Silas (Japanese:サイラスSilas) is a character inFire Emblem Fates. He is acavalier fromNohr, who knewCorrin for a short time in their childhood. Silas accompaniesCorrin regardless of their decision.

Biography

Silas is a fledgling Knight of the Kingdom of Nohr and child of a Nohrian noble family, having known Corrin since childhood and considers them his best friend. One day, Silas decided to bring Corrin out of the Northern Fortress on a picnic. However, he was caught by the guards and was nearly executed if not for Corrin's strong opposition. Instead, he was banished from the fortress, but he never forgot his friend. Silas decided to enlist in the Nohrian army, knowing that it was the best way to meet his friend again.

Birthright

Silas first appears inChapter 7, leading an assault on Fort Jinya on orders from KingGaron. He is shocked to find Corrin leading the defense of the fort, but continues his attack despite this.

Ultimately, Silas and the Nohrians' attack is repelled. Defeated by Corrin, he states that he is ready to be executed, but Corrin refuses, wondering how the two know each other. Silas explained about their childhood together until his banishment. Corrin vaguely remembers him, but nonetheless decides to spare him and Silas decides to follow his best friend and joins the Hoshidan army and helps Corrin settle an age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr.

Conquest

Silas first appears inChapter 7, helping Corrin on their trial with Elise through the Woods of the Forlorn onXander's orders. Silas subsequently aids Corrin's effort to put an end to the age-old conflict shared between Hoshido and Nohr.

Revelation

Unlike the first two routes, Silas does not appear until later inChapter 14, where like inBirthright, he was ordered by Garon to kill Corrin, but when crossing blades, Silas could not bring himself to kill his best friend and Corrin notices his hesitation. After the battle, after telling their childhood story of their picnic, Corrin suddenly remembers Silas. Needing all the help they can get, Corrin asks Silas to join their cause which he gladly accepts and helps Corrin to put an end toAnankos' machinations.

Analysis

Silas is a Cavalier, and one of the few units that is available in all three routes ofFates; he joins in chapter 7 of bothBirthright andConquest, and chapter 14 ofRevelation. His base stats vary significantly between each path, though in general, he has a balanced stat spread and growth rates, with below-average speed and an emphasis on strength and defense. Though his combat capabilities can be somewhat inconsistent, he can still be a very helpful unit thanks to his utility as a mounted unit.

Silas's below-average speed keeps him from reliably doubling for quite some time at base, though his combination of good strength and the skillElbow Room allow him to deal strong enough damage to at least 2RKO a good number of enemies. His high movement is a great boon, allowing him to reach key points quickly, or to ferry other units to them. It also lets him easily position himself for Dual Strikes, which he can take advantage of to score ORKOs he might not otherwise achieve. Later on he will learnShelter, a useful skill that can allow him to perform similarRescue-drop strategies that were possible in earlier games. It can also allow for more risky strategies withAzura, as she can potentially sing for someone in attack range, then be protected by Silas's good defenses.Vow of Friendship is an interesting personal skill that greatly boosts both his offense and defense, though it is limited in that it requiresCorrin to be below a specific HP threshold; if Corrin hasn't been reclassed, they can use theDragonstone to raise their bulk and also chip enemies for the rest of your units, combining well with Silas' personal skill.

Silas will typically want to promote to Paladin instead of Great Knight for its enhanced mobility. In addition, its better speed bonus along with the skillDefender will allow Silas to hit doubling thresholds more reliably. While sending him intoGreat Knight may seem like a good option to obtainLuna, Luna is an unreliable chance to possibly kill an enemy, which could expose Silas or any allies near him to more enemies.

Silas's reclass tree, Mercenary, can provide several interesting options. It is not typically worth switching to completely as it has significantly lower strength and mobility, but its promotions and skills can be quite useful.Strong Riposte in particular boosts his damage even further on enemy phase, andSol is a very goodoffensive skill that can greatly improve his survivability. Bow Knight can be a worthwhile alternative to Paladin, as it is notably faster and has more reliable ranged options in the form of bows, also giving him an advantage against enemy fliers. On theConquest route, Bow Knight'sShurikenbreaker is also worth serious consideration due to the extremely dangerous dagger units with theInevitable End skill in Chapter25 andthe Endgame.

