Lot (Japanese: ロット Lot) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. He first appears in Chapter 2. He is a man from the Western Isles, and part of Dieck's mercenary group. He has a younger sister, Mieu, whom he had to leave in Ward's sister's care while he traveled to the continent for a job.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

Role

Lot is a member of a group of mercenaries led by Dieck, which also includes Shanna and Ward. Previous to the game's events, he left his home in search of work. Ward's sister, Mary, offered to take care of his ailing mother and his sister. However, Lot's mother did not survive her illness.

Lord Eliwood, the marquess of Pherae, hires Dieck's mercenary group to help Roy on his perilous journey. In Chapter 2, Lot and the rest of the band appear and join in the battle. After the battle, Lot stays with Roy for the rest of his quest.

When the Lycian Army is fighting bandits in the Western Isles, they come across a small village. If Ward and Lot visit certain houses, their sisters will come and talk to them, giving them Speedwings and a Swordreaver to help them in battle.

After Bern is defeated and the war is over, he returns to the Western Isles and marries Mary. He leads a happy life, but rarely talks about his role in the war.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Lot joins with solid base stats (apart from Luck) but mediocre offensive growth rates. Being locked to axes means that he will have decent hit rates against lance users and will hit hard, but will overall have issues reliably hitting his opponents. His speed is average, meaning he will double fairly reliably on Normal Mode but will struggle to double any enemy with decent speed on Hard Mode. Compared to Ward, Lot is better early on and has more durability, but Ward has better long-term offense.

Lot's promotion into a Warrior is one of a hard difficulty to recommend simply due to the number of early game units vesting for the coveted Hero's Crest. Dieck and Rutger have great base stats, while Fir and Gonzalez are also strong units in their own right. The Warrior's promotion gains are incredible, particularly the 8 HP that the promotion gives, and with Lot's growth it's likely that he will cap his HP with this bonus. It also assists with his middling Speed growth and grants a sizable +3 Defense, improving his role as a tank. Bows also are a rather odd choice, as he already has no problem dealing with Pegasi and Wyverns with his triangle advantage, but the relatively high accuracy Bows have in comparison to most Axes in The Binding Blade makes him a prime user of them against higher evasion enemies or attacking enemies in forests.

If a player is seeking to try something new, or simply appreciates Lot for being a somewhat oddball Fighter in Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem, then they will find themselves enjoying him to his fullest. However, his mediocre offense and the high competition for his promotion item means that for most players his usefulness will be limited to the early game.

Personality

Between himself and Ward, Lot seems himself as the calm, grounded one. He tends to act as an older brother to both Ward and Shanna, since he considers both of them to be too excitable and even childish. In fact, several characters comment that Lot worries too much for a man of his age. He likes to think he is being realistic; however, that is not completely true. When his mother died, he told nobody, so they could not tell him to go back to his sister. Besides, due to his lack of experience as a mercenary, Lot tends to trust too easily in employers according to Dieck.

Lot also shows a quite impressive knowledge for someone of his social status; he is able to understand the logic behind the weapon triangle and can play the Fire Emblem equivalent of chess.

Fire Emblem Characters: The Binding Blade & The Blazing Blade

Lot's artwork from The Binding Blade is featured in a file in the Fire Emblem Characters book, alongside details regarding himself and his role in the game's story. He is the 11th character listed in this book. Lot scored 58th place in the online The Binding Blade popularity poll whose results were included in the book.

Fire Emblem Character File 011: Lot
	Gender: Male	Estimated Age: 20s	Title: Quiet Axeman	Origin: Western Isles
	Status: Dieck's Mercenaries Member			Weapon: Axe, Bow
	Ward's partner who is flawed by being prone to worrying. A member of Dieck's mercenaries. He is from the same town as Wade, and is his childhood friend. However, his personality is the exact opposite, as Lot is cool and collected. While he protects Ward's back as Ward fights out front, he is always fearful of that kind of attack he is made to do. After the war, he returns with Ward to their hometown, and lives a quiet, peaceful life with his younger sister Mieu. The cautious and composed Lot. It is unclear whether or not this was natural or the result of leaving his very young sister and sick mother behind in his hometown. However, he is not alone, as he has Ward and Shanna to concern himself with, and is like an older brother to them. In a support conversation with Ward, it is implied that his relationship with Ward's sister Mary is more than "just friends." Regardless, Lot has plenty of reasons why he must return home alive.
