Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Makalov is the last unpromoted cavalier to join. He has a lower base level and mediocre base stats for his join time, so his immediate uses are limited. He likely will not contribute much on his join chapter since he is out of the way, and his next chapter is a desert chapter, so the first real chapter he can contribute to is Chapter 16, which is around the time many units are about to promote (especially other cavaliers), so he needs significant BEXP investment to catch up. Furthermore, he is limited by being swordlocked so he lacks a good enemy phase. He is still a cavalier, so his high mobility and Canto makes him useful.
Makalov has the strongest growths out of the unpromoted cavaliers, having the highest Strength and Defense growths, and good growths in Skill and Speed. However, his weak base stats for his level limit him and it takes a while for his growths to kick in. He also has the worst Resistance growth among cavaliers, so he will be weak to magic. He truly shines upon promotion, where he can gain a stronger 1-2 range option, more mobility, and significant boosts to his stats. Axes are his best option, as they are the strongest weapon type, have 1-2 range, and he can use Steel Axes at E rank. Lances also provide a good 1-2 range option, and work as a nicer counter to sword users, but are weaker than axes and require a D rank to use Steel Lances. Bows give Makalov an accurate 2-range option and effective weapons on flying units, but weapon effectiveness is only x2, he is initially limited to Iron Bows, and will not have a solid 1-2 range weapon access, so this is his weakest option.
Makalov starts with the Tempest skill, which doubles the effects of his biorhythm. As swords are very accurate in the first place, this does not benefit him much, and will often harm him more if he uses lances or axes upon promotion, so it is recommended to remove it. As he has the best long-term Defense of the unpromoted cavaliers, Sol turns him into an even better tank. A Vantage+Guard combo is viable for him and his good Skill stat, as both skills are obtainable around his join time, though it is only most effective with a 1-2 range weapon equipped. For offensive skills, Adept, Wrath, and Resolve all work well for him due to good Skill and bulk, though there are other units that make better use of them.
Makalov has a Thunder affinity which gives an avoid and Defense boost, further boosting his defensive capabilities. All of his support partners have Wind affinities, so an A support with any of them will give both units +1 defense, +7 accuracy, and +15 avoid. Astrid is Makalov's best option, as they join near the same time, are the same class, and Astrid's other options are mediocre. Haar is another decent option, having similar mobility (though flying) and making him an even better tank. Bastian is Makalov's weakest option, as he is an extremely lategame Sage with low mobility.
