Shiro: Second Generation 2

Learn about Shiro, Ryoma's son, in Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. Discover his stat growths, classes, and why he's a top-tier child unit.

Alright, let's talk about Shiro, Ryoma's son! He's one of those cool kid units you get, and honestly, he's pretty awesome right out of the box. He grew up in the Deeprealms, and while he looks up to his dad, Ryoma, he also sees him as a rival. He's super friendly but also really competitive – sometimes he gets himself into trouble because of it, but hey, he's also apparently a beast at arm wrestling!

Shiro's got some really solid stat growths that are pretty similar to Ryoma's, which is fantastic. He doesn't have any magic growth, but that's totally fine because he makes up for it with great Health and Strength. His Speed is decent, and his Defenses are surprisingly good, especially considering how strong he is. Honestly, there's almost no reason *not* to use him in your army. Plus, having Samurai as his secondary class right from the start is a huge bonus. Shiro is basically a self-sufficient powerhouse; he comes with everything he needs to be amazing, just like his dad. The only thing Ryoma has over him is that legendary sword, the Rajinto, which Shiro doesn't get.

When it comes to his classes, Shiro starts as a Spear Fighter and can branch into Samurai. This combination is super strong. He doesn't need a lot of investment to become a really valuable member of your team. In fact, he's one of the best child units you can get in the game and will definitely serve you well throughout your playthrough.
