Analysis

Ryoma is a prepromotedSwordmaster who joins inChapter 13 ofBirthright, where he is recruited at the end of the chapter, andChapter 16 ofRevelation where he joins on turn one. InRevelation he will be able to double every enemy on the map and usually one-round each one as well. Though he might have some trouble one-rounding theGenerals unless he triggersAstra or gets acritical hit, and he can get overwhelmed if he fails to dodge some attacks, he usually will not have much trouble with most of the enemies on the map, and the things he will not kill can easily be finished off by your other units.

Ryoma joins with high bases and growths inHP,speed,strength,skill andluck, but mediocre-to-lowmagic,defense andresistance, along with his personal swordRaijinto. Raijinto gives Ryoma a reliable 1–2 range option, +10avoid and +4 strength, on top of having 11 might, making it easily one of the best swords inFates. He comes with the skills:Bushido,Duelist's Blow andVantage. Bushido grants Ryoma +10 crit, +2 damage dealt, and −2 damage received if the user's level is equal or higher than that of his supporting unit (note that promoted classes count as level +20); considering that Ryoma is a frontline unit and as such will be gaining most of the experience from killing enemies, this skill works excellently with him. Duelist's Blow gives Ryoma additional avoid; along with his already great avoid, this means that Ryoma will rarely ever get hit on player phase, even when suffering from aweapon triangle disadvantage. Vantage is a situational skill that requires Ryoma to be at low health, and can be useful in situations where he can reliably KO opponents with a single hit or crit, but since Ryoma is fairly fragile it is often safer to heal him instead of keeping him at low health to activate the skill. Ryoma joins with B rank in swords, meaning that he will not be able to wield the highest rank swords at base, though this does not matter much as Ryoma will mostly be using the Raijinto anyway and as a result will not rely too much on other weapons.

As a Swordmaster, Ryoma will eventually learn the skills Astra andSwordfaire. Thanks to his naturally high skill, he will often proc Astra; this in combination with his already great offenses ensure that no enemy will be able to survive it, provided it does proc. Whenpaired up, Astra's extra attacks can also allow him to fill his Dual Guard gauge faster; this can help his survivability, though this utility is still too inconsistent to plan around reliably. Swordfaire boosts Ryoma's already high strength in a more consistent manner, and will give him much better matchups against defensive enemies such as Generals.

On the subject of reclassing, Ryoma has three options:Master of Arms,Falcon Knight andKinshi Knight. Master of Arms lowers Ryoma's speed, but gives him extra bulk and access tolances andaxes. This is mostly useless to Ryoma as he will mostly be using the Raijinto, and he will not be able to use any of the useful lances and axes at base due to his low weapon levels. While in Master of Arms, Ryoma can learn the skillsSeal Strength andLife and Death. Seal Strength is highly situational on Ryoma as he will usually kill whatever he fights, meaning they will not live long enough for the debuff to make an impact. Life and Death gives a great boost to Ryoma's offenses, though this is often overkill since Ryoma is already more than capable of ORKOing most foes, and it lowers his mediocre defenses even further, making the skill overly risky to use. Both Falcon Knight and Kinshi Knight get rid of Ryoma's ability to use the Raijinto and the skills and utility they offer are generally not worth the sacrifice of nerfing Ryoma's fantastic combat utility.

