Sage X Mage Knight
I was planning to use Anna as a Sage in this Maddening run because she would be my Byleth user since I’ve never used Thyrsus in any of my runs but wow, the difference between Sage and Mage Knight is ridiculous in the base stats +1 move, +2 Speed, and +1 Build not to mention in Chaos Style, where in most cases there’s a +6 Speed difference between Sage compared to the +2 Magic, 5% Magic Growth, and Spell Harmony, which don’t matter as much. I think I’ll still end up going with Sage this time, but I never thought the difference was that big.
