Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest & Birthright (PCs)

[Dark Holy Elf]

Fire Emblem: Fates is a SRPG for the 3DS, and is the fourteenth game in a series you may have heard of. It's outstanding, play it.

The game is divided into three routes, which essentially function as separate games: Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation. Unless one buys the special edition which includes all three routes, players begin with access to either Birthright or Conquest, and then can download the others for about half the price of a standard 3DS game. The routes branch out from the shared first five chapters, and feature different plot, different maps, and largely different PCs. They will be treated separately in this thread.

All the PCs from both Conquest and Birthright are included here; each path has its own post. As Revelation only has one unique PC and in any case is essentially a strictly DLC (or limited edition) route, I probably won't bother with that one.

The game has some new and updated mechanics which you may wish to read about first; the DL-pertinent ones are noted here. Not included is any information on the new Dual Strike and Pair Up systems (which are neat as heck, but only function when you have multiple PCs).

Basic formulas

Atk = Str/Mag + weapon might + weapon rank bonus
Damage = Atk - Def/Res

Hit = (Skl*3 + Luck) / 2 + weapon hit + weapon rank bonus
Avo = (Spd*3 + Luck) / 2
Accuracy = Hit - Avo

Important: Fire Emblem Fates uses a new system to calculate true hit from displayed accuracy. Work is currently underway to determine what it is, but it's all but confirmed that it's some sort of "compromise" between the 2 RN system used by many recent games in the series and more straightforward 1 RN system. So you can still expect accuracy to be closer than 100 than displayed (for values above 50), but not by as much as previous games. One theory is that true hit is based on taking two random numbers A and B, and seeing if (3A + B) / 4 is below the displayed accuracy (if it is, the attack hits). For now, this stat topic will only list displayed hit.

For pure status attacks (staves), the formula is instead as follows:
Hit = Mag + Skl + Base staff hit rate + staff rank bonus
Avo = (Res*3 + Luck) / 2
Accuracy = Hit - Avo
(Note that Res is far less potent than it used to be for warding off status, compared to GBA/Tellius.)

Crit = (Skl - 4) / 2
Dodge = Luck / 2
Critical% = Crit - Dodge
(The formulas for Crit and Dodge are changed from Awakening.)

Note that classes and weapons may modify any of Hit, Avo, Crit, and Dodge. These modifications will be listed on the weapons and classes in question. Skills may modify any of those, as well as damage dealt and received.

Weapon rank bonuses to Atk and Hit are as follows:
For swords and daggers: +1 Atk at C, +2 Atk at B, +3 Atk at A, +4 Atk/+5 Hit at S
For axes: +5 Hit at C, +10 Hit at B, +1 Atk/+10 Hit at A, +2 Atk/+15 Hit at S
For staves: +1 healing at C, +1 healing/+5 Hit at B, +2 healing/+5 Hit at A, +3 healing/+10 Hit at S
Everything else: +1 Atk at C, +1 Atk/+5 Hit at B, +2 Atk/+5 Hit at A, +3 Atk/+10 Hit at S

The weapon triangle has been modified:
Swords and Tomes > Axes and Bows > Lances and Daggers > Swords and Tomes

Weapon triangle advantage nullifies the opponent's weapon rank bonuses to Atk and Hit, and also has the following effects, depending on the weapon rank of the unit with advantage:
D: +5 Hit, +5 Avo
C: +10 Hit, +10 Avo
B: +10 Hit, +10 Avo, +1 damage dealt, -1 damage received
A: +15 Hit, +15 Avo, +1 damage dealt, -1 damage received
S: +20 Hit, +20 Avo, +2 damage dealt, -2 damage received
If using a weapon which reverses the weapon triangle, the effects are doubled.

If the opponent isn't from a game with the weapon triangle you may wish to half these effects, blah blah blah, same as any other FE.


