Octopath Traveler - Form Your Perfect Party!

Octopath Traveler Help With The Perfect Party Setup
Need help with determining which party members to use in your party? I'm going through my personal party picks for my playthrough of Octopath Traveler.

[@en0mad777]

I just started Octopath Traveler and I am really enjoying this game. Thank you for the help in this video as well as the comments in here. I love all the characters though! :)

[@skins4thewin]

I mean let's be honest, Primrose is the most throwaway character in the game. There isn't much she can do that can't be substituted with someone else. That & the fact that Debuffs are actually better than buffs in this game, and due to the way some of the better passive skills work, the buffs end up being redundant & useless. Alfyn on the other hand is probably one of the if not the best character as Concoct is just busted, no getting around it, AND his stats are just great. You'd think he'd have some weaknesses considering how strong he is in other areas but nope, he's just a beast in just about all areas, and you can honestly use him for SO many different roles with that Concoct ability. Cheap items allow you to do all sorts of effects, elemental attacks, healing, etc., plus his physical prowess is awesome. Dude is legit one of the best all rounders & should always be in the party.

[@PuppyGems]

i loved this vid. really helped explain the characters roles in a team better. Didn't know much about the hero i picked when i started. Seeing Tressa as a support character makes team building more understandable. i love every class and hero in this game. Cant wait for part 2 :)

[@rextyrrano5183]

My main team is H'aanit the physical attacker, Cyrus the elemental attacker, Olberic the tank and Ophelia the support.

[@luxator5675]

I have the same team but I use H'aanit like a support with the beasts and Leghold trap + Empoison Combo with apothecary second job

[@arturoescorcia]

Same party but I traded Olberic for Therion. Haanit and Therion take care of the physical damage, Cyrus does elemental damage and Ophelia is such a potent healer

[@bdel80]

I gave Ophilia the second job as the Scholar. She's my main, so already high HP and SP. Pair her up with Therion to feed her mana and use the merchant to feed her BP. It's awsome.

[@love2lovesum1]

That’s my main party as well! Love those 4 the most!!

[@guanyu210379]

Haanit (later Thief), Ophilia (later Dancer), Cyrus (later Merchant) and Olberic (later Apothecary) or Therion (later Hunter), Tessa (later Scholar), Primrose (later Cleric) and Alfyn (later Warrior) You have a ballanced team in the beginning and have all 8 jobs within 1 team in late game.

[@TimmyTam]

Therion, Cyrus, Tressa and Ophilia. Therion's divine skill does over 10000 on all enemies, 20000 when broken. It's insane. Also, he's self-sustaining. Cyrus (as sorcerer) is just my elemental breaker and beast for damage Tressa because self healing and sidestep (especially with runelord, giving everyone sidestep) Ophilia because... Dat heal.

[@baf8189]

Fedora Gamer why Not Ohphilia AS Sorcerer and Healer instead of Cyrus.....

[@TimmyTam]

Ophilia is my Starseeer (idk if spelled correctly), so I use her as a pure support.

[@robertohalloran7743]

Fedora Gamer my best build is tressa-dancer Ophelia-merchant alfyn-thief and Theron-warlord. The room is op with his divine skill, buff attack and speed, rebuff their physical defense and in doing as much as you, my party’s built just to support him haha

[@hydrastuff8029]

Alfyn is a great healer, and the way I have him makes him kinda inmortal

[@skins4thewin]

Ophilia becomes redundant when you become THAT powerful in the endgame. You really won't even need her healing anymore at that point, specially w things like Tressa Sidestep & such.

[@pokechatter]

This is good balancing information, as I'd constantly changed my team out during the main story chapters, and am at a bit of a loss with who to go into the finale with.

[@skins4thewin]

Late game Tressa w Transfer Rune opens up all sorts of insane possibilities!

[@nebelkatze3141]

[@ZeroTvStudios]

i just startet the game and i already have Therion, Haanit and Cyrus in my team, i like all of them but im struggling with my 4rd party member maybe Ophilia?

[@killingkota]

I mainly run Therion-Scholar, Cyrus-Sorcerer, Ophilia-Apothecary, H'aanit-Warrior. It works very well and I beat most bosses first run through.

[@marcellocalbesi]

Great video as the usual

[@kyle7447]

Great video, I've been hoping someone would make a video just like this.

