Favorite NPC party?

[GreenArcher]

For all you story mode players, what is your favorite NPC party?

I have found myself using Karen, Magashi, and a MySynth model that will give me damage reduction for whatever mission I'm running.

Magashi spams cross hurricane and that spinning axe, and manages to dish out a decent amount of damage. Karen grants techs are good at knocking down enemies, she buffs on occasion, and even gets a chain going sometimes with twin daggers. And who wouldn't want -20% damage from a MySynth?

I'm interested in using Shizuru, but not so interested in doing Story Mode ever again..

GH420, Karen and Liina for me mostly, i like to have Liina with me for some reason, and Karen is good for your above mentioned reasons.

GH420 is reduction plus i just love her. Claws ftw.

Usually a 514 and nothing else, free chains, heals, really rare for it to break chain.

If it's a non boss mission on story mode I'll usually take the tech users for a shitty chance at a lvl 30 tech disk.

I always have

My partner machine (514 model),
+
Maya (I find it a good tactic to select blast charge and then get her to release it on the boss, as she has the Earth type mirage blast which is really helpful...plus in my opinion shes better with healing and buffing than Lumia or Emila)
+
Vivienne or Lou (I find them quite handy for healing and guns)

Why anyone would regularly use Kraz is beyond me...Beast Ranger? ugh...

MySynth (GH-450 atm)
Maya
Lumia

As a Hunter, I like my NPCs to be healers and buffers. I hate having fellow Hunter NPCs since they send mobs flying for no reason (hi2u, Ethan Waber) and mess up chains ever-so often. My NPCs are merely there as distractions and medics - I do all the killing.
