When all the legendary weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, [[Eckesachs]], reacted to their presence in Roy's army and emitted a light beam pointing to the [[Dragon Sanctuary]], the last bastion of Bern's army and the hiding place of the Demon Dragon, [[Idunn]]. Roy led a final charge on the Dragon Sanctuary, first defeating the final Wyvern General, [[Brunnya]], then invading its interior and learning the true history of [[the Scouring]] from [[Jahn]], the sole surviving true [[Manakete]]. Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of [[Fae]], Roy realized he could not kill Idunn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idunn's lost heart.

Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of [[Fae]], Roy realized he could not kill Idunn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idunn's lost heart.


With the war over at last, Roy attended the coronation of Guinivere as the new Queen of Bern, then returned to Pherae to rebuild the war-ravaged region. If he reaches an A support with [[Shanna]], [[Sue]], [[Larum]], [[Cecilia]], or [[Sophia]], he married her and the couple rules together over Pherae. If he reaches an A support with Lilina, the two married and united Lycia into a single kingdom.

Roy cannot do much by himself. His combat is mostly lacking on Hard Mode, and he cannot promote until the lategame. It is easy to lose him if the player is not careful, and while he can typically survive a single hit, surviving two can be a tall order. At the very least, his promotion makes him a decent unit. However, it only increases his movement by 1, so he still falls behind compared to other units. Many players avoid using Roy because of his limitations and only ever use him for seizing thrones, leaving all other objectives to different, more capable units, though this also makes the endgame harder.

In terms of elemental affinities, Roy has the fire affinity, one of the best of the game; it boosts his and his partner's attack, accuracy, avoid and critical, all bonuses that, aside from accuracy, he and other characters might need. Alen is an excellent support, as both of them have the fire affinity, granting both of them a large bonus in attack, dodge and critical. [[Lilina]] is also a very good support, as her light affinity has the same bonuses apart from avoid, in exchange for a bonus in defense, something that he might need during combat. [[Cecilia]] and Lance both have the anima affinity, which gives bonuses in attack, defense, avoid and dodge, allowing him to deal more critical hits and increasing his survivability. [[Sophia]]'s affinity is dark, which grants bonus accuracy, avoid, critical and dodge that can help both of them.

Alen is an excellent support, as both of them have the fire affinity, granting both of them a large bonus in attack, dodge and critical. [[Lilina]] is also a very good support and the easisest to get for Roy due to both having the same movement and gaining most support points per turn, as her light affinity has the same bonuses apart from avoid, in exchange for a bonus in defense, something that he might need during combat. Both [[Marcus]] and [[Wolt]] have the Ice affinity, which grants bonuses in hit, avoid and dodge, increasing his accuracy and heavily decreasing enemy's hit rate due to {{FE6}} being infamous for the lowest hit rates. Both [[Sue]] and [[Shanna]] have the wind affinity, which grants almost same bonuses as the Ice affinity, with the difference that the crit is increased instead of avoid. [[Cecilia]] and [[Lance (character)|Lance]] both have the anima affinity, which gives bonuses in attack, defense, avoid and dodge, allowing him to deal more critical hits and increasing his survivability. [[Larum]] has the Thunder affinity, which increases avoid, crit and dodge, allowing Roy to dodge attacks easier. Finally, [[Sophia]]'s affinity is dark, which grants bonus accuracy, avoid, critical and dodge.

Roy is a competent leader and warrior. Despite his young age, he manages to lead an ever growing army and gain people's trust wherever he goes. Idealistic and loyal, he is committed to protect those in need and fight for the right causes, even if this means fighting against old bonds. He is also understanding of people's desires and reasons, and feels that a victory obtained by sacrificing people is not a true victory.<ref>{{Cite|'''Roy:''' I'm not rushing, but we must move as quickly as possible.<br>'''Cecilia:''' Why?<br>'''Roy:''' The quicker we move, the more lives will be saved.<br>'''Cecilia:''' ...Yes, that's true.<br>'''Roy:''' We fight to win this war.

Roy is a competent leader and warrior. Despite his young age, he manages to lead an ever growing army and gain people's trust wherever he goes. He is even often very cunning, managing to "fool" an apparent "vassal" into exposing himself. <ref>{{Cite|'''Wagner:''' Surely you would appreciate a warm bed after being in the field for so long.

Through Lilina and Wolt's conversations about Roy, though, a different side of Roy can be shown. According to Lilina, Roy is somewhat clumsy.<ref>{{Cite|'''Lilina:''' It's about Roy...

Roy is a [[smashwiki:Clone|moveset clone]] of Marth, meaning that he was created by reusing Marth's animations and assets with several modifications. He is designed as a sort of inverted take on Marth: while Marth's attacks [[smashwiki:Sweet spot (hitbox)|are strongest]] when landed at the tip of his sword, the strongest point of Roy's [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]] is the base of the blade at its hilt (in {{SSBM}}, it is instead the very center of the blade). He has lower jump height and faster falling speed, and in all games except for ''Melee'', he also has faster running and air speed. This makes him an overall speedier fighter that is more capable while grounded, but also significantly less versatile in the air with a weaker recovery. While Marth's play revolves around kiting around his foes, properly spacing him at a certain distance from them in order to land his very powerful "tippers", Roy's different sweet spot and stats makes him better suited to an aggressive close-quarters, rushdown style of play. His moveset was partially reworked in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'' to separate him from Marth with new and unique attacks, as well as grant him faster speed to help assist in his rushdown strategy, but the majority of his attacks are still taken from Marth.