Silas is additionally effective at supporting others, as he offers generally usefulpair up bonuses, in strength and both defenses, and later movement. In addition, Cavalier is a valuable class line, making his status as one even more valuable, as it means he can pass it to other units via supports.Ryoma in particular can make great use of this class line, as it provides him more mobility and bulk, the only two areas that Ryoma is noticeably lacking in. Silas himself can also benefit from a support withKaze; Kaze can improve Silas's speed through pair up to allow him to better take advantage of his high strength, and he can also pass downNinja to him—this would have him trade off his mobility in favor of giving him reliable 1−2 range and better speed, also potentially improving his combat.

One great alternative class option is Master Ninja, which is accessed through his A+ support with Kaze. If paired with Sol, it can make Silas a reliable enemy phase tank. What sets Sol apart from other combat skills such asAstra is that it's significantly more reliable than them, and there is no potential drawback to it activating. Guard Stance has 10 increments, and every attack delivered or received fills it up by two. Once it's filled up to ten, Silas is guaranteed to not have to take a hit, meaning that if he's facing a horde of enemies, assuming he's doubling all of these enemies, he'll block every third attack. In those three rounds of combat, he'll make six attacks; assuming his skill stat is 30, on average, he will activate Sol on two of those six attacks, greatly increasing his survivability before accounting for any chances of the enemy missing their attack. If his defense, speed, skill, and strength are raised through tonics and pair-ups, the chances of him dying in many situations are astronomically low.

InBirthright, Silas is the only Cavalier available outside of reclassing; this additionally makes him the only unit capable of performing Shelter strategies. It also gives him a niche in helping with defeat the boss chapters, as he can take advantage of his high mobility to ferry stronger units to the bosses to kill them in few turns, though this is somewhat more limited when compared toBirthright's flying units. He starts with a C in swords and D in lances, granting him immediate access toJavelins and useful swords such as theDual Katana. His high raw attack with the Steel Sword also allows him to OHKO frailer enemies early on. His earlygame performance in general is solid, being readily capable of eliminating enemies by taking advantage of Dual Strikes. If Silas is left in his base class, his combat will likely falter as the game goes on and enemy density becomes greater and greater, necessitating reliable 1−2 range that Silas lacks. Either way, Silas can always offer offer his mounted utility alongside good pair up bonuses for frontline units. However, if given his Sol Master Ninja build, this weakness is fixed handily and he becomes one of the best combat units inBirthright due to the enemy composition favoring quantity over quality, a scenario that encourages a strong enemy phase tank. His combat prowess compares favorably to Ryoma, trading some of the latter's damage output and ease of use for much better durability.

InConquest, despite joining at the same level, he unusually has lowerweapon levels than he does inBirthright, denying him use of the Javelin and utility swords at base. Despite this, he remains useful early on, as he is able to take good advantage of his movement to help withConquest's more varied objective types. Inchapter 8, he can easily reach the villages before reinforcements can be called from them, and has the bulk to survive a few physical blows on his way. His ability to take advantage of Dual Strikes can also be quite helpful inchapter 10, as it can allow him clean up more enemies by effectively extending the player phase of strong units likeEffie andCamilla. Movement in general is a very handy facet to have inConquest, as it features many objectives and side objectives that incentivize moving fast. Silas's lategame performance will likely falter, as his stats will not be enough to ORKO its enemies, though he can secure a strong midgame by promoting into Paladin early on. Later on, he can continue to be useful as more of a support unit.

Revelation is easily Silas's strongest outing. Here, he comes with massively increased stats, most notably his very high HP, great strength and defense, and capped weapon levels. His weapon levels mean he can immediately use theSilver Sword obtained in his join chapter, giving him some of the highest raw damage output at base of any unit inRevelation outside of the royals. It also allows him to use nearly any utility weapon he might want, such as theArmorslayer orSpear. Moreover, as he starts at level 18, he can immediately be promoted. With a promotion and a singleArms Scroll, Silas will already be capable of wielding theBrave Sword andBrave Lance, which greatly help mitigate his low speed and allow him to ORKO many enemies; however, this is limited by said weapons only becoming available around chapter 21. Though his join time is late compared to his other outings, here he is a very reliable combat unit that is useful immediately and will likely stay useful through the rest of the path.
