Overview
Machyua is a very worthwhile character to train for being the only sword fighter to promote to Hero instead of Swordmaster since it means she will get higher strength and defense promotion bonuses while still being able to cap skill and speed, and the fact she has Vantage makes her even more worthwhile. As a Hero, she trades movement bonus for the use of axes, although at the lowest rank. As a result, she will also have troubles keeping up with mounted units on outdoor maps over long distances, and notably Brighton whom she supports.

Machyua's stats and growths are solid, and her somewhat low strength is compensated by a Pursuit Critial Coefficient of 3 that helps her criticals a lot, especially when she uses a Killing Edge or a Killer Axe. She gets really fast and skilled as she levels up. In the meantime, keep on eye on her since her defense isn't that great when she joins and sadly, she doesn't get mutual support from Brighton that would have help her evasion.

She could use the Neir Scroll so she can swing axes without suffering a terrible loss of attack speed. If you trained her well in order to raise her axe weapon rank and building her constitution, Machyua can make full use of Master Axes as they works great with Vantage. A Master Sword, on the other hand, proves to be deadly with its 10% critical bonus and Machyua's PCC will punish any enemy that somehow still stands after the first round. Likewise, the Continue Manual interacts fairly well with Vantage, and she's also one of the most benefiting user of the King Sword, which basically is an even better and lighter Master Sword, in addition to granting Charm to assist allies in the front where Machyua is most of the time.
