Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Shinon is a prepromoted sniper that joins early, leaves the party after Chapter 7, then rejoins in Chapter 19. He has decent base stats for earlygame, especially skill and speed, so he will be an accurate and strong 2-range attacker. He will also have high crit rates thanks to the sniper bonus and high skill (note that snipers do not get a crit bonus on the Japanese version). He can also tank quite a few hits for earlygame. However, he is permanently limited to 2-range thanks to bow-lock, severely limiting his good earlygame combat.
Shinon has some of the best growths in the game. However, it is rare to take advantage of them because he is a prepromote so his experience gain is low, and he leaves the party for over a third of the game. When the player can recruit him again (which requires fielding Rolf), it is very hard for him to contribute through lategame despite his good growths, because of bowlock, no mount, and relatively bad lategame base stats; a trained Astrid or Rolf will far surpass Shinon at this point. To his credit, lategame Shinon starts with A rank bows so he can use every bow in the game besides the Double Bow, alleviating his bad lategame strength by allowing him to immediately use Silver Bows without training. He also can use a Longbow, which only he and Rolf can. If given enough BEXP and kills for his stats to catch up with the rest of the team, Shinon can serve as a decent filler archer unit, especially if Rolf and/or Astrid have been killed in battle or insufficiently trained.
Shinon starts with the Provoke skill, and will have it permanently equipped through earlygame since the player does not have a chance to remove it in earlygame. Due to Shinon's good dodge and durability, he is a good earlygame meatshield, but again he cannot counterattack most enemies. Lategame, one can find situational use for Provoke to lure enemies into attacking at 2-range, but it is otherwise not useful, as most enemies will not be tempted to approach Shinon unless he is standing within their attack range, in which they will fight him up close without allowing him to retaliate. Deadeye has a high activation from Shinon's excellent skill, but it will not be useful because enemies targeted by Shinon will frequently be defeated by other units anyways. It is recommended to use your Occult scrolls on other units.
Shinon has a thunder affinity which gives avoid and defense. In lategame, he will frequently be attacking at a range so this is only useful if his partner wants the avoid/defense boost. Pairing him with Gatrie gives Gatrie a +3 defense boost with some needed accuracy/avoid thanks to his bad base skill and speed; however, the massive defense boost is often overkill for Gatrie, especially on easier difficulties. Janaff has another thunder affinity, so he can get a +3 defense +15 avoid boost, which helps his durability. However, he is a flier and will often not be near Shinon in many maps. Rolf is not a recommended partner since both units are foot-locked archers that want attack the most, yet neither gets an attack boost.

- Note: The above stats are Shinon's default stats. If aRadiant Dawn game was started via adata transfer fromPath of Radiance and Shinon managed to reach level 20 in his highest possible class in thePath of Radiance save file, any stat Shinon capped inPath of Radiance will result in a boost to his base in the stat in question inRadiant Dawn. The boost is a +5 formax HP, and +2 forstrength,magic,skill,speed,luck,defense orresistance. In addition, Shinon'sweapon level at the end of a transferredPath of Radiance game can result in an boost to hisweapon experience inRadiant Dawn. SeeData transfer §Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for more information.
- Shinon cannot gain enough points via level-up and stat-boosting items to cap luck, and thus cannot legitimately obtain a boost in it.

