Lucia and Karla are very similar. They both join late with god awful bases, and are on the ass end of the tier list for their respective games.
Let's face it, Lucia's base stats are god awful. To give an idea, she's 4 levels higher than Stefan, but he beats her in every stat except mag and luck. As for the stats themselves, 23 spd is decent, but 15 str/10 def is just awful for a unit that joins in Chapter 24 (36 HP does not help, either). Sure, she can double non-slug enemies, but she only has 28 atk with a silver sword (and 28 atk is very underwhelming at this point. She can't one round anything except archers and mages, and takes 3 rounds to kill dracoknights). As for her durability, 36 HP/10 def gets 3HKO'd by pretty much everything on her joining map (and some guys actually 2HKO). To be fair, Lucia has some WTF growths (70 HP/50 str/65 spd/40 def/40 res), but she only has eight levels to abuse those growths.
Does she have any redeeming qualities? Unfortunately, no. She has a good support affinity (Earth), but is unfortunately wasted on mediocre to crap support partners (Ilyana is mediocre, Janaff/Bastian are just plain crap). And just as an extra kick in the balls, her personal skill is one of the worst in the game (Parity usually does a lot more bad than good).
At least she redeems herself very well by becoming an anal bondage slut. Imagine Lucia with her hands bound behind her back and taking Ludveck's 10 inch cock up her ass. You should feel a lot better after seeing her rating.
2/10
Support suggestion: She'll be lucky to support my great-grandmother.
Band suggestion: You may as well give her something for str/def.

If you thought Lucia's bases were as bad as the Detroit Lions, Bastian's bases are even worse. It's time to crank up the diarrhea dial with this rating.
Bastian's stats just fail for a --/13 sage. 16 speed is only doubling slugs like dracoknights, and he actually gets doubled by swordmasters. This, combined with his lame 19 magic, means that he isn't hitting very hard (for a magic user. He still hits res, which is a plus). So basically, his offense is lame. As for his durability, while it's not bad by mage standards (no, really. 35 HP/12 def is actually decent on a magic user), he still gets 2-3HKO'd by a number of things at unreasonable hit rates (to be fair, so do Soren, Tormod, and Ilyana, but by now, all three have their supports established, so they are actually more durable than him) and he gets doubled by swordmasters, so he gets 2RKO'd by them anyway. And what's even more pathetic about him is that like Calill, he doesn't have staff utility, instead opting to use knives, which as I've discussed in Volke's rating, are balls in FE9. The other funny thing is that, like with Lucia, his growths are insane. Too bad he only has 7 levels left.
Now that I'm done bashing his stats, how does he function in the support department? Not very well. He's wind, and doesn't have a good support pool. He's also Volke's only support option, so if you are going to use Bastian, you may as well support him with Volke. As for the skillz, IS gave one of the worst units in the game possibly the most useless skill in the game. Corrosion does jack squat in this game (5 uses from a weapon? By the time I manage to destroy an enemy weapon, that enemy should be dead, and even if I wanted to destroy a weapon, Brom does it better since he takes 0-5 DMG as opposed to 12-18).
Honestly, don't use him unless your other magic users all died. Or if you like units that speak in Shakespearean English. Whatever floats your boat. Either way, Bastian sucks.
1/10
Support suggestion: LOLWUT?
Band suggestion: He needs speed so badly, it's not even funny. Mag, too.

Geoff here is the last of Elincia's failure retainers, and ironically, is the only retainer who isn't a failure (take a look back at Lucia and Bastian's ratings. They got less than Rofl).
Geoffrey's base durability is equivalent to a 20/1 Gatrie. Even on the map in which he is an NPC, 43 HP/21 def allows him to take no damage from most of the enemies near his group (and even if he does take damage, it's less than 5). He won't dodge much with only 50 avoid, but it honestly doesn't matter since he takes less than 10 damage from every non-magic enemy on his joining map (the strongest enemy does 12), not that you would want to bring horses on that map, but just saying. Not to mention, his durability growth is the same as Haar's (65 HP/45 def; he also has 45% res growth, but his res base isn't as hot), so you can count on him to be durable. His offense isn't as impressive as his durability, but it is still decent. 19 speed gets most of the enemies in his join chapter, but fails to double half the enemies in Chapter 26 (some of the paladins and snipers break 16 AS), though with a 55% growth (85% w/ KW), it can improve somewhat. As for his atk, 18 str gives him 29 atk with his brave lance (33 w/ silver), and he has a 50% growth for it, so he hits hard enough.
Again, like with Haar and Ranulf, what is keeping him from getting a higher score is that while he's good, he isn't anything special. His support affinity isn't anything special, either. He only supports with Calill (who is a decent magic unit) and Elincia (who is an underleveled scrub). As for the skillz, the developers decided it would be a good idea to give a --/11 unit Paragon. Not that he needs it, but it allows Geoff to max out his level quickly, which is cool. When you do get rid of it, he can utilize Sol to give himself even more durability.
5.5/10
Support suggestion: Not that he needs supports, but Elincia A/Calill B is likely his best bet.
Band suggestion: If no one is using it, Knight Ward. Otherwise, anything with def.
Largo

Largo, the extremely manly husband of Calill and the only Berserker of this game, is a pretty cool guy. Eh wrestles tigers and doesn't afraid of anything.
The first thing to note is that absurdly high HP he has. Base 52 HP is soundly beating every PC in the game except Nasir, Giffca, Naesala, Tibarn, and Ena (the last of which he ties). In fact, it beats almost every PC in every game before FE10 (only guys that surpass it are Hannibal, Galzus, and HM Garret).
Offensively, Largo is about as good as Boyd. He has 37 atk with his silver axe (comparable to 20/12 Boyd's attack with a steel axe), and his 20 AS lets him double everything on his joining map except laguz enemies, swordmasters, and the boss (unfortunately, he is borderline on many things in Chapter 26). Not bad in all honesty. And it keeps going up with 70 str/45 spd growths. He could use a lot of help with his durability, though. While 52 HP is good (and 80% growth just to overkill it), 10 def/3 res is not (with 25 def/20 res growths, it gets little better) which means he is still getting 3-4HKO'd by many things (it actually takes a lot to 2HKO him, like 36 atk), and he sure as hell hates mages. This basically makes him a glass cannon, which isn't exactly a good thing (and I give a good deal of weight to durability).
Too bad he can't support Calill (he still gets a bonus), but he supports units that either give him half atk/full hit or half def/full avo (sucks that he's wind). Largo might be able to squeeze two B's with Mia and Muraim, if that means anything. As for the skillz, he makes good use of the Vantage/Wrath combo (not that he's entitled to those two skills, since Vantage and Wrath have so much competition, I don't even know where to start).
Good offense combined with meh durability won't give him a good rating.
4/10
Support suggestion: B Mia/B Muraim. It's not like he can get full atk/def anyway.
Band suggestion: Anything for spd or def.

Have a nice day.
