They have immense Defense and Strength values, but tend to have extremely low Speed. Knights are armored defenders that walk on foot and wield lances.

Knights: Roughly the opposite of the Myrmidon.

That means that they will tend to have high Critical hit rates and Double frequently, but won't do a lot of damage on each individual attack. Myrmidons tend to have high Skill and Speed, and medium-high Luck, but lowish Strength.

Myrmidon: The speedy sword-wielder personified.

Here are the basic class archetypes so you can determine what class you would like to class change to at a later time (My Unit starts as a Tactician, which is an oddball class that can use both Swords and Tomes): Now that you know what each stat does, you probably have a better idea of what you would like to do with your My Unit.

Res: Short for 'Resistance.' The magic equivalent of Defense.

Thus the total damage you take from an attack is equal to: Enemy Str + Enemy Weapon Damage - Your Def.

Def: Short for 'Defense.' Defense lowers the amount of damage you take from enemy weapon attacks by an amount equal to your Defense.

Besides boosting Critical and Evasion rates, it is also frequently used in skills that trigger based on random chance to improve your chances for said skills to activate.

Lck: Short for 'Luck.' Luck is an oddball stat.

In addition, Speed increases your character's evasion as well. However, and to use an example, if you have 10 Speed and your opponent has 6 or less, you get to attack a second time. Normally, when you attack an enemy unit, you attack once and the enemy counterattacks once, if able. In Awakening, much like most other FE games, having at least four more Speed than your opponent allows you to Double them.

Spd: Short for 'Speed.' Considered by Fire Emblem veterans to be the most important stat.

Criticals multiply the total damage you do by three after factoring in the enemy's defense.

Skl: Short for 'Skill.' Skill improves a character's Hit rate and Critical damage rate.

Your total magic damage with a tome is equal to Mag + Tome Damage.

Mag: 'Short for Magic.' The more magic you have, the more damage you do with tomes.

Your total damage with a weapon is equal to Str + Weapon Damage.

Str: Short for 'Strength.' The more strength you have, the more damage you do with weapons.

While Awakening added an optional Casual mode that removes permadeath (characters who die in one mission are again available in the next), if you play Classic Mode, this value will still be ever-important.

HP: Short for 'Hit Points.' If you run out of HP, you die.

Here's a list of each of the stats present in Fire Emblem: Awakening:
