Coirpre (Japanese:コープルCorpul) is the adoptive son of theThracian generalHannibal, biologically one of the two children of the dancerSilvia, and a distant relative of theEdda nobility ofGrannvale. He and his sister,Lene, were left at an orphanage inDahna in his infancy by Silvia, and Hannibal subsequently adopted him.^[1] Trained as a priest of the Church ofBragi, he influenced Hannibal to defect and ally withSeliph's liberation army.

If Silvia was not married in the course of the first generation, Coirpre'srole is filled byCharlot.

Biography

Coirpre was captured in the Munster District child hunts and held prisoner in Fort Kelbeth, on the border between Munster and Thracia. He was freed byLeif and theFiana Freeblades in their raid on the fort and taken to one of the nearby villages, after which he eventually returned to Hannibal's care at Meath Castle. When Leif and theMagi arrived there some time later, Coirpre gave Leif aWarp staff out of thanks for saving him from Kelbeth.

WhenSeliph's liberation army seized Meath with the intent of claiming the rest of Thracia, Coirpre was held hostage by KingTravant in a bid to get Hannibal to co-operate with his orders to fight Seliph, and was left under the guard of GeneralDistler at Luthecia Castle. When Seliph conquered Luthecia, Coirpre was freed and warned Seliph of Hannibal's plight. He joined Seliph's army and convinced Hannibal to stand down and accompany him.

Analysis

Coirpre joins as a level 1Priest in Chapter 9; he is very under-leveled for a unit that joins so late. Coirpre can struggle to promote withoutParagon, as a personal skill inherited fromLex or from theParagon Ring. He can useWarp andReturn at base; if he is left at the home castle with another unit, he can repeatedly use either staff to send a unit to the home castle and gain significant experience each turn—enough to reasonably reach promotion in one chapter even without Paragon, though it will require more staff uses and repairs, and thusgold, without Paragon. He hasPhysic at base for long-range heals, but other units won't always be in its range.

Coirpre will always inheritMiracle,Adept, and minor Bragi Holy Blood from Silvia. Miracle will occasionally increase his survivability, but only if he is reduced to a specific HP threshold that is close to death; Adept is useless for him until promotion, and even then, it's situational, as he is often too slow to use it reliably after it—regardless of his speed, his frailty, poor tome levels, and lack ofFollow-Up prevent him from being a meaningful combat unit. Coirpre will always have A staves at base due to his Bragi Blood, allowing him to use every staff in the game butValkyrie; however, most fathers cannot pass staves to him, and every other staff-wielding unit in the second generation is available earlier and all but Lana have more movement. However, even without having Paragon, he can close the level gap quicker with a high-rank staff: Silence and Sleep both give him a guaranteed level up, and asFortify requires an A rank likeRescue, he can use it at base. Fortify has 10 uses and grants him 85 EXP per use, thus giving Coirpre eight or nine levels before it breaks and has to be fixed.

Coirpre has 5 movement before and after promotion; 5 move is less than most infantry and all mounted units, meaning he will fall behind every unit but those that also have 5 move. Coirpre's low movement prevents him from using Rescue as a means of increasing a unit's mobility because he's too far behind, and he won't always be able to help with Physic orRestore unless there's combat to stop who is on the frontlines. The only means of increasing Coirpre's movement is through theLeg Ring, which gives its bearer +3 movement; the Leg Ring, however, is a highly competitive item, as every unit benefits from additional movement. Coirpre's sisterLene is a strong competitor for the Leg Ring, as it significantly improves her mobility—especially with theKnight Ring—and allows her to reach better places todance from. Additionally, giving Coirpre the Leg Ring requires that it be unavailable until Chapter 9, when units such as Lene orSeliph that compete for the Leg Ring can use it significantly earlier. Lene's dance can help him, but he's not the only one that needs a second action for the turn.

While staff utility is useful, Coirpre has to compete with every other staff user, all of whom will likely surpass him.Leif can use all staves and has a mount, and along withNanna/Jeanne will be able to handle most of the army's staff needs. They cannot heal as much as Coirpre as their magic is lower, but withMend,Recover, andFortify they will be sufficient. While mounted staff users will not be as effective with status staves, the other three foot staff users available have either better base magic, better access to money, and/or better movement, and there are only two status staves available to use.

If Coirpre's father is Claud, he gains major Bragi Holy Blood, granting him ★ rank staves, which effectively grants him the ability to wield Valkyrie (as he could already wield every other staff). Major Bragi blood also boosts his magic growth by 20%, allowing him to heal more HP or inflict a greater number of units with statuses from theSilence andSleep staves. Claud is the best father for Coirpre, but only marginally; Coirpre does not vary much with different fathers, and will always be held back by his 5 move and late join time. Claud also has no skills to pass down.

Aside from Claud, Coirpre can also inherit staves fromLewyn; Lewyn will pass major Forseti blood and theForseti tome to him, greatly boosting his speed, but he will still lack Follow-Up. He also passes down the Forseti tome, which grants him great combat after promotion, thoughCed andArthur are both better than him in this regard.Azelle grants Coirpre minor Fjalar blood, increasing his magic and speed growths and increasing his fire level, but fire is the heaviest set of tomes in the game, and Coirpre will not inherit any staves. Lex can pass Paragon to Coirpre, helping him level up faster, but he gains little from Nál blood or fromVantage. Each of the aforementioned fathers—and those not mentioned—do not solve Coirpre's low movement, and none offer much to his sister Lene as well.

If Silvia is dead or unmarried by the end ofChapter 5, the player may instead recruit Coirpre's substituteCharlot. Charlot, like Coirpre, is a level 1 Priest; he does not have A staves like Coirpre, but does have the staff level to use Warp and Rescue. While Coirpre will always inherit Adept and Miracle, Charlot will always have Paragon as a personal skill, allowing him to reach promotion much sooner. Additionally, Charlot has an event withHannibal that grants him the only obtainableBerserk staff in the game—Berserk has a number of niche uses, particularly against late-game bosses. Both Coirpre and Charlot have the same low move, however, and both are outclassed by every prior staff-user available. Additionally, recruiting Charlot requires that the player forsake Lene in favor of her substituteLaylea as well; while Laylea hasCharm to boost nearby allies, Lene can inherit the Leg and Knight Rings, which Laylea would need significant assistance to get the necessary gold, as they are very expensive.
