Mermaid (!) - both her Multihit ice and Pandemonic Feast are excellent.
Azumi's Scratch Dance is the best early Multihit attack - that also goes well with Pandemonic Feast.
Zhu Tun She makes a nice third with her Bouncing Bite Multihit (and buffs your Aramasa a little bit).
Nozuchi makes a great early physical tank. Zhen is nice for a mix of Afflictions and offense - and makes your attacks better versus the afflicted (+50% Accuracy and crit rate). Also he'll soon get access to Accursed Poison - a mighty magatsuhi CC.
Turdak is nice with first revive and Rasetsu Feast is a nice magatsuhi debuff. Also his Helmsman enables the use of Daemon, who has a high power, low accuracy 4-hit move. When going after Turdak, its very good with Helmsman boosted accuracy (and even better with Omagotoki Critical Pandemonic Feast boosted accuracy).
Aitvaras rocks in the 2nd half of first map, with his unique strong attack + crippling affliction combo (goes well with Zhen's Deathly Affliction passive, of course).
