These party members reign supreme in Eiyuden Chronicle thanks to their stats that are close to perfection.

Among these short-ranged fighters, there are select party members that outshine the others thanks to their advantages.

Deadly Berserker With Maximum Power

Due to his maximum power, which is among the highest in the game, Rudy can be classified as one of the best frontliners who can deal a heavy amount of damage by himself.

6 Galdorf

One-Hit Kill Capable With Charge Up

A select number of characters are capable of dealing a tremendous amount of damage with their unique Charge Up skill that replaces the traditional Defense action. One of these characters is Galdorf, who is potentially able to deal upwards of 1000+ damage or more in the right circumstances thanks to his Charge Up skill.

The unique Charge Up skill is also complemented by his maximum power of 452, almost reaching the highest in the game. Coupled with buff items such as physical damage-increasing food, the axe man is capable of being a deadly frontliner for the party.

5 Sabine

Deadly Tank Fighter Hybrid

Sometimes, frontliners that can dish out heavy damage are unfortunately disadvantaged by the fact that their defensive stats are not up to the standard, making them a glass cannon in some cases, such as when facing a particularly difficult boss on a tricky battle. Sabine can subvert this trope by being an all-rounder who can soak up and deal damage as well.

4 Yuferius VII

3 Mio

Early Starter Character That Peaks Late Game

During the early stages of the game, Mio might be considered too weak to be included as a mainstay for the party's rotation of strong characters due to her stats' progression. However, at her peak level, her stats are so deadly that her inclusion might be necessary before a difficult fight, thanks to her ability to deliver steady critical hits.

This can be done thanks to her maximum dexterity of 498, which is among the highest in the game. Paired with her maximum power of 451 and Epic passive rune-lens slot, she is well-capable of being the assassin of the group.
