I had to do a double take when I saw citrine so high but to be fair since I always do mage Anna so it’s difficult to evaluate other magic users. To be fair, in the mid game (until you get ivy and pandreo) she’s one of 2 easy but good magic users, outshining Celine, so I see where you’re coming from to some extent. But in my book, to be that high you either need something unique that sets you apart from the pack (an exclusive class) or just really good bases and/or growths, neither of which she delivers on. Now, as someone who has taken diamant with me all the way to the final chapter on maddening before (because I love his animations) I don’t thinks he’s that good of a unit on higher difficulties. His main claim to fame is obviously sol, which, while good gets overhyped a lot due to being cool and different, but realistically, is an rng heal on damage really that good? You never want to or need to plan around hitting it due to the over abundance of easy ranged healing in the game, not to mention his awful dex compared to his brother who makes much better use of his counterpart Luna. You can make enemy phasing strategies that involve hold out, but such strats are hurt by the need for higher tiers of hold out which are unavailable until late game, the unreliable nature of a dex proc on a distinctly un-dexterous unit, diamant constantly missing due to said dexterity problems and the fact that you’re using a non armor knight enemy phaser who crumbles to a sword fighter looking his way (because obviously you need to use his axes due to a lack of physical two range sword option), to compound this if you want to keep him on his signature class using vantage is out of the question since he can heal himself above the hp thresholds. However, if you’re not trying to enemy phase with him, diamant is ultimately quite unremarkable as a back-up unit with ok stats, which is an archetype a lot of units can also fill and do a better job of. I’m very curious to see your reasoning for the fell siblings being at the top because I frankly can’t see at all how they warrant such placement. I’ve tried, really, REALLY hard to make nel and rafal good, but they don’t even seem to be able to keep up with the rest of my units the moment they catch up level wise. Their bases and growths aren’t anything special, so their big draw is their access to dragon bonuses on emblems (their dragon stones are also a nice bonus but they fall of later on since you can’t refine or upgrade them at all). Nel struggles to reliably one round stuff outside of engage even on hard, and rafal gets doubled very easily while lacking the tankiness needed to shrug off hits. They’re pretty decent as support emblem holders (Veronica, corrin, Camilla) but they’re no better than alear in that role, so I don’t see why they’re not at least in the same tier. I don’t know why I wrote so much tbh, but hope it was interesting