[@WishfulGamer]

Awesome! Thanks for your support and welcome to the channel. Glad you’ve found the content useful.

[@luckychinowow]

I started the Game as Therion, then my team is Therion, Olbreric, and Cyrus. I change the last one up based on what story I need to complete. I like Therion/Cleric for fast healing and SP stealing. Cyrus/Dancer for Magic attack buffing and Dark Magic addition. Olberic/Thief for Hp stealing. The last I switch here and there and don’t really use as a hard spot in my team como.

[@martinchanias]

Hanit my main, and then Alfyn, Tressa are a must party. Left one slot you can choose according to enemy weaknesses. Alfyn is so underrated, he is the strongest as overall character. High HP, high heal effect, and there is his unique concuct. Everywhere i go, Alfyn always in my team. Loving this game, can't put down my Switch now :)

[@Diados0]

I liked using Primrose/Cyrus/Ophelia/Therion. Having two summons to help with the extra break is amazing. On top of all the support from Ophelia/Therion/Primrose its quite the party. Right now I have Primrose with Apothecary(Main HP/Def tank), Therion with Warmaster/Hunter(Evasion tank is best). Ophelia with Sorc, and Cyrus with Cleric. Can never have too many healing options am I right? :D

[@raeesali9780]

I chose Cyrus to start cause I've always loved the Mage style in all jrpg's and my main team started out as Cyrus, therion, h'aanit and Alfyn. I soon replaced alfyn with olberic as I always over level myself so I didn't need the healing and wanted the damage. After sub jobs, my team is now Cyrus as a scholar/cleric, H'aanit as a hunter/warrior, therion as a thief/dancer and olberic as a warrior/apothecary. From time to time I like to swap olberic out with alfyn as an apothecary/merchant. If anyone has any suggestions for me to upgrade I'd be really grateful for any advice you can give me :)

[@zanelassiter6511]

So far I think my party is kinda weird but it's been working pretty well for me. Primrose - secondary hunter Alfyn - secondary cleric Therion - secondary warrior Cyrus - secondary merchant My reasoning behind this was that Alfyn would be my general healer and debuff cure along with being fairly tanky. Primrose was already supportive because of the dancer class so I added hunter for the good breaking of arrowstorm along with the critical and accuracy buff. Weirdly I turned Therion into a pretty good tank with his natural hp and sp sustain along with warrior buffs and the warrior class offers some good aoe physical damage. Cyrus is my main damage source with his huge elemental attacks and giving him merchant allowed him access to another element along with some extra utility. I'm only about 25 hours in and my characters are around level 30 so there's probably a lot for me to learn and improve but this has been working pretty well for me.

[@luisarenee9803]

I use Cyrus, Ophelia, Ha’anit, and Primrose. Ophelia heals really well plus she’s got light magic. Cyrus has powerful elemental attacks, Ha’anit has just the most op abilities so that’s an obvious one, and Primrose’s buffs and dark magic basically just boost all of this.

[@Flareboxx]

My main team is: Cyrus, Ophilia, H'aanit, and Therion. 2 elemental attackers, and 2 physical attackers which encompasses 2 buff characters, and 1 healing. I really like Olbreric and Primrose as well, so they head up my secondary team. Alfyn and Tressa are definitely my least favorite, since they're kinda in the middle of the pack. They don't have super strong elemental, or physical attack. Alfyn's concoct is nice, but I find myself wanting to save all of the ingredients for boss battles.

[@clutchracing2624]

Flareboxx I could not have written this better myself. I feel the exact same way with the same set up. 45 hrs in so far. Nice choice bro

[@ArcadiaNeo]

Flareboxx I also chose Cyrus, Ophilia, H'aanit, and Therion as my main group, but haven't figured out what secondary jobs to have on them since I'm not too sure on what they are best at. What did you choose for their secondary jobs?

[@Flareboxx]

Glad to see you both agree! I made Cyrus a Merchant, Ophilia a Dancer, H'aanit a Warrior, and Therion an Apothecary. That way my 2 elemental attackers (Cyrus and Ophilia) have access to every elemental attack. This also grants Ophilia additional buff skills, Therion can utlilize additional supportive skills (healing and rehabilitation) as well as axe skills; and H'aanit gains more strength and access to a wider range of weapons. This let me encompass all 8 classes within my main team and further enhance their current strengths. Let me know what you end up choosing for yours!

