Let's break down what makes Saizo tick:

How to Use Saizo Effectively

Saizo is a real powerhouse when it comes to offense. His high Strength and Skill mean he hits hard and accurately. What's really interesting about Saizo is his Magic growth – it's surprisingly decent! This opens up some unique strategies. You can either lean into magical classes or use magical Shuriken to exploit enemy weaknesses, whether they have high Defense or high Resistance.

The key to using Saizo effectively is to play to his strengths while managing his weaknesses. His dual offensive potential is fantastic for piercing through enemy lines. Just keep an eye on his Speed. If he's facing off against really fast enemies, especially other Ninjas, he might get hit twice before he can even attack. Try to pair him with units that can boost his Speed or protect him, or use items that increase Speed if you have them.

Basically, focus on letting him dish out damage, and be mindful of his Speed stat to avoid him getting overwhelmed!
