Shinon is a high-level sniper that starts in Ike's group in part 3. He has excellent base stats all around, having the second-highest base speed in the team and excellent skill with high crit rates, and decent strength to deal significant damage, if not outright one-round. His offense will stay excellent due to his excellent skill and speed growth, and an S rank in bows lets him use Silver Bows and the Silencer whenever he gets them. While his strength growth is mediocre, he starts very close to capping HP, skill, and speed, so it is very easy to increase strength and speed with BEXP. He has a high base level so it is easy to promote him early, which greatly benefits him due to giving him 3-range with standard bows (4-range with the long bow and double bow). He also has a decent defense growth, so he is not physically frail at all. While Shinon benefits a lot from ''Path of Radiance'' transfers, PoR Shinon has very low chances of capping almost any stats thanks to his bad base stats for his level, which is further exacerbated with the fact that he | Shinon is a high-level sniper that starts in Ike's group in part 3.

Due to his great combination of bases and growths, as well as the issues that plague the other archers in the game (Rolf's inferiority to him and forced competition with him, Astrid's horrible bases, and Leonardo's issues gaining experience), he is far and away the best candidate to wield the Double Bow in the Tower of Guidance. | ||
Shinon is bowlocked so his only form of 1-range combat are crossbows (which lack in power outside of effective damage) and the Double Bow (only endgame), so he is primarily limited to attacking on player phase. Thus, while he is very strong early on in part 3, when later part 3 and part 4 are more rout-heavy, Shinon becomes very limited. He also is not mounted so his mobility is lacking. While his base strength is good, his strength growth is not high enough to keep him reliably strong, so he may sometimes struggle with long-term strength. | Shinon is bowlocked so his only form of 1-range combat are crossbows (which lack in power outside of effective damage) and the Double Bow (only endgame), so he is primarily limited to attacking on player phase.