[@FamousMrChair]

tressa doesn't have strong physical attack?!? just spam veteran soldiers xD my team is Cyrus as sorcerer, Tressa as Starseer, Olberic as Warmaster, and Therion as Runelord. I just have therion for opening chests in dungeons and support, cyrus breaks the shields, tressa is a support, and olberic is my tank/ damage dealer. Winnefield's battle cry + fortitude + bp eater + battle tested sword +summon strength = instant ko for most bosses xD

[@minarc3682]

Exactly the same!

[@Bdog4114]

Hannit, Cyrus, Ophillia and then the fourth switches between all the others. Teresa when I need to collect, Primose to grind with bewelder, Olbreric when it's his chapter and Therion when I want to steal stuff and change it up

[@oli._.var0]

My team from the begging was Alfyn, Therion, Ophilia, Cyrus and they work so perfect togehter, that its kinda sad to switch them out sometimes. It might seem a bit odd to put ophilia in here, but her passive ability and reflect spell are very useful. Also she can take over healing so Alfyn can do some hits

[@fabiodelaroca1665]

I would’ve liked to know this when I started the game

[@daddyzuko4937]

That’s funny I haven’t seen my combination yet. I have therion (cleric), primrose(starseer), h’aanit(warmaster), and Cyrus(sorcerer)

[@obamaorb7426]

Cyrus, Ophilia, Olberic and Tressa Any good? Should I drop Olberic for someone like alfyn? He seems better suited for my mostly magic team as a tank with high damage who can debuff and remove debuffs. (Also concort is amazing)

[@jish55]

My main is: Cyrus (started off as him and he's the beast of my party), Tressa, Primrose, and H'aanit.

[@mirro1270]

Honestly i played Therion for (kinda) free items with steal and big dmg with his devine skill and debuffs Alfyn with warrior so he could tank more and get low so i could abuse the hell out of last stand Primrose with scholar for hard elemental dmg and buffs And ha'nit for leghold trap and bombing with arrow rain and beasts

[@evilducklings9279]

My team is: Cyrus, Therion, Ophilia, and Olberic. Cyrus for elemental damage put as a cleric for them light magic and heals. Therion provides a decent stream of sp to party and makes it so bosses don’t one shot me, he’s also a merchant which gives him bp sharing and wind magic. Ophilia who is the healer and dancer to provide all the buffs and dark magic. And finally Olberic who is the tank and physical attacker when needed he is also a hunter to round out all the weapons. With this party I can get Cyrus with peacock, alephan, and Alferic pull out the magic the enemy is weak against and they die. Also Olberics’ divine skill is pretty good too.

[@gerardorojas8105]

My main team is consistently Therion (starter) thief/warrior is basically a priority heavy hitter who can avoid a bunch of attacks, which paired with incite makes for an easy battle. Ophelia is my cleric/starseer, who while is great at healing and buffing, specifically starsong on Therion to make Aeber's reckoning stronger, she has high magic damage for shooting star. Cyrus as a scholar/sorcerer since he's amazing at dealing damage. The last character I change constantly, usually between primrose for her buffs and h'aanit for her physical prowess and summon beast ability.

[@victorbmtts]

Can someone help me? I started with H'aanit and I'm having trouble to complete second chapter even I been lvl 30 Dunno witch team should I pick also secundary jobs.

[@joshrivaca1377]

For the fight against Miguel I tried to experiment with 2 scholar/merchants for the constant donate bp and elemental attacks to wear down the shields and I had prim and alyfn playing healers and buff debuff. Just a thought for a tesm

[@SparkyyyDFLT]

I have Therion, Alfyn, Ophilia, and Cyrus. I have Therion as Runemaster because sp costs don't matter to him, Alfyn as Warmaster because why not, Ophilia as Starseer because the high sp moves are nothing compared to her pool, and Cyrus as a wizard because it's his best looking secondary-job outfit. Not even joking that's why he's a wizard.

