'''Sylvain Jose Gautier''' (pronounced {{IPA|sɪl'veɪn hoʊ'zeɪ 'ɡɑtieɪ}}; Japanese: {{hover|シルヴァン=ジョゼ=ゴーティエ|Shiruvan Joze Gōtie}} ''Sylvain José Gautier'') is a character appearing in {{FE16}}. He is a student at the Officers Academy and a member of the [[Blue Lions]].
'''Sylvain Jose Gautier''' (pronounced {{IPA|sɪl'veɪn hoʊ'zeɪ 'ɡɑtieɪ}}; Japanese: {{hl|シルヴァン=ジョゼ=ゴーティエ|Shiruvan Joze Gōtie}} ''Sylvain José Gautier'') is a [[Crest]]-bearing scion of House [[Gautier]], second son of its then-margrave [[Matthias Raoul Gautier]], younger brother of [[Miklan]], and a good friend of fellow nobles [[Dimitri]], [[Felix]], and [[Ingrid]]. In [[Timeline of Fódlan|1180]], he enrolled in the [[Officers Academy]] at [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] and joined the [[Blue Lions]] house alongside his friends.
 
Sylvain is a playable character in {{FE16}}. Additionally, he is also a playable character in the spinoff titles {{FEH}} and {{title|Warriors: Three Hopes}}.


==Biography==
==Biography==
Sylvain is the second son of the house of Margrave Gautier. During his childhood, he was abused by his elder brother [[Miklan]], who deeply resented him due to his own lack of a Crest making him ineligible to inherit the margravate. Eventually, Miklan was disinherited and left House Gautier. In 1180, he enrolled in the Officers Academy at [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] and joined the [[Blue Lions]], studying and fighting alongside them. During this time, Miklan steals the [[Lance of Ruin]] from House Gautier and is tracked down and slain by Church forces, potentially including Sylvain himself.

After the timeskip, if Sylvain is a member of [[Byleth]]'s class, he returns to Garreg Mach on the day of the millennium festival and accompanies them throughout the war. If not recruited on the Verdant Wind route, he reunites with [[Dimitri]] and fights alongside him in the Battle at Gronder, and can be circumvented or slain at the player's discretion. If not recruited on the Crimson Flower route, he fights alongside Dimitri at the Tailtean Plains, and is slain by Imperial forces. Sylvain makes no appearances in the story on the Silver Snow route, but it is most likely he's one of the many casualties of the Battle at Gronder.

Sylvain is a physically-oriented unit with great offenses and good physical bulk. His base stats while not excellent are solid, lacking any clear weakness, and with [[Tempest Lance]] at base he can deal major damage immediately from recruitment. On top of solid bases, Sylvain has great growths in [[speed]], [[HP]], [[Defense]], and [[charm]] and a good growth in [[strength]], meaning that as the game progresses, Sylvain will end up with respectable physical bulk on par with [[Dimitri]] which will allow him to survive double attacks from the fastest enemies on maddening. Sylvain's personal skill of [[Philanderer]], which gives -2 to damage taken and +2 to damage output when next to a female unit, also boosts his bulk in the early game allowing him to tank hits for more vulnerable allies in the early game. Upon achieving an A-rank in [[lance]]s, Sylvain will obtain one of the best [[combat art]]s in the game: [[Swift Strikes]]. This is one of the few combat arts with a [[brave weapon|brave]]-effect meaning it makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and Sylvain is one of three units able to obtain this art. With a strong-enough lance, this combat art allows Sylvain to one-round nearly any enemy. Swift Strikes even retains the effective damage bonus of the [[Horseslayer]] and [[Blessed Lance]] allowing Sylvain to tear through nearly any enemy horseback unit or [[monster]].

This is one of the few combat arts with a [[brave weapon|brave]]-effect meaning it makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and Sylvain is one of three units able to obtain this art alongside [[Ferdinand]] and [[Seteth]]. With a strong-enough lance, this combat art allows Sylvain to one-round nearly any enemy. Swift Strikes even retains the effective damage bonus of the [[Horseslayer]] and [[Blessed Lance]] allowing Sylvain to tear through nearly any enemy horseback unit or [[monster]].
 
