Can a case be made to either lower Makalov or give Stefan a rise?
There is almost no availebility lead as Makalov is recruited halfway in chapter 14 and after that he has trouble moving in the dessert.
Now if we look at their base stats you can see that Stefan is absolutely crushing the pink haired loser in stats. +8hp, +10 str, +20 skill, +15 skill and 2 more defense.
It takes a lot of time for Makalov to catch up for Stefans bases and even then stefan would probably have gained some levels. Makalov needs to be 20/6 to match Stefans base strenght,20/16 for speed and he nver catches up in skill. He does gain more defense and luck but he loses offense forever.
Is Makalov so much higher because his movenment lead and rescuing people or does the durability lead count that much?
