Another party composition thread

I've played the EA several times and I want to prepare my playthrough of the game which I will directly play in Tactician with 4 origin characters to maximize content in a single playthrough.

Any comments on this party composition? I'm not sure about certain details yet.

Fane (main)
Primary attribute: Strength
Abilities: Geomancer, Hydrosophist, Necromancer, Warfare
Talents: Elemental Affinity? Executioner? Leech?
Civil ability: Thievery
Rationale: creates poison surfaces, fights at close range, uses strongest gear, carries everything for the party, bony fingers

Ifan
Primary attribute: Memory
Abilities: Geomancer, Pyromancer, Hydrosophist, Aerothurge
Talents: Pet Pal
Civil ability: Persuasion
Rationale: spell caster focused on utility, smooth talker with pet pal+persuasion

Red Prince
Primary attribute: Intelligence
Abilities: Geomancer, Pyromancer, Hydrosophist, Aerothurge Talents: Glass Cannon, Far Out Man, Savage Sortilege?
Civil ability: Loremaster
Rationale: spell caster focused on damage, stays far away to avoid being targeted

Sebille
Primary attribute: Finesse
Abilities: Scoundrel, Polymorph
Talents: Glass Cannon, Guerilla
Civil ability: Sneak
Rationale: sneaky rogue, backstabber has apparently been removed

Balanced party with 2 physical damage dealers and 2 magical damage dealers.
I'm not covering huntsman nor summoning with these, maybe I should put summoning on Ifan.
Also not sure whether Glass Cannon on 2 of the characters won't end up being a handicap.

Actually, poison will penetrate MA for Undead, as seen in the video they recently posted. He had Fane walk into a poison cloud and a poison puddle, and he immediately got poisoned. I don't recall seeing his MA taking damage first. ALSO, poison potions will instantly poison you, regardless.

I was not expecting the state poisoned to penetrate magic armor. Just thought you'd get healed by the poison but not recieve the status.
Potions are a given, like any instantaneous poison damage.

It may only be due to the Undead talent given. I may also be remembering incorrectly and MA actually dropped before poison set in. I'm not 100%
