The choice of units in Wizardry Variants Daphne is crucial because it can considerably alter the way you play the game. Such mechanics as skill inheritance and skill control define the success rate of each unit, and here, we'll provide you with a tier list of the best ones in the game.
Skill inheritance plays a huge role in this game, allowing your main character to inherit skills of other units in the squad, thus making you much stronger. Of course, attackers will always have priority, as well as healer units for any team.
| Tier | Units |
|---|---|
| S | Deborah, Alice, Ekaterina, Adam, Wandering Lanavaille |
| A | Girard, Lanavaille, Gerluf, Marianne |
| B | Barbara, Gandolfo, Elysee, Chloe, Benjamin, Valdor |
| C | Milana, Flute, Eckart, Dino, Amelia |
The following units have an accelerated skill and stat growth, making them the most desirable choices from the very beginning.
| Unit | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Deborah | Self-control skills allow you to increase your stats beginning from Level 1 already and attack power from Level 2. Starting from Level 4, this unit also recovers SP when defeating an enemy. | Recovers only a couple points of SP when defeating enemies. |
| Alice | Best unit for skill inheritance, increasing its strength and MP already at Level 1. Beginning from Level 2, you can also increase her Divine Power, allowing you to use lots of debuff spells. | Skill enhancements slow down even at higher levels. |
| Ekaterina | Negates detection and surprise attacks, which is great for running dungeons. A very good unit for buffing allies while improving its own stats at Level 1 and increasing MP at Level 2. | Not the best unit for skill inheritance. |
| Adam | This unit has a passive skill that consistently reduces MP consumption. His skill that ignores elemental compatibility can be inherited, allowing you to negate damage reduction for incompatible elements. | Requires constant damage increase for proper leveling. |
| Wandering Lanavaille | Possesses unique skills that increase her HP and resistance to critical hits. When using light armor and a one-handed sword, her speed will be higher than that of regular Lanavaille. | Loses most of her benefits if she wears heavy armor. |
Support units should always be prioritized over extra offense or defense due to their many valuable skill and stat recovery abilities.
| Unit | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Girard | Girard's self-control skills increase his evasion and speed. If you equip him with a one-handed sword, then his evasion increases even further, making him a good tank. | Loses power if inflicted with negative effects. |
| Lanavaille | Regular Lanavaille recovers faster after each victory, which allows her to keep going longer than other units. She's also resistant to negative effects, such as Charm and Confusion. | If she inherits skills, their stats are halved down. |
| Gerluf | Gerluf's passive ability consistently increases his attack power. At Level 2, his critical hits get some serious boost. Generally, a very strong DPS unit. | Slow speed of movement. |
| Marianne | A solid healer with poison recovery skills. If you main her, her recovery skills will get even stronger. Also, her self-control skills boost her MP, allowing you to cast spells more frequently. | Low damage and self-defense. |
If you have more room in your team for an extra or two units, then consider some of these characters to enhance whichever skills you wish to inherit.
| Unit | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Barbara | If the chosen class is Knight, then this unit receives increased HP and SP reduction, allowing you to use your attacks more frequently. | Not a good unit for skill inheritance. |
| Gandolfo | When this unit inherits skills, his SP consumption is reduced, resulting in more frequent attacks. His self-control skills also increase his overall hit rate. | Effective only when using heavy weaponry. |
| Elysee | Buffs all allies that stand in front and behind her. This makes herself and her team well protected. | Works only with neutral units. |
| Chloe | If the Warrior class is chosen, she can increase the number of uses for her skills. Becomes especially strong if she inherits the skills of attacker units. | Requires high SP consumption. |
| Benjamin | Unit with high attack and defense power. Starts with very high HP, making him a solid tank, and it can also be increased further on. | Limited in terms of application beyond tanking. |
| Valdor | If this unit inherits Vanguard or Thief skills, he will increase the defensive power of one row of allies. Good both as a Monk or a Knight class. | Weak support spells when playing as Monk. |
Some units have very narrow fields of application, such as specific roles within dungeon runs, so don't ignore them even if they don't fit your team build perfectly.
| Unit | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Milana | Can quickly and efficiently detect traps. Has high Wisdom and Agility stats. Works much better as a Mage class. | Requires skill inheritance for effective Thief playstyle. |
| Flute | Buffs the fire resistance of all allies. Has high Wisdom and MP stat, making it a great Mage class. | Works only with water-type units. |
| Eckart | A decent Knight unit with high HP from the get-go. Also possesses a high Dexterity stat, which allows him to wield both one-handed and two-handed swords. | Has low Faint resistance. |
| Dino | When played as Mage class, capable of countering magic spells more effectively when inheriting skills. | Not very effective as Thief class. |
| Amelia | Useful in dungeon runs for detecting and disarming traps. Has high wind damage tolerance. | Requires Thief skill inheritance to be effective. |
