Fighting Style
Tharja has very good Magic and Skill. She also has reduced Luck but has not only high Resistance but very high Defense as well for a magic user. Ther is important since it makes her more difficult to take down even at lower HP, which she puts herself in when she has her unique Crest equipped.

Her aforementioned unique Crest is Vengeance, a Skill that she learns as a Sorcerer. In Awakening and Fates, it gives the user a Skill-based chance of boosting attack power based on the amount of HP lost (maximum – current). In Warriors, it gives the same boost, but it is always active at the cost of constantly draining the user's HP. (The drain does not KO the user and HP lost while using Vengeance does not count towards damage taken while determining her Story Mode ranks.)
