Squadron Recruits

Any information if it makes a difference when you set 1x tank, 1x heal and 2x DPS than when just sending 4x DPS ?
Somehow i dont trust that calculator, even when it seems accurate...

Doesn't make any difference, each role simply has different attributes.

Healer seems to have most mental, while tanks have most physical, and damage dealers most tactical.

Actually, DPS are pretty much are all over the board.
BRD and NIN have a lot of tactical,
mages (THM and Arcanist) have a lot of mental, just like healers,
and MNK is fairly balanced for all 3 stats.
Haven't had a DRG yet but I think I saw a screenshot that their physical is pretty high?

Roles start mattering only when you have bonus chemistry stuff that only activates on certain conditions, like "have 4 lalas in your group" or "have one of each role in your group" etc.

Does anyone know the significance of the color that the squad member's names are while in Squadron Roster view?

I can't figure out what it means. I have two healers and one ninja with red names on the roster. The rest are blue.
The healers are rank 30,29 the ninja is 29. They all live in different areas and are not the same race or gender nor class/job. I just cant find a common denominator between the matching colors.

Also, What does "Mission Affinity" mean? Does it have any buffs or significance?
thanks for any info! I appreciate it.

If you have squad members who match the mission affinity, their chemisty gets a boost.

Thank you so much! I totally overlooked that it seems.

Forgot to mention, they also ignore their chemisty requirement. It's active regardless.

No. One of my members had a chemistry bonus that would be active if a pugilist were in the group (when I have no pugilists). That bonus is still not active even when I have mission affinity. It did, however change another member's 15% Str boost into a 30% Str boost, and would have changed another member's 10% chance at a Defense item drop into a 100% chance. But both of those had the requirement met.

When you meet both the mission affinity and the chemistry boost requirement, the chemistry boost section of the window will state that it's boosted by the affinity, and that fact goes in place of listing what the normal chemistry requirement is. But the normal requirement does still need to be met. If it's not met, the normal chemistry statement appears grayed out and inactive.