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Shinon is a high-level sniper that starts in Ike's group in Part 3. He has excellent base stats all around, having the second-highest base speed in the team and excellent skill with high crit rates, and decent strength to deal significant damage, if not outright one-round. His offense will stay excellent due to his excellent skill and speed growth, and an S rank in bows lets him use Silver Bows and the Silencer whenever he gets them. While his strength growth is mediocre, he starts very close to capping HP, skill, and speed, so it is very easy to increase strength and speed with BEXP. He has a high base level so it is easy to promote him early, which greatly benefits him due to giving him 3-range with standard bows (4-range with the long bow and double bow). He also has a decent defense growth, so he is not physically frail at all. While Shinon benefits a lot fromPath of Radiance transfers,PoR Shinon has very low chances of capping almost any stats (though he can cap strength without stat boosters, if lucky) thanks to his bad base stats for his level, which is further exacerbated with the fact that he leaves the party for a majority ofPath of Radiance before rejoining, so it is not recommended. Due to his great combination of bases and growths, as well as the issues that plague the other archers in the game (Rolf's inferiority to him and forced competition with him, Astrid's horrible bases, and Leonardo's issues gaining experience), he is far and away the best candidate to wield the Double Bow in the Tower of Guidance.
Shinon is bowlocked so his only form of 1-range combat are crossbows (which lack in power outside of effective damage) and the Double Bow (only endgame), so he is primarily limited to attacking on player phase. Thus, while he is very strong early on in Part 3, when later Part 3 and Part 4 are more rout-heavy, Shinon becomes very limited. He also is not mounted so his mobility is lacking. While his base strength is good, his strength growth is not high enough to keep him reliably strong, so he may sometimes struggle with long-term strength.
Much like the previous game, Shinon starts with the Provoke skill, which will increase the chances of enemies attacking him in lieu of his teammates. While he does have the durability to withstand prolonged attacks early on in Part 3 and can keep them from attacking other frail units such as Soren, Mist, and Rhys, he will not be able to fight back due to lacking 1-range combat; it is recommended to remove Provoke by mid-Part 3 due to the enemies getting progressively stronger. In the event that he gets boxed in by hostile units due to his lack of 1-range combat, Shinon can equip Pass to pull himself out of these tight situations. However, as an archer, he should not be consistently left exposed during enemy phase in the first place, regardless of how durable he is.
Shinon has a thunder affinity which gives a defense and avoid boost. As Shinon is an archer, he should be attacking at a range without many counterattacks, and not exposed to much enemy phase combat, so these boosts are not useful for him. Mia and Boyd benefit from Shinon's bonuses as footlocked infantry units, and in return, gives Shinon an attack boost with their fire affinities.

Personality
Shinon is rather stubborn and self-centered. He also makes rather sarcastic comments, and does not get along withIke very well, constantly reminding him that he should change the name of the mercenaries. He shows dislike for laguz, and appears to have a drinking problem, as demonstrated in a base conversation inPath of Radiance, where he rants at Ike before throwing up.
Shinon likes to prove his strength and superiority. WhenMist andRolf are kidnapped inPath of Radiance, Shinon takes down the final kidnapper with a well-placed shot. He respects CommanderGreil for his strength, but has no appreciation for Ike because he finds the boy inexperienced. Once Ike is given command of theGreil Mercenaries, Shinon leaves as a protest and does not come back unless forced to. Even inAskr, Shinon wants to test Ike's abilities and find out whether he can live up to Greil's legacy.[5] Shinon believes in self-reliance and does not like it when people depend on others for everything.[6]
Shinon values strength and earning one's keep – his disrespect toward Ike is rooted in these values. Shinon believes that Ike has neither the strength nor the right to succeed Greil. He had thought the Greil Mercenaries were a meritocracy, and Ike's rise to power made him doubt the organization. Because of his stubbornness, Shinon needed to be forced into rejoining by being beaten into submission.
Shinon seems to have some respect forRolf, as Shinon was the one who taught Rolf how to use a bow and arrow. This shows Shinon has a softer side which seldom appears. Shinon is protective of Rolf because he likes kids more than adults, and wishes to protect him from the ravages of war.[7] That said, there is an element of selfishness in Shinon's treatment of Rolf. Shinon admits he does not want to feel responsible if Rolf gets himself killed, so teaching Rolf how to defend himself absolves Shinon of guilt. This is an insight into Shinon's cynical mindset – his worldview is negative, and he tries to cope with it by escaping pain.[8] It is also the reason why he has a drinking problem.
Shinon does not actually enjoy killing – he does it to survive.[9][10] He believes that fighting is necessary to get anywhere in life. The reason he defects to Daein is thatAshnard built a society where you can excel in the army through merit alone. Shinon has always believed that you need to fight tooth and nail for everything, which is another reason he hates Ike, who he sees as someone getting everything for free.[11]
This is the reason why Shinon encourages people likeIlyana and Rolf to fight for their needs. His view about the world is cynical – he thinks nothing comes for free and fighting is necessary. But he is also willing to help others stand up for themselves.[12] Shinon saw Greil as a pillar of strength and followed him for that reason. Greil ticked all the boxes in Shinon's mind – he fought to survive, never took anything for granted and always made sure everybody earned their keep.[13]

