Vaan once again is a strong all-rounder with Ashe having stats that lend themselves well to the Archer. Basch in particular has an innate Libra skill, which makes him useful in identifying weaknesses and exploiting them using specialised ammo on with the Bow. The best characters to use as Archers are Basch, Vaan and Ashe. Best Characters in Final Fantasy 12 for Archer Job Archers utilise long-range abilities and can also bolster elemental damage with special ammo and also provide Magic Breaks in battle. The Archer uses swift bows, light armor and is able to take advantage of Item Lores, which enable you to use items mid-battle, which is a truly invaluable skill. We'd recommend Ashe above all else early on in the game, as curative spells can be hard to come by, with the added boost of being able to use hard-hitting elemental magic. Both Ashe and Penelo have an innate Cure ability, with Vaan being more of an all-round character that you can rely on in a pinch when assembling a party. The best characters to use as a Black Mage are Fran, Penelo and Vaan.

Uhlan is one of the classes that I think benefits from TM just giving it something else to do. Uhlan / Time has redundancy in the armor but gets the third Swiftness node and the magic gives it some utility to use MP on. It also has a weapon for almost every elemental weakness though I think that's a lot more useful on paper than in practice.

If you end up wanting to play with bows, Uhlan's heavy armor, adrenaline, and last stand benefits the Archer. Uhlan / Archer gets all of the speed bonuses, all of the good item lores, (potentially) all of the breaks, and a different armor type to work with if your strength is already capped at 99 (access to a Brave Suit in that case is nice). Uhlan / Knight is almost completely redundant and neither of those classes have much to offer the other. Well, I'm certainly no expert but if it were up to me.
