Analysis

Ogier joins on turn 6 of Chapter 8 as a level 3Mercenary. While his base stats are not terrible for a level 3 unit, Ogier needs significant investment to match the rest of the army when he joins.

Ogier benefits from the fact several chapters after he joins are filled with axe users. Ogier specializing in swords allows him to gain weapon triangle advantage and train on them quite easily. However, he only doubles some of them at the base level. 9 speed is alright for a level 3 unit, but it is insufficient to double many enemies. This means Ogier will not be very proficient at killing the axe users on the Western Isles until he has gained some levels.

Ogier's other weakness is his pitiful resistance at 0. With only a 15% growth, he will always be weak to magical attacks and rely on dodging them. His physical bulk is not stellar either - only 24 HP and 4 defense. In chapter 8x, he can survive a hit from most enemies, but he gets doubled and one-rounded byMyrmidons. In chapter 9, he can survive a hit from all enemies and does not get doubled anymore, but once he takes a hit, any attack will kill him. For that reason, Ogier needs babysitting while he is being trained.

Fortunately for Ogier, his promotion toHero makes him easier to use. He gains +1 to his sword rank, an E-rank in axes, and significant statistical bonuses, especially defensive stats. +4 HP, +4 defense, +2 resistance, and +2 speed all help him survive enemies. Upon promotion, he should be able to double some enemies. However, he will not double everything on average. A promoted Ogier can also start using axes. He gets weighed down by most axes, but they deal more damage and give him a weapon triangle advantage over lance users.

The main problem with Ogier is that he competes for aHero Crest with units that have more reason for one.Rutger is one of the best units throughout the game,Dieck has much better base stats and can be easily trained up,Lot andWade are able to get to promotion level before he joins, andFir andGonzalez offer better long-term potential and even better bases on Hard Mode. Ogier offers filler combat if invested, but he is easily outclassed with his direct competition.

That said, if the player likes the idea of raising a mercenary almost from scratch and making him reach competence, Ogier is not impossible to raise. He faces low hit rates throughout the Western Isles because he has a weapon triangle advantage over the plentiful axe users. Besides, Hero is a good promoted class - a promoted Ogier can usually hold his own against enemies and contribute throughout the game. Yet, Ogier will never be amazing even if he is raised, so the player should not have very high expectations.

Ogier: Ostia's New Blade
Ogier is a mercenary employed by House Ostia, the noble house that leads Elibe's Lycian League.	Though he belongs to the heavy knights, his small frame makes him ill-suited for heavy armor—so instead, he uses his size to his advantage, supporting his allies as a light-footed swordsman!	Apparently, Ogier became a mercenary so that he could feed his family. He came from an impoverished village, and was even separated from his sister...	Modest to a fault, Ogier claims he's still just starting out as a swordsman. But with his earnest, hard-working personality, I think he'll go a long way with the Order of Heroes!
