Class for Shigure?

[AlphaDialga7]

So I'm planning ahead for my Lunatic Mode Classic Revelation Run. I'm pairing Kaden with Azura, but i'm having a little trouble deciding what class Shigure should be.

Berserker from S-Supporting Velouria stood out to me (Azura and Keatons modifiers are attack/speed/skill oriented, which would help a Berserker greatly) Here are his growths and caps as a Berserker:

Shigure(Berserker) Growths: HP/70% Str/67.50% Mag/7.50% Skl/50% Spd/75% Lck/37.50% Def/35% Res/32.50%

Shigure(Berserker) Caps:  HP/70 Str/42 Mag/26 Skl/31 Spd/39 Lck/27 Def/23 Res/28

His awful Magic growth diverted my attention away from Falcon Knight and to Kinshi Knight. Kinshi Knight is generally a lackluster class, used as a Flier Killer niche. One of my favorite tactics involve sending a squadron of fliers (Wyvern Lords, Falcon Knights, Malig Knights, etc.) at a small group of enemies. With Shigure's Personal Skill and a few supportive skills, he could be a great assist unit and Flier Killer.

Shigure(Kinshi Knight) Growths: HP/40% Str/47.50% Mag/7.50% Skl/50% Spd/55% Lck/55% Def/35% Res/47.50%

Shigure(Kinshi Knight) Caps: HP/50 Str/29 Mag/27 Skl/32 Spd/37 Lck/37 Def/21 Res/34

Berserker's stats are no-doubt better than Kinshi Knight, but Kinshi Knight provides a rare opportunity to apply tactics instead of raw force. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would say Kinshi Knight, even thought there are few flier dominated maps in that route which the Kinshi Knight reins. The perks is that Shigure can act as a support attacker. Each turn he can  either support by buffing, or attack. Being a flyer it is easier to have dual attacks for more damage. Just remember that the strongest archer in Revelation is Takumi, and best characters are most of the royals. And there are few strong ax fighters, due to Revelation's weird base stats.  Just my two cents.

Thank you, I decided to go with Kinshi Knight because i compared Berserker Shigure to Charlotte and Shigure sacrificed several stats for a few more points in his defensive stats, which Berserkers don't like. I tried to make Shigure more support oriented, but these few skills stood out to me. Bowfaire, Bowbreaker, Warding Blow, Countermagic, and Amaterasu. Bowfaire to do more damage with his main weapon, Bowbreaker to divert his weakness, Countermagic to stand up against mages who attack from a range. This only leaves Shuriken users as the one class who can attack Shigure so he can attack back. Warding Blow works with him because the only ranged flier besides Kishi Knight (which Bowbreaker has covered) is Malig Knight, who uses Tomes. I went with Amaterasu to try to lean towards the supportive side, but I made him seem attack oriented. If you could recommend a few supportive skills that would work with him, that would be great. Thanks.

Try to pick a several rally skills speed/strength, to have synergy with his personal skill. Bowfaire for damage output, bowbreaker for patching up his weakness, warding blow if  he is going to  fight mages head on, Rend Heaven to improve his match-up against  tough classes, darting blow to improve doubling. Amaterasu to aid nearby allies. Would not recommend counter-magic since the class need high  health. It  is up to you to choose what make you comfortable.

Alright, I think I've decided Rally Strength, Rally Speed, Bowfaire, Bowbreaker, and Amaterasu. Thank you for all your help.
