I don’t know why people seem to forget about Hanneman but he is most definitely a better damage dealing mage when compared to Lorenz, he has some of the highest magic in the game, having 20 magic at level 15 when recruited, being on par with Lysithea and Hubert and beating everyone else at same level, and he has a 55% magic growth, meaning he will only slightly be passed by Lysithea after a few levels and stay on par with Hubert. Hanneman is probably the second best offensive mage in the game, only behind Hubert, and despite Lysithea doing slightly more damage, she lacks 3 range until S rank magic whereas Hanneman and Hubert both have 3 range to compensate for slightly lower damage. (Lysithea is better though since she has utility.) Dorothea and Marriane are also better offenSive mages than Lorenz since they get Thoron for 3 range and have better magic stats than him. Lorenz could be better than Marianne since the extra 4 damage he gets from his prf and a Ferdinand adjutant, + higher mt on Ragnarok and Agneas arrow might make his lower mag less important, but he wont be doing more damage than Dorothea.
there have been like 3 pages on exclusively Lorenz so who wants to talk about some other units, like Ignatz or Alois.
