Poll
Question:
Who is your favourite teammate?
Option 1: Griffin
Option 2: Rahel
Option 3: Luca
Option 4: Arman
Option 5: Set
Option 6: Malis
To go along with a similar thread on the old forums (where things were pretty evenly split) and to compliment a similar thread in TRPG2, tell us here who your favourite teammate in TSoG is, and why?
(Granted, the game isn't finished yet, but do share what your initial impressions are!)
Personality or in a Fighter?
You can answer both, really.
I initially thought of purely from battle-usefulness point of view, but I think hearing what people say about teammate characters is also interesting. So, why not combine the two?
Set: he has a funny charm outside of battle and having such a powerful healer allowing me to go on a wild rampage with my main.
I would probably go with Arman: he is fast and can strike down any inconveniently-positioned enemy, or make a last-ditch effort to change a situation before the end of my turn.
Hero. Can kill a 60 HP guy with light blast, and has light bomb.
Arman. In battle, he is very mobile and powerful. Out of battle, he's just like me.
I mean, aside from the Hero, Dayn, have you got a favourite teammate?

What, you're also an assassin? :P
Well,i never had though about that;but my favourite is Griffin!
Reasons:
-In Battle he and me kill the entire battlefield,
-Outside he is calm,and good friend,but wen thinks have to be done,he does it! :) :) :)
Arman, mainly because Leap and Mega Stab make him the best person to take down a high-HP enemy.
My #2 would be Malis.
I would go with Malis because with her shadowport and shadow blast she can basically own anything that is in the back lines. I also like her because she is good assassin, and a good main fighter
Arman. Train him and he's awesome!
arman is worth training he can easily get the enemys back for backstab damage hes onee of the ones i train the most
I train everyone about equally, but not the stats.
I would bet on the hero.
I mostly like him for his personality you can make it what you want it to be. And the fighting is very good I have him with 99 psy def and 99 psy attk. I bet Luca is even more sad now no one voted for her.
set and rahel are tied for me
rahel is a great ally for the main, her range, power, and veratility make her a very useful unit
set also helps, i once beat the mission at fawaz gorge using only set, rahel, and the main
we held out at the bride and slaughtered them all
set used static shield and solid state shield, rahel used bow 2/split shot 2 to pick off anybody flanking/finsh them, and the main just shadow blasted/dark vortex-ed the entire team

No, I just don't do much without any pay. Which is one thing comparable between me and Arman.
I think all the Arman-loving made Craig realize that he is too powerful. Now all his attacks cost more PsP.
I like Arman because personally I have no regrets about stabbing someone in the back
Luca, because I need someone to bring back my dead. I make too many "oversights" on the battlefield and end up with dead teammates. Luca is basically my "Oh ****" button. Being able to hide and supply my other characters with Psy helps when my plans end up too overambitious. Plus, she's a ghost. How is that NOT cool?
Yay-Luca finally has a fan!

I disagree, while Arman is very useful, and probably the strongest teammate, he has low defense and is in constant risk of getting killed in one turn. Also, he is hardly a team player, more of a very stong support character that takes out one enemy at a time
i am a luca fan i just like arman more
I Awesomely (Might be a made-up word by me!) Like Arman. Why? Because,
1.9 Movement steps!
2.He has good attack and stuff like Leap and Backstab!
3.He can sidestab but thats not really new xD.
Thats all for now so yeah Arman rocks! (Even though he's a Fugative.)