“ | Boyd: Shinon! I couldn't care less who you decide to work for... Heck, I'd hoped you were dead! But even so, Daein? You couldn't find anything better than this? What were you thinking? Shinon: Haven't changed a bit, have you? You're still a mouthy piece of work. Listen up! Daein's a great place to work right now. The pay's great, and strength at arms is the only thing that determines class standing. You want to join me? Boyd: Don't be ridiculous! Shinon: Well then, only one thing to do. Out of the goodness of my heart, I'll teach you how adults fight. And as far as payment goes... I'll take your life. How's that sound? Boyd: Keep talking, Shinon! I'm gonna beat the obnoxious clean out of you. | ” | — Shinon, when fightingBoyd in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |

“ | Titania: Shinon! You... You're with Daein of all things? Shinon: Long time, no see, Captain. You know, we didn't always see eye to eye, but... I never once minded taking orders from you. Titania: To tell the truth, I really didn't mind having to listen to your endless complaints and insults, either. Hold nothing back. Let's pay each other...the proper respect. Shinon: Yes, I think that's best. So in the end, we finally agree on something, eh? | ” | — Shinon, when fightingTitania in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Oscar: Shinon?! Why are you with Daein? Someone with your skills could have found work with Begnion's army. So, why this? Shinon: Ha! Why would I want to go to work for a bunch of stiff-necked bluestockings? I'm a commoner. No matter how good I am, I would never rise above a middling commission. It's different in Daein. If you're a skilled fighter, you can rise all the way to the top. Oscar: Is getting promoted really that important? Shinon: It's everything. All right, enough with the pleasantries. You ready to go? Oscar: Oh, Shinon... | ” | — Shinon, when fightingOscar in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Rhys: Cut it out, Shinon! Commander Greil would have never wanted this! Shinon: Shut your mouth, Rhys! I don't have the patience for one of your little sermons. Besides, you should be worried about your own life instead of mine. Rhys: Shinon... | ” | — Shinon, when fightingRhys in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Gatrie: Shi-Shinon? SHINON?! Oh, this can't be happening! I mean, fighting you... That's going to be tough. Shinon: Come on, Gatrie. You can't be worried about me forever. You're a mercenary. All you need to do is worry about your own skin. You got it? Gatrie: Well, yeah... Heh heh heh... Ahh... Still...this will be a sad day... | ” | — Shinon, when fightingGatrie in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Shinon: Well, well, lookee here. The little boy plays soldier... How sweet. Your job's always been just to use that big brain of yours. That's why you spend your time hiding behind Ike's apron. Isn't it, Soren? Soren: Shinon. You always were dumb as a gnat, but... A first-class archer. I'll give you that. But with the power I now possess, it's probably in your best interest not to presume to know my strength. Shinon: Hah! You're still a snotty little whelp, aren't you? Get ready to die, little man. | ” | — Shinon, when fightingSoren in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Mist: That's enough, Shinon! Why must friends fight? It's all too terrible... Shinon: This is war. It's all terrible. Tears mean nothing in the heat of battle. Remember that. | ” | — Shinon, when fightingMist in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
---|
“ | Rolf: Shinon... Shinon: Wipe that pathetic look off your face. Come on, ready your bow. On the battlefield, emotion ain't worth spit. I taught you that, didn't I? Rolf: Uh...huh... Uncle Shinon... | ” | — Shinon, when fightingRolf in Chapter 18 ofPath of Radiance. |
