Dammit... Had such a good rant too. I'll just post the closure, since the rest has been said.

In the world I live in, a quarter, or .25 cents, is represented by President George Washington. With this, I can get a gumball from the grocery store. Therefore, a gumball costs .25

a ball of gum / 10

Also known as the 'how low of a rating is it possible for a character to get?' thread. Normally I would not give a zero, because in general, no matter how bad a character is, they could conceivably be used for something. Sophia, for instance, can theoretically maybe chip in the desert if she happens to hit something. Not so for Wendy. The one thing you can possibly argue she does is break that wall, but... if I gave her a 0.01/10, it would still imply that breaking that wall is contributing 1/1000 as much as Marcus, and that just isn't true. She will never hit anything and will be doubled forever, and it's basically impossible to level her even if you wanted to. As someone who actively likes units for being bad (seriously, I constantly try to use Meg, Fiona, Wil, Amelia, etc.), I still can't do it. She has worse bases than Bors, who is already a terrible unit, and comes 8 chapters later.

It's too bad, really. I like the idea of female armor knights, and I like her portrait, but when you are this bad that still doesn't earn you a bias point. 0/10.

0.01/10

This is mainly because I can't give anyone a 0 or a negative. But she is a terrible unit who may have deserved the 0...

I lack the words to accurately describe Wendy's terribleness.
She's the worst class in the game, fails to even fit the characteristics of said class and comes terribly underleveled with terrible bases and mediocre growths lance-locked with shitty durability right before a massive axe-fest. She gets ORKO'd by most enemies and her only 1-2-range weapon is so shitty that it hardly helps in raising her at all. Her promotion - despite the great boni - doesn't fix this in the slightest.
At least Sophia can eat a guiding ring after somehow getting to Lv10 and act as a heal-bot. Wendy can't even do that.

0/10.
-0.5 bias because she's a disgrace to female FE characters.
-> -0.5/10

(If half a negative point isn't ok, just ignore the bias modifier)

I haven't used her yet, but what I do know is that Wendy is almost fucking impossible to train, given her absolutely atrocious start. Let's see, 19HP/4str/3spd/8def? THIS IS BEYOND SHIT! And she's lancelocked at a point in the game where the field is predominantly axes, some of which can actually flat-out OHKO her! Oh, and her growths don't get her out of her rut fast enough(or at all, really).

WORST. FE UNIT. EVER!

0, and that's actually being VERY generous. Since if I could, I'd give her a -9001/10.

Okay, nobody else is allowed to pull this shit, but that was well-played. You can have the -0.5.

Fun fact: Sophia is better than Wendy; since she hits RES; although both have horrid HIT so lol...

Wendy on the other hand.... Well... She just blows donkey balls; and the likes of other bad units still laugh at her!

I was about to do the same until I read it.

Seriously though. There is literally nothing she can contribute. 4 STR/3 Spd, 19 HP/8 Def in chapter 8. When i first played hard mode through on FE6, I thought that I was missing something. Maybe Wendy had some crazy growths. Maybe she did something awesome for you. Maybe for some plot reason she got an awesome item no one else could use. It was just unfathomable to me that they would give you such a shittastic character at that point in the game. But, yknow, they did. 0/10. Plus she's all pink, which is some annoying shit too.

I usually don't like giving out zeroes, but I can't think of anything even remotely positive to say about Wendy. She isn't even that good at being eye candy.

Absolutely no redeeming factors. Unsalvageable. Can use Triangle Attack, for what it's worth.

It's going to take a lot of work to make that thing usable. Sporting such awful bases in a horrible class, she's really not doing herself any favours.

0.5/10 - She's one of the few units that are pretty much impossible to salvage. Still, I guess she help Barth swap weapons or something.

Wendy tried to blow a donkey and the subsequent nut-slap of balls on her chin OHKO'd her. That's why she sticks to walls, they're the only opponent she is halfway equally matched against and they don't make fun of her or judge her.

There was clearly some nepotism going on in Ostia is all I can say. Hector would not have stood for this shit otherwise.

You know, we are all forgetting, she can take a sacrificial hit from Bolting (take the hit instead of Roy) later in the game. That has to be worth a potential .05

That doesn't count for me. Also, why blow a unit slot on her that late in the game in the first place...???

0/10 Stuff about her has been said especially by Colonel M. The only thing she has going for her is her looks. Which I don't even think is that good. (She looks like she has Beta!Roy's face. Put it that way.) It's such a shame that people on places such as Youtube and Gamefaqs don't even realise that they're putting flowers and disinfectants on foul smelling garbage when they train her.

Normally my lowest rating is a 1, but I make an exception for Wendy and give her a 0/10 for not being usefull for anything.

She's not getting a booby point either since she's too young for that.
