Your favourite team composition?

[Mecharion]

Cant decide what companions I want to take with me on the journey.

Whats your favourite composition - and why?

Min maxing is not priority - its more about the question who are the most interesting, symphatic (lol) or lore heavy characters in your opinion? Or the most funny ones?

Abelard for example is way to connected to the RT to leave behind. Would feel bad to not have him arround.

But the techpriest? In dont know.. many like him but i dont see why until now. But im not pretty far in the game.

Officer - Sanctic Psyker main progressing into master tactitican
Cassia - aoe damage, debuff, stun burn, providing additional turns .. She got heavily nerfed, but let's be real - those nerfs only brought her back into view of the other characters in the game, including the main character.
Argenta - burst militant, I don't think that one of the most played builds in the game needs an explenation
Pasqal - skill monkey with a plasma gun, thank you.
Yrilit - sniper assassin
[who ever you want, probably abelart or heinrix]

I'd pretty much pick the same party for fluff reasons, though I do love Idiras lines - not taking her hurts a little .. on the other hand: Not summoning random demons into your backline comes with a lot of benefits ..

The new companion seems interesting enough but fights with other npcs in the game for a spot in your party so I am not certain how to match her into a party yet.
---

Pasqal in your party: He has an interesting story that partially relates to the overall plot of the game (it is mostly a personal thing but it does connect a little bit)
He has funny comments here and there - just having a tech priest is nice for fluff.
He provides you with tech and logic to such a degree that you can almost stop worrying about those skill checks which is HUGE.
Speced into his personal skills (the tech priest ones) and geared towards plasma weapons turns him into a pretty decent killer with a range aoe option, he also buffs your party through operative skills and is a good candidate for the strategist class which at least one character in your party should have just so you can harvest the zone bonuses.

Abelard, Argenta and Pasqal. Together with main (officer) they cover all the basics, and anything more is an overkill. Last two slots are only used if the game forces me to.

[Lord_Eol]

6 warrior/arch using mercs or toybox to reclass NPC's (as I like the storylines). Not because they are "fun" but because they make the game less tedious, i.e. combat is less click heavy hence goes faster so less dreary as it's just charge->attack->kick->repeat. If the mercs let you recreate ANY of the NPC classes, I'd just run 6 navigators.

[dgresevfan]

I can't do without Argenta and her charming habit of unleashing about 40 heavy bolter rounds into the face of the enemy while laughing maniacally.

I try to make consistent groups that have all roles but also makes sense to my alignment.

Cassia and Pasqal are fixed picks, they are just too unique to remove.

The others:

Melee:
Heinrix for dogmatic and herectic - Warrior + Executor
Abelard for dogmatic and iconoclast - Warrior + Vanguard
Also chainsaws are MAD OP so they now can kill amost anything in a single turn.

Ranged DPS
Argenta for dogmatic or herectic (sniper or heavy bolter soldier + arch militant)
Yrliet For iconoclast or herectic (always sniper operative + assassin)

Support:
Idira in herectic (operative + executor)
Jae in Iconoclast
Kibellah in Dogmatic (blade dancer + executor)
(but I'll change those according to the mission/party combos).

Well it depends on what my RT is. So my current game RT = non combat (Officer, Grand Strategists) - Still Act 2.

Three officers: Cassia AND RT AND Jae
Two Grand Strategists: Cassia AND RT
Master Tactician: Jae
One Tank: (Abelard OR Heinrix)
Three damage dealers: Cassia AND two out of (Kibellah, Idira, Argenta, Pasqal)

Main variation is swap Jae for an extra damage dealer, except I like Jae.

[DexGames]

Me
Heinrix
Cassia (now that she's not absurdely op anymore)
Pasqal
Yrliet
Marazhai (potentially switching to Kibelah)

[la_nague]

with the new DLC companions, there are too many good choices, its hard.

As a Dogmatic Commissar, I essentially just roll with the other Dogmatic companions - And Abelard.
1-Abelard
2-Argenta
3-Heinrix
4-Ulfar
5-Pasqal(before DLC) Kibellah

[Commodus]

warrior tank commissar arch mil (me)
Ulfar
idira
kibellah
pasqal
cassia

Sometimes I switch around, but that seems to work alot, I know many don't like Idira, but she does decent crowd control esp early game, then debuffs and buffs.

Theres a few times were Ive had to reload a mission due to her unbound soul nonsense:/ I wish there was an earlier way to sort that out:P

I used argenta up to getting ulfar, but he just seems a better her, which is a shame since I miss her faith quotes and ulfars lines get on my nerves.

[Beer Baron]

Abelard, Cassia, Argenta, Pascal and Ulfar because I find that they are the fun to use. Also Abelard is a must have in any team; who is going to introduce me to everyone?

[Shockz]

Myself - I usually play Soldier/arch-militant because I cant really get into any other class type, and I love locking down the field along with Argenta

The team
Abelard - absolute no brainer if you dont play a tank yourself and he is just such a likable bro
Cassia - duh, even after nerfs she is still the best
Argenta - again, duh, she just shreds entire teams of enemies
Yrliet - to take out the enemy backline

and for the 6th it is usually Pasqual with his plasma build.
With the introduction of Kibellah I have a hard time deciding who to replace because she is really strong.

[Bill Gates]

can you make a full team with all high testosterone space marines?

[Lord_Eol]

"can you make a full team with all high testosterone space marines?"

No, sadly the merc / NPC generator doesn't let you make cool mercs, just imperial guard.

[limith]

Sanctic-Arch Militant RT
Officer/MT Jae
Officer/GS Cassia
Arch Militant Argenta
Pyro-Executioner Heinrix
Assassin Yriet

Although I frequently need to bring Bounty Hunter Pasqal in place of Heinrix for skill checks. he's kinda bad in combat.