Equipment and Forging

In Fire Emblem Fates, equipment no longer breaks. Forging is back, but works differently (yet again!). To forge weapons, you combine two identical weapons into a single, slightly stronger version. For instance, you can combine two Iron Swords to create an Iron Sword +1, and you can combine two Iron Swords +1 to create an Iron Sword +2 (requires a total of 4 Iron Swords). The single act of forging a +N weapon requires N gems, which are gained over time through a combination of castle features. Each weapon type requires its own type of gem.

Forged weapons have bonuses over the base weapon as follows:
+1 weapon = +2 atk (requires 2 base weapons, 1 gem total)
+2 weapon = +4 atk, +2 hit (requires 4 base weapons, 4 gems total)
+3 weapon = +6 atk, +4 hit, +1 crit (requires 8 base weapons, 11 gems total)
+4 weapon = +8 atk, +6 hit, +3 crit (requires 16 base weapons, 26 gems total)

(Note: weapons which can not critical get their crit bonus applied to hit instead.)

It's possible to go beyond +4, but at that point the returns diminish (in particular, the atk bonus only increases by a further +1 per stage) and the costs get completely exorbitant. The maximum is +7.

In this stat topic, I will list a number of weapons assumed to be +2 or +1. To calculate weaker versions of these weapons, you remove 2 atk per stage, and 2 hit except for the change between base and +1. Calculating stronger versions is basically the reverse, of course.


Skills

Each character has a personal skill, which is unique to them. This skill is permanently set.

Otherwise, the skills each character has is based on gaining levels in classes. In general, characters gain skills at Levels 1 and 10 in unpromoted classes, and 5 and 15 in promoted ones. If a character changes classes, then he or she will gain one skill associated that with that class or its unpromoted version with every level he or she gains, starting with the lowest-levelled skill he or she doesn't yet know, until he or she has all the skills he or she is "supposed" to by that level.

A character can only set a maximum of 5 class skills. If he or she gains a sixth, he or she must unequip one (they can be swapped between fights). The personal skill does not count towards this maximum and is always equipped. Nobody has more than 5 DL-relevant class skills, so this isn't really an issue.


Debuffs

A major new feature of Fates' gameplay is the ability to lower the stats of your enemies (and yourself!). For instance, hitting an enemy with a Silver Dagger lowers their Speed, Defence, and Resist by 4. Using a silver weapon in combat lowers the user's Strength and Skill by 2 after the combat ends.

All debuffs recover by 1 point in each affected stat at the start of the phase of the character affected.

Debuffs do not stack, but they do overlap. If two effects of the same stat are applied, the higher effect to that stat takes precedence. For instance, if a character currently has -2 Str and -6 Def and is hit by a Steel Dagger, which inflicts -3 Str, -4 Def, and -4 Res, their new debuff effects will be: -3 Str, -6 Def, -4 Res.

The exception to the above rule is that self-inflicted debuffs do stack. Attacking with a Silver weapon will add a -2 debuff to whatever existing effect was already present. For instance, if a character attacks an enemy who does not counter once each turn with a Silver weapon, they will lower their Str/Skl by 2 after the first attack, recover to -1 at the start of their next turn, then lower their stats to -3 after attacking on the second turn.

There are a few other weapons which debuff their user by cutting the relevant offensive stat in half after use, but these aren't DL-relevant.


New terms

Fates' skill system tinkers much more heavilly with the battle system, and also uses some new terms to describe some old mechanics. Here's what you need to know:

