Three party builds that carried me through Emberfall Saga

The default party in Emberfall Saga is fine for the opening chapters, but it falls apart around the swamp boss. I hit a wall there until I rethought the whole team, and these three setups got me through the rest of the game.

The first build leans on a dedicated healer plus two hard hitters. It's slow but nearly unkillable, and it's what I'd recommend for anyone new to turn-based combat. You trade speed for safety, which is a good trade while you learn enemy patterns.

The second is a burst team — everyone stacked for damage, no healer. It's risky and it will lose you fights you weren't paying attention to, but against slower bosses it ends things before they get dangerous.

The third is a control build that stacks status effects. Stun, slow, poison. It's the most fun to play once it clicks, because you spend fights denying the enemy any turns at all. It takes the most setup, so save it for when you know a fight well.
