Narrative & Emotional Weight
| Character | Notes | |-----------|-------| | | Fast, high TECH. But no rune slots hurts. 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. | suikoden+2+tier+list
| Character | Why | |-----------|-----| | (kobold) | Low stats, but early-game dodge tank. Falls off fast. | | Rikimaru | High STR, but abysmal accuracy. Misses constantly. | | Yam Koo | High HP but useless otherwise. | | Hix | Weak stats. Only useful if paired with Tengaar (but still bad). | | Karen (dancer) | Low damage, but high luck for rare item drops. | | Viki | Teleportation (game utility) but terrible combat stats. | | Jeane | Low MAG despite being a “mage”. Charm effect unreliable. | | Tessai | Craftsman, not fighter. | | Anita | Low STR, high TECH but still weak. | | Valeria (from S1 transfer) | Good in S1, mediocre here due to poor rune options. | Narrative & Emotional Weight | Character | Notes
