Analysis

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

Devdan is a prepromoted halberdier that joins with average base stats everywhere. He is limited by having no mount nor canto, but has higher mobility than most other units due to already being promoted. He has a respectable B rank in lances, so he has access to 1-2 range, many useful lances like the short spear and killer lance, and can use silver lances immediately with an arms scroll. His base stats are average across most stats, for better and worse. He has enough speed to double some enemies on easier difficulties but not many, and enough strength to do decent damage but not excellent. He has average skill and excellent luck, and due to serenity and his fire affinity, his hitrates will be very reliable. Interestingly, he has a good resistance base, almost equal to his defense base, complemented by the Knight Ward if the player so chooses.

Devdan has excellent strength and decent defense growths, so he will consistently do decent damage and be reasonably durable with investment. He has a respectable skill and luck growth, ensuring his hitrates will continue to be reliable. His speed growth is low, but the Knight Ward increases it to 65%, and his base speed is salvageable enough to benefit from it. In the long run, Devdan can be a respectable lance-wielding combat unit, but does not particularly offer anything unique due to lack of mount and low speed.

Devdan has the Serenity skill which halves the effects of biorhythm. This arguably makes his hitrates more reliable as it decreases the variance of it, so it is recommended to keep it. He is a good candidate for an occult scroll, as he has enough space to learn Luna without sacrificing important skills. With his good skill, he also benefits from Adept and Guard, both skills that help his offense and durability, respectably.

Devdan has a fire affinity which gives an attack and accuracy boost, which he benefits from. Tormod and his fire affinity makes an excellent partner for Devdan, as both units will gain a respectable +3 attack and +15 accuracy boost. Nephenee appreciates Devdan's attack boost, and is the same class as Devdan, though her wind affinity does not help either unit too much. Largo is Devdan's weakest support option, as his wind affinity doesn't benefit Devdan much; Devdan's fire affinity is mostly overkill for Largo.

Trivia

• The piece of paper in Devdan's support with Largo shares its Japanese name with Danved. Path of Radiance localized the name as "Nadved", Devdan spelled backwards. This technically means that Path of Radiance localized Wuhalada as Nadved, though Radiant Dawn does not reflect this.
