I just HATE people who copy/plagiarize other people’s work and call it their

of other people’s work. It’s also ILLEGAL in every state and country.
Patchwork plagiarism is also illegal. This means that someone copies someone
else’s work, changes a few words and/or paragraphs, and claims that it is an
original work. In other words: DON’T DO IT without my permission!!!!!!

Information on this FAQ:
This FAQ is a database on every character in the game. Well, to be more
precise, this FAQ tells you everything you need to know about every character
that can fight in a battle. It tells you their strengths and weaknesses, and
is an all-around FAQ for you character selection needs. If you are having a
hard time choosing a character for your main party, this FAQ will tell you
which characters are the best characters in the game according to stats,
physical strength, and magical strength.
I started writing this FAQ after I had leveled up my characters to an average
level of 58. My main characters at the end of the game had obviously gone up
to a higher level because they could not be removed from the party. I
decided that level 58 was a reasonable level to make the average level
because it's the level where leveling up past 58 would become a chore. Other
characters had gone past level 58 while I was still experimenting with the
Fortune Rune. They had actually gone past 58 to somewhere in the 60s. Then,
I changed my pattern of leveling-up and decided I would use a Codebreaker to
make my characters' levels shoot to 99 just to see how powerful they'd really
get. I'd do that so you'd see, too.
SPOILER NOTICE!
This FAQ will try to remain spoiler free, but be warned, as with any FAQ,
information will be revealed that you probably won't know had you not read
this FAQ. I went out of my way to max out every character in the game so I
could make a FAQ for you. That means that I maxed out my characters at the
end of the game, so certain areas and people are in here that reveal much
about the end of the game. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Mwahahaha.....

