But if you manually control the Med, you can Ensuna/Raise to your heart's content. You don't need to manually control a Com or Rav, they do quite well on their own since all they do is spam whatever attack does the most damage.
Not even true though.
That's another deficiency of the A.I. They'll often choose an attack that does less damage, just because the A.I. is not intelligent enough to be able to differentiate between abilities which do different types of damage.
For example, say an enemy is weak to Physical Attacks and the element of Fire. Now, performing a Flamestrike is significantly more useful than casting Fira in this case. The damage dealt is more with Flamestrike and everything (I test out various abilities on enemies and see the differences in damage dealt on average, it's the way I find the fastest ways to take down enemies).
But instead, they'll mix it up like this ->
Flamestrike -> Fire -> Flamestrike -> Fire
When we're trying for speed and you take a thousand or so HP difference per hit average, it adds up.
These little details are not so important in day-to-day battles, but rear its ugly head during hunts and high level play.
