Raphael asks you: Strength or Skill?

[Dark Holy Elf]

Dex is a far inferior stat compared to strength. You get 10 hit from having Dorothea equip Meteor. 10 hit from setting an A support adjutant. 10 hit from the Accuracy Ring. 10-15 hit from various battalions. 20 from Hit+20, which is considered at best on par with Death Blow, which is only +6 atk and only on the player phase.

Accuracy in general is good to have, but point-for-point, dex contributes far too little to it. The difference between dealing 10 damage and 13 damage is notable; the difference between 80 hit and 83 hit is extremely subtle (only ~2% true hit). I feel like each point of dex should give 4-5 hit, like cha does for gambits.

(Dex also has an impact on crit but it's divided by 2 and thus even less notable. To continue the 3-point stat gaps above, it's the difference between, say, 30 crit and 31.5 crit.)

This only applies to characters that support her, which, needless to say, not everyone does.

It is indeed needless to say, but you still said it. 😛

My point may not have been clear. The point is that it's an effect that basically adds 10 dex to affected characters (and 3 for the unsupported for the record). It's considered a good effect for sure, but not a game-breaker. If Meteor linked attacks (or anything else I listed) added 10 might (= str/mag) it'd feel ridiculously overpowered. It's an illustration of how much worse dex is than strength as a stat.
