About Ike: Aether makes him one of the best characters of the series. Without it he would still be decent, but that skill is way overpowered.

 

 Really? Here's the RD stuff.

 

Proc rate: skill/2

Skill cap (he'll hit it): 40.

Proc rate at 16 and up: 20%.

Damage done:

Sol part = regular damage

Luna part = regular damage, but with a 50% defense lowering.

 

Essentially, it does

Double dmg + enemy def *0.25

And it heals you for 50% of total damage.

 

So, overall it adds

+ 40% damge + enemy def *0.05

Heals you 10% of your damage.

 

Now, take Stun, with Haar.

Proc rate: Skill rate.

Haar's skill: 38

Proc rate at 16 and up: 38%

Damage done:

3x base damage

Stuns 1 round, which equals pretty much 1.5x more (assuming that he'll double 50% of the time, which is pessimistic). Now, this round now has a 49% chance of dealing yet another stun (enemy won't be stunned for yet another round though). That would triple the damage, so it's really *2.25 of base damage here

In total: 5.25 times of base damage.

 

Overall:

Adds 199% damage. Or essentially, triples it.

 

And it's that, vs

 

 

+ 40% damge + enemy def *0.05

Heals you 10% of your damage.

 

 

I'd say Haar's Stun is a fair bit better.

 

Oh, and one thing. Haar's stun makes your enemy unable to attack. That's in 38% of the cases, so if he attacks - he'll prevent the enemy from attacking twice. That's a fairly big bonus, maybe even as large as Ike's + 10% of damage healing.

 

 

Edit:

Anyone think that, in a later game, Vanguard could be the 3rd tier of Mercenary?

I mean, it goes Mercenary > Hero

Ike went Hero > Vanguard.

The Lord part was simply a detour, and when he resigned it he got his "true" rank, hero.

 

Look at Aether; it's essentially the Mercenary crit. And Ike is a Mercenary.

 

I want Aether as the mercenary attack :D
