Falcon seems like he's the best, since he ranks high in pretty much every tier list for everything. But he's in the second batch of Bodens, so it'll still be a while before we get him.
So it would seem. Livy even mentions that between Kymael and him, always go for him. But his ability list doesn't seem all that impressive, really.
- 10% DMG to enemy every 2 seconds for 10 seconds. So, 50% DMG to an enemy, and with a massive 32 second cooldown.
- 690% DMG to all enemies, which is pretty much below what any DPS worth its salt does. Whomever dies from this cannot revive, so that should help in Arena.
- All allies invulnerable for... 8 seconds? Really?
- (Passive) Reduces damage to HIM only for 20% every time he gets hit. Stackable 3 times.
- (Passive) Increases party's ATK 100% when hit, which is amazing but the only thing that is amazing.
Compare with Kahlen:
- Deals 891% DMG to all enemies and even has a chance to reduce ATK SPD by 91% for... 8 seconds again. Still better than Falcon's 690%.
- Shields all party members. If they're attacked (which of course they will, what the hell), the attacking enemy gets stunned for 19 seconds.
- Provokes the enemy for 16 seconds. During this time, he cannot die, and when the 16 seconds are over, he recovers 90% of his HP. This sounds massively OP.
- (Passive) If he receives damage over 10% of his HP (which would be most of the time, I presume), he only takes 50% of that damage and reflects the other 50% to the enemy.
- (Passive) Reduces DEF Penetration to 50%. Not sure if awesome or crap.
On paper at least, Kahlen is so good it's scary. And Falcon is... somewhat B tier SSS.
EDIT:
- Archer Tigger has a 1944% damage,
- Priest Randy has a 1260% damage AoE which also recovers allies' HP,
- Mage Liz turns the enemy team into foxes and reduces their armor by 80%,
- Rogue Shadow Hawk has a... get this... 1146% damge to a target and 2192% to another target right after,
- Warrior Howl has a certain death skill. As in, it selects a target, and 5 seconds later that target is 100% dead,
- Archer Paula Tracy deals 1623% to a target and 982% to the rest of the enemy team,
- Incanter Magritte can summon any deified ally, takes less damage when summoned, adapts her strengths to the summoned ally (meaning it changes her INT to DEX if she summons, say, Llywelyn), and has AoE damage when the summon ends. That's just... I can't even...
So they all have at least one massively awesome skill, worthy of the Boden title. In paper, Magritte and Kahlen are no-brainers.
