Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Heath is the first Wyvern Rider and third flier to join your party. Opposed to the Pegasus Knights you already got, Florina and Fiora, his base speed and resistance are comparably low, but he has decent physical bulk, strength, and constitution in return: traits which are usually preferable on a frontline unit. His low base speed is a problem that holds him back at first, but his speed growth is pretty decent, and most generic enemies from his joining chapter will weigh themself down with heavy weaponry or have poor speed to begin with, so he can grow into doubling speed range quickly. Since his strength and HP growth are high as well, his durability will stay good throughout the game (Barrier and Pure Water help out when facing magic enemies) and he can kill most enemies without using expensive weapons in one round once he starts doubling, and his B lance rank allows him to use most stronger weapons if he needs to.
As already mentioned, getting enough speed to reliably double enemies is very important for Heath, as his base speed is his biggest weakness. A good way to obtain the last necessary points of speed is Heath's Wyvern Lord promotion. Sparing an Elysian Whip for Heath isn't hard at all, since you already got two of them before Heath joins, and you'll get another one within a few chapters in case you already used them up. Alternatively, you can also use an Earth Seal, since the first one is soon to come too. Aside from patching up his speed, his promotion also boosts his HP and resistance, which improves his poor survivability against magic enemies, so you should promote Heath soon to enjoy the benefits of his promotion as early as possible. He also gains access to swords upon promotion, which are a neat weapon type to take out a bunch of axe users such as Pirates at close range without using up your Axereavers.
However, good growths and serviceable bases aren't Heath's most important selling points. His most important advantage is without a doubt his high mobility: flying movement allows you to ignore most terrain completely, and in addition keeps all the advantages of being mounted such as higher movement range in general and Canto. It allows Heath to quickly reach distant enemies and get the first strike on them, avoid dangerous attacks, ferry allied units around, get remote villages or items and much more. Since a lot of maps that will come up soon include heavy terrain that slows down your ground units or even forces them to take long detours, the ability to ignore those penalties can't be valued highly enough. It also means Heath will take more damage from bows, but he is durable enough to withstand a hit or two if needed, especially since their effective damage is only 2x in the overseas versions, as opposed to the standard 3x multiploer.
All in all, Heath joins with stats that are decent in all important areas aside from speed and resistance, and he is capable of solving his speed issues through level-ups and promotion. Furthermore, he comes with a great class which possesses almost perfect mobility, and he has decent weapon levels. This makes him one of the better units to join your army, despite his fairly late join time.

Trivia
- Heath's wyvern is named Hyperion.[4]
- An early version of his support conversation with Vaida found in the prototype builds of The Blazing Blade depicts Heath as Vaida's brother.[5] This relation was not retained in the retail release.
- There is a small typo in Heath's B support conversation with Priscilla. There is a line where he says, "I'm fine. A few cuts and scratches won't killl me." The word "kill" is incorrectly spelled as "killl" in this line.
