Analysis

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

Saizo is the second ninja in Birthright and Revelation. He has good growths in HP, strength, skill, luck, and defense, and as a ninja, he can achieve a total growth of 405. His profession allows him to attack enemies in front of him and those separated by a grid, and with easily triggered debuffs, Saizo can become a very practical character.

As a ninja, he can obtain Locktouch and Poison Strike. The former allows him to open doors and obtain the treasures in treasure chests, which is a skill that he will never lose. The latter allows him to easily inflict additional damage on enemies with high defense or HP, and in combination with personal skills, he can also suppress enemies within range. One of his promotion options is Master Ninja. Although the first skill Lethality can instantly kill enemies, it may not be very practical due to unstable triggering. However, the five damage points provided by the second skill Shurikenfaire are very useful. His other promotion option is Mechanist. Although Golembane is useless, the Replicate obtained at level 15 can double his profits in one round.

As for reclassing, he can obtain Duelist's Blow and Vantage from Samurai, Astra and Swordfaire from Swordmaster, and Seal Strength and Life and Death from Master of Arms. These are all very practical skills, but if you want to transfer like this, it means giving up on using Shuriken. In short, regardless of whether it is recast or not, Saizo can perform well.

In Birthright, due to the limited speed of enemy units, although Saizo only has 11 base speed when he joins in Chapter 7, he is still able to steadily double enemies with his high speed growth. Even if he starts to fail to outspeed enemies, extra speed is in no short supply in Birthright thanks to tonics, meals, and pair-ups. Due to Saizo's overly average growth, it is possible for Saizo to underperform if you have bad luck with the RNG, and this should be noted. However, a blue weapon unit that can attack 1-2 spaces will never lose his utility.

In Revelation, Saizo performs a bit worse. He joins 4 chapters later than Birthright, but is only 2 levels stronger. However, Saizo can easily bridge this gap by relying on his personal growths. He's also still in one of the best enemy phase classes in the game, and can contribute well throughout the game if given investment. Notably, his new friendship support with Laslow allows him access to the Mercenary class, which grants him Strong Riposte and Sol to greatly improve his enemy phase.

Personality


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


Saizo is one of Ryoma's retainers and Kaze's brother. However, Saizo and his brother have completely different personalities. Saizo is cold-blooded and irritable, and is very doubtful, monitoring Corrin and others for the safety of the royal family. Nevertheless, he does have a gentle side; for example, he gets along quite well with Mozu, connecting with her over their shared experiences with farm work.
