So I thought hey, let's make a guide for the best skill sets that the 1st Gen characters can have, because why not? Obviously the kids will always outclass their parents (with very few exceptions), so this is mainly a thing kindasorta for fun for people who feel like using the parent generation as a challenge or for whatever other reason. So basically, our mission is to come up with the best singular skill set and class (or multiple sets/classes if they exist) for every parent-generation character. To participate: Pick a Gen 1 character, propose the class, and propose a skillset for him/her, discuss. (If you like, rank the character relative to the other Gen 1 characters in terms of effectiveness; I may implement a tier/rating system into the guide as well at some point.) * About DLC: Skills like Limit Breaker, Aggressor, All Skills+2, Iote's Shield, etc. will be listed in parentheses. In most cases, DLC skills will be superior to the alternative.

IDK if Lucky Sevens works from the rear of a pair up, but if not, then Str+2 should always be used since Panne will probably never be at the front when attacking happens.

EDIT: Actually if people want, now that we're more or less done with preliminary skill sets for everyone else, I suppose we can attempt Avatar skill sets for each class just for the hell of it if people want.
