Soren is a [[Wind Sage]] that starts in [[Ike]]'s party in part 3. He starts with good [[magic (stat)|magic]] and [[skill (stat)|skill]], and starts equipped with reasonable tomes so he can deal decent magic damage early on. He is also very frail due to bad [[health]] and [[defense]] bases and growths, and is not [[Avoid|dodgy]] due to his [[luck]] base and growth, while his base speed is decent but its growth is mediocre, meaning that he may not reliably double enemies, although [[Adept]] somewhat compensates for it. In addition, his bad luck base and growth is low enough that some enemies may have a reasonable [[Critical Hit|crit]] rate on him. On the other hand, his growths in magic, skill, and [[resistance]] are high and their bases are close to capping (easier with Path of Radiance transfers), so his weaknesses can be alleviated with BEXP. These growths also complement his specialty in [[Wind (magic)|wind tomes]], ensuring he can deal a lot of accurate magic damage despite not doubling. He also has a very good A rank in wind magic and two B ranks in fire and thunder magic, giving him a lot of options for tomes and giving him perfect coverage for all anima magic.

When promoted, Soren can use [[Staff|staves]], so at minimum, he can be a solid healer (albeit with a lower staff rank). He will still face durability and dodging issues though, so he usually can't be safely exposed much. He may be able to double more frequently through late part 3 with proper BEXP use, but his speed is very limited by his speedcap, so he will not double reliably near endgame. Like other mages, he is able to traverse desert maps with ease; unfortunately, due to being forced onto Ike's team in part 4, Soren won't be able to utilize this ability to help [[Micaiah]]'s team in chapter [[Distortions|4-3]], which is a desert rout chapter.

If using Soren long-term, it is highly recommended to keep Adept since it helps alleviate his doubling issues; however it is less reliable than in Path of Radiance due to activating off of speed instead of skill, the former which Soren is more lacking of; his extremely erratic biorhythm cycle can also impact its activation rates. For the same reason, other speed-based skills such as [[Vantage]] and [[Guard|Cancel]] are not recommended for him. He also learns [[Flare]] upon promotion which is nice for healing, but deals less damage than other mastery skills. Because Soren is not very dodgy nor durable, [[Shade (skill)|Shade]] is another skill that can alleviate this (again, not reliable). Soren is often brought under half health in one or two hits, so [[Resolve]] or [[Wrath]] can significantly boost his offense. With a decent skill base and high growth, Soren can use [[Pavise]] to help save him from some damage if he is exposed to open combat.
