Does he deserve his own tier?
35 hp, 12 str, 19 mag, 21 skl, 16 spd, 15 lck, 12 def, 20 res
55% hp, 40% str, 65% mag, 65% skl, 55% spd, 30% luck, 35% def, 50% res. 395 total for the curious.
57 base hit.
So, does anybody train Soren to A wind anyway?
Tornado:
25 mt, 147 hit.
31 mt against things vulnerable.
Elthunder:
26 mt
Also, no AS loss from anything but Bolting and Rexbolt. He should have 5 levels by then, though, right? Surely he can hit level 18 by endgame.
So:
Meteor gives 30 mt and 16 AS
Blizzard gives 27 mt and 16 AS, 35 mt against anything vulnerable
Bolting gives 32 mt and 15 AS
Chapter 24.
16 AS doubles 30 things in chapter 24 (out of 53/54, BK shouldn't count against him).
With Tornado he ORKOs 26 of them.
With Elthunder he ORKOs 28.
Meteor ORKOs the 29th, and its just the 30hp/17res sage that lives, since it has 12 AS. Bolting misses the double on 12 of the 30 he otherwise doubles.

No hope on the bishops, needs 36 mt. Takes just 1 damage from the elthunder sage and needs 31 mt to ORKO. Meteor covers it. Against Bastian the bishops ping and 7HKO, respectively.
As for the 10 physicals,
30 mt is needed to ORKO 3 warriors, 32 to ORKO 1, 31 to ORKO another.
2 fighters are ORKOd by Tornado.

I suppose maybe I should compare him to Lucia, but she starts at 36 hp and 10 def. He's got more concrete durability already, and 12 more res. At base she has 15 more avo then he does, and her spd/lck growths are higher, but she just has 15 str and I seriously don't think she's ORKO nearly as much as he is. Also, her 63 avo compared to his 48 avo is not nearly enough to offset the fact that most of her #HKOds are 2 lower than his. Also, he has a shot at some of the ranged tomes, and his normal attacks are 2 range, further emphasizing the durability difference between them. I don't see the need for a tier gap between them. Well, most of his doubling is in chapter 24, and he needs someone to pass him a weapon if we want anything more than Elwind on him, but still. And against laguz he may be doing more in one shot than Lucia in two (elfire, one wexp level from bolganone, meteor), though she does have two chances at critting in that case, and possible access to laguzslayers.
As for supports, Lucia has Ilyana, Janaff and Bastian
Bastian has Lucia, Mak, and Volke.
Volke is likely in use, and he has not other options. Also, it's 0/1/2.
Mak's other options are Astrid, Haar, and Bastian. Haar isn't exactly around much longer and if you use him he may go flying away at times, so Mak probably doesn't mind Bastian considering it is the same bonus anyway. Ilyana is full, Janaff is also a flier and probably not likely to be fielded. I think Bastian wins supports. At least, Mak and Volke don't have much choice in the matter and are both more likely to be fielded than Janaff and more likely to be open than Ilyana -> Zihark, Mordecai, Mia, even Gatrie.
Also, if Lucia and Bastian are both deployed then that's probably good for Bastian anyway since he's still winning concrete for a while anyway. She does have a better hp and def growth, but not by huge amounts.
So, since I restored the name of Titania's tier to what it was on the other two lists, I think if Bastian stays on his own in bottom he needs a new name for the tier since he's the only one. I request that posts suggesting Bastian stay in his own tier also come with a new name. Possibly something in a similar vein to Seinfeld tier, only instead of "she's so good it's funny", more like "he's so bad it's sad", like a really bad tv show/movie, or "he's so bad it's funny", like a movie/show that wasn't supposed to be funny but was because of how bad it was.