General Rating: *****
1) About this class of characters:
These characters are classified due to their extremely well-balanced
performance. They have strong physical and magical strengths. Their stats
are all relatively high. Their weapons are very sharp at level 16, and they
are not swordsman. There is another class for the swordsman. These
characters are strong physically and magically, but have weapons other than
swords. To give you an idea of what kind of character this is, think of Tir
McDohl, the Hero. These warriors are few, as I could only find three
characters that fit this description. Tir, however, far outclasses the other
two, so don't come whining to me about these characters because they're are
gods like Tir is.
1.1) Tir McDohl
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 158
Recommended Rune: Soul Eater
Stats at Level 68:
HP 712 PWR 168 SPD 189 SKL 195 MGC 162 DEF 150 LUK 172
Magic Points: 8/7/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 858 PWR 188 SPD 215 SKL 220 MGC 178 DEF 168 LUK 178
Magic Points: 9/8/6/4
Evaluation: He's the hero of the game, so you'll know him better than anyone.
He's a powerhouse when it comes to attacking strength, and he can kill
everyone on the screen when he gets his Hell attack. His Judgment attack is
the most powerful attack in the game as well. Nevertheless, he's the best
character in the game when it comes down to all the goods he has.
1.2) Camille
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Rage Rune/ Fire Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 608 PWR 140 SPD 145 SKL 200 MGC 143 DEF 123 LUK 100
Magic Points: 8/5/4/1
Stats at Level 99:
HP 816 PWR 165 SPD 168 SKL 242 MGC 170 DEF 144 LUK 125
Magic Points: 8/7/6/4
Evaluation: She's a good fighter all-around. She's really good with physical
attacks, but she doesn't get as many magic points as Tir. I'm sure that,
based off her level 58 stats, she'd get one more level 4 magic point if I
raised her to level 59. Anyways, put her in a party with Tir and she'll be a
good multi-enemy attacker. Combine the two and you have a strong multi-enemy
attacker and a strong single-enemy attacker. It's great for the final
battle!
1.3) Mina
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 158
Recommended Rune: Resurrection Rune/ Flowing Rune/ Water Rune/
Stats at Level 58:
HP 434 PWR 81 SPD 133 SKL 125 MGC 159 DEF 123 LUK 171
Magic Points: 8/6/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 635 PWR 105 SPD 160 SKL 150 MGC 191 DEF 148 LUK 199
Magic Points: 9/8/7/5
Evaluation: Ok, she really isn't the strongest physically, but she'd easily
bypass Tir in the magic department. Most of her other stats are on par to
Tir's. Most of her stats came really close to his when I leveled her up when
Tir was around level 61 or so. That's why I decided to put her here in this
class instead of any other class. The only reason why she'd belong in
another class is that she's an S ranged character. But since she attacks
with a shawl, I had no other place to put her. (She's not a magical
swordsman. She has no sword.) Mina's an odd one, she is. No one else is
like her.
*****************************************************************************
************************2) The Magical Swordsmen*****************************
*****************************************************************************
General Rating: *****
2) About this class of characters:
These characters are almost exactly the same as The Powerhouse Magicians,
except that these guys use swords. Think of Flik. His magical strength is
high, along with his physical strength. But Flik is not the only one. There
are a total of six characters in this class. Each should be given a
different magic rune for variety.
2.1) Flik
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Lightning Rune/ Cyclone Rune/ Thunder Rune
Stats at Level 68:
HP 723 PWR 170 SPD 167 SKL 175 MGC 146 DEF 129 LUK 133
Magic Points: 8/6/4/2
Stats at Level 99:
HP 877 PWR 188 SPD 194 SKL 192 MGC 161 DEF 150 LUK 149
Magic Points: 8/6/4/2
Evaluation: Flik the Blue Lightning is just one of those characters you can't
go without (literally!). I actually give Flik a Cyclone Rune because you can
remove his Lightning Rune, but Grenseal can't remove his Thunder Rune. So, I
make a balanced army with each Magical Swordsman having a different rune.
2.2) Alen
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended
Rune: Rage Rune
Stats at Level 59:
HP 680 PWR 166 SPD 123 SKL 119 MGC 147 DEF 146 LUK 122
Magic Points: 8/6/4/2
Stats at Level 99:
HP 872 PWR 191 SPD 148 SKL 145 MGC 166 DEF 170 LUK 144
Magic Points: 8/7/6/3
Evaluation: Alen is a personal favorite. His is very much like Flik, and we
know how good Flik is, don't we? Well, Alen is even better at magic than
Flik is, so he'll get more spells to cast than Flik. (Remeber, we're
comparing Alen to a lower level Flik. Alen had more MP than Flik at the time
I trained Alen.) He's not as strong physically, but not by much.
2.3) Grenseal
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Thunder Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 606 PWR 141 SPD 141 SKL 122 MGC 157 DEF 143 LUK 103
Magic Points: 8/6/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 815 PWR 168 SPD 168 SKL 149 MGC 189 DEF 170 LUK 129
Magic Points: 9/8/7/5
Evaluation: Despite the fact the Grenseal comes with a Thunder Rune and is a
Master Swordsman, I never really got into using him. His stats are lower
than I feel that they should be, and Flik is a good replacement until you get
a Cyclone Rune. His HP has taken a big hit when compared to Alen and Flik,
but his Magic is more powerful than Alen's.
2.4) Sonya
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Flowing Rune/ Water Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 656 PWR 159 SPD 181 SKL 151 MGC 142 DEF 125 LUK 110
Magic Points: 8/5/4/1
Stats at Level 99:
HP 860 PWR 188 SPD 216 SKL 175 MGC 175 DEF 154 LUK 135
Magic Points: 9/7/6/4
Evaluation: Sonya has high stats in all areas. She also ranks third for HP
in the Magical Swordsman class. She's not as good with magic, though, but a
Flowing Rune will work well since the healing spells don't change much from
the last three levels of MP.
2.5) Milich
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Mother Earth Rune/ Earth Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 613 PWR 146 SPD 127 SKL 128 MGC 161 DEF 147 LUK 64
Magic Points: 8/7/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 820 PWR 171 SPD 152 SKL 151 MGC 192 DEF 175 LUK 78
Magic Points: 9/8/7/5
Evaluation: Peacock Man is actually a good fighter when it all boils down to
numbers. He doesn't have much Luck (imagine that), but he's good at casting
spells. He's a good fighter until you get Alen and Grenseal. You might want
to use him until you get them.
2.6) Sheena
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Lightning Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 613 PWR 146 SPD 156 SKL 130 MGC 160 DEF 144 LUK 160
Magic Points: 8/6/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 816 PWR 175 SPD 187 SKL 153 MGC 180 DEF 169 LUK 187
Magic Points: 9/8/6/4
Evaluation: Surprisingly, he's a very well-rounded character with high stats.
I thought this slacker was good only for chasing girls. ^_^ Anyways, I
never used him, but he's a good fighter. You're stuck with his Lightning
Rune, though.

