'''Iuchar''' (Japanese: {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|ヨハン|Yohan}} ''Johan'') is the middle son of Duke [[Danann]] of [[Dozel]]. Along with his younger brother [[Iucharba]], he served his father in the [[Grannvale]] occupation of [[Isaach]], presiding over Isaach Castle. He came into conflict with his family over the rise of [[Seliph]]'s liberation army in Isaach, or rather over [[Larcei]]/[[Creidne]], one of its warriors.

==Biography==
==Biography==
When [[Seliph]] commenced his fight to liberate Isaach, at first Iuchar and his axe cavalry unit remained stationed as a defensive perimeter surrounding Isaach Castle; once Ganeishire fell to Seliph, the order came through from Danann for both him and [[Iucharba]] to attack, to which Iuchar agreed despite his misgivings about fighting [[Larcei]]. Upon encountering Larcei, he was swayed to side with Seliph's army, provoking Iucharba; otherwise, when Iucharba was recruited to Seliph's side, Iuchar was provoked by him getting to Larcei/Creidne first, and died in battle with Seliph's army.

Iuchar is playable character in the second generation. In [[Heir of Light|Chapter&nbsp;6]], Iuchar appears as the commander of [[Isaach#Isaach Castle|Isaach]]. Iuchar, along with the Isaach army, initally appear as neutral units. Once [[Ganeishire]] is seized, they will turn into enemy units. Iuchar is recruited when [[talk]]ed to by [[Larcei]]/Creidne, causing the Isaach army and [[castle]] to become partner. Iuchar is mutally exclusive with [[Iucharba]]: recruiting Iuchar will make Larcei/Creidne unable to recruit Iucharba, and recruiting Iucharba will make Larcei/Creine unable to recruit Iuchar.

===Analysis===

{{Analysis}}
Unfortunately, both Iuchar and [[Iucharba]] have the same trait that makes [[substitute character]]s looked down upon by hardcore players of {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|Genealogy of the Holy War}}: they cannot inherit items or skills, and their bases (outside of special events) are set in stone. Fortunately, a defining trait of ''Genealogy'' is that every unit contributes one way or another in a playthrough, so the real question is which descendant of Nál to choose.
Iuchar joins with decent base stats and a mount but unfortunately can only use axes and does not have [[Follow-Up]]. His growths will be worse than any child character, and his performance overall resembles a substitute character. Even if he gets the contested [[Follow-Up Ring]], he will suffer from the high weight and low accuracy of axes. Fortunately, he can easily get the Brave Axe, and the only other character who might want to use it is Leif, who has many other choices for strong weapons. Overall though, Iuchar is a mediocre combat unit whose main strength is his ability to keep up with the rest of the army.
 
Some consider Iuchar to be superior due to the large size of maps and consequently, the value of having a mount and [[Canto]], neither of which Iucharba has. Such would allow Iuchar to fight on the front lines along with the other mounted units, while Iucharba would typically arrive at battle late with the rest of the infantry. However, Iuchar also joins in the same chapter as do [[Lester]] and [[Diarmuid]], who, if planned well, can easily outshine Iuchar (unless one opts instead for [[Deimne]] or [[Tristan]], respectively). So while mounted units are well-acclaimed, there does exist competition that Iuchar must inevitably face in this aspect.


Perhaps Iucharba's true niche lies in the facility that many experienced players use prior to heading out: the [[Arena#Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War|arena]]. In terms of ranked runs, it matters not ''how'' a unit gains experience, but rather, ''whether or not'' a unit gains experience. Iucharba's base stats are marginally higher than those of Iuchar, and upon promotion, Iucharba gains access to bows, which serve as a subtle quality-of-life improvement when facing a difficult opponent. But, as mentioned before in Iuchar's case, the lack of direct inheritance means that Iucharba will have difficulty comparing to other well-planned infantry units.
====Comparison to [[Iucharba]]====
Compared to his brother, Iucharba, Iuchar has a massive advantage in his mount. This means that he can keep up with the rest of the mounts, while Iucharba lags behind. Iucharba's only advantages over Iuchar are marginally better stats and access to bows, but neither of these are as impactful as Iuchar's consistent movement advantage as neither unit will be particularly strong in combat. In a ranked run, Iucharba's better combat means he can get through the arena better so he is arguably better, but Iuchar will still contribute better on the field, so Iucharba is only the better pick when the player has already decided that neither unit is worth using. Other small details to note include that while Iuchar's growths favor speed, Iucharba's growths favor skill.


