Still, his stats are amazing. If you can get him leveled up all the way, he is one of the most useful characters alongside Rolf and Astrid.  Way better than Mia.

Yay! Someone else who knows the awesomeness of Rolf! He needed a bit of TLC in the beginning of PoR, but midway through that game, he kicked ass for the rest of both games! And once I gave him a crossbow, he was a front-liner for me.

But the whole Mia/Edward thing? I never had much luck with myrmidons in either PoR or RD. Until about the midway point, they're good for me, but then their strength lags behind. A crit with a silver sword to do... 6 damage? And they were never too good for me at dodging, either- 2 hits and they were basically dead. No myrimidons (or sword masters) made it into my final team in either of those games. (Though I guess they were both more useful then Meg...) I worried less about Rolf, or even Soren, getting killed, if they could be reached by an enemy.

Doesn't Edward have an Earth Element support? If you put any ranks into his support he should be dodging like a lunatic.

Edit: No, wait, Edward has Light. Nolan is the one who has Earth out of the initial Dawn Brigade. Nevermind.

Still, you have had terrible luck with your myrmidons.
