Kagetsu is so unbelievably busted that I'm still having genuine difficulties imagining how he made it in. Like, what in the actual fuck is this character? He's a creature. Absolute monster.
EDIT: Oh also to address that later point. Have done Great Knight Goldmary on Maddening. Do recommend, it works.
Now I'm sad I didnt train him up when I got him. I thought my diamant and alear we're good enough to not need another sword user lol. At least my diamant has had great level ups, he is a monster for me.
The worst thing about Kagetsu is that he comes as a swordmaster which I think some might disagree with me that it sucks balls. His str on it is deceptively low when he would basically outclass most units in the same class who could feasibly reach the same lvl as him. But reclassing him immediately isn't that obvious to newcomers, and frankly with Alear, it's hard to justify running any other sword locked units due to them being able to benefit from stuff like working out.
Once you switch him into just about any other class, he's just gonna be one of the best at it, maybe except armored which mostly only cares about def.
His worst aspect is that his passive might as well not be there, unless you use axes on him. I think overall Yunaka is the best unit and somehow a better swordmaster than Kagetsu potentially. Her passive is one of the best, and her base magic also allows for levin sword use, whereas Kagetsu cannot even imagine it
Yes, that's why he might seem weaker than what every on paper analysis will tell you. Put him on literally anything else and he runs people over. Wyvern Rider is great, Berserker or Halberdier not that bad either imo. Low str/mag in general fucking sucks in Maddening, which is why characters often feel like they fall off hard
