Weekly Unit Spotlight: Yerilla

Something came up last Friday and Yerilla was not able to make her spotlight debut, but this Friday she gets to shine! The duchess' description?

A well respected noble, duchess, and friend of Syllish's late mother, she is regal and beautiful, but is known to miscalculate her boundaries, sneaking through people's things and getting in allies' personal affairs. She means well, but can't seem to handle not knowing everything.

Lady Yerilla is the only wyvern rider recruit. Far later in the campaign, Hernanda, a wyvern lord, is recruited, but she is for the most part inferior to other units and also serves a very different combat role in comparison to Yerilla. Yerilla's strengths?

• HP stat: Yerilla's HP growth is very high, lying at 80%. With such a nice HP cushion, Yerilla can survive some hefty hits, even with her unreliable defensive stats.
• Offensive capabilities: Yerilla is proficient in wielding physical and magical weapons. Her strength and magic growths are both 60%, making her dangerous for any enemy to deal with. If Yerilla is promoted to Wyvern Stormer (A.K.A. this project's Malig Knight), she can become a potent tome user as well as a dangerous axe flier.
• Intrusive: Yerilla's personal skill, Intrusive, allows Yerilla and her allies to pursue any target Yerilla fails to kill on their first shared round of combat by reducing that enemy's mov. by 2. This means that any unit can benefit from Yerilla's personal, especially if the mov. reduction keeps the enemy away from a fragile ally.
• Excellent bases: Yerilla will join the party with high base stats, allowing her to triumph over foes in the next few chapters following her recruitment with ease.

Yerilla's weaknesses?

• Unusable speed stat: Yerilla's status as a cannon unfortunately does not save her from being horribly slow. With a base of 5 and a growth of 30%, without heavy investment, she will remain a unit that will be constantly doubled, and she certainly won't be doubling any enemies.
• Lackluster growths: Outside of her offenses and HP, Yerilla does not have a single growth that surpasses 45%. This makes her a risky unit to put EXP into, because she may or may not live up to be a valuable unit outside of her flier status and her reputation as a heavy hitter.
• Inability to finish most foes: Due to Yerilla's low speed, as well as her lower growths in things like skill, unless Yerilla can one-shot a foe, she won't finish them. Yerilla flourishes under proper support and investment, but cannot do an entirely effective job on her own.

So Yerilla is a cannon with some issues. Her lack of proper stat growth is counterbalanced by her high bases, as well as her surefire damage output. She demands a stat booster or two to complete her, but after that, she becomes undoubtedly an asset to the group, especially because she is the first recruited flier.
