(Surprised one of the most useful units in Fates didn't have an analysis. This is my first time writing this kind of analysis without having something as a base to rewrite, I apologize if it's a bit sloppy.) |

Jakob joins in in Chapter 6 of [[In the White Light|all]] [[Embrace the Dark|three]] [[Into the Ground|routes]] if Corrin is female, despite being in a promoted class, his base stats aren't much higher than most other units you obtain at the start of each route, he gains experience as if he were unpromoted, and has somewhat shaky growths. However, he will be able to obtain skills from promoted classes much earlier than anyone else. | Jakob joins in in Chapter 6 of [[In the White Light|all]] [[Embrace the Dark|three]] [[Into the Ground|routes]] if Corrin is female, despite being in a promoted class, his base stats aren't much higher than most other units you obtain at the start of each route, he gains experience as if he were unpromoted, and has somewhat shaky growths.

Due to his ability to obtain extremely powerful skills such as [[Life and Death]] or [[Trample]] much earlier than intended, he can become an early game juggernaut, if the player wishes to invest heavily into Jakob, he can marry Corrin before Chapter 10 of any route and gain access to the promoted version of Corrin's Talent class through [[Partner Seal]]s. A common strategy is to give Corrin the [[Wyvern Rider]] line so Jakob can get into [[Malig Knight]] or [[Wyvern Lord]] very early. If he is marrying Corrin for her class, then during Chapters 7 to 10, he should be reclassed into [[Paladin]] for its good combat stats, though this will deprive many units of a [[Heart Seal]] who may particularly want an early-game one, such as [[Elise]], [[Mozu | Due to his ability to obtain extremely powerful skills such as [[Life and Death]] or [[Trample]] much earlier than intended, he can become an early game juggernaut, if the player wishes to invest heavily into Jakob, he can marry Corrin before Chapter 10 of any route and gain access to the promoted version of Corrin's Talent class through [[Partner Seal]]s.

It should be noted that most units will also turn out very well in the short term, stat-wise, with this level of investment, the unique thing Jakob brings is the ability to obtain very lucrative (and potentially rare) skills very early, a similarly trained [[Silas]] or reclassed Wyvern Rider [[Elise]] can produce similar results in the ''Conquest'' campaign without needing to marry Corrin. | It should be noted that most units will also turn out very well in the short term, stat-wise, with this level of investment, the unique thing Jakob brings is the ability to obtain very lucrative (and potentially rare) skills very early, a similarly trained [[Silas]] or reclassed Wyvern Rider [[Elise]] can produce similar results in the ''Conquest'' campaign without needing to marry Corrin. | ||

If left in [[Butler]], Jakob still makes a passable staffbot and debuffer with his daggers, though his healing will be worse than [[Felicia]]'s due to his lower Magic, and while [[Gentilhomme]] and [[Demoiselle]] are superficially equivalent, many of your best units in the early game, such as Silas, will be male, thus not getting the damage reduction from Gentilhomme. | If left in [[Butler]], Jakob still makes a passable staffbot and debuffer with his daggers, though his healing will be worse than [[Felicia]]'s due to his lower Magic, and while [[Gentilhomme]] and [[Demoiselle]] are superficially equivalent, many of your best units in the early game, such as Silas, will be male, thus not getting the damage reduction from Gentilhomme. | ||
When rejoining in Chapter 15 of [[Wolfskin Peak|all]] [[The Black Pillar|three]] [[Rainbow Sage (Revelation chapter)|routes]] if Corrin is male, he becomes markedly worse for combat, his best option is usually becoming a full support unit and reclassing to [[Strategist]] for [[Inspiration]] and [[Rally Resistance]]. | When rejoining in Chapter 15 of [[Wolfskin Peak|all]] [[The Black Pillar|three]] [[Rainbow Sage (Revelation chapter)|routes]] if Corrin is male, he becomes markedly worse for combat, his best option is usually becoming a full support unit and reclassing to [[Strategist]] for [[Inspiration]] and [[Rally Resistance]]. | ||
