Scholar is a waste most turns but you still need it for when breaks are available, but you need a Scholar who can use weapons. Thief Cyrus or more likely Scholar Therion (so I can run Thief Ophilia too for debuffs) seems like the best option for multi-hit daggers on the pups, but they are my worst party members by far atm. Hunter of some kind seems like a requirement for leghold trap, maybe Olberic. Alfyn there for breaks / damage. Gotta get Therion up to speed before I can test this.
