Plot[]
The game begins with Chrom and Lissa finding Robin passed out on the ground. They manage to revive Robin, but He/She has amnesia, and cannot remember anything of their past. They then join Chrom's vigilante force as a tactician.
Robin is Validar's child. Validar had him/her to use for the evil dragon Grima's resurrection. When the time came, Robin's mother had second thoughts, and betrayed the Grima Cult. She ran away with baby Avatar, and raised him/her. When Robin was older, Grima's arrival from the future caused the amnesia.
Robin appears in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. If the player scans the Robin amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series into the game when prompted, Robin will appear as an NPC Illusory Hero on the battlefield for one turn.
There are fourteen different variations of Robin available to Heroes, seven male and seven female.
The normal variation of male Robin was one of the characters available to be summoned by players from the game's initial launch. Female Robin was first made available on February 23, 2017, as part of the second Grand Hero Battle, which initially ran through February 27, 2017.
Robin was introduced as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Their moveset revolve around the use of both magic and sword moves. Robin's particularity as a fighter is his limited use of certain attacks. Like in the Fire Emblem series, Robin can only perform attacks a certain number of time before the weapon associated to them break. In the case of Super Smash Bros., all his specials and his sword attacks. The specials will take a certain amount of time to recharge when depleted while the Levin Sword will be replaced by a Bronze Sword that deals less damage if depleted. Robin later returned to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Robin was introduced as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Each gender has four alternate skins dedicated to them. Like every other fighters in the game, Robin has multiple trophies based on them.
Trophy Descriptions[]
Normal[]
NA (3DS): "This is the male Robin, your avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. The goal of this adventure doesn't change much because of your gender choice, but Robin's marriage options do. In Smash Bros., Robin brings powerful magic and swordplay to bear. He can exhaust his moves, but they'll be restored over time."
NA (Wii U): "This is the male Robin, an avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. The goal of that game doesn't change much because of your gender choice, but Robin's hairstyle options do. In Smash Bros., Robin brings powerful magic and swordplay to bear. He can exhaust his moves, but they'll be restored over time."
EU: "When Robin is found at the start of Fire Emblem Awakening, he (or she!) discovers that, even without his memories, he is a master tactician. In this game, his attacks are powerful, but in true Fire Emblem style, how many times his magic can be used is limited. This also applies to the thunder magic his sword is imbued with."
Alt[]
NA: "Robin's magic is powerful, but it has limited uses before needing to recharge. Thunder can be charged in stages, will become Thoron at max charge, and gains damage and speed with its charge. Arcfire creates a flame pillar, perfect for dealing with an edge-clinging foe."
EU: "Robin's magic is powerful, but in return, its uses are limited. You can charge Thunder in steps, and when it's fully charged, it turns into Thoron, increasing its speed and dealing more damage. Arcfire creates a flame pillar when it hits something. Use it on an opponent who's clinging to an edge to stop them getting back on the stage."
Robin returned as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Their biggest gameplay change from the past game is the appearance of a meter next to their portrait that allow the player to know how many charge each consumable attack has left without having to count them each time they are used. There were other changes such as Elwind being able to be angled.
Trivia[]
Although they are a created character, they have their own personality, such as their liking for bear meat and more.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, both male and female Robin use their art from Super Smash Bros. for their spirit, likely because Robin does not have art in Fire Emblem Awakening aside from their portrait.
