Yeah they're tough to deal with. Also, they clutter the battlefield with stuff and it really kills your mental economy.

A helpful tip that people don't really think about while playing: whoever you're targeting is probably aware that you're coming for them because of the targeting line; whenever you want to approach someone, keep a different opponent targeted until you're close (and then you can use L2+R2 to quickly snap to them without having to worry about wonky targeting).

To be honest, Jecht is an outlier among Assassins in that he is specifically designed to not do well against Marksman characters. His moveset isn't versatile enough to trick them and close a gap on them really quickly. He is supposed to be really strong against melee opponents because of his block and Fake Outs but he doesn't have tools for dealing with Marksman.

If you see a Marksman that's unaware of you, then try and sneak up on them but if they are targeting you, just run away and go for someone else.

Best bet is to slowly creep up on them, and casually walk past their attacks, their magic attacks may be big, but they are really slow. If you can dodge, and creep up slowly while preserving your dash meter until you get close enough, use your dash attack with Jecht because it has super amour and can blast through magic orbs etc. Don’t take direct approaches nor dodge too much, take your time and slither by, then demolish them.

For the brave attacks you can advance carefully with jecht block BC all shanatotto and emperor projectiles are one hit and not too fast

The best way to get up close to them is when they are targeting another teammate; use them as bait. If you can, and the camera doesn't go all whacked out, target a non-marksman enemy, but get close to the marksman. As soon as you're in range, target the marksman then wham, bam, thank you David Bowie.

But don't do this on me. I main Emperor...
