Analysis

Xander comes as a prepromotedPaladin inChapter 16 ofConquest, where he is auto recruited on turn 1, andChapter 17 ofRevelation, where he is auto recruited on turn 2 alongsideLeo and their retainers. In both routes, he will be an excellent all around unit, giving extra movement to other characters throughPair Up, rescuing certain units through the use ofShelter and one-shotting or dealing great damage to enemy units. He can also be used to weaken enemies to train up your weaker units, but you should have a fairly strong team by the time Xander joins in both games.

Xander joins with high bases and growths in every area besidesmagic andresistance, along with his personal swordSiegfried. Siegfried gives Xander a reliable 1-2 range option, +10dodge and +4 defense, on top of having 11might, making it easily one of the best swords inFates. He comes with the skills Shelter,Elbow Room andChivalry. Shelter as mentioned earlier is great for getting units out of bad positions and gives Xander additional utility. Elbow room provides him with +3 damage to enemy units when he is onterrain with no effect, which is the most common terrain in most maps inFates. Lastly, Chivalry lets him deal +2 more damage as well as take -2 damage from enemy units with full HP, further improving his damage dealing anddefense. His Paladin class gives him access to swords and lances, though he will rarely be using weapons other than Siegfried aside from the occasional situational weapons such asBeast Killers andArmorslayers. While in the Paladin class, Xander learns the skillsDefender andAegis. Defender gives +1 to every stat when paired up with another units, which will be almost always, making it an excellent skill for a frontline unit like Xander. Aegis, on the other hand, will halve damage from most 2 range weapons; while useful in some situations, Xander already has great defense and due to his low resistance he should be kept away from enemy mages unless he can one-shot them anyway.

Despite having both a good base and growth inspeed, Xander can struggle at doubling most enemies and can even get doubled if he is unlucky with his level ups. This can easily be fixed by giving Xander aSpeedwing, aSpeed Tonic or a speed Pair up. For this reason his best pair up partner is often considered to beCharlotte; she grants him additional strength and speed, allowing him to double enemies more often, and she also has a fairly quick support with Xander. If you have not trained up Charlotte, then it can be dangerous to bring her along for some of the later maps and you may want to use a unit that does more than just support Xander. This isn't a big problem though, as any speed pair up will do fine and Xander will kill most things that he doubles anyway.

In regards to reclassing, Xander has three options:Great Knight,Wyvern Lord andMalig Knight. Great Knight lowers several stats minimally except the -4 resistance, but raises his HP and strength by two, and his defense by three. This in combination with Siegfried turns Xander into a mobile tank, allowing him to take less damage from physical attacks and possibly even endure attacks from effective weaponry. He will also getLuna andArmored Blow in this class, further raising his combat potential and defense. This class does make his weakness to magic even more noticeable and will lower his potential of doubling anything but the slowest enemies withoutWary Fighter. When reclassing to theWyvern Rider class tree, the first two skills that he learns in Wyvern Lord or Malig Knight areStrength +2 andLunge. Strength +2 is only useful when Xander is still in the midst of building up low weapon ranks, and will lose its effectiveness over time, while Lunge is useless in most situations and usually is not worth the skill slot. Wyvern Lord as a class lowers his speed, resistance, and luck, but raises his skill and defense, along with giving him the ability to fly over terrain. The two skills Xander learns in this class areRally Defense andSwordbreaker. Rally Defense is a great support skill allowing Xander to buff his allies when he is not fighting, and Swordbreaker is an excellent skill that gives Xander the upper hand against powerful sword users such asSwordmasters andHeros, as well asRyoma inChapter 25. The only real flaw of this class would be that Xander can not use Siegfried while in it, but he can still keep it in his inventory as he will get its bonuses regardless of whether it's equipped or not. When reclassed to Malig Knight, however, as Xander has low magic and is not innately proficient in axes or tomes, as well as lowering his speed and only giving +1 defense compared to Paladin, it's often considered a poor class. Despite these setbacks, with the desired Speedwing, some good pair ups, and potentially reclassing later in the game when he is a higher level, he can still gain this class's useful skills. WhileSavage Blow isn't as helpful since Xander is very good at taking out enemy's when doubling,Trample makes reaching one-rounding thresholds much easier since a majority of classes in Hoshido, and the late-game Nohrians, are non-mounted.

