Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Mozu is aVillager who can be recruited in Paralogue 1, which can accessed after the seventh chapter. Like other trainee-like characters, she has low starting stats and excellent growth rates, which are further boosted by the skillAptitude. With it, herHP,speed,strength,skill,luck, anddefense growths all exceed 50%, meaning she is more likely to gain stat boosts than not whenever she levels up.
In her base class of Villager, Mozu fares poorly. She is locked to 1-range, E-levelnaginata, and her poor base stats make it difficult for her to contribute, and consequently gain theexperience necessary to level up and take advantage of her growth rates. Thankfully, Mozu can reclass to anArcher, which will allow her to at least contribute from a distance without putting herself in danger. Being an Archer has added value inConquest, as the classline is otherwise mostly unavailable on that route, and it can provide usefulskills, such asQuick Draw andBowfaire, to aid her combat capabilities. If reclassed into an Archer immediately in her joining paralogue, she can take advantage of its enemy Faceless's lack of ranged attacks to gain experience safely. Once promoted, her Villager classline also offers further valuable skills inSpendthrift fromMerchant andLife and Death fromMaster of Arms, which when combined with the aforementioned Archer line skills can boost herattack to exceptional levels, totalling up to +29 if all of them are active.
With that said, however, reclassing Mozu in the first place necessitates using one of theHeart Seals that are available early-game, which are few in number and are also desired by units such asCorrin andJakob. This is especially notable inBirthright, where only one Heart Seal can be obtained before upgrading to the level 2 Rod Shop after Chapter 13. Moreover, there is less incentive to use her inBirthright andRevelation, as those routes provide Archers that require less investment inTakumi andSetsuna; much less in the former's case. However, she also has a significant speed advantage over both. Normally, she can make double attacks without the need for a backpack, and if resources continue to be invested, she can instantly deal great damage by her excellent reclassing options, which is unmatched by other Archers. The lack of Archers inConquest also gives her ample room to play, and it is worthwhile to use the Heart Seal to obtain an excellent Archer.
In addition, she can give Aptitude to her child, which can make them a stronger unit. It should be noted that Aptitude will apply to any levels children automatically gain due to Offspring Seals.
