ITT: Useless party members

ITT: Useless party members

Not true

Carth, T3M8 and Zaalbaaar

Atton as a Jedi

...

Any party member is a useless party member.
I am a lone wolf.
I do not need anybody's help.
If you can't complete a game alone you do not deserve to play it.
Take the time to hone your skills and play the game without any party members, else you're a weakling and I will crush you beneath my skills.

Carth was easily the best fighter in that game. Because you got him at level 2 you can build him however you want.

He was actually far better in combat then Canderous and Canderous was still good. By end game, the only person my Carth couldnt beat was my character, Im pretty sure he could solo Malak

...

...

>HAVE SEX WITH ME OR I'LL BLOW UP A CHURCH

I thought Zaalbar was pretty decent. Handy for the sections where your group has to split up and you need an extra tank/melee guy.

Canderous is a beast with a sweet gun. Doesn't hurt to have a gun guy in your party.

how do you build carth?

Memes aside you pretty much needed Anders on higher difficulty unless you wanted to cuck your mage hawk and make them a healer or play a warrior.

This.

Yes, Fenris was only good for assfucking.

I bet you gave him a saber, right?

...

You're never going to want a ranged guy over a jedi

But I needed the adrenal stims

I bet you fucking let him use a heavy weapon and didnt give him two swords or two pistols, right?

>Carth
awesome with dual pistols, or dual swords
>T3M8
Yeah, kinda.
>Zaalbar
Again, wookie. wookie smash. Give him melee weapons and watch rage in action as his towering health and strength leads your team to victory

You know Jedi can use other weapons than lightsabers, right? Mira, Atton do balls amazing with master speed, super high DEX and two custom pistols

The MC is so god damn powerful by the end of Dantooine if you built right or saved your leveling for Jedi levels. All sabers gets old after a few plays

I grind potions just to not have that edgelord in my party

...

Duel weapons. Duel pistols are better then Canderous Blaster Rifle.

But Carth really shines with duel melee. Echani Foil I think its called with the Bacca blade with attributes into strength make him crazy good in damage and to hit. Because you get him so early you dont have to worry about the game putting his feats into abilities that you arnt interested in like Canderous

literally the most useful party member in the game

Kotor 1 and 2 are both so easy that it doesn't matter.

Carth or Canderous with dual pistols can wreck anything in game.

...

The black jedi was powerful cause he had grey morality in between light and dark and could use light and dark powers without too much cost.

I just started playing this again for the first time since fucking elementary school, explain how, because I know I benched him as a dumb kid.

>all that ass on my screen
>useless
Fag.

>Strong healing skills
>Free extra turns/baton passes
Probably one of the best party members for bosses
Status shots and attack reels. Wakka's overdrive can hit up to 12 times giving it the highest damage potential in the game.

yeah, the player character IS pretty useless actually

>Strong healing skills
Not relevant with Mediarahan. Makoto has it plus defence buff and mass phys skill.
>Free extra turns/baton passes
Like literally every other character?

>pistols
>in kotor 1
lol don't make me laugh, ranged is so garbage in kotor 1 that they actually make the game challenging

ALWAYS give Carth or Canderous melee weapons.

also
dex tank > constitution tank

...

On enemies that don't have weaknesses? Miracle Punch is probably the cheapest/easiest way to down them if you don't feel like blowing ammo on Down Shot.

All you need is one jedi guardian with a lightsaber. You can do that jumping attack from a huge distance and flurry the shit out of every enemy yourself. Giving everyone swords is boring.

>REE TEMPLARS STOP OPRESSING ME

At least they let you stab him in the back after he becomes a terrorist.

The head wizard was even worse though, he knew about the guy who murders your mother and he goes full retard at the end of the game and becomes a blood magic abomination that fights against you instead of the templars even if you side with him.

>Miracle Punch
Isn't reliable at all. Haru's One Shot is the same but much better.

It's 'dual' you fucking mouth breather.

That's not Kimahri though.

>You know Jedi can use other weapons than lightsabers, right? Mira, Atton do balls amazing with master speed, super high DEX and two custom pistols
What really bothered me about their implementation of D&D 3.5 rules is that lightsabers still scaled with str for damage even if you picked finesse for the weapon.

It's a fucking blade of pure plasma, it isn't going to do more damage if you swing it with bigger muscles.

Opps. My mistake. Doesn't change what I said though.

I like how the game intends for mages to be the oppressed group but everywhere you look is crazy blood mages that roam the streets at night and prove the chantry right.

>Doesn't change what I said though.
No it doesn't, but it bothers the fuck out of my autism.

Jokes on you. On my last playthrough I turned all possible party members into jedi from level one without difficulties. Atton kicked the twin assassins' asses like nothing.

Worst girl is worst party member.

No matter how you tried...

HORNLESS!

...

At the cost of being a whiny ass moral fag he'd be marginally better at best. To the degree it'd actually matter at end game though? Lol no.

Kyra is pretty good I dunno what you're smoking. She is probably the best 5th character other than Raja.

