Biography
Kagetsu is a royal castle soldier of Elusia and a retainer to Princess Ivy.[1] He was born in a secluded region in the Pale Sands in Solm, and was the successor to the head of a high-ranking noble family.[2] He left his home and traveled to Elusia in search of strong opponents and to learn more about the outside world.[2]

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Kagetsu is arguably the single best physical unit in Fire Emblem Engage. Coming in with 17 Strength and 22 Speed, he can already one-round enemies, even in Maddening. Swordmaster is unfortunately a poor base class, but Bow Knight and Wyvern Knight are both excellent choices that will make him a massive boon to any player, with little to no investment.
His bases and growths require little explanation, with his mediocre strength being his only issue. A reclass into Bow Knight or Wyvern Knight (when Ike joins) can mitigate his strength woes, while keeping his high Speed and Dexterity.
Emblem wise, Kagetsu can use almost every non-magic focused emblem in the game. Marth is taken at an unfortunate time, but Kagetsu can use him late game to allow him to easily quadruple if he breaks. For the midgame, Ike is probably his best option. His only OK bulk is boosted with Ike's buffs, letting him take a surprising amount of attacks on decent dodges without engaging, and Great Aether can shred coming off his high Strength. Lyn can be useful for her speed-stacking buffs, as well, but in many cases that is overkill. Erika is great as well, giving him extra damage and self-sustain, plus a powerful engage attack. In complete honesty, Kagetsu will excel no matter what emblem he chooses.
Overall, Kagetsu is one of the strongest physical units in Engage, and one of the best in the game.

Personality
Kagetsu is bright, energetic, and friendly.[1] Though some people perceive his affability to be ingenuine at times, he is honest with his feelings and does his utmost to be a fair person.[2] He loves to battle against powerful opponents both on and off the battlefield, desiring to challenge Diamant and Timerra in friendly competitions[3]. Since his mother was a shrine maiden, Kagetsu has the ability to predict the future, though his predictions are often trivial, such as being able to foresee upcoming weather.[2] He loves onigiri the most out of all soldiers in the army.[2]

Am I truly so different in this world? Corrupted Ivy: What a miserable wretch you are. Not a single genuine smile for me, ever. No matter how I might try to curry your favor, you always despised me.
