Just beat my second playthrough a few minutes ago:
5. Tibarn: He's a must-use for me. Otherwise I will have sinned.
4. Makalov: Man, I didn't expect him to turn out so good. He raped face with Alondite, and strangely capped Luck (isn't he supposed to be super unlucky or something?).
3. Aran: Turned out excellent. Capped Speed, Skill and nearly capped Resistance without any abuse.
2. Shinon: Awesome as always, though he needed an Energy Drop to cap Strength. But awesome nonetheless. He, alongside Kurthnaga, made defeating Ashera cake.
1. Haar: I'm not one bit surprised at his position. He owns as always, though his speed leaves a little to be desired (even though he capped it).
Started yet another playthrough as soon as I beat this one, this time to try and get the Soren convo and Lehran. :D
