Trust System Npcs

[Alathriel]

So i was wondering, is there a diffrence between the npcs in the trust system, not counting their jobs. Like is one better than the other at their roles, like is Y'shtola better than Alisaie, or Alphinaud than Urianger? for example.

Take this with a grain of salt. But I've heard people say Ryne is the best at... "sustained" DPS. I've also heard people usually prefer Alphinaud to Urianger because of Alphianud's shields and a damage buff he can give you.

Probably unrelated in some way, but I've seen Alisae cast "Vercure III" when things got really dicey. Healed all of us fairly good.

I don't know about dps. Supposedly, Uriangr is a more reliable healer but I haven't had issues with either.

I've also seen Alisae cast Veraise when Urianger somehow kicked the bucket, so she definitely has the utility there. Didn't find Alphinaud to be a reliable healer honestly...

Alphinaud died on me at one point, and being a summoner I cast Resurrect but I don't think it worked - I'm sure I saw the animation go off but he didn't get the Raise status. Still, he revived not long after and I assumed he just respawned, but it must have been Alisaie, so possibly only other NPCs can raise NPCs.

Either that or it's actually a scripted thing for the healer to die and Alisaie to Verraise them occasionally, because you wouldn't want it to happen without her there. (Y'shtola could still cast Raise, I guess, but not sure Minfilia would have it.)

Hmm I've no idea, I've only see Alisae do it just the once so probably need to do some more testing but I definitely remember her having a voiceline for it, like "back on your feet" or something like that. If Y'shtola can Raise as well that's handy to know, might tank and drop some aoes on one of the healers and see what happens.

I don't believe Y'shtola can raise. I had a run during msq (so I dunno if it changes when you have to actually level them) where Urianger somehow died and we had to skirt the last 15% of the boss without him. She never got him up.

I've never once seen any of the trusts die. I also haven't noticed much of an issue no matter who I bring; it's still way slower than with other players no matter what.

I don't actually know if she can raise or not - just that with her previous conjurer training and the Scions' general "not quite standard job skillset" approach, it seems logical that she might be able to. Especially since it would be useful backup when it seems that the healer AI is not guaranteed to keep themself alive.

I've played with my trusts a lot, I have some to lvl 80.

Ryne just from the eye test is the best DPS. I think Urianger is more dedicated to healing. I did big pulls and Thancred never died with Urianger, but he did a few times with Alphinaud in fewer dungeon runs. The only one that I've seen raise someone during a fight is Urianger. All of them can raise someone after a fight is over, even the non-casters.