Sylvain possesses a minor [[Crest of Gautier]] which grants him a 40% chance to raise [[might]] by five when using a combat art. Like nearly all crest effects, the proc rate is not reliable though it has great synergy with Swift Strikes. Since the combat art hits twice consecutively, the Crest of Gautier effect has a 64% chance of procing on at least one of the hits, meaning that the effect will proc when using Swift Strikes more often than not, further bolstering Sylvain's impressive ability to consistently one-round enemies. Sylvain's crest also allows him to use [[Ruined Sky]], the [[Lance of Ruin]]'s exclusive combat art. The art grants a great bonus to might (+13) and deals bonus damage to [[dragon]]s and flying units, however, any bonuses to might it grants pales in comparison to using Swift Strikes with the [[Heroes' Relics|relic]] lance—which grants an effective +24 to might provided the second hit lands—and since both arts consume the same amount of [[durability]], Swift Strikes is the superior option.


Sylvain possesses a minor [[crests|Crest]] of [[Gautier]] which grants him a 40% chance to raise [[might]] by five when using a combat art. Like nearly all crest effects, the proc rate is not reliable though it has great synergy with Swift Strikes. Since the combat art hits twice consecutively, the Crest of Gautier effect has a 64% of procing on at least one of the hits, meaning that the effect will proc when using Swift Strike more often than not, further bolstering Sylvain's impressive ability to consistently one-round enemies. Sylvain's crest also allows him to use [[Ruined Sky]], the [[Lance of Ruin]]'s exclusive combat art. The art grants a great bonus to might (+13) and deals bonus damage to [[dragon]]s and flying units, however, any bonuses to might it grants pales in comparison to using Swift Strikes with the [[Heroes' Relics|relic]] lance — which grants an effective +24 to might provided the second hit lands— and since both arts consume the same amount of [[durability]], Swift Strikes is the superior option.
Sylvain has a Budding Talent in [[Reason]], which will give him [[Black Magic Avo +20]], increasing his avoid while equipped with black magic. To be able to make use of this ability to strengthen his dodge-tanking, he needs to be classed as a magic-wielding class. Though the Budding Talent can make the process of promoting into a [[Dark Knight]] easier, and Sylvain himself has some very strong and useful spells at his disposal, such as [[Ragnarok]], [[Seraphim]], and [[Physic]], his magical prowess is average at best, as his growth in [[Magic (stat)|magic]], while higher in comparison to other non-mage units, is mediocre.


Sylvain's best promotion pathways involve capitalizing on the amazing damage output of Swift Strikes. In order to focus on obtaining Swift Strikes as soon as possible, promote Sylvain into a [[Soldier]], then [[Cavalier]], then end in [[Paladin]]. Since Paladin has [[Lancefaire]] and the highest strength class modifier and [[movement]] out of all horse-mounted classes, the Paladin class is one of Sylvain's best final classes. Promoting Sylvain to a [[Dark Knight]] not only makes him lose a point of movement, but also decreases his damage output with lances by six in exchange for strengthening his magic, which Sylvain has a significantly lower growth in as compared to his strength growth. When following the above promotion path, make sure to give Sylvain [[Death Blow]] by mastering the [[Brigand]] class with him as obtaining the skill translates to as much as twelve more damage when using Swift Strikes. Sylvain can also follow the promotion pathway of [[Fighter]] to Brigand, master for Death Blow, then [[Wyvern Rider]], ending in [[Wyvern Lord]]. The best physically-oriented class in the game is undoubtedly the Wyvern Lord as it has the best strength and speed modifiers and [[Canto]] bolstered by the peerless movement of flying units; though, with Sylvain, the case can also be made for Paladin being a better option. While the Wyvern Lord class has generally superior combat and movement, Paladins have Lancefaire as a class skill, making the strength class modifier for Paladin an effective +7 as opposed to the Wyvern Lord's +4. Furthermore, Paladins, in being landbound units, can equip guard [[adjutant]]s, giving Paladins a safer enemy phase.

Furthermore, Paladins, in being landbound units, can equip guard [[adjutant]]s, giving Paladins a safer enemy phase, and have access to all [[Battalion]]s in the game. There's also nothing stopping him from getting both classes and switching between the two as dictated by map layout; for example, the penultimate map of Azure Moon is in a city with lots of buildings that Wyvern Lord can fly over, while the final map is an indoor map in a castle where flight is low-impact. Promoting Sylvain to a Dark Knight will grant him an alternative yet significantly weaker offensive option in magic at the cost of making him lose a point of movement and decreasing his damage output with lances by six. As mentioned earlier, Sylvain's excellent physical combat prowess means that it greatly overshadows his performance in magical-oriented classes by way of his great physical growths and Swift Strikes.