According to the twitter, Arman's mega stab now costs 15 Psp
His Stab now costs more as well, but I forget the exact change
It's also gotta be Griffin or Rahel for sure! I hardly use Set but mabye Luca may help too! As you can see i like Offence better than Defence!
Set is my favourite, no doubt. He has good attitude to things and he is usually calm. I also like Griffin because he is very strong and honest person, and I also found him very useful at the battles because of Slash, counter and high health.
Luca. When the Hero needs more Psy points to slaughter the enemy, were does he get it?
Luca is also good at taking hits from physical attacks.
She's not the strongest, but Luca is by far the best in terms of sheer usefulness. She can fly, restore psy points to your primary nukers (hero/Arman), plus she can use Juxtapose to set an enemy up for multiple backstabs (or save Arman's butt when he gets swarmed by enemies).
She's also the most intriguing character. We know almost nothing about her except that she's a dead tragedienne. She's also morally ambiguous. Arman might be an assassain, but his backstory shows that he definitely has a conscience. Luca, on the other hand, sucks the souls out of enemies so your forces can return from the dead and will destroy a mob of unnarmed people at your bequest.
No matter what other characters might be added, I think Luca will always have a spot in my roster.
Though your names speaks of a jest, I believe you're right. You've convinced me, Luca, an obviously powerful, distraught spirit, now has my eye. Twixt her and Rahel, I sense a lot of pain from their earlier lives. However, that scene was likely little more than an act to scare them off. Though, I still like Set... and I'm interested to see how his kind-heartened temperament... is likely to change...
I can see him being severely distraught and forced into action then feeling quite guilty about it, and spacing everybody away through his shields. As a spirit, Luca is the only one to pass through them. Seeing the deep scars of pain within Set, Luca approaches him. Through some great characterization, Luca's "icy heart" is warmed and Set is up and happy once again, especially now as he has developed on bond of friendship with Luca.
I love all the characters really. It all depends on how well this tale is spun, and, as of yet, it's been weaved quite profoundly.
Personality-wise, Set or Luca. Arman is my favourite in battle.
And what think you of the latest (though not that "new") addition of Malis and her character?
I do agree with j3sterg's points about Luca, it sums up pretty well her as a teammate.
And Zhampir, why would you suspect Set of anything in the first place? He seems quite innocent to me for now...
If I could change my vote, I'd change it to Rahel, because, other than Duvalier and Griffin, she's the only on that can hurt multiple enemies. Unlike Griffin, though, she can hurt them from a distance.
Attacks that hurt more than one enemy usually deal less damage, though- that's why I dislike area attacks, esp. Pyro Hail.
So, Bromtaghon, this leaves you to choose who as your favourite teammate?
Interesting that Arman seems to be the clear favourite or now, whilst the rest seem to be equally spread out. And yet he's the one who was, up to a point, a professional assassin.
Arman is the strongest chracter, even with the increased Psy cost for stab and mega stab. its not a problem, but its true
Well, there is also the personality factor as well- this thread was supposed to include both, as these factors can work in opposing ways, so as answer should produce the most agreeable teammate for the player.
About personality, I think my favourite is Rahel,
because though she is harsh all the time,
she is the most trustable(hope this word exists) character.
About battlefield, I have to agree Arman gives dinamic to the fight. Griffin sums good damage too, after some training.
In battle, Arman, hands down. I'd put Set in second since I play Brutal.
Personality wise, I'm not sure. Rahel, Malis and Set's personalities are taken a bit too far (too harsh, too narcissistic, too pacifistic.) I like Arman's personality, though. Luca doesn't say much. As for Griffin... well, I can't really find anything that sticks out about his personality.

(personality wise; not classes)
I'd answer this, but it's a character you haven't seen yet. ;)
That is why asked you pick a charcter out of the current team.
Ah, yes, well, you and I have different vantage points on what constitutes the current team, don't we? ;)
I'd probably say Arman. Though truthfully, I've had lots of fun writing dialog for every last one of them, and I think they're all pretty neat characters in their own ways.
The quotes may confusing, so I will sum things up. Basically, Criag's favorate teammate hasn't been presented yet. Of the presented teammates, Arman is his favorite.
I don't know about everyone else, but I find Set's stubborn pacifism kinda boring. He also seems too nice.
Rahel is my favorite.She gets pretty strong and useful if you train her enough :).My #2 is probably Arman.

Heh, figures, everyone loves Arman, who doesn't like the sneaky con-artist types? :D
Luca is my first. Malis my second. Luca has undergone a great loss, if you lose her in a battle, she's back in the next, and she can bring back your teammates. Malis is calculating, thus I like her.
I don't like Luca much right now. After the cellar mission, she has almost no dialogue. She says, "Please...I must be alone," to cut the conversation short.
Malis's narcissism is funny.
Arman's superstitious paranoia is funny too.
I like Griffin the best. He is the everyman type. He is able to joke about the Hero trying to hook up with Rahel, he is able to reasure his friend, and has a personal issue he doesn't like talking about like everyone.
Griffin is cool too. But I still say that Luca is my favorite.
I like Griffin too. Luca is kinda boring. ;)
