“	Fergus the sellsword, at yer service. An' I'm this close to bein' done with Jugdral, lemme tell ya. Saw a bunch of soldiers makin' trouble fer a young lass, so I stepped in. Got arrested fer the effort. Terrible story, really.	”	— Fergus in Chapter 4

Analysis

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

Fergus joins in Chapter 4. His strength primarily revolves around his 5 FCM. Fergus's high FCM allows him to reach 100% crit rates on his follow-up attack with 20% crit rates, which he can do via a variety of means, the most straightforward one being equipping a Killing Edge. This is especially useful during the Munster chapters where he can reliably one-round enemy armors with the Rapier if Karin is within support range. His high Sword Rank furthers his capabilities, as he can wield the aforementioned Rapier at base and is close to having the rank for the Flame Sword (if it was brought) and the Brave Sword. His growths aren't great, but with some help with Crusader Scrolls, he can patch them up. The Ced Scroll, for example, is a great benefit for him, greatly increasing his speed growth and allowing him to double more consistently.

His combat prowess becomes less notable after Munster as more units can reliably one-round enemies, but he will remain one of the more useful mounted units due to solid stats and weapon access, which let him capture enemies well. Additionally, free knights and rangers have some of the lowest dismounting penalties in the game as they wield swords when mounted and dismounted, which will allow Fergus to retain his strengths regardless of whether or not he is fighting indoors. He has poor magic, which hurts his ability to use magic swords and as a result his 1-2 range combat is weak without a magic boost via a Pure Water or Magic Up. Magic swords are still his best choice for killing bosses, though he will need significant investment to replicate the anti-boss offense of units like Asbel. Towards the end of the game, the player will acquire the Beo's Sword—a powerful personal weapon with high crit that can only be wielded by Fergus and Diarmuid and grants its wielder Vantage and Wrath (though the former cancels out the latter) with up to 60 uses.

Endings

Fergus, Carefree Free Knight
After the fighting was all over, Fergus vanished almost immediately. Was he an illegitimate son of the legendary knight Beowolf? A long-lost prince of the Connacht royal family? Rumors persist about this mysterious figure, but with Fergus gone, the truth has been lost forever.
