In Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave, Act 1, players have 4 main paths to choose from, including Theodora, Leda, Dietrich and Cai. Each path has unique requirements, storyline, playstyle and vibe. In this guide, with the help of our expert Mattjestic, we will discuss Theodora’s Path and provide you with recommendations on the best characters to recruit for the storyline. 

While Theodora is one of the best paths to take in the game, players can switch between playthroughs by visiting the capital hub of Dagsion. 

Make sure you check out our other path guides below.

Frontline

• Theodora will be a frontline unit with tons of stat gains in offence and defence. Theodora has high HP gain and high strength, so you should build them as a mega tank. You can reclass her into Myrmidon to gain Ravaging Arts for the crit. Then level her as a Brigand to get the highest attack possible. Archer for the additional +3 hit, and then level up auto-activities with Wing Soldier for the additional resistance. 
• Mu is a great evasion DPS unit with good stat gain. Change her into the Myrmidon class so she can get the Passive and do this using the auto-activities. Pugilist is also an option and can help her gain additional strength and dexterity.
• Tobias isn't favoured by many, but he has good HP and strength gain. His Passive also synergises well with the correct build path. He lacks speed, which is an issue for him. His low dexterity can be compensated by other characters. He excels when he gets enough attacks.

Healers

• Sofia is the go-to healer! Her passive increases her healing output, and at level 35 she can also grant +2 range. She has 45 magic, but she doesn’t have much defence. She will be enough, as the team is mage-heavy. 

Mages

• Bonaventure, Olympia, Dante and Sirocco all excel in white magic. By running both the physical and magical blessings from the Gods, you can switch depending on what you need to counter the enemies. This makes the team comp a rather powerful hybrid team.
• Bonaventure has good magic, speed and dexterity. Giving him dark magic can make him extremely strong with his Passive, and at a higher-level Passive, he can empower his allies as well. You can start him as a Shaman class and then switch to Ovate later on.
• Olympia can start as a Priest and then switch to Shaman. You can then level her with Ovate.
• Sirocco has decent magic damage growth and has good speed and dexterity. Combined with Goddesses’ Favour, this makes him a good frontline mage. Start with Myrmidon and then transition into Shamans. Level up passively by doing auto-activities.

Archers

• Nuzzuo and Lilian have good stat gain for Archers. Nuzzuo has high strength gain and high DPS capacity vs select enemies. You can level him in Archer and Rogue. If you struggle with Lilian, you can pick the Brigand Class for her with an axe for the 15 strength gain. This, with the Archer Class, is a good combo with the Crescendo Passive. The Archer Class is slightly different from the Rogue Class. If you have a lot of strength, choose Rogue; if you lack strength, choose Archer.
• If you want more Hunters or Rangers, Diego, Peter and Ultand are great hunter choices.

Backups

• Esmeralda and Goliath are strong tank options for the comp. Goliath is a strong tank, and Esmeralda has strong stat gain.
• If you need ranged units, you can choose Ludia and Halvin.
• Finally, if you need additional frontliner characters, pick Catania, Guzran, or Nezha, as they excel as swordsmen.
