Highlights
Thanks to its robust party system that was developed based on previous great JRPGs, Eiyuden Chronicle has 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.
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.
These supports offer 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 dungeons Eiyuden Chronicle, and to know which supports are the best.
7 Perrielle
Occassionally Buff The Party's Damage
- Go Get ‘Em!: Low chance to boost allies' attacks and action speed in battles.
Despite being an available party member with the role 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.
6 Douglas
Reliable Source Of Damage Increase
- Soul of Smithery: High chance to boost allies' attacks in battle.
Unlike from other supports in Eiyuden Chronicle, Douglas has 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.

Every adventuring party needs someone to dish out magical damage, and these are the best options for that in Eiyuden Chronicle.
Having Douglas in the party also means that he will be available in the headquarters as a blacksmith after being recruited, which is quite important to have in order to keep party members’ weapons up to date. Having a reliably upgraded weapon can translate to easier battles or less frequent Healing Herbs usage.
5 Janquis
Bring The Reliable Butler To Get Rich
- Get Rich Inhumanly Quick: Double baqua collected from battles.
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. Janquis can solve that problem by being a support in the party.
With his inclusion, baqua collected from battles will 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.
4 Yulin
Great For Training Under-Leveled Characters
- Unceasing Training: Double experience points collected from battles.
Experience in JRPG games, especially Eiyuden 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, having Yulin as 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 as unlocking rune slots, provided that the player knows which members and runes to pick.
3 Cassandra
Substitute Party Members With Ease
- Field Party Formation: Able to change party members at save points (In/Save Crystals).
Switching party members on the fly might be difficult during the early parts of the game, when teleportation is not available yet, due to the requirement for players to recruit Carrie. With the inclusion of Cassandra in the party as a support, this switch can be done anywhere with a save point, including Save Crystals and Inns.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes – How to Change Team Members
Reforming a party is a crucial aspect of combat in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, though this feature may confuse some new JRPG players.
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.
2 Aire
Quicker Traveling Speed Everywhere
- Burst of Speed: Double movement speed when walking.
During a game of Eiyuden 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 of Aire in the support slot of the party.
By moving quicker, the player can enjoy several benefits, including having an easier path to grinding, and also progressing the game more 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.
1 Nell
Crucial Support For Hoarding Items
- The Mysterious Stowpack: Increases maximum bag storage capacity.
Unsurprisingly, playing a JRPG like Eiyuden Chronicle will 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. Having Nell as a support will ease that situation, as this creature will increase the maximum bag storage by 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.
