Is Ryoma the best unit in the series? Because it sure feels like it >_> Dude feels invincible

Ryoma is good because he has pretty solid bases and decent growths, but mostly because his sword, Rajinto, is amazing, providing good 1-2 in a game where 1-2 is a premium. He is held back by his class because Swordmaster is just not a very good class but if you Best Friend Silas/Xander you can get him into the much better Paladin where he can still use Rajinto.

But best unit in the series? No. Birthright frankly isn't tough enough of a game where you need Ryoma and even if you use Ryoma he isn't centralizing dominate force like you would expect a best in series unit to be. A best unit either needs to be almost necessary to use (like Camilla) or breaks the game (Robin, Seth, FE9!Titania, Marcus, Sigurd, FE10!Haar). Even within Fates I would rank Camilla and Xander well above Ryoma. (CQ!10 would be a nightmare without Camilla, and afterwards she remains your primary offensive unit; Xander is the best tank in a game where tanking is an absolute premium).
