Which Class For Angela and Charlotte?

[GrandMajora]

I've done just about everything there is to do in this game except for defeat Anise on Hard Mode in less than 2 minutes. I watched a video online showing them pull it off with Angela, Duran and Charlotte, so that's the party I'm trying to use.

For Duran, I'm planning to have him go for Edelfrei, since I've already tried his light classes and found them less than impressive. But with Angela and Charlotte, I'm still unsure of.

I was thinking of making Charlotte go for Sage, but I've been told that Edelfrei can multi target saber spells, so Charlotte being able to do the same would seem redundant, in my opinion.

I've tried Angela's dark classes before, and they were pretty powerful. But Anise resisted pretty much everything except for Ancient Curse, and I'd like to try a strategy that doesn't involve spamming the exact same spell the entire fight.

So anybody got some advice on which classes I should go with for Angela and Charlotte as I prepare to take on the game's extra final boss?

Pretty much any party with Angela can defeat Anise in Hard Mode in less than 2 minutes. Light path Angela can spam Lucent Beam on her 2nd form, while Dark path Angela pretty much vaporize anything in her way with her insane damage...

Spamming the exact same spell the entire fight actually is one of the fastest and most efficient way to finish this challenge.

Which class gets her Lucent Beam spell?

[Sakura Hana]

She gets Lucent Beam on her first Light Class so she'll have it on either Light path you take.

[ShinkuTear]

Angela gets Lucent Beam if she takes Light for her first class change. Light/Light and Light/Dark both get Lucent Beam+.The biggest difference between Light/Light and Light/Dark Angela is the unique spells they get(Glitter Dust vs Doppelganger) and 1 or 2 passives. Light/Light I believe gets slightly better damage output, with all three Limit Break passives by 4th class.

Charlotte classes: Light/Light and Light/Dark are almost identical, with the few differences being Holy Saber vs slightly better passives. Light/Light gets Holy Saber.

Either way, Healing Light+ is going to be around 700+ HP by Anise, while Twinkle Rain+ is gonna shut down ailments, and Charlotte won't get Lucent Beam+ regardless of choice, just basic Lucent Beam.
