Mid-Game Party Recommendations
Just wondering if anyone has some ideas for good mid-game parties. I find that just about everyone plays pretty much the same mid-game, but perhaps I'm mistaken. I know that later on some characters start to stand out more when they get open rune slots or higher growths over time, but mid-game I've found little reason to change the starting party of Hero, 2 knight buddies (I picked Tal and Jewel this time around), and Chiepoo. I like throwing Jeanne and Viki in just for some classic Suikoden feel, but I find that mage-type characters kinda suck in this game cause of the sheer number of battles you get into. Only characters I've found that stand out from mediocrity at this point are the ninja trio, and that's mainly just cause of their unite (well, I kinda like Mizuki on her own with the Shrike rune, but at this point her damage is so crappy she NEEDS the strike rune just to keep pace with Hero and Tal's regular damage).
Erk in danger!

Where are you in the game at so I know which characters you have available to you and can advise based on that?
And if I saw you dancing, I would spin you around, spin you around, turn your world upside down

Right after getting Kika and the pirates... oh yeah, and don't include Kika... I'm trying not to use her so much (she's too good).

Re: Mid-Game Party Recommendations
Akaghi and Mizuki are both excellent. They were in my final party in one of my playthroughs. If you brought him, Tal is an excellent choice to keep. Surprisingly, Rita isn't bad with her hammer. I am also particularly fond of Hervey. I found him to be quite good. Hope this helps! There just isn't a lot available to you at this point. After you get Elenor and do the recruitment spree there, you'll have a lot more options and a lot more characters that are decent. Oh, you could probably give Mitsuba and Bartholomew a whirl if you want.

Re: Mid-Game Party Recommendations
At this point in the game, I believe Kate is the fastest magician that you have, and although her magic isn't on the level of Viki/Jeane, she kicks butt with a Fire Rune. Any of the three knights at the start (sans Jewel) are also useful. Lino En Kuldes and Hervey are two of the high-STR characters that have a decent SKL stat, meaning they won't miss a lot. Ornan's good too, but he has that Waking Rune, although it has its perks once he wakes up. Sigurd is decent, as is Chiepoo. Same with Mizuki and Akaghi.
Bartholomew, Mitsuba, Izak, Gau, Dario, and Tal are also high-STR characters, but they have low SKL, so use them at your own risk.

Re: Mid-Game Party Recommendations
Gau and Dario's Unite is very awesome altho it misses every now and then, still it's best for those mobs especially when you want to rush the game
Kika imo is not strong, her physical damage is very weak (i found it sometimes as strong as a mage's damage) add the fact she sucks at magic. the only reason imo to use Kika is for unite with Lazlo, then again you have Gau and Dario's 1x damage to all compared to a measly 0.4
Mitsuba is always in my party, she has a very high if not the highest atk power in the game. She works well with Selma (her unite buddy) you can convert Selma to a healer in times of need. problem is, Selma comes much later in the game.
I did not invest on Viki and Jeane because of their irremovable runes. i kept thinking of this waste of a slot that could have been used for a Wizard Rune.
these were the characters who are a main stay on my main team.
Lazlo, two knights, Mitsuba
Lazlo, Ted, Selma, Mitsuba
Lazlo, Snowe, Ted, Mitsuba

Why use magic when you have a spammable Falcon rune at your disposal?Mio wrote:Kika imo is not strong, her physical damage is very weak (i found it sometimes as strong as a mage's damage) add the fact she sucks at magic.
