Disregard above strategy
Use above strategy

Make up your mind!

Oh and I prefer going Dark Flier when wanting to use magics. :P

Rofl, should have said "disregard above strategy for FeMU" XD. 

Dark Fliers have a compound weakness with their Flier class plus low defence. My Warrior Donnel and Bow Knight Inigo, both equipped with Parthias or forged Brave Bows eat Dark Fliers for breakfast .

I prefer a somewhat sturdy, 0-weakness, magic class. With 50 Mag, my FeMU can Staff support anywhere on the map with Catharsis, Rescue, Fortify and Ward so she doesn't have to move at all and if an enemy does manage to break through, she can get an odd kill here and there with forged Thoron.

On the other hand, with 42 def and 46 res, my Sorc Morgan can tank some hits and get free health buffs with forged Aversa's Night.

Iote's Shield/playing smartly make up for them weaknesses, and I believe Warrior's n Bow Knights aren't much for def/res either Mr. double standard. :P  Besides, their def is high enough to where they can't get one rounded by  an equally strong opponent, and Magic seems to be more OP than weapons so if I had to choose one I'd take the higher res. Plus you could also have her equipped with Sol, Renewal, n Pavise, for massive tanking ability. Yeah I'm clearly biased here but still!

It's true, they aren't, that's why my mages carry forged Rexcaliburs just in case . 

The same skill combo can be applied to Sorcs through inheritance, with the added bonus of higher Def and Res for boosted effect (though that would be overkill, especially Renewal and Sol). 

I dunnu, I might be also biased against Flying/Beast units because of their inate weakness. Probably it gets better with those DLC items, but in an un-DLC fight, I just don't see their advantages over my current field.
