The Scion of Light's Fire Emblem thoughts

Hi! I was thinking about doing lists for each class, since I love making lists, so I decided to start with a list about the best mercenaries in the series!

For example, Galzus with Mareeta support and the Armorslayer reaches 25 eff. Atk against Raydrick's 56 HP, 26 Def, which with an activation of Astra on the second attack, or a Critical/Luna on the first attack and a Luna activation on the second will allow Galzus to ORKO him...
