Who're the best/worst party memebers?

Riki and Dunbar are great. Melia’s Summon Copy is broken. Sharla is easily shelved.

All you need is Reyn. Shulk's only good because Monado. Third spot you can fill with whoever. If your party doesn't have Reyn, he isn't playable at the time or you're doing it wrong.

Best:Riki or Dunban
Worst:Sharla or Melia

I'm kind of hesitant to bench Sharla since she's the healer

They're all great except for Sharla. Sharla is just the worst.

You don't need healing if you kill everything fast enough.
Which sounds like shitposting but is legitimately the best strategy once you get Riki/Dunban and start getting good gems

You won't need a healer is all the enemies are focused on an unhittable man.

Aside from some player control builds, Sharla's dps is so poor you're better off using either another member either for the dps or for the topplelocking, and with the topplelocking your other sources of healing would be enough.

>Worst:Melia

Riki and Shulk heals enough, and they do dmg and debuffs as well, but hey, I did not kill any "superbosses" so i might be talking shit

I mean, that depends. Melia and Shulk are the best in the game, but only if you're controlling them. Otherwise, they're the worst. Sharla is pretty shit just because you don't really need a dedicated healer in this game after a certain point. Though head shot and her anti-debuff shit is pretty handy whenever she feels like using them. Dunban is great whether you're playing as him or not, and Riki and Fiora are also competent. A shame you can't really effectively have both Shulk and Melia in the same party.

riki is cool as a character but he's overrated and honestly the weakest party member after sharla. Colony 9 bros (Shulk/Reyn/Dunban) is the best for big damage numbers and Melia is obscenely broken under player control but shit as an AI.

Riki is absolutely bunkers in chain attack due to his damage over time. and happy happy and yoink are also fucking busted. Riki is fucking good, no if's or buts.

Basically everyone but Sharla can make a solid party.
If you have Melia, play as her because the AI sucks, but she's amazing once you understand how busted DoTs can be.

Shulk, Reyn, Dunban and Seven combined in pretty much any way can make for a party which can beat any superboss.
Melia is basically broken if you spec and play her right, she will melt superbosses in mere seconds through DoTs alone, she's absolutely ridiculous.
I never really felt the need for Riki though I'm certain he can be made to work well. Sharla saved my ass quite a lot earlier in the game but in the later parts she basically isn't required and deals much less damage than pretty much any other character. I played the end-game by controlling Melia and having Shulk and Seven in the party.

the game's like a decade old bro, you don't have to say seven anymore

all good except sharla

How is Peko enjoying Xenoblade?

Jokes on you, I still use Seven and even bird

I rolled endgame with Shulk Melia Riki

Dunban is also good, I shelved Reyn and Sharla pretty quickly and I had a good thing going before I got seven so I never bothered to grind her

>tfw Melia, Fiora, Riki
Ahem, FUCK ACCURACY AND FUCK LEVEL BONUSES.
I am aware high level enemies can still block ether attacks but it's much better than physical accuracy, plus they do ignore agility difference

I'm in a minority that dropped Sharla ASAP, but actually had to put her back in for the endboss after my fancy raw damage build couldn't out dodge it. I can believe that she doesn't measure up to optimised postgame builds, but throwing heals at Reyn nonstop isn't the worst way to win.

>Colony 9 bros (Shulk/Reyn/Dunban)
Finished 90% of the game with this party.

They don't know.

Yeah riki is decent for the story playthrough since with him in the party the fight become braindead. But late game colony bros plow through everything

Why don't you tell us whatever it is you think you know about Sharla that everyone else doesn't after 10 years.

Shulk Melia Sharla

Best are Dunban for broken tank/DPS, Shulk for Monado arts being OP, Fiora for bullshit DPS. Melia is extremely good too especially with Sharla and Riki if you want an Ether damage focused team.
The worst is hard to say, but Reyn gets heavily outclassed by Dunban in terms of tanking and DPS and Sharla is basically a crutch character for newbies.

Reyn might not be the best in those things, but his topple and daze have really low cooldowns.

Melia was pretty dumb under AI control in the Wii version. I don't know if they fixed that.
Sharla is the only one I'd say is actually bad though. She's a newbie trap and you very rarely actually need her healing unless you're doing some gimmick shit.
