Skill Effect
Even Keel During even-numbered turns, user takes -4 points of magical damage
Iron Will If the enemy initiates battle, user takes -4 points of magical damage
Clarity User recovers from status debuffs twice as fast
Aggressor When user initiates battle, +7 points of damage dealt

Everything about the Dread Fighter is totally geared towards crushing all magical opposition. Even Keel and Iron Will can combine together to make a unit all but impervious to magic, and Aggressor can stack with the “-faire” skills for free +12 damage to everyone (so long as they initiate the battle), which is simply mindblowing. The Dread Fighter also has use of shurikens and daggers, one of the best weapon types in the game for debuffing enemies, to hit from afar.

Overall, the Dread Fighter is an extremely solid unit. Acquire Dread Fighter seals by completing Royal Royale using a Hoshidan royal sibling. You also get two for free if you have all three game paths of Fire Emblem: Fates .
