Silver Falcon: the useful numbers
Use the Redemption branch: Broken Falcon, 1 Cursed Egg, 25 Green, 25 Red, 25 Blue and 3 Rainbow Sprites, plus 10,000 Gold. Its team buffs and Yen support are the reason to choose it over 5th God Hand.

The Captain
On placement, grants allied units 10% base damage, plus 1 percentage point per upgrade. Physical and Magical units receive another 5%, plus 1 point per upgrade. The owner's most-equipped archetype receives an additional 10%. Captain buffs do not stack.
The Falcon's Pawn
Every 20 seconds, nearby units gain 15% range for 10 seconds. Each unit affected by both Captain and Pawn adds 5% critical chance, critical damage and range to Silver Falcon, up to 10 units.
War Chest
Every 5 kills from any source adds 1 Ambition, up to 50. The Wiki lists 15% extra Yen on the next kill when the meter increases, plus 5% dropped Yen per stack; the meter resets when sold. Older PGG coverage gives a conflicting 1% per-stack value, so this is an attributed Wiki reference rather than a guaranteed income model.
Upgrade costs and attack changes
Placement through Upgrade 8 totals 69,250 Yen before discounts. Yen is the in-stage budget; evolution Gold is a separate resource.
| Upgrade | Cost (Yen) | Total spent | Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 · Place | 2,000 | 2,000 | Divine Ray · circle AoE |
| 1 | 3,350 | 5,350 | — |
| 2 | 4,600 | 9,950 | Holy Cross · line AoE |
| 3 | 5,400 | 15,350 | — |
| 4 | 7,000 | 22,350 | — |
| 5 | 8,350 | 30,700 | — |
| 6 | 10,000 | 40,700 | Radiant Excalibur · cone AoE |
| 7 | 12,800 | 53,500 | — |
| 8 | 15,750 | 69,250 | — |
The Wiki calculator applies Captain's own damage buffs as well as equipment defaults. This table therefore budgets Yen and attack changes without presenting a mixed self-buffed damage number as a base stat. Keep Captain's non-stacking rule in mind before adding another support copy.
For your own build, enter the damage and SPA shown on your unit in the damage calculator. Keep level, upgrade and equipped effects consistent between comparisons.

How to get Silver Falcon
- Speak to Broken Falcon in Crimson Shore to obtain the base unit and start Redemption or Sacrifice.
- The Wiki Cursed Egg record, checked September 26, lists 100 Redeemed Souls at the Broken Falcon NPC. Older ATH coverage reports 150; confirm the current exchange price before spending.
- Choose the Redemption branch for this form and check the full live Evolve recipe before exchanging materials.
Soul exchange conflict: ATH reports 150, while Earnaldo reports 100 Redeemed Souls. Confirm the NPC price; neither report is a live check. NPC act restrictions and current availability need the live quest panel; the unit profile includes a separately sourced Bloxodes recipe; Broken Falcon is a predecessor, not an identical form.

September 2026 publisher assessment
PGG's September 8 list gives Silver Falcon a preliminary S support assessment. Team utility is the main case, not an independently tested damage lead.
Safe decision
Build it when these jobs solve a real team gap. Test the complete setup before spending rare rerolls or replacing a proven slot.
Kit interpretation
What Silver Falcon does
The Captain buffs allied damage without stacking with another Captain. The Falcon's Pawn periodically buffs nearby range. War Chest increases Yen income as kills build Ambition; its exact per-stack multiplier differs between sources, so no fixed income projection is used here.
These are mechanical roles, not a promise that the unit wins every map. Placement, upgrades, target type, allies and stage duration can change the outcome.
Reroll stop rule
Trait direction
Prioritize keeping the support active and covering the intended allies. Compare a useful owned support trait before spending crystals for a presumed best-in-slot roll.
Use the trait odds calculator before committing crystals. A mechanically relevant owned trait can be better account value than chasing a rarer headline trait.

Compare the whole team's archetypes, not just Silver Falcon's damage. Adding a duplicate Captain is not a way to multiply this same buff.
Reported Update 2.5 stats: Range +1% to +10% · Damage +1% to +5%
The Captain replacement (equipment passive): Replaces The Captain. On placement, all players' units gain 15% base damage, plus 2% per upgrade. Physical and Magical units gain another 5%, plus 2% per upgrade. The owner's most equipped archetype gains an additional 15%. The Captain buffs do not stack.

Original field protocol
How to test Silver Falcon on your account
- 1. Freeze the conditions
Use the same stage, act, party, upgrade, placement, trait and equipment. Record the game date or visible version.
- 2. Measure the kit's real job
Keep the same carry and stage, then compare clear consistency, ally buff coverage and Yen available at each upgrade. Do not count the same non-stacking Captain buff twice.
- 3. Keep outcomes separate
Record personal output, team effect, control, economy and clear consistency as separate fields. One blended score hides why a unit worked.
- 4. Repeat and label the sample
Start with at least 10 matched runs when practical, publish the exact count and retain failures. A small sample is useful when it is honestly labeled.

Silver Falcon quick questions
What role does Silver Falcon play?
The documented profile supports Support, Economy jobs and uses a Magical damage classification. The best role depends on which part of the kit your stage and team can activate.
What trait should I use on Silver Falcon?
Prioritize keeping the support active and covering the intended allies. Compare a useful owned support trait before spending crystals for a presumed best-in-slot roll. Treat this as a direction and stop rule, not a guarantee that one rare trait is optimal for every account.
Is Silver Falcon top tier?
PGG's September 8 list gives Silver Falcon a preliminary S support assessment. Team utility is the main case, not an independently tested damage lead. Rankings are dated judgments; matched tests and current balance notes should decide expensive investment.