Xander has very usefulFriendship Seal options to utilize extra classes.Kaze gives him theNinja class tree, whereMechanist isn't too relevant since Xander cannot use Siegfried in this class, and he'll have to grind his bow and shuriken ranks all the way up from E. TheMaster Ninja class he also gains is much more useful, as it fixes his speed problems, and allows him to continue using Siegfried.Lethality is way too unreliable to be worth it, andShurikenfaire is okay for boosting damage, but Siegfried is already a 1-2 range weapon, somewhat mitigating the need to use shurikens since other units are better at using them to apply debuffs.Laslow gives himHero andBow Knight for classes, where both improve his speed stat, and give useful skills likeStrong Riposte for extra damage on enemy phase,Sol for life-steal healing, andAxebreaker andShurikenbreaker for a massive amount of hit and avoid against those respective weapon types. The latter skill is immensely useful onConquest Lunatic to avoid the debilitating debuffs from theInevitable End Master Ninja's andMaid's inChapter 25 and theEndgame. However, this friendship is not as needed since marryingSelena gives him these classes as well, andSiegbert is perfectly fine with her as his mother.Ryoma is aRevelation exclusive, but gives Xander the sword-fighting classes ofSwordmaster andMaster of Arms. The former'sSwordfaire perfectly complements his ability to use Siegfried, andAstra gives the ability to hit five times to potentially do more damage than two full powered hits. The latter'sLife and Death also boosts damage. Both classes have the ability to give access toDuelist's Blow for extra avoid on player phase, andVantage to always strike first at 50% or below HP, which can be very powerful if Xander stacks damage-dealing skills to shred through enemies.

Overall, Xander is an excellent unit who will be the cornerstone of almost every team, as his weaknesses are few and easy to fix and his contributions are not to be understated. Fittingly Xander stands at the top, as one of the best units inFates.

Personality

Xander is the crown prince of Nohr and next in line to succeed his father,Garon. As such he's been trained to be a king since his childhood and because of this he's shown to be quite distant from other people, including his family. Despite this Xander is a family man, showing great care towards his three younger half-siblings and even his adopted sibling,Corrin, as well. While he is often away in battle, he has a surprising knowledge of many of their preferences, hobbies and habits, causing evenCamilla to acknowledge that his knowledge rivals even hers.

Xander is considered to be a model knight, he's fiercely loyal to his father and is ready to do anything for the sake of his country,Nohr. Xander is also extremely honorable as shown inConquest, as he refuses to followZola's plan to kill the Hoshidan royals unarmed in order to end the war swiftly, because he considered it dishonorable and does not tolerateKotaro's plan to useKagero as a bargaining chip to forceHoshido to surrender and is ready to kill him for his deceitful actions. Despite this he views that no one is truly evil, but merely shades of right and wrong that stems from their character, though he has his limits and will not tolerate cowardly and disgraceful people such asHans andIago, and is willing to kill them behind Garon's back to maintain Nohr's honor.

Having seen numerous battlefields, Xander is commonly depicted as battleworn, having come to terms with the numerous lives he has taken for his country, as well as losing his previous two retainers. Because of this, Xander often tries to distance himself from others, even though he cares for others deeply. Xander is also shown to regret many of his actions in his Corrin andNyx supports, the latter even implying that Xander has had suicidal thoughts.

Xander is described as "stubborn" by his trophy inSuper Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS. This can be seen in Chapter 26 ofBirthright when Xander is unwilling to give up a duel with Corrin despite the death of his own sister and the intervention of his retainers.

Despite being shown as clever in his supports, Xander refuses to see how his father has changed and will even attack his siblings if they dare disobey Garon, shown inBirthright, when he attacks Corrin for accusing Garon of being evil. He does uncover how Garon is no longer human and has been replaced by another entity shown inConquest, after Garon was exposed in his monster form by sitting on the Hoshidan throne, he turns against Garon and joins Corrin's side to kill him while also rallying his siblings to fight Garon, and inRevelation, after he sees Garon having a conversation with Anankos and ordering him to destroy Hoshido and Nohr, he decides to betray him and join Corrin.

Xander often contradicts himself as he dislikes war, but is willing to help his enemies if he considers the means of victory dishonorable. He also beratesCharlotte andLaslow for their flirting ways, but is completely fine with his retainer,Peri, going on killing sprees. This is usually considered a problem with the writing inFates, rather than a character flaw of Xander.
