^ what he said. garrett is better than nothing.
also, I strongly suggest you at least get a mincosted silver witch (aka calliope) or at least start working towards one. your core is set up, what you need now are additional units of just about every class so you can handle all possibilities.

edit: I forgot to add: Eunice is a good bandit who doesnt really need the trust (IMO)