[@lewisjrl5859]

Team is Therion, Alfyn, primrose and olberic. I tend to really enjoy and go ham with all the different buffs, de-buffs and ailments which ends up stacking some real good damage. Not sure if it’s an amazing strategy but i attack in bursts, i get the boss down to 1 away from break then i stack buffs and debuffs on literally everything, break and then just go crazy, full BP all in one big rush attack. Kinda like in persona lol. End up getting an entire stage of the bosses health and more every single time, so it takes usually around 3 or such rushes to finish it up. Ik there is probably some better way but honestly this tactic is what I’ve been working with since the start and it does wonders for me and my team.

[@myfriendkirby]

My main team is Sorcerer Cyrus, Runelord Tressa, Warmaster Therion, and Cleric Alfyn. My second team is Apothecary Obleric, Starseer Primrose, Merchant H’aanit, and Scholar Ophilia. This was the team I used to defeat Galdera, where my characters were all around level 70.

[@LihoShammy]

I picked up this game recently, and while I don't dedicate myself to one static team (I try to keep everybody evenly leveled and progressed) I do always keep Apothecary Olberic and Cleric Cyrus with me. Olberic is simply an unstoppable beast at this point, sporting a 10 level lead over everybody else, double the amount of HP, the second highest damage output of any character and the ability to almost fully heal all other characters with First Aid. Meanwhile Cyrus has the amazing elemental coverage that Olberic lacks and the highest damage output of all of my characters, while also being able to scout out all enemy weaknesses and easily heal as well as Ophilia. Not to mention that Holy Light and Luminescence seem to be scaling *very* well with Elemental Damage...

[@PuppyGems]

Hi. I’m trying to look for a very simple team to use. I have unlocked all the sub classes and looking to beat everyone’s story. Not good with a lot of mechanics like bp or sp. but I enjoy classic holy trinity like warriors,mage and clerics:) any advice? Thank you

Just got the game last week. Wish I got it sooner. At chapter 3 now with all characters. Tressa - Scholar Olberic - Either thief or apothecary Cyrus - Cleric or Dancer And the 4th is whomever chapter I'm doing. Subbed for a healer class assuming it's not Alfyn, because they're underleveled and won't be dealing damage anyways. But man, Alfyn's Concoct action is pretty OP. As in breaking elemental weaknesses on bosses. Can't wait to indulge on the advanced classes. Probably sometime after chapter 3.

[@Dinobolt1]

I got this, Octopath Traveler II and other Switch games for my birthday and it's the best one of them I've played so far. I just started on H'aanit's first chapter this morning and she's backed up by the other female characters since I started with Primrose. They feel like a good party especially since I found the shrines for the Scholar and Hunter classes to boost Primrose and Ophilia's abilities respectively.

[@d-swagg9683]

Yeah I started with Therion and he's my boss slayer/evaision tank. Those single target attacks can get seriously up there in damage and im only on his ch2. Ophilia as healer and support aoe, hannit as versitile damage, and cyrus as main aoe damage, I feel like I got the dream team. Tho I am a bit worried my 2nd play through with the remaining 4 might be a bit support heavy. Which was why I was gonna go with mirror 2nd jobs. Therion/Teresa, olberon/hannit (cuz I also have hannit as somewhat of a backup tank role), the apotheary/ophelia, and the dancer/Cyrus. Aoe would be a bit more spread out on the 2nd playthrough I guess.

[@myst1741]

Primrose, Therion, Alfyn, Other Prim mainly lived as a Dark Mage and Buffer Therion was my Debuffer and Secondary DPS Alfyn was my primary healer(though i did swap out Ophilia as my healer for parts) his early SP management made my life easier to boot. and my last slot was generally filled with whoevers quest i was doing at the time. And now i'm into post game and..... My party really hasn't changed. XD how i use them hasthough I still main Prim, Therion and Alfyn. this was largely inspired by how much i like them AS characters as well as their usefulness in battle. Prim has become my Mage, Therion my primary DPS. and Alfyn has remained my healer, though he heals as a Runelord xD

[@jordansanders9623]

mt partt is cryus ,ophilia,tressa,and therion i love these guys

[@paranira6466]

I have Cyrus as Starseer (so he has every element and is supportive), Tressa as runelord (Transferrune and sidestep are op together), as damage dealer Olberic as warmaster or Ophilia as Sorcerer (seh’s an elementar charakter and Makes a lot of damage and healing) and One of the other characters (Alfyn as Cleric, Therion as Apothecary, H‘aanit as Dancer, Primrose as Thief)

[@maximpaef8574]

