Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Karin joins in Chapter 4, where she cannot fly. She cannot contribute much indoors, because her movement is hindered and most enemies are a threat to her. Her primary use in the Munster escape arc is capture-baiting while other units kill enemies, open doors and chests. Karin’s magic is high, so she can fight mages more safely than other units, but her strength is very low, rendering her unable to kill in one round.
Once Karin is deployed on outdoor maps, she becomes a useful utility unit. Karin’s greatest contributions involve her ability to travel across terrain unimpeded. She can help unmounted units in escape maps by picking them up and ferrying them to the escape point. She can pick up Leif or a thief to help them reach an important objective, or rescue a staff user to protect them from harm. Karin is also among the best users of the Leg Ring available in Chapter 8x, because her movement is never impeded by terrain on outdoor maps. Especially with the Leg Ring, she can visit villages difficult or impossible to reach with non-flying units.
Karin’s primary flaw is that her combat remains irrelevant without significant investment. Her base weapon ranks are very low. D-rank in swords indoors is mediocre, but E-rank in lances outdoors — even worse. Karin cannot even use Javelins without raising her weapon rank in lances. Since she cannot use weapons with high might, her attacking power will stay very poor for a while, because of her low base strength. Karin’s defense of 4, while not impossible to salvage, is also very low and makes it dangerous for her to fight over one enemy at a time. She can make use of scrolls to increase her growth rates and allow her to fight enemies more easily, but this applies to any player unit.
Karin is also not the only unit in Thracia 776 who can fly outdoors. That said, she joins first, granting her several chapters of exclusive utility. The next flier joins much later, in Chapter 14, giving Karin almost ten chapters with no competition in her niche.

Karin, Swift Rider
Returning to her native Silesse, Karin finally fulfilled her dream of joining the Order of Pegasus Knights. Although her service record doesn't indicate she went on to do anything particularly noteworthy, Karin nevertheless became regarded as an excellent Pegasus Knight in her own right.