====Out-of-House Performance====
====Out-of-House Performance====
Sylvain holds the unique distinction of being the easiest unit to recruit outside of the [[Blue Lions]]. As long as you picked a female [[Byleth]] at the beginning of the game, Sylvain can be recruited during the first exploration session in [[Familiar Scenery|Chapter 2]]. Since he essentially has no recruitment cost, Sylvain can essentially be considered one of your starting units in any route and be trained accordingly. Sylvain's personal skill also has great synergy with [[Hilda]] and [[Leonie]]'s personal skills, Hilda's giving Sylvain +5 damage output in conjunction with his own personal skill and Leonie's allowing the two to boost each other. An additional perk of an early recruitment of Sylvain is that it allows you to keep the Lance of Ruin by refusing to return it to [[Rhea]] after [[The Gautier Inheritance|Chapter 5]], giving you a 22-might weapon to bring to your next encounter with the [[Death Knight]] and to Gronder Field without playing Sylvain's [[The Forgotten|paralogue]], which usually unlocks at the beginning of [[Field of the Eagle and Lion|Chapter 7]]. The Lance of Ruin can also be used in [[Rumors of a Reaper|Chapter 6]] to reliably one shot the Death Knight when used with [[Knightkneeler]]. On the other hand, if you picked male Byleth in the beginning, Sylvain's standards for out-of-house recruitment are more far more stringent, demanding a high level of charm and proficiency in [[Black Magic|Reason]], a proficiency only helpful for Byleth if you plan to keep him in the [[Enlightened One]] class or if you are playing [[Black Eagles]] and also seek to recruit [[Lorenz (Three Houses)|Lorenz]]. These conditions make Sylvain more difficult to recruit before the main map of Chapter 5, potentially making you miss out on a great advantage to recruiting him.

On the other hand, if you picked male Byleth in the beginning, Sylvain's standards for out-of-house recruitment are far more stringent, demanding a high level of charm and proficiency in Reason, a proficiency only helpful for Byleth if you plan to keep him in the [[Enlightened One]] class, if you are playing [[Black Eagles]] and also seek to recruit [[Lorenz (Three Houses)|Lorenz]], or if you are a [[Golden Deer]] wanting to recruit [[Linhardt]]. These conditions make Sylvain more difficult to recruit before the main map of Chapter&nbsp;5, potentially making you miss out on a great advantage to recruiting him. Moreover, the other routes have easier access to a Swift Strikes-user—the [[Black Eagles]] have [[Ferdinand]] while the [[Golden Deer]] automatically recruit [[Seteth]] for free at the end of Part I—making recruiting Sylvain not strictly necessary.

===Role===
Sylvain was first made available to be summoned by players on July 8, 2020 in a special summer variation as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Overseas Memories]] update. The aforementioned summer variation of Sylvain is the only one currently available in ''Heroes'', based on his ''Three Houses'' Part I incarnation. Sylvain is one of a rare number of characters to have been made available only as a special variation without a normal variation of them available (no files at all exist in the game for their regular versions).
Three versions of Sylvain are present in ''Heroes'', both based on his appearance in Part&nbsp;I of ''Three Houses''. Sylvain was first made available to be summoned by players on July 8, 2020 in a special summer variation as part of the summoning event surrounding the launch of the [[Overseas Memories]] update. The normal variant of Sylvain was added in the [[World of the Past]] update, and was first available to summon from April 17 to May 8 of 2023. A spring variation of Sylvain was added on March 6, 2024, and was first available to summon from then to February 6, 2024.

While he enjoys the company of women, he also despises how so many of them are only interested in him because of his Crest.

Sylvain acts as an older brother-like figure to the other students, but his fondness for sweet-talking girls causes him trouble. While he enjoys the company of women, he also despises how so many of them are only interested in him because of his Crest. His flirtatious ways belie his shrewd, perceptive mind, and he's a lot better at reading people than he lets on. He jokes around more frequently than most other Officers Academy students.


As he is childhood friends with Felix, Ingrid and Dimitri he shares a deep bond with them and expresses his unhappiness if forced to fight them. Despite his flirty and easygoing nature he does this  behavior stems from the fact that he feels unable to form proper romances, and so he dates around without any particular commitment and can only truly commit to love with women he deeply trust such as Dorothea and Ingrid.  
As he is childhood friends with Felix, Ingrid and Dimitri, he shares a deep bond with them and expresses his unhappiness if forced to fight them. Despite his flirty and easygoing nature, he struggles to develop any deep romantic relationships, and he can only truly commit to love with women he really trusts, like Dorothea and Ingrid.


