Shinon is a prepromoted sniper that joins early, leaves the party after Chapter 7, then rejoins in Chapter 19. He has decent base stats for earlygame, especially skill and speed, so he will be an accurate and strong 2-range attacker. He will also have high crit rates thanks to the sniper bonus and high skill (note that snipers do not get a crit bonus on the Japanese version). He can also tank quite a few hits for earlygame. However, he is permanently limited to 2-range thanks to bow-lock, severely limiting his good earlygame combat. | Shinon is a prepromoted sniper that joins early, leaves the party after Chapter 7, then rejoins in Chapter 19.

Shinon has some of the best growths in the game. However, it is rare to take advantage of them because he is a prepromote so his experience gain is low, and he leaves the party for over a third of the game. When the player can recruit him again (which requires fielding Ike and Rolf), it is very hard for him to contribute through lategame despite his good growths, because of bowlock, no mount, and relatively bad lategame base stats; a trained Astrid or Rolf will far surpass Shinon at this point. To his credit, lategame Shinon starts with A rank bows so he can use every bow in the game besides the Double Bow, alleviating his bad lategame strength by allowing him to immediately use Silver Bows without training. He also can use a Longbow, which only he and Rolf can. If given enough BEXP and kills for his stats to catch up with the rest of the team, Shinon can serve as a decent filler archer unit, especially if Rolf and/or Astrid have been killed in battle or insufficiently trained. | Shinon has some of the best growths in the game.
