I was mostly referring to the ones in the GBA. But on top of that I don't know what Snipers are like in FE1 to FE3. Admittingly the Bow Fighters/Snipers in FE4 were pretty good, if not then alright I guess. Faval is pretty much my favorite in the second generation. FE5, haven't really gotten around it at all. But I can tell you this I don't like them at all. They have so low HP growth potential. Also, my Tanya died on the very first chapter. <_<
Don't forget Athos. <_< He makes a fine healer as well.
