Thoron



Thoron (トローン, Torōn) is a special weapon of the Tome variety. It is the signature weapon of the Tactician of the Shepherds Robin.

Thoron is unlocked after S-Rank Clearing the battle in Emmeryn, a History Mode map from the Awakening DLC Pack.

=History= Thoron is a tome with a lot of history in the franchise.

In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Thoron only appears as a usable tome when Tailtiu is recruited. It is an A-Rank tome, meaning that no base-class heroes can use it (besides Tailtiu, thanks to her minor Thrudd blood), and only a select few promoted classes can. Thoron is accessible in the second generation by Tailtiu's daughter, Tine, who inherits it from her. If Tailtiu dies before the end of the first Generation, or if she does not have a lover, Thoron will be dropped by Ishtore in Chapter 7 upon his defeat. As such, only one instance of Thoron is accessible for the player (if Tine inherits it, Ishtore will not drop it). It is the second-strongest Thunder spell in the game before the legendary tome Mjölnir.

In Fire Emblem Awakening, Thoron appears as the strongest mass produced Thunder spell in the game, but also has the least accuracy of the three main B-Rank Tomes.

In Fire Emblem Fates, Thoron is the signature weapon of Robin. Like other amiibo weapons, it cannot be removed from his inventory. It is a moderately powerful tome which also grants Robin a passive 5 bonus points to his Critical Evade and 3 points to his resistance. A visually similar weapon is sold by Robin called Robin's Primer. It is a weaker version of the spell and does not come with the tome's innate bonuses, but retains the same animation and appearance of the Thoron tome.

In Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Thoron once again appears as the signature weapon of Robin. It is a Black Magic tome and grants him a 5 point bonus to his Critical hit rate.

=Gameplay= As a Rank E weapon, Thoron can be wielded by Robin as soon as the player unlocks the tome, and has a decent attack power of 80.

As a weapon with six available slots, Thoron allows an amount of flexibility with what weapon attributes to forge into the tome. However, as a tome unit, Topsy-Turvy is a very undesirable weapon attribute, due to said trait switching Robin's attacking stat from their better Magic stat to their mediocre Strength stat. (This is true when viewing Robin's performance as a standalone unit. However, there 5 tome users in the game, and since Robin's Strength stat is the highest of them, Robin is the *best* tome user of Topsy-Turvy. In battles where only tome units are allowed, for instance, having Robin as a mage killer by coupling Topsy-Turvy with Tomebreaker, can be a boon.)

As it is a personal weapon, it can be upgraded by creating Mastery and Sanctuary Crests, drastically increasing the weapon's Might, first to 240, then to 720.


 * To obtain Thoron's Scroll, which is needed for Robin's Mastery Crest, the player must S-Rank Clear the . After creating Robin's Mastery Crest, the True Power weapon attribute will be unlocked after 10,000 kills, negating any Might penalty reduction from the player putting a foreign slayer-type weapon attribute via reforging.
 * To obtain Thorons Opus, the player must first clear Scion of Legend, then S-Rank Clear one of the Distortion Battles. After creating Robin's Sanctuary Crest, the Divine Favor weapon attribute will overwrite the True Power attribute, even if True Power is not yet unlocked for Thoron.

=Trivia=
 * Thoron as a spell is used by Robin, Tharja, and Linde for their Strong IV Combos.
