In Eiyuden Chronicle, the battle system is turn-based, with faster characters moving first. Because of this, players who want to win battles against both random enemy encounters and against hard bosses will need to consider the order of the party's turn against enemies. This turn order is determined by each of the party member's Speed stat.

Each character's Speed is calculated against both other fellow party members and enemies to determine where their turn falls. Thus, it's important to have speedy party members, in order to have the initiative against enemies. This will enable the party to deal damage before their enemies do, giving them a better chance of coming out on top.

7 Rudy

One Of The Speediest Frontliners

Having a frontliner that can dish out damage before anyone else in a battle is a luxury. Rudy is one such party member, thanks to his maximum Speed of 452. This makes him one of the strongest frontliners in the game.

Moreover, his maximum Power amounts to 495, which is one of the highest in the game. Because of this, damage he deals at the beginning of a turn is almost guaranteed to be among the highest in the party, as long as he is equipped with the appropriate runes. Rudy can deal a devastating first blow, giving the player's party the upper hand.

6 Mio

Lethal Frontliner With OHKO Potential

  • Maximum Speed: 452

A reliable assassin who can deal one hit knockout (OHKO) is never a bad thing for a player of Eiyuden Chronicle. For players who want to use this strategy, Mio is the best choice, as she can consistently deal critical hits against enemies. Her high critical chance is thanks to her Dexterity stat, which is among the highest in the game.

With this capability, players can rely on Mio to stand on the frontline, ready to deal lethal damage on one of the first few turns in battle. As long as the player can support her defense deficiencies, Mio is a solid party member in terms of both damage and speed.

5 Aoi

Quick Sniper With Huge Damage Capability

  • Maximum Speed: 452

Thanks to her pure physical prowess, complemented by her 498 Dexterity, Aoi can be trusted as one of the quickest party members in the game. Thanks to her stats, she can snipe a weak enemy during the beginning of an encounter. Her long-range capability allows her to deal damage safely in the back row, where she doesn't have to worry about getting damaged.

When she uses the best buffing items, Mio can shoot an arrow that instantly kills an enemy during a battle from the back row. And thanks to her Speed, she can even do this on the first turn in battle, making short work of foes from the back row.

4 Lian

The Earliest Speedy Party Member

  • Maximum Speed: 452

Thanks to her early recruitment and her stats' growth, Lian is quickly able to make her turn come first in battle, thanks to her maximum speed of 452. This enables her to deal damage before anyone else, giving players the advantage against enemies.

Lian is also capable of dealing an occasional critical hit during a battle, thanks to her high maximum Dexterity of 451. Coupled with her maximum power of 452, it is worth leveling her up, as long as the player can commit to having her at every stage of the game.

3 Momo

The Strongest And Quickest Mage

  • Maximum Speed: 452

It can be argued that Momo is one of the party members that players always need to include thanks to his abilities. One of these is his maximum speed of 452. This enables him to use rune lenses before anyone else, making him deadly during all stages of a battle, whether these be random encounters or even difficult boss fights.

With his high elemental affinities and maximum rune lenses, Eiyuden Chronicle players can trust Momo to be the party's designated mage, enabling them to coast through the game easily.

2 Chandra

Deceptively Quick Humongous Party Member

  • Maximum Speed: 498

Despite requiring two slots in the party due to his status as a Large party member, Chandra's inclusion is worth it, even in difficult modes such as the Endless Mode. This mode requires a party to be both self-sufficient and powerful enough to coast numerous turns of battles, and Chandra is the one for the job.

He is tied with Hakugin for the highest maximum speed in the game, at 498. Coupled with his high maximum HP, Power, and defensive stats, players can rely on Chandra as one of the quickest and deadliest party membera in Eiyuden Chronicle

1 Hakugin

Quickest Ninja With Early Availability

  • Maximum Speed: 498

Having a reliable, quick party member during the early stages of the game, especially when farming crucial resources such as baqua. However, this becomes quite trivial thanks to Hakugin's early availability, as her maximum speed also peaks during the early stages of the game. For example, at level 30, Hakugin's speed already reaches 160, which is the highest at that level.

Her other stats are also impressive. Hakugin has a maximum Power and Dexterity of 160 at that level, allowing her to deal damage quickly during the first turn of a battle. Because she can be slotted in the backrow, she can remain safe from harm, as long as she can take care of long-ranged enemies at the first turn of a battle.
