Opinion

Ricken has pretty balanced growth rates by default. However, by the time you recruit him, you might already have other units you prefer to use, which could lead to him being benched. If you do decide to train him, his performance can be a bit unpredictable – sometimes he'll do incredibly well, and other times he might not perform as expected. It really comes down to personal preference and a bit of luck.

He also has a somewhat limited selection of classes and skills he can learn, which is something to keep in mind, especially when considering children units and inheritance. Despite this, he does have some interesting support conversations worth experiencing.