Ryoma's great stat spread aside from defense and resistance means those are the only stats he really wants out of pair up partners. Looking atFriendship Seal choices,Silas provides +2 defense and resistance as aPaladin, or +4 defense as aGreat Knight in both routes.Xander inRevelation gives slightly more defense at +3 in his base Paladin. Due to slightly different personal pair up bonuses, Silas gives +1 skill and speed, and Xander instead gives the extra defense previously mentioned, and +1 luck. Both of them pass theCavalier class tree. This is a fantastic option, as taking Ryoma's strong combat into a mounted class that can use Raijinto will make him even more formidable. Paladin is the better choice between it and Great Knight, as the only stat losses will be magic and speed, and most of his other stats are increased. Great Knight does better fix his bulk than Paladin, but he'll lose a lot of the stat variety that Paladin gives.Defender from Paladin allows Ryoma to be stronger if he is paired up, and whileAegis doesn't have the best proc rate, it can give Ryoma better survivability. Great Knight givesLuna for a chance at extra damage with the same proc rate as Aegis, andArmored Blow fixes Ryoma's bulk problems on player phase.Saizo is variable on whether he gives bulk pair ups, as he'll give +3 skill, +5 speed, and +1 move as aMaster Ninja, or he can goMechanist to give +2 defense and resistance. Passing theNinja tree, Master Ninja is a perfect fit for Ryoma, with its sword access allowing continued use of Raijinto. While Master Ninja has quite a bit of stat reductions, Ryoma's bases are high enough that it might not matter too much, and the +3 resistance is very nice. Since Ryoma kills almost anything he fights,Poison Strike andLethality aren't very useful.Shurikenfaire for extra damage is nice, but the fact that Raijinto is a ranged weapon mitigates the need to use shurikens except for occasional debuffs to give kills to other units. Mechanist isn't a great class since it lock Ryoma out of using Raijinto. However, if given some investment if Ryoma is near or past level 15,Replicate is a very powerful skill that allows Ryoma to create a clone, essentially doubling the army's firepower. Lastly,Takumi doesn't give any bulk in pair up, but he does give good amounts of strength, skill, and speed as aSniper, or slightly less as a Kinshi Knight, but gives a point of movement and two points of luck.Archer, which like many other class trees, isn't as good with it not being able to use Raijinto. However, a quick reclass to obtainQuick Draw can be a decent strategy for extra damage on player phase, though with more investment,Certain Blow can be another good skill to give Ryoma very high accuracy on his turn.

When it comes to the choice of an S support partner,Rinkah is one of his best options, since defense is one of Ryoma's only weak stats, and she provides +6 defense, in addition to +5 strength and +2 speed as anOni Chieftain, or she can trade a point of defense and strength for two points of skill as aBlacksmith. Ryoma can also reclass to Blacksmith after marriage to continue using Raijinto, while also gaining some additional bulk, strength, and skill at the cost of some speed and resistance.

Overall, Ryoma is one of the strongest raw combat units inFates. Though his combat potential is achievable by other units, Ryoma comes with zero investment needed and only has to worry about his low defenses. Because of the high hit rates of weapons inFates and Duelist's Blow only working on player phase, dodge tanking is not reliable. As such, Ryoma can often get killed in just two or three hits, so it is often best to give him a defense pair up or anHP Tonic to improve his survivability. Outside this minor flaw, however, Ryoma is an invaluable unit, standing tall as one of the best units inFates.

Personality

As the oldest child and the successor to the throne of Hoshido, Ryoma is mature, as well as very cautious with his plan of actions when it comes to the ongoing war between Nohr and Hoshido. To go along with his meticulous planning, he is very intelligent when it comes to the battlefield. He has led his men to victory many times, making him a very valuable person in the army. He exudes a charismatic and wise aura, which is very apparent in his supports as he gives advice to those who need it or are looking for it. InBirthright andRevelation, Ryoma serves a comfort of sorts as they go through the game, unsure if they made the right decisions.

InConquest, Ryoma is dead set on having Corrin return to Hoshido with them, dead or alive. He is quite vicious and is not willing to listen for a compromise until the very end, such as when he refuses to give Elise the medicine for her illness, unless Corrin comes back with him. With Corrin siding with Nohr, he becomes more intolerant of Nohrians. On top of that, like with his determination, he continues to follow his ways as he does not know when to give up. However, when he is lead to believe that Corrin killed Hinoka, Ryoma becomes angered and loses whatever honor he has and is ready to kill Corrin on sight without listening to reason.

Due to being quite perfect, both Takumi and Shiro feel insecure and inferior to him. He is the last to give up in the army.
