Weakest party members?

[Smufius]

I've been thinking of doing a challenge-ish run where I only use the weakest characters, but this time without Terry because he becomes pretty godlike near the end. What characters should I use? It's been a long while since I played this so I don't really remember all the characters anymore. The guy we 'save' from a spider comes to mind. His skills were pretty silly and pathetic.

I think this is going to be a bit challenging, because I don't think any of the party members are straight up bad. Even Percy (the spider poop guy) is pretty viable as a party member. I think Queen Roger might be good for your run, because he goes into withdrawal so often that more often than not he's pretty useless.

[Arzeith-Tau]

Using withdrawal prone members would be good idea.. personally I'd reccomend Queen Roger, Tigerman and D!ck. I'd also recommend Rage due to being squishy and has mid-low damage output and Fardy due to high miss chance skills.

Joyless mode with a company of joy junkies in the Pain mode. Mazoh would like this.

[Goose]

Get Crisp in there for sure.

[Lineder]

Fardy, Shocklord, Crisp, Yazan, Ollie and Clint are all awful. However, Fardy and Ollie take the cake.

Don't know the Fardy hate, I always thought he had the Magikarp/Terry effect, that Truck Slam 4 ain't half bad.

Ollie and Clint are super situational, but I like them.

Yazan is made out of papier-mache. He can be your angle... or yuor devil.

Tiger Man can help you if you mass produce Joy and shove it in his throat. Otherwise, you have a really cool looking useless party member. Probably the biggest bad-to-great Joy boost out of all them.

Those guys aren't the best, but not the two worst. My pick for second worst is D*ck D*ckson, the stupid effing Pink Ranger. D*ck's Party Time is pointless, plus like 10% attack isn't gonna help you when a mutant if aiming to bite your head off. He's fast, but Carp is faster. He has a move that trips the entire field, but so does Brad and Fardy. He can deal damage if you give him Joy, but Buckets and Tiger Man can deal more. He can restore his own TP, but he still sucks, so that TP will just go to you spamming Party Time. And then you just use him to chuck bottles. Or waste your Joy. His best usage is being someone that you'd want to take a neck break/heart explode/head eating instead of your good party member. Thank you, Jonathon, I needed a free space that wasn't being used by the useless Pink Ranger.

I'm sorry for being so hard on you, D*ck, because you look as good as Birdie when you stand next to Crisp. You'd think one of the last party members to recruit would be at least better than mediocre, right? Welp, here's Crisp. He's got like 6 SP and he uses it for his normal weak/stupid attacks. Well he's not super weak, but he's not gonna get a chance, because you're gonna use Million Cutter, it's gonna miss 80 times, and then you want to do anything and he's out of SP. He can cause Bleeding, which pretty much everyone can do. He can cause burning, which any good character can do. Or a firebomb can do. In fact, firebombs are better than Crisp. I just want to be able to throw Crisp at enemies just so I don't have to deal with his sh*t.

Here's a hypothetical situation. You're about to celebrate recruiting Buffalo by jumping off a cliff to get a baseball bat, when suddenly Peter jumps down. Super dangerous! Really scary! Aah! Mad Dog hits with a Nail Rake! Jack juggles and fire rains down! Crisp uses his Million Cutter and literally misses all of them! Brad goes for a headbutt! Peter's not stunned! Peter breaks Crisp's neck. On the first turn. And on like the third turn, he breaks Mad Dog's neck. This sounds like a terrible situation, right? I'm not making it up. It f*cking happened to me. So f*ck Crisp. He's useless. He's kinda rude. He's a waste of your equipment and your emotional mind.

I'm slightly intoxicated but seriously I don't like Crisp

[Marshmallow Figs]

Worst combination would probably be D*ck, Tiger Man, and Crisp, by the way. Two bleeders that suck and counter each other out, and D*ck, who also sucks. No Joy. Don't use any stun/trip moves. Have fun!

I have to say, I was not a big fan of Terry either. Yes, he has a powerful late game skill. But for 90% of the time he's plain useless. And when his hour could shine, you're about to leave your party behind.

But don't forget Terry has verbal bash, which has decent chance of causing p p!ssed debuff, best method at preventing permadeath attacks when used on joy mutant as well as decent chance for the enemy to hit itself. Not that many party member can cause p!ssed, that's why I think Terry is actually really helpful.

[wcc]

Well, you might be right. A had the impression that p issed enemies also hit harder, that's why I avoided this skill. But I could be wrong with that. Additionally, there were many cases where I prefered an enemies who "wasted" their turn with skills instead of dealing heavy direct damage. And mutants are a good example for this, because many of them spend most of their time with goofing around if you let them.

[|TG|Mech__Warrior]

I looked at Fardy and said 'Nope', and just about every Joy junkie you get because as soon as they withdraw, they take a 90% damage cut. Sorry, it ain't worth it. While Crisp hits hard, I found Terry to be more useful with his skills. (Then again, I used Terry, Bo and Birde. Fire fire, burning them mutants up.) Richard Richardson is probably the worst since he is just a buff monkey that needs Joy. Tiger Man? I've got a glass cannon named Rage Ironhead. Next.

Satan is a lot easier when you can p!ss him off. Harvey is one of the best for fighting Satan in my opinion because he has moves that p!ss off the enemy. If we're talking Satan fight alone, Terry can verbal bash and even without Hottest Dance, can still be useful because he's not slow and can throw dirty water/firebombs in between p!ssing him off.

[wcc]

Ye, I used him to kill satan without losing a party member. But since it's probably the last fight you take as a team, it does not add so much to his usefulness. ;(

Don't talk ♥♥♥♥ about our god ollie

[FulvousFox]

Any character with Joy withdrawal can be a pretty bad character. Queen Roger is guilty of this.
