Tl dr, my main party is front line: W/H/S back line: B/B. Loud Nigra) (Brouni Deathguard Harbinger), Sakuya (from Touhou) (Therian Blade Dancer Masurao), and Stewie (from Family Guy) (Therian Hound Rover (yes the hound is named Brian)) for one floor of the 6th stratum. Because my headcanon plot called for it, Felix, Shrek, and Snoop got temporarily replaced by OG Mudbone (A.K.A. Sens (Celestrian Elemancer Warlock), Felix (Earthlain Deathbringer Harbinger), Shrek (Brouni Punisher Shaman), and Snoop Dogg (Snoop due to character limit) (Brouni Healer Botanist) were always on the party, but I had The Voice Inside Your Head (The Voice due to character limit) (Celestrian Necromancer, though I can't remember which mastery he has (it's the one with Zombie Powder) in the 1st stratum, Maki (from love live) (Earthlain Barrage Pugilist) in the 2nd stratum, as well as the 4th stratum boss (she replaced Shrek because of Clear Breath), SiIvaGunner (SiIva due to character limit) (Earthlain Phantom Fencer) in the 3rd stratum, and Unregistered Hypercam 2 (UHC2 due to character limit) (Celestrian Poisoner Botanist) from the 4th stratum onwards. I'm on 30F, and my party has been mostly the same. Hopefully this helps, best of luck with the game! At some point in the postgame I swapped Merciful Healer for Divine Herald (really only used it because I didn't want to repeat classes) from the first party for more damage, so that's probably a better option for the offensive burst-y playstyle of the group. Tombstone Vice -> Blitz -> Chain Blast once Petrify wears off => Blitz again should be enough to burn through most bosses. Second party (that got all the way before the final superboss) was Cannon Dragoon, Deathbringer, Blade Master, Merciful healer, and whatever Necromancer has Tombstone Vice. Pugilist has binds + Overexertion and can Leading Blow to feed Hell Slash if you can time it with Dance Oracle. Not super optimized but the Shield Bearer covers the squishyness of the Masurao, also Elemancer for Clever Strike shenanigans on the front row. BTW, as I only can choose 6 options, I left Wildlings out and had to fuse the Botanist + Harbinger. Hexer would be my close second favourite, Fear + Suicide Word is awesome. First team was Shield Bearer, Barrage Brawler, Blade Dancer, Divine Herald, and Elemancer (got past first postgame boss before I started NG+). In my case I'd choose the Ninja from Etrian Odyssey Nexus, she made my first run in that game a piece of cake with their petrify, panic and poison.