"Followup attack": This is what the DL typically refers to as doubling. If your speed is 5 more than your opponent's, you get an extra strike, after the initial attack and counter have resolved.
"Followup attack speed +/-X": This means that your speed is treated as +/-X for the purpose of deciding if you get a followup attack. For instance, steel weapons mean have "followup attack speed -3" which means that your speed is considered 3 loewr for the purpose of doubling (i.e. your actual speed needs to beat the opponent's by 8). Hand Axes have "enemy followup attack speed +5" which means that enemies only need to match your speed to double you!
"Battle": This does not refer to the entire battle in the traditional sense, simply to an exchange of attack and optional counterattack. The few multitarget attacks in the game (ballistas, for instance) are not considered battles, and nor are pure status attacks (staves), so you might not want to consider other multiarget or pure status attacks such, either.
"After a battle, X occurs": Some skills activate only after the battle is completed. These occur after ANY battle, whether or not the character with the skill hit the enemy, or even attacked, except where noted. However, the major exception is that if a character is killed in the battle, their skills will not activate. (This is crucial to dealing with some enemy skills in-game.) Skills which deal extra damage after a battle will never be fatal, leaving those affected with at least 1 HP.
"Weapon can not trigger skills": Some weapons can't trigger skills. This refers only to skills which activate on attacks with a percent chance, such as Sol and Luna. Other skills still activate normally.



Assumptions

Most of these are attempts to compromise the views put forward in the discussion thread for this stat topic, found here. If you have any thoughts to add to the discussion, please post there.

-The following enemy stats are assumed:
Conquest: 25 Def, 21 Res, 135 Hit, 40 Avo, 5 Dodge. These are based on Conquest Hard, Chapters 26-27, with some rounding for Hit/Avo. If you're curious, the average Speed is 24 (with a spread of 12-37), though that won't be used directly in this topic. The Hit is juiced about 5 points from the actual average due to placing a heavier emphasis on bosses.
Birthright: 24 Def, 19 Res, 130 Hit, 40 Avo, 5 Dodge. These are from Birthright Hard, Chapter 27 (26 is... kind of a plot fight). Average speed is 21, with a spread of 11 to 30. Same caveat applies about Hit.

-Physical and magical durability are calculated against an attack which does 60% to average. Yes, this is high! It is that high in-game (at least on Hard)! Going lower causes Benny's pdur to shoot up to near invincible, if you're curious. Both this point and the previous may be amended when I have a chance to look over Birthright's figures.

-All stats and damage are rounded to 1 decimal place, with derived stats rounded to the nearest integer. If you want to round further, feel free.

-No children PCs are listed, for now. Maybe in the future!

-Conquest and Birthright are treated as separate game experiences, with separate averages and legal equipment.

-Endgame level is 20/15, or the level at which the character gains an equivalent amount of Exp per kill. Characters who have non-standard levels due to this will be noted.

-Characters must remain on their primary class tree. They may choose either promotion, if initially unpromoted. If initially promoted, they may change to the other promoted class on the same class tree, if they wish.

-At the moment, no character is treated as using two seals. The main characters who might want to are characters who gain a useful skill at 20/15 itself, but allowing this is questionable.

-The only weapons listed in this stat topic are ones that costs 4000 gold at most, from the primary armoury and vendor of the respective route. If you allow other weapons, consult the effects of forging, above. You may wish to apply a budget limit to characters, the costs of equipment will be listed so you can do this.

-Additionally, weapons are only treated as legal if
(a) they are infinitely storebought
(b) they are storebought in large numbers, such as the Javelin and Hand Axe (10 can be bought per playthrough, not counting any gained from other means). These weapons are limited to +1 forges, though, as it isn't reasonable to get enough +2's to outfit the PCs who might want them on a team.
(c) they are weapons of use only to a very small number of PCs, such as Nosferatu and magical versions of physical weapons. These exist on questionable grounds and you may not wish to allow them; they are marked with a star.

Killer and Brave weapons are not considered, as there generally aren't enough to go around. The case is better for weapon types which have fewer characters that can use them (namely bows on Conquest and clubs/axes in Birthright), particularly for Shura's Killer Bow and Scarlet's Killer Axe (initial equipment on both), but making an exception for one weapon group like that rubs me the wrong way.

There is also a single Beaststone+ in the game and a single Dragonstone+, and two potential users of each (however, one is a child in both cases). On the Birthright route, there is additionally only one Beastrune. Again, these weapons will be marked with a star.

