The depressing events of the last couple weeks are passed. Still coping but it gets easier with each day. Hoping not to have to go through anything like that again for a while

Don't let the bad rap Exdeath's AI got in the first Dissidia dissuade you--he can be a nightmare if you play him right (if nothing else, hopefully I've managed to prove that much! :D). It's just that his playstyle is essentially the exact opposite of everything else the game encourages--extreme patience and lots of waiting instead of the usual blitzkrieg of DBZ rushdown (or trap tactics for the Emperor and possibly a few others).
Exdeath is tremendously easy to mine AP for, though. Just set Shell Guard and Protect Guard, go fight L1 Chaos, then wait for him to move and use the appropriate counterstance to Almagest him into oblivion. Omniblock or Turn Guard might also work, but it's trickier; Omniblock has tighter timing, while Turn Guard has very lax timing but sometimes fails against stronger attacks.
Oh I definitely know that Exdeath is a beast in the right hands, he's become one of the more frustrating characters for me to fight against in duodecim depending on the difficulty level. It's more that I suck at his playstyle, or at least I did in the original game, I haven't gotten around to trying him out in the new game yet, I might do better now. If I want to do a custom build of him for a quest down the road, I'll have to master a few more abilities. Chaos on bonus day with a Beckoning Cat and maybe some Diamond Studs when I get enough will do the trick there.
