Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Reveals Four New Characters This Week

Nintendo has been drip-feeding new ally profiles for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave at a steady clip this week, and four more characters are now confirmed ahead of the game’s global Nintendo Switch 2 launch on 17 September 2026. Here’s a quick rundown of who they are and how they fight.

Lilian Tabitha — The Saramis Archer Who Bills by the Job

Revealed on 28 July, Lilian is a young archer from the Kingdom of Saramis who entered the Heroic Games under Queen Theodora’s banner. Her motivations are bluntly mercenary — money comes first, and she makes no effort to hide it even when addressing her queen. As a Bow Fighter she provides reliable long-range damage and pairs well with mounted units pushing the front line. Japanese voice duties go to Shuka Saito, a name Singapore fans will recognise from Danmachi and A Couple of Cuckoos.

Lysander Kratos — The Cavalier Knight Built to Strike First

Announced on 27 July, Lysander is a Saraminian noble whose uncle is the kingdom’s chancellor and whose father is a celebrated warrior. As a Cavalier he excels at seizing initiative: his personal Acceleration skill triggers after each kill, stacking Speed bonuses that make him progressively harder to outrun across a long battle. He represents the dependable mounted-lance archetype the series is known for, voiced in Japan by Junichi Yanagita.

Michaela Augustus — The Veteran Mercenary with a Mum’s Mission

Michaela’s reveal on 24 July brings a more grounded backstory to the roster. A former mercenary, she came to Dagsion for one reason: to earn enough prize money to fund her only daughter’s education. Her personal skill, Strong Veteran, boosts accuracy when fighting at close range — a reflection of years of real combat rather than tournament pageantry. Japanese voice: Hiromi Hirata.

Ultand — Aurora Temple’s Healer Who Can Also Hit Back

The youngest of the four, Ultand is a priestess at Aurora Temple who doubles as the tournament’s official receptionist. Her mechanical hook is a genuine hybrid role: she can deal damage and heal allies in the same engagement, and she learns holy magic with extra effectiveness against underworld-type foes. She is voiced in Japan by Konomi Inagaki.
