Alicia is hilariously OP. Scouts are broken enough on their own in VC1 and everything Alicia has on top of that for being a you-know-what? Dayum.

Scouts are broken in every Valkyria Chronicles game, by the way. Consistently the best class. Mobility is king in these games, and their rifles do the most consistent damage at longer range than Shocks. Shocks are only really viable in 4 because Scouts can pull them with direct command, and for killing tanks. Engineers are fine if you're playing your first play through but they're basically ghetto Scouts late game. Lancers and Snipers are also alright for a first play through but fall off so hard in the post game it's not even funny. Not going to rate any of the special classes, as they're highly game specific.
