Playing with two characters

[raven614]

So I’ve been playing with only two characters and have only beat four scenarios so far on normal difficulty. Is two characters doable to beat the game? What is the sweet spot? Thanks for any response.

It's perfectly doable, but more sensitive to weaker party combinations.

Scenarios scale based on the number of characters. So you'd have to fight more enemies with 3 characters. 2 is fine.

Some characters, most notably Music Note and Triforce, are much weaker in a two-character party due to their mechanics playing heavily off of what other characters do. They do best in a four-character group, but a three-character group will generally be enough for them too.

2 is doable, but 3 is generally considered to be the sweet spot.

More support oriented characters tend to struggle more with 2 players, because they have to do more of the fighting themselves to survive.

Thanks for the replies. I’m gonna try my next scenario with my two leveled up characters and just add a new one.

I find also 3 the sweet spot.
2 is bad cause you usually lack combos, damage, and cant rest properly while stunning/disarming, etc. Also the AoE skills lack power, cause not enough enemies for many of them.

4 is nice, but a bit of a mental burn, too much for my tastes.

So yeah I think 3 is the sweet spot.


2 characters is nice if you for example play with some specific classes, like circles for example. But for many many other is just bad.

My friend and I beat the base TT version of the game with 2 characters. It's doable but you definitely feel the weakness of certain class combos.

2 characters is easier to manage than 3, but 3 is overall probably the best to go with. If you prefer not to micromanage 3 characters though you can play right through to the end with 2 characters.

The only scenario I will say you shouldn't play with 2 characters is Scenario 95, you need an INCREDIBLY tight 2 person party to be able to bear Scenario 95, but it's A LOT more manageable with 3 or 4.
