Big Bang Age:Character Comparisons

Character Comparisons

 * Erika and her gang vs the sisters: For your first playthrough, Erika will be very helpful. Her advantage against most of the early enemies plus her high attack will make things much easier early on. Kendo has a lot of attack, and her sister Kyudou is better than Erika's goons. Kendo is more usefull in the National Chapter after recruiting Murakumo. I recomend Erika for beginners, but the sisters on the next playthrough, at least.

-Erika and her gangs-

Pro:
 * Her advantage of anti-alignment type against most of the early enemies with normal type
 * Good ATK
 * Recommanded for beginning players
 * Plus with two gangs with Long Range types.
 * Their PAY is very low
 * To get Coment-San to be recruited

Con:
 * Only one anti-alignment type
 * Two gangs aren't very useful in battle for having low stats

VS

-Kendo and Kyuudo-

Pro:
 * Kendo's special skill increase her ATK
 * Kyuudo's special skill reduce enemy's counter rate to zero
 * Kendo's SP is very high
 * Their Anti-Alignment type against both Black and White B type
 * To get Shizuki to be recruited

Con:
 * low LAW and INC stats
 * Kyuudo or Kendo will defeated in combat, one sister will abandon you


 * Murakumo vs Comet-san. These two were mentioned above. Murakumo can only be recruited by Kendo, and Comet-san can only be recruited by Erika and her gang. Murakumo is a mid-range character, and a pretty good one at that. She has high attack, decent speed and advantages, and a very good skill. It is a counter-attack that does increased damage to her opponent and leaves Murakumo completely unharmed. It has two flaws however; It costs a lot of Stamina and it does not work against long-range attacks. She also can power-up Kendo. Comet-san is a lot like Kyudou, but with more attack and a different advantage. However, that's about it. She has decent stats, but nothing that really stands out. Her attack is good, and she has some speed, but there are better long-range characters out there. She's not bad, but she isn't that great. She's better than Erika's gang members, at least.

-Murakumo Shizuri-

Pro:


 * Great ATK
 * Her special skill can deals the damage done by 1.5x plus HIT and EVA
 * High SP
 * Can power-up Kendo

Con:


 * LAW and INC are too low
 * Very high PAY
 * Her special skill will be useless against Long Range attacks plus too cost to 3 SPs

VS

-Comet-san-

Pro:


 * Good ATK
 * Her special skill denies the enemy of a counter-attack.

Con:


 * LAW and INC are too low
 * Very high PAY


 * Nanana vs Mizuki. An interesting pair. Mizuki is faster, an Nanana has decent attack. However, if you don't intend to do their star events, Mizuki wins easily. Nanana's starting skill is actually a burden, as it pretty much guarentees the enemy will counter. With star events, Mizuki is still a bit better thanks to her speed plus her usefull skill, but Nanana becomes much more usable. Another reason to pick Nanana is to recruit Akuu, who is a very good (and very goofy) character. He is worth taking Nanana for, definetely.

-Nanana-

Pro:


 * Great ATK
 * Good SP
 * Getting the "Spirit Bag" of clearing her 4th Star
 * Getting Abao Akuu of clearing her 5th star
 * Obtain her second special skill that will increase the damage done by allies in the same station with her

Con:
 * Lacked EVA
 * Her first special skill will help enemies for doubling their enemy counter rate
 * Very low LAW and INC

VS

-Mizuki-

Pro:


 * Good EVA
 * Her special skill to predict enemy's move
 * LAW and INC are fairly good

Con:


 * Weak ATK


 * Burai vs Kinako. Burai is the better fighter, but Kinako isn't too bad. her attack and accuracy are high, but her HP and speed are low. Burai's skill is also more usefull, and helps him remain useful throught the game. He also has an advantage against most of the early enemies.

-Burai-

Pro:
 * Great stats
 * His special skill maxed EVA to 999 to dodge anything
 * His Anti-Alignment type against enemies with Normal type

Con:


 * Nope

VS

-Kinako-

Pro:


 * Her Anti-Alignment type against both Black and White B type
 * Her special skill maxed HIT to 999
 * To get "Golden Turtle" item in station her in Toukyou (闘京) and trigger the event "きなこの買い物"
 * Every 25 levels her Stamina goes up by 1.

Con:


 * Low stats
 * Low HP and SP


 * Ren, Daigo, and Kunagi vs Sanzou, Senna, and Kyouko: Ren cannot be recruited with Sanzou or Kyouko, and Daigo cannot be recruited with Sanzou. Ren vs Sanzou is your most important choice, since it decides the story path (Sanzou-Senna, Ren-Kunagi). For the most characters, go with Kyouko on Senna's route and Daigo on Kunagi's. Kyouko is a decent long range unit with good attack and speed that will be helpful early on, but she may fall behind if you don't use her too often. Daigo is one of the best close range units, and becomes one of the best mid range units later. He is also very helpfull in the chapter he joins in and through the rest of the game. Sanzou is a powerful tank, with a very interesting skill. He can withstand strong attacks and even turn them against his opponent. Ren has good HP, attack and accuracy and decent speed. His skill can be useful if used early on. Senna is a very strong character, but will almost never dodge. Her skill balances this out a little though. Kunagi has god attack, and is the fastest character in the game (Daigo may catch up).

-Kunagi-

Pro:


 * Too great EVA
 * Her special skill increase EVA greatly
 * She can dodge too easily without Anti-Alignment types

Con:


 * High PAY
 * Low LAW and INC
 * Low SP

Con:

-Daigo-

Pro:


 * Great EVA
 * High SP
 * To become Devil Daigo for changing Short Range type to Middle Range type
 * His special skill will activate if his HP is below 10, both ATK and HIT increased by 1.5x

Con:

Con:

 * Hanzou, Iori, Kagao, Unamura Vs Igarashi, Camilla, Neko Banchou. The first group can only be recruited on Senna's path, and the second group only on Kunagi's. Hanzou is a fairly good long range unit, and can end up pretty useful if you take the time to use him. He has good speed, decent attack, and a useful skill in certain situations. Iori is a lot like Senna, but with a type advantage and a toned down skill. Her attack will climb up much like Senna's does. Kagao is basically a long-range tank. He can take a lot of hits, and he is one of the strongest long range characters. His high attack and high HP balance out his low speed. Unamura is almost his direct opposite. Low HP and decent attack, but a lot of speed. Igarashi is a lot like Kagao, but with slightly less HP in exchange for higher speed and a type advantage. Camilla is also a long range unit, and is quite usefull at the time she joins. Her attack and HP aren't as high as some of the others, but her type advantage makes her a good character against the Holy Flame, as not many characters have that advantage. She can be good otherwise as well if you take the time with her. Neko Banchou...has some pretty low stats. His speed is decent, but his other stats make him a bit difficult to use. His skill can be helpfull in some situations, but only if you are either willling to sacrifice him or equip him with an item to increase his HP.

Pro:


 * Like Senna, her special skill restores her HP after every battle
 * Unlike Senna, she does have few Anti-Alignment types

Con:


 * High PAY
