Rolf is the second archer to join the party, and joins at level 1. His base stats are incredibly low, he is bow-locked, he has no skills, and he has no mount, so his rate of experience gain is very low since it is difficult for him to get kills. His durability is also not great, though this matters less due to his use of bows. To his credit, he has his own Rolf's Bow, which is about the power of a Steel Bow with very good accuracy and high usage, alleviating his earlygame. To raise him, he requires a substantial amount of BEXP, which Mist and Marcia (who join in the same chapter) make much better use of.
Rolf is the second archer to join the party, and joins at level&nbsp;1 as a replacement for Shinon. His base stats are poor, he is bow-locked, he has no skills, and he has no mount, so his rate of experience gain is very low since it is difficult for him to get kills. Since he only has an E-rank in bows, he can't use a [[Steel Bow]] to compensate. His durability is also not great, though this matters less due to his use of bows. To his credit, he has his own personal weapon, [[Rolf's Bow]], which is only marginally weaker than the Steel Bow, is much lighter and has very good accuracy, high usage and a small crit bonus, alleviating his earlygame. To raise him, he requires a substantial amount of BEXP, which Mist and Marcia (who join in the same chapter) make much better use of.


Rolf's growths are mostly balanced. His only good growths are skill and speed, everything else is about average. Because of his average strength growth and terrible base, he will often struggle to gain strength and deal any significant damage without forges, making it even harder to train him. In the long run, he may turn into a respectable sniper better than Shinon, but he cannot compensate for an inability to fight during enemy phase nor his bad mobility; his main niche as a bow-user is having extra crit, which does not exist for snipers in the Japanese version of the game. He can also participate in the triangle attack with promoted Boyd and Oscar using bows, but this is merely a novelty at best since it requires training all three units, giving Oscar bows instead of axes, and an awkwardly specific setup. He gains a minor crit boost when standing adjacent to Oscar/Boyd/Shinon, which helps his offense.

Because of his average strength growth and terrible base, he will often struggle to gain strength and deal any significant damage without forges, making it even harder to train him. In the long run, he's not terrible and may turn into a respectable Sniper and better than Shinon, who is very powerful but rejoins late, but he cannot compensate for an inability to fight during enemy phase nor his bad mobility; his main niche as a bow-user is having extra crit, which does not exist for snipers in the Japanese version of the game, but even then, Astrid joins a few chapters later, and while her bases are similiar to his, she is mounted and has Paragon. He can also participate in the triangle attack with promoted Boyd and Oscar using bows, but this is merely a novelty at best since it requires training all three units, giving Oscar bows instead of axes, and an awkwardly specific setup. He has three bond supports with Oscar, Boyd and Shinon, gaining a crit bonus if he's standing adjacent to them, which helps his offense.


Rolf has no skills at base. He benefits from Adept since it helps compensate for his mediocre long-term power, and he has a good skill base for a level 1 unit and a good growth in it, so he can activate it frequently; however, other units make better use of Adept because Rolf lacks any sort of enemy phase. He can learn Deadeye from an Occult but this is not recommended since his accuracy is already good and putting enemies to sleep is rarely useful.

Rolf has a wind affinity which gives both avoid and accuracy; neither are particularly useful for him, as he wants strength the most. Rhys gives Rolf a slight attack boost, and is another unit who wants to stay with Rolf in the backlines, but Rhys himself does not benefit much from Rolf's support. Marcia benefits from Rolf's boosts and gives Rolf an attack boost of her own, but she is a flier so it is difficult to keep them together, and she has better options in Kieran and Tanith. Mist has a water support which buffs attack, but she also has better support options and gains a mount after promotion. Shinon and Tauroneo give defense and avoid buffs and are the best partners for Rolf simply because of their bad mobility and lack of other good options.

