Oswin is a Knight that joins in [[Birds of a Feather|Chapter 12]] in both Eliwood's and Hector's tales; he comes at a significantly higher level and with higher bases than most other units in the early-game, and will be the second-strongest unit after Marcus in his join chapter. Because of the high enemy density in ''The Blazing Blade'' Oswin is an excellent early-game tank, taking little to no damage against enemies unless they use effective weaponry, which is extremely rare. Besides his great bases, Oswin also has respectable growths in most areas. Oswin's luck is fairly low, but he is generally durable enough to take [[critical hit]]s. Oswin's speed is also quite low, with a base of 5 and a 30% growth; however because of the low enemy quality in ''The Blazing Blade'' and his +3 speed upon promotion, Oswin will likely be able to double a fair number of enemies upon promotion. | Oswin is a Knight that joins in [[Birds of a Feather|Chapter 12]] in both Eliwood's and Hector's tales; he comes at a significantly higher level and with higher bases than most other units in the early-game, and will be the second-strongest unit after Marcus in his join chapter.

Despite being an excellent unit in the early-game, Oswin's low movement and mediocre speed will make him a poor unit for the later chapters which emphasize high movement and the ability to one-round a high number of enemies; Oswin can be [[rescue (command)|rescue]]d by most mounted units, but it is simpler to use the mounted units themselves. Other units will likely catch up to or surpass Oswin stat-wise, accomplishing similar or greater combat results with higher movement. Additionally, the Valkyries in [[Cog of Destiny]] are fast enough to double Oswin, deal damage based on his poor resistance, and out-move him significantly. | Despite being an excellent unit in the early-game, Oswin's low movement and mediocre speed will make him a poor unit for the later chapters which emphasize high movement and the ability to one-round a high number of enemies; Oswin can be [[rescue (command)|rescue]]d by most mounted units, but it is simpler to use the mounted units themselves.
