Ilios joins as a great prepromoted combat unit that requires no investment thanks to high base stats. Of a particular note is his very high bulk—with 40 [[HP]], 10 [[defense]], 9 [[Magic (stat)|magic]], along with innate [[Miracle]] and [[Sol]], he is difficult to get killed, making him one of the most bulkiest spellcasters in the game. Ilios's base weapon levels are also excellent, with an A-level in [[sword]]s and [[thunder magic]]. While his [[Fire (magic)|fire]] and [[Wind (magic)|wind]] magic levels are only D, he almost never needs to use fire or wind tomes, though he can use the basic [[Wind]] tome if he needs to salvage a bit more [[attack speed]] to double reasonably fast enemies. On outdoor maps, Ilios has a horse, making him one of the player's most mobile combat units there. Even on indoor maps, he is still a good deployment choice despite having to dismount; his dismount penalties are negligible, except the loss of 3 movement and [[Canto]]. He also has an [[action]] star, giving him a 5% chance to move again after completing his turn.

While his [[Fire (magic)|fire]] and [[Wind (magic)|wind]] magic levels are only D, he almost never needs to use fire or wind tomes outside of the basic [[Wind]] which he has the rank for.

Ilios does have some flaws however. His primary combat flaw is his horrible [[FCM]] of 0, preventing him from critting an enemy on a follow-up attack; thankfully, he seldom needs to crit to one-round. He has no utility outside of combat outside of being able to capture outdoors. Indoors, his movement is worse than every other promoted unit and on par with the worst of unpromoted units. Perhaps the biggest and most obvious disadvantage that has nothing to do with his performance as a unit is that he is one of the very few rare examples in the ''Fire Emblem'' series in which his recruitment eligibility is tied to the status of a specific unit, in his case, [[Olwen]]; recruiting Ilios in the first place requires Olwen be either [[Death|dead]] or unrecruited (letting her get [[capture]]d and taken out of the map, or leaving her behind in [[escape (objective)|escape]] chapters, does not count, since she will still be alive for re-recruitment in [[The Prison Camp|Chapter 21x]]). If you're not comfortable with intentionally killing your units, you can opt to simply not recruit Olwen in [[Murder Holes|Chapter 11x]] if you desire to recruit Ilios.

====Comparison with Olwen====
As Ilios and Olwen are mutually exclusive, the player must choose between the two. This comparison is made simpler due to their shared class and growth rates.

In the New Kingdom of Thracia, Ilios at last achieved his dream when he was granted a title of nobility. However, the mighty warrior's skills were ill-suited for peacetime, and his government post ended in disaster. He mismanaged his district into ruin, though he was spared from punishment because of his service in the war. Reassigned to a symbolic, do-nothing post, he would often corner his subordinates and force them to listen to the same stories of his bygone glory days.
