Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Role

The Valentian Accordion expands on Deen's life before ending up in Grieth's service. He came from a long line of Zofian soldiers, joined the military when he came of age, and got engaged to a feudal lord's daughter. While out on a mission, his fiancée's mansion came under attack. Deen rushed to her aid, but was ambushed and lost the use of his left eye. When he reached the mansion, he discovered his fiancée had been turned into aWitch and used her father's heirloom, theBrave Sword, to kill her.

In the story proper, Deen will once again join Celica after Grieth's death if Celica chooses to fight Sonya, and will once again perish in the desert if Celica chooses to fight him.

Analysis

Deen is a myrmidon that joins at the end of Act 3. He has very solid bases and growths in every area besides luck and resistance. Deen is 5 levels away from being able to promote into aDread Fighter, which requires a notable amount of investment to reach but depending on how much experience Saber has received he may be the best candidate to become one. Dread Fighter is a very important class for Act 4 for its speed for doubling enemy Dread Fighters, as well as its high resistance. Overall, Deen is a solid unit with good combat and access to a powerful class with his only weakness being his somewhat low availability and low base level.
