Analysis

Azama is a monk that joins inChapter 8 ofBirthright andChapter 16 ofRevelation. Azama has rather unusual bases and growths for a healer, making him more fit for a physical class rather than a magic-based one. Because of his low magic, it might seem better to use a more magic-based healer such asSakura; however this would ignore the great uses Azama has otherwise. He starts out with a decent enough base magic and a D rank in staves, allowing him to use theSun Festal at base to quickly gain EXP to reach level 10 as early asChapter 11. However, Azama is in a much less fortunate position inRevelation, where his bases are rather low for his join time, and even an early promotion barely helps. He can still serve as a staff bot, but it's likely that there will be better options by that point.

Azama starts out with the skillsDivine Retribution andMiracle inBirthright, and at level 10 getsRally Luck, though he also starts with Rally Luck inRevelation. Divine Retribution deals half of damage taken by the user to the foe if the user has no weapon equipped; this is rather useful in the earlygame thanks to Azama's decent defense and HP, letting him deal some chip damage back, but becomes less useful later as Azama will likely be wielding some form of weaponry by then. Miracle is an overly situational skill and will rarely see use as it is unreliable. Rally Luck is often considered the worst rally as it provides far worse utility than the other rallies.

Azama benefits greatly from early promoting toGreat Master, as the promotion gives him excellent bonuses to all his stats, (most notably the +8 strength), and access to lances at the low cost of lowering his magic, skill and resistance growths. While it might seem strange to use a healer as a physical combat unit at first, Azama's stats will on average be on par withOboro's if she was promoted toSpear Master around the same time. After promotion, Azama can be used as a serviceable combat unit with the help of a speed tonic and a pair up, while also providing staff utility, and is a decent user of theDual Naginata. He also makes for a decent pair up partner forHinoka andReina. As a Great Master, Azama gains access toRenewal andCountermagic. Renewal makes Azama able to tank damage and regenerate HP at the same time; this skill works well with the low enemy quality ofBirthright, but not as well inRevelation, where enemy quality is considerably higher. Countermagic isn't very useful as Azama has decent resistance and, as such, won't be dealing much damage back to magic-wielding enemies, and it does not stack with Divine Retribution. While it might seem like a good idea to promote Azama to anOnmyoji to fix his low magic, with his magic growth also being increased in said class, it is not raised by a huge margin, resulting in him not being able to inflict as much damage compared to other magic users. Promoting to Onmyoji also gives Azama access toRally Magic andTomefaire. Rally Magic is an excellent utility skill, especially on a unit like Azama, but Tomefaire comes a bit late and at that point you're likely to have another frontline magic user who has better magic than Azama. If the player would want Azama to utilize both physical and tome combat, he should use a class likeBasara, which he can get from anOrochi or Oboro marriage,Hayato orKaden friendship, useOni Chieftain from aRinkah marriage, or useMalig Knight from aBeruka marriage inRevelation.

On the subject of reclassing, Azama can reclass into anApothecary,Merchant orMechanist. Reclassing him into an Apothecary allows him to make use of his high strength early at the cost of not being able to use staves. While Azama becomes more durable as an Apothecary, his speed will be lowered, and he will thus be unable to double consistently. While in this class he learns the skillsPotent Potion andQuick Salve. Both skills work well with each other as Azama will be able to regain more health than normal from a vulnerary and gains greater boosts through the use of tonics while also getting another turn. Merchant is a rather gimmicky class that boosts Azama's luck and uses gold bars to boost damage, but overall, this class isn't too useful, as its skills are relatively unreliable considering Azama's luck stat. Mechanist can be useful as it gives Azama access to bows and shurikens, while also boosting his skill considerably. He can pick off enemy fliers with his bows or deal with enemy mages with shurikens. While in this class, Azama learnsGolembane andReplicate. Golembane is a rather mediocre skill due to the low number of enemies weak to this skill inBirthright, but it may see more use inRevelation with the varied enemy types that are in theValla faction. Replicate is an incredibly useful skill that provides excellent utility and can even be used to bait enemies.

Azama has several options for gaining extra classes viaFriendship Seals. As somewhat eluded to before, Hayato and Kaden both giveDiviner, which Azama generally won't want to use directly.Magic +2 andFuture Sight are decent skills, though they are better gotten once Azama has promoted and gets them via Onmyoji or Basara. As the all new class, Basara givesRend Heaven andQuixotic. Azama's decent skill makes Rend Heaven an okay skill, and Quixotic boosts activation of all trigger skills, and gives +30 hit, with both effects applying to both units in combat. This skill, while more useful inBirthright due to few enemy's having skills at all, is a bit worse inRevelation since enemy's can have proc skills. The +30 hit can also potentially backfire if the player isn't careful.Subaki gives theSky Knight class tree, which is very good since both this class tree and Great Master share lance access.Darting Blow is a top tier skill with giving Azama extra doubling power.Camaraderie isn't super impactful, but any extra healing is nice.Falcon Knight is similar to Great Master since it also has a mixed offense/support playstyle. Great Master, however, is a bit stronger, has more magic, and is physically bulkier, but Falcon Knight makes Azama faster, gives more resistance, and movement. This class does potentially balance out his growths compared to Great Master.Rally Speed is good with Azama being a great support unit, andWarding Blow makes him almost immune to magical attacks on player phase.Kinshi Knight isn't very good in stats and growths, as Kinshi only gives +3 skill compared to Great Master, and lances are already fairly accurate. Growthwise, Kinshi only has 5% more to skill and resistance, while Great Master has better growths in HP, strength, magic, and defense. However,Air Superiority is a worthy skill for any unit, giving +30 to hit and avoid against flying units, which is very helpful in maps with several flying units in the lategame of bothBirthright andRevelation. As aRevelation exclusive option,Arthur givesFighter, perfectly complimenting Azama's strength-based nature.HP +5 andGamble are simple skills that can work with almost any build Azama might have.Rally Strength continues to strengthen Azama's support role, andAxefaire boosts damage with axes. However, Azama will only haveBerserker andHero to utilize this skill, and unless he'll use one of these classes or another axe class from a marriage option, he won't need this skill.Sol gives a chance at healing damage during an attack, andAxebreaker gives +50 to hit and avoid against axes, which may prove valuable since lances are weak to axes.

Overall, while Azama may seem strange at first, with a bit of investment and an early promotion, he can serve as a solid combat and staff unit throughoutBirthright. His performance inRevelation leaves something to be desired, but this is a rather common problem for most units in said route.

Azama: Carefree Monk
Azama is a monk from Hoshido who specializes in healing! With his affable, gentle demeanor, he’s the classic image of a Hoshidan monk.	Azama serves Hinoka, the eldest princess of Hoshido. He doesn’t work alone, though. His fellow retainer Setsuna helps him to support the princess!	You know, there’s been some rumors going around about Azama. Some say he’s suspiciously ambivalent about religion for a monk, and others say he’s got an astonishingly sharp tongue. Well, that doesn’t sound like the Azama I know at all!	Anyway, here’s Azama, lifting everyone’s spirits with his good-natured smile. He’s just as reliable as I thought he’d be… Right?
