Ross first appears in Chapter 2 in a small village in Renais. Eirika's group appears in the northwest, and after talking to Eirika he joins them. He talks to his father Garcia, who also joins. He starts out as a [[Journeyman]], one of the three trainee classes in the game. This means he has very low initial stats, but gains experience quickly. | Ross first appears in Chapter 2 in a small village in Renais.

Ross appears in Chapter 2 as an allied unit alongside his father [[Garcia]], where [[Eirika]] can recruit him. This marks Ross's availability as one of the highest in the game. | Ross appears in Chapter 2 as an allied unit alongside his father [[Garcia]], where [[Eirika]] can recruit him.

Ross's base stats are downright awful. His only salvageable base stat is an 8 in luck—the least important stat, though it is notable in a game where many units have poor luck. With 3 speed, he cannot double even enemies with 0 speed. 15 HP, 3 defense, and 0 resistance ensure he will not survive more than one hit. If he gets doubled, he will die. | Ross's base stats are downright awful.

Ross's hatchet only has 4 might, the lowest might of any axe in the game. Since Ross has 5 base strength, he deals a pathetic 9 damage while using it. This means that Ross can find himself in a situation where he does not deal enough damage to kill an enemy, but other units cannot weaken the enemy for him without killing them. That said, the weapon does have 1-2 range, allowing Ross to avoid counterattacks. At 85 hit, it is also the most accurate axe in the game and offsets Ross's terrible base skill. This makes Ross much easier to train. However, the hatchet is not a personal weapon, and [[Garcia]] can also use it if he needs a reliable 1-2 range weapon. | Ross's hatchet only has 4 might, the lowest might of any axe in the game.

Ross's growths are not amazing for a growth unit. His 30% speed growth is especially problematic because his base speed is dreadful. If the player is unlucky, Ross may not reliably double enemies for a long time. He has more levels to grow, but his bases are so poor they offset that advantage. In practice, Ross's stats only become decent upon his first promotion, and he needs 9 levels to reach it. Upon reaching it, he is mostly on par with a normal level 1 unit, but that is going to be less than the rest of the army without giving Ross massive favoritism. He will have high strength and luck on average, but his other stats will be mediocre. Other units will have grown by then, too, so Ross will still look unimpressive. His advantages will only show up on his second promotion. | Ross's growths are not amazing for a growth unit. His 30% speed growth is especially problematic because his base speed is dreadful.

Ross joins as a level 1 [[Journeyman]]—a trainee class. This means Ross can promote twice instead of once, giving him access to more classes than other units. At level 10, he can promote to either a [[Fighter]] or a [[Pirate]]. From Fighter, he can be promoted into a [[Warrior]] or a [[Hero]] using a [[Hero Crest]]. From Pirate, he can be promoted to a [[Warrior]] or a [[Berserker]] using an [[Ocean Seal]]. | Ross joins as a level 1 [[Journeyman]]—a trainee class.

A third option appears if the player has completed both Eirika's and [[Ephraim]]'s routes: Journeyman. Ross can promote to it twice—as his first and second promotion. However, if Ross promotes to Fighter or Pirate, he cannot promote to Journeyman anymore. The second time Ross promotes to Journeyman, he gains +15 crit. | A third option appears if the player has completed both Eirika's and [[Ephraim]]'s routes: Journeyman.

Both Fighter and Pirate increase Ross's constitution, allowing him to wield [[Iron Axe]]s with no speed penalty. This effectively increases his attack speed. However, these two classes have important distinctions. Fighter does not grant a speed bonus, while Pirate does. Pirates can also walk on water, while fighters cannot. +1 speed may seem insignificant, but Ross's speed base and growth are poor. Ross needs all the help he can get to start doubling, and Pirate helps a bit more. Do note that when using anything heavier than an Iron Axe, including a [[Hand Axe]], the two classes have the same attack speed. | Both Fighter and Pirate increase Ross's constitution, allowing him to wield [[Iron Axe]]s with no speed penalty.

The ability to walk on water is also helpful because it gives Ross a unique niche. The only other water-walking foot unit in ''The Sacred Stones'' is [[Dozla]], who joins much later. Pirate Ross can do it earlier, and it comes in handy on water-filled maps. Chapter 7 has a river he can cross while rescuing [[Eirika]], enabling a faster clear. Chapter 13 in Ephraim's route is another good example — it has dozens of rivers, and Ross can cross them all. Fighters also cannot promote to [[Berserker]], only to [[Warrior]] or [[Hero]]. | The ability to walk on water is also helpful because it gives Ross a unique niche.
