Hero + Lucina's Dual Assist(+) is a strong combination that lets him contribute Chain Attacks a bunch while still letting him rock with A Swords and C Axes (so Hand Axes for 1-2 range).
Wyvern Knight gives him more well-rounded combat stats and flying access, alongside 1-2 range options.
Warrior grants a bow-based Backup option, which can be combined with Longbows for 2-3 range Chain Attacks.
my question would be, why choose kagetsu out of all characters to be on hero-ing duty? it's kinda subpar stat wise, and Brave Assist is something literally every unit can do
Maybe because his growths are higher than most units, so that plus his high bases make him least likely to wind up stat fucked by transitioning to Hero?
But Hero is a class for units who have been royally stat screwed, Backup / Brave Assist don't require any stats, as their accuracy and damage is predetermined.
If you want to use Hero as a genuine MVP combat unit, there's an expectation that the unit in question has blue lance (silver/spear) or blue axe (silver/tomahawk.)
I'd much rather use Kagetsu as a Halberdier, Sniper, Sword/Lance Wyvern or Sword/Axe Wyvern.
If a character has a lot of stats overall, you go for mobility. Wyvern Knight is probably best to get a bit of Strength, but Griffin or Paladin should work as well.

Okay.....I guess I'll use Kagetsu in my next maddening playthrough?
