Azama is arguably the strongest character that's not Ryoma in Birthright.

Mages are not remotely needed in Birthright because you have 3 Ninjas+Lancers that reduce defense, plus anti-armor shurikens come mid-game. I assume Magic is far more useful in Conquest when the only natural Ninja is Kaze.

odin kinda sucks, but Nyx seems alright

have no clue about how their statistics line up but i just don't like odin as a person so i'm not using him

I think everywhere I read has recommended switching Odin to a Samurai, he's the Azama of Conquest apparently?

my odin has way better stats in everything but 1 mag and 1 speed at the same level as nyx idgi, his levels haven't been amazing

What do the faces at the bottom of the simplified UI mean? It seems pretty arbitrary as to who shows up there.

Is Owain worth using in this game? He started as a dark mage but was hot garbage and didn't gain any magic in like 4 levels so I reclassed him to samurai. He's not really doing any better there though.

Also I just reset chapter 11 despite it taking forever because I wanted better level ups. I've become everything I've hated.

He has better bases, she has better growths. Mag in particular you'll start to notice after a few levels.

My Nyx died and I don't really give enough of a drat to use any mage other than Felicia who is kicking rear end as a Strategist so

For reference my Felicia is sitting on 17 mag at level 10 with a 55 growth and both Nyx and Odin were down by 10 points each when they were at level parity, on top of an enormous deficit of speed and skill and the 2 move.

Most magic users sadly aren't good it seems.

It's almost funny except Chrom and Lissa both have to survive in order to get the good rewards.

Here's a handy guide:

Killing enemies never matters. If you care to ask the question of whether losing an ally matters, instead of reflexively restarting, play on casual.
