Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Selphina joins as a level 8 Arch Knight with a B-rank in bows. Her base stats are poor for her level, but thanks to her high bow rank, she can contribute. Her growths are worse than Robert's, but her base stats, base level, and bow rank are all higher.
Selphina's main advantage is the B-rank in bows, letting her use the Brave Bow at base, among others. With the Brave Bow, she can one-round enemies without taking a counterattack. She also has the Accost skill. The skill lets her start another combat round if she fights someone with lower AS and HP. If she is attacking someone who cannot counter, this is useful, because it lets her safely one-round. For example, she can shoot an enemy eight times with the Brave Bow if she doubles and pocs Accost. However, her low base HP means she can struggle to activate this. If a Ballista or another dangerous enemy with low HP and speed with 1-range targets her, the skill can get her killed. As long as the player exercises caution while using Selphina, she will be alright, though.
Selphina has several flaws. First of all, she can only use bows, so she can never counter at 1-range. Second, she suffers movement and stat penalties indoors. While she keeps her main weapon type indoors, letting her contribute from 2-range, this is still a flaw. Outdoors, she has good mobility thanks to her mount, but she loses it indoors. Finally, her constitution is poor and unlikely to improve much. Even after promotion, she will be weighed down by 4 points of speed when wielding the Brave Bow.
Overall, Selphina is a decent chip damage dealer, especially on outdoor maps. Since most bow users in Thracia are mediocre or weak units, the player is unlikely to train them. For that reason, when Selphina joins, she will likely have exclusive access to the Brave Bow. Besides, she is mounted outdoors, making her mobile. Her player phase damage output is great with Accost and the Brave Bow, but her enemy phase is horrible. She is a bit difficult to use, but more usable and better at base level than the units she joins with.
Personality
Selphina is nondescript, and given no explicit personality traits. Her ending suggests that she is very kind and willing to give to those worse off than her.
Endings
Selphina, Beautiful Bow Knight
After the new Kingdom of Thracia was established, she retired from her position of leading the royal guard. Instead, she used her mansion as an orphanage to take care of deprived children. Many of the children that Selphina saved lived on to become great heroes. Selphina was later called the Mother of Thracia, and her stories were told for many generations.