Despite the impression he gives off to people he's actually quite intelligent, being shown to easily grasp complicated magic formulas at a glance in his supports with Annette. In his supports with Dedue, Sylvain explains his suspicions behind the Tragedy of Duscur, as Duscur and Faerghus had enjoyed good relations up until that point and the fact that the king's elite guard was effortlessly slaughtered, a feat not plausible for a smaller, less skilled military. Sylvain explains that he intentionally leads people to think he is not very smart because he dislikes the pressure of people's expectations and them believing they know what he is capable of, saying he finds it suffocating.

So why would our old friends from Duscur just up and assassinate our king? It doesn't make sense. Sure, there are probably folks from Duscur who don't like Faerghus.

Sylvain hates the way crests influence the lives of those in Fódlan, as his brother Miklan was born without one and held deep resentment against Sylvain for having one, even throwing him down a well at one point. Despite all of this, Sylvain doesn't hold resentment towards his brother and expresses that he could have ended up just like him if Miklan was born with a crest instead of Sylvain. Furthermore, he holds most women in contempt, as he believes they show interest in him solely due to his Crest in an attempt to curry favor with him without actually getting to know him. Despite this, in conversations with Byleth, Sylvain admits that hating women is merely an "easy answer" and seems to recognize that he cannot blame them for all his problems.
Sylvain hates the way crests influence the lives of those in Fódlan, as his brother Miklan was born without one. He held deep resentment against Sylvain for having one, even throwing him down a well at one point, or leaving him on the side of a mountain in the middle of winter. Despite all of this, Sylvain doesn't hold resentment towards his brother and expresses that he could have ended up just like him if Miklan was born with a crest instead of Sylvain. Furthermore, he holds most women in contempt, as he believes they show interest in him solely due to his Crest in an attempt to curry favor with him, without actually getting to know who he is. However, in conversations with Byleth, Sylvain admits that hating women is merely an "easy answer" and seems to recognize that he cannot blame them for all his problems.


After the war ends Sylvain is stated to have convinced the nobles of his teritory to get rid of the crest system and is also stated to have treated all of his children equally (in some endings his heir not bearing a crest).
After the war ends, Sylvain is stated to have convinced the nobles of his territory to place less value on the Crests by easing tensions with Sreng, thereby nullifying their necessity. He's also stated to have treated all of his children equally no matter if they had a Crest or not, and in some endings, his heir does not bear a Crest.<ref>{{Cite|The couple built a loving home life, surrounded by happy children, and when Sylvain at last passed away, he was succeeded by his oldest child, who bore no Crest.|Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights & [[Mercedes]], Benevolent Soul ending|Three Houses}}</ref>

As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of the Sreng region. With oration alone, he succeeded in helping to create a new way of life for nobles in which Relics and Crests were no longer viewed as necessary. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, it nevertheless became customary to refer to cheaters as "sons of Gautier."

'''Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights''' (Silver Snow, Verdant Wind)<br>
After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced her marriage to Sylvain, who had become the new Margrave Gautier. Sylvain was a valued ally who assisted his wife in her new role, both publicly and privately. Most of all, it is said that his cunning manner of speech was a great asset for fostering relations between the Church of Seiros, Fódlan, and surrounding regions. Though known as a philanderer in youth, Sylvain happily settled down after marriage and became a gentle and devoted husband and father. The two had many children whom they doted on equally, regardless of whether or not they bore a crest.

'''Byleth, Guardian of Order & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights''' (Azure Moon)<br>
After becoming the new archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced her marriage to Sylvain, heir to House Gautier. Sylvain was a valued ally who assisted his wife in her new role, both publicly and privately. He achieved a great deal, including fostering relations with Faerghus and helping to institute sweeping organizational changes within the church. Though known as a philanderer in his youth, Sylvain happily settled down after marriage. By the time he inherited the title of Margrave Gautier, he was a gentle and devoted husband. It is said that those who knew him in his youth wondered what sort of spell the archbishop had cast on him.
'''Byleth, Wings of the Hegemon & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights''' (Crimson Flower)<br>
When the fighting was over, Byleth and Sylvain were married. As the new leaders of House Gautier, they focused their efforts on the restoration of northern Fódlan, which had been deeply scarred by the ravages of war. Once this task was complete, they set their sights on improving relations with the Sreng people in an effort to remove the perceived need for the power of Crests. This accomplishment took a great deal of hard work, but the two refused to give up on their ideals. In time, the two had a large and loving family. They lived happily and loved their children equally, regardless of whether or not they bore a Crest.

