Garcia joins 3 chapters earlier than Joshua at one level lower, so he has a level lead over Joshua when he joins. That’s already pwn, but when you consider how Garcia pwns in those 3 chapters, you realize how much he actually owns there. (Wut, that means about exactly the same XD) No, really, Garcia is a good character in chapters 2, 3 and 4. He has 3 chapters before Joshua joins, so he can build up a decent level lead. Garcia uses axes and, upon promotion, gains swords or bows. Joshua always uses Swords, so matter what. Swords are the worst weapons in the game. Garcia uses the best weapons, also referred to as axes, and then the worst or second worst weapons, bows or swords. With this, Garcia can give himself either beter WT control (as a Hero) or the advantage against fliers (as a Warrior). That pwns already. So Garcia also has the advantage when it comes down to weapons. Cool. Garcia has a great Affinity. Joshua has not. Fire gives the same bonuses as Wind, but the extra Crit Fire gives is better than the extra CEvade Wind gives. That’s already pwn. Especially when you take the fact into consideration that he supports two other Fire Affinity characters, Ross and Neimi, two other great characters. This gives Garcia full Att, Crit, Avoid and Hit. Joshua doesn’t get Innes, L’Arachel and Marisa because they lolphail. Gerik has Tethys and Ross or Saleh. Artur has Lute and Tethys. Then he’s left with Natasha, who will be his one and only support partner. So Garcia also wins supports. Great. Now, let’s take a look at some stats. Garcia pwns until Joshua joins, and he also pwns after that, but let’s compare both when Joshua joins. 7 Garcia, C Ross Iron Axe: 18.9 Att, 7.6 AS, 98.5 Hit, 9.1 Crit - - 30.4 HP, 24.4 Avoid, 5.8 Def, 1.4 Res, 4.2 CEvade Steel Axe: 21.9 Att, 6.6 AS, 88.5 Hit, 9.1 Crit - - 30.4 HP, 22.4 Avoid, 5.8 Def, 1.4 Res, 4.2 CEvade Hand Axe: 17.9 Att, 7.6 AS, 83.5 Hit, 9.1 Crit - - 30.4 HP, 24.4 Avoid, 5.8 Def, 1.4 Res, 4.2 CEvade 5 Joshua Iron Sword: 13 Att, 14 AS, 119.5 Hit, 6.5 Crit - - 24 HP, 35 Avoid, 5 Def, 2 Res, 7 CEvade Steel Sword: 16 Att, 12 AS, 104.5 Hit, 6.5 Crit - - 24 HP, 31 Avoid, 5 Def, 2 Res, 7 CEvade Garcia is better against the Soldiers and Archers while Joshua is better against the Fighters and Brigands. Garcia however, can attack from a distance which gives him an extra offensive advantage. And he already wins offense with his massive Att. Now he wins even moar. Garcia doesn’t die easily with his durability. Heck, the Archers 5HKO him! While he might lose Avoid, Joshua’s is still pretty unreliable so he wins with his massive HP lead and his small Def lead If I can prove Garcia better than Joshua endgame, then there aren’t any other comparisons necessary, so here goes. I’ll let them both be 20/20, just because I want to be generous. 40 Garcia, A Ross/B Neimi, Warrior Killer Axe: 45.5 Att, 14 AS, 149.3 Hit, 71.5 Crit - - 58.5 HP, 70 Avoid, 16.7 Def, 9.2 Res, 17 CEvade Garm: 54.5 Att, 19 AS, 159.3 Hit, 41.5 Crit - - 58.5 HP, 80 Avoid, 16.7 Def, 9.2 Res, 17 CEvade 40 Joshua, A Natasha, Swordmaster Killing Edge: 32 Att, 29.3 AS, 170,8 Hit, 72.2 Crit - - 56.2 HP, 83.3 Avoid, 15.3 Def, 11.3 Res, 42.2 CEvade Audhulma: 41 Att, 29.3 AS, 180.8 Hit 42.2 Crit - - 56.2 HP, 83.3 Avoid, 15.3 Def, 16.3 Res, 42.2 CEvade Garcia has a massive, massive Att lead of 14. That is really huge. Now, he also has massive Crit, it’s actually equal to Joshua’s, and then Garcia doesn’t even have a Crit boost! W1n. Durability is debatable, Joshua has an Avoid lead of 13 and a Res lead of 2, but Garcia has an HP lead of 3 and a Def lead of 2. Endgame, Defense is more important than Resistance and I think 3 HP + 2 Res >= 2 Res + 13 Avoid. So, Garcia wins offense and durability is debatable. Garcia wins. Now that we know this, we also know that Garcia still pwns Joshua everywhere inbetween. The gap closes near the end of the game, but in the beginning the gap is still pretty wide. So, a summary. - Garcia has better offense - Garcia has better durability, although it's debatable endgame - Garcia has the advantage of having either WTC or being effective against fliers, Joshua is limited to swords - Garcia has better supports - Garcia has 1-2 range, Joshua always has to attack from close range and always has to take a counter Garcia = w1n Joshua = w1n but less w1n than Garcia Oh, and Garcia’s beard > Joshua’s hat
