Halvan is often compared to [[Osian]] since they share availability and classes. But despite their frequent comparison, Halvan is considerably worse than Osian, lacking the [[Vouge]] and [[Wrath]]. Osain's main strength is his enemy phase, getting two guaranteed criticals against nearly every enemy at 1-2 range, something that Halvan cannot replicate. | Halvan is often compared to [[Osian]] since they share availability and classes.

Halvan receives the [[Brave Axe]] in Chapter 1, but anyone can use it - for example, [[Dagdar]]. That said, he can make use of [[Vantage]] combined with the Brave Axe. Since ''Thracia 776'' Vantage works even above 50% HP, all Halvan needs to do is enter enemy range. Then, he can kill 1-range enemies on enemy phase before they can damage him. | Halvan receives the [[Brave Axe]] in Chapter 1, but anyone can use it - for example, [[Dagdar]].

While Halvan's FCM of 4 is high, no high-crit axes are available early on. The [[Killer Axe]] is not realistically available until [[Yearning to Breathe Free|chapter 14x]] and is difficult to acquire even then. He can use a [[Battle Axe]] earlier in theory, but not only is it still difficult to obtain it requires Halvan to get to B in axes and isn't too reliable with only +10 crit. This is a problem for Halvan, because it prevents him from reaching 100% crit chance on the second attack, and he struggles to kill reliably without getting a crit. Halvan is only supported by [[Eyvel]], who becomes unavailable after the early game. He does not support anyone himself, either. | While Halvan's FCM of 4 is high, no high-crit axes are available early on.

This leads to another problem with Halvan - he has no effective way of dealing with low hit rates. Axes have some of the lowest hit rates in the game, and since his skill growth is low, low hit rates will become a problem for throughout the game. The player can boost Halvan's skill growth with Crusader Scrolls to mitigate this issue. Halvan is one of the best users of the Od Scroll obtained in chapter 6. It grants +30% skill growth, raising Halvan's growth from a low 20% to a good 50%. Having higher skill mitigates Halvan's accuracy problems and increases his crit rate. Every point of crit helps him use his FCM of 4 to its full potential. | This leads to another problem with Halvan - he has no effective way of dealing with low hit rates.

Overall, Halvan is a decent combat unit who can contribute, but doesn't add anything unique to the team. | Overall, Halvan is a decent combat unit who can contribute, but doesn't add anything unique to the team. | ||
