Opinion

A big complaint about Donnel is that the Villager class cannot upgrade into anything directly. The useful thing about his base class is learning the “Underdog” skill at Level 15. After that, he must be changed to a different class before upgrading to a newer one.

He works out okay thanks to the extra level up opportunities he gets, but when you train your other units diligently, it comes down to preference.

If you have time to train him, however, he becomes an incredible unit, especially when made a Hero (personal favorite). He will likely max out most of his stats thanks to his great growths compounded with his skills, so it comes down to whichever class you prefer.

He has a great skill and class range – a lot of hard hitting classes with useful skills. You may want to consider who he passes this skill down to. He is the only one with it in the game.

Join Chrom, brother to Ylisse’s empress and commander of its forces, in a fantasy world teetering on the brink of war. It’s your duty to guide a team of Ylisse’s finest soldiers - knights, mages, archers, and more - against the marauding Plegian bandits. To succeed, you will need to carefully choose the units you take into battle. As you lead your team through battles across maps that span entire kingdoms, your army will grow. Some characters are willing to join you quickly, while others may need more persuasion. Each character earns experience in battle, leveling up and gaining strength and abilities as they do so. It’s up to you to guide their moves, choose their weapons, and direct their attacks.
