Analysis

Frederick joins as a level 1Great Knight in the Prologue, and acts as the party's Jagen-type character. His strong bulk makes him the only character capable of surviving sustained combat in the earlygame of Lunatic and Lunatic+, and as such he is a lynchpin of any strategy conducive to survival. Furthering his strong earlygame is his ability to use theSilver Lance and his Great Knight class allowing him to quickly gain the ability to use various good weapons likeOrsin's Hatchet. He also is one of the few characters to supportChrom, and provides him very good bulk so he can get off the ground to become a formidable unit in his own right. In spite of that, Frederick's performance is nowhere near perfect; his bases, while excellent for his join time, are miserable when compared to what other characters will have when they catch up to his experience level, but his high growths at least allow him to keep pace with the army much better compared to other Jagens. While Frederick's experience intake is much slower than the rest of the party, the sheer amount of combat he will likely face makes up for this. However, he implodes in Chapter 17 when the enemy stops fielding unpromoted combat units. At that point, using Frederick becomes a balancing act of using him enough to damage the enemies, but not so much as to stunt the other units' growth potential until it's too late.

Frederick starts with the skillsDiscipline andOutdoor Fighter since he starts from theCavalier class tree. Discipline is quite a useful skill to build weapon ranks quicker so the player does not have to put up with weak weapons for as long if they are not willing to useArms Scrolls. Outdoor Fighter gives some extra hit and avoid when in outdoor maps, which are quite frequent. On the topic of weapon ranks, he has a base D in both swords and axes, letting him use iron weapons at base. SinceRobin generally does better as a caster, Frederick can help himself to Robin'sBronze Sword and quickly push his sword rank up by weakening enemies and letting other units take kills. His B in lances is his main treat, letting him use his Silver Lance in his inventory, and gives him usage ofsteel andKiller Lances with no investment. Great Knight is a spectacular class with its full weapon triangle control. At level 5, Frederick gains the skillLuna, which is not the most reliable at first, but its can activate more reliably later as he gains more points of skill, and his 55% growth in skill makes it less painful. At level 15, he gainsDual Guard+, giving him a higher chance to activate a dual guard, which completely negates any damage that would have been sustained. As an alternative class from Great Knight,Paladin is the other promotion of Cavalier, and reclassing to it gives him more points of magic, skill, speed, resistance, and movement. However, he loses points in HP, strength, and defense. His growth modifiers mostly reflect the stats he gains more of reclassing to Paladin. Paladin's greatest benefit is its eight move compared to Great Knight's seven, making this class better to get from point A to point B, while still having great combat stats. As a Paladin, he gains the skillsDefender andAegis. Defender is one of the skills he would wants the most since it gives extra pair up stat bonuses, and later, he will mostly serve as a pair up partner. Aegis gives a chance to reduce damage from bows, tomes, and dragonstones. This skill has the same activation rate as Luna, meaning it will not be great at first, but if he gets a higher skill stat, it can activate more reliably.

Knight is not a very good reclass option since it can also promote to Great Knight, making this class tree way worse than it could be since Frederick already can access Great Knight from the far superior Cavalier class tree.Defense +2 andIndoor Fighter are fine skills, but are usually not worth the detour to obtain when Frederick could gain a much better skill from a different class. Knight also does not give an increase to a growth, and even reduces his growth in speed.General is the only unique class Frederick can utilize from this class tree. It has the same growths as Knight aside from a small growth boost to resistance. General does give two extra points of HP and resistance, and gives an extra points of strength, skill, and defense. However, he will lose a point of speed, and two points of movement, taking away one of his biggest assets.Rally Defense is a great rally skill, and is not super grinding intensive to get.Pavise is similar to Luna and Aegis, but has a chance to reduce damage from swords, lances, axes, beaststones, and the claws fromRevenants andEntombed, though it has the same procing issues as Luna and Aegis, where it is quite poor at first, but potentially gets better later.

Wyvern Rider is potentially one of the best class tree in all ofAwakening, mostly with its base high movement, and high combat stats. Wyvern Rider disappointingly only increases his strength growth, and reduces his growths in HP and defense.Strength +2 is generally useful if he has no other good skills.Tantivy is probably pretty bad for Frederick specifically since in the late game, he will potentially have more use serving as a pair up backpack.Wyvern Lord is the much better promotion compared toGriffon Rider, solely due to Wyvern Lord having lance access whether Frederick promotes from Wyvern Rider, or directly reclasses. It also gives more points of HP, strength, and defense for promotion bonuses. Wyvern Lord also has the same growths as Wyvern Rider.Quick Burn is not the greatest skill unless the player is using low turn strategies, butSwordbreaker is a very good skill, giving +50 to hit and avoid when fighting swords, and it activates regardless of what weapon Frederick is using. Though it is a worse class than Wyvern Lord, Griffon Rider has some decent skills that could be worth pursuing. This class increases his growths in skill and speed, but reduces his growths in HP and defense, and gives more points of skill and speed when promoting or reclassing compared to Wyvern Lord.Deliverer is great for Frederick, since he usually devolves into a pair up bot late in the game, andLancebreaker is another good skill for +50 to hit and avoid when fighting lances.

Frederick's genes are nowhere near as good as his combat potential is. He suffers from a -2 Speed modifier and passes no particularly good classes down, meaning he is generally one of the worse fathers available. Frederick sways his children towards the physical end of the spectrum, so in casual play he makes an acceptable father for most physical children, and he also has a +2 mod in strength, skill, and defense.Inigo in particular can generally afford to eat the speed penalty to make a solid physical unit. Still, pretty much every child character has better options available than Frederick. It's also worth noting that Frederick is one of only four potential fathers forCynthia (not including the Avatar); however, Chrom andHenry both make better Cynthias than Frederick does. (So doesGaius, but the opportunity cost of losingGaleforce onNoire,Kjelle, orNah could be too much for some players.) Frederick is primarily a father of last resort for Cynthia.

Personality

Frederick, albeit calm and collected, serves as Chrom's sarcastic lieutenant, who orders tremendous effort for trivial things (but prefaces those orders with a smile.) He's a bit of an overachiever, spending his free time doing several things around the camp. The fondest of starting fires.