3) About this class of characters:
These characters are also few, as they some of the few characters who have an
L range attack plus plenty of spells to spare. If you think of Cleo, then
you're right on with the type of character this is. There are also six
characters in this class, and oddly, all of the elves all fit nicely in this
class (excpet for Stallion). Elves are sometimes forgotten when it comes
down to picking a good party, but they are powerful support fire fighters if
you sharpen their weapons and give them a good rune.
3.1) Cleo
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Flowing Rune
Stats at Level 59:
HP 611 PWR 142 SPD 161 SKL 169 MGC 168 DEF 147 LUK 92
Magic Points: 8/7/6/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 802 PWR 161 SPD 186 SKL 201 MGC 195 DEF 167 LUK 108
Magic Points: 9/9/7/5
Evaluation: The best part about Cleo is you get her early in the game. Once
you get to the Cave of the Past, you will find a chest with a Flowing Crystal
in it. Give Cleo the Flowing Rune and the rest of the game will go smoothly.
Take a look at her stats. Quite high, aren't they?
3.2) Tengaar
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Rage Rune
Stats at Level 59:
HP 492 PWR 101 SPD 142 SKL 162 MGC 182 DEF 129 LUK 81
Magic Points: 9/8/6/4
Stats at Level 99:
HP 696 PWR 125 SPD 167 SKL 186 MGC 220 DEF 156 LUK 108
Magic Points: 9/9/8/7
Evaluation: She's a personal favorite of mine. Give her a Rage Rune and pair
her up with Flik, Cleo, and Alen and you have a perfect party. Tengaar has a
lot of MP, but she only gets 492 HP at level 59. But if you put her in the
back row and give Cleo a Flowing Rune, Tengaar will stay alive for a good
long while. To get a Rage Rune, you can fight monsters in Moravia or visit
Neclord's organ room. There's a hidden Rage Rune in a chest directly south
of the center of the organ.
3.3) Kirkis
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 155
Recommended Rune: Resurrection Rune/ Rage Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 600 PWR 143 SPD 158 SKL 204 MGC 140 DEF 139 LUK 105
Magic Points: 7/5/4/1
Stats at Level 99:
HP 803 PWR 173 SPD 193 SKL 245 MGC 167 DEF 166 LUK 127
Magic Points: 8/7/6/3
Evaluation: He's the weakest as far as Magic goes, but he does well in
shooting the enemy down. I usually give him a Resurrection Rune because
there are already five other people in this class. The other five people
have a rune, with each being a different element.
3.4) Sylvina
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 155
Recommended Rune: Cyclone Rune/ Wind Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 479 PWR 102 SPD 157 SKL 140 MGC 144 DEF 111 LUK 165
Magic Points: 8/7/4/2
Stats at Level 99:
HP 686 PWR 128 SPD 187 SKL 165 MGC 170 DEF 135 LUK 189
Magic Points: 8/7/6/4
Evaluation: She doesn't have much HP, Defense, and Power, but her other stats
are pretty good. She's got several spells to cast, but not as many as some
of the other Long-Ranged Magicians.
3.5) Rubi
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 155
Recommended Rune: Thunder Rune/ Lightning Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 608 PWR 144 SPD 166 SKL 162 MGC 164 DEF 123 LUK 45
Magic Points: 8/7/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 810 PWR 167 SPD 198 SKL 195 MGC 195 DEF 149 LUK 57
Magic Points: 9/9/7/5
Evaluation: When I first started playing Suikoden, Rubi was one of those
characters I used a lot. She's quite good with magic, she's speedy, and she
has high stats in every department except Luck. Needless to say, she's a
good pick.
3.6) Eileen
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Mother Earth Rune/ Earth Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 425 PWR 83 SPD 156 SKL 126 MGC 182 DEF 85 LUK 142
Magic Points: 9/8/6/4
Stats at Level 99:
HP 633 PWR 108 SPD 188 SKL 151 MGC 222 DEF 108 LUK 165
Magic Points: 9/9/9/7
Evaluation: A nice amount of MP, but Tengaar is better. Eileen has the
lowest HP and Power of this class, so you'll want someone else besides her.

