Welcome to FEH, where a Hero's viability is determined by stats and who they're being a heaux with. :^)Merric is probs the worst green mage tbh, but he's not unusable
He's similar to Boey in that they're both physically bulky green mages with bad res, but the difference is that Boey has +4 def and +3 atk while Merric has +5 spd
You can use Merric and do okay with him, but there are better options.
He's banging Marth's sister, though, so he does have that going for him
iirc you have Julia, so you can just ignore Merric for the most part
I have a 5* Merric that just sits there because he's -atk and he has no good skills to give to other units
Boey is viable as a Close Counter tank gorl. But a lot hinges on him like a Blade Tome user (minus the nuking prowess), as you would need a babysitter or 2. Slap Eirika next to him and give her Rally Defense... That will lead to a total of +5 ATK/+6 SPD/+6 DEF/+4 RES (if you have Eirika equipped with her base skills and Fortify Res Seal). My Boey has Close Counter/Quick Riposte. He decimates most gorls who try to go for him, except for Tharja and Sanaki. He doesn't fair well against swordies that double him. At the end of the day, only 10 people are going to kill him. If he has 2/3 friends nearby then it goes down to 5/3 people.
Merric is so deep in a niche that he has no business being in. His weapon should really be transferable. At least bow users have neutral damage to all parties unless a Raven Tome is factored in. Merric can only kill green/blue fly-gorls. All red fly-gorls survive by A LOT. His defense is not good either.
