Are the game enemies programmed to go all ape-shit berserk over Tiz? Because it's insane how much they all target him.

Even when I have a Valkyrie and a Black Mage sweeping through mobs with Firaga and Crescent Moon and Tiz is only Defaulting, 90% of the times enemies target his soft weak ass, even though B.Mage and W.Mage are softer than him and no one has any aggro modifier.

It's really irksome.

Edit - Guardian Boss in chapter 4 has 125K HP on Hard. I'm reading that he has only 60K on Normal. I am cry D: 

Edit 2 - Scratch that, bastard went down quite easily. It seems Valkyrie with Multitask and buffed to the extreme (150% on everything) and Thundaga Sword Magic goes through his mechanical behind like a hot knife through butter. Was doing 6000 damage per hit, sometimes got 3 multitasks in a row.

Maybe this is a game where the character in the first slot draws the most attacks, since there are no rows. Although I have to say that I didn't really notice it. Additionally, the game encourages you to put someone other than Tiz into the first slot and never mentions anything about the first slot drawing more attacks, so I would say you just have bad luck.

Have you tried a pirate yet? They really suck. Time mages are horrible too.

Victor's class has an interesting skill: Absorb elemental damage for four turns, single target. You can basically go all out brave with it for your entire party and repeat the process four turns later. If the boss regularly casts multitarget spells, you don't need to heal at all.

Gonna fight Victor and Victoria now, can't wait to unlock both their classes, since I believe they'll synergize well with maxed/almost maxed B.Mage/W.Mage, though the sheer amount of HP they both have is ridiculous, if the first, non-winnable fight is any indication.

I only used Pirate to unlock the P.Atk 20% bonus, the class in itself has nothing that's remotely usable, is slow as hell and frail too (only went to lvl.9 though, might have some good skills later). My Thief Tiz, with Precision and P.Atk 20% deals almost 3K per 13 hits attack with Killer Bow. I actually like the Time Mages skills, not the class per see (plus the design is horrible). Veilga is amazing if you use two Ninjas in a party, especially if you have Kunai as one of the subweapons. Transcience activates like crazy.

As for Tiz, I have him on my second slot, Agnes on first (I figured that since she's the main character of the story, I'd have her as my front). Still, I think it was because the Hunter class might have an higher base aggro than other classes, since Thief Tiz is hardly targetted now. Still, it was annoying because Tiz is almost one level lower than the rest of the party, due to constant wipeouts.

Edit - Dear goddess I was wrong, so wrong. Victoria has 94800 HP and Victor has 108000 HP.....I don't think S-E  wanted us to finish Hard difficulty