'''Dorothea, Devoted Heart & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights'''<br>
After more than 10 proposals, Dorothea finally relented and agreed to marry Sylvain. Together they inherited Gautier territory. With the support of his wife's counsel, the new Margrave Gautier was able to improve relations with the Sreng people, and thereby convince the local nobles that Relics and Crests were no longer an absolute requirement for survival. Due to their efforts, they went down in history as an extraordinary lord and lady. It is said that what finally convinced Dorothea to marry Sylvain was his promise that they would grow old happily together, and that he was true to his word.

'''Byleth, Guardian of Order & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights'''<br>
Even after the war's end, skirmishes continued to break out across Fódlan. Learning that there were still places where he could fight, Felix abandoned his noble title and chose to make a living with his sword. Decades later, he reunited briefly with Sylvain, who had need of his services as Margrave Gautier. Felix departed as soon as the job was finished, however, and the two never met again. Years later, a sword that was thought to have belonged to Felix arrived on Sylvain's doorstep.

After the war, Felix and Sylvain inherited their respective titles of Duke Fraldarius and Margrave Gautier, and set to work restoring the Kingdom. Each led a busy life, but that only seemed to enhance their friendship over the years. Each became known for making surprise visits to the estate of the other, in order to deliver the latest taunting in a friendly but relentless game of one-upmanship. It is said that, in their later years, they became so close that they passed away on the same day, as if conceding that one could not live without the other.

As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of Sreng. Under his leadership, nobles were persuaded that Relics and Crests were not necessary as they'd previously thought. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, he could not have done so without the constant support and counsel of his wife, Mercedes, whose wisdom and guidance brought prosperity to the people. The couple built a loving home life, surrounded by happy children, and when Sylvain at last passed away, he was succeeded by his oldest child, who bore no Crest.

|blurb1=Sylvain, consummate ladies’ man of the Blue Lion House, is making a splash in his swimsuit outfit! True to form, he’s gone for a wild, mischievous style.
|blurb2=But even when he’s in his beachwear, his rakish sense of style still comes through loud and clear. Check out the fashionable sunglasses and necklace he’s wearing!
|blurb3=Sylvain’s not used to such hot weather, so he’s brought a cold drink along with him. I’m glad to see he’s staying hydrated…he could use some cooling down.
|blurb4=In typical Sylvain fashion, he’s been doing the rounds on the beach, chatting to every pretty young lady he sees. He’d better not get too carried away though, or else he’ll have to answer to Ingrid and the professors!

|blurb2=The incorrigible Sylvain can’t resist an opportunity to show off for the ladies—a quirk that often earns him the ire of his old friend Ingrid.
|blurb3=But despite his flippant demeanor, Sylvain is surprisingly good at picking up on what others are really thinking. It seems his sensitive soul is the product of a troubled life at home…
|blurb4=There’s a vulnerable person behind that breezy smile—kind of an attractive quality, if you ask me! (Don’t take that as an invitation, Sylvain.)

Sylvain Jose Gautier (pronounced /⁠sɪl'veɪn hoʊ'zeɪ 'ɡɑtieɪ⁠/[key]; Japanese: シルヴァン=ジョゼ=ゴーティエ Sylvain José Gautier) is a Crest-bearing scion of House Gautier, second son of its then-margrave Matthias Raoul Gautier, younger brother of Miklan, and a good friend of fellow nobles Dimitri, Felix, and Ingrid. In 1180, he enrolled in the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery and joined the Blue Lions house alongside his friends.

Sylvain is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Additionally, he is also a playable character in the spinoff titles Fire Emblem Heroes and Warriors: Three Hopes.

Biography

Sylvain is the second son of the house of Gautier. During his childhood, he was abused by his elder brother Miklan, who deeply resented him due to his own lack of a Crest making him ineligible to inherit the margravate.[citation needed] Eventually, Miklan was disinherited and left House Gautier.[citation needed] In 1180, he enrolled in the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery and joined the Blue Lions, studying and fighting alongside them. During this time, Miklan steals the Lance of Ruin from House Gautier and is tracked down and slain by Church forces, potentially including Sylvain himself.

