Analysis

Jade is the secondArmor to join the game. Compared to aLouis scaled to her join level, she has slightly less HP, strength, defense, and build while having more magic, skill, and resistance. The stat differences are mostly negligible, but Louis comes in earlier when Knights are more valuable and when their immunity to break is more valuable compared to Jade arriving in Chapter 9. Unfortunately, her higher resistance is mostly useless as enemy magic users scale their damage output too fast for the lowspeed Jade to keep up with. Making matters worse for Jade is that she joins in a chapter with many magic enemies.

Jade's growth rates are also less extremely optimized compared to Louis, with lower strength and defense. However, it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Enemies on Maddening do not attack if they have 0% hit or deal 0 damage unless they can apply some sort of debuff, and Louis's higher defense causes him to scale too fast for his own good, resulting in lower-strength enemies likeGriffin Knights andSwordmasters ignoring him completely. On the other hand, Jade's defense scales just slowly enough that she takes single-digit damage from them, allowing her to be targeted and for her to get counterattacks off; the difference in durability is not a detriment as Jade's HP pool is still sufficient to survive enemy phase, as like other armored units, she can't one-shot Maddening enemies without a lot of support. On the flip side, however, promoting Jade too early can also cause problems as a jump of 2 defense is enough to make certain enemies ignore her, such asSword Fighters andSword Fliers inChapter 10.

Of her two promotions,Great Knight offers higher stats in all areas compared toGeneral; only losing out on three points ofstrength and one single point ofdefense. More importantly, Great Knight offers her second weapon rank and two points of movement. Unfortunately Jade has much competition for earlyMaster Seals, and even more forSecond Seals.

Jade also has a 25% personal magic growth, which could theoretically allow her to use theHurricane Axe that can be obtained in her debut chapter, but there are much better candidates for magical damage without Jade's issues with availability, speed, and bulk, such asCitrinne,Ivy, andPandreo.

On a whole, Jade is a sub-par unit, Armored classes reach their expiration date by the time she joins and she is outperformed by most units, leaving Jade as a character to be used only as a replacement or if you are attached to the character.
