Any chance L.Marth > Ayra?

This is basically a R.Astra vs. Fire Emblem fight. Someone mentioned it, but people automatically jumped to "well R.Astra does 40% Spd". Thing is, Marth has the sword's effect which is basically like Eirika's, in that he can double bonuses.

A 2-Turn Special that scales off of 30% Atk can still be a lot better than, say, Moonbow. You can get a +0 neutral Marth to do 18 Dmg off of it with Phantom Spd (15 without it). How often do you find a guy to scale that much off of their Def?

Their stats are nearly identical, and the only arguement I've seen beyond R.Astra is that he needs buffs, but getting buffs should be really a problem (especially given it's amazing effects). He's basically a mix of Eirika and an Ayra with a slighly weaker R.Astra.

Overall, the two are really close, but Ayra is more consistent and deals damage on a regular basis, while Marth's focus is receiving buffs from his special to just rip open enemies. Both are really good though.

If you're just comparing the characters then i'd say that Ayra and L!Marth are pretty close, with Arya being just sligtly better, since she runs the Slaying edge+Wrath build better than Marth can.
The problem i see about Fire emblem is that, the buff activate after the fight, in this case he can't use those buffs, if not in the enemy phase. And to get it on the other units you need Marth to fight first, which is not always possible or the best thing, add the fact that Tactics are a thing which devaluates a bit the special.
