Shannam is a prepromoted level 1 [[Swordmaster]] that joins in [[Dark Forest|Chapter 16B]] of ''Thracia 776'' by talking to [[Homer]]. | Shannam is a prepromoted level 1 [[Swordmaster]] that joins in [[Dark Forest|Chapter 16B]] of ''Thracia 776'' by talking to [[Homer]]. His stats are incredibly low, being equal to Swordmaster's '''class bases''' in everything except for his 1 Luck, and he even has a [[FCM]] of 0 on top of that. His 9 Speed is enough to avoid being doubled by most enemies, but even then he gets 2HKO'd by most enemies, and can even get OHKO'd by some stronger ones. Likewise, despite having [[Adept]], Shannam's low stats prevent it from having any meaningful activation rate, as his 6 Con forces him to use lighter weapons. He contributes nothing in his join chapter, as it features loads of [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] and Swordmasters too fast for him to double, and too evasive in forests for him to hit. The [[Iron Blade]] he starts with cripples his attack speed down to zero, making him prone to getting one-rounded by almost anything, so it is necessary to give him something lighter, which he will struggle to deal any meaningful damage with his 5 Strength. | ||
Shannam has high growths in [[HP]], [[strength]], speed, and [[luck]]. However, as he joins promoted, his experience gain is low, so getting him out of his poor bases will take a while. His other stats only have a very low growth at 5%. His low [[Skill (stat)|skill]] stat in particular will give him middling hit rates in battle. His C-rank in swords is somewhat serviceable, but at this stage in the game even a unit with a low starting sword rank like [[Carrion]] will have at least a C in swords, and he will be locked out of the best swords until he can make his way to a B-rank. There are ways to make Shannam good at combat if the player is very dedicated, but doing so requires a lot of effort and investment, and there is nothing special about him when trained up that justifies his usage, outside of attempting to make a poor unit good. | Shannam has high growths in [[HP]], [[strength]], speed, and [[luck]].

Shannam is the only character in the game with the [[Bargain]] skill, which allows him to purchase items from [[vendor]]s and [[armory|armories]] at a discount, though unfortunately there are not many shops selling useful items left beyond the point where he joins, and you would have likely amassed enough gold at this point to make his contribution unnecessary. If he has the [[Member Card]] in his inventory, he can buy stat boosters in the [[secret shop]] during [[The Baron in Black|Chapter 24]] at a reduced price, though they are still expensive. | Shannam is the only character in the game with the [[Bargain]] skill, which allows him to purchase items from [[vendor]]s and [[armory|armories]] at a discount, though unfortunately there are not many shops selling useful items left beyond the point where he joins, and you would have likely amassed enough gold at this point to make his contribution unnecessary.
