Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

As the first unit with access to chain attacks, Boucheron typically gets relegated to early game chip damage, attacking an enemy to weaken them so that another unit can take advantage of the extra chain attack damage to more easily secure the kill. Notably, this chip damage from chain attacks can add up quite quickly against the rather durable bosses Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, helping to bring down these daunting early game foes a fair bit more easily. Beyond these chapters and going into Brodia, deployment slots become restricted, and Boucheron has to compete with his fellow early game units for continued use.

Boucheron's base stats are pretty poor. His personal strength is a measly 1 and his personal growth a mediocre 20%, which, while passable before Second Seals are buyable due to Axe Fighter's solid strength base, stunts his offenses when other units can reclass into Warrior. Strength is a very important stat in Engage, as doubling thresholds are much easier to hit than two-shotting thresholds and tools like Augment + Warp and Bonded Shield put more focus on offense than durability. His bases stats in general are overall not impressive, thought at least his non-strength growths are good if he is used long-term. His speed in particular, while not bad, isn't high enough for him to reliably double without a significant amount of investment.

Boucheron's two immediate promotions are Berserker and Warrior. Berserker has the advantage of slightly higher Strength and Build, and he can promote into it earlier due to not needing to wait for Bow proficiency. In spite of that, Warrior is generally better in almost every other way: his other stats are higher, he gains the added flexibility of Bows such as the Killer Bow and Longbow for both his own combat and Chain Attacks, and he gets access to the Merciless skill at Level 5, greatly increasing his damage against any broken enemy. Warrior is one of the strongest physical classes in the game for the aforementioned advantages, and Boucheron being able to access it without having to use a Second Seal is a notable boon among your earlygame roster, allowing you to use it on another unit or conserve the gold for other purchases. Wyvern Knight is another excellent physical class that grants him the utility of flight, letting him navigate over difficult terrain, as well as use either B swords or lances in addition to his A rank axes, with the former being preferable due to swords generally being better than lances.

Marth is an excellent choice of Emblem Ring for Boucheron, especially in the earlygame thanks to Mercurius grinding; his stat buffs to Strength, Dexterity and Speed as well as Divine Speed and Break Defenses help to shore up his raw power by letting him land extra hits. However, Marth is a very contested Emblem early on, and Boucheron has some of the worst payoff of any early game unit due to his strength issues. Roy is also tailor-made for Boucheron, giving him heaps of raw stats through Rise Above in addition to his already massive Strength gains. Ike is a primarily defensive Emblem, but he does still provide a welcome Strength boost, and the sheer durability he provides as well as his extremely heavy weapons are a fairly good fit for Boucheron's very high HP and Build, respectively. Eirika's additional damage from skills such as Lunar Brace and Bravery (and both when engaged) can complement Boucheron's good Speed fairly well, as these bonuses will get double the value on a unit that can double enemies.
