Amigo (アミーゴ, Amīgo?) is a hidden playable character in the games Shining Force Gaiden and Shining Force CD. She is the only healer in the series with the ability to float or fly.
Background
Personality
Amigo hates fighting and is terrified of being hurt. She seemingly travels with the force only because they offer protection.
Strategy
Getting Amigo to Join
Seach the bushes on the right side of the drawbridge at Battle 19 to find Amigo.
Using Amigo
A flying healer, Amigo is more mobile than any other healer in the series, allowing her to stay out of harm's way until she is needed and easily reach wounded characters when that time comes. Unlike Mayfair(the only other healing specialist in Shining Force Gaiden/Shining Force CD Book 1), Amigo can be used in Book 3 of Shining Force CD. With far more HP than Mayfair, plus her floating ability, she is much easier to keep alive.
However, unlike Mayfair, she does not learn Heal and is useless as an offensive unit; her only hope of damaging enemies is with her modest Hell spells. Furthermore, her MP supply is not terribly high, and in most battles it will be exhausted after only one level-up. All of this makes her a very difficult character to keep well-leveled. It does not help that she joins at a low level only four battles from the end of Shining Force Gaiden, and that all four battles are ones where the floating ability is nearly useless.
If you plan on spending some time power-leveling on the last few battles of Shining Force Gaiden/Book 1, Amigo should prove a valuable healing unit in Book 3. If not, however, she will likely fall behind the rest of the pack. The value you get out of her depends entirely on how much care you give her.
Above all, remember to conserve Amigo's MP. Tempting as her powerful support spells are, she can only cast them a few times each battle, so save them for when they're absolutely needed.
