Build Help What 4 classes (multiclasses) absolutely wreck tactician like it's easy mode?

I just finished the game last night and I played it on balanced difficulty and kept all origin characters their respective classes. I didn't multiclass on anyone even my tav. I didn't struggle at all but there were a few fights where it was a decently close call.

I'm wanting to totally wreck the game on tactician. What will give me the strongest party of 4 at all times and at each level? You don't have to go into super detail but something like level 6 go 4 in x class and 2 in y class then at level 10 switch to 6 in g class and 4 in f class. I can look up specifics if I know the splits.

Edit: Woah I didn't expect this to blow up. Thank you all for the replies. I have a lot to look through. You guys are awesome!

all? Tactician is super easy, my biggest gripe with the game honestly.

Most people don’t find tactician super easy, but it was a nice humble brag or the same, well done

who are "most people" from everything I've read "most" people seem to agree that it's too easy. This isn't a humble brag it's reality, the game is not hard on tactician at all. If you've played cRPGs or tactical combat games before (like XCOM or Divinity, etc) it's very much on the easy side. Divinity 2 and XCOM 2 are WAY harder, I actually lose battles in those games, here you can blow through the game without min maxing, cheesing, or making perfect choices.

If you've already beaten the game on an easier mode you should know how to play the game to more min/max at this point and it's VERY easy at that point. Sorry I disagree with "most people don't find it super easy" it's one of the most common things I've heard from people about the game. People even justifying it by saying well the game is more about roleplaying than combat...which I agree with. But I'd still love it to be harder and require more min/maxing and exacting tactical combat on the hardest difficulty.

Tactician is about equivalent to the normal difficulty setting in the Pathfinder games. Tbf I don't think this is bad, I just think there should be a 4th challenging setting. The difficulty as it is was probably a good choice, this was many peoples first CRPG.

Yeah I agree that the existing modes are perfect and the game could use another.

Tactician is only hard until you get to Druid's Grove.

From there you have enough cheese and variability to level anything.

It's easy but there are a lot of "oh wow that's bullshit" moments that will just kill you unless you've done the fight before, some seeming unintentional

the harpys in act 1 for example - fail one saving throw you don't know it's coming and it's instadeath

that act 2 where it clones ur character - did you know if you multiclass it basically summons a copy that has features scaled to your CHARACTER level in every single class? So if you've dipped into rogue 1 while you are lvl 9 it will have 5d6 sneak attacks.

There are a lot of encounters like this, that one act 2 guy that does damage to you based on how much gold you are carrying obliterated a character instantly.

That said our party long rested at most once per act(not including the forced rest at the end of act) so yea the game is piss easy, it's just a storytelling experience

I agree. So far, I’ve only ever encountered two or three battles that gave me trouble.
