Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Pelleas is a dark sage who joins Tibarn's team in part 4, being one of the only two units in the game, along with Lehran, who can use dark magic and are only recruitable from a second playthrough onward. His base stats are below average, especially when taking into account that he joins in a chapter where some of his teammates may have already been promoted to third-tier classes and with enemies whose stats are on par with said classes, while he himself is a level 12 second-tier class. To compensate, he has decent stat growths, with better growths in magic, speed, resistance, and skill in particular. Pelleas has a relatively stable biorhythm pattern, resulting in less severe penalties to his avoid and hit rates. On the downside, his base speed is low, making him more prone to getting double attacked by opponents. Additionally, due to the the sheer weight of dark tomes and his low strength, he will struggle to land accurate hits with his strong magic. He can alternatively use thunder tomes, exchanging raw might for lightweight accuracy; this additionally allows him to deal bonus damage against the dragon units in chapter 4-5 and (assuming he is brought into the Tower) 4-E. For him to pull through for the remainder of the game, the player may need to feed him kills during his join chapter, and give a few levels of BEXP along with an early Master Crown promotion (albeit not too early, otherwise he may miss out on some stat increases).
When promoted, he additionally gains usage of staves. In comparison to the anima-specialist archsages, he starts with a significantly higher proficiency with staves, at a B rank, in order to accommodate for his late join time. His staff rank can be raised to a maximum of an S rank, being the only archsage that is able to do so, while anima-specialist archsages can only reach an A rank. This effectively means that he is the only archsage that can use the Fortify staff, and can pretty much use every other staves in the game excluding Matrona and the Ashera Staff.
Pelleas has innate Miracle, which can save him from fatal blows, though it isn't reliable due to his low luck stat. Due to bad speed, Adept and Vantage won't help either. Shade may slightly help him survive better but should not be overdependent on. Pelleas can use Wrath or Resolve to significantly increase his attack power, especially when the remaining enemies he faces have very high stats in comparison to him.
Pelleas has a water affinity which gives a boost to attack and defense. As his main magic specialty are the powerful, but inaccurate dark tomes, partnering Pelleas with a unit with a heaven affinity can help him land more accurate hits. Likewise, the heavy weight of dark tomes can hinder his avoid rates, which can be solved with an earth affinity. A wind affinity can accomplish both at the same time, albeit to a weaker extent.
