Honestly a half decent team.

White Mage gives you all the heals early on, and can start dropping damage with Holy in end game. Granted, you sorta have to clear Fork Tower for that first.

Thief is an eh job, but can take !Sing and boost your stats while everyone else works.

Dancer gets crazy damage if you get lucky on Sword Dance procs.

Bard lets you stoplock Omega, and can utterly shut down most random fights and shred undead dungeons.

And it made one-eighth the difference.

The good news is you'll be pretty strong once you hit World 3! The bad news is getting to World 3.

If you haven't done Ronka Ruins yet, you can steal a Lamia's Tiara from a Lamia. That'll boost the chances of Swords Dance to 50%, which you're going to need.

Bard Songs are going to be invaluable, especially for dealing with randoms. Target-all Confuse and Stop will make your life a lot easier. Requiem will be your best grinding option for certain areas.

You'll probably want to grind Metamorphs for Staff of Judgment drops to take down W2 Exdeath.

That's a Triple Crown right there, baby. Bard to !Calm Omega, Mime to use Wonder Wand to Berserk Shinryu. Chicken Knife Sword Dance to put out some damage.

I pulled Black Mage, Mystic Knight, Beastmaster, Samurai.

I know Omega is free, what can I do for Shinryu to secure the triple crown? Wonder Rod berserk and then either mirage vest glitch or pray for blade grasp? I would really prefer not to do all that menuing for the vests since he's so fast. Can I masamune initiative into lamp carbuncle to survive wave so I can wear shoes?

Thief is one of the rougher starts - bring (a lot) more Potions than you think you'll need, and don't be afraid to stick some characters in the back row to act as honorary healers. Random drops of daggers in the ship graveyard help on the next two bosses (graveyard and mountain), but you can get by without them.

Detour into the Walse Castle basement for an elven mantle, stick that on your frontliner. Steal some dagger upgrades (at least one for your frontliner) from the wyverns in the water crystal tower, and consider having one frontline and three support-only backline for the boss there because he counterattacks and hits hard.

Advice after that depends on what you get for your other jobs, but !Steal can often be useful (Hi-Potions are enormously powerful in world 1, and you can steal them in the fire ship, for example), and !Flee is one of those QoL abilities you'll totally take for granted until you do another run where you don't have it.

Hermes Sandals on everyone and plenty of Phoenix Downs. Shinryu is fast, but with everyone Hasted you'll still be able to outpace him. Don't even need Magic Lamp shenanigans for the opening Tidal Wave (which wouldn't work anyway since it can't be reflected), because your Wonder Wand user will go before him.
