Analysis

Machyua is a playable Sword Fighter who is automatically recruited at the start of Chapter 4, and is the first and only Sword Fighter you get to use until the end of the Munster Escape arc, where you can recruit Shiva. She has high skill and speed, giving her high hit rates and letting her double many enemies. However, her strength base is low, meaning that she may struggle to kill some bulky enemies unless she manages to land a critical hit. She is also frail in taking both physical and magical blows, making prolonged exposure to combat rather risky despite her decent avoid rates, especially during the most combat heavy part of the game in Munster. Crusader Scrolls can help patch up her weaker stats. Even then, she will have poor 1-2 range options, between low-accuracy Hand Axes and magic swords held back by her low magic.

Machuya's promotion is what uniquely sets her apart from the other Sword Fighters in the game, as she promotes to a Mercenary instead of a Swordmaster. This means that she additionally gains the ability to use axes. Unfortunately, her axe rank is awful, as she only gains an E rank upon promotion, only allowing her to use Iron Axes, and putting her 50 weapon experience from using the Brave Axe. Generally, Macha will want to stick to swords for this reason.

Machuya has innate Vantage, which will always allow her to attack first if an enemy engages her in combat during enemy phase. However, unless she can kill the enemy before they can attack (i.e., by critting or having a brave weapon equipped), it does not generally change the outcome of the battle much. Note that because she has Vantage, she cannot benefit from learning Wrath from the Wrath Manual, since the skill requires that the enemy attacks first to activate, which Vantage does not allow.

Machyua - Blade of Gales
Machyua returned to Munster, where none could match her sheer zeal and passion for rebuilding the kingdom. She soon married a fellow soldier who had also served in the war, and gave birth to a child. Despite these changes, her drive to aid Munster never wavered, and she stayed devoted to the city for her entire life.