-PCs are assumed to have an A rank in their primary weapon (or the maximum allowed by their class, if lower), and C in any other weapon types.

**All weapons which are listed as "debuffs self after battle" have the following effect: after any battle in which they successfully hit an enemy, the user's Str and Skl are debuffed by -2, stacking with any previous debuffs. In the case of Ragnarok, Rabbit Spirit, and Dragonstone+, Mag is debuffed instead of Str. The number of hits does not matter, only that there is at least one (so units who double don't get debuffed any faster).

Characters (Conquest)

Some notes before we dive in:
-Not all weapons are listed. You can check the list earlier in the thread to see other options, and extrapolate from there.
-All skills are listed, but only DL-relevant skills will have descrptions here. Check out Serenes Forest for the rest. Stat-boosting skills (e.g. HP+5) are already factored into the character's listed stats.
-Weapons marked with a star are on at least somewhat shaky grounds in terms of legality. You should consider them case-by-case and decide which ones you will allow. They will never be treated as default for averages.
-If a character is using a silver weapon (or Ragnarok) as his or her default, his or her contribution to the damage average is reduced by 1 and Hit by 1.5, to reflect the three-turn stat decay if the PC attacks with the weapon each turn and counters are not involved.

19% Avo (-5 with steel), 1.21 PDur, 1.27 MDur

Skills: Perspicacious, Potent Potion, Quick Salve, Golembane, Replicate

-Yukimura's weapon might is doubled against inorganic opponents or those riding inorganic mounts (+10 with Silver Shuriken, +16 with Silver Yumi, less with other weapons by an amount equal to the difference in listed damage)

Silver Shuriken: 15.8 physical, 103% hit, 9% crit; Str/Skl -2 after battle; target Spd/Def/Res -4

Silver Yumi: 19.8 physical, 93% hit, 9% crit; Str/Skl -2 after battle
Iron Yumi +2: 16.8 physical, 95% hit, 9% crit

Item use: Because of Yukimura's skills which make him better at using items, you might consider allowing him to use them in the DL. I'd lean towards not, but YMMV. Vulneraries comes in packs of 3, cost 300 gold, and restore 15 HP with Potent Potion; Concoctions come in packs of 2, cost 600, and restore 30.

Replicate: As an action, Yukimura can, once per map, create a clone of himself in an adjacent square. Next turn, both Yukimura and the clone may take actions. The clone shares all stats and inventory with Yukimura, including current HP. This means, of course, that if either dies, so does the other. Multitarget attacks do damage twice. Whichever weapon one has equipped will also be equipped on the other. Allows Dual strikes and Pairup.

Dual strike: If Yukimura or his clone attacks or counters while the other is adjacent (reminder: they start this way), the primary attacker gets +10 hit for that attack and the other will attack immediately after the primary attacker, dealing one half damage. The secondary attacker does not attack after the primary attacker's followup attacks and does not get any followup attacks of his own.

Pairup: As an action, either Yukimura or his clone can "pair up" with the other. The resulting single character has +2 Str/Skl/Def/Res (i.e. +2 damage, +3 hit, +1 crit, and roughly +0.13 PDur, +0.15 MDur), as well as +5 dodge, but can only take one turn and loses the option of dual strikes. Every time Yukimura attacks or is attacked (within a battle), he gains 20% of a "dual guard" gauge. Once full, the next attack against Yukimura automatically misses; the gauge empties when this occurs. This stance can be ended by choosing the "Separate" action but this leaves the two without any further actions that round.

Note: For every point of Str/Mag his enemy is debuffed, Yukimura's durability rises by approximately 0.06/0.07.

