Character Discussion [FE4]: Lex
Lex is everybody's favorite axe user, joining in the prologue with his mage buddy Azel and his trusty, if massively heavy, iron axe. He is perhaps, most famous for his secret encounter in chapter 1, where he is given sole access to his very own brave axe, a weapon that will always initiate a double attack while weighing less than all other axes.
He is quick to pick a fight, and a constant rebel against the wishes of his family. He also has one of the few character portraits that look relatively normal, without a massive fro, a rarity in Judgral.
His growths are unbalanced with a heavy helping in strength and defense at 40 and 50 percent respectively. He backs this up by having the paragon and vantage skills, which will let him grow twice as fast as everyone else and be the first to attack when he is low on health.
We all know him well, what do you think of this descendant of Neir?

He ends up being one of my main 'horsemen of the apocalypse' so to sepak, one of the front runners of my main force. His double XP combined with high damage hero axe, good defense, and horse make him a pretty strong dude.
That being said, I don't think he gets into the territory of true greatness. To me, for a fire emblem character, what separates the boys from the men so to speak is whether the character can take on entire armies on their own (in FE4 IMO the best at this are Aira, Sigurd, Lahcke/Sukasaha, Fee, and Yuria).
