Analysis

Reiden joins in Chapter 13, which is past the halfway point ofNew Mystery of the Emblem. He is a late-joining Cavalier with D rank swords and C rank lances, which is mediocre without promotion. However, Reiden has a high base level of 15, allowing him to be promoted with aMaster Seal when he joins the army. With promotion bonuses, Reiden makes for a good enough filler combat unit.

Reiden's advantage is having high personal base stats, especially offensively. This makes him a very flexible unit since he can reclass into any physical class and be useful. While almost every unit inNew Mystery of the Emblem can reclass, Reiden's bases make him better at it than many other candidates.

Reiden's base C rank in lances is also useful when he joins. This period ofNew Mystery is full of enemy dragons, and Reiden can use theDragonpike with no investment. The demand for anti-dragon units is high, so Reiden may find a deployment slot by necessity.

Reiden's disadvantage is that his reclassing utility is lost without promotion. Not promoting Reiden is a real possibility; Master Seals are a limited resource, after all. The player could have promoted many other reliable units who join before Reiden, leaving him with no way to take advantage of his personal bases. While Reiden can still reclass before promotion, reclassing between unpromoted classes is much less useful past the game's halfway point. His unpromoted stats are unlikely to hold up, especially on higher difficulties.

Personality

Reiden is primarily characterized by his loyalty and dedication toCamus, even deserting the Grust army in order to escort princessNyna. His base conversations reveal him to be quite a mature individual, playing a minor mentor role to Kris and Roberto. However, he also has a habit of discarding important items by mistake.^[1] His ending reveals he is very compassionate, as he travels the land helping the weak.
