Franz is a [[Cavalier]] that joins in [[Escape!|Chapter 1]] of ''The Sacred Stones'' where he will contribute greatly thanks to his class giving him access to 7 Move and two weapon types, letting him avoid a weapon triangle disadvantage. He comes with solid bases for his early join time, along with high growths in every area besides defense and resistance. Due to the low quality of enemies in the ''The Sacred Stones'' Franz won't have trouble reaching Level 10 by the time the player gets the first [[Knight Crest]] and is able to promote early. He is by far the best user of the first Knight Crest as [[Gilliam]], [[Kyle]], and [[Forde]] will have trouble reaching Level 10 as soon as Franz.

Due to the low quality of enemies in the ''The Sacred Stones'' Franz will not have trouble reaching level 10 by the time the player gets the first [[Knight Crest]] and is able to promote early. He is by far the best user of the first Knight Crest as [[Gilliam]], [[Kyle]], and [[Forde]] will have trouble reaching level 10 as soon as Franz.


Franz's biggest problem is the fact that he lacks the flier or staff utility of other units available as early as him. While this does not make him bad, it does mean that he has a harder time standing out from the rest of the pack, especially when [[Seth]] is able to do everything Franz can but with much better base performance.

Franz's best promotion is without a doubt [[Paladin]], as it gives him 8 movement, a valuable trait with the relatively limited amount of units with similarly high movement. The Great Knight does give better speed and strength, and access to Axes, but has only 6 movement, which removes Franz's greatest asset.

Overall, Franz is a highly competent and effective unit who will more than pull his weight throughout the game. The only truly bad thing one can say about him is that he's not as good as Seth, a problem shared with every unit not named Seth.