Alfyn my boiiii My Team: > Alfyn (Main) - Warrior > Cyrus - Merchant/Cleric (i cant choose >. Tressa - Thief > Primrose - Scoolar (i think)

[@SJrad]

So I started out as therion. And tbh I wasted a lot of the nuts too early. Currently I have it at therion with hunter as a fast physical attacker Cyrus w/ sorcerer as fast elemental attacker, olberec w/ apothecary or sometimes hunter as physical tank tanking a lot of physical damage and dealing a lot of physical damage , and ophilia on dancer or scholar as the support and elemental tank. Debating replacing therion with haanit and have her on warrior. Going back to the nuts I probably should’ve waited to use my attack nuts on haanit instead of therion because even if she is at the same level as him his attack stat would be higher. Also yes I have finished therion’s story so I can take him out of my party now.

[@lincolncampbell2465]

My main party is Ophilia, Cyrus, Tressa, and H'annit, subclassed as dancer, apothecary, thief, and warrior respectively. You've really sold me on Alfyn though, will have to start a run with him on my next playthrough (as I picked Ophilia first and can't swap her out).

[@joshuanosko7481]

This is the team I kinda fell in love playing with. Oberic-Warmaster Ophelia-Sorcerer Tressa-Runelord Alfyn-have yet to settle on a secondary job I just passed my 80th hour playing and there is still so much to do! I'm really enjoying this game!

[@christiangrugios1339]

My build is Tressa (Starter), Cyrus (Second Character), H'aanit (Third Character), Alfyn (Fourth Character). Im still early game but i hope to make Tressa a theif, Cyrus a healer, Alfyn a tank, and H'aanit as a second tank if thats an option.

[@JaceOKami]

seeing standard jobs coming pretty early in the game, considering them for your setup is not a bad idea. advanced jobs are more late/endgame oriented. with that said, i run the following: H'aanit (Hunter/Scholar) - with her beasts and elemental attacks, she actually makes for a very potent hybrid attacker and is very much able to be the solo carry if need be. Alfyn (Apothecary/Cleric) - Concoct is just too good, give him AoE heals on top and your party won't ever die. BP spam is honestly all he needs to do. Therion (Thief/Merchant) - Sounds weird, but does work. Honestly, I only take him with me so I can open purple treasure chests. Merchant gives me wind element and Collect for extra money. Also, Share SP + Rest is a great skill combo. Might swap for Tressa with Thief secondary later tho. Primrose (Dancer/Apothecary) - ye, no Warrior class, i just don't like it. Prim is here to close all left open gaps of my team: last path action, Dark element access and damage boosting buffs. Apotecary is mainly to have a second Status blocker so things don't go out of hand that quickly when enemies literally s*** poison/sleep/etc.

[@Rex13013]

JaceHusky You use the same party I use, I personally started with H'annit and she was a warrior (now a warmaster), Your Alfyn and Therion are the same as mine (still are) concoct is awesome and even better if you use the cleric divine skill on him, making the stronger single target affect all, healing the max to all and or giving 4 bp to all in 1 turn. Primrose (my second favorite after H'annit) she was a scholar for a long time (now a sorceress)

[@Steven-bt3xh]

I wanted to have all the classes in my team, all 8 characters can self heal too so it's great. My team is : Therion/hunter Ophilia/warior Primrose/apothicary Cyrus/Marchant * H'aanit/dancer class because of the skin.....i mean it's the best she looks like a Valkyrie 😍

[@teemingwithasininitea]

Therion for steal/share SP and the debuffs (currently have him as a dancer so he can buff too) Tressa for donate BP (and because runelord makes her severely OP with transfer rune + sidestep) Alfyn for healing and because poison is always fun and Cyrus because it’s so easy to build him into an ELEMENTAL NUKE >:3 and he can be self-sufficient as a thief with the steal SP ability (i do sometimes swap Cyrus with H’aanit since beast lore makes her very helpful)

