What is the optimal party size in Wartales?
The key thing you need to consider is whether you’re playing inAdaptive or Region-Locked mode. Depending on the choice you make when you start playing, your party size decision needs to take different things into account.
Wartales Adaptive mode party size
If playing in Adaptive Mode,each extra companion will add to the size of your opponent’s partywhen you enter each battle. This means you can keep adding party members as you please, but it will simply make battles longer and more complex rather than easier.
This is a great choice if you want to play with asmall party throughout the game, as it will also keep battles short. However, using a small party size will also limit the number of crafting options available to you unless you constantly switch between them, or ignore some entirely.
Wartales Region-locked mode party size
If you’re playing Region-Locked, the enemies you’ll face areset in terms of size and difficulty, so adding more companions should make battles easier. However, you will be paying and feeding them more, so will need to be sure to earn enough money and craft enough food to keep everyone happy.
Even if you over-level for battles, you’ll start toneed a large party size in later regions on Region-locked mode. Battles in some parts of Drombach and the Belerion Archipelago (in the DLC) see you facing off againstmore than 20 enemieswho have level 10 or higher stats and gear.
