Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
With unparalleled utility and the potential to also reach respectable combat performance with some investment, Hortensia has the makings of a top-tier unit. Her prowess in staves is unmatched; her personal skill grants her +1 range on healing staves and, possibly due to an oversight, also +1 range onWarp,Rewarp andIllume. More importantly she is one of the few units who can useRescue and Warp without being stuck in a clunky 5-movement class, and the only unit who can extend the service life of these precious staves. In practice she will more than double their uses, as she can easily reach 40+ Dex and the results can be further manipulated with theTime Crystal.
In addition to being great with staves, Hortensia can deal respectable damage with tomes, as she's fast enough to double most targets, and since it makes sense to stack Dex on her, with a crit-engraved weapon she'll likely crit on one of the two attacks, destroying the target. While better damage dealers such as Anna don't need to crit to one-round, Hortensia's damage is impressive for a unit who already had best-in-game utility.
Hortensia's very low HP and Def make her initially incapable of surviving a round of combat, which should be addressed to allow her to position herself freely for optimal staff use (or combat). With theSleipnir Rider's low Def cap, Hortensia is a poor target forDraconic Shields, but she can absorb up to twoAngelic Robes with no risk of overcapping (at least not by the full 5HP that would completely waste the second robe). By the time Hortensia joins, the player will have obtained three robes; saving two for Hortensia can be considered, as it will free her to equip Dex boosts in her Emblem and second skill slot (after inheritingCanter orDivine Pulse). If the player can't spare the robes, Hortensia will need to hold an ultra-defensive emblem, or play very cautiously until she can inherit bothTiki'sStarsphere and a noticeable HP boost fromCorrin. Of course, she will always appreciate an extra HP tonic. In any case, Hortensia offers so much that any resources spent on boosting her durability are very well spent.
Thanks to Hortensia's proficiency in staves she is a natural fit withMicaiah as Hortensia's personal skill along withAugment both give additional staff range and the Sleipnir Rider class gives Hortensia the skill,World Tree, giving her a chance of saving a staff use based on her dexterity. Along with this, Hortensia can have solid combat with theThani tome.
Unlike most units with unique classes, Hortensia will likely want to stay in hers for the entire game, as her staff utility in that class is just too good to be shelved even temporarily, and Hortensia's base growths would make her fall behind in stats without the Sleipnir Rider's excellent boosts to Mag/Dex/Spd rates.