After the timeskip, if Sylvain is a member of Byleth's class, he returns to Garreg Mach on the day of the millennium festival and accompanies them throughout the war. If not recruited on the Verdant Wind route, he reunites with Dimitri and fights alongside him in the Battle at Gronder, and can be circumvented or slain at the player's discretion. If not recruited on the Crimson Flower route, he fights alongside Dimitri at the Tailtean Plains, and is slain by Imperial forces. Sylvain makes no appearances in the story on the Silver Snow route, but it is most likely he's one of the many casualties of the Battle at Gronder.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Role

Sylvain is a starting playable character for the Blue Lions route, a recruitable unit on the Black Eagles and Golden Deer routes and a recurring enemy should he not be recruited during Part I.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Sylvain is a physically-oriented unit with great offenses and good physical bulk. His base stats while not excellent, are solid, lacking any clear weakness, and with Tempest Lance at base he can deal major damage immediately from recruitment. On top of solid bases, Sylvain has great growths in speed, HP, Defense, and charm and a good growth in strength, meaning that as the game progresses, Sylvain will end up with respectable physical bulk on par with Dimitri which will allow him to survive double attacks from the fastest enemies on maddening. Sylvain's personal skill of Philanderer, which gives -2 to damage taken and +2 to damage output when next to a female unit, also boosts his bulk in the early game allowing him to tank hits for more vulnerable allies in the early game. Upon achieving an A-rank in lances, Sylvain will obtain one of the best combat arts in the game: Swift Strikes. This is one of the few combat arts with a brave-effect meaning it makes a guaranteed follow-up attack, and Sylvain is one of three units able to obtain this art alongside Ferdinand and Seteth. With a strong-enough lance, this combat art allows Sylvain to one-round nearly any enemy. Swift Strikes even retains the effective damage bonus of the Horseslayer and Blessed Lance allowing Sylvain to tear through nearly any enemy horseback unit or monster.

Sylvain possesses a minor Crest of Gautier which grants him a 40% chance to raise might by five when using a combat art. Like nearly all crest effects, the proc rate is not reliable though it has great synergy with Swift Strikes. Since the combat art hits twice consecutively, the Crest of Gautier effect has a 64% chance of procing on at least one of the hits, meaning that the effect will proc when using Swift Strikes more often than not, further bolstering Sylvain's impressive ability to consistently one-round enemies. Sylvain's crest also allows him to use Ruined Sky, the Lance of Ruin's exclusive combat art. The art grants a great bonus to might (+13) and deals bonus damage to dragons and flying units, however, any bonuses to might it grants pales in comparison to using Swift Strikes with the relic lance—which grants an effective +24 to might provided the second hit lands—and since both arts consume the same amount of durability, Swift Strikes is the superior option.

Sylvain has a Budding Talent in Reason, which will give him Black Magic Avo +20, increasing his avoid while equipped with black magic. To be able to make use of this ability to strengthen his dodge-tanking, he needs to be classed as a magic-wielding class. Though the Budding Talent can make the process of promoting into a Dark Knight easier, and Sylvain himself has some very strong and useful spells at his disposal, such as Ragnarok, Seraphim, and Physic, his magical prowess is average at best, as his growth in magic, while higher in comparison to other non-mage units, is mediocre.

Sylvain's best promotion pathways revolve around capitalizing on the amazing damage output of Swift Strikes. In order to focus on obtaining Swift Strikes as soon as possible, promote Sylvain into a Soldier, then Cavalier, then end in Paladin. Since Paladin has Lancefaire and the highest strength class modifier and movement out of all horse-mounted classes, the Paladin class is one of Sylvain's best final classes. When following the above promotion path, make sure to give Sylvain Death Blow by mastering the Brigand class as obtaining the skill translates to as much as twelve more damage when using Swift Strikes. Sylvain can also follow the promotion pathway of Fighter to Brigand, master for Death Blow, then Wyvern Rider, ending in Wyvern Lord. The best physically-oriented class in the game is undoubtedly the Wyvern Lord as it has the best strength and speed modifiers and Canto bolstered by the peerless movement of flying units; though, with Sylvain, the case can also be made for Paladin being a better option. While the Wyvern Lord class has generally superior combat and movement, Paladins have Lancefaire as a class skill, making the strength class modifier for Paladin an effective +7 as opposed to the Wyvern Lord's +4. Furthermore, Paladins, in being landbound units, can equip guard adjutants, giving Paladins a safer enemy phase, and have access to all Battalions in the game. There's also nothing stopping him from getting both classes and switching between the two as dictated by map layout; for example, the penultimate map of Azure Moon is in a city with lots of buildings that Wyvern Lord can fly over, while the final map is an indoor map in a castle where flight is low-impact. Promoting Sylvain to a Dark Knight will grant him an alternative yet significantly weaker offensive option in magic at the cost of making him lose a point of movement and decreasing his damage output with lances by six. As mentioned earlier, Sylvain's excellent physical combat prowess means that it greatly overshadows his performance in magical-oriented classes by way of his great physical growths and Swift Strikes.

