 Powerful unit and perfect for using in the offensive. Their Shadowflash skill makes them ideal in large battles as they can clear out large numbers of enemies. Very versatile and can excel even when assigned to different Classes. When used as a Fluegel, their ability to use both magic and melee attacks can be used to your advantage in battle. |

Shez is the new protagonist and a playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Shez is a skilled mercenary on a mission to avenge their fallen comrades after they were killed by the Ashen Demon.
Just like Byleth, Shez has an awakened form that empowers their attacks and prevents them from dying.
