To build the best party, pay careful attention to each hero's quirks, which are randomized and can change over time either by using curios in the dungeon or gaining new quirks at the end of quests. Your marching order will get rearranged against your will due to surprise, enemy attacks will re-position your ranged characters to the front row or stun your healer just when you need some extra health, and so on. No matter how meticulously you plan out your lineup, there really isn't a perfect party combination, simply because of the game's many nefarious methods of throwing a wrench in the works. Fishmen, on the other hand, take less bleed damage, so characters focused on bleeding abilities aren't particularly helpful at the cove.
For instance, there are less undead in the forest, so your crusader who does bonus damage to undead is less useful there.
Keep in mind that the best party makeup completely changes depending on location. That's a solid plan for a well-rounded party, but as we'll cover below, sometimes you also want to throw balance out the window and go for broke instead.Ī well-rounded party with ranged, close combat, and healing capability In general, you always want someone with healing capabilities and ranged attacks in the back (slot 4), a serious front line damage dealer at the front (slot 1), and then any combination of ranged and front line damage classes in the two interior slots, with some utility skills thrown in for good measure.
