===Analysis=== | |||
{{analysis}} | |||
Alva joins in Chapter 9 and is extremely underleveled for his join time. With only level 2, putting him far away from promotion, and abysmal base stats for his join time, Alva requires significant investment to catch up with other units. He can only use lances outdoors and only swords indoors, preventing him from manipulating the weapon triangle. His weapon ranks are also very low; indoors, he is restricted to D rank swords, which is better than Cain's E rank, but his lance weapon rank is E, although he's close to getting a D rank. This prevents him from using stronger weapons to circumvent his low stats, making it even harder to train him. | |||
Compared to Cain, he has better bases and growths in speed, skill and luck, but less strength, defense and HP. Since he has access to Steel Swords from the beginning, he does slightly better than him on indoors maps, but worse on outdoor maps. His growths are decent, but he relies on them, has no skills nor action stars and his FCM is only 1, so he can't crit reliably. | |||
If Alva receives the significant investment he needs, he can grow into a competent combat unit. However, he requires more work than most other units in the game, while not offering anything unique to compensate. Without favoritism, he is extremely underwhelming and typically benched at the first opportunity. | |||

Analysis

Alva joins in Chapter 9 and is extremely underleveled for his join time. With only level 2, putting him far away from promotion, and abysmal base stats for his join time, Alva requires significant investment to catch up with other units. He can only use lances outdoors and only swords indoors, preventing him from manipulating the weapon triangle. His weapon ranks are also very low; indoors, he is restricted to D rank swords, which is better than Cain's E rank, but his lance weapon rank is E, although he's close to getting a D rank. This prevents him from using stronger weapons to circumvent his low stats, making it even harder to train him.
Compared to Cain, he has better bases and growths in speed, skill and luck, but less strength, defense and HP. Since he has access to Steel Swords from the beginning, he does slightly better than him on indoors maps, but worse on outdoor maps. His growths are decent, but he relies on them, has no skills nor action stars and his FCM is only 1, so he can't crit reliably.
If Alva receives the significant investment he needs, he can grow into a competent combat unit. However, he requires more work than most other units in the game, while not offering anything unique to compensate. Without favoritism, he is extremely underwhelming and typically benched at the first opportunity.
