Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Oswin is an armor knight that joins in chapter 12 in both Eliwood and Hector's tales, he comes at a significantly higher level and bases than most other units in the earlygame and will be your strongest unit alongside Marcus in his join chapter. Because of the high enemy density in The Blazing Blade Oswin is an excellent earlygame tank, taking barely any damage as long as the enemies aren't using effective weaponry which are extremely rare. Besides his great bases, Oswin also has respectable growths in most areas, his luck might seem like a problem, but Oswin is durable enough to take a critical hit or two most of the time. Another weak point might seem to be his low speed base of 5 and only a 30% growth in said area, however because of the low enemy quality in The Blazing Blade along with his +3 speed upon promotion, Oswin will likely be able to double a fair number of enemies upon promotion. Unfortunately for Oswin, despite being an excellent unit in the earlygame, his low movement, alongside mediocre speed will make him a poor unit for the later chapters which emphasize high movement (not helped by his high constitution preventing him from being rescued by most units) and the ability to one round a high number of enemies. Another problem is that other units will likely catch up to Oswin and be able to trample over most of the enemies while Oswin lags behind. And the final dent in Oswin's armor are the Valkyries in Cog of Destiny that are fast enough to double him and prey on his poor resistance.
Overall, Oswin is a solid unit. His contributions in the earlygame are significant, but he drops off immensely around the midgame due to the enemy-phased nature of The Blazing Blade being unfit for an armor knight, though he can still contribute in slower playthroughs.
