Best set up for any character

[Mr. Rothgar]

skill, Item, blade grasp (with feather mantle equipped), gain jp up (two swords if u want to fight) and teleport--if u give this to everyone in ur crew u will be able to gain the upperhand by quickly teleporting into the offensive posistino, where the only attacks that have a 70% chance or higher are magic ones everything else willl be below 25 and u dont have to worrry because everyone has item equipped---u just use ur classes best attacks or do regular attacks and u will dominate (a teliporting orlandu armored up who cant be hit whos carying the excalibur is one scarry in site)

I wouldn't call this the best setup. Move+3 gives characters enough mobility without having to risk a failed teleport, and Item isn't that effective without Item Throw, and even then, the effects are limited. A versatile party is much preferred to that setup.

Or just have any party with Math as their secondary skill. Even better if Orlandu's in there.

Someone who's learned all the important Math Skills, Cure 4, Esuna, Raise and Raise 2 is infinitely preferable to someone who can use an item on one of the spaces next to them.
