit with poor bulk such as Hana and the additional damage is only useful for dangerous enemies such as bosses.

On the subject of reclassing, Hana can reclass into a Shrine Maiden, but because of Hana's low magic this class and its promotions are suboptimal for her.

Overall, Hana is a mediocre unit. If she is given sufficient training, she can potentially deal great damage to enemies and often one round them, but her poor bulk, the high quantity of enemies in Birthright and Revelation, the high hit rates of weapons in Fates, and lack of reliable 1-2 range make Hana's enemy phase mediocre at best. At base, her offenses are also commonplace in Birthright and she faces competition from other raw combat units such as Ryoma and Scarlet along with having no utility outside of combat.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are two different variations of Hana available to Heroes. The normal variation of Hana is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch, and is also the third of twelve characters that are part of the game's Hero Battle rotation. She was first made available via Hero Battle at 7:00 AM UTC on February 4, 2017 through 6:59 AM UTC on Feburary 5, 2017, and her Hero Battle has been available during the same time period every twelve days thereafter. A ninja-themed variation of Hana was first added to the game as part of the In the Moment update, and was made available to players in the thirty-fourth edition of the Tempest Trials+, "Ninja Novices", which initially ran from November 7, 2020 through November 17, 2020. A Valentines-themed variation of Hana was added in the A Special Gift update, and was first available to summon starting February 6, 2023.

The normal variation of Hana is one of a select few characters to have been inherently available at all five rarities, although inherent availability at five-star rarity has been limited to summoning focuses.