Children characters (Conquest)

Compared to Awakening, the child characters of Fates vary far less. In particular, their parents' stats has only a very small effect on their base stats, a couple points at most. Here are the assumptions I made, but they shouldn't swing much in other directions if you make others:

-All children are recruited prior to Chapter 19 at 20/2 with parents who are also 20/2 (20/4 in the case of Corrin and Leo, 21 in the case of Jakob and Azura). Why this level? Because it's the earliest you can recruit them and still get an Offspring Seal, which saves you the cost of promoting them.
-If their fixed parent's base stats at that level are 4 or more points higher than the child's base stats at that level, the child's stats are modified upwards accordingly.
-Child growths are calculated by using an average of all parent possibilities for the non-fixed parent. This is an average of possible mothers (including Corrin) for most children, an average of possible fathers (including Corrin) for Shigure, and an average of all of the previous for Kana. I realised after the fact that I excluded the "Corrinsexuals" and generation 2 characters for Kana's growths, but it shouldn't make a notable difference.
-For simplicity I've assumed that children use no seals beside their offspring seal (or master seal if they were recruited prior to 20/2).
-Child weapon ranks are taken as B primary, C secondary. This is slightly lower than first-generation characters, but justified: child characters have D ranks at base (at a point in the game where most other new recruits would have C) and generally continue to have lower weapon ranks than the first generation whenever they are recruited. In particular, in my three files I never hit A with a single child PC's weapon rank. Even if you recruit a child at the very last map, B/C are the ranks the game assigns them then. This mostly just matters for 1 point of attack (since there are no DL-legal A rank weapons), but hey.

For reference, here is a list of stat boosts above base that children gain from their fixed parent under these assumptions, along with the skill their fixed parent passes down to them if it's one they don't get anyway:

Kana: +1 Str
Shigure: +1 Skl, +1 Spd, +1 Luck [Luck+4]
Dwyer: +! Skl, +1 Luck
Sophie: +1 Def
Midori: +2 Spd, +2 Res [Poison Strike]
Siegbert: +1 HP, +1 Def
Forrest: None [Heartseeker]
Ignatius: None
Velouria: +1 HP
Percy: +1 HP, +1 Str [HP+5]
Ophelia: +1 Str, +1 Skl, +1 Def
Soleil: +1 HP, +1 Skl, +1 Luck
Nina: +1 Spd

Two questions, one major and one minor:

* Are Corrin's stats taken with a specific boon/bane factored in or this is a hypothetical neutral build?

* Nosferatu is bolded on the three Sorcs currently. Does mean that is what they're using for the damage average?

[Dark Holy Elf]

Corrin's Neutral. I will add different Corrins if people express interest and wish to figure out a build.

I had assumed Nosferatu as default because I figured most people would allow it but I could be argued on that one, I realised I did contradict my own notes that said starred weapons wouldn't be the default. I am revealing my own biases about which starred weapons I allow and which I don't, clearly! (The change would be only a small effect on the averages, but it's an existant one, so I will calc it if people wish.)

[hinode]

I'm pretty sure +Speed is Corrin's best DL build by a pretty large margin, since it lets them double a large chunk of the DL turn 1 that wouldn't otherwise be possible. -Luck is probably the safest bane, although I could see a case for -Magic as well. Either way the extra speed makes a significant practical difference, considering where Corrin lies in the speed curve with a neutral build.

I'm leaning pretty strongly against Nosferatu right now, but even if I allow it I'd use use Brynhildr/Ragnarok for averages instead. This particular cast is large enough that it makes little difference in practice, but in principle it's flat out cheating the averages, unless you force the Sorcs to use Nosferatu in situations where other tomes would be beneficial. I'm sure the entire FFT cast would enjoy it if their damage average was calculated with Night Sword instead of Holy Explosion, but AFAIK nobody does that!

[Dark Holy Elf]

Well it's a bit different in FE than FFT, because Nosferatu being equipped has an effect on turns besides yours. That said it's pretty understandable not to want to essentially reward the cast for having counters. I'll also note that Nosferatu was the assumed equipped tome in the GBA FEs despite not being the overall best if we ignore the draining in those games, either (well, 7-8 for sure, it might be the best default in 6 anyway because Nosferatu6 is broken).