4) About this class of characters:
These characters are much more powerful in the magical sense, but much less
powerful in the physical sense. In general, they have many spells to cast,
so giving them high-level runes is a must. They are characterized by their
weapon, which is either a staff or a rod. These weapons are the weakest
weapons in the game, as they usually only get 130 attack points. Two of the
characters don't even belong in this class because they don't get much MP,
but they have a staff and a rod, so I decided to put them in this class just
because of their weapon.
4.1) Luc
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Cyclone Rune
Stats at Level 60:
HP 341 PWR 47 SPD 163 SKL 137 MGC 227 DEF 60 LUK 62
Magic Points: 9/9/8/6
Stats at Level 99:
HP 506 PWR 58 SPD 190 SKL 162 MGC 266 DEF 79 LUK 78
Magic Points: 9/9/9/9
Evaluation: He's not too friendly, especially to monsters. He has tons of
MPs, but his Defense, HP, Power and Luck are all quite weak. Keep him in the
back row, even though he is a S range character.
4.2) Crowley
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Thunder Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 430 PWR 80 SPD 140 SKL 100 MGC 220 DEF 72 LUK 105
Magic Points: 9/9/8/6
Stats at Level 99:
HP 627 PWR 101 SPD 163 SKL 129 MGC 262 DEF 90 LUK 129
Magic Points: 9/9/9/9
Evaluation: Mr. Magic himself, Crowley boasts the highest MP in the game.
At level 58, his magic power is at an amazing 220 points! He's also fast
with a speed of 140. I give him a Thunder Rune and give his Cyclone Rune to
Luc. Surely, you don't need two Full-Fledged Magicians with Cyclone Runes?
Crowley does very well with a Thunder Rune.
4.3) Hellion
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Mother Earth Rune
HP 377 PWR 63 SPD 103 SKL 58 MGC 189 DEF 98 LUK 123
Magic Points: 9/8/7/5
Stats at Level 99:
HP 550 PWR 84 SPD 127 SKL 77 MGC 227 DEF 122 LUK 148
Magic Points: 9/9/9/7
Evaluation: She's not as powerful as Crowley, and the fact that she's limited
to her Mother Earth Rune casts her away to the sidelines. The Mother Earth
Rune isn't too great, even though it's a high-level rune. But it never hurts
to have a diverse army. ^_^ Her stats are lower than Crowley's (with the
exception of Defense and Luck). She's just not the greatest fighter. Her MP
is always welcome, though, so she'll support the party well enough.
4.4) Fukien
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Resurrection Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 431 PWR 76 SPD 138 SKL 106 MGC 153 DEF 118 LUK 149
Magic Points: 8/6/5/2
Stats at Level 99:
HP 639 PWR 101 SPD 157 SKL 129 MGC 179 DEF 140 LUK 172
Magic Points: 9/8/6/4
Evaluation: The worst magician out of the lot, Fukien has a rare Resurrection
Rune. It cannot be removed, so if you want another Resurrection Rune, you'll
have to fight in the Warrior's Village area. Fukien is a well balanced
fighter, with both healing spells and attack spells. He's also good with
physical attacks, and his defense ability is higher than the other mages.
4.5) Lotte
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Flowing Rune/ Water Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 483 PWR 106 SPD 143 SKL 129 MGC 161 DEF 114 LUK 117
Magic Points: 8/7/5/3
Stats at Level 99:
HP 699 PWR 131 SPD 171 SKL 157 MGC 189 DEF 138 LUK 144
Magic Points: 9/8/7/5
Evaluation: She has a good spell-casting ability, and her physical power is
higher than most of the other magicians. If you have a team of magicians,
put her in the front row. A Flowing Rune will help keep everyone healthy.
4.6) Liukan
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Rage Rune/ Killer Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 478 PWR 97 SPD 129 SKL 179 MGC 108 DEF 105 LUK 142
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 691 PWR 122 SPD 152 SKL 218 MGC 128 DEF 127 LUK 171
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: Liukan really shouldn't belong here. It's just that I lumped
everyone with a staff into this class. Oddly enough, he can equip a shield.
4.7) Kamandol
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Counter Rune/ Turtle Rune/ Champion's Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 543 PWR 125 SPD 114 SKL 184 MGC 103 DEF 88 LUK 90
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 742 PWR 148 SPD 144 SKL 220 MGC 128 DEF 103 LUK 111
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: Just like Liukan, Kamandol does not belong in this class. His
magical power is much like an Average Fighter's magical power, which is
pretty limited. The only reason he's in this class is because he has a weak
weapon -- his rod. His physical stats are high, though, so he would be
better in the front line with an attacking-type rune. Better yet, don't use
him at all.

General Rating: ***
5) About this class of characters:
These characters are characterized by either there top-notch attacking
capabilities or their top-notch defensive capabilities. In general, these
guys can equip heavy armor, but not all of them can equip the heaviest stuff.
They all should have a weapon with a high attacking power, which usually is
at or above 160 attack points. Most of these guys suck at magic, so make
sure you put them in the front of the party and not the back.
5.1) Viktor
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 185
Recommended Rune: Killer Rune
Stats at Level 68:
HP 669 PWR 180 SPD 142 SKL 93 MGC 105 DEF 183 LUK 135
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 842 PWR 204 SPD 160 SKL 108 MGC 125 DEF 209 LUK 151
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: What can I say? Viktor's a bear. With a 185 attack power sword
(the best weapon in the game) and a 180 base power, Viktor is an extreme
front-line party member. He can't equip heavy armor, but his Defense is
naturally high, so he should be able to take the hits and come back for more.
Give him a Killer Rune and he'll be doing over 1000 damage to some enemies.
5.2) Humphrey
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 160
Recommended Rune: Killer Rune
Stats at Level 58:

Evaluation: Humphrey definitely falls into the category of the "strong and
silent type." He's a tank. He can equip the heaviest armor and has a 160
attack power sword. His natural power is definitely geared toward chopping
monsters in half. Give him a Killer Rune and he'll do tons of damage. Also
note that you'll wnat to build him up in this game for transfer over to
Suikoden II. I haven't tested this yet, but if you give him a Windspun
Armor, he'll get a Windspun Armor in Suikoden II when you transfer the file.
Sweet!