Rolf is one of two [[Sniper]]s (the other being his mentor [[Shinon]]) in Ike's group in part 3. He starts at level 1 and has lower base stats than Shinon, so he will struggle to [[Attack speed|double attack]] immediately and do much damage. He has his [[Rolf's Bow|own bow]] which is a respectable [[Hit|accurate]] bow with high usage, but it is no longer his [[personal weapon]] and can be given to Shinon or any other bow user. He can still contribute to the first few chapters of Part 3 thanks to [[ballista]] and favorable 2-[[range]] situations. However, he will struggle to keep up without significant investment and [[Bonus experience|BEXP]], and is generally outclassed by Shinon, due to a combination of better base stats, growths, and level. He starts with a B [[Weapon rank|rank]] in bows, so he cannot use [[Silver Bow]]s nor the [[Silencer]] without another weapon level. Rolf benefits significantly from ''Path of Radiance'' transfers, especially with a [[speed]] transfer, one of his best PoR growths.

Rolf benefits significantly from ''Path of Radiance'' transfers, especially with a [[speed]] transfer, one of his best PoR growths.


Rolf is bowlocked so his only forms of 1-range combat are [[Bow#Crossbows|crossbows]] (which lack in power outside of effective damage, and such enemies that are vulnerable to crossbows are very rare in his playable chapters) and the [[Double Bow]] (only available in the endgame), so he is primarily limited to attacking on player phase. Thus, while Rolf can contribute early on and has room to grow with his excellent [[strength]], when later part 3 and part 4 are more rout-heavy, Rolf becomes very limited. He also is not mounted so his mobility is lacking. He gains a powerful niche of extra range when promoted to a [[Marksman]], having 3-range on most bows in the game; however, he starts at level 1 so he cannot promote very quickly. Rolf's strength growth is one of the best in the game, so if trained, he can reliably always do damage. However, while his [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and speed bases and growths are not bad, they are not high enough, even for his low level, and he may often struggle to double for much of Part 3 until promotion.

Rolf's strength growth is one of the best in the game, so if trained, he can reliably always do damage. However, while his [[Skill (stat)|skill]] and speed bases and growths are not bad, they are not high enough to fully compensate, even for his low level, and he may often struggle to double for much of Part III until promotion.


Rolf's primary problem is his sheer inferiority to Shinon, who starts out with an insane 24 speed (+5 in comparison to Rolf's 19) and 12 levels on him. Shinon's growths are also good enough to ensure he will have very high stats come endgame, so there is really nothing Rolf can do that Shinon cannot; while Shinon's strength growth is significantly lower than Rolf's, his long term strength can be remedied via proper use of BEXP after capping some of his stats. Since he does not possess a personal bow like [[Leonardo]] does, there is no reason to pick him over Shinon for the Tower of Guidance unless Shinon has been killed in battle or has been intentionally benched by the player in favor of other units.
Rolf's primary problem is that he's outclassed by Shinon, who starts out with a fantastic 24 speed (+5 in comparison to Rolf's 19) and an insane 28 skill (while Rolf starts with 20 skill) and 12 levels above him. Shinon's growths are also good enough to ensure he will have very high stats come endgame, so there is really nothing Rolf can do that Shinon cannot; while Shinon's strength growth is significantly lower than Rolf's, his long-term strength can be remedied via proper use of BEXP after capping his skill and speed. While his lower level allows him to grow more and be more on par with Shinon over time, this hinders him. Since he does not possess a personal bow like [[Leonardo]] does, there is no reason to pick him over Shinon for the Tower of Guidance unless Shinon has been killed in battle or has been intentionally benched by the player in favor of other units.


Rolf has a wind affinity which gives accuracy and avoid, neither particularly useful for Rolf. Boyd has a fire affinity and appreciates the extra accuracy, and then gives Rolf extra attack. Mia likewise appreciates the extra avoid and has the same fire affinity.

==Trivia==
*In the English version of ''Path of Radiance'', Rolf erroneously tells Tauroneo in their C support that his mother died and his father left his family. In ''Radiant Dawn'', it is shown that Rolf's mother is alive and was the one who left the family while his father was dying. This error was not present in the Japanese version.
*In ''Radiant Dawn''{{'}}s base conversation "The Three Brothers", the North American version erroneously implies that Rolf and Boyd are step-brothers and not blood-related. The official ''Path of Radiance'' Japanese site states that Oscar, Boyd, and Rolf share the same father. This error was not present in the Japanese version and was fixed in the PAL version.
