Profile

Donnel is a villager from Ylisse, and is a common fellow who likes plowing fields. Due to the fact that earlier his recruitment into the Shepherds, Donnel had never left his hamlet, he is interested in many things. Donnel appears as a child in makeshift armor wielding a Lance on foot. He lives with his female parent before leaving to join Chrom'south army. His male parent was killed by Roddick trying to protect his married woman and Donnel. Upon meeting Chrom he introduces himself equally Donny before quickly correcting himself with his real proper name. Nevertheless, some members of Chrom's army refer to him every bit Donny, such as Lissa and Chrom themselves. Donnel is a scrap younger than Lissa. Donnel wears a pot over his head in order to hide his messy hair.

One 24-hour interval, Donnel'south village is attacked by bandits, only he is able to escape. Donnel encounters Chrom and asks him to save the kidnapped villagers. He leads them to the bandit'due south hideout and Chrom asks him to fight with them. Though he tells Chrom he's just a regular villager, after some encouraging words from Chrom, he musters enough courage to fight with them. Afterwards defeating the bandits and Donnel gets a bit stronger, he joins Chrom's army. Alternatively, if Donnel does not go stronger after defeating the bandits, he will remain in his hamlet and cannot be recruited.

In the epilogue, Donnel returns back home to his village and lives a quiet life with his mother and his wife if he has one. He never returned to battle after this.

Personality

Donnel is a typical hamlet boy "from the sticks" and is unaccustomed to life outside of his village. Though he was hesitant to e'er enter battle, Donnel musters enough courage to stand for himself and somewhen join Chrom's army. His spoken communication is vastly different compared to the rest of the army, speaking with a southern-farmer accent, saying phrases such equally "git 'r done!".

In his support with Nowi, it is revealed Donnel'due south father was an avid stone collector until he was killed, making him acquit his father'due south favourite stone ever since, with his supports with Lissa, revealing that his dream is to travel the globe looking for the secrets to his father'southward rock.

Donnel is well versed in survival and practical skills including fauna trapping, fishing, and cooking, as shown in his supports with Panne and both Robins, with his supports with Kellam even proverb he grows nutrient for the ground forces too. Many people in the army note of his incredible aptitude in learning due to his eagerness to improve himself and find his true potential, with perhaps the nigh extreme example being when he completely memorizes a legal tome, lent to him by Maribelle, which fifty-fifty she herself hasn't fully washed then notwithstanding.

Overall

Subjective: The post-obit part of this article is based upon the editor'due south personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not exist applicable for all readers.

Base Grade

Donnel is horrible when you first go him. But if you stick with him you lot can end up with an extremely powerful unit of measurement for a proficient clamper of the game. The best way one could describe him every bit a unit of measurement is this you could put the growth of everyone else on a graph and while for nearly the outset viii maps on the game he may seem useless. However if you stick with Donnel towards midgame you lot got a very powerful unit only rivaled by Second Generation units for the almost role. Still, one issue to Donnel though his personal caps are lower than most of the cast however by that point game's mostly washed with but this is an issue on the harder difficulties. Ultimately the selection of if Donnel's worth using or not is upward to the player if they want to put the effort into making an extremely powerful unit or would rather non deal with a liability that may seem rather weak compared to the 2nd Generation.

Reclassing

Donnel's reclassing options are Mercenary and Fighter, both of which are a step to a higher place his Villager days. It is also worth mentioning that Donnel will be reverted dorsum to E rank in whatever form he reclasses into, forcing you to use Bronze Weapons or expend Arms Scrolls on him to allow him access to stronger weaponry.

Later grabbing Underdog, information technology is highly recommended to go straight to Mercenary, since his immediate conquering of Armsthrift combined with his high Luck makes him extremely skillful at extending the lifespan of rarer weapons. The class besides balances out Donnel's stats with skilful speed, skill, and strength and good defense. In addition to the stat compliments, the Mercenary course will offer Donnel the Patience skill, which will increase his Hit and Avoid during the enemy turn. His Hero promotion from this class yields Sol, allowing him to heal himself during battle, and with his adequately high Skill, Sol should activate ofttimes. Hero is Donnel'south near well-balanced class in terms of stats, abilities, and weapons and is recommended equally his end class. Reclassing into Bow Knight will offer Donnel access to Bowbreaker, a useful skill to complement Counter from the Warrior class, which will not activate against ranged attacks from weapons such as bows.

Fighter boosts Donnel'southward offensive capabilities as much as possible while slightly dropping his defenses. This course emphasizes axes letting him wield Hand Axes for range until he promotes into either Hero or Warrior. Zeal and HP +five are good skills for Donnel to utilise even outside of this class. However, over time, these skills may brainstorm to lose relevance as Donnel begins to reclass multiple times, leading to them being swapped for more versatile skills such as Sol. Warrior adds college Strength caps, Bows, and Counter to his repertoire, the latter of which is specially useful in conjunction with Sol from the Hero class. Unfortunately, due to the overlap of Mercenary and Fighter both promoting to Hero, Donnel has access to only 3 upgraded classes total. This gives him a rather limited, but useful, skill pool.

Overall, Donnel has to exist reclassed to be a unit worth using, as Villager is useless in the long run. Despite his somewhat shallow range of abilities, Donnel tin still be a very capable unit with skill combos like Sol and Counter, with Bowbreaker alleviating the combo's range weakness to an extent and Patience farther extending his survival during the enemy turn. Armsthrift volition allow Donnel to wield expensive and forged weaponry for longer periods of fourth dimension, making him a prime candidate for holding fabulous weapons like Helswath. Ultimately, Donnel's biggest strengths lie in his fast growths and Luck stat. His growths and the benefits of Bent let him to cap out faster than nearly all other units, making him a very stiff mid- to-lategame unit with some early-game investment and decent preparation.

Inheritance

Donnel can be a great father due to his unique classing situation. Donnel's Aptitude skill is slap-up to pass downward to assist in stat edifice, though information technology becomes a useless power in one case they are capped. Underdog is besides worth passing downwardly, since children characters are recruited in a lower tier and at a lower level than other units. Both of these skills are particularly good to laissez passer down to his daughters since they are unable to become Villagers themselves. If not, Counter works well equally another pass downward to his daughters. Because of Donnel's male-exclusive classes, he will laissez passer down unlike classes to any daughters he may have. Daughters volition gain the ability to turn into Pegasus Knights, making Donnel an splendid father for Noire, Nah, and Kjelle, as he gives them access to Galeforce. The addition of the Troubadour course can allow his potential daughters to gain more supportive skills from Valkyrie or proceeds Renewal from War Cleric.
