Jagen | Jagen is the only unit in the early game who can reliably take hits from enemies, allowing him to bait them to other units. The early game enemies in ''Shadow Dragon'' on the hardest difficulty are extremely tough to defeat; no unit can one-round them, but most units struggle to survive against them. Jagen's base speed is and his growths are low, but his bases are higher than those of the other units available when he joins. Jagen's only high weapon rank is in lances and most early enemies use axes, forcing Jagen to suffer [[weapon triangle]] disadvantage to deal the most damage by using the [[Silver Lance]], or use a weaker weapon to gain weapon triangle advantage. | ||
Jagen can be reclassed to a Dracoknight once the player has access to the battle preparations menu in [[Battle in the Lea|Chapter 4]]. Then, he can use axes, allowing him to manipulate the weapon triangle in his favor when fighting lance users.

Then, he can use axes, allowing him to manipulate the weapon triangle in his favor when fighting lance users. He still will not double most enemies, but his strength and defense will be higher and there are few enemy bow users. Doing so also gives Jagen flying movement, which allows him to move around the map more easily than as a Paladin. | ||
At some point, other units' stats will begin to catch up to or surpass Jagen's; however, he will still be able to contribute by using forged effective weapons. Since Jagen has a very high base lance rank of B, he can use weapons like the [[Ridersbane]] at base level. When the Ridersbane is forged and given to Jagen, he can kill enemy cavalry in one hit even on the hardest difficulty level, and he will continue to do so throughout the game despite his statistical deficiencies. [[Cavalier]]s and [[Horseman|Horsemen]] are among the most common enemy types in ''Shadow Dragon'', making the ability to use the Ridersbane very useful. While Jagen is one of a number of units that can accomplish this, he starts the strongest of those that can. | At some point, other units' stats will begin to catch up to or surpass Jagen's; however, he will still be able to contribute by using forged effective weapons.

Jagen has fairly low luck; on higher difficulties, he faces crit chances from many enemies, which can get him killed even if he would otherwise survive. [[Goddess Icon]]s can mitigate the crit chances. | |||
