Do you have a certain team or use each character?

[Songbird]

And which skills did you end up giving everyone?

[Cutlass Jack]

I use everyone at one point or another. I generally try to make sure I bring characters appropriate to the location I'm going to RP wise. Dealing with Heretics? Bring Hendrix. Dealing with Tech Priests? Bring Pascal. etc.

My trader is good enough to carry varying group selection.

[corisai]

Pasqal a definitely MUST HAVE character for at least one playthrough. His comments are brilliant. Owlcats hit 11 out of 10 for drawing lore-friendly Adeptus Mechanicus.

[Daliena]

Psyker Melee Bio/Pyro RT with Lore: Warp and Coercion (for Solomon Vhyr's armor)

Abelard (Or Ulfar, or Marazhai) for Athletics/Carousing.

Cassia for Persuasion, Commerce and Lore: Imperium with a helmet and a pair of trinkets that boost it (and Commerce). In hindsight, might be wiser to give Lore: Imperium to Argenta next time, but we'll see.

Argenta for Demolition

Yrliet for Awareness and Lore: Xenos

Pasqal for Tech-Use, Logic and Medicae

That's my standard team unless a particular situation calls for another party member to be brought along for business relevant to them in particular.

[Lur Nen Rue]

i take 1 merc and take hit on Space Money just because one custom char is not enough

surprisingly this bode well on early and mid playthrough

skills for everyone dunno, but having carouse is good due to grenade spamming

talent definitely Firebrand because it work with all archetype

[VelesWorshipper]

I am only at the beginning of Chapter 2, but Abelard is always MVP in every fight.

[Sotanaht]

Cassia, Argenta, Pasqal, Heinrix, +merc (officer#3). Of course most of the time Heinrix and Pasqal just watch in combat, they stick around for skills and dialog. Abelard would be better for Athletics/Carouse, but I like the inquisitor and sometimes I even feed him turns instead of Argenta and just smash ♥♥♥♥.

[Malaficus Shaikan]

I have 4 i never change. The last 2 changed if i think it they would react.
Cassie, pasqal, Abelard and Heinrix.

Cassie is a walking nuke, Pasqal is a walking weapon platform that can hack anything, Abelard is a 1 man melee army and heinrix is a paladin(Healing and melee)
Add to that my character who is the only strategy commander.
I always struggle who to bring yvrial?
Horrible sniper.
Jea?
Awefull range attacker.
Argenta worst fighter i have.

[meatballzs]

Argenta, the destroyer of inquisitors, archons, greater daemons and c'tans, Cassia, Jae (social skills+ lore imperium) and main RT (technical and lore warp/ xenos) as cheerleaders, 2 xenos for troop entertainment (athletics, carouse, awareness).

[Echoside7]

The only character I don't use is Idira. The psy-level bonus isn't worth the extra peril chance IMO. That said Cassia(Persuasion/Commerce/coercion), Argenta(Demolitions/Lore:Imp), and Pasqal(Logic/Tech Use/Medicae) are almost always in my party.

[Rhapsody]

Idira is probably the least liked companion. She died in my game. Other than that, Abelard and Cassia are spending the most time on voidship because of their respective roles. I'd love to bring my seneschal with me more, but I feel like his gameplay role overlaps too much with Heinrix.

[Polupostage]

My RT is the brain of the team with high INT and FEL, and of course persuasion, coercion, lore imperium... Everything needed to order around as an officer and master strategist.
Cassia as a second INT and WP character, insane buffs, beats back the warp, though i've never seen troublesome psychic phenomenom even without her. And also, Warp lore.
Abelard damage dealer and tank, and more and more only the latter as the difficulty progress. Carouse and athletics.
Argenta as the main damage dealer from early to mid, with high awareness and demolition. Decent damage even in late, would have been better if i had specced her OP-militant instead of bounty hunter.
Yrliet as second main damage dealer, very good damage all the way to late, with impeccable range, plus Xeno lore.
And of course Pasqal, the only one who was ALWAYS there from the first moment i met him, because of his incomparable skill in Tech and Logic. And decent damage, with a good buff.

But once i found OP Ulfar, he first replaced Cassia, then Abelard, with Cassia still leaving her place for the occasional companion involved in a quest or the lore of the area, like Malcazai for Drukhari. My RT had so much INT and FEL anyway by the end that no one else could could beat him on any lore, persuasion, and coercion. Only Pasqal still in logic and tech.
Because of the bugs in Act IV i couldn't unlock Calligos.

[Stranger]

I have a set group. Abelard, Argenta, Pasqal, Heinrix and Cassia. Would love to take Ulfar also but the truth is he just isn't as useful to me. If I could have built him from scratch maybe, but as it is he's only built for combat and I have that covered. Everyone else also has a necessary skill set so I can breeze through any checks I might encounter.

[Mack]

My main group is my PC (Sniper), Argenta (Heavy Bolter Spam), Abelard (Thunder Hammer Tank). I usually also take Pascal for tech-checks & unlocking things, the 6th slot is the swing slot, I have a created character with a heavy flamer build and Yrilet as the two main people I take. Occasionally I bring Henrix.

[The Binary Son]

I'm only in Chapter 2, but I'll say the two I use the least at the moment are Idira and Cassia. I don't know how to spec Idira properly because she isn't a melee fighter, but only has 2 range psyker abilities. And my Ministorum Priest Officer takes the role Cassia would play in Battle. I'll use them for roleplay stuff if needed though.

Cassia can either spam navigator abilities OR officer abilities, and either way there's no "taking her role". You can always use more officers.
