Is Shinon good?
Shinon's refined bow brings a handful of useful effects together, and Deadeye lets him hard-counter certain strong enemy skills outright. His special also charges fast enough to trigger often, keeping the pressure up. Low Res is his obvious weak point, and he struggles against tanky counterattackers who can hit him at any range as well as fast magic users, but the overall package still earns him A tier.
He fits well alongside a mix of infantry and flying support units.
Pairs well with: Ayra; 
Legendary Eliwood; 
Mirabilis; 
Legendary Azura; 
Peony; 
Brave Dimitri.
