I just finished my Hector mode playthrough and it is stunning how monumentally bad his promotion is, in the context of FE7 and in general.

He gets no movement just a few maps before a giant map with a seize objective, more constitution even though he already had enough that every useful axe weighed him down by little or none at all and mostly just makes him fucking impossible to rescue drop (the only two members on my team that could pick up Hector were Priscilla and Florina), he gets D-rank swords so he can't use Killing Edges without grinding and in a game where swords are a hilariously awful weapon type, and he gets it so. fucking. fucking late.

Everything you said is true and accurate, but in HHM he's your main carry along with Marcus for the harder early part. And in Hector mode you get EliGOOD, the earlier promote is a godsend for him and he becomes one of your best units.
