How to Use Shez

Tips on Using Shez

Pros	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.
Cons	Restricted to the Fluegel Class to be most effective. Even though they can excel in any Class after some grinding, there are other units already excelling in those.
