As much as I like Ilias, I benched her a long time ago. There are just no jobs that can make Ilias a better choice than someone else in the same job. Sage is good choice for Ilias because she would be competent in White Magic, Black Magic, and Holy but Luka and Promestein would be just as good in that role, better considering Promestein's unique trait and Luka's abilities gained throughout the story.

As much as I want to just use the characters I like, it's really hard to when they are clearly outclassed by others. Alice is one of the most versatile characters in the game due to all her starting races while Ilias is just an Angel which isn't that amazing, especially considering you have to bring Luka along who gets all the same skills and abilities as Ilias except Pleasure skills. And when other angels show up, you'll probably find even better angel companions with better unique traits unless Ilias gets a huge buff when she gets unsealed. The Angel Race just isn't that good, and we're going to get a whole bunch of angels with that race later on in addition to angels with other races too because of all the chimera angels there are.

Not to mention, I'm liking Ilias' character arc in Paradox a lot more than Alice's whose struggle and situation is way less interesting than Ilias'. That really makes me want to take her along and I did for majority of the game but since I've started the post-game, Ilias hasn't been in the party for more than the last 100 hours of game time.
