“ | Traps and I are destined for each other. If I go hiking in the mountains, I fall into traps left for wildlife... I always get hung up in fishing nets when I'm crossing rivers... I even fall into the small holes that children dig for fun in towns. | ” | — Setsuna, detailing her habit of falling into traps to Corrin. |

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Setsuna is the first Archer recruited in Birthright and the second one recruited in Revelation. She comes with fairly mediocre bases in both routes she joins in and her growths are rather balanced, mostly focused on speed and skill. Setsuna is rather unremarkable at base and as such is hard to level up without favoritism. Still, she can one shot fliers in chapter 11 of Birthright at base and can early promote in Revelation to help fix her bases. However, Setsuna's main use is her utility as a pair up bot, giving a very high boost in speed. Setsuna joins with the skills Optimistic, Skill +2 and Quick Draw in Revelations. Optimistic is an okay skill for a frail unit like Setsuna, increasing the healing amount by 1.5x, but doesn't help her contribute much in combat as she will mostly be chipping away at enemies at a distance and try to avoid enemies due to being locked to 2 range. Skill +2 is useful in the earlygame to boost her raliability, but falls off later in the game. Quick Draw is a useful skill which helps to fix Setsuna's poor strength. Setsuna has the option between promoting into a Sniper or Kinshi Knight. Sniper mostly keeps Setsuna the same with improving her skill growth and allowing her to reach S rank in Yumis/Bows, Kinshi Knight gives her mostly useless access to lances and very valuable flying utility giving her the ability to ferry units around which goes nicely in her aformentioned use as a pair up bot. While in Sniper she learns Certain Blow and Bowfaire, Certain Blow is often time overkill as Setsuna has good enough skill to hit consistently and is only really useful against enemies with weapon triangle adavntage over her, Bowfaire is an excellent skill that helps fix Setsuna's low strength. While in Kinshi Knight she learns Air Superiority and Amaterasu. Air Superiority gives Setsuna more reliability and dodgetanking potential against flying enemies, while Amaterasu gives her a bit of healing utility which isn't to useful as she will mostly be away from other player units due to her high movement and flying utility.
Setsuna is pretty bad in Birthright. She joins with mediocre bases, with a low base level of 3 in an enemy phase heavy game such as Birthright. Because of the poor quality of most enemies in Birthright, but the high enemy quantity the lack of an enemy phase significantly hurts Setsuna and aside from picking off a few flier she will have a hard time securing kills and thus a hard time gaining levels. Another issue is that Takumi joins only 2 chapters after Setsuna and he's significantly better than her in almost every way, besides resistance and speed both of which are far easier to fix than Setsuna's problem. Revelations isn't much kinder to Setsuna as she comes with bad bases and while she can early promote, it doesn't make her much more useful. Along with that, Takumi has been playable for much longer than Setsuna and is likely promoted already, not to mention how the players main party is mostly promoted by this point, along with bot Leo and Xander joining next chapter who are significantly better than Setsuna. Setsuna's poor bases are a real shame as due to the significantly bulkier enemies of Revelations, she could've had somewhat of a nieche.
On the subject of reclassing, Setsuna can reclass into the Ninja class. While it does decrease her already low strenght and bulk, it gives her reliable 1-2 range whic is a rarity in Fates and thus makes it a good class for her. She can also promote into a Master Ninja and her low strength won't be an issue due to the combination of Shurikenfaire, Poison Strike, the debuffing effect of Shurikens and the ability to proc Lethality. Not to mention Locktouch giving her aditional utility. Mechanist does keep Setsuna's bow rank and gives her access to the very valuable skill Replicate, but Master Ninja is considered the superior choice overall.
Overall, Setsuna isn't a very good unit in either route she's in. She suffers from low bases, poorly distributed growths, lack of an enemy phase and competition which outlcasses her few nieches. She can be useful by reclassing her into a Ninja or using her as a pair up bot, but aside from that she isn't worth deploying most of the time.
