Which trio are you rocking as your mains? Who are the biggest losers?

I've been playing that way as well. It keeps me prepared if my favorite people end up dead in a mission I'm always able to play as whoever is available. I'm also frequently surprised at just how good some people are. Like I had no intention of using Machina that much, but I completely blew on the last mission and everyone died and he was all that was left. But his swords doing their drill attacks devastated the boss whenever I caught him. So thankfully I was left with someone powerful and not something like Deuce lol Just dancing around playing a flute that summons a fairy or something that does 50'ish damage randomly whenever it manages to catch an enemy..

Edit: There's that thing I abuse in random encounters that more enemies are nearby and it asks if you want to keep fighting. I usually get quite a few of those in a row and fight 4 or 5 groups before moving on. Gets you lots more stuff when you start fighting higher level enemies in those groups

Queen is a mother smurfing monster once you start getting the hang of Divine Judgement. Only one of her abilities I needed, pared with Thunder SHG and some Magic boosting Accessories. Every other character was my B Team.

King and Trey could mow dudes down quick too, ranged is freaking brutal in this game.

And Jack took some time, but he's easily my favorite dude to just get up close and personal with. He murders things so damn fast. <3

Rem, Machina and Ace. =)

There are too many of the smurfers!

Machina is taking point for me at the minute though as he's just awesome. He is backed up by Ace and Sice. My main reserves are Eight, King and Rem. I'll definitely bring Deuce into the fray more after what's been posted.

Cinque is my least favourite so far. I know the mace is powerful but I just don't like it as a weapon. She moves with all the speed and fluidity of a jockey swinging a lamppost.

I understand the thinking behind levelling everyone equally but smurf that, it'll take forever. "We're all the same level and we're all decidedly average... and there was much rejoicing... yey"

Queen is my girl. She is so nimble and Divine Judgement is an easy damage + cure. My other two are Seven and Machina, but I'm wondering if I should substitute a ranged fighter in there. I'm still trying to figure out my backups but I currently go to Nine, King, and Sice. King can really do some damage to enemies with only close-up attacks. I've also found Cater and Eight useful on occasion.

[Aulayna]

I pretty much stuck with my initial line-up through 3 playthroughs lol

Rem, Ace, Cater are the A Team.

Queen, King, Deuce are the B Team.

Seven occassionally gets switched in for Queen or Deuce.

My most unused characters, who are now 20-30 levels behind everyone else, are Jack, Nine and Machina.

You really, really should. My main trio was Eight - Ace - Rem. Eight was my main and I'd switch to Ace if I needed range, but King was my back up main and he is a death machine and a godsend when range was needed. Always use a ranged character on the RTS world map battle minigame.

My favorites to use are Seven, Nine & Sice. Though I like to give everyone their day in the sun, and I don't use all three of them at once.

There's a lot of hate going around for Jack, presumably because he tiptoes when his weapon is drawn. The trick I've found for Jack is to use dodging as your form of movement and he gets along real well. Talk about a power house.

I can't say that I dislike using any of them, though nine times out of ten I'll use Trey and King for my long range over Cater. Does anyone else noticed there's an annoying noise coming from her gun when she walks, or is it just something I have equipped on her?

edit: Having gone further in the game, I've come to enjoy using Cater just as much as any other long range cadet. She has great shooting and running speed.

[Vermachtnis]

Cater, Cinque, and Queen is my favorite team so far.

Cater is really fun to use. Poison and debuff is a mean combination. Plus she just oozes energy.
Cinque, I can't play as her, but she's my number two ever since she stepped infront of a rocket for me and smack the crap out of the guy when I only had like 2HP. I don't know what it is, but she seems to actively run in front of hits. Which I'm perfectly fine with, I just bump up her HP and Defense and give her moves with no flinch and hide behind her.
Queen, poor poor Queen, having to babysit the hyper one and the weird one. She's in charge of making sure we don't die and by we I mean Cinque because of the whole chasing bullets like they were butterflies thing.

[LunarWeaver]

Ace, Rem, and anybody who isn't Jack or Deuce.

[Zelfina Ai'ada]

I'm pretty much enjoying all the characters so far, but I've mainly been using Queen, Rem, and Cinque. I am progressively becoming guilty of neglecting other characters due to these three!

Yeah, Queen is my new favourite. She is way ahead of the others in terms of level and is so bad ass that I can't stop using her!

[Galuf]

i got the game yestereday. im only on chapter 2 but my 3 mains i use the most is
nine cos dragoons are awesome.
machina idk why
and i like having queen as she is good fighter and healer i think.

eight is also very good so he comes in sometimes.

i cant believe they screwed up the samurai class by making Jack move slower than the snail class