For now, you can just add... exactly 0.33 to the listed damage average (0.825 to the kill point). That's probably less than factoring in accuracy would lower it, though, should you do that.

[SnowFire]

Awesome work!

Nosferatu is indeed the raw best for damage in FE6, FWIW, out of the mighty draw of legal dark magic of it vs. Flux (vs. Eclipse for those with it as a starting item?!).  Flux is +1 AS which isn't enough to care.  For FE8, pretty sure I assumed Thunder (Ewan) or Flux (Knoll) for the damage average, although I can see the argument that lowering the AS average is accurate to how the cast actually fights; dunno what was assumed in Elf / Pyro / Dhyer's topics for the damage / AS average there.

For whatever it's worth, strictly from an in-game perspective, if we ignore heart seals, there's also the fact that Nyx / Odin might promote differently in-game, which renders there more Nosferatus to go around, along with sneaky other ways to get more like the lottery.  That said I'd be more willing to be harsh on Leo since if we include potential heart seal use, more characters than just Leo (in-game, not via Elf's "no leaving your main class" rule) can jump over to Sorc, so there is more potential contention.  OTOH this is including characters that have no business doing so (e.g. Sorc Flora).  I dunno.

[hinode]

Nosferatu is at least stronger than Flux in the GBA games, so it's increasing the damage average very slightly while lowering the speed average a bit more. Also Luna and Forblaze exist muddle things a bit more in FE7.

This particular version of Nos is literally worse in every single way statistically compared to a Thunder+2 (hell, a Thunder+1) which makes the feeling of average cheating more galling.

Put it another way, I'm okay with stat averages not using ruthlessly min-maxed equip setups (i.e. Silver Lance Falcon Knights in some of the older FE stat topics) so long as they're optimal by at least one meaningful in-game metric, since the stat averages don't have actual opponents to min-max against. On the other hand, I'm not okay with using a strictly inferior equips for the averages because it drains or has elemental resists or something like that while still having the option to switch to better statted equips without penalty. That feels like flat out cheating the averages to me.

[Random Consonant]

Average threat range for Conquest PCs so I don't have to calc this in the future once super forces people to consider Gunter vs. Paula: 7.89.  Well that's something Gunter has on Frederick at least.

[Dark Holy Elf]

hinode: Yeah, I'm convinced. Ragnarok is now set as default for all three, the averages for damage and hit have been updated accordingly.

I also added the post-accuracy average. It actually made more of a difference than I expected... still not that large though. Use them as you choose.

And added Random's threat range average too; thanks for that.

[Random Consonant]

Re: Boon/Bane talk, while I agree that +Spd/-Lck is probably the best as it was with Awakening, +Mag does provide a considerable boost to Dragonstone/Levin Sword damage while still boosting speed slightly.  Since 1) Draconic Hex means Corrin doubles average after it kicks in anyways and 2) she doesn't one-round average durability without Draconic Hex in play, I do feel that it's not completely clear cut since doubling interps vary (though as I said I'd probably pick +Spd anyways).

Meanwhile I'm not sure how you'd make a case for -Mag, at least for Conquest, seeing as how -Res impacts the same stats and likely has less overall impact since she still shouldn't get 2HKO'd by average magic damage.

The only other bane I'd even remotely suggest is -Def, as the hit there, while less than ideal, seems surviveable.  Similarly Str seems to be the only other boon worth mentioning since it gives her a physical 2HKO.

[hinode]

I haven't run the math on how much of a boost +magic is, but my kneejerk is that Dragonstone damage doesn't really look salvagable to me unless you allow Corrin the + version. Levin Sword damage isn't that great either unless Corrin doubles, but in fairness that'll actually happen a lot with a +speed build, so -magic is actually a worse idea upon reflection than my initial kneejerk made it out to be. Yeah, +Speed/-Luck is the overall best build I'm pretty sure now.

