Does anyone have ever used Faker for real in their party?

I just don't see why you would want to use Faker in battle, I only develop it to get Junah's Royal Archetype and to get some of its skill. Am I missing something here? Anyone know better about how to use Faker, or people also just use develop it to get some of its skill like me?

Faker seems kind of pointless in the mid to late game. By that point you should have a variety of attacks that apply debuffs and deal damage. And many late game bosses remove all their debuffs on nearly every round (but you still want to apply at least 1 debuff per round so they spend the action removing it instead of attacking.)

He seems only useful early on before you get those attacks so you can still apply triple debuff stacks on bosses for reduced attack, defense, and accuracy / evasion. (Though Knight gets an accuracy and evasion reduction + damage move at the first archetype.)

It can have value in some situations with its 0 mp aoe synthesis, but otherwise its pretty much just for getting the skills to put on something else. I used a lot of Vidyartha in my playthrough, since moves that apply more than one stack of a debuff are pretty rare.
