What cheese do you need? lol I've absolutely destroyed Tactician and I'm in arx had no trouble and even used the impossible mixed damage build. You can choose to keep ignoring my replies but It doesn't make it less true. The only time tactician mode feels anywhere unfair is the very beginning of fort joy where you have literally nothing and your trying to beat magisters who are fully equipped. Thievery and lucky charm help but its not stuff you need to do in order to keep up gear only if you wanna maximize it. They actually make thievery and lucky charm useful for a change and people get all up in arms about it lol, I have a knight geomancer red prince a battle mage beast who has geo hyrdro and aero a duel wield wand fane summoner with necromancy and a polymorph/ranger lohse and I have had no troubles at all except to certain instant kill moves which I don't know to dodge because its my first time seeing them and all I takes is sending in one character/summon next time or just give everyone comeback kid smile. Its not impossible its just a hard difficulty and people need to learn if you have to cheese every fight to win your better off on classic
