Every team in Octopath Traveler 0 may consist of up to eight characters at once. This doesn’t mean that you have to build such a large party of travelers, but it’s good to know how synergies work and make the most out of them. This guide will provide you with a list of the five best party compositions in the game. Note that each team also includes a Protagonist character by default.
- Hybrid Magic Physical Team Composition
- Classic RPG Team Composition
- Physical DPS Team Composition
- Magic DPS Team Composition
- Farming JP Grind Team Composition
Hybrid Magic Physical Team Composition
Use this party comp specifically to fight bosses, where you can easily swap rows between the casters in the back and tanks in the front, depending on the situation. In this way, you can cover all the boss’s weaknesses, dealing massive damage, and keeping your allies alive.
| Heroes | Roles |
|---|---|
| Reime | Top physical DPS with a 6-hit ultimate. |
| Alaune | Best healer and offense unit. |
| Saoirse | Strongest support ultimate. |
| Isla | Top spellcaster. |
| H’aanit | Shield breaker and multi-hit attacker. |
| Stia | BP generator and tanky supporter. |
| Cyrus | Provides elemental coverage. |
Classic RPG Team Composition
Here’s the most traditional way of building a party in Octopath Traveler 0 by including all the main jobs into one team, such as warrior, architect, apothecary, hunter, scholar, and thief. It’s definitely one of the more balanced and reliable ways to get through the stages using all sorts of weaponry and spells.
| Heroes | Roles |
|---|---|
| Viator | Warrior tank and DPS unit. |
| Stia | Architect for early-to-mid game buildings. |
| Macy | Apothecary healer and BP generator. |
| Phenn | Hunter and multi-hit attacker. |
| Delitia | Hunter and multi-hit attacker. |
| Alexia | Scholar with magical crits. |
| Celsus | Thief with elemental coverage. |
Physical DPS Team Composition
It’s no secret that physical damage can be super efficient, especially against enemies that are specifically weak to it. This team comp doesn’t require any SP to go on, and it has both thieves and warriors for exploiting all the top weaknesses of the enemies. Also, you get a cleric and a dancer to support you on your way.
| Heroes | Roles |
|---|---|
| Olberic | Fast shield break exploiter. |
| Therion | Tanky damage absorber. |
| H’aanit | Hunter for high DPS. |
| Tressa | Merchant for JP generation. |
| Stia | Architect with buffs and BP generation. |
| Ophilia | Cleric for physical support. |
| Primrose | Dancer healer. |
Magic DPS Team Composition
This composition is very similar to the hybrid one, where you place your casters in the back and tanks in the front, but this time it leans way more into the magical side of things. This specific composition allows you to cover all elemental damage, including fire, ice, wind, light, etc. Just be sure to use Alaune or Saoirse to extend your magic buffs.
| Heroes | Roles |
|---|---|
| Alexia | Lightning and Dark scholar. |
| Isla | Multi-elemental scholar for full magic coverage. |
| Xerc | Multi-elemental scholar. |
| Cyrus | Multi-elemental scholar. |
| Cyrus | Tanky unit for DPS and damage absorption. |
| Sazantos | Damage dealer with great follow-ups. |
| Alaune | Healer and reviver. |
Farming JP Grind Team Composition
Lastly, if your goal is to earn as many job points as possible, then here’s the team comp designed specifically for that purpose. In this way, you can get through levels way faster than any other party in the game. It simply maxes out all the JP rewards that you get from defeating enemies, and even your non-cumulative passives will get that extra boost.
| Heroes | Roles |
|---|---|
| Ophilia | Extra JP Cleric. |
| Tressa | Arrow of Fortune JP farm. |
| Saoirse | Extra JP buffs. |
| H’aanit | Extra EXP generator. |
| Delitia | Strong DPS provider. |
| Alfyn | Supporter for sustainability. |
| Heidne | Steal mechanic assists with the grinding. |
