Owain: Difference between revisions

|birthday=July 15th

'''Owain''' (Japanese: {{hl|ウード|Ūdo}} ''Eudes'') is a prince of [[Ylisse]] and the son of [[Lissa]], who allied with his cousin [[Lucina]] in her resistance against the fell dragon [[Grima]]. He travelled back in time along with Lucina and her allies to assist his uncle, [[Chrom]], in preventing Grima's rise to power. Some time after this, he served the kingdom of [[Nohr]] as a retainer of its prince [[Leo]] during its war with [[Hoshido]], working under the pseudonym '''Odin''' (Japanese: {{hl|オーディン|Ōdin}} ''Odin'').

Odin is a playable character in the ''Conquest'' and ''Revelation'' campaigns. At the request of [[Anankos]] he serves the Nohr royal family in hopes of locating the child of Anankos, and leading them on a path that will avert destruction. Said child is [[Corrin]], however Anankos is unable to give their name as at that moment the entire group was in peril. After accepting Anankos' request Anankos granted him with a different hair color, a new name, and [[class]].

In Nohr, Odin serves under Leo, alongside [[Niles]].

Odin is a Dark Mage that joins in Chapter 8 of ''Conquest'', and in Chapter 17 of ''Revelation''. He is a rather unconventional "jack of all trades" magic user with an unusual stat spread and balanced growth rates: he has decent, but not exceptional magic, which compounded by his below-average speed give him a less impressive damage output compared to other mages. To compensate, his high skill and luck give him reliable hit rates, and he has slightly above-average defenses. These factors turn Odin into more of an all-rounder than an archetypical glass cannon mage. This may make him seem like an overall mediocre unit; however, his access to certain skills from the Samurai class line can make him become very powerful.

His other personal traits are similarly eccentric. His personal skill, [[Aching Blood]], requires a forged weapon in order to activate, but it works well with his high skill, giving him respectable crit rates. Odin makes a surprisingly good user of [[Nosferatu]], and it will often be a straight upgrade to [[Thunder (tome)|Thunder]] for him in the early game, as his traits will mitigate its intended downsides. Its inability to double is less of a penalty as Odin is typically not fast enough to double in the first place, his bulk allows him to take good advantage of its self-sustaining powers, and his high skill, luck, and Heartseeker will typically be enough to make up for Nosferatu's lower accuracy. Combined with proper use of tonics, this can allow him to choke points rather well. Later on, he will likely want to supplement this with tomes such as [[Mjölnir]], which takes further advantage of his high crit potential. However, his critical chances will only go up to roughly 60%, which can be somewhat unreliable, but a decent low-cost build for Odin.

His access to the Samurai tree offers several unique options in regards to skills, such as [[Vantage]] and [[Life and Death]]. Swordmaster additionally maximizes his doubling ability and can perform similar high crit builds to Sorcerer, however it lacks its useful ranged capabilities, and is generally worse for Odin than his other options. As a Sorcerer, Odin can take advantage of powerful tomes like the [[Calamity Gate]] found in Ophelia's paralogue which allows him to take on Ninjas in the notorious Chapter 17.

In ''Conquest''{{'}}s early game, Odin's proficiency with Nosferatu can make him a helpful choke point holder, especially with a Wyvern Rider Elise pair-up to ferry him around and give stat boosts, allowing him to hold back the [[Oni Savage]]s of [[Unhappy Reunion|Chapter 10]] well. He can also perform well against [[Archer]]s and [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] thanks to his bulk and weapon triangle advantage; this gives him a niche in the Archer room in [[Rainbow Sage (Conquest)|Chapter 11]], as well as in holding back the reinforcements of [[Bitter Intrigue|Chapter 12]]. He can also be useful in [[Uprising|Chapter 13]], as his magic can deal significant damage to the large number of high-defense, low-resistance units in the chapter. These chapters can give him good amounts of experience, allowing him to get his promotion as early as Chapter 14. Odin's best build by far in the late-game is taking advantage of [[Vantage]] and [[Life and Death]], allowing him to reach one-shot thresholds even on lunatic mode and sweep maps. His access to [[Adventurer]] via Niles can also allow him to swap that defense bonus for a speed bonus. Without much investment via experience and reclassing for skills, Odin's Nosferatu tanking will fall off due to the increase of enemy speed, which makes it more difficult for him to tank, as well as the greater presence of Ninjas and Master Ninjas, who are fast, have particularly high resistance, as well as weapon triangle advantage against tomes.

