List your useless characters

[Mokona]

List what characters you found worthless. Your reasoning and a redeeming quality about them. Also say what difficulty level you are playing on for refrence.

So far for me on hard difficulty its been

Christophorus, the worst of them
Playing as her she doesn't have any useful aoe moves, and I do mean none. The closest thing she will have is her 4 light 1 heavy attack which makes her go into the air and then rains down sound on her enemies, looks cool but does no damage, can be stunned out of, no real aoe in it.
Playing with her, her team skill is worthless. I've never found defense reduction to be anything that I would want. In this game you either kill them easily or need to run away to level up a bit more.
Redeeming perk about her is her ultimate attack is powerful, unfortunatly that does not make up for the rest of her.

Arnice
Playing as her her aoe is weak and most of her combos take to long to use, slamming your sword in the ground and then waiting for 2 seconds before jumping up easily get you hit stopping the combo. Best move to use on her is her 2 light 1 heavy combo which summons mininos that run at enemies. Usable character but so much weaker compaired to most others.
Playing with her Her impact skill is a nice high damage ability but you and your allies tend to knock the intended target out of the way before it goes off.
Redeeming perk is her ultimate, looks cool and is very powerful. Her impact skill is also good if you can pull it off.

William
Playing as him, fairly slow attacks and follow up combos, not as bad as arnice but still to slow for this style of game. He also has no aoe to speak of other then his final combo, which is only as good as most other characters 2 or 3 combo hit, and all his attacks when he has is ultimate up. You can tell his skills are more focused on one on one combat which is what his game is very likely about but in this type of game that really does not work well.
Playing with him his team skill does alright damage nothing really impressive but its arc and range is wide enough that it will probably hit the enemy even with your team trying to save them.
Redeeming perk one of the few male characters that have been made recently that look cool. With his ultimate up he has good attacks, just unfortunate you can't keep it up permanently.

Finaly note I hate the oompa loompa, feel free to hate on him as much as you want here I will never play him.

FYI buddy, you did know that they slow down the combat system compare to the original combat where it is fast pace, so you can't say the characters are bad, I know i hate it too, its so slow pace fighting, plus William can be fast if you activate his speed up effect with Strong atttack, that will boost his moveset.

For Christophorus, Have you utilized her insturment buffs? They drasticly improve alot of her attacks. Try using 2 light - heavy to spawn 4 horns behind her, then use 3 light - heavy. The difference is night and day. The drums she spawns with neutral strong are useful for bases and bosses. I haven't really tested it, but she might be able to stun lock with quick jumping light attacks. But, i'm not sure if its damage is viable on the higher difficulties, still cycling different character and trying them out.

Personally I can't stand Tokitsugu. Unless i'm playing him wrong, he just feels very off to me. Limited range, weird jumping normals, just not a character I like. Speed buffs help a bit, but I still don't really like his playstyle.

Millennia also seems rather cumbersome to play as, however I find her hero skill really good at dealing with bases and large trash groups. Very short cooldown too, with a few KO. cooldown boots, Hit Cooldown Boots, and/or Nobunyaga's Hero skill, its usually up for every base.

Christophorus is not that bad,she has delay in her attacks,but using her instruments in combos is the trick.3 groups of instruments to summon for close,medium and high range attacks.Also,using 4 light 1 heavy with drums summoned is devastating.

Arnice weak aoe? I rank her in the top 5 best characters. Arnice has a lot attacks with vortex properties which are amazing. Her basic charge attack that summons alarune also does tons of damage vs large enemies since large hitboxes. Arnice is very quick with a movelist that has massive aoe coverage with high damage, I don't see why you would call her a bad character.

Also William has the best aoe in the game with his 5 charge. He's only bad if you dont ki pulse. William can also ultimate attack infinitely by refreshing it which boosts his aoe and damage even more, he is also invuln during the entire duration of it.

I also play everything on chaos.

Millenia. She has serious problems connecting her moveset and high tendency to miss. The move than chains best is the constant C1 that summons a tombstone that stuns 1 target allowing you to summon endless strings of tombstone. This move does pathetic damage though but ridiculous because it is endless. Her musou also doesn't exactly travel in a straight line and can miss enemies standing in front of you midrange.

Opoona. Pathetic range, difficult to control and needs getting use to.

Tokitsugu is another one, why they choose him is questionable when we have Horo from Toukiden. Could have just chose Benizuki the village chief/ legendary hero or Raizo, Soma any other hero. I'd rather they add Benizuki with a Naginata, lightning fast weapon with frenzy mode and loads of aerial combo.

I can defenitly agree with this. Try dropping drums every few meters in Musou Rush, there is so much mess on the screen you litterally need to use the map to control at that point.

Haven't played with many of the characters, but I have problems with Laehrinna (or however you spell her name). She certainly can be good for AoE coverage, but her attacks against a single target are highly dependent on a successful combo; miss her spring trap attack and the rest of her combo attacks behind the target instead.
