Arch sword is the 3rd strongest (excluding sequence coz I cbf doing battle tourneys) knightsword in the game with nagelrok and excalibur 2 being the best. Because Excalibur 2 is holy elemental, it's literally hopeless against people resistant or absorbing holy (eg, fairies, li grim, and mages wearing mistle robe) Thus I use non elemental weapons to prevent that.
Also Half MP on assassins is one of the best support skills you can have on an assassin. Because its mp growth is literally crap and all it's skills burns tons of MP, Half MP reduces not only Ultima Masher but Last Breath, Rock Seal and Oblivion thus I can use it as many times as I want (there are no such thing as MP recovering skills or items in ffta excluding absorb MP)
How can you not be bothered to get the Sequence to 47+? It's not that hard if you level up your characters. Also, it gives 1 extra movement. Excalibur2 has no element to it either, as far as I know. If I can find my game, I'll double check with a screen shot for you.
Why use Half MP on an Assassin, when you should use Concentrate for 95% Last Breath/Rock Seal/Ultima Masher? What good is Half MP when you can't hit the person? Unless you're savestate abusing, you should be using Concentrate. Assassin's MP growth is not crap, by the way. The only higher MP Growth in the Viera tree is a Summoner. That being said, your Viera must have been an Archer for a load of levels or something to explain the crappy MP it has.
Also, I recommend Fighter Tech instead of Aim for your Hunter. Only thing I ever used an Archer for was the Boost, and that'd only be used once on the first turn when everything was out of reach. With Fighter Tech, you can Beatdown (I can't recall if Concentrate improves the accuracy for this or not) for 2x damage, no MP cost, and Rush people off of cliffs or into better positions for Area of Effect spells and skills.
I've always been partial to Templar/Gladiator for Bangaa, using an Odin's Lance. Damage isn't as high as an Estreledge, but he can Haste, Cheer, and pierce two panels.
Anyways. You're missing a Peytral, and an Acacia Hat on your characters. And people use Shields for the EVA not the DEF.
