Yep we finnaly get to play as another sword fighter...to bad we can recruit him until a bit later.
Note that you can play and get Dias on Rena's story not Claude's.
Anyway Dias is a solid fighter you can;t go wrong with him as you can see.
Lastly the boss is very easy as long as your using Dias kill the shielders first as they will overwhelm Rena very quickly the good news is that even on universe mode Dias won't take much damage at all you have to try and fail at this fight.
Lastly I recommend level grinding in the forest for a bit so that Claude and Celine can catch up with rena.
PS:Next time we head to the new continent OR fight a boss that is exclusive to Rena's side...yeah I'm not recruiting Ashton but if you want to then follow this guide below the reason is that I used him on rena's side last time years ago on the PS1 version and I want someone else instead.
