I just want to say that I personally really enjoyed Sophia in this hack and thought her balance changes while minor made her stand out as a very solid unit. First, the free Barrier and Torch staff go a long way and by spamming those she'll easily hit level 10 by the end of the chapter. Since she can find a guiding ring at the end of the chapter this means she can instantly promote to druid which will bump her staff rank from B to A. With A staves, she can now use warp which was also attained in chapter 14. Compared to Saul she will have higher magic unless Saul is very magic blessed and compared to Ellen, Sophia requires far less investment into to make useful. I'd argue that until Niime joins in chapter 19/20 Sophia is the best staffer in the game. Now there are a couple really big maps before Niime joins that having a warper comes in handy and being the best of them puts Sophia in a real solid spot for her usability. Even after Niime joins she can contribute with Physic, Restore, Torch, Barrier, Sleep etc. The point I'm trying to make is that even though Sophia's combat is still complete booty, her amazing utility really makes her stand out. It can't be understated how good A staves are and for a solid 6 or 7 chapter stretch she's the best staffer in the game and that counts for a lot in my book.

Can someone help me with Owains growth rate if his father is frederick and Owain is a dread fighter?
