can someone make a comprehensive guide of mutually exclusive puppets and how to obtain them?

[The Relentless]

yes i saw the achivements list, it' not in depth. i'm not planning of playing this game multyple times in a short period of time so i would be glad to have the puppets i really care for on my first try.

can someone list all of them and explain who are mandatory, who are missable/secondary, and who are mutually exclusive, and in that case how to obtain each?

it would be a really helpful guide, for people like me who really don't like this "luck" based puppet selction, in your first run

I thought about it but not like it is necessary. You can see abilities of all puppets in one playthrough, so you can decide your style and choices between one of two puppets yourself.

apart from the 3 main character, i think the serbekian mage is pretty much the best, if not top 3 character in the game, he does so much dmg, can do AOE, and have freeze/lighting imunity if you need to use it (i dont except for 1 place). and if your just doing all the sidequest you wont miss him, hek im not even sure he's missable. wood elemental and wasp are exclusive i never use wasp except when they force you too didnt like him very much. idk if wood elemental is good never use him yet. zaar and carrisa will come with the story and they are very good, i prefer carrisa over zaar but some like zaar more. darius and falon are exclusive too, never try darius yet, and falon is kinda meh not bad but not good either (i was playing as jasker so i already had a better archer), the last exclusive are the shadowhand and the draconid, if you are playing as the mage you should go for the draconid since you need to reach imperial tomb VI by not taking shadowhand soul. i never tested shadowhand yet, idk if he's a better archer than falon. and as far as the draconid is concern he's kinda bad, would have been nice if it was possible to unlock him way earlier since he have imunity to poison,fire,lighting and ice, but in term of damage wise he's bad

My team is 1 Mage (Elvia- My main character) - 1 Tank (Ironclad Zombie) - 1 Physical Melee (Zaar then Clarrisa) and of course Devourve

[Enfys Ellezard]

Wasp or Golem, both are mediocre
Falon or Darius, both offer different storyline. I went with Falon on my 1st playthrough because Jasker and Falon are husband/wife so it makes senses he would go for that
And the last one is Shadowshand Assassin and Draconid.

The one you really want is the Draconid. Draconid is the best party member in the game because he has the ability to timefreeze for 8 seconds that nothing is immune to, including final bosses, and can reset the skill of the entire party, including himself. This means you can Timefreeze->Devourer's Soul rend-> Deal huge damage with someone -> Swap back to Draconian -> Reset -> repeat. Everything in the game is a joke if you do this because being given 16 seconds to bash on anything is opasfk. He also comes with great AoE and has access to all items slot, making him better than Sebekan for normals clear especially if you just Time freeze -> AoE -> reset -> AoE and bam, everything is dead before they even get to act.

But yeh, the best team in the game has Zaar and Draconid in it. Zaar has the highest damage in the game because you can slot twice as much weapon so he outdamage Carissa thanks to OP crit and how the crit damage orb works (It doesn't add 15% flat, it adds 15% of what you have so if you crit for 200%, it adds 60%) and Draconid gives him time freeze so he never receives any damage anyway on bosses while he deals 50-60k damage in that 16 seconds.

where can i find the werewolf?

Like for real - are you serious? All charactrers are balanced - in right builds all of them can be usefull at least. My personal Top-Tier:
1. Carissa - some of her skills just OP
2. Sebek - AOE, no more words
3. Kalig - Yep, he's a bit boring, but OP as hell. Adrenalin rocks.
4. Necromancer - good support for everybody
5. Ishkai - a single guy, who can defeat bosses like nuts.

All others are Okay, situational, depends on builds. So play and have fun, make your own story-playthrough, thats the way to play this game. Dont ask "how".
