Story[]

Suikoden IV[]

During the Island Liberation War, Selma helped the elven chief to deceive Razro and his party. They let Razro and his party got the Elven Remedy, which is actually a poison and gave it to the injured Kooluk soldier. As a result, the Kooluk soldiers got angry and ordered to kill the people on Na-Nal Island. Knowing this, Selma felt uneasy and let Lazlo and his party escape. The elven chief was not happy about this, and she was banished from her village as a result. She decided to join the Island Liberation Navy and helped Lazlo to fight against the Kooluk. When she was on board of the Dauntless she found it comfortable and felt happy about it. After the war, she was forgiven by the Elven Elder and she returned to the village with Paula.

Suikoden Tactics[]

At the Fall of Kooluk, Selma along with Paula and Jewel were sent by Lino En Kuldes to help Kyril fight the Kooluk Soldier in the Small Border Village and she joined Kyril’s group. She and Axel were planning to go back to Na-Nal and start a serious discussion between humans and elves about building a new Na-Nal together.

Role in the Game[]

Speak to Selma at the harbor of Na-Nal after liberating Na-Nal.

Selma is a bit of an oddity when it comes to great sword users as for she is actually more of a mage with fighting capability. She has the highest affinity to water magic and above average affinity with wind and earth, making her best suited for support. Her high strength (for a mage type) balances her support affinity well, allowing her to deal decent damage when the party doesnt require any healing or buff.

Selma can particapate in the Giant Sword Attack A or the Giant Sword B Attack.

Selma has a Good Will with Axel, Izak, Mitsuba and Paula.

  • Keen: You have done well by coming here. In this room, you may confess what is in your heart and accept proper judgement.
Selma: Hmmph... You won't get an answer that easily out of me. But I suppose, I could humor you, if only for a little bit.
  • Keen: Would you secretly inform me about anyone on board this ship who you think is causing problems?
Selma: Paula. Paula should... be more proud and aware of herself as an elf. As she is now, she's no different than a human.
  • Keen: Then, would you tell me what you think of Razro?
Selma: He is a rare man -- one who holds no prejudices against elves. I feel that is, technically, praise.
  • Keen: Finally, quietly confess the things you wish to atone for, or all the things that you are thankful for.
Selma: I had ridiculed it until now, but... bathing together was actually quite a pleasant experience. I sincerely apologize for having ridiculed it.
  • Keen: Then, I shall pass judgement!

Selma: Hmmph...

Selma: ...!! Damn! What the... heck is this?

I will be in your care for a while. I hope things will work out. I will try my best to help.

This was my first time getting on a ship, and I am pleased to say it is quite a comfortalbe experience.

It seems her late mother once lived in our village... She must have been banished, just as I was. I wonder if Paula has any desire to return to that village...

Jewel, Paula and Selma join you automatically after Kyril's third turn during the Small Border Village battle in Chapter 16.

She's almost exactly the same as Mitsuba, but higher in HP and lower in ATK and DEF. And SPD, which is kind of the kiss of death. A Great Sword user's utility hinges on how close to adequate their SPD can come (except Axel, who would suck even at a high speed), so that means Mitsuba's going to win out every time. Also, I'd rather have high DEF than HP. It's just the better stat for this game.

The best thing about Selma is that she gets pretty decent use out of her Counterattack and Smash skills, and with her strength, you can find enemies leaving the board unexpectedly.
