A recurring character type in the Fire Emblem series that is often good until some point late in the game. A Jeigan character is often a promoted
unit that joins on the very first chapter, and is used by players, especially experienced ones, to keep turn counts at a minimum.
Jeigans are often
underrated by players who care more about how a
unit's stats are at the highest possible level rather than how they are in certain chapters at certain levels.
