“	Hey, what're you gettin' all sentimental on me for?	”	— Scáthach, to Lana

Scáthach (Japanese: スカサハ Skasaher), known as Ulster in Awakening, is a prince of Isaach, the cousin of Crown Prince Shannan and one of the twin children of the presumed late Princess Ayra. Born during Ayra's travels with Sigurd of Chalphy, at age two he was escorted into hiding by Oifey and his elder cousin Shannan, along with his twin sister Larcei and Sigurd's son Seliph. Seventeen years later, he was part of the beginning of Seliph's revolution against the tyranny of the Grannvale Empire.

In the gameplay of Genealogy of the Holy War, if Ayra died or was not married in the course of the first generation, Scáthach's role is filled by Dalvin, his substitute.

Biography

While scouting, Scáthach observed the approach of King Danann's Grannvale forces toward Tirnanog and reported back this news, observing that it had been discovered as the hideout of Shannan's rebellion. On Shannan's orders in lieu of his absence, he strongly advised caution until such a time as Shannan and Oifey returned, but was overruled by Larcei and Seliph's insistence, and so departed with the two and Lana to take on Grannvale.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Scáthach is a playable character in the second generation if Ayra was married and still alive at the end of Chapter 5. He is available from the start of Chapter 6.

Analysis

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

Unit performance

Scáthach is a level 1 Sword Fighter available from the beginning of the second generation. Scáthach will always inherit minor Od Holy Blood from his mother, increasing his skill and HP growth rates, as well as Astra and Nihil; additionally, he will have Follow-Up as a class skill from Sword Fighter and Forrest. In general, Scáthach will have strong combat regardless of who his father is.

Scáthach will usually have high speed and strength, and will be able to deal significant damage to, if not one-round, many enemies in Chapter 6 and in the arena. Scáthach can one-round most enemies in the game when Astra activates; Astra activates based on the user's skill, which Od blood gives a growth boost to. Scáthach will always have a sword level of A, allowing him to use every sword in the game at base except the holy weapons, such as Balmung.

Scáthach and his sister Larcei are very similar units, both unmounted sword users with good combat. They have similar stats, will always inherit the same skills, and have the same A-rank in swords. Scáthach promotes to Forrest, while Larcei promotes to the slightly better Swordmaster, gaining three points more skill and speed, equal gains in every other stat, and Adept.

Scáthach lacks a mount, which the maps in Genealogy of the Holy War strongly favor; every map is very large, and the road tiles that boost the movement of units moving across them benefit high-move cavalry more. Scáthach's lack of a mount is less severe at the start of Chapter 6, when all four initially available units—including Scáthach—are unmounted, and can gain a lead to the first castle over the first mounted units, which join on turn 3. However, later in the game when the player gains access to more mounted units—when units such as Seliph promote or such as Finn join—and Scáthach is not afforded time to gain a lead on them, Scáthach will be able to contribute less; even later in Chapter 6, the first mounted units will be able to catch up and surpass Scáthach on the way to castles after the first.

Parentage influences

There is no pairing that will significantly strengthen Scáthach at the cost of Larcei, or vice versa. Both gain Follow-Up from their class, and each will inherit the same skills and mostly the same Holy Blood bonuses. Scáthach can gain major Forseti or Bragi Holy Blood, but the pairings required to get those grant lower strength growths, and Scáthach's class does not allow him to use either associated holy weapon. On the other had, Larcei has the slight advantage of inheriting her mother's items, while Scáthach inherits his father's; a number of good fathers can use swords, but some—particularly Lex—cannot, limiting the swords Scáthach can inherit from those fathers to a mere four obtained from villages or defeating bosses; the Armorslayer in Ch2 village, the Wing Clipper in Ch3 village, Jacobi's Bolt Sword and Chagall's Silver Blade.

Lex passes down minor Nál Holy Blood, Vantage, and Paragon. Nál Holy Blood increases Scáthach's HP and defense growths, making him tougher to kill. Vantage is situationally useful in battles against large numbers of enemies, while Paragon lets Scáthach gain levels faster and promote sooner. With Paragon, Scáthach would not need the Paragon Ring and would thus have more gold available for other things, such as repairing weapons or giving gold to a lover who does need the Paragon Ring, which is particularly helpful for the experience ranking. However, Lex cannot purchase swords to pass down, and can only pass down swords gained by defeating enemies that drop them, most of whom Lex has weapon triangle disadvantage against. Lex cannot be next to Ayra without slowing down and limiting his contributions; however, he does have an event with her in Chapter 3 available from the start of the chapter that grants her the only Brave Sword available in the first generation and grants love points between the two, making the pairing easier.

Chulainn passes down minor Od Holy Blood; combined with Ayra's minor Od blood, this grants Scáthach and Larcei major Od blood, granting a greater boost to their skill and HP growths. Major Od blood also grants ★ sword level; though this is of no benefit without using a glitch that allows Balmung to appear in the armory. Both children also gain Luna, further improving their combat, though only one of Luna and Astra can activate at once. Chulainn can purchase swords up to A level to pass down to Scáthach. Chulainn has the same movement as Ayra and can easily reach the required love point threshold; additionally, Chulainn has an event in Chapter 3 available from the start which gives Ayra the Brave Sword and grants many love points between the two—this event is mutually exclusive with Lex's version of the event, so only one brave sword can be obtained and only one pair can gain the love points.

Another option is Naoise, who passes down Accost and Critical; this further improves Scáthach's combat by giving him an additional way to attack more than once and a potential increase in damage. Critical can be made redundant by passing down a sword with a kill bonus, which will grant the same effect, though Critical can activate with any weapon, not just one with a kill bonus. Jamke similarly passes down Accost, but he passes Adept instead of Critical. Larcei benefits from Jamke as a father slightly less than Scáthach, as she gains Adept upon promotion, which Scáthach does not. Additionally, the effect of the Brave Sword prevents Adept from activating, which is a situational limitation. Naoise—like Lex—is a mounted unit, and has to slow down and limit his contributions in order to pair off with Ayra; alternately, Jamke has the the same movement as Ayra and does not cost the opportunity of a stronger unit's contribution.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Scáthach, here known as "Ulster", is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Genealogy of the Holy War second-generation character set. He is also present as an enemy in the first and third installments of the Lost Bloodlines DLC series.

Personality

According to Seliph and Larcei, under most circumstances Scáthach is hot-headed and eager when it comes to battle; however, this is balanced and sometimes outweighed by his sense of duty. To this end, when both Larcei and Seliph were calling for departing to respond to the impending Grannvale assault on Tirnanog, he was uncharacteristically reluctant to allow them to just leap into battle, as Shannan had tasked him with protecting Seliph in his absence.
