The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Depends only on what Char you like, its possible with every Teambuild.
But one Member should be there who can take an Enemy out of the Picture for 2 Turns so Bormin with Hogrush or Magnus with his Possesion would be good.

Dux is good overall, alpinist, wings and crit for general combat, silent assassin for stealth kills and circuit breaker for anti robot.
Bormin is really good in general fights with twitch shot. Hog rush is always good, but it really shines for stealth kills.
Selma is probably the best general fight character with twitch shot, tree hugger and alpinist.
Farrow is the best silent killer, but can be useful in general fights with her multi shot if enemies are grouped enough, also anti robot with circuit breaker.
Magnus is kinda....good at stealth and not much else, at least I dont find mind control that useful.

@Dascrub Magnus has some uses.
For example, there are several places with a tank and some other ghoul standing next to each other.
Control the smaller ghoul with Magnus and use him to attack the tank.
Then you can just mow down the tank, while he focuses on the nearest target - his former pal, and finish the poor sod afterwards if he survives the tank.
Safe kill - healthy mutants!

Yeah you're right, there is that. I kinda dislike that tactic just for the fact that mind controlling anything that isn't a butcher has 75% hit chance.
So if in your example I miss that mind control, I'm now stuck with with 2 ghouls and only 2 mutants to act. But if I instead do something like a Dux/Selma/Bormin, I have tree hugger and knee shot that will keep the tank stationary for a turn each, i have 2 twitch shots and a normal shot on the first round, meaning the second ghoul dies in opener and only tank is left. I just don't like doing non 100% things in this game where it can lead to disaster, tanks are too scary to take a chance imo.

Mind control only works on ghouls, not on robots or dogs which sucks.

Did anyone try to MC a shaman and summon allies? Think that would be cool to make from 3 into 4 then into 7. Have to try it next playthrough haha!

there's a damage attachment which stuns robots with 50% chance every shot you take. There are two attachments with this buff. Those attachments are pretty OP imo as you can chain robots with stuns just by doing normal damage on them. Add that to Magnus' skills and you have an all round team that can deal with anything.
