Final Fantasy Tactics Question - Spoilers

[Pwulp]

So what's everyone's favorite counter move? I love Hamedo because it pwns the shit out of enemy soldiers (especially on a ninja), but it sucks in random battles since it never works on monsters.

Blade Grasp (significantly increased evasion) is hands-down the best counter move, unless you're facing a squad of Black Mages. It's absolutely dominant against physical attackers even if it doesn't have the "in your face" capabilities of Hamedo.

EDIT: Why is everyone in love with Monks? Ninjas are clearly better...

They are incredibly self suffecient with good damage, move, chakra etc.

yeah, but ninjas can basically one-shot most targets (ok 2-shot, but it's one round). Monks need to boost a bunch before they can do that. Also, Throw is a lot more versatile at range than Earth Slash (which is a kickass ability, to be sure).

Blade Grasp, hands down as well.

My favorite job to play is Samurai.

Draw Out --- Draw Out
Guts --- Destroy Sword
Blade Grasp --- Blade Grasp
Equip Shield --- Equip Katana
Teleport --- Teleport 2

(The second list is when I h4xed it. That's what I used.)

I always sport the Genji Armor and Masamune (I know, Chirijiraden is more powerful, but I just love the look of it. :3)

Not too over powered. Teleport is always a "lulz" and an awesome ability. I remember my friend and I used to trade off the controller and he would always give me shit when I could pull off a 10+ teleport. LOL I always loved trying to move entirely accross the screen and having it work. Good times. (Not to mention it looks pimp shit).

Also I used the weapon-duplication thing *ONLY* for creating more Manamunes and Chirijiradens for Draw Out. Those two are elite.
