![]() Although Slayne will permanently leave the team from chapter 20 onwards (unless you let Accorte die before the end of chapter 20), its worth investing in him because of the utility he brings to any map.ĭrake is what players wished Cezar was. Pirate ships with flame bows are also a threat since they can match his range and exploit his weak magical defence. As for downsides? He's still quite fragile (enemies will prioritize targeting him) and should rarely be made to fight at range 2 unless its against weak enemies. Talking to Hilda in chapter 3 gets him a ridiculously powerful arbalest weapon that makes the first third of the game a little too easy. His default movement has been buffed to 5, and his new acumen skill syncs up well with his good dexterity and strength growth. As your only long range attacker for the first 20 chapters, he is never a bad pick and in fact is must-have for some maps unless you're a masochist. The latter in particular should often be standing next to Zayid for him to enjoy the +3 damage boost. To maximize his potential, always try and make use of his bond buffs with Sheela and (later) Penneloupe. His PW is obtained only in Chapter 11, and its tailormade to destroy demons wielding Devil Pilums. He also has better agility and strength growth in this game, but still has mediocre magical defense. He faces no such problems in VS2, and will always remain a reliable damage dealer from start to finish so long as he keeps levelling and is given a strong weapon (aka a cutlass). Zayid is noticeably better in this game compared to in VS1, where he stagnated somewhat as his comrades levelled up. But this can be fixed by giving her the taskmaster skill. Levelling her can also be slow if you keep using her as a roadblock. She has two minor disadvantages however - weak damage due to poor strength (even with daggers ignoring defenses), and poor survivability when not equipping a PW. To top all that off, she has great evasiveness, agility growth and even has a chance to level up her mobility. Her cheese factor goes into overdrive after chapter 17, when she loses the berserk debuff and gains a 2nd PW that is functionally the same as VS1 Lyttia's - a 2-range attack that lets her strike first, and guarantees a stun on her opponent. While Sujata does go berserk at 1HP, this should only happen for a single turn before the regenesis feature of her PW kicks in, and its rare that she'll actually kill one of her allies during that time. Sujata can hold off an entire convoy of enemies, or block a chokepoint singlehandedly, while your other characters pick them off. Since she can't counterattack while wielding her PW, there's no need to worry about durability. With her PW dancing dagger equipped, her HP cannot go below 1 unless she eats a poison tick or takes damage from enemies that are able to bypass skills (e.g. Whether by design or accident, Sujata's durability right from the start lets you cheese many maps that would otherwise be a decent challenge. These are characters that have ranged attacks (sorry Haldyn), can generally still function well without bond bonuses, and would almost always be picked over everyone below them if given a choice. Its a shame really since it would have been nice if he gave some aura buffs like weaponguard, damage/healing bonuses or regenesis, even without any offensive capabilities. As for Jonathan, I don't consider him an actual character and more of a placeholder to make the stockpile management process more personal. I've placed several characters including our main hero Zade in the "Unranked" group because you're either forced to use them whenever they're available (no choice = pointless to be ranked), or they are available in too few maps to matter. Tier Characters A+ Sujata, Zayid, Slayne, Karajan, Drake, Bennette, Abrahm, Phoeve, Bertoullia, Roleck, Penneloupe A Accorte, Sheela, Ashram, Nelke, Castore, Porruck, Alexander, Hestion, Laffine, Amlute, Aslanne, Ezrel, Orphelia, Fauve, Lilia, Haldyn, Mia, Ravinia B Hilda, Baymonk, Lucion, Claude, Barzelphen, Ouron Unranked Zade, Jonathan, Arielle, Phoros, Salyna, Theodel, Emil, Paulos, Athol, Tasha, Troy Note: characters are not ranked within each tier, and are arranged in order of appearance. This is how I would rank them all, *at level 20+*. The Spoiler-Free TLDRīased on only a character's gameplay strengths and viability, I'm of the view that there are just 3 tiers, with no one in S tier (though some come close) nor C+ and below. of chapters you can use them, if they do not die.

Unfortunately, some storyline spoilers are unavoidable since the tier list won't be complete, and it would be difficult to explain some characters' rankings without them. ![]()