Out-of-House Performance

Sylvain holds the unique distinction of being the easiest unit to recruit outside of the Blue Lions. As long as you picked a female Byleth at the beginning of the game, Sylvain can be recruited during the first exploration session in Chapter 2. Since he essentially has no recruitment cost, Sylvain can be considered one of your starting units in any route and be trained accordingly. Sylvain's personal skill also has great synergy with Hilda and Leonie's personal skills, Hilda's giving Sylvain +5 damage output in conjunction with his own personal skill and Leonie's allowing the two to boost each other. An additional perk of an early recruitment of Sylvain is that it allows you to keep the Lance of Ruin by refusing to return it to Rhea after Chapter 5, giving you a 22-might weapon to bring to your next encounter with the Death Knight, where it can be used to reliably one-shot him when used with Knightkneeler, and to Gronder Field without playing Sylvain's paralogue, which unlocks at the beginning of Chapter 7. On the other hand, if you picked male Byleth in the beginning, Sylvain's standards for out-of-house recruitment are far more stringent, demanding a high level of charm and proficiency in Reason, a proficiency only helpful for Byleth if you plan to keep him in the Enlightened One class, if you are playing Black Eagles and also seek to recruit Lorenz, or if you are a Golden Deer wanting to recruit Linhardt. These conditions make Sylvain more difficult to recruit before the main map of Chapter 5, potentially making you miss out on a great advantage to recruiting him. Moreover, the other routes have easier access to a Swift Strikes-user—the Black Eagles have Ferdinand while the Golden Deer automatically recruit Seteth for free at the end of Part I—making recruiting Sylvain not strictly necessary.

FERK Athos.png

It has been requested that references(s) be placed in this page or section. Please submit references to help improve this page and talk on this page's talk page about what references are needed. Remove this when this has been fixed.

Sylvain acts as an older brother-like figure to the other students, but his fondness for sweet-talking girls causes him trouble. While he enjoys the company of women, he also despises how so many of them are only interested in him because of his Crest. His flirtatious ways belie his shrewd, perceptive mind, and he's a lot better at reading people than he lets on. He jokes around more frequently than most other Officers Academy students.

As he is childhood friends with Felix, Ingrid and Dimitri, he shares a deep bond with them and expresses his unhappiness if forced to fight them. Despite his flirty and easygoing nature, he struggles to develop any deep romantic relationships, and he can only truly commit to love with women he really trusts, like Dorothea and Ingrid.

Despite the impression he gives off to people he's actually quite intelligent, being shown to easily grasp complicated magic formulas at a glance in his supports with Annette. In his supports with Dedue, Sylvain explains his suspicions behind the Tragedy of Duscur, as Duscur and Faerghus had enjoyed good relations up until that point and the fact that the king's elite guard was effortlessly slaughtered, a feat not plausible for a smaller, less skilled military.[4] Sylvain explains that he intentionally leads people to think he is not very smart because he dislikes the pressure of people's expectations and them believing they know what he is capable of, saying he finds it suffocating.

Sylvain hates the way crests influence the lives of those in Fódlan, as his brother Miklan was born without one. He held deep resentment against Sylvain for having one, even throwing him down a well at one point, or leaving him on the side of a mountain in the middle of winter. Despite all of this, Sylvain doesn't hold resentment towards his brother and expresses that he could have ended up just like him if Miklan was born with a crest instead of Sylvain. Furthermore, he holds most women in contempt, as he believes they show interest in him solely due to his Crest in an attempt to curry favor with him, without actually getting to know who he is. However, in conversations with Byleth, Sylvain admits that hating women is merely an "easy answer" and seems to recognize that he cannot blame them for all his problems.

After the war ends, Sylvain is stated to have convinced the nobles of his territory to place less value on the Crests by easing tensions with Sreng, thereby nullifying their necessity. He's also stated to have treated all of his children equally no matter if they had a Crest or not, and in some endings, his heir does not bear a Crest.[5]

Endings

Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (single ending)
As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of the Sreng region. With oration alone, he succeeded in helping to create a new way of life for nobles in which Relics and Crests were no longer viewed as necessary. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, it nevertheless became customary to refer to cheaters as "sons of Gautier."

Byleth, Wandering Flame/Ruler of Dawn & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (Silver Snow, Verdant Wind)
After ascending the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan, Byleth announced her marriage to Sylvain, who had become the new Margrave Gautier. Sylvain was a valued ally who assisted his wife in her new role, both publicly and privately. Most of all, it is said that his cunning manner of speech was a great asset for fostering relations between the Church of Seiros, Fódlan, and surrounding regions. Though known as a philanderer in youth, Sylvain happily settled down after marriage and became a gentle and devoted husband and father. The two had many children whom they doted on equally, regardless of whether or not they bore a crest.

