Hoshidan Royal Builds (Ryoma, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura) focus on their inherent strengths as members of the Hoshidan royal family. These units often possess excellent growth rates and unique personal skills that make them powerful assets from the early game onwards.
Ryoma: As the heir to the Hoshidan throne, Ryoma is a master swordsman. His personal skill, "Bushido," grants him increased damage and hit when fighting alone. His optimal build focuses on maximizing his Strength and Skill, promoting him into a Swordmaster or a unique Hoshidan class that further enhances his swordsmanship. Equip him with powerful katanas and skills that boost critical hits.
Hinoka: Hinoka is a skilled Pegasus Knight, known for her mobility and aerial combat prowess. Her personal skill, "Soaring," grants her increased damage when initiating combat from a flying position. Her build should prioritize Speed and Skill, promoting her into a Falcon Knight or a similar flying class. Skills that enhance evasion and allow for follow-up attacks are highly beneficial.
Takumi: Takumi is a master archer with incredible accuracy and range. His personal skill, "Slay," grants him increased damage against flying units. His optimal build focuses on maximizing Skill and Speed, promoting him into a Sniper or Bow Knight. Skills that increase critical hit chance and allow for multiple attacks are essential.
Sakura: Sakura is a kind-hearted Princess who excels as a healer. Her personal skill, "Devotion," allows her to heal herself and adjacent allies when she uses a staff. Her build should prioritize Luck and Resistance, promoting her into a Priestess or a similar healing class. Skills that enhance staff range and effectiveness, as well as those that provide defensive buffs, are highly recommended.
