* Even without the Wing Spear, Caeda is considered one of the best characters in the game due to her high mobility and versatile moveset as explained above, plus having the second-highest natural luck stat for skill triggering. Give her Iote's Shield to negate her major weakness and she can be used to fill pretty much any role needed.

* Camilla and Minerva's dashing Strong I attack makes missions that require high kill counts an absolute cakewalk, thanks to its ''massive'' area of effect, decently fast windup, and solid damage, making it also ideal for farming materials efficiently.

* From the Shadow Dragon DLC Pack comes Caeda's Wing Spear, which holds the unique weapon passive Rampager, which is Mountslayer and Plateslayer in one skill, but it also only takes up one slot of the "slayer" category, which allows Caeda to stack a third Slayer skill for amazing enemy coverage. Combine it with the above example, and Caeda can destroy most enemies quickly and efficiently.

** One that deserves mention is the Bolster attribute. Basically it boosts the effectiveness and damage of any attribute the weapon has equipped. What makes it extremely game-breaking is that this boost extends to Effective Against weapons, meaning that the Falchions, Sol Katti, Blessed Lance, and all Bows have their innate Effective Against skill increase drastically. With this, characters can casually kill Dragons, Monsters, and flying units with ease since they effectively do double the damage, before adding anything else! If you add skills like the Breaker skills, that means a character can boost their damage even further! Throw in Luna, and one-shotting is far more possible!

** Tiki's [[ImmuneToFlinching Armored Blow]] may not seem like this at first glance (it prevents enemy attacks from stopping your own attacks, useful but at this point optional)... unless you have [[PowerAtAPrice Armor]] [[ClothingDamage Strike]], then its usefulness skyrockets.

** Another skill from the Shadow Dragon DLC is Minerva's Iote's Shield. It nullifies ALL effective damage against the user, which allows units that would be seriously crippled from the presence of a Slayer weapon to stand up to them very easily.

* Skills in general tend to be this. A combination of some skills can make even the hardest opponents look relatively tame. A combination of Awakening (boosts power while in Awakening Mode), Sol (restores your HP by a certain amount if you defeat a 'Strong' Enemy such as Fort Bosses and enemy characters) and the above mentioned Astra skill can make most bosses easy. Sol and Luna even have their effects improved as the equipped character's Luck is increased. Marth's skill, Paragon doubles the experience the user gets upon defeating enemies and Anna's (which is based off the Luck Stat) increases the amount of gold you get as you defeat enemies which while hard to get for the latter considering the requirements, can make leveling up some of the slower characters easier.

** Similarly, Linde's Crest Skill, Quick Wit, increases her Warrior and Awakening gauges whenever she lands a critical attack, regardless of if she has a weapon advantage or not. Like with Olivia's, it might not seem broken as first, but because Linde is a Mage, whose heavy attack forces out a critical hit stun gauge, it becomes extremely easy to fill up her Awakening and Warriors gauge by just using her heavy, than doing a combos to cause a critical hit. When you combine that with Olivia's Galeforce, and Lucina's Awakeking Crest Skill, you have a skill that can extend the length of Awakenings even longer!

* The ''Awakening'' DLC adds a few "Spirit" weapon attributes that don't require kills to unlock, but the most noteworthy one is Amped, which grants a straight 20% boost to all of a character's stats. Towards the endgame, this exponentially boosts characters' high-end stats ''way'' more than the basic +10/20 character skills can.

Like with Olivia's, it might not seem broken as first, but because Lindie is a Mage, whose heavy attack forces out a critical hit stun gauge, it becomes extremely easy to fill up her Awakening and Warriors gauge by just using her heavy, than doing a combos to cause a critical hit. When you combine that with Olivia's Galeforce, and Lucina's Awakeking Crest Skill, you have a skill that can extend the length of Awakenings even longer!

*** In conjunction with the above-mentioned Luna, this means that characters with insanely high luck like Anna, Caeda, and Olivia become absolute ''monsters'', especially if you pad them even further with Celica's Luck +20 skill; a Level 150 Olivia with Luck +20 has 196 Luck, which translates to a 80% damage boost from Luna, and an absurd '''''98% chance''''' for Lethality crits to proc. And that's not even taking into account pair-up bonuses that provide additional Luck, meaning Olivia can very easily reach a 100% proc chance for Lethality.

* The "Amped" Weapon Skill from the ''Awakening'' DLC doesn't require unlocking via [=KOs=] and grants a 20% boost to a character's stats, making it a significant improvement over the +5 to each stats version from the Tiki amiibo bonus weapon.