Other small details to note include that while Iuchar's growths favor speed, Iucharba's growths favor skill. Also, some players wish to recruit Iucharba before seizing [[Heir of Light#Isaach|Isaach]], so as to lower turn counts, obtain [[Nosferatu]] to make a [[Julia]] viable for combat, and prevent [[Schmidt]] from attacking Isaach first. At the end of the day, it boils down to personal preference.
Note that it is possible to recruit Iuchar and obtain Nosferatu by letting the allied unit on Issach Castle die to the enemy forces, seizing the castle, and then talking to Julia.

Your words are as the sweetest birdsong! Your eyes are as the most brilliant stars! Oh, without you at my side, what purpose is there in life? What joy could possibly be?
— Iuchar, on Larcei/Creidne

Iuchar (Japanese: ヨハン Johan) is the middle son of Duke Danann of Dozel. Along with his younger brother Iucharba, he served his father in the Grannvale occupation of Isaach, presiding over Isaach Castle. He came into conflict with his family over the rise of Seliph's liberation army in Isaach, or rather over Larcei/Creidne, one of its warriors.

Biography

When Seliph commenced his fight to liberate Isaach, at first Iuchar and his axe cavalry unit remained stationed as a defensive perimeter surrounding Isaach Castle; once Ganeishire fell to Seliph, the order came through from Danann for both him and Iucharba to attack, to which Iuchar agreed despite his misgivings about fighting Larcei. Upon encountering Larcei, he was swayed to side with Seliph's army, provoking Iucharba; otherwise, when Iucharba was recruited to Seliph's side, Iuchar was provoked by him getting to Larcei/Creidne first, and died in battle with Seliph's army.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

Role

Iuchar is playable character in the second generation. In Chapter 6, Iuchar appears as the commander of Isaach. Iuchar, along with the Isaach army, initally appear as neutral units. Once Ganeishire is seized, they will turn into enemy units. Iuchar is recruited when talked to by Larcei/Creidne, causing the Isaach army and castle to become partner. Iuchar is mutally exclusive with Iucharba: recruiting Iuchar will make Larcei/Creidne unable to recruit Iucharba, and recruiting Iucharba will make Larcei/Creine unable to recruit Iuchar.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Iuchar joins with decent base stats and a mount but unfortunately can only use axes and does not have Follow-Up. His growths will be worse than any child character, and his performance overall resembles a substitute character. Even if he gets the contested Follow-Up Ring, he will suffer from the high weight and low accuracy of axes. Fortunately, he can easily get the Brave Axe, and the only other character who might want to use it is Leif, who has many other choices for strong weapons. Overall though, Iuchar is a mediocre combat unit whose main strength is his ability to keep up with the rest of the army.

Comparison to Iucharba

Compared to his brother, Iucharba, Iuchar has a massive advantage in his mount. This means that he can keep up with the rest of the mounts, while Iucharba lags behind. Iucharba's only advantages over Iuchar are marginally better stats and access to bows, but neither of these are as impactful as Iuchar's consistent movement advantage as neither unit will be particularly strong in combat. In a ranked run, Iucharba's better combat means he can get through the arena better so he is arguably better, but Iuchar will still contribute better on the field, so Iucharba is only the better pick when the player has already decided that neither unit is worth using. Other small details to note include that while Iuchar's growths favor speed, Iucharba's growths favor skill.

Note that it is possible to recruit Iuchar and obtain Nosferatu by letting the allied unit on Issach Castle die to the enemy forces, seizing the castle, and then talking to Julia.

Personality

Iuchar presented himself as something of a romantic, constantly speaking in floral prose, especially when talking to or about Larcei/Creidne, an ongoing object of affection for him.[1] He believed that constantly hovering her them was a way to express his love and to protect them, even though it actually greatly frustrated her.[2] A decent person unlike his father, he refused to follow through on performing the more heinous activities of the Grannvale occupation such as the child hunts.[3] For much of his life, Iuchar held a rivalry with Iucharba and the two constantly quarreled, fuelled partially by their mutual interest in Larcei/Creidne;[4] their rivalry ultimately resulted in the two going head to head as enemies.[5]
