Dat Rules
- Ratings are assumed to be on Hard 2 Mode.
- Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted. If somebody else said what you want to already, quote them explicitly.
+/- ≤1 point extra regarding personality/appearance is encouraged, but no more. If you exercise your bias privileges, please do so explicitly. Also, if your vote is already a 10/10 or greater than 9 and you give a full point of bias, The score may not exceed 10!
- Numerical votes out of 10, or something proportional to it. Make it easy to calculate for my sake.
- Each ranking phase ends from 2100 to 2200 EST. 13th May start the topic again but i am not sure. Do the math if you are in another timezone!
- I will insist you do not use the "Not X" reason on any character, where X is another unit. If you do, your vote will be thrown out.
- "Recruits X" or "takes you to X chapter" arguments are explicitly banned. C'mon, people, this shouldn't need to be a rule. That's not gameplay performance.
- Assume that the character in question is being recruited.
- Similar to the "Recruits X" rule, do not use "He Comes with a Free Ridersbane" as an argument.
- I withhold the privilege to tell you your rating is bogus and demand you revise it if it breaks any of the above. I will not throw out votes anonymously, you will be informed and given a chance to revise.

This guy's stats are quite atrocious. His Durability is like toilet paper at this point of the game but he has semi-decent offense. 2/10, With +1 Bias included!

Free Silver wpns, thus decent ranks. Ontop of poor bases and nonexistant growths. He isn't gonna even reach combat quickly anyway.

.5, because less useful than Matthis, etc.

Better than Arran. Arguably. Stressing arguably. His strength growth isn't actually too bad, only 5 lower than Ogma, though he starts 26 levels higher with effectively +2, and his skill and speed bases are fairly decent as a hero. His health and luck growths are fairly good, but his base health is atrocious, and his base luck is pretty lackluckster. His def is all around pretty bad. And the worst part is that he starts at level 10 so he won't even be able to gain exp quickly to make some use of his admittedly poor growths. Seriously, was someone just asleep and accidentally typed 10 instead of 1 for him and Arran or was it some sort of sick joke or what? It's a shame he gets screwed so badly in almost every game. I really like him as a unit.

2.5/10 (+1 bias and 0.5 for base silver axes)

Fun fact, if he started at 1, it would take Astram until 15 to match Samson's strength.

combat isn't horrible with silvers/killers/hammers but duribility is atrocious... he only beats out Fighter barst by 3 defence and no HP.

He's a level 10 prepromote with level 1 base stats, nothing else needs to be said.

24 HP as a Lv.10 promoted unit.... WHY FE11!!!! Hardin had 24 HP when he joined as a Lv.6 Cavalier when he joined 11 chapters ago.

I'm sorry, but I don't care how well you use Silver Axes if your hurting after one attack, and KOed after the second... as a Lv.10 prepremote.

His growths are cool, if he's still alive to get a level up.

0/10

Crappy durability holds him back a lot, but his stats otherwise aren't quite... Terrible. B Axes is pretty mice, and 16 AS isn't too shabby. Lack of movement and that low HP hold him back. Mediocre Str kind of does him in too.

2.5/10.

Nice axe rank and hair. 16 spd is merely ok. Thats it. 0/10 (-1 bias for never getting recruited and i dislike how bad prepromotes base stats are in this game...seriously, a prepromo should have good bases IS)

He's kinda cute and really frail. He can insta-Hautclere in an axe-friendlier class, but he's getting all of one round of combat in before he wilts.

1.75/10

His strength, HP, defense, and resistance growths aren't THAT low (relatively) , and his luck growth is pretty good. His skill and speed growths are atrocious. He does have good axe-rank, which is useful, but his base strength and HP kill him. His base speed, skill, defense, and resistance could definitely be worse, but not by much. his luck base is pathetic too. He's really just awful.

.5/10 Including a -.5 bias for stating he was a swordfighter of some renowned when he's way better with axes.
