While primarily known for speed, his high speed allows him to act first, making him excellent for using items or specific runes.
Perfect hybrid attacker with the Soul Eater True Rune.
The characters in this tier possess the ultimate endgame build potential. They either boast three fully customizable Rune slots or wield unique, devastating Magic options that bypass typical scaling limits. Killey & Sheena

When building a team in Suikoden 2, it's essential to consider a few things:
The little kid. He has the lowest HP, Strength, and Defense. His only "value" is the Medicine rune for free healing, but any character can use that. Putting Tuta in your party is a handicap. He is the game's "weak child" trope personified.
While often overlooked, his cooking abilities are matched by his combat prowess late-game, capable of doing massive damage with the right setup. 🥈 B-Tier: Good Utility While primarily known for speed, his high speed
These characters possess elite stats, three open rune slots, or unique abilities that can trivialize endgame boss fights.
Nanami is a speed demon.
A dedicated physical attacker with high defense, great for front-line survivability while dealing solid damage. 🅱️ B-Tier: Reliable and Solid They either boast three fully customizable Rune slots
| Character | Notes | |-----------|-------| | | Fast, high TECH. But no rune slots hurts. Still decent with a Double-Beat rune (if hacked in). | | Tir McDohl (transfer from Suikoden 1) | Soul Eater is powerful, but only if you grinded in S1. Falls off slightly without good rune setup. | | Millie | Good MAG, but random rune affinity (can fail spells). | | Futch | Balanced stats, gets Bright Shield optional scene. | | Tengaar | High STR, but slow. | | Kinnison (with Shiro) | Wolf + hunter combo. Good physical damage. | | Gadget (robot) | High defense, thunder attacks. Slow but tanky. | | Sigfried (unicorn) | Can heal, decent damage. But takes a party slot like a human. | | Bob (werewolf) | Transform ability → high damage. No rune slots in human form though. |
The man with the "S" on his shirt. Georg has the highest natural Strength growth. On paper, he should be S-Tier. The problem? He joins in the final hour of the game (Rockaxe Castle). By then, your party is already optimized. He also has only 1 rune slot. A beast for the final boss, but useless for 98% of the game.
