People were saying you shouldn't fuse a base unit into another for the 5% tm boost, but instead grind tm on it first then fuse it since it combines.
Unless I'm missing something, there's no real long term advantage to this is there? Sure you're grinding TM on 3 Zidanes at once now, so Zidane TMs faster, but you're sacrificing those 2 slots in your party when you could be TMing multiple guys. So the net effect is the same, you justput everything into 1 guy instead of spreading it across multiple, right?
Naturally, it depends. If you absolutely know that you'll only need one of a given TM (say, Aegis Shield on your tank, for instance), then sure: fuse those Leos to clear out dupes, though it'd be far easier to put multiple ones in your party and grind them at the same time. Similarly, if you're pulling Rydias, Kriles, Penelos, Vivis, etc., just fuse them together because you're going to pull a ton of them regardless and you'll never prioritize Thundaga.
Using your Zidane example though, you shouldn't fuse him AT ALL. Dual Wield is the best TM there is, so fusing it gets you to the end zone 5% faster, but you also lose out on ... getting another Dual Wield.