Byleth, Guardian of Order & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (Azure Moon)
After becoming the new archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Byleth announced her marriage to Sylvain, heir to House Gautier. Sylvain was a valued ally who assisted his wife in her new role, both publicly and privately. He achieved a great deal, including fostering relations with Faerghus and helping to institute sweeping organizational changes within the church. Though known as a philanderer in his youth, Sylvain happily settled down after marriage. By the time he inherited the title of Margrave Gautier, he was a gentle and devoted husband. It is said that those who knew him in his youth wondered what sort of spell the archbishop had cast on him.

Byleth, Wings of the Hegemon & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (Crimson Flower)
When the fighting was over, Byleth and Sylvain were married. As the new leaders of House Gautier, they focused their efforts on the restoration of northern Fódlan, which had been deeply scarred by the ravages of war. Once this task was complete, they set their sights on improving relations with the Sreng people in an effort to remove the perceived need for the power of Crests. This accomplishment took a great deal of hard work, but the two refused to give up on their ideals. In time, the two had a large and loving family. They lived happily and loved their children equally, regardless of whether or not they bore a Crest.

Dorothea, Devoted Heart & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights
After more than 10 proposals, Dorothea finally relented and agreed to marry Sylvain. Together they inherited Gautier territory. With the support of his wife's counsel, the new Margrave Gautier was able to improve relations with the Sreng people, and thereby convince the local nobles that Relics and Crests were no longer an absolute requirement for survival. Due to their efforts, they went down in history as an extraordinary lord and lady. It is said that what finally convinced Dorothea to marry Sylvain was his promise that they would grow old happily together, and that he was true to his word.

Felix, Meandering Sword & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (Silver Snow, Verdant Wind, Crimson Flower)
Even after the war's end, skirmishes continued to break out across Fódlan. Learning that there were still places where he could fight, Felix abandoned his noble title and chose to make a living with his sword. Decades later, he reunited briefly with Sylvain, who had need of his services as Margrave Gautier. Felix departed as soon as the job was finished, however, and the two never met again. Years later, a sword that was thought to have belonged to Felix arrived on Sylvain's doorstep.

Felix, The Shield's Successor & Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights (Azure Moon)
After the war, Felix and Sylvain inherited their respective titles of Duke Fraldarius and Margrave Gautier, and set to work restoring the Kingdom. Each led a busy life, but that only seemed to enhance their friendship over the years. Each became known for making surprise visits to the estate of the other, in order to deliver the latest taunting in a friendly but relentless game of one-upmanship. It is said that, in their later years, they became so close that they passed away on the same day, as if conceding that one could not live without the other.

Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights & Mercedes, Benevolent Soul
As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of Sreng. Under his leadership, nobles were persuaded that Relics and Crests were not necessary as they'd previously thought. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, he could not have done so without the constant support and counsel of his wife, Mercedes, whose wisdom and guidance brought prosperity to the people. The couple built a loving home life, surrounded by happy children, and when Sylvain at last passed away, he was succeeded by his oldest child, who bore no Crest.

Sylvain, Sincerest of Knights & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight
As Margrave Gautier, Sylvain devoted his life to improving relations with the people of Sreng. Under his leadership, nobles were persuaded that Relics and Crests were not necessary as they'd previously thought. Though he went down in history as an extraordinary lord, he could not have done so without the constant support and counsel of his wife, Ingrid, whose wisdom and tenacity ensured that the people would prosper. Sylvain was ever loyal to his beloved wife. The couple had many children, and while not one of them bore a Crest, they were all equally and wholeheartedly loved.

Sylvain (if Sylvain was defeated in Part I in Classic Mode)
Fell in combat with another army after the battle of Garreg Mach. He was unable to make the promised meeting.

Sylvain, consummate ladies’ man of the Blue Lion House, is making a splash in his swimsuit outfit! True to form, he’s gone for a wild, mischievous style. But even when he’s in his beachwear, his rakish sense of style still comes through loud and clear. Check out the fashionable sunglasses and necklace he’s wearing! Sylvain’s not used to such hot weather, so he’s brought a cold drink along with him. I’m glad to see he’s staying hydrated…he could use some cooling down. In typical Sylvain fashion, he’s been doing the rounds on the beach, chatting to every pretty young lady he sees. He’d better not get too carried away though, or else he’ll have to answer to Ingrid and the professors!
