Still decent with a Double-Beat rune (if hacked in). | | Tir McDohl (transfer from Suikoden 1) | Soul Eater is powerful, but only if you grinded in S1. Falls off slightly without good rune setup. | | Millie | Good MAG, but random rune affinity (can fail spells). | | Futch | Balanced stats, gets Bright Shield optional scene. | | Tengaar | High STR, but slow. | | Kinnison (with Shiro) | Wolf + hunter combo. Good physical damage. | | Gadget (robot) | High defense, thunder attacks. Slow but tanky. | | Sigfried (unicorn) | Can heal, decent damage. But takes a party slot like a human. | | Bob (werewolf) | Transform ability → high damage. No rune slots in human form though. |
