OK, these are IN-ORDER. So if a person is above someone then there must be a reason on my behalf for placing them there. This is based on the assumption that we are trying to âSâ rank HMM:
Notes:
I know thereâs some argument over the net as to why Eliwood is better than HectorâŚthis is FALSE. Hectorâs forced promotion should not weigh him down to Eliwoodâs level when he has Top 5 def, Top 5 off, and great CON for most of the game (if not all of it). Eliwood is limited to swords until the first heaven seal, cannot double durandal (huge con impact), and needs Hectorâs defense in the beginning stages of the game. Hectorâs promotion is not far off the first Heaven Seal, and the only thing Eliwood has going for him is the bonus in lance upgrade over Hectorâs swords. Hector is the only one who can defeat Wire, since Matthew is too weak to do it and easily gets killed. The only way Matthew dmgs Wire is if he gets trained hard in Lynâs mode, and even then itâs just a big waste of time management. Lowen is better than Eliwood, he grows slow but can take better punishment and the game doesnât end should he die. He gets Axes upgrade which is superior to Eliwoodâs lances, and better movement most of the game. Eliwood can use Rapier against Bories but he is still has a WTA over Eliwood because of the lance.
Next, Marcus is NOT god tier. Heâs good, but he hurts the EXP rank and the Silver Lance only has 20 uses. Once itâs gone, you wonât be seeing another one for a while. Heâs needed, but NOT THAT GOOD or on Ravens lv. imo. No reason to use him pass New Resolve, since by then you should have a well-built up Sain/Lowen/Kent.
Hawkeye always seem to fly under the radar on peoples list. Bulky, access to high crits, takes dmg like a truck, easily recruitable. Geitz gets bows, but that places him indirectly from combat per enemy phase. Iâd rather just give Hawkeye a hand axe 
Erk vs. Lucius is close, but I think Lucius edges him out. Lucius is more of a glass cannon while we donât know what will be getting from Erk until after a few level ups. Sometimes he will best Pent, and sometimes he will wimp out and become bench fodder. Lucius âCâ rank in staffs upon promote is huge too.
Canas mid. Luna is the best spell in the game, but it forces us to use Canas (who is overrated to a fault). Will have speed issues from heavy dark tomes, and theyâre expensive as hell.
Dorcas vs Bartre - Dorcas wins, but only because of Lyn mode. Iâd rather not train both, as I see Hawkeye/Getiz/Hector superior. Dart has a very expensive promotion, but heâs needed to pick up Getiz. That should count for something.
The only reason to train lyn is to avoid Wallaces map, 15 levels should do the trick (most of them you can get in her own mode if she snags boss kills). Not a good character in HHM, frail, and dies easily which ends the game. Guy comes faster, top 5 offense, and hard mode stats. Plus, no game over if he dies.
If you want a flyer, make it Florina or Fiora. Anything else is generally unacceptable.
I think bows are gimmicky in HHM. Theyâre good for other modes, but I like my units to be able to attack counterattack at given situations. This makes Rath, Wil, and Rebecca expendable.
Wallace imo is the worst unit in the game. Mediocre stats, harder map than Getiz, slow, and doesnât even survive his own chp. Karla and Renault suck but at least they bring some goodies with them. Wallace brings nothing to the table.
