So, you may have thought that Sigurd was the best character in the game. You may have thought that nobody was as broken as him. You may have thought that no one as strong as him...And you'd be right, but this guy definitely takes second place (yeah, I know there's Holsety!Levin, but he really only gets to flex his muscles in Chapter 5 if you're moving at a decent clip).

I mean look at that Strength! Even Sigurd doesn't start with as much! Plus, he has access to almost every single lance in the game. What this means is that his attack is so absurdly high, that he's one of the few units in this game who can not only survive, but thrive, even WITHOUT Pursuit. But if he DOES get it...oh baby!

Plus, the guy's Defensive growth is also through the roof. So essentially, this guy actually manages to be an even stronger version of Lex, the same guy who is already one of the strongest Generation 1 units you will get. Oh, and Continue is awesome of course. It's like Pursuit, except, it actually allows you to attack twice BEFORE the enemy ever gets a chance to hit you. Of course, as you can see, it doesn't activate nearly as often as Pursuit (which is 100%), so of course you can't build strategies that rely upon it. But when it DOES activate for Cuan, you can pretty much say goodbye to whoever he's fighting.

So really, Cuan's only got two issues. One, he leaves after Chapter 3. And secondly, he's exclusively a lance user, when almost every enemy in his first two chapters use axes. But he's tough enough to take the hits, he has enough Move to get out of danger, and he's already got a Javelin to snipe with, so it's all good.

So, 8/10. I WOULD give him a 9/10...but his early departure is an obvious black eye on an otherwise impeccable performance record.
