“ | I no longer have a home to return to. However... there is something that I must do. | ” | — Saias |
---|
Saias (Japanese: サイアス Cyas) is the illegitimate son of Arvis and his lieutenant Aida, the elder half-brother of Prince Julius and Princess Julia of Grannvale, an heir to House Velthomer, and a full-blooded descendent of the Crusader Fjalar[1]. Perceived as a threat to the Loptr Church and its plans after his birth, Aida was murdered by Manfroy of the Loptrians while trying to protect him, and he was raised in secrecy by his grandfather Cohen.
Saias grew up to be a master tactician and, his identity hidden, was eventually appointed Velthomer's court archbishop, a position theorised by Cohen to be able to protect him out of its high status. However, the rise of Julius and the resurgence of the Loptr Church cast this into doubt in spite of the trust and reputation he had among the Grannvale nobility. In time, he came to support and assist Leif's liberation army in the Munster District.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Saias is a late-joining level 12 High Priest. Despite his late join time, he has many advantages that make him worth deploying. He has A-rank in staves, allowing him to use all staves in Thracia with no investment. With three action stars, he also has a 15% chance to move again after performing an action. While action stars are unreliable, they can occasionally let Saias use a staff twice in a single turn, for instance.
Saias has three authority stars (five during chapter 23), increasing the accuracy and avoid of all player units on the map by 9%. Saias is the only playable character in the game at the time of his recruitment onwards to have multiple authority stars, a distinction no longer held by Leif due to losing one of his authority stars in chapter 19. Having authority stars is especially useful in the final chapter, where many enemies have several authority stars themselves. Having the ability to negate some of them by deploying Saias is useful.
Saias's base magic is very high at 18, only 2 points away from capping. With such a high magic stat, Saias can use status staves like Sleep and Silence very well. Status staves are useful against enemy dark magic users with long-range or lethally dangerous tomes like Fenrir or Hel, or with dangerous staves such as Berserk.
Saias does not excel at combat; he comes with no combat skills other than Nihil, and his speed is not high enough to double most enemies. Saias HP and defense are also both low, putting him in danger when facing physical enemies. The player could use statboosters and Crusader Scrolls to increase his offensive growths rates to make him a competent spellcaster, but he only has 8 levels for his improved growths to take effect. He is also limited to using only light magic tomes to fight, which are very scarce, and the only shop that readily sells them is encountered one chapter before Saias is recruited. For these reasons, Saias should stay out of combat and contribute from afar by using staves.
In comparison to Ced
Saias's biggest disadvantage is the fact that he is mutually exclusive to Ced, who is recruitable in the same chapter as Saias; recruiting Ced will make Saias leave the party at the end of the chapter. Between the two, Ced has better combat, has higher HP—which makes it harder for him to get fatigued—and is durable as well. Saias has one more point of magic and one more action star to Ced; however, those matter little, as Saias and Ced offer nearly exact utility. Saias's biggest advantage are his three authority stars compared to Ced's one; additionally, for faster playthroughs, it takes one more turn to finish the chapter if the player desires to recruit Ced; Leif has to spend a turn walking up to Ced (who is occupying the gate) for recruitment instead of having someone else move him out of the way to seize the castle). Furthermore, Ced's combat is largely overkill due the low quality of most enemies in Thracia, and other units like Galzus have equally strong combat to Ced. Another minor difference between the two is that if Saias stays with Leif's army at the end of Chapter 23, he will provide a hint to the player on how they can recruit Galzus, whereas no other similar hint is offered by Ced.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Saias is playable as a SpotPass character, released in the Thracia 776 character set. He is also present as an enemy in the Lost Bloodlines 1 and 3 and Rogues & Redeemers 1, 2, and 3 of Awakening's DLC.