Magic Points: 7/5/4/1
Evaluation: Every stat is above 110, so she's well-balanced. Her Falcon Rune
is quite good, as it does a lot of damage without making her go unbalanced.
The Power and Defense are both high, adding to her endurance and attacking
power.
5.4) Milia

Defense are quite high. The Speed is nice, too.
5.5) Kasim

Stats at Level 99:
HP 936 PWR 225 SPD 122 SKL 152 MGC 80 DEF 193 LUK 114
Magic Points: 5/2/1/0
Evaluation: He's built for power, but not built for defense. Kasim can't
equip a Windspun Armor, but he can equip a Horned Helmet. High power is
high, so he'll do a lot of damage. I gave him a Counter Rune because I have
most of my fighters equipped with a Killer Rune. Therefore, I decided on a
little variety.
5.6) Kwanda
Range: M

Magic Points: 5/2/1/0
Evaluation: With the ability to equip heavy armor, Kwanda is a good pick for
the Rock-Solid Fighter class. He has a sharp axe, too, and a Killer Rune
helps him do even more damage. The best part is, he can attack from the back
row.
5.7) Varkas

Evaluation: His HP isn't as high as it should be for a Rock-Solid Fighter.
His Power and Defense are high though. He has a 170 attack power axe and he
can equip heavy armor. He's good in the back row, too.
5.8) Pesmerga

Stats at Level 99:
HP 1024 PWR 249 SPD 123 SKL 101 MGC 77 DEF 192 LUK 58
Magic Points: 5/2/1/0
Evaluation: The best thing about Pesmerga is that he's looks cool. You gotta
love that pitch-black armor! Heh. As a fighter, his stats are killer. He's
got plenty of HP, Power, and Defense points. His other stats aren't so hot
though, but he doesn't really need them. Build him up for Suikoden II.
Also, I'd recommend you give him the Clone Rune. I haven't done any testing,
but he might get a Clone Rune is Suikoden II, too! He's the only character
that can use a Clone Rune and isn't part of the main story in S2. The
chances are highest for Pesmerga to transfer the Clone Rune over. Don't cry
to me if he doesn't get it, though. After I leveled him up to Level 99, I
noticed his HP breaks 1000! WOW!

quite high, so you can really tell that he belongs here. He's very close in
power to Humphrey.

Magic Points: 4/1/0/0
Evaluation: Take a look at the HP! Take a look at that Power! Take a look
at that Defense! Now take a look at that Speed, Skill, and Magic. You can
tell he's really gone to the extremes with trading magical power for physical
power. Speed really doesn't matter for him. When you deal out that much
damage with a 170 attack point axe, it really doesn't matter if you're the
last one to attack. (Final ATK = 424!) Also, take a look at his final HP at
level 99! It broke 1000! WOW!

here. He can do lots of damage, but his defense should be higher than what
it is.

Evaluation: Wow, I never believed a farmer would belong in the Rock-Solid
Fighter class. But his stats show that he definitely belongs here. His how
has an amazing 170 attack points and he can equip Windspun Armor, so he
definitely belongs here. He has a weaker HP, but with a 300 point Defense,
that really doesn't matter.

General Rating: ***
6) About this class of characters:
Well, duh. These guys are martial artists. Pahn comes to mind when you want
to make a class for these characters. There were enough of them to put in a
single class, and I thought I'd give them special recognition because they
can all equip special runes. It makes sense, right? Overall, these are good
characters, but they are easily outclassed by the characters previously
mentioned.
6.1) Pahn
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Boar Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 716 PWR 193 SPD 90 SKL 148 MGC 47 DEF 168 LUK 125

Stats at Level 99:
HP 935 PWR 231 SPD 112 SKL 174 MGC 60 DEF 196 LUK 150
Magic Points: 4/1/0/0
Evaluation: Pahn is definitely the best Martial Artist statistically. He has
lots of HP, Power, Skill, and Defense. Obviously, he doesn't need Magic
since you can't remove his Boar Rune. His Power is well complimented by his
170 attack power claws.
6.2) Ronnie
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Hate Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 664 PWR 162 SPD 129 SKL 125 MGC 42 DEF 157 LUK 102

Stats at Level 99:
HP 870 PWR 188 SPD 149 SKL 148 MGC 56 DEF 188 LUK 129
Magic Points: 4/1/0/0
Evaluation: Ronnie is faster than Pahn, but that's about it. She has a Hate
Rune, which is nice. It casts a fireball and doesn't cause her to go
unbalanced. She's the best Martial Artist in my book.
6.3) Morgan
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Boar Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 662 PWR 159 SPD 91 SKL 103 MGC 49 DEF 144 LUK 66
Magic Points: 3/1/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 867 PWR 191 SPD 111 SKL 123 MGC 63 DEF 167 LUK 85
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Evaluation: First off, replace his Counter Rune with a Boar Rune. You can
get a Boar Crystal in the Village of the Hidden Rune or from the boars at the
Dwarfs' vault. He's just like Pahn after that, except that most of his stats
are lower by either a small amount or a slightly larger amount.
6.4) Eikei
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Double-Beat Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 613 PWR 143 SPD 95 SKL 132 MGC 47 DEF 144 LUK 101

Stats at Level 99:
HP 820 PWR 170 SPD 114 SKL 158 MGC 68 DEF 168 LUK 124
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Evaluation: Alright, he's not a top-notch fighter. In my opinion, he's the
worst martial artist. The Double-Beat Rune is nice, but useless if there is
only one enemy. I have a feeling you can get his Double-Beat Rune elsewhere,
but I have not found a location. I used a Codebreaker and you can attach the
Double-Beat Rune to any characters and it will not glitch up the game.

