Summary
Thanks to its robust party system that was developed based on previous great JRPGs,Eiyuden Chroniclehas the unique feature of having the 7th member in a party dedicated to a support slot, making the huge cast of 100+ characters able to contribute in some ways to the fields and dungeons where most of the battles happen.
Thesesupportsoffer invaluable abilities that improve the player’s quality of gameplay by a lot, such as by having a quicker way of moving past dungeons, or increasing the party’s damage before a battle starts. It is important to identify these supports before going on a journey to the dangerous fields and dungeonsEiyuden Chronicle, and to knowwhich supports are the best.
7Perrielle
Occassionally Buff The Party’s Damage
Despite being an available party member with therole designation of tank, and an important story character,Perielle, surprisingly, can also be included in the party as a support. Moreover, her unique ability, Go Get ‘Em!, gives her a low chance to significantly augment every party member’s attack at random.
Although random, this attack boost can definitely justify her inclusion as a support member of the party. This can also allow her to be useful when her inclusion in the party is forced at certain parts of the game, without having to put her into the useless Attendant slot or in the party’s front line.
6Douglas
Reliable Source Of Damage Increase
Unlike from other supports inEiyuden Chronicle,Douglashas the edge of having a greater chance of triggering his Support Skill to boost allies’ attack, enabling him to increase the party’s attack reliably without having to hope for the RNG to have mercy on a struggling party against difficult enemies. This is incredibly useful for both warriors and mages alike, as he increases both physical and magical damage.
Having Douglas in the party also means that he will be available in the headquarters as a blacksmithafter being recruited, which is quite important to have to keep party members’ weapons up to date. Having a reliably upgraded weapon can translate to easier battles or less frequent Healing Herbs usage.
5Janquis
Bring The Reliable Butler To Get Rich
Having to upgrade a party member’s weapons and buy them new armors to keep up with enemies of higher levels can be tough on a baqua wallet. A way to alleviate that problem would be to grind random encounters, which can be draining in its own right, given enough time.Janquiscan solve that problem by being a support in the party.
With his inclusion,baqua collected from battleswill be doubled, which is worth quite a bit in both the short and long term. A high amount of baqua can make a player’s life easier, especially if they are committed to beating the game optimally, without any wasted time.
4Yulin
Great For Training Under-Leveled Characters
Experience in JRPG games, especiallyEiyuden Chronicle, is always a precious commodity to have, as it allows the party members to get stronger. Although grinding for levels can be tedious at times, havingYulinas a support will make the tedious process more bearable thanks to her unique Support Skill.
Yulin is able to double collect experience that is given by enemies right after their defeat. Having her in the party for most of the game will enable the player to achieve the highest potential for all of their party members, such asunlocking rune slots, provided that the player knows which members and runes to pick.
3Cassandra
Substitute Party Members With Ease
Switching party members on the fly might be difficult during the early parts of the game, when teleportation is not available yet, due to therequirement for players to recruit Carrie. With the inclusion ofCassandrain the party as a support, this switch can be done anywhere with a save point, including Save Crystals and Inns.
This will allow players to adapt to situations that they’re about to encounter on the fly, such as starting a dungeon with the starting save point at the entrance, or switching strong members into the party before a boss fight. Her flexibility allows players to trivialize the difficulty of the game, especially in the early goings.
2Aire
Quicker Traveling Speed Everywhere
During a game ofEiyuden Chronicle, players might feel the walking speed of Nowa is much slower when compared to other JRPG games that have a dash button built-in. Although in the early game this can be alleviated by equipping Dash Boots, their walking speed can be enhanced further with the inclusion ofAirein the support slot of the party.
By moving quicker, the player can enjoy several benefits, including having an easier path to grinding, and alsoprogressing the gamemore quickly, especially in dungeons with numerous branching roads. Having Aire can be said to be essential in different parts of the game, especially when players are required to make journeys and hops between towns.
1Nell
Crucial Support For Hoarding Items
Unsurprisingly, playing a JRPG likeEiyuden Chroniclewill often require good inventory management to avoid running out of space for new gear. This can often happen, especially during a particularly long dungeon with numerous items that can eat up space in no time. HavingNellas a support will ease that situation, as this creature will increasethe maximum bag storageby 20.
This can allow the player to grind without having to worry too much about their inventory management. Moreover, the spacious inventory can be utilized by stocking up on items for different situations, such as having buffing food before a difficult fight, or stocking up on various medicines before entering a particularly difficult dungeon.