[@bengeenen9024]

well the main team i had created was Cyrus as leading character with his primary job as scholar and first secondary job as merchant for swapping between the midtier fire ice and lightning magic or wind magic that he gets from his primary job and secondary job. but I then swapped his secondary job to the secret job as Archmagus for the high tier magics because he then gets access to all elements and strikes thrice and I am planning to start him also on the hidden job of Starseer for the support skills. Then for main team healer I got ophelia with first her primary job as cleric and normal second job as dancer for the dual light/darkness healer and supporter and then further her powers with the hidden job of Starseer for the regeneration skills and the support skills that come with it. then my main team juggernaut or physical attacker is Haanit. I first placed her in this team with her job as hunter for hunting elemental creatures and healers with her first secondary job as a warrior for more weapon options and later in the game to the hidden secondary job of warmaster so she would have full access to all weapons and combined with her speed and job support abilities make her a speedy yet deadly force. then for the fourth slot I took thressa because she is just a jack of all trades with her primary job as a merchant for early money gathering and benefits with the cleric as her second job because she can self restore HP and Mp points. With her secondary job now changed to Runelord she is now a Elemental augmentation and special operative with her skills.

[@metalsteel5631]

cyrus is outclassed once you get the secret classes, because one of them is just like cyrus except stronger, and so theres no point to put it on cyrus because it'd be wasted. And then tressa though, with the right secret class....HOLY SHIT. She is the best match for one of those secret classes because it can make her 100% dodge become party wide, damn awesome for the heavy hitting bosses, and the bonus is that she is also pretty tanky.

[@Rex13013]

Metal Steel That's what I keep saying ever since people starting saying sorcerer Cyrus' the best, he's just relying on that class, rendering the scholar one useless. I personally use it on Primrose, and she is as strong or stronger than Cyrus.

[@favsmmk]

Metal Steel I don’t get this line of logic. How is it wasted? Sorcerer essentially upgrades Cyrus and allows him to do what he’s been doing the entire game better, using high damage multi hit magic. Think of it like this scholar starts off with Fireball and Icewind would you say that getting Fire storm and Blizzard is a waste because then you’d never need to use Fireball and Icewind again?

[@Rex13013]

Melanie R To answer your last question no, not really. I wouldn't really say that getting blizzard and fire storm is waste but this is different, while I don't think he becomes useless or anything, he still does great damage, but he doesn't get anything useful from the scholar class. The spells you get from the sorcerer are far better so why use the weaker ones (other than to save sp) and analyze isn't as useful into the late game and even less if you got the sorcerer and warmaster, so you're left with just a damage dealer, and that's fine if that's what you're looking for, but for me I like the 2 classes I have on a character to work each other, help one another or bring something more. But that's my opinion it's ok if you still don't agree, but this is why I feel this way.

[@favsmmk]

Gps1337 my question at the end of my comment was more Rhetorical than anything, of course you would use Firestorm and Blizzard. My point is that Cyrus spends the entire game before getting sorcerer casting constant magic to break the enemy with an occasional Analyze and then boosting that magic to do massive damage. Doing anything else like buffing or healing is time spent not doing damage which is rarely worth it. So sorcerer just allows him to do what he was already doing most of the game even better, I just don’t see how not needing to use his base skills is a bad thing. Also Cyrus does have a bit of synergy with sorcerer in that he can cast Alephan’s Enlightenment on himself. But in the end it is just a preference thing.

[@CrimsonStigmata]

Not true. Cryus as a Sorcerer is an upgrade from Scholar. Instead of two AoE elemental hits it’s three and the offensive subjob traits from Sorcerer is better than Scholar. Plus he looks the best as Sorcerer. XD You get study foe with Cryus and analyze from Scholar as well as decreased encounter rate with Scholar subjob trait.

I have yet to complete the game but I made a physical oriented team and just kinda... cheesed most of the chapters by having warrior/hunter, hunter/warrior, thief/merchant, healer/thief... It’s honestly not great but it had a fun mix of moves like the steal SP, Share SP then spam aoe moves. But yeah... it’s not great... but if you just wanna run in and clobber everyone...

[@Kuulpb]

I believe my party is/will be ( t the end) Cyrus (start), Olberic, Alfyn and Tressa. Edit: Basically - Olberic Damage, Alfyn Main healer, Tressa "Can be anything" and Cyrus because I am SO indecisive and can never decide anything so I'm sticking with 1 character I know I will end up using because detective.

