Thats mobile games and gacha mechanics for you. Gotta pay up if you're tired of Hector crushing your team all the time.
Not really, there's plenty of ways to deal with Hector (start by not attacking first). Roy's just particularly good since he's (over)specialized against axe users. On the flipside, he's complete crap vs lancers.
The game really emphasizes the weapon triangle, and Roy doubly so.

i think its more about colors at play too. red beats green, green beats blue and blue beats red.
The whole game is like this, not just Roy or the likes... Part of why Takumi is considered the "best" is that he's grey/colorless, so there isn't that weapon advantage thing (except for some mages with advantage against colorless special weapons, like male Robin) plus always countering, having balanced defense, and shit tons of offense. That said, my Olwen when boosted by Gunter will wreck him just because Dire Thunder's double means I kill anything that isn't green or has crazy magic res in the first round (and with +6 speed, I often get a quad attack against the heavies). Against armors, I can generally just ignore weapons triangle completely because they often have Res so awful it doesn't even matter.
If I'm just trying to grind through quickly, and not sitting there doing the math, I'm constantly being surprised by either not taking damage, or enemies that one-hit-kill everything on my side while taking no damage, even with weapon triangle advantage. There've been more than a few times when I've sent Olwen in on Tiki and blue magic just plain bounces off her, weapon triangle be damned. (Of course, a lot of times, it's because I'm stuck with my Lv30 all-4* except Olwen, my only 5*, team up against an all-5*, all 40+ set of enemies...)
There's also just flat-out the fact that RNGesus can give you the middle finger or part Heaven and Earth to give you the godliest character ever by giving you nothing four or five levels in a row on the 4* you had to upgrade because YOUR gachas never give anything but 3*s, while the other guy had +Def every single level....
