Best companions for a nano

[Kerberos]

Just started the game and I was wondering which companions are best for a nano. Also which companions have the best story.

[CatowaR]

Matkina.

[Master-Steel]

right now im using Aligern, Matkina and Eritis and i havent lost a fight yet. I wasnt really thinking about synergy that much tho, i just liked the characters and found their banter amusing.

I took Callistege, Matkina and Rhin. I think that Matkina is a must have. Not having a fighter (I play nano myself) makes the game more challenging, but not impossible to finish.

[Phosphophyllite]

Eritis - must have. Perfect fighter + good storyline with Nano (if you took Mind Reading).

Erritis and Matkina are the best. Aligern also fine, especially if you are claiming to be the Changing God

Does claiming to be the Changing God affect anything else besides Aligern?

Most fun I had was with PC Jack, Callistege, Erritis Rhin.
1st playthrough was PC Nano, Matkina, Aligern, Oom (Oom's fantastic)

Honestly? I used Rhin, Oom, and Matkina almost exclusively. Oom and Rhin weren't much of fighters, but Oom can support you well. Matkina has potential to waste legions, but she has low defense. You can actually do ok in melee combat as a Nano if you make good usage of abilities and items.

I would say.. non-nano companions.

The diversity in combat and non-combat skills will be great. If you're the nano, a cookie-cutter set-up would be to get at least one Might specialist (maybe Erritis) and one Speed specialist (Matkina or Tybir) and the third one, just base it in whoever seems fun for you. This way, whatever the game throws at you, you'll always have at least one character that's good at it (and your party will be able to use whatever weapons and artifacts you find without your characters fighting over who gets dibs on what).

I would agree about Callistage, but not Aligern. He can fill in for your might specialist instead of Erritis if you want. Aligern is a Glaive pretending to be a Nano.

LOL True. I tried using (and comparing) Callistege and Aligern. Callistege is almost a carbon copy of my nano MC. Aligern, OTOH, seemed a bit odd for a nano- I mean, skill-wise. I did have a hunch he was built more like a sword-caster or some weird magic-melee hybrid. :P
