One key element in the battle system of Eiyuden Chronicle is that of range stats. The game offers a huge number of recruitable characters who are available as party members, and each of them brings their own unique strengths. Among these party members, some of them have the unique Medium range, enabling them to attack both from the front and back row of the enemy party.
These medium-ranged party members have their own unique characteristics which make them worthy inclusions. Some of them can single-handedly deal huge damage to the enemies, while others can instead elevate the whole party. Here's how they stack up against each other.
Eiyuden Chronicle: 7 Things To Do At The Start Of The Game
When first starting Eiyuden Chronicle, players may find themselves at a loss. Here's what they should prioritize in the early game.
7 Foxiel
Flexible Fighter With Epic Rune Slot
- Has an empty Epic Rune Slot (All)
At first glance, Foxiel's stats might not be the best when compared to her fellow recruitable party members in Eiyuden Chronicle. However, on closer examination, her advantages shine. Foxiel is a middle-ranged fighter with an empty Epic Rune Slot available in her very first slot, making her a flexible choice as either a support or a fighter.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - Best Early Game Runes To Unlock ASAP
There are many Runes for players to make use of in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Here are the best ones to unlock during the early-game.
The empty rune slot can be filled with either a strong magical rune ,or a powerful passive rune slot to augment her stats. This makes Foxiel a flexible fighter, mage, or even support that can still dish out damage in both the front and back rows.
6 Dijkstra
Strong Spearman With Powerful Warcry
- Powerful Warcry: Raise allies' attack for one turn.
A strong middle-ranged fighter who can also raise the party's potential damage is rare. Dijkstra is one of those fighters, thanks to his Powerful Warcry. His replacement for Defense command enables him to raise the Attack of every party member for that turn, enabling them to deal more damage than usual.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Best Foods For Cooking Battle
The Cooking Battle minigame is one of Eiyuden Chronicle's best, and with these dishes, winning it will be a breeze.
Powerful Warcry is particularly useful for party members who rely on their Normal Attacks, such as the physical frontliners. It will enable them to augment their damage to a new height, increasing damage potential.
5 Nowa
Protagonist With Limitless Potential
- Has 4 free rune-lens slots available.
The protagonist of Eiyuden Chronicle is available right at the start of the game, and deserves a shoutout. He is one of the best middle-range fighters in the game, thanks to his limitless potential in rune-lenses slot and stats as well. With a maximum Power of 452, Nowa can do damage reliably while also being augmented with powerful passive rune-lenses.
Nowa also has the powerful unique rune-lens, Rune of Searing Blast Wave, which can inflict all enemies with heavy fire damage while also using his MP. This makes him a capable fighter with magical damage potential as well.
4 Francesca
Healer And Potential Bruiser
- High Magic potential (452)
- Rune of Calm Fury: Increases Power greatly at the cost of 5 SP.
As a healer, Francesca might not be expected to deal damage on her own, due to her relatively low Power stat. However, coupled with her Rune of Calm Fury and middle-range attacks, she can deal damage when a fight stretches quite long, as they tend to do against certain bosses.
Eiyuden Chronicle: 7 Best Mages, Ranked
Every adventuring party needs someone to dish out magical damage, and these are the best options for that in Eiyuden Chronicle.
Francesca's high Magic potential also makes her one of the best mages in the game. Coupled with her healing and her damage potential, this makes her a worthy party member to invest in leveling up.
3 Hakugin
Quick Shinobi With Powerful Stats
- One of the quickest party members in the game (498 Speed)
Due to her maximum Speed stat of 498, Hakugin is one of the best party members with middle-range attacks. Due to her stats and her mid-range, she's quite flexible in terms of placement in the party. In addition to her speed, Hakugin can also deal damage to multiple enemies thanks to her unique rune-lens.
It's also worth mentioning that Hakugin shines quite early in the game. Her early stats are among the best when compared to other party members in early levels, making her a great choice to have in the party as soon as possible.
2 El Alicanto
Tanky, Yet Flexible Wrestler
- High Defensive Stats
- High Critical Rate
Although middle-ranged fighters are not often tanky, El Alicanto breaks the stereotype. He's a middle-ranged fighter with high defensive stats, which enable him to sit comfortably on the front line of the party. Moreover, his high Dexterity and Luck stats mark him as one of the best fighters, as does his high critical hit chance.
Taken together, these qualities allow El Alicanto to shine in either roles as a tank or damage dealer of the party. Players can determine his role based on their needs when facing difficult battles.
1 Shixeen
Medium Ranged, Perfect Stats Fighter
- High Maximum Power (495)
Shixeen is one of the strongest middle-ranged party members, thanks to her perfect stat gain. This gives her a maximum Power of 495 and a maximum Luck of 452, allowing her to deal high physical damage while also dealing critical hits.
Her middle-range attack allows players to place her anywhere in the party, although placing her in the front line will give her the ability to target the enemy's back line as well. This can prove useful against enemies' glass cannons in the back row, such as mages. Those enemies will have less stellar defensive stats than normal enemies have, and Shixeen can take them out easily.
