Soren is the first mage in the game, available for the majority of the game. He can always attack at 1-2 range and target enemy resistance. His base skill and speed are decent but his base strength is nonexistent, so he is weighed down by all tomes in the game. His base magic is also weak, and he only has access to the very weak Wind and Fire in earlygame, so his damage output is very low. Thus in earlygame he is primarily relegated to minor chip. He is also very frail so he must be kept out of danger. | Soren is the first mage in the game, available for the majority of the game. He can always attack at 1-2 range and target enemy resistance.

His magic and skill growths are excellent, so he can reliably grow into a magic nuke through midgame, especially as better tomes and forges become available. His high magic is especially valuable if one were to abuse the forge glitch in the Japanese version to get 255 crit thunder tomes. His speed growth is not low, but it is not high enough to make him reliably fast enough to double, and on top of his terrible strength, Soren will frequently have doubling issues, especially on higher difficulties. Due to being a mage, he also has less movement than physical infantry units. | His magic and skill growths are excellent, so he can reliably grow into a magic nuke through midgame, especially as better tomes and forges become available.

Soren can promote into a sage that uses staves; there is no reason for him to use knives outside of novelty. With his excellent magic growth, he can become a valuable healer, though his base E rank in staves limits him to Heal for much of the game. If his staff rank is raised significantly, he will have excellent range with physic and rescue, but weapon ranks increase very slowly. He also starts with the Adept skill which complements his excellent skill stat and helps mitigate his doubling issues; it is recommended to keep Adept on him. | Soren can promote into a sage that uses staves; there is no reason for him to use knives outside of novelty; knives have very low might and lack 1-2 range, and his minuscule strength prevents him from doing even chip damage with knives. With his excellent magic growth, he can become a valuable healer, though his base E rank in staves limits him to Heal for much of the game. If his staff rank is raised significantly, he will have excellent range with physic and rescue, but weapon ranks increase very slowly. When promoted to a sage, he will have at least 2 points of strength, so at the very least, he is able to effectively wield Elwind without being weighed down. He also starts with the Adept skill which complements his excellent skill stat and helps mitigate his doubling issues; it is recommended to keep Adept on him. | ||
Soren has a dark affinity which gives attack and avoid. He only has two potential support partners in the game: Ike and Stefan. Ike works well since his earth affinity gives both units valuable avoid for better durability, and they are both infantry units. Stefan has a heaven affinity which gives only accuracy, but neither character strictly need more accuracy. | Soren has a dark affinity which gives attack and avoid.
