Guy’s early game offense is among the best in the army. There are few alternatives available, and Guy is capable of one-rounding enemies because he doubles everything and has a high crit chance with the Killing Edge. His offensive stats are outstanding in Hard Mode because he receives a +2 bonus to base strength, skill, and speed. However, his long-term potential suffers. Guy will be swordlocked for the entire game, meaning that, aside from the [[Light Brand]] and [[Runesword]] (both extremely limited), he cannot counterattack at 2-range. Many enemies in ''The Blazing Blade'' wield 2-range and 1-2 range weapons—a severe problem for Guy, because he cannot counter their attacks in most cases. He is a liability on the enemy phase unless all enemies he fights only have 1-range.

He is a liability on the enemy phase unless all enemies he fights only have 1-range.  


Guy also has a low constitution stat. Usually, it does not matter because enemies in ''The Blazing Blade'' are slow, and Guy’s speed is very high. However, it prevents him from doubling with heavy swords in the early game. Even later in the game, Guy’s constitution will be deficient because he only gains 1 constitution from his promotion. That makes it more difficult for him to double faster enemies with effective weapons like the [[Longsword]]. This flaw is relevant if Guy is used long-term and fights the enemy Valkyries in Chapter 29 ([[Hector]] Hard Mode).

This flaw is relevant if Guy is used long-term and fights the enemy Valkyries in Chapter 29 ([[Hector]] Hard Mode).


Guy is also footlocked and does not become mounted upon promotion. His movement will forever be inferior to mounted units, and since the mounted units in ''The Blazing Blade'' are very good, the player will probably use many of them. Being footlocked also prevents Guy from having any utility—all Guy can do is fight enemies at 1-range. He is effective at it, but his most remarkable contributions are in the earlygame when the competition is sparse, and his good traits stand out more. In the long term, 1-2 range becomes essential, and most units can double because ''The Blazing Blade'' enemies are slow; Guy’s tremendous speed is overkill and does not provide him with an advantage.

Guy’s promotion does not fix his issues. It increases his sword rank and provides statistical increases but does not give him a mount or an additional weapon type. Guy’s most significant flaws are being swordlocked and being unmounted, so promoting him is not a tremendous benefit. [[Raven (character)|Raven]] is a superior candidate for the first [[Hero Crest]] promotion because his long-term potential is higher. Raven gains access to axes through promoting—and with it, 1-2 range. Guy only acquires some bulk and attacking power, and the statistical increases are not even that high.

Guy is one of the characters added to the game in the [[Closing In]] update, and was first made available via a set of quests that ran between June 8, 2022 and June 24, 2022. Following this, he would be directly added to the 3★ and 4★ summoning pools beginning with the Legendary Hero summoning event at the end of the month. Only one variation of Guy is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''The Blazing Blade'' incarnation.

* The English localization changed Guy's character endings to a significant degree. In the Japanese version, his solo ending states that he was seen as the Sword Saint's equal, instead of himself obtaining the title. In a similar fashion, his paired ending with Priscilla states that she convinced him to stay with her in the Japanese version, while it states that he leaves her in the localization.

* Guy's [[Swordmaster]] combat sprite (pictured above and to the right) is unique from that of other Swordmasters in the GBA games (such as [[Karel]], pictured below and to the right); Guy wears a headband, spreads his feet wider apart, and extends his off-hand outward.
