Although the ballista command can only reduce enemies to one health, he can easily soften up entire groups of enemies for the rest of your army. One of the skills that ballistician adds essentially lets him act as a mobile ballista turret (albeit with slightly lower range), using his equipped bow for its stats. Takumi can also reclass into the DLC-exclusive Ballistician class.However, Takumi is still very powerful, and will undoubtedly be one of your best Snipers, if not one of your best units. The only advantage Mozu has over Takumi is that she has access to other classes via reclassing that have skills that have better synergy together for a Sniper. Takumi is very strong, and is generally agreed within the Serenes Forest forums that he's actually stronger than Mozu when both are promoted into Sniper class simply because of the unique bow he has access to. He also has a great personal skill which grants him +3 Damage dealt and -1 Damage taken and +10 Crit (in a class that already has a Crit bonus) if he's Supporting a same or higher-leveled unit. The only thing stopping him from soloing the game is the fact that he can't attack adjacent enemies without a specialized Bow/Yumi (which often has drawbacks like lower Attack Speed or Avoid), or the DLC skill Point Blank.

He also joins on a very shuriken-heavy map ( which are weak to bows), and the next map after that, all the enemies are fliers, which are more prime targets for his arrows.

He joins very early with his special Fujin Yumi that is more powerful than anything you get for five or six more chapters. Takumi is very good to use in the Birthright path.
