Damage - His strength only gets to around 20 but...
Critical - Max Skill! Or very close at the least. Also, Swordmaster bonus of 15%, his supports, and with Wo Dao, he almost always strikes critical.
Speed - He has enough to hit most units twice and he can only be hit twice by a few enemies unless they have a Brave Weapon or you weighed him down with something heavy.
Dodge - It's better then a lot of units, averaging 71 without terrain bonus, weapon advantage, or supports.

Method to Critical Rate Very High
35(Wo Dao) + 15(Swordmaster Bonus) + 15(A Support) + 10(B Support) + 14(28 Skill) + 5(S in Swords) = 94. Since there are only two Wo Dao's in the game, you should conserve them and instead use Killing Edges which deal 1 more damage and have 5 less critical. Thankfully, Karel is not as thin as a toothpick, so he isn't weighed down by the Killing Edge.
Rating: 9.3/10. Heh, I did say it was biased. He IS a strong character though, disregarding his low HP.
