Which war battle is the hardest out of all suikodens?

Probably Chris's Chapter 1 war battle. You need to over-level te area by 15 levels just to have a chance

In Chris' chapter #1 you'll have only auto-recruits,anyway.


For me the hardest battle would be the last battle in S4 against Troy,if you use only auto-recruits.
Add the fact that 5 of them will be away because they'll be in Elenor's seperate team.

I have already try it and it's really difficult.

Note: Put Lazlo in fighters along with other 3 characters in the same ship,and not assign him as a captain...because rush skill will be available in war battles. Put him alongside with Kika in the same ship too,if you have already learned their unite attack...this will help you too.

I think Suikoden IVs battle become a pain since the best rune cannon users are non-autorecruits (Jeane, Ted, Warlock, Konrad come to mind).

Yeah,that's why i'm saying it.

The best mage available will be Pablo if you use only auto-recruits...but it would be a better choice to put him in Elenor's special team,in order to defeat Graham Cray. So the best solution is to use the 4 knights of Gaien in the rune cannons,who are mediocre rune cannon users.

Here is a fine formation for the last battle with only the auto-recruits:

Seperate Task Force:

Flare
Pablo
Chiepoo
Dario
Rikie (support)


Dauntless:

Captain: Nalleo
Rune cannons: Tal (Water),Kenneth (Fire),Paula (Wind),Jewel (Lightning)
Fighters: Lazlo,Kika,Akaghi,Mizuki

Grished

Captain: Axel
Rune cannons: Sigurd (Water),Tov (Fire),Desmond (Earth)
Fighters: Lino

Gaien:

Captain: Haruto
Rune cannons: Yu (Wind),Setsu (Lightning)


Obel:


Captain: Hervey
Rune cannons: Agnes (Lightning)

I think overall, the final battles of each game, bar maybe 1, will be very challenging. The game assumes you have x amount of characters. I think you'll be heavily outnumbered. I'm not certain, as I've never done an auto-recruit game before, so I could be wrong.

My Suikoden review

I agree with this, with the exception of Suikoden III. The final war battle in that Is quite a trip, but characters like Chris and Fred are so phenomenally unkillable that you should be able to breeze through it regardless.

Add in that Juan, Hugo, Hallec, Lucia, Sasarai, the six Zexen Knights and the twelfth SFDF are all auto recruits, it's no too difficult.

If you have collected all the characters,the final battle will be very easy...especially in S1,because the number of your men depends on how many stars you have recruited....otherwise it would be quite challenging,but still S1 battles are depending on right guesses.





And S2's one too. All you have to do is to sneak into the capital. If you wound one enemy's unit,then it will return into the capital to recover...and after that, it will be very simple to get in L'Renouille.

I know that if you collect all of them that they will be fairly easy, I'm saying that if you've only recruited the "auto-recruits", the final battles are most likely the most difficult ones, unless the game calculates their army based on your total numbers. Imagine the numbers of the Highland Army you face at L'Renouille with your units and hardly any characters to buff them up.

And I'm saying SIII is definitely an exception, as Chris' chapter 1 war battle is far harder than the chapter 5 one
