Forrest (Troubadour)

Forrest, the son of Xander and a potential recruit through the Marriage & Children mechanics, joins the player's army as a Troubadour. This class is a cornerstone of support units, focusing on healing and buffing allies. As a Troubadour, Forrest wields Staves, allowing him to restore HP to damaged units and cure status ailments. His starting inventory will typically include a basic Heal staff. While not a primary combatant, his support capabilities are invaluable, especially in the challenging maps of Conquest. Forrest's personal skill, Amaterasu, grants adjacent allies +4 HP recovery at the start of each turn, making him an excellent unit to keep near your front lines. This passive healing can significantly reduce the reliance on consumable healing items and dedicated healer turns. When promoting, Forrest can choose between the Strategist or Great Master classes. A Strategist offers offensive magic and further staff utility, while a Great Master focuses on physical combat and unique healing abilities. His growth rates lean towards Magic and Resistance, making him a strong candidate for the Strategist path if offensive magic is desired, or a resilient healer regardless of promotion choice.

Forrest's recruitment is tied to the marriage of his father, Xander, to a female unit. Once married, Xander will eventually have a child, and Forrest will become available for recruitment in a subsequent paralogue chapter. The paralogue itself will likely involve a specific objective, such as defeating a set number of enemies or reaching a certain point on the map within a turn limit. ensure Xander is in a position to survive and engage in combat during the chapter where his child is recruited to maximize Forrest's potential. His base stats will be influenced by Xander's and his mother's stats, so careful consideration of Xander's pairings can impact Forrest's overall effectiveness. For instance, marrying Xander to a unit with high Luck can pass down beneficial stat growths to Forrest.
