Zeiss is a Wyvern Rider that joins in chapter 16 of the Binding Blade. He joins in a rather complicated chapter where it can be rather difficult to recruit him without putting some of your units in risk due to him attcking with a javelin through the wall. In normal mode his bases leave something to be desired, however his hard mode bonuses, are as beneficial to him as Milady's are, starting with a whopping 19 strength at level 7, as well as 39 HP and 15 defense. He joins a bit underleveled and will need to be feed some kills. Early promotion at level 10 is recommended for Zeiss due to him capping his strength very quickly and needing additional speed and skill to be an effective combat unit. Due to his D rank in lances the most powerful lance's he'll have access to are the rather inaccurate steel lances, giving him some significant accuracy issues and iron lances being to weak for this point in the game, but with the help of an early promotion giving him access to swords and a higher lance rank and a secret book or two these issues will largely disappear. Zeiss's growths are a bit unbalanced, granting him high strength, but lower speed. This is slightly unfortunate, as his strength advantage over other flyers tends to be over kill, as he'll probably have 20 strength at Level 8 unpromoted, making the growth useless for at least another 2 levels until potential promotion, and he will get to the moderate cap within a few levels of being a Wyvern Lord, but his speed, in contrast, may lag more than his strength will shine. Unless given several Speedwings Zeiss is also unlikely to double making his damage output often worse than faster units such as Milady, meaning that he will need to depent on a critical hit from killer weapons in order to one round enemies, because of this he makes great use of the brave lance as his doubling issues are made irrelevant by it. Another one of Zeiss' issues is his low resistance making him suceptible to enemy status staves and tomes even after using a pure water, as well as being weak to bows and ballistae. Zeiss constitution is his most unique characteristic allowing him to wield heavier lances with impunity, unlike Shanna and Thea, but since he is a male mounted unit, his aid is still higher, letting him rescue anyone with 15 or less con (14 after promotion). Zeiss also has good support options with Milady, as the two can keep up with each other, and their being the same class makes their role similar enough that they'll often be near each other.
Overall, Zeiss needs a lot of resources and help to get going and even after promotion he's unlikely to be a standout combat or utility unit, especially compared to other flyers such as Milady. However, Zeiss still has his uses due to canto, flying utility, great phyisical durability and 8 movement upon promotion.