General Rating: **
7) About this class of characters:
This is basically everyone else, with a few exceptions. These characters
aren't horrible because their stats are pretty high. These characters are
basically in the game for your amusement or if you want a challenge. I'm
going to put them in groups as there are so many of them.
********************************************
*****7.S) Short Ranged Average Fighters*****

Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: Even though Lepant is a major player in the events in Suikoden,
he's easily outclassed by some of the other fighters. His stats are quite
high, so you might want to use him sometimes.
7.S.2) Kuromimi

Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: He's got above-average stats, but he's still not good enough to
be in the Rock-Solid Fighter class. The best part about him is he can equip
Gold Necklaces, the strongest accessory in the game.
7.S.3) Hix
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150

Stats at Level 58:

Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: Hix is more of a burden when you get him. You have to fight a
really tough boss, and you're stuck with plain-old average Hix. Make sure
you level him up, though, because he makes an appearance in Suikoden II.
7.S.4) Griffith

Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: He's not a good fighter, but overall, his stats are decent. His
best stats help him in what he's good at, when compared to some of those
Horrible Fighter Class people. Somewhat poor HP and average Power and
Defense.
7.S.5) Gen

HP 878 PWR 193 SPD 143 SKL 170 MGC 97 DEF 148 LUK 154
Magic Points: 6/3/2/0
Evaluation: He almost belongs with the Horrible Fighters. It's just that his
HP and Skill helps bring him up into the Average Fighter class. His Speed is
pretty nice, too. His power really gets boosted from level 58 to 99, though.
7.S.6) Gon
Range: S

Magic Points: 6/4/3/0
Evaluation: Gon is definitely average, almost below-average. He has low HP's
and there's nothing magical about him, but he boasts an extremely high Luck
stat. Defense is pretty good, too, and he can equip Gold Necklaces, the most
powerful accessory in the game.

7.M.1) Gremio
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170

Stats at Level 99:
HP 749 PWR 193 SPD 124 SKL 167 MGC 106 DEF 190 LUK 169
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: To think that you're stuck with Gremio for most of the game.
Sure, he's got a nice personality, but leave him off the battlefield. He's
got weakling Power and HP, but his Skill, Defense, Luck, and his 170 attack
power axe all help bring him up into the average fighter class. But then
again, look at how his power changes from level 64 to level 99! It went up
by 100 points! No, I didn't get his stats mixed up with some else's. They
just take a real jump. Maybe it's because I gave him a Phero Rune. Maybe
it's natural.

Stats at Level 99:
HP 867 PWR 190 SPD 120 SKL 131 MGC 87 DEF 155 LUK 131
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Evaluation: He's got a nice HP total and his power is way up there, but every
other stat is pretty crappy. The main reason he's an Average Fighter and not
a Horrible Fighter is the fact that he's the only character who can do a
Unite Attack with Tir. This attack hits every enemy on the screen for some
big damage.
7.M.5) Futch
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150

Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: Futch is a character you should build up solely for a transfer
from Suikoden I to Suikoden II. He's fast, but weaker than others
physically. He's more of a defensive fighter than an attacking fighter.
7.M.6) Kessler

Evaluation: Anji is a personal favorite. If you can manage to get him early
in the game, he'll be a big help in some battles. He's a good physical
fighter, so give him a try at least once. High HP, too.
7.M.8) Kanak

7.M.11) Mace

Evaluation: The worst part about Mace is you can't sharpen his weapon to

than that, he's an above-average fighter, but not someone you should really
use.

HP 540 PWR 126 SPD 133 SKL 170 MGC 81 DEF 123 LUK 128
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 739 PWR 147 SPD 145 SKL 196 MGC 105 DEF 146 LUK 153
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: Most of his stats are lower than Meese's, which surprises my a
bit. Moose is just one more of those blacksmiths you get, and is nobody
special.
7.M.14) Maas
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Turtle Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 542 PWR 126 SPD 122 SKL 145 MGC 85 DEF 125 LUK 126

Stats at Level 99:
HP 749 PWR 152 SPD 142 SKL 172 MGC 107 DEF 150 LUK 150
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: Let him do blacksmith work early in the game. He's an average
fighter, but he really someone you should consider.
7.M.15) Lester
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Turtle Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 536 PWR 134 SPD 152 SKL 130 MGC 62 DEF 108 LUK 138

Evaluation: He's better at fighting than Antonio, but is still nothing
special. His stats are at a fair level.

