Dayan has good bases and great weapon ranks. Dayan's main selling point, however, is that he joins right before chapter 21, and he is one of the few units who can reliably one-round the powerful Wyvern Lords with a Silver Bow, and pretty much the only one who can do so without any investment. His 20 Speed allows him to reliably double most enemies at base. Less notable, but still worth mentioning is his base C rank in swords, which allows him to wield things such as Steel swords, [[Wyrmslayer|Wyrmslayers]] (very useful during enemy phase of Chapters 21 and 23) and [[Killing Edge|Killing Edges]] at base, so he isn't stuck to 2 range if need be.

Dayan's only real issue is the fact that he and [[Juno]] cannot be used at the same time. Both are incredible ferry bots, and both are 8 movement units. The main difference is Dayan has good combat while Juno has flier utility. It comes down to preference of Sin/Sue vs. Shanna/Thea for which one you'll get and preference on which route you'd like to go. Both are extremely useful units in their own rights though.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

While Dayan has good bases and great weapon ranks, his main selling point is that he joins right before chapter 21, and he is one of the few units who can reliably one-round the powerful Wyvern Lords with a Silver Bow, and pretty much the only one who can do so without any investment. His 20 Speed allows him to reliably double most enemies at base. Less notable, but still worth mentioning is his base C rank in swords, which allows him to wield weapons such as Steel swords, Wyrmslayers (very useful during enemy phase of Chapters 21 and 23) and Killing Edges at base, so he isn't locked to 2 range if need be.

Dayan's only real issue is the fact that he and Juno cannot be used at the same time. Both are incredible ferry bots, and both are 8 movement units. The main difference is Dayan has good combat while Juno has flier utility. It comes down to preference of Sin/Sue vs. Shanna/Thea for which one you'll recruit and preference on which route you'd like to go. But all the same, both are extremely useful units in their own rights.