[@MalachiLper]

A party I've been using in my last playthrough was... Therion - Hunter (Debuff master) Ophilia - Dancer (Support queen) Olberic - Apothecary (Biggest HP improvements and gets self healing abilities for duels) Cyrus - Merchant (All common magic elements) - Tressa - Thief (Steals money and items, and gets a passive to get x2 loot) Primrose - Cleric (Support queen) H'aanit - Warrior (Physical master) Alfyn - Scholar (This was the last job)

[@smoshyv2553]

My main party is Tressa - Thief Olberic - Hunter Ophilia - Dancer Cyrus - Apothecary I'm only at around level 40 for everyone right now, and this set up seems to work the best.

[@craigw4967]

I was thinking the same, thats my starting party , im only level 15 or so. Is that party still holding up ?

[@PhazonSpear]

Laughs in Daughter of the Dark God.

[@snailicornguy6373]

I use H’aanit as an apothecary, Ophilia as a thief, Primrose as a merchant-for the bp, and Tressa as a scholar because her sp usage is halved.

[@klauserji]

Cyrus is the only, ONLY, party member that i think can't be replaced. On my 40+hrs playing, mostly im just running grinding bus with him one hitting (merchant 2nd job) with endless sp.

[@Chokoboh]

Started with Therion, picked up H'aanit and Ophilia, ignored Cyrus and got Tressa instead. Therion Sorcerer, H'aanit Warmaster, Ophilia Starseer and Tressa Runelord. Works pretty perfectly, unless i need to gather information from an NPC, then i have to switch to Cyrus or Alfyn.

[@solidsnake2259]

All girls party

[@nicolasgiard1828]

On my side my team is: Alfyn the Warmaster Tressa the Runelord Therion the Sorcerer Ophelia the Scholar / Primrose the Scholar (Depend situation)

[@xenonim]

Well my is girly team. Hannit Theressa Primose Ophilia In this line up Thressa and Primrose is very important. If both combine give buff to either Hannit it deliver devasting damage. Thressa bp support, Primrose either physical or elemental support, Ophlia mix attacker and support and Hannit pure offensive power house.

[@rubenjannis4725]

I just defeated 3 chapter 2 bosses(omar, the blood wizard guy from cyrus' chapter and the schollar who has one of the dragon gemstones) and im thinking my main team is gonna be therion-apothocary Haanit-warrior Ophillia-dancer Tressa-schollar Haanit is gonna be my main physical atacker and tank. Therion is gonna debuff and occasionaly heal and remove debuffs from party member sand has pretty decent attack and speed kinda like a jack-of all traits Ophillia is gonna heal and buff my team and also has acces to light and dark elemental attacks if needed. And tressa is has acces to all the elemental atacks (accept light and dark but ophillia already has that covered) so she can do all the elemental damage and sometimes do other stuff. Any differences i should make or is this team ok?

[@TimmyTam]

I think you'll live for most of this game with this setup.

[@rubenjannis4725]

Bluwizerd boi supposed to be jack-of all traits sorry i misspelled it

[@Flareboxx]

Did you upload another part of this video and then delete it? Just making sure I'm not going crazy lol.

[@WishfulGamer]

Not this one, but the Secondary jobs. The information was incorrect, need to re-do it.

[@Flareboxx]

Ah gotcha :)

[@alexshohet2162]

Who should I start with in general please don't say my choice lol, like who is the most useful character from start to finish?

[@WishfulGamer]

Alex Shohet kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXyTgY2cgJiSes0

[@alexshohet2162]

Wishful Thinking Channel I already watched that vid but it doesn’t narrow it down to the best

[@WishfulGamer]

Alex Shohet they all have their pros and cons, and every person’s play style is different so it’s hard to say. I like Cyrus and Alfyn.

[@brailleeulogy120]

Alex Shohet cryus or therion. Cyrus has the study talent so makes combat easier. Therion due to almost all dungeons have a chest he is needed. So having therion as a main means he is always available.

[@wintershiny4888]

Cyrus is completely overpowered compared to the others, and his ability to find a weakness is so useful.

[@skins4thewin]

Concoct is STUPIDLY broken in this game! The things he can do for next to zero cost like refilling everyone's BP is just insane. Best character in the game bar none!

