Dozla (Japanese:ドズラDozzla) is aBerserker who appears inFire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. A hearty, eager fighter, he isL'Arachel's most loyal servant, along withRennac, her much less enthusiastic follower.

Dozla first appears inChapter 4, then briefly inChapter 9 ofEirika's route orChapter 10 ofEphraim's route. Dozla joins in Chapter 11 of both routes, eitherCreeping Darkness orPhantom Ship.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Role

Dozla first appears, along withL'Arachel andRennac, inChapter 4. AsEirika's party fights offmonsters, the three appear on a high cliff. L'Arachel orders them to charge down the cliffs and help out, but Rennac snarkily says they'll die if they do so. The three then decide to find another way down that doesn't involve directly running down a set of cliffs. Dozla and his allies arrive at the base of the cliff too late; Eirika's party has already defeated the monsters. When Eirika asks L'Arachel who she is Dozla interrupts her before she can say more than that she is fromRausten. With no monsters to vanquish, Dozla, L'Arachel, and Rennac depart.

Eirika's route

InChapter 9, Dozla and the others appear again. Eirika is looking for a ship to Rausten when L'Arachel's party comes up. She warns Eirika that no ships are leaving because of a fabled ghost ship, and advises Eirika to take the land route. Going off in the wrong direction, she intends to travel to Rausten. Dozla enthusiastically encourages her and continues with her.

Later, inChapter 11, L'Arachel and Dozla appear again, without Rennac, fighting monsters at the same fort as Eirika's group. They meet, and L'Arachel and Dozla agree to join Eirika. Afterwards, Dozla joins Eirika's army and stays for the rest of the game.

Ephraim's route

In the end ofChapter 10, Dozla comes up to Ephraim along with L'Arachel and Rennac. L'Arachel warns Ephraim of a ghost ship that has been terrorizing the seas; however, Ephraim goes anyway.

They appear very soon after this meeting inChapter 11, when Ephraim's ship is attacked by the ghost ship, full of monsters. L'Arachel and Dozla arriving on a neighboring ship intending to help vanquish these monsters. Ephraim recruits L'Arachel, who tells Dozla they will be joining Ephraim's army. Dozla is enthusiastic about this, ready to do whatever L'Arachel says.

Analysis

Dozla joins in Chapter 11 on bothEphraim andEirika's routes. As a pre-promoted level 1Berserker with decent base stats, he can be put to work immediately with no investment.

As a berserker, Dozla benefits from a passive crit chance increase. With a base B axes, he can use most axes in the game and has 1–2 range withHand Axes. SinceThe Sacred Stones is oriented around killing as many units as possible during the enemy phase, Dozla's access to 1–2 range makes him an adequate combat unit. He can also walk on mountains, on water, and across rivers, which can sometimes give him a mobility advantage over non-flying troops. Moving Dozla onto a mountain can serve as a defensive maneuver to increase his avoid, allowing him to face more enemies on the enemy phase without a risk of death.

Dozla's main issue is his low speed. With a base of 9, he does not double any enemies, and as such, he relies on critical hits to one-round. Furthermore, without high-crit weapons, his crit chance is not very reliable.Killer Axes are not available in Eirika's route until thesecret shop inChapter 14, forcing him to make do until then. One such axe can be obtained early in Ephraim's route, but replacements will have to wait untilChapter 14. TheBattle Axe he joins with is also wildly inaccurate, so unless he is given a more accurate axe, he can miss quite often.

There is one variation of Dozla available inHeroes.

Personality

Dozla is a very boisterous and energetic axeman. He is very enthusiastic about anything L'Arachel decides to do, and is a very loyal follower of hers. To some, he acts as a father or uncle, at forty-seven years old.^[2] Extremely often, he laughs with a distinctive laugh of "gwah ha ha!" This appears in every single conversation of his except for his conversations withGarcia. He is very well-meaning, trying to make situations better, such as when he tries to cheer up Myrrh when she begins to cry.^[3] However, he has rather bad perception of others' feelings, such as when he seesRennac in a "pleased" mood.^[4] Overall, he is a friendly, hearty man.

Dozla travels withL'Arachel along with the unwillingRennac aroundMagvel defeating monsters. He agrees with nearly everything she says, not out of flattery but of true agreement; the two seem to share the same unique view on life. He says little about his life. To Myrrh, he says he has "tasted the sweet and sour of life", along with love.^[5] He talks of the past as long ago.^[6]

Endings

Dozla of the Steady Axe
As L'Arachel rose to become queen, he remained by her side. Watching L'Arachel grow to become the queen she was destined to be was Dozla's greatest joy in life.

L'Arachel and Dozla
L'Arachel was, in time, made queen of Rausten, with Dozla at her side, as always. Later, Dozla wept like a baby when L'Arachel was wed. His emotional outburst is remembered as much as, if not more than, the ceremony itself.