High Heavy is full of people with strong-but-sub-OHKO magic damage, so "shouldn't get 2HKO'd by average magic damage" doesn't necessarily mean all that much! Trying to min/max for performance vs opponents with perfectly average stats is a losing idea, both in general and for someone who's going to a division of statistical outliers in a good way.

[Random Consonant]

+Mag gives an extra 10 points of magic by 20/17, which means Dragonstones will end up 2HKOing in practice due to Draconic Hex, which is hardly unsalvagable for all that I can only think of a small handful of situations where this will actually matter off the top of my head.  Mostly it's accounting for more simplistic doubling views.

-Res was proposed over -Mag as a "if one had to choose between kind of bad Res or not being able to hit the other defense worth a damn, Corrin would probably want the kind of bad Res since physical tanks exist", not as some weird minmaxing based around average opponents <_<.  I doubt Corrin beats much in the way of high heavy mages regardless of stat build so I'm not terribly torn up over this.  I'm pretty sure I implied it (and -def for that matter) was a lousy choice compared to -Luck so I don't see why you felt the need to remark on it anyways.

[Dark Holy Elf]

NOTE for NEB -

It seems that someone on tumblr has done some experimenting (about 23,000 tests it looks like) and did confirm the revised 'true hit' formula to be (3A+B)/4 for Hit values over 50%. There is a +/-1% margin of error it appears, but should be adequate for DL purposes. To simplify, if you don't like formulas, what this basically means is:

If displayed hit 50 >, then use actual displayed hit (so 35% chance to hit = 35%)
If displayed hit > 50, then:

50 – 50.5
51 – 51.83
52 – 53.17
53 – 54.5
54 – 55.83
55 – 57.17

Not sure if this was around during the initial post, but it felt like a mention if nothing else.

[SnowFire]

A few random notes!  Basically Anna + full cast averages.

Anna - She's DLC this time, but if you get her map (or Map Pack 1), she's available in all 3 routes.  She's an Outlaw who can Heart Seal into Apothecary & Troubadour class sets.  And unlike random recruits or bond units, she has Corrin supports, voiced lines in battle, can cook, etc.  If I did the math right and Serenes has the right growths, her stats come out to the following if she promotes to Adventurer:

Anna - Adventurer L15 (7 move, A bows, staves)
32.4 HP, 18.9 Str, 32.8 Mag, 20.9 Skl, 30.4 Spd, 32.8 Luck, 11.8 Def, 34.6 Res
~30% Avo (BR), ~25% Avo (CQ).  (+20 with Silver Bow/Yumi, -20 after turn 7)
0.56 PDur, 2.27 MDur (CQ)
0.65 PDur, 2.34 MDur (BR)
Skills: Make a Killing, Locktouch, Move+1, Lucky Seven, Pass
-Anna has +20 hit/avo for the first 7 turns

Damage shown is vs. Elf's Birthright enemy stats first, Conquest enemy stats in brackets.

Shining Bow: 28.8 [26.8] magic, ~97% hit, 1-2 range [no crits/skills]
Silver Yumi: 12.9 [11.9] physical, ~98% accuracy, 4% crit; Str/Skl -2 after battle
Silver Bow: 11.9 [10.9] physical, 100% accuracy, 4% crit; Str/Skl -2 after battle

So yeah.  She's extremely resistant to magic, but not quite as speedy as Niles or Nina.  And she direly, direly wants a magic weapon, which at least she'll get on 2/3 routes.  On BR, you're best making her a Merchant for Bolt Naginata hype if you can't scrounge up a Shining Bow, or making her a Strategist / Flame Shuriken Maid, I guess.  Unfortunately her physical durability is rather paper-ish, and equipping a Shining Bow makes her avoid notably worse, so she's not as dodgy as her Awakening form.  Still, the fact that she has real damage now with no Braves running up the averages makes this probably a better form than Awakening, for all that it sports some legality issues.

