What does everyone think the best skills are for each char?

I know Sword of life for Claude is a no brainer, that thing is sick. Curious what other skills/spells people swear by.

It depends on your composition/what you expect out of your char. Am not the best one for this but

Chisato - 100k volts, it's more of a field wide AOE at range, but I hear it's pretty devastating at close range.

Dias -
DPS: Air Slash
Break: Full moon slash - this can lift enemies to trigger opera's last weapon

Claude:
Sword of life isn't even really good ?
DPS: Meteor palm, I hear ?
Break: This fire fist thing ? forgot name
Utility: Rock explosion, thing juggles enemies pretty good (lifts them for opera's weapon), and AOE's great

Ernest:
Either Sonic Whip or this Rose thing, Sonic whip can support other characters breaking and works really, really well with Opera's Hyperlauncher.

Opera:
If you have her last weapon and you have someone who can juggle enemies, you probably want to spam tracking plasma, otherwise, I like to use gravity shell + hyperlauncher in a combo. Gravity shell is huge utility. Both have elementals, you might have to swap them out for some fights.

I have bowman, but idk, I can't really make him work as well as the last four, which I actually use.

I don't have ashton. ><

I'm probably not playing min max, but I'm still clearing battles in 10 seconds and under halfway through maze at lvl 200.