7.L.1) Kasumi
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Shrike Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 603 PWR 144 SPD 214 SKL 165 MGC 123 DEF 128 LUK 107
Magic Points: 7/4/3/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 815 PWR 169 SPD 257 SKL 193 MGC 147 DEF 147 LUK 134
Magic Points: 8/6/4/2
Evaluation: She's good from the back row, and her Shrike Rune is a nice
addition. She's fast and all of her stats are above 100, but what's she
going to do with all that MP? Low Hp brings her down into the average
fighter class. You'll want to level her up for Suikoden II.
7.L.2) Sydonia
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Killer Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 539 PWR 134 SPD 182 SKL 166 MGC 99 DEF 100 LUK 80
Magic Points: 6/3/2/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 747 PWR 160 SPD 213 SKL 195 MGC 132 DEF 126 LUK 100
Magic Points: 7/5/4/1
Evaluation: She's got good base stats, but overall, she's not the greatest
fighter.
7.L.3) Clive
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Gale Rune/ Killer Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 666 PWR 164 SPD 158 SKL 211 MGC 78 DEF 99 LUK 68
Magic Points: 5/2/1/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 872 PWR 193 SPD 186 SKL 254 MGC 100 DEF 121 LUK 86
Magic Points: 6/3/2/0
Evaluation: This is a character I would recommend you use at least once. If
you transfer your file to Suikoden II, some of Clive's stats will be
transferred over. He's not very good with magic, but his core stats (other
than Defense and Luck) are quite high. His HP is quite high, so that's a
plus, too.
7.L.4) Lorelai
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 155
Recommended Rune: Hazy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 600 PWR 147 SPD 102 SKL 188 MGC 82 DEF 118 LUK 88
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 803 PWR 169 SPD 130 SKL 229 MGC 105 DEF 143 LUK 109
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: She's not as good at magic as some, but her physical power is
high. Level her up for Suikoden II.
7.L.5) Kage
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Holy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 538 PWR 133 SPD 188 SKL 167 MGC 107 DEF 140 LUK 100
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 745 PWR 158 SPD 227 SKL 200 MGC 134 DEF 169 LUK 126
Magic Points: 7/5/4/1
Evaluation: Kage has never been too much of a favorite of mine since I've
played Suikoden II. Sure, his stats are good in Suikoden I, but poor magical
ability and poor HP keep him as an Average Fighter. The Speed's nice,
though. He actuall gets few spells at level 99, but no one really levels
their characters up that high unless they have a Codebreaker or Gameshark.
7.L.6) Fuma
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Hazy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 598 PWR 145 SPD 164 SKL 145 MGC 60 DEF 136 LUK 105
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 810 PWR 166 SPD 196 SKL 170 MGC 81 DEF 156 LUK 127
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Evaluation: His magic is horrible, but otherwise, he's an average fighter.
He's a long range fighter, and is pretty strong physically, but that's about
all there is to him. I recommend you don't use him.
7.L.7) Sarah
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Spark Rune/ Hazy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 613 PWR 145 SPD 110 SKL 103 MGC 128 DEF 145 LUK 80
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 814 PWR 168 SPD 135 SKL 124 MGC 147 DEF 174 LUK 106
Magic Points: 8/6/4/2
Evaluation: Most of her stats are above 100, which is nice. He also has a
good 600 HP at Level 58. She's good physically, but like many others, there
isn't anything too special about her. If you're diligent, though, you can
boost her level like crazy and you'll get a lot of spells. Take a look at
how her MP changes from Level 58 to Level 99. She'd be a good spell caster
if her MP would go up faster. But since she doesn't get many spells really
fast, she falls into the Average Fighter class.
7.L.8) Meg
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Trick Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 536 PWR 126 SPD 123 SKL 145 MGC 117 DEF 126 LUK 206
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 735 PWR 150 SPD 155 SKL 171 MGC 145 DEF 154 LUK 246
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Evaluation: She does much better than her uncle. Her stats are much higher
and they actually support her skills. In fact all of her stats are above 100
points at level 58. To get a Trick Rune, fight monsters in the Dwarf's
Vault. Level her up for Suikoden II.
7.L.9) Quincy
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Spark Rune/ Hazy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 541 PWR 123 SPD 153 SKL 210 MGC 63 DEF 145 LUK 141
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 741 PWR 144 SPD 177 SKL 250 MGC 82 DEF 168 LUK 168
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Evaluation: Her halfway-decent HP, Power, and Defense barely keep her in the
Average Fighter class. Skill is nice, and her only really bad stat is Magic.
Therefore, she's best with an attacking or defensive rune.
*****************************************************************************
************************8) The Horrible Fighters*****************************
*****************************************************************************
General Rating: *
8) About this class of characters:
These characters are characters you should never use unless you want a true
challenge. They are based on horrible HP and horrible MP. Use these
characters if you want to do a challenge like Final Fantasy X's No Sphere
Grid Challenge or Final Fantasy Tactic's Same Job Class Challenge. These
characters should be forgotten otherwise.
8.1) Krin
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Hazy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 480 PWR 91 SPD 209 SKL 158 MGC 58 DEF 79 LUK 61
Magic Points: 4/1/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 693 PWR 110 SPD 250 SKL 186 MGC 76 DEF 103 LUK 79
Magic Points: 5/2/1/0
Evaluation: God, please wipe that dazed look off his face. Make it so he
isn't laughing all the time. Krin is my least favorite character because
he's got horrible stats and a bad personality.
8.2) Stallion
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 155
Recommended Rune: True Holy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 483 PWR 108 SPD 211 SKL 160 MGC 120 DEF 142 LUK 122
Magic Points: 6/4/3/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 700 PWR 129 SPD 254 SKL 194 MGC 139 DEF 162 LUK 148
Magic Points: 7/5/4/1
Evaluation: Now you may ask yourself, "What is Stallion doing here? I like
Stallion!" That's probably because you like his rune, not the character
himself. His rune speeds up over world travel, which is nice, but it's
totally useless in a fight. Besides, you'll be teleporting everywhere soon
after you recruit him, so he gets thrown by the wayside. The stats he needs
the most (Power and HP), are low. Sure, the speed is nice, but normal
attacks won't do as much damage. You should really be able to give him
another rune.
8.3) Juppo
Range: L
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 150
Recommended Rune: Trick Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 485 PWR 105 SPD 128 SKL 179 MGC 127 DEF 126 LUK 152
Magic Points: 7/5/3/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 699 PWR 129 SPD 158 SKL 213 MGC 144 DEF 153 LUK 182
Magic Points: 8/5/4/2
Evaluation: If you look at his stats, you might be thinking, "Why is Juppo in
the Horrbile Fighter Class?" The reason is simple. The stats that do him a
lot of good don't really help him in battle. Why does he have all that MP
when he can't even cast spells? Look at that HP! Weak! Look at that Power!
Weak! He has good stats, but they don't really contribute to what he really
should have.
8.4) Sergei
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 130
Recommended Rune: Holy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 429 PWR 84 SPD 95 SKL 166 MGC 85 DEF 164 LUK 88
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 634 PWR 102 SPD 117 SKL 194 MGC 103 DEF 196 LUK 106
Magic Points: 6/4/2/0
Evaluation: Take a look at those crappy stats. Four of them are below 100!
His HP is way too low and his weapon sucks! His Skill and Defense are high,
but since he cannot do any damage, ditch him. He makes a great punching bag
due to his defense. :D
8.5) Sansuke
Range: S
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 160
Recommended Rune: Killer Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 486 PWR 106 SPD 132 SKL 145 MGC 64 DEF 140 LUK 119
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 694 PWR 129 SPD 155 SKL 169 MGC 85 DEF 162 LUK 146
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Evaluation: Just like everyone else in this section, he's absolutely
horrible! His mains stats are low, he has a crappy HP, and his MP sucks!
Maybe, if he had another 50 attack points and 200 HPs, he'd belong in the
Rock Solid Fighter class, but since he doesn't, so he belongs here.
8.6) Antonio
Range: M
Weapon Level 16 Attack Power: 170
Recommended Rune: Holy Rune
Stats at Level 58:
HP 490 PWR 110 SPD 130 SKL 113 MGC 65 DEF 106 LUK 106
Magic Points: 4/2/0/0
Stats at Level 99:
HP 702 PWR 132 SPD 156 SKL 136 MGC 84 DEF 129 LUK 131
Magic Points: 5/3/1/0
Evaluation: Absolutely horrible! No magical talent. His stats are horrible.
He can't stay up long in a good fight. Sure, his weapon gets 170 attack
points, but his Power is so low that it doesn't help much. Leave him in the
kitchen and be done with it. He's only good for giving him a Holy Rune so
you can run fast (which is totally useless in a battle).

