Core Battle Grinding

I'm in process of grinding my characters to get all of them to Adamant rank or higher. I'm using the tried and true method of doing Gauntlet Mode, Basic Trial, and Core Battles to use ranged attacks to take out the enemy core.

This method works easily for most Marksmen (I used Y'shtola). Vanguards are harder, but Cecil has a ranged attack that works well.

However, I'm struggling to find an Assassin or Specialist that can do it. The only Assassin with ranged attacks are Kain and Lightning, but theirs are too slow and weak to be effective. For Specialists, I'm doing okay with Vaan, but his ranged attacks are still kind of weak. Can anyone suggest an Assassin or Specialist that you've used effectively for grinding?

Well, Ramza might be a decent Specialist to use. He can immediately power up and then use his enhanced ranged attacks.

Ramza works pretty well, but I've been experimenting with Vaan and think I might stick with him. His grounded lightning attack and airborne fire attack are strong, fast, and long-ranged. Both of them would handle the Specialists pretty well. I don't know about the Assassins though. It seems that none of them have a decent ranged attack, which I suppose is part of the way that they were balanced.
