oh c'mon, artur isn't bad, yes of course he's weak at first AS GOES FOR ALL MAGIC PEOPLE that i've used. My artur turned out really really good, i think that he's in my final line up in sacred stones cause of his adv over the monster dudes. hmm i think his stats were like 40ish hp, max magic, 25+ skill, 23+ speed, though i think his def was only like 18ish? resistance 30. i still think ephraim is the best in that game. I got him to something like upper 40 hp, 28 str, 27 skill, 27 speed, 24 def? and 20ish resistance? he was way way way way better than erika. she was still 40ish hp, but only 22 str, 25 skill, 24 speed, 20 def, but somewhat like 26 res.
I think my best stats ever were with oswin from FE7 i believe(i don't call them by numbers) i think he ended up 55 hp, 29 str, 28 skill, (and somehow), 23 speed, 30 def, and 22 or more res. i think he had the most max stats i'd ever gotten with a character before. but i liked how sain got max strength at about lv 4 paladin.
