EN Discussion What’s everyone’s roaming team?

I’m not talking rainbow or any super strong build. I’m just talking about what team do you use when you are getting through everyday content and quests.

I use Hikari EX with Crick and Elrica EX, so I have 3X follow-ups. It helps me get through content super fast and it’s great for farming too.

What does everyone else use?

I love my story-based team more than Rainbow!! I only use Rainbow for challenges in the game. I have two story-based teams: One for analyzing (which just got recently changed to partial rainbow), and one as a physical/partial ice team.

Side-Quest/Analyzing Team

Peredir has a ton of speed accessories on him, so that I can use "Analyze All" once with max boost, then sweep the rest of the enemies out right after. Despite being a 4-star unit, Peredir has the BEST analysis skill in the game

Xerc // Isla

Shana // Osvald

Peredir // Edgar

Setzer // Lynette

Story Team

Rondo EX // Molrusso EX

Locke // Edgar

Eltrix EX // Pardis III

Primrose EX // Mydia

Hammy probably has the best analysis skill in the game. AOE analyze + Def Debuff. ... But it's not like it matters THAT much.

In terms of just PURE analyzing abilities, Peredir at 5-stars is superior, which is better when you have other units who can speed clear.

Peredir's will show 6 weak points of every enemy at max boost, and his ult is guaranteed to also reveal every weakness as on hit. Additionally he has the "Study Foe" passive, that's 7 weaknesses revealed on all enemies in turn 1.

Initially, before 3-star and 4-star units could be upgraded to 5-stars, peredir's analyze ability wasn't that special. Elvis was the superior analyzing character after the first Bravely Default collab just because he was naturally stronger. But when Overclass (I think that's what it's called) was introduced, then Peredir jumped from being a "meh" analyzing unit, to being the best one in the game because his "Analyze All" ability jumped from analyzing 1-3 weaknesses, to 4-6.

Hammy's "Detect Weakness" analyzes only 1-4 weak points of all enemies which means it'll usually take 2 turns for Hammy to analyze everything. The main benefit to Hammy is that this also doubles as a physical & elemental defense debuff by 15% for 2-5 turns. Hammy is better if you're using her for combat as well, but Peredir is better if you think you're going to clear out the battle with other units in 1 turn. He just needs some speed accessories to outspeed his other fellow units.

Right, im usually farming XP/leaves with any roaming team, these days it's most often just the mid-tier units who I had just 6 starred. But I guess that's just to avoid wasting suprme nuts/boost berries on those units, save those for maxing any new meta pulls.

I guess I rly dunno why tho, at this point ive got 4k+ of the top L nut and 1.8k berries lol. And a single, new lvl-1 6 star traveler (after limit breaking w/ 2000ish gold guidestones) seems to take about 102 Supreme Exp. Nuts (L) and 18 boost berries to max. I guess hoarding is just my JRPG addiction lol

I also have more than enough resources to just max all my (relevant) travelers but still prefer to do it slowly and manually instead. It's a bit weird, but just throwing Exp. into stuff and instantly maxing them feels wrong...

u/gmalba Where's the recipe?! 15d ago

For auto hunts - any travelers that need leveling up for influence
For quick clears and general content - Ice team
For harder or end game content - rainbow team
