Should I Just Keep Throne and Temenos?

[LockDown]

Their talents are kind of busted. Free buffs/debuffs at night?

Is there any reason to not just use both of them plus my main and a 4th for the game and just always fight at night time?

It's your playthrough.

I'm aware. But I'm just asking anyone more experienced if there would be any downsides to this. Or is there any point where I'm forced to fight in the day?

Because if there isn't, its pretty broken.

[Melodia]

Downsides? About the only one is that you'll have somewhat uneven levels.

There's one boss fight you have to fight in the day IIRC (I think) but otherwise no you can use it whenever. Though it;s nit THAT OP for bosses unless you're eploying blitz strategies.

Maybe not for bosses but it would make the mobs pretty easy to get through.

Thanks for the input.

That's pretty much what I did, though I used the whole "east continent crew" anyway for full day/night action coverage after starting with Osvald, so it was an easy choice. You can swap to the other four party members once you are done with the initial four, and use the powerful gear your first party got to sweep most fights instead.

Yes Temenos/Throne makes a lot of the trash encounters significantly more convenient to run through, but boss wise there are certain characters that shine a lot more, not that they'd be too bad either though.

However
I will say...you should invest in learning all the characters and understanding their powers and level all of them up, because........I don't want to spoil it.

The only reason you don't want to grind trash encounter at night with throne/temenos is that you don't want to overlevel and make the game too easy. Other than that, yes it's the way you optimize getting stronger ASAP.

Yeah…one time I thought I forgot to put gear on but then I realized I was fighting at day.

Generally speaking, Throne is one of the weakest characters; her night time debuffs are basically all she has going for her. If you're just grinding mobs, I guess that's fine, but I'm not sure it makes up for her being much weaker than the likes of Hikari, Ochette, Cassti, Osvald, and Partitio.

But if you're leveling Throne and Temenos anyway, doing them together makes sense and the debuffs for every fight are nice to have. Just make sure to have some better DPS characters to speed things up.

Throne is easily one of the strongest, if not the outright strongest character. No one else can spam max boost divines like she can, every single turn. Her stats are all around good, second to Ochette/Hikari in physical attack but still very physically strong for whatever physical subjob goes on her.

Yes, night time Temenos and Throne is very strong. Up to you if you find it fun to use them, but they do give an extremely powerful boost to the start of every battle.

I think Throne's "weirdness", is that the thief class is really zzzzzzzzzzzz, untill geared for Aeber's Reckoning/other stuff.

I believe that was due to thief being over the top in Octopath 1, so they nerfed it ?a little too much? - I haven't played Octo 1 so dunno.

Also her latent is "weird" when you perceive her as "thief"...double turn is pretty strong...but again lots of thief abilities are whatever, so you're like "who cares" for a while imo. I kept waiting for that "assassin" vibe through thief..it just wasn't happening, till Aeber, and intentional stats adjustments.

The shtick I used to entertain myself till I got her stats right for Aeber, is played her as secondary merchant, latent full each battle, double turn donate bp to max out bp for different team members to destroy stuff.

That's the main thing she was for, and hired help/rest/side step/item user/lolsteal . The breaks are not bad tbh but..wish they at least utilised a weapon strike or something -_-.
Just a troll with a hat really.

Just her passives' speed buff bonus alone is a big deal to overwhelm trash enemies, but the damage buffs blanketing your entire team are no joke either.
