Ernest is busted in this game, bed of roses is really good, and his best weapon makes that skill even better.

Also Precis can hit for 99999s with Barrier using her best weapon, that's a lot of DPS.

Hyper Launcher with Opera is really good in this game, unsure of the number of ticks, but it's between 12-15 for all the ticks, and it does massive damage.

Actually, any of those characters above are better at dealing DPS than Claude is.

All my characters are level 255 with mostly top gear, I still haven't gotten perfect factors on the gear yet, but it would be minor stuff like getting some MP leech for Ernest, etc.

Final boss with his limit removed got deleted shortly after saying he was going to delete me, like we're talking like a matter of seconds he got melted down, and this was on Galaxy mode. He didn't get a single spell off. I used Claude, Ernest, Opera, Precis.

Not the definitive best, but my preferred is
Claude
Rena
Celine
Opera
Ernest
Chisato
Noel
If Claude, Leon
If Rena, Dias

Never was a huge fan of Bowman. Beyond curing Eleanor of her sickness, there isn't much use for him. Precis is rather slow in combat. Ashton is a legend, but I like Opera better. Tracking Plasma can carry her throughout the entire game, and her killer move set is very fun to play with.

As for Celine, Noel, and Leon - Mages <3 . Depends though if you like magic or not.

And of course our best boi, Dias.

Should also be noted that the mages in this are much better than the original game. They're absolutely viable now.
Jamjars Nov 5, 2023 @ 9:09pm 
ok but whats the best team for rena

how were mages buffed? is it the skip spell animation option?
AH-1 Cobra Nov 5, 2023 @ 9:14pm 
Mages are OK, but they're better to put on assault boost, and not in your active party. You can have them unload their strongest attack spell, or use their best buffs or heals on assault boost.

First thing, I don't know if I was clear but the teams I posted are not "best team" options. There's a lot of fluidity in this game. Aside from Chisato (who is widely considered the best attacker) you have flexibility to build any team you want. You could win with pretty much any team composition. This is far from a hard game.

Second, most spells do not stop the flow of combat unlike the original. In the original most spells would stop combat while the animations played out. This has largely been improved in this version.

I dunno, Ernest with bed of roses along with his ultimate weapon is a bit better than Chisato with comparable gear. Super fast attack, super spammable, targeted AOE at range that can hit any target from anywhere, it's basically a better version of Dias' air slash, zips a million HP off a boss very quickly. You can just control Ernest, stand in one spot and literally spam bed of roses back to back and instantly melt stuff.

I second that, Dias is even more crazy op in this game his wind slash I think it called 1 hit ko's most enemies and if the much higher hp enemies don't die then he just keeps spamming it like rapid fire lol and there is like zero delay and the range goes across the map and the width of it has been increased in this game and I would give ring of swiftness to him, and Opera I would use ring of swiftness and then healing star only takes 9mp and with faeri ring 50% reduction so it only take 4mp, and plus her other art I forget the name where it stops enemies and the mp is just a little more than healing star and then 50% reduction makes it really low mp cost. Claude he has that art to aoe attack and heal him which he learns at about lvl 20 you can set him to only use that art in strategy area I think it was so all 3 parts are filled with only that healing art, and last Rena she is best ai at staying out of way and dodging enemies who get to close so I set her with with faeri ring 50% mp reduction and rune cap 33% mp reduction and her gauntlets to reduce 50% mp called gauntlets of moon? I forget the name of that gauntlet lol... I set her with a few magic spells that you learn at higher lvl I forget the names but you learned it at lvl 40 or higher it's a earth gravity spell and heal, and the spell to heal all ailments for one ally, and silence, and a couple others spells, I disabled crush once I learned the higher tier anti gravity earth spell as the radius was so incredible and damage was so high it was worth the extra cost in mp to be able basically hit most enemies on screen every time it casts. Edit: think I may be off on the mp reduction % a bit, wrote this at midnight as I drank to much caffeine late at night lol.

Ernest got a massive boost, but Universe mode is vastly easier in this version compared to the PS1 version, so there goes his niche. With the damage cap raised, Poison Pills and Tear Gas are no longer the highest damage output available, which removes Bowman and Chisato's niche.
AceMan#1 Nov 5, 2023 @ 9:50pm 
It is amazing how high tier Opera is, I would put her in 1st place as a healer now if you control her as her cost to heal is way less and tons of hp is restored for whole party, I mean 9mp compared Rena's whole party heal which cost at least 30mp without mp reduction items, I remember it was not lower than 30mp.