While Odin himself is only useful if properly invested in, it may be worth using him in the short-term or long-term as he is the father of [[Ophelia]]. Her general stat spread is much more akin to a traditional mage, with impressive offensive potential, while also having similar crit-stacking abilities to her father's. [[Ultimate Power|Her paralogue]] also offers several tomes, scrolls, and items that can be valuable to either her or other mages the player may field, such as [[Leo]]; two of these, [[Calamity Gate]] and [[Horse Spirit]], cannot be acquired anywhere else in ''Conquest''. Good support options for Odin include [[Elise]] and [[Nyx]]; both will boost his magic significantly, which improves both his attack power and his self-healing with Nosferatu, while also maximizing Ophelia's own speed and magic power. Elise is Ophelia's best mother since it maximizes her magic base magic growth, and magic cap, allowing her to reach one-shotting thresholds with [[Vantage]] and [[Life and Death]] her father may struggle to reach, allowing both to be some of your best units on the enemy phase. However, supporting her with Odin can either be very easy or very challenging. If Elise is reclassed to a wyvern rider, they can build their supports faster thanks to dual strikes, and possibly get their S-support by Chapter 15; otherwise, it might be time-consuming for troubadour Elise to get an S-support with Odin. Nyx offers less, passing along [[Outlaw]], which is already available to Odin via Niles but can possibly be easier for Odin to support with.

Owain is available in ''Heroes'' as both of his identites. His Odin alias from ''Fates'' is one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. There are two different variations of his original Owain identity available to ''Heroes'', both of which are tied to his storyline appearance in ''Awakening''. The normal variation of Owain is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Brave Redux]] update, and became available for summoning by players on October 23, 2018. A Valentine's-themed variation of Owain was made available between the period of February 8, 2022 through March 8, 2022 as part of the summoning event surrounding the [[Here with Me]] update.

Owain first appears during [[Woodlands Encounter|Chapter 2: Woodlands Encounter]]. He appears in the middle of the sparring match that [[Frederick]] devised to measure the trustworthiness of [[Rowan]] and [[Lianna]]. He protects [[Lissa]] from some of her opponents after theatrically jumping down a cliff to her aid. After this Owain accompanies [[Aytolis]]'s forces, though only as an [[NPC]] unit.

==Personality and character==

Owain is a hot-blooded youth with a passion for legendary heroes and, more importantly, their legendary weapons. He almost constantly speaks in a theatrical manner, concocting extensive narratives about himself as a chosen hero cursed with an uncontrollable sword hand which thirsts for the blood of his enemies. He is aware, however, that people find this behaviour of his unusual and that his mother disapproves of doing so, which sometimes causes him to drop the act when talking to certain people.<ref>{{Cite|'''Lucina:''' But... Why are you speaking so strangely today? That is, so strangely...normal. You're typically much more, er, colorful. Making up stories and yelling and the like. Are you feeling all right?<br>'''Owain:''' Y–yeah, I'm fine. It's just... You're a princess, Lucina. I figured it wasn't exactly appropriate for addressing royals. Plus, Mom would tan my hide if she ever found out.<br>'''Lucina:''' Lissa would object to you spinning yarns for royalty?<br>'''Owain:''' Not just royalty! Anybody! She gets really upset whenever I do it. Heh, actually, I suppose most everyone does. They think I'm a bit batty.|[[Lucina]] and Owain|Awakening}}</ref>