Now Gryz on the other hand, is fucking useless.

Ya but that doesnt mean he is useless when he is one of the better characters.

I also vastly prefer lawful good soldiers so he actually fit well with my party.

Considering vibroblades could deflect them, I'm sure armor could too, making a need for sheer strength.

Well that has nothing to do with Finesse though, just their general implementation of no damage modifier from DEX for any Melee. Finesse states pretty clearly it adds your STR or DEX bonus (whichever is higher) to your to-hit.

...

...

in the first game maybe (all blaster users got fucked) but his pretty good if you build him right in 2.

i still love her.

...

Source my famalam?

He starts with a Heavy repeater, and people for some reason think the best option for him is using ranged guns. But actually, he is the best melee party member you have, although the game doesn't hint it to you based on his starting gear (just look at his stats.)

tales of xilla games

I used Canderous right up until the endgame of both Kotor 1 and Kotor 2. He was consistently the last man standing after all the flimsy Jedi had fallen. He saved my party more times than I can count.

I could not disagree with you more OP

it's ok if you don't remember Boddyknock Glinckle from nwn. Not even the developers remembered him when bringing back the companions in hordes of the underdark.

...

I'm aware, but in 5E finesse is a weapon property and you dex modifier to both to-hit and damage rolls.

You can use the same argument for dexterity, where you're able to go around and target weak spots instead of forcing through with strength.

Gryz is actually pretty good at the time you get him
>High HP/Def/Atk
>Good equipment
>Starts with a good few uses of Crash (Instant death attacks are actually useful in this game)
>Brose comes in handy against machines soon after

Yeah he outlives his usefulness later on, Kyra though is just overwhelmingly average when you get her
>Uses Slicers
>Has some basic healing/defence/attack techs
>Has some healing skills
Rika instantly outclasses her, having access to Foi techs is sorta handy when you get her but... meh

forget this bitch sometimes exist.

Half, if not more, of the party members from Chrono Cross.

She's useless in the post-game, even though her combo system is miles better than Beat's.

...

>triggering fanboys

dont you cheeto stain fedoras have anything better to do?

oh who am i kidding?

>not Bao Dur

Atton can actually take hits though

Wouldn't all that stuff be put to better use with Zaalbarr?

When it comes to melee, anything Carth can do, he can do better.

...

Have a whole bunch of them.

...

These guys.

The development team clearly wrote a tier list. You can use the shitty members because only a few fights are tough, but you only get to use three people to fight. Everyone will ignore the shitters.

The problem with his skills are he's so fucking slow anything your using it on may already be half dead. He's not a terrible meat shield just even early on all the other characters actually get utility abilities, and the main 4 are way better at combat than all of them, so the less turns they waste on utility the better.

>the easiest way of hitting the damage cap and muh heals
>bad

It's actually luca the bad one, no point on her existing

There is no reaon to use anyone besides Crono, Ayla and Robo

Frog is perfectly comparable to Robo until the end of the game, and even then only really suffers because of the idiotic decision to have his best weapon be story-locked even in new game+.

Objectively the correct answer

bait

Robo has the superior techs throughout the game.

...

Everyone not named Raja is a lacking choice for your fifth slot.

Gryz - poor man's Chaz
Hans - poor man's Rune
Kyra - poor man's Rika
Demi - poor man's Wren

In the end, you just pick whoever you like, because your mains will end up carrying the fights anyway.

...

...

>dies with two hits of either physical or magic attacks
>mediocre attack
>magic that becomes underpowered fast
>steal useless items

Sniper rifle + death blow

Carth gets more feats and gets them earlier allowing you to both build him faster and not waste feats on things that arnt useful. You get Zaalbarr early enough he probably would be pretty good though as you can still control his feats. But it would take longer to catch up to Carth

He looks stylish as fuck though.

Zaalbarr is a scout, so he gets fuck all feats compared to Carth, and despite his huge strength it means his attack bonus is eventually about the same, and he also can't wear any armor, which kind of sucks when you're not a jedi.

I'd say Canderous is slightly better as a melee fighter though since he has a higher str/con and soldier gets so many feats anyway.

Nope. Tsubasa is only good for healing, and Mamori does that better. AND she can block attacks and deals more damage than Tsubasa.
Plus she has that broken attack that heals the whole party and gives an extra turn.
Tsubasa is fucking useless.

I know. The mages are looked after for a reason. It only takes one blood mages and the whole fucking place is full of demons and all the other mages get enthralled by demons. It happens every single time. The Templars stop it and then are seen as "literally Hitler" for not letting their guard down around mages because that is their job. Templars have a rough job too, the lyrium slowly drive them mad as well.

Came here to post this poor girl. I suspect Kanji didn't have power charge in vanilla and that made Chie more useful in comparison? In P4G she's inferior to Kanji in single target physicals, casting, defense and support

In Vanilla, Kanji indeed lacked power charge and good spells and Naoto was useless for bosses.
So there was better chance to fit Chie in your party
