Geese joins as a level 10 [[Pirate]] halfway through ''The Binding Blade''. His base stats are balanced; however, that also means none of them are excellent. Geese also has a terrible base resistance of 0 and a growth of 10%, ensuring he will always struggle against magical enemies.
Geese joins as a level 10 [[Pirate]] halfway through ''The Binding Blade''. His base stats are balanced, but none of them are particularly impressive. Geese also has a terrible base resistance of 0 and a growth of 10%, ensuring he will always struggle against magical enemies.


Geese joins with the [[Brave Axe]] and a particularly good base B-rank in axes, letting him use it. The problem is that he needs the Brave Axe to attack twice. His base speed is far too low to double most enemies. He also has accuracy problems because axes are inaccurate. While attacking twice would help with that, he cannot double naturally. Geese will often have rounds of combat when he misses his single attack and does nothing else.
Geese joins with the [[Brave Axe]] on the A route, and has a particularly good base B-rank in axes, letting him use it on either route. The problem is that he needs the Brave Axe to attack twice. His base speed is too low to double most enemies. He also has accuracy problems because axes are inaccurate. While attacking twice would help with that, he cannot double naturally. Geese will often have rounds of combat when he misses his single attack and does nothing else.


Geese's promotion to [[Berserker]] redeems him a little. He gains a critical bonus, significant increases in HP, constitution, strength, skill, and defense. He also gains 50 weapon experience in axes, so if he did not have an A-rank before promoting, he will have it after promotion. This brings him closer to wielding the [[Armads]], the most accurate axe in the game, which requires an S-rank in axes to use.

Geese can be promoted as soon as he joins the army since his base level is 10 – enough to promote. The statistical increases from the promotion make promoting Geese early a clever idea in most cases – since his base stats are mediocre. That said, even once promoted, Geese is not a very impressive unit. His combat is only average, and he will still have severe doubling issues.

That said, even once promoted, Geese is not a very impressive unit. His combat is only average, and he will still have severe doubling issues. He also is competing with other Hero Crest users for this item, including [[Dieck]], [[Gonzalez]], and [[Fir]]. Compared to his peers, he struggles to stand out with his mediocre speed and poor hit rate.


[[Lot]], who joins almost ten chapters earlier, will have stats superior to Geese's, assuming he has been trained. Not to mention, by the time Geese joins, Lot had already contributed to many chapters. [[Gonzalez]], who has similar availability to Geese, will have enough speed to double most enemies and has significantly higher strength even at the base level. Gonzalez has a remarkably high constitution, making him difficult to rescue, and Geese does not have this problem. However, his combat is significantly better than Geese's before and after promotion, thanks to his advantages in important offensive stats.
Overall, Geese is a mediocre combat unit overshadowed by his peers. He often struggles to kill even a single enemy due to accuracy problems and the inability to double. He is also terrible against mages since his resistance base and growth are as bad as they get in ''The Binding Blade.'' However, he is far from unusable if the player wishes to use him.
