Silvia: Difference between revisions

Silvia is a Dancer who joins in Chapter 2 alongside [[Lewyn]]. Silvia primarily offers utility through her [[dance]]s, refreshing up to four adjacent units. Four units with extra turns can greatly increase the speed at which enemies are defeated or distance is traversed, especially if those units are strong mounts such as [[Sigurd]] or [[Lachesis]]. However, as an infantry unit, she will fall behind any mounts she dances for, and may not catch up to other infantry units that get ahead of her; she can use well the [[Leg Ring|Leg]] and [[Knight Ring]]s. Silvia cannot obtain the Leg or Knight Rings directly, and must purchase them—they cost 60,000 [[gold]] in total; Silvia starts near the village that provides the [[Bargain Band]], reducing the total cost to 30,000 gold, though the Bargain Band is an item many units may want, and Silvia she may still struggle to obtain the required gold.

Silvia offers little aside from her powerful dance utility. With her low strength and low weapon level, her combat is poor; her stats are primarily for her own defense. As she lacks [[Follow-Up]], she cannot double enemies, but her high speed can prevent enemies from doubling her—in Chapter 2 with a Slim Sword, only [[Waltz]] and [[Erinys]] have the [[attack speed]] to double her, and only by one point. Her low HP, defense, and resistance limit her survivability—every enemy in Chapter 2 deals enough damage to reduce her to below half HP. When reduced to low HP, [[Miracle]] can boost her [[avoid]] to give her a chance to survive, potentially to the point where she cannot be hit; however, Miracle only boosts her avoid for one turn at a time, and requires that she be at risk to activate. Miracle also allows her to reliably clear the Arena with enough set-up, but her main utility comes from dancing so she has no need to become strong.

Lene, like Silvia, is a Dancer, and fulfills a similar purpose; she inherits her mother's items, and is mostly unaffected by her father. Silvia can pass the Leg and Knight Rings to Lene, and while they are items many units in the second generation may want, [[Seliph]] is the only unit who will have a stronger claim than her. If Silvia passes the Bargain Band to Lene or marries [[Dew]]—who passes the [[Bargain]] skill—Lene can instead purchase both items at a reduced price. If [[Lex]] or [[Arden]] marry Silvia, Lene will inherit [[Vantage]]; with the [[Sleep Sword]], she can put an enemy to [[sleep (condition)|sleep]] before they attack, allowing her to clear the arena more reliably than she could with only Miracle.

Coipre joins underleveled at a point where staff utility is common enough that he is ultimately superflous, and no pairing will be able to fix his problems. Given that staff users have an easy time gaining experience in ranked runs, Coipre's performance will also vary little. Coipre's best father is [[Claude]], who will pass Major Bragi [[Holy Blood]] and all his staves, including [[Valkyrie (staff)|Valkyrie]]. If Lewyn is promoted, he can also use staves, and thus can also pass them down to Coirpre; Lewyn will also pass his Major Forseti blood and the [[Forseti (tome)|Forseti]] if he obtained it. However, Lewyn is a father in high demand, and of the three children who can potentially use Forseti—[[Arthur (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Arthur]], [[Ced]], and Coirpre—Coirpre is the worst; he joins the latest, has the lowest movement, and must promote to use it. In contrast, Claud is not in high demand; he has two other notable pairings—[[Edain]] and Erinys—but both have other good options. However, the aforementioned pairings gain more from Claud than Silvia's children.