[@williamcredle1906]

Cyrus/theif Ophelia/ dancer Olbeiric/ hunter Tressa/ apothecary All elemental covered all physical weapons covered Cyrus can use sp steal and share to keep him powers Ophelia buffs olberic and he uses incite to make an ultimate tank

[@henryb319]

I’m using Haanit, Tressa, Therion, and Alfyn

[@lufasumafalu5069]

i played OT to lv20 without knowing we can spend JP to add skills.. it is boring until i upgraded skills

[@SuperStatch]

Therion Rogue/Hunter/RuneLord for end game bosses. Cyrus/Sorcerer Primrose Starseer, Olbric Warmaster

[@silentkiller87]

Same team I am using

[@justaregulardude3195]

My main team was: Merchant Therion Cleric Afyn (lol kinda pointless but AOE healing or single healing in one character is useful) Hunter Primrose Scholar Olberic

[@klauserji]

Team CHOT (Cyrus, Haanit, Ophilia, Tressa), with advanced 2nd jobs just destroy the main campaign.

[@jameskellermanjaro741]

This is the first comment I’ve seen have the exact squad that I’m using as my “main” group. Definitely feel thatHaanit and Cyrus are the MVP’s. I’m only ~lvl25 - lvl30 atm.

[@DistressedCrab]

My usual party configuration is H'aanit (Warmaster), Cyrus (Sorcerer), Ophilia (Starseer), and Therion (Merchant)

[@W4RM4T]

Just pick this game up, how do we build our parties?

[@WishfulGamer]

matt jensen finish chapter one of any character

[@seppukujordan5183]

My favorite party is : Therion , Tressa, anyone, anyone :)

[@fashyakupercent20]

4 weeks ago and there is some guy who still playing it xD

[@TheWhipsnap]

I bought it 2 years ago...just started it this week...😬

[@dominoscr]

Team HACT H’aanit Alfyn Cyrus Therion

[@Megs-_-]

Chris Ragan that’s mine aswell

[@NellyPenellope]

Hey!! That's my team too!!

[@dkmow706]

Its just so gud

[@MintyMinster]

I wish I chose Alfyn as my main support in the early game cause he just has so much use.

[@matthewyancey2260]

Cyrus is my main. He is also just the main damage dealer. Olbric has a secondary class of apothecary giving him insane health. I use olbric to use incite so he takes all the damage. Then I have thereon with cleric second class. The spell reflect is mandatory for me on some boss fights. The heal is also important. Therion is the person so I always have someone to open purple chests. Primrose with merchant secondary gives her all sorts of utility. Donate BP is a go to along with all the many dances to give boosts.

[@Amplifymagic]

Matthew Yancey why not have your Primrose be full support and be a cleric/dancer while utilizing your accidental attacks as a merchant gold thief Thereon?

[@scottallen4569]

My core: Alfyn - apoth/war - Tank, god amongst mortals. Can survive every attack, break every element, heal, revive, dps, status infliction. He has it all. Therion - theif/merch or hunt - my support. Doesn't heal but he doesn't have to because alfyn. Debuffer, BP donor, patience + second serving allow him to lay on some serious break pressure and come in clutch with debuffs. Absolutely shreds with his divine skills Cyrus - schol/sorc - If Alfyns my god Cyrus is my god slayer. Absolute beast with elemental damage. Just blows up bosses. Breaks enemies easy. Using him to grind is very effective. The 4th is just on open spot, but its usually filled by either olberic or h'aanit, Oblerics divine skill + abide + armor corrosive from therion is stronger than cyrus's damage. Tends to miss tho

[@johnodaz1273]

Nice video bud. I started as the Thief, meet up with the Huntress and defeated that nasty Woodland Beast, so I am only a two person party at tho mo. The party team I would like too have overall, probably stick with the Thief and Huntress plus add Oberlic cuz he is strong, courageous n wise but I am struggling with who else I should pick tho.

[@TimmyTam]

Well, you don't really have a healer right now, so I'd say Ophilia or Alfyn. (Your choice, though, especially with subjobs)

[@johnodaz1273]

Thanks bud i will check them out n see which one i prefer :-).

[@TimmyTam]

Yeah, Cyrus is really good. For the most part, I had Cyrus as a scholar and cleric, so I could have Primrose instead of Ophilia for all the buffs, and still leave room for 2 strong attackers. Late game, I changed my team a lot, but that's like, 50 hours in.

[@johnodaz1273]

Bluwizerd boi ok thanks man I will look into them 👍.

[@johnodaz1273]

Fedora Gamer ok cool cool food for thought cheers bro.
