Anankos (chapter): Difference between revisions

'''Anankos''' (Japanese: {{hl|透魔竜ハイドラ|Tōmaryū haidora}} ''Invisible Dragon Hydra'') is the endgame of the ''Revelation'' campaign in {{FE14}}. In this chapter, [[Corrin]] challenges [[Anankos]] to bring peace to the world once and for all.

[[Anankos]] reveals his full body in the astral void, to the horror of [[Corrin]]'s army. [[Xander]] remarks on their situation to [[Ryoma]]: the princes of two kingdoms, bitter rivals, spending their last moments together. After [[Azura]] doubts their plight, Corrin rallies his/her army to believe in themselves. Invoking the [[Yato|Fire Emblem]], Corrin declares he/she will fight for the world.

With Anankos finally slain, the royals all celebrate, and Azura thanks Corrin for fighting alongside her. Later on, Corrin is crowned the king/queen of [[Valla]], and he/she thanks Xander and Ryoma, now kings themselves, for offering land upon which to rebuild the kingdom. He/She pledges to work for the betterment of the kingdom and to believe in its people, with his/her brothers and sisters all encouraging and congratulating him/her. [[Gunter]], who watched the coronation from afar, makes his exit.

Some time after the coronation, Corrin meets Azura by the lake where he/she first met her. Corrin asks if she's fine with relinquishing her rightful place as ruler of Valla to him/her, to which she replies that she is happy with her decision, stating that the Yato believes in Corrin. Corrin promises to make [[Arete]] and the former king of Valla proud, and Azura [[Lost in Thoughts All Alone|sings]] for him/her. The two then discuss the origin of the song, with Azura guessing that Anankos was its author, writing it for the ones who would free him from his insanity through death. Azura suggests that Corrin could be the one to write the song's next part. The two return to the party to see Xander and Ryoma vow to keep peace between [[Nohr]] and [[Hoshido]], swearing this to Corrin himself/herself.

*Each turn, {{hover|up to two of the above will appear as reinforcements from the same spot they first appeared from|The first two in order, cycling around (starting with the General and Berserker), that are dead. For example, on turn 1, if the General is dead, the he will be respawned and be one of the two that spawn that turn, if he is not dead, his slot goes to the next unit in the cycle, being the Berserker. If the Berserker is dead, the he gets respawned and if not, then his slot passes on to the Sorcerer, repeating until someone gets respawned or unless nobody is dead. Then, whichever unit was just respawned starts a second round, so if the Sorcerer got respawned, then it would pick up with the Adventurer and keep going around. Then at the start of the next turn, the respawn cycle would pick up where the previous turn left off, so if the Malig Knight was the last to get respawned last turn, then the first respawn check would be made on the Wyvern Lord. The Bow Knight loops back to the General. If only 1 unit out of the 8 is dead, then that unit is the only one respawned, and if no unit is dead, then no units are spawned that turn and the cycle is not advanced.}}

As the final boss of ''Revelation'', Anankos is incredibly durable and highly damaging. He cannot double attack, but very few, if any units will be able to survive two consecutive attacks from him without healing in between. The best way to avoid taking too much damage from him is by using [[Pair Up]] and preparing a Dual Guard, which will allow a unit to survive two consecutive rounds of combat against him by virtue of simply blocking one attack altogether. The presence of infinite reinforcements can actually be a blessing here, as they can be safely attacked to build up your Dual Guard guage, and do not spawn frequently enough to be particularly dangerous. If a Dual Guard is somehow not quite in reach, be sure to keep a healer with [[Physic]] ready to heal them while staying out of Anankos's range.

In general, Corrin will likely be the main workhorse during this fight thanks to the sheer power the [[Omega Yato]] has against Anankos. With each passing phase, Anankos gets progressively bulkier and faster; before applying the Omega Yato's bonuses, Corrin will need to reach {{hover|20|Normal}}/{{hover|22|Hard/Lunatic}} speed to double his claws, {{hover|24|Normal}}/{{hover|26|Hard/Lunatic}} to double his head, and {{hover|29|Normal}}/{{hover|31|Hard/Lunatic}} to double all of Anankos's phases. Tonics, rallies, and [[Azura]]'s [[Inspiring Song]] can help Corrin reach these speeds should they not be quite up to snuff.

Once his head has been defeated and his core has been revealed, approaching Anankos becomes somewhat trickier. His new breath has more range and, though less powerful in terms of raw might, will likely do even more damage due to being a magic attack. Units with high resistance such as [[Kaze]] and [[Shura]] may be able to safely put some work into him alongside Corrin.
