Zeiss is a [[Wyvern Rider]] that joins in [[Storming the Capital|Chapter 16]] of ''The Binding Blade''. He joins in a rather complicated chapter where it can be difficult to recruit him without putting some of your units at risk due to him attacking with a javelin through the wall. In normal mode, his bases leave something to be desired, but his hard mode bonuses are as beneficial to him as Melady's are, as he starts with 19 strength at level 7, as well as 39 HP and 15 defense | Zeiss is a [[Wyvern Rider]] that joins in [[Storming the Capital|Chapter 16]] of ''The Binding Blade''.

In normal mode, his bases leave something to be desired, but his hard mode bonuses are as beneficial to him as Melady's are, as he starts with ~19 strength at level 7, as well as ~39 HP and ~15 defense. | ||
He joins underleveled and will need to be fed some kills. The easiest way to get Zeiss of level 10 is through the [[Horseslayer]] obtained in [[The Ostian Revolt|Chapter 7]] if it hasn't broken yet. His high base strength lets him OHKO enemy cavaliers; with his low level, killing unpromoted enemies gets him over 50 experience, and promoted enemies yield even more. Given this, he can reach level 10 after roughly 6 kills. | |||
Early promotion at level 10 is recommended for Zeiss due to him capping his strength very quickly and needing additional speed and skill to be an effective combat unit. It takes him 6 level-ups on average to get the 2 speed his promotion gives him, so going beyond level 10 does not help with the stats he needs anyway. Due to how late he joins (only 12 chapters left), it is unlikely that he will reach level 20 after promotion before the last few chapters, if at all. | |||
Due to his initial D rank in lances, the most powerful lances he will have access to are rather inaccurate [[Steel Lance]]s, giving him some significant accuracy issues. [[Iron Lance]]s are also too weak for this point in the game. An early promotion is useful again, as it gets him to C rank in lances, which lets him wield the accurate and reasonably powerful [[Killer Lance]]. He also gains swords through promotion, but only enough sword level to use [[Iron Sword]]s. | |||
His speed will lag behind most other combat units unless he is given [[Speedwings]]. He has enough speed to prevent getting doubled by most enemies, though [[Nomad]]s or [[Myrmidon]]s likely will. He is a fine candidate for Speedwings if they have not been used before he joins, as most combat units should have sufficient speed by the time he joins. His average speed after promoting at level 10 without the Speedwings (14 to 15) lets him double slow enemies like Steel Lance-wielding [[Pegasus Knight]]s and [[Cavalier]]s or Steel Axe [[Fighter]]s. If trained well, Zeiss is one of the great candidates for the legendary [[Maltet]] lance, as his potential allows him to fight decently against [[Manakete|manaketes]] with this weapon. | |||
Another of Zeiss's issues is his low resistance making him susceptible to enemy status staves and tomes, even after using a [[Pure Water]]. His high HP can help him survive against the latter, but the former will always be a problem for him. His weakness to arrows and ballistae will also be a factor at times; the [[Delphi Shield]] is an option, but the player may want to give it to one of the other fliers, as Zeiss tends to be the most physically durable among them. | Another of Zeiss's issues is his low resistance making him susceptible to enemy status staves and tomes, even after using a [[Pure Water]].

It is relatively easy to build due to their similar mobility, but bear in mind that there may be times when the player wants to send them in different directions, as opposed to keeping them together. | ||
Overall, Zeiss takes a bit to get up to speed, and even after promotion, he takes some favoritism to have a shot of having combat remotely comparable to Melady. However, promotion gives him respectable combat alongside great utility and durability with or without favoritism. | Overall, Zeiss takes a bit to get up to speed, and even after promotion, he takes some favoritism to have a shot of having combat remotely comparable to Melady.

Trivia
- Zeiss's wyvern is named Levrey.[4]
- Zeiss is one of the few playable characters in the Fire Emblem GBA games to not have custom palette data attached to one of his possible classes, and the only playable unit in a non-exclusive class to have that distinction. He lacks a palette for his unpromoted class and thus uses the otherwise unused generic playable palette of the Wyvern Rider class.
