Team Line-ups (Chapter 10 and on)

[Rye]

Now that you actually get to choose your whole line-up and leader... who do you choose?

Sazh, Hope and Lightning is mine right now. Considering throwing Vanille in there, but Hope is more powerful. I love this line-up overall. I've not gotten to really develop my other paradigm classes up yet since I just started Chap 10, but it's good since Lightning is the powerhouse, Sazh is the really malleable one, and Hope is a pretty decent healer.

I feel like I should be using Snow because I keep getting this impression that he's a real great character, but I feel like putting him in there is really limiting in the meantime. He'd probably be a good replacement to Lightning once he gets more paradigm classes up to date, though.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

About time we had a thread like this!

My favourite team is Lightening, Fang and Hope. Light is a good balance between magic and physical, Fang is good for tank and physical, and then Hope is my ravaging king~

Paradigms (* indicates default):

Relentless Assault (Rav/Com/Rav)*
Delta Attack (Com/Sen/Rav)
Solidarity (Com/Sen/Med)
Combat Clinic (Med/Sen/Med)
Bully (Com/Sab/Syn)
Tireless Charge (Com/Com/Med)

Basically I get through all I need with this. I have the last one there since there are some enemies that magic is useless/near useless against.

Oh, good idea posting the paradigms. I have:

(PARADIGM)______Sazh/Hope/Lightning__________
Hero's Charge - Synergist/Medic/Commando (my start up)
Thaumaturgy - Raveger/Raveger/Medic
Tireless Charge - Comando/Medic/Commando
Supernatural - Synergist/Synergist/Ravager (I love this one)
Diversity - Ravager/Medic/Commando
Tri-disaster - Ravager/Ravager/Ravager

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Oh, I forgot the name for the 2 Commanders and a Medic! *goes edits his post*

Haven't had much of a chance so far to really get my head around favourites, but my most common teams are...

Lightning/Sahz/Vanille - for the Sahz/Vanille commentary and all-round goodness you get out of it.
Lightning/Snow/Vanille - for sentinel-required battles
Lightning/Hope/Vanille - mmm, magey goodness

So basically Lightning and Vanille are my favourites in the heat of the battle, mostly for Lightning's badass-ness and Vanille being nice to look at, although the (kind of odd sounding) Australian accent making her moans when she casts can get annoying. Sahz/Vanille are just great together, really. I love it when they fight together. As for my favourite Paradigms... well, I use a lot, here are the most common ones for three people, anyway!

Relentless Assault (COM/RAV/RAV) is easily the most commonly used one. Decimates most enemies just by the constant tapping of the X button.
Diversity (COM/RAV/MED) for when I need a quick heal.
Solidarity (COM/SEN/MED) and Combat Clinic (MED/SEN/MED) are the most common ones I use for emergency situations when facing enemies that require a Sentinel.
Tri-disastor (RAV/RAV/RAV) combined with Salvation (MED/MED/MED) provide awesome awesome quick destruction & quick healing.
Aggression (COM/COM/RAV) is something I'm using a little more often lately as it's great for keepin' big solo enemies up in the air.

Others tend to only really get used for boss battles, and that's when you have to get a little more tactical, so things such as All For One, Hero's Charge, Bully, Thaumaturgy and Dirty Fighting can come into play.

Right now I have Lightening, Sazh, and Vanille. I'm using Vanille instead of Hope because I want a saboteur, but I'm training Hope in the saboteur ways on the side so he'll replace Vanille soon.

My paradigms are:
Relentless Assault: Rav/Com/Rav
Aggression: Com/Com/Rav
Bully: Com/Syn/Sab
Evened Odds: Med/Syn/Sab
Perpetual Magic: Medic/Rav/Medic <~ When I use this you can bet I'm panicking.
Diversity: Com/Rav/Medic

I like to keep my most-used medic one on the bottom so that when I switch it's a simple matter of flicking the joystick up or down, and they're far apart so I can easily see that it went correctly out of my peripheral vision. I'm picky like that.

[Jings]

I'm using Light, Sazh and Vanille for everything so far. Got pretty much all bases covered with them, and if I really really need a SEN I'll replace Vanille with Snow.

I never actually thought of having two SYN's in the same paradigm setup, seems like it could be a good idea. I'll have to experiment with that. This may involve bringing Hope into the mix though, and god help me if I don't hate the whiny little bastard.

[Psychotic]

I'm yet one more number in the Lightning/Sazh/Vanille army. Although if I'm ever achin' for a Sentinel I will probably call Snow up.

[Raven Nox]

I use Hope/Lightning/Fang, my Paradigm set up is mostly the same as The Summoner of Leviathan's as well, though instead of Med/Med/Sen I have Med/Med/Com in there. Don't remember what that one is called. xD Anyway, it's a really nice balanced party, it gets me through it and it's fun to play. I was thinking of switching it up, but then I can't pick who to kick out and so I just keep it the same... xD

[Raistlin]

Lightning, Fang, and Hope. I thought about trying to work Sazh or Vanille in there, but those three are just too badass together. The only thing it's missing to start off is Rav/Rav/Rav.

I don't have my game in front of me, but I think my paradigms are:

Relentless Assault: Rav/Com/Rav
Diversity: Com/Rav/Medic
Aggression: Com/Com/Rav (Launch ftw)
Bully: Com/Syn/Sab
Combat Clinic: Med/Sen/Med
Evened Odds: Med/Syn/Sab

[Loony BoB]

Recently changed my starting paradigm from Bully (COM/SAB/SYN) to Decimation (COM/RAV/SYN) and it has paid off big time. SAB just didn't do enough against regular enemies for it to be worthwhile. As soon as I'm done with putting Haste on all three characters, I look to switch to another paradigm which differs depending on what I'm up against.

[Coronet]

Right now I'm using Fang, Lightning, and Snow. I'm in Chapter 11. I really like that Snow has protect/shell (none of my other medics do yet) and I like Fang for tanking/dishing damage. Lightning is a jack of all trades so I'm primarily using her as a caster/healer now.

I do really like Sahz though. I might alternate between these four.

[arcanedude34]

Partway through chapter 10 and I'm trying to use everyone equally. Tell me they start handing out more CP per battle soon so I don't have to grind for hours. Please?

[Shadowdust]

I'm currently using Lightning, Fang, and Vanille. I thought about using Hope, but Vanille's HP is significantly higher than Hope's right now. I mainly switch between Relentless, Ruthless, and Diversity paradigms.

[Siegurd]

Lightning, Fang, Vanille

Up until the end of chapter 11:
Lightning was exclusively ravager
Fang exclusively commando
Vanille Max medic / working Sab

End of chapter eleven actually forced me to use CP points, maxing out:
Lightning Ravager/Commando/medic = 4/4/3
Fang: Commando/Sentinel/Saboteur = 4/4/3
Vanille: Medic/Saboteur/Ravager = 4/4/3

I built my team entirely on causing staggers as much as possible, leveled Sentinel with Fang purely for strength/hp bonuses - Sentinel was something I never used until nearly the end of chapter 12.

Relentless Assault (rav/com/rav)- Staple
Diversity (rav/com/med)- Staple
Aggression (com,com, rav)- Staple
Med/Sab/Sab - Staple

Last two were rotated in / adjusted as needed.
