Background Story

5★	A general of the Zoldaad Empire. Wilhelm wears extremely heavy armor, and once boasted of the title of Imperial Shield for his efforts on the field. Although he was in charge of the empire's Magitek squadron, everything changed when Zoldaad began implementing dictatorial practices into their government. Following this, his superiors saw to his removal from any crucial missions, and expelled him to a remote location.
6★	A general of the militant empire of Zoldaad. Wilhelm has served Sozhe, the emperor of Zoldaad, for many years, having shared countless battles by his side as his comrade in arms. He is well acquainted with the emperor's past, and thinks of the crown prince Shera as his own son. However, recently he has been kept from participating in pivotal missions for reasons unknown.
7★	A general of the militant empire of Zoldaad known as the "Imperial Shield" who was Emperor Sozhe's confidant. When the empire made a drastic change in its policies following the influence of the Veritas, Wilhelm shared confidential information with the rebel army and continued giving crown prince Shera sound advice on how to approach his people. Although his death was untimely, his actions ensured that the future could be safely entrusted to the youth of the empire.

Fusion

5★	You wish to bestow me even more power? I am grateful.

Awakening

5★	<blank>
6★	I am your shield. Feel free to use me as you please.
7★	So even visions can grow. People's thoughts and memories are truly miraculous things.

Summon

5★	These are my memories...? I never thought the next time I fought I'd be like this.
6★	It's been many moons since I last fought. I'll show you a style of fighting worthy of one called the shield of the empire.
7★	There were so many I was unable to protect alone back then... Please allow me to help you.

Trust Mastery

I wonder if I was able to help you to protect what needed to be protected. See to the safety of this world.

Notes

Gameplay

• His Limit Burst's Damage mitigation effect caps out at level 25, after which you only are improving the defense buff. This means that awakening a 6-star maxed-LB Wilhelm to 7-star will not weaken his Limit Burst.
• Wilhelm has a variation: Imperial Shield Wilhelm.

Trivia

• His base forms were never given a Ready Attack animation as is he looked like the so-called Impregnable Shield. His 7-star form finally gives him his own unique Ready Attack animation.
