IIRC Smite is just a skill chain for Mericious consisting of damns and wraths.

Yep, I just checked and it's 1 damn followed by 2 wraths.

In general, I would focus my skill points on health and the last abilities (Might, Luck, and the magic/ethereal resistance booster one). Those pretty much help no matter what.

The others I would mix around a tiny bit depending on the situation.

One thing I found with the Musketeers is that Explosive shell is not usually worth it. Especially with higher leveled units with lots of defense, the 50% side explosion usually does little damage. It's really only effective with Empowder, in which case I'd still say it's only decent at best.

Better to Aimed Shot or Lucky Shot usually, or in defensive cases Smokescreen. I would personally make her a supporting character, as the other two have better offensive capabilities imo.