*** In conjunction with the above-mentioned Luna, this means that characters with insanely high luck like Anna, Caeda, and Olivia become absolute ''monsters'', especially if you pad them even further with Celica's Luck +20 skill; a Level 150 Olivia with Luck +20 has 196 Luck, which translates to a 80% damage boost from Luna, and an absurd '''''93% chance''''' for Lethality crits to proc.

* The All Stats+ Weapon Skill from the ''Awakening'' DLC is doesn't require unlocking via [=KOs=] and grants a 20% boost to a character's stats, making it a significant improvement over the +5 to each stats version from the Tiki amiibo bonus weapon.

* Lyn and Navarre are considered to be two of the strongest characters in the game, thanks to their incredibly fast attack speed (that can be made even ''faster'' with Astra), their Strong VI combo sucking in enemies in a large range, and very fast and damaging Warrior specials.

*** In conjunction with the above-mentioned Luna, this means that characters with insanely high luck like Anna and Caeda become absolute ''monsters'', especially if you pad them even further with Celica's Luck +20 skill; a Level 130 Anna with Luck +20 has 173 Luck, which translates to a 71% damage boost from Luna, and a '''87% chance''' for Lethality Crits to proc.
* Camilla and Minerva's dashing Strong I attack makes missions that require high kill counts an absolute cakewalk, thanks to its ''massive'' area of effect, decently fast windup, and solid damage, making it also ideal for farming materials efficiently.

* Even without the Wing Spear, Caeda is considered one of the best characters in the game due to her high mobility and versatile moveset as explained above, plus having the second-highest natural luck stat for skill triggering and ability to use staves to set her apart from her fellow Pegasus Knights. Give her Iote's Shield to negate her major weakness and she can be used to fill pretty much any role needed.

* Lyn and Navarre are considered to be one of the strongest characters in the game, thanks to their incredibly fast attack speed (that can be made even ''faster'' with Astra), their Strong VI combo sucking in enemies in a large range, and very fast and damaging Warrior specials.

** * Navarre's Lone Wolf skill can be placed on AI-controlled units and makes them become much more viable in clearing out enemy officers on their own.
* The Sky Knight/Falcon Knights (Hinoka, Cordelia and Caeda) can effectively lock an enemy into being trapped in the air by repeatedly attacking them while they are in the air for as long as you don't use a strong attack (sends enemies hit flying away from you) or a special (musou or dual as they will end up knocking your target away from you). Said aerial units have an aerial dash attack that stuns enemies who are hit and have a guard breaking combo finisher that not only stuns those who are hit but also knocks any enemy hit into the air briefly which allows them to start up attacks with more ease. If your enemy is pinned between you and a wall and gets launched into the air, it's basically a death sentence to him/her/it since no one (player/ally/other/enemy) can block attacks while in the air, you can just attack continuously until the enemy is dead or has to retreat/or call for help, this even includes other characters who aren't in super armor.

* Ryoma's Astra skill is this game's equivalent of "Hasty Attacks" from ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors''. It causes anyone who equips it to speed up their regular and strong attacks by 50% and basically trap most enemies into a stun-lock state before they can retaliate. Because it's skill-based, there is no need to attach it to a weapon and any character who isn't Ryoma can learn it after he builds a B and an A rank support with any character.
* Chrom's skill, Luna, is a very special damage-boosting skill; rather than just giving a flat bonus to your attack strength, it causes your hits to ignore a percentage of your enemy's Defense and Resistance. Its effect gets stronger the higher a character's Luck stat, with 4 points of Luck ignoring 1% Defense. Because of the way it works, your attacks do exponentially more damage the more Defense Luna lets you ignore, meaning it goes from a fairly useful skill in the early game to a ''must-have'' in the endgame, when a number of your characters have Luck stats over 100.

* Also from the ''Fates'' DLC pack is Niles' skill, Lethality. For every 1 point of Luck a character has, they get a 0.5% chance for Critical Hits to do '''quintuple damage''' to their targets. This means that high-level enemies that take up to 5 Critical Hits to defeat can potentially be destroyed instantly. The only thing keeping this skill from being busted the moment you unlock it is the fact that Niles' Luck is ''atrocious''; getting A Supports with him so you can teach it to other characters is the real barrier.
** In conjunction with the above-mentioned Luna, this means that characters with insanely high luck like Anna and Caeda become absolute ''monsters'', especially if you pad them even further with Celica's Luck +20 skill; a Level 130 Anna with Luck +20 has 173 Luck, which translates to a 71% damage boost from Luna, and a '''87% chance''' for Lethality Crits to proc.
