Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

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 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, and 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. 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.

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.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Geese's official artwork from The Binding Blade can be viewed in Path of Radiance's extras menu if a copy of The Binding Blade is connected to a Japanese copy of Path of Radiance. This illustration, along with all other The Binding Blade-related artwork, is inaccessible in the international versions of the game, owing to the fact that The Binding Blade was not released in those regions.

Geese: A Life at Sea
A group of three islands lie to the west of Elibe—and the surrounding waters are home to Geese, a pirate who has made his territory there!	Geese once ran a trading company. But the war made business difficult, so he was forced to turn to piracy in order to keep his men from going hungry.	Geese and his crew might have been pirates, but they weren't exactly a group of bloodthirsty marauders. They would transport goods through dangerous waters on the behalf of villagers, take on escort missions, and so on… I guess you could call them pirates with hearts of gold!	People say that Geese deserves better than being a pirate, but he truly does love life at sea. I hope to learn from his example about what it means to be a Hero among pirates!
