Jaffar: Difference between revisions

Jaffar is a pre-promoted assassin that is recruited at the end of [[Battle Before Dawn|Chapter 26E/28H]]. Due to the chaotic and somewhat random nature of the chapter, Jaffar can sometimes die before the player is able to get to him, however, usually he and Nino will be able to survive the chapter. Even for coming this late into the game, Jaffar's bases stand out for being incredibly high in almost every area, with the exception of his somewhat lower luck. Jaffar does have poor growths to offset his high bases, though his bases are good enough for him to be a strong combat unit for the rest of the game. Due to his aforementioned high stats and his A rank in swords, Jaffar makes for an excellent boss killer, especially if he is given a boost from [[Filla's Might]]. This is quite useful against the multiple bulky bosses ''The Blazing Blade'' throws at you in the last few chapters of the game. Along with that, Jaffar will typically be able to one round most generic enemies on player phase and also has unique utility being able to use lockpicks, without having weaker combat, unlike [[Matthew]] and [[Legault]]. However, Jaffar's greatest weakness is his class, Assassin: it is locked to both infantry movement and swords. This is a problem for Jaffar as ''The Blazing Blade'' features a large amount of enemies using 1-2 range weapons, against which Jaffar cannot properly retaliate. Along with this, ''The Blazing Blade'' is heavily dominated by strong mounted units like Marcus or Heath, who are able to achieve similar combat to Jaffar, while also having canto, higher movement and access to 1-2 range. Jaffar being locked to swords also weakens his strong combat as dangerous enemies, such as [[Valkyrie]]s in [[Cog of Destiny|Chapter 27E/29H]], as other playable units are able to kill them on player phase through the use of brave weapon without being helpless on enemy phase. Along with that, there are many more ways of dealing with bosses, as the game feature comparatively strong pre-promotes such as [[Harken]] or [[Hawkeye]], or through the use of spells, such as [[Luna (tome)|Luna]].

Overall, Jaffar is a strong player phase combat unit that comes for no investment and is able to kill most bosses easily, however he will likely be left behind by more experienced players due to being locked to swords and his lack of a mount.

Jaffar is playable as a [[SpotPass]] character, released in the ''Fire Emblem'' character set. Jaffar is present as an enemy in a number of [[Downloadable content in Fire Emblem Awakening|DLC]] xenologuse: [[Smash Brethren 2]] and [[Smash Brethren 3|3]], and [[Rogues & Redeemers 1]], [[Rogues & Redeemers 2|three]], and [[Rogues & Redeemers 3|3]].
