Analysis

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

Kris is often considered the best unit in New Mystery of the Emblem. They are the only unit with perfect availability, from the first Prologue map until the endgame. Their base stats and growths vary depending on player choice in the character creation menu. Still, they will always be good, ensuring Kris remains one of the player's best units stat-wise throughout the game. Kris can excel in either physical or magical classes, entirely up to the player's preference. This versatility is one of their most significant selling points.

Some of the most common choices for Kris' first class include: Armor Knight, the durability of which helps clear early chapters, and Fighter, because of its offensive prowess letting Kris kill Prologue enemies the most efficiently. That said, they can make use of every class exceptionally well. They can be the player's first flying unit or their first mage, depending on the player's desires.

On higher difficulty levels, New Mystery of the Emblem requires intense reclassing to beat, especially in the later chapters. There are many thresholds the player units must meet to fight enemies well. As one of the most flexible units at the player's disposal, Kris is also one of the best at filling necessary niches. If the player needs a fast unit to double enemies, Kris can become a Swordmaster; if the player needs good 2-range combat, they can be reclassed into Sniper. There are countless situations when reclassing is necessary. Since Kris can excel in almost any class, they are among the most valuable units on higher difficulty levels.

It should be noted that Kris's potential increases once the player beats New Mystery on Hard Mode or above. If the player has done this in a past run, male units can reclass between classes from both male unit class sets. This arguably makes male Kris superior to female Kris since he can access more classes before and after promotion. That said, it can also be argued that female Kris compensates in other areas. Female Kris can access Pegasus Knight before promoting and can use the Lady Sword in the early game. She can also promote to Falcon Knight with the Elysian Whip.

Overall, Kris' main advantages are good base stats, excellent growth rates, and incredible flexibility. Since all three of those aspects are valuable in New Mystery of the Emblem, especially when playing on higher difficulty levels, Kris is widely considered the best unit in the game.

Trivia

Kris's unused portrait

• Kris is one of only two characters to have an item named for them in Awakening—in this case, Kris's Confect, using Kris's default name—who does not themself appear as a SpotPass or DLC character. The other character in this situation is Osian.
  • However, portraits of the male Kris do feature in the game's data alongside those of the various other SpotPass characters featured in Awakening (albeit without the brown background shared by the other portraits), possibly suggesting that he was planned to be featured, but was dropped for yet unknown reasons.
• Kris is the only main character in the series to lack a unique or semi-unique class. They are also one of only four main characters to lack a personal weapon, the others being Celica as she appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden, Robin, and Shez.
