Character Says Perfect Response
I wish I could always be my ideal self, but reality makes that quite difficult. What say you? Encourage him to try to attain it.
It’d be pretty great if you came from outside Fodlan too. Of course, there’s no evidence of that. Laugh and agree it would be neat.
I’ve spent seven years in Fodlan. Can’t believe it’s been that long. Ask her where she’ll go next.
More and more people are making names for themselves in this war. And the bigger the name, the more their head is worth. Declare that you won’t be outdone.
The constant battles make times like this precious. Be happy to hear that from her.
We almost won the battle between Dagda and the Empire-but then one man changed everything. Declare that you’ll surpass him.
Yep. Nice and Quiet. Nod quietly.

How to Use Shamir

While playing as bow class, Shamir deals tons of AOE damage suppressing down enemies making it harder to directly rush you.

Her combo attacks are all mid-long-range attacks that revolve around knocking back enemies. This becomes advantageous if enemy units are at an objective or are trying to push