************************11) FAQ**********************************************
*****************************************************************************
This section will cover the most frequently asked questions about character
recruitment. It's small now, but I plan to update it when I get more
e-mails.
SUPER SPOILER NOTICE!
The intro says stuff about me trying to be spoiler free. Well this section
reveals a big chunk of information about the end of the game.
Q: How do I revive Gremio?
A: You must recruit all 108 Stars before marching across the Gregminster
Boarder. That is, to say, you must recruit everyone before the war scene.
If you talk to Mathiu, he will ask for a pep talk. Leknaat will appear and
talk to your troops. The scene will then shift to the Gregminster boarder.
Yuber and Kanaan will be talking about their troops. Now go back to the part
that I just talked about before this scene. If Leknaat does not revive
Gremio in the pep talk, reset the game and recruit those Stars you have not
recruited.
NOTE: Do not let anyone die. This includes Pahn in the battle with Teo.
Q: How do I get the Window Crystal and Crowley?
A: There are two hidden passages in the Cave of the Past a Qlon temple. To
find them, travel through the cave as normal. At a couple points in the
cave, you start at the top-left portion of the screen. The cave then curves
right on the screen. Feel the south wall by walking into it. If you go
through it, you're in the right place. The passage is a straight path down.
The second passage is like a maze. Go down, right, down, left, down and you
should come out and find Crowley. Here's a diagram:

Thanks CJayC, the owner of the best website of all time.
Thanks to Konami for making a game based on my most favorite thing: character
recruitment.
And, of course, me, for going to all the trouble of making such a huge FAQ on
character statistics.
