Most fun build/party combination to play?

There is no universal fun, so it depends on what you enjoy doing. From a roleplaying perspective i like to play scoundrels with a lot of consumables but that might not be the case for you.

If you alraedy played the game then you probably know how warrior type builds can be extremely repetitive and how ranger builds tend to be so broken you just forget about skills because you dont even need them. So if i have to guess i would say the majority of ppl playing this game had a really good time playing mages of various types, maybe 2 lone wolf mages with different schools for more variety.

If fun is having more stuff to do and being able to aproach fights diferently each time then of couse go for a mage, you can easily make a powerfull mage focused on attributes (polymorph) and just enough in each school to learn the spells needed, by endgame you will end all fights in 1 turn with ease even on tactician, but the journey can be fun.

I also enjoyed themed builds or parties, i play with lone wolf all the time so i just have 2 guys (or 1), and i tend to mix the builds to ad a theme and roleplay, the most broken combination i had was lohse as a aero necro mage with summons plus ifan full wayfarer, mostly finn and abusing the hell out of the crafting system so both characters were able to deal both types of dmg and excel at both. CC capabilities were off the charts.

Similar party was Ifan as a physical ranger, and sebile as a rogue, this one was so absurdly overpowered i had to leave it, but if you dont use chameleon cloak it might actually be fun and challenging in certain fights.

Yeah, this game have lots of overpower builds
So if you want some fair chalange - do as developers wants - manage your armor bars
It means - go Hydro + Earth and pick some other Armor buffing spells. Dont use any saving-spells exept armor buffing :)

Since new lone wolf encourages hybridizing more now, I tried a Thor build and had a lot of fun with it. 2 handed weapon and aero. It was a fun build and I paired him with a spellsword to keep the theme of dual damage types.

Like others have said, what's fun for you might not be fun for me. But one thing I'm doing is a retribution build. Basicaly, focus on the skill retribution, with some necro, living armor, one level in geo for fortification, one in hydro for magic shell, two in aero for uncanny evasion for emergencies, a bunch in warfare (of course using shield). All attribute points get dumped into wits, str and con. Basically, let your retribution do the talking, keep your armor buffed as much as you can, and get hit by everyone as much as possible (super easy if you are solo LW).

This is not a super active build where you have to manage a lot of thiungs, but it gives me great joy when people attack me and die.

And while some people really enjoy managing the CC of ice and air builds, I find all of that incredibly tedious. Air especially can be very messy, with water stuns hitting you, your own guys, and making a huge mess of the battlefield. So it really just depends what you personally enjoy.

This build is more fun than it sounds, but i dont see how can it work without going solo, unless you go full invisible party while your tank deals the retribution damage, in wich case you are indeed playing solo anyways.
