Lysithia, Ingrid, and Petra are my favorites.

Ingrid as a Falcon Knight just wrecks everything. She dodges almost every attack and always counterattacks twice. Her ability to use Swords and Spears means she can counter any weapon.

Lysithia has ridiculous range and can use all types of magic. She learns all skills twice as fast as others.

Petra is awesome with her ability to crit them if they are below 50% HP. Combine that with her +25 dodge ability and she dodges almost as much as Ingrid only to counterattack with a nearly guaranteed crit.

What you mean by the bolded? There is no weapon triangle in this game thus no weapon countering, everything is equally effective against everything. But yeah Lysithia is OP! That Dark Spikes T is able to 1-shot most things without even doubling, can even be used to kill the Death Knight during the early encounters with him. She's also the only one afaik who gets dark magic that can be used on all paths (r.i.p. Hubert). Then of course you have Warp shenanigans. Haven't used Petra yet, but I'm currently doing Blue Lions (I thought of a way to make it more interesting to say the least hehe), and Ingrid has been a top performer for sure. I'm of the opinion that everyone can be really good, since everyone can be any class and use any weapon, that means everyone can be in the best classes.

You can theoretically make anyone every class (except for the fact that certain classes are male or female exclusive) but certain skills are raised slower for certain characters.  More importantly, different characters have different stat growth.  So, Dimitri has a crazy high chance of gaining strength on a level up, but relatively low chance for an increase in magic.  So while you could theoretically put him in a magic heavy class, he'd be much less useful there.
