Due to the huge cast of characters in Eiyuden Chronicle, there will be a clear divide between characters that are strong in the early stages of the game yet weaker during the later stages, and those who peaked in later levels with their powerful stats when compared to others. Some are even steadily powerful throughout the game, making them a must-have in a party.

When first starting Eiyuden Chronicle, players may find themselves at a loss. Here's what they should prioritize in the early game.

Some of these characters have their own specialization and niche when compared with each other, making each of these characters uniquely powerful in their own way. A tanky character with a huge stat potential will be worth investing in due to their survivability, while the mages-type are worth more due to their sheer firepower.

7 Lam

Deadly Martial Artist With Critical Potential

A high dexterity stat can easily translate to a higher chance of dealing critical damage, which Lam is obviously well capable of thanks to that specific stat's high number in her maximum level. Aside from her particularly high dexterity, Lam also packs a punch with her maximum power of 498, which is the highest shared with other characters in the game.

Reforming a party is a crucial aspect of combat in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, though this feature may confuse some new JRPG players.

Her particularly high dexterity and speed are also accompanied by the fact that her speed is on the above-average level when compared to other characters, enabling her to move ahead of the enemies to deal damage. It is always worth investing in Lam's level due to her potential in the game as one of the best recruitable characters.

6 Mellore

Magical Girl With Limitless Potential

Thanks to her early availability in the game, Mellore cannot be easily missed since her questline begins really early, right in the starting town of Eltisweiss. However, a player can quickly notice that her starting stats are not powerful compared to other characters in the game, which makes her weaker in that stage of the game compared to others.

Here's how to find Mellore and defeat the tough to recruit her in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

However, she shines bright after reaching the maximum level, capable of having 495 magic stat, which is the highest in the game compared to the others. Her unique rune lenses that use SP also enable her to be one of the most viable mages to level up in the game.

5 Milana

Hugely Potential And Formidable Necromancer

Sometimes, mages in the game are glass cannons due to the fact that they have a relatively low amount of HP when compared to other characters. Fortunately, Milana is able to circumvent that trope thanks to her relatively high HP at 597 when reaching her maximum level. Moreover, she holds the highest magic stat in the game at that level, shared with a few other mages at 495.

The maximum magical defense that she holds at 452 also makes her able to withstand area magic attacks from dangerous bosses during the late game, making her able to use her necromancy rune lenses with ease during difficult boss fights at some points of Eiyuden Chronicle's long gameplay.

4 Shixeen

Well-Rounded Fighter And Tank

Although Shixeen's title is innocently called "Card Gamer Steeryn", her stats at her maximum level should tell the fact that she is a formidable party member that can either be deployed in the front or the back thanks to her flexible M weapon range. Moreover, her maximum power at 495 is among the best in the game, making her worth leveling up during the game.

Her respectable dexterity and speed also make her a viable bruiser who is able to deal damage reliably with the occasional critical. One of her main points lies also with her maximum physical defense at 452, which is quite high when compared to other characters.

3 Reyna

Best Tank Of The Party

In Eiyuden Chronicle, the debate for the best tank in the game is easily won by pointing to Reyna's existence due to her massive HP, and physical and magical defense stats. Her respectable number of stats also carries right from her recruitment, making her the best tank during all parts of the game.

At her maximum level, her tankiness is also accompanied by her above-average amount of power, making her able to dish damage reliably. Also, her high dexterity will also enable her to dish out critical at times, which can be game-changing when facing difficult bosses in the game.

2 Iugo

Samurai Capable In Offense And Defense

If there is a character that can be argued to be the best one in the game thanks to his reliability in all parts of the game, Iugo can definitely qualify as one. His reliability is thanks to his steady stats gain at all stages of the game, be it during the earliest after he is recruited, or at his peak 99 level with his maximum power of 498, which is the best in the game.

Though there are over 100 characters for players to recruit in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, these are the best to have during the early-game.

His maximum dexterity of 452 will also enable the occasional critical to emerge in all battles of the game, including when farming baqua for weapon upgrades and armor buying. Iugo can be regarded as one of the must-have characters in the game thanks to the qualities that he has.

1 Momo Gardestein

Most Powerful Mage In The Game

As one of the magical girls' trio, Momo Gardestein becomes the face of the trio due to his awesome stats gain that culminates into making him one of the best mages in the game. With the highest maximum magic of 498 and speedy turn speed of 452 maximum speed, Momo can also be argued as one of the best characters in the game.

Furthermore, his high magical defense at 495 easily covers his relatively low HP, which can be a detriment in certain parts of the game. His abnormally high maximum MP also allows him to cast powerful rune lenses without worrying about running out of gas during difficult boss fights.
