Why are you breaking my heart, Erk?

Mister Eternal Escort, gaining 2 whole points of magic in twelve freaking levels absolutely won't do. It pains me to bench you, young man. You are a disgrace to your master.

Why are you doing this to me, boy? :(

Erk, in my experience, is the unit most likely to get RNG screwed in FE history. I've never had an Erk with stats that end up reflecting his growths.

plus i mean why even bother when you get pent and nino

Ouch. To be fair, though, this is FE7, and it ain't like sky-high offense is necessary when the enemies are weak.

H-he might just get better? I mean after all, he was my most sucky unit in Lyn mode but has now become better upon entering Eliwood mode

Oh man!

My monster Erk had about 4 points of Mag above yours and maybe 2 points of Spd less, iirc. He was gud.

He’s now lvl 17 and he capped Spd. Still 8 Mag though. And his promotion won’t fix the issue.
I do have an energy ring lying in the convoy just in case… I’m definitely not going to give up on him, he’s already B with Priscilla, damnit.

Maybe I should just toss a guiding ring at both of them?

You just need to tell him to stop.

At certain points of RNG screw I reset for level ups lol.

Guys, I think I managed to get an Erk who hit his averages pretty well (of course, he's still going to have lower magic than Pent) last playthough.

20/15:

42 HP, 18 Mag, 20 Skl, 24 Spd, 10 Lk, 12 Def, 22 Res

That playthrough also convinced me that he's kind of a disappointment stat wise, but he's still able to do the job fine once he has enough speed.

This was my Erk from my previous playthrough; Endgame’s preparation screen. 18 Mag at 20/9 is 1 point over his averages. He’s also ahead in Spd.
He proceeded to +1 Mag after crit-Bolting a morph during the chapter, and I don’t recall the rest.

Once I had the same problen with Serra, I've even used a guiding ring on her but she wasn't even capable of doing her job well.

 

Sometimes the RNG just like screwing me up. Also, Erk generally gets some good points in Magic with with me but he's still subpar when compared to the other offensive magic users.

I try not invest in Erk because his base stats and growths don't fit the glass cannon mold so many mages benefit from in Fire Emblem. You have enough tanky mounted unites in the GBA games to protect your mages so if they aren't going to have a good damage output, why bother? Yeah, his speed is his only strong point, but it's not like it helps beyond an extra hit that's already somewhat guaranteed against the slow, low resistance units you're going to do chip damage against.
