Well, you see, each character in the game has only one main class. There are some characters that have "additional" classes, like The Warriors Three or Mandarin. For instance, Fandral is an Infiltrator, but also counts as a Tactician. You can (actually could) equip him with Empowered Iso-8 for Infiltrators, but not ones for Tacticians.

The bottom line is that she only gets the benefit according to the attacker's main class. So, for example, she gets attacked by Mandarin and she only gets Tactical Tendency (because it's his main class as shown in the preview screen, the one you see before entering combat).