--
Full cast average!  Elf's interp is totally fine of course, but I prefer to see the cast as One Big Game called Fire Emblem Fates that just happens to have a huge branch point early on.  The characters that are shared between routes especially inclines me this way, at least for them in particular.  I'm not sure I'd call this a "Revelation" average as this doesn't include Fuga and doesn't exclude the rare characters not carried into Revelation (e.g. Scarlet), but you can call it that too, if you enforced "flavor" weapon legality, e.g. forcing Hoshidan characters to still shop from the Dawn Armory & Norhians to shop from the Dusk Armory.

Anyway, there's two ways to do this: "double-counting" characters who appear in both routes, and single-counting them.  Considering that these characters are more likely to appear in parties, and for Corrin in particular their appearances are actually mechanically different, there's something to this, and it also has the virtue of being super-easy to find: just average Elf's BR & CQ averages together.  Well, not quite, since there are 28 BR characters and 27 CQ characters if I count correctly, so BR counts for *slightly* more, but that difference is so subtle it barely matters.  The other asterisk is that for the damage average, I've used the Birthright enemy figures everywhere, which amps up the CQ damage figures somewhat (+1 for the fighters, and +2 for the mages).  Here's the results:

HP: 38.1 / 36.6 (BR) / 39.6 (CQ)
Str: 24.3 / 24.2 (BR) / 24.5 (CQ)
Mag: 11.6 (all)
Skl: 26.4 / 27.2 (BR) / 25.6 (CQ)
Spd: 27.6 / 29.5 (BR) / 25.6 (CQ)
Lck: 22.0 / 22.9 (BR) / 21.1 (CQ)
Def: 21.1 / 20.3 (BR) / 22.0 (CQ)
Res: 20.6 / 21.1 (BR) / 20.0 (CQ)

Damage: 21.5 / 20.8 (BR) / 22.2 (CQ, adjusted for BR enemy stats)
2.5x killpoint: 53.7

Anyway, the shared characters between routes are Corrin, Felicia, Jakob, Kaze, Mozu, Azura, Silas, Shura & Izana.  I took another average where these characters separate BR & CQ stats were averaged together, then un-double counted.  As you'll see, these characters disproprotionately are physically frail, magically resistant, damageless, but speedy types.  As a result, the new combined average looks a bit closer to the CQ average than the BR average, as the speed & physical durability averages fall but damage average rises.

"No double counting":

HP: 38.5 / 36.6 (BR) / 39.6 (CQ)
Spd: 27.2 / 29.5 (BR) / 25.6 (CQ)
Def: 21.6 / 20.3 (BR) / 22.0 (CQ)
Res: 20.2 / 21.1 (BR) / 20.0 (CQ)

Damage: 22.0 / 20.8 (BR) / 22.2 (CQ, adjusted for BR enemy stats)
2.5x killpoint: 55.0

Reminder that if you're using this killpoint and looking at a Conquest set of stats to add +1 to all physical damage & +2 to magic damage.  (And +5% dodginess.)

As for how to turn the durability stats around...  eyeballing is probably sufficient in general.  Using the "no double counting" set of averages, you end up with an average character in BR, combined, & CQ of:
PCHP: 0.95 (BR), 1.00 (RV), 1.03 (CQ)
PDur: 0.90 (BR), 1.00 (RV), 1.05 (CQ)
MDur: 0.99 (BR), 1.00 (RV), 1.02 (CQ)

So yeah, give +~5% to CQ PDur or take ~11% off of BR PDur.  MDur barely changes by cast (BR has less HP, CQ has less Res).

Here's the relevant characters, sorted by 3-turn average.  For characters whose stats differ, I used the form that has legal access to the weapon (e.g. Shura is randomly faster in Conquest, so he'll use the Silver Bow.)
*Asterisk is on characters wielding Silver / Silver equivalents, so add +1 to their turn 1 damage
