FINAL FANTASY TACTICS ADVANCE MISCELLANEOUS TIPS & TRICKS
Alchemist Item ability
An Alchemist has an item ability no matter what. You can have a second ability such as Sage and the item ability as well.
Animist Arrow defense
If you have an Animist with the S-ability Block Arrows (Green Berrete), make him a Juggler and equip him with Power Sash to learn the much better S-Ability: Return Fire. This throws back any arrows shot at him. Alternately, you can do this before giving him Block Arrows as an Animist.
Marche Powerful character
Make Marche a Hunter and teach him Sonic Boom. Then, make a Paladin. Because Double-Sword allows him to hold the Excalibur2 and Nagrarok, he will have a 563 weapon attack. Give him "Hunt" as his secondary A-Ability. He can now use Sonic Boom as a Paladin. It is a long-range area attack, which does about 400 damage to all targets.
