User blog:IsGamer13/Character Branches: Balanced

The Balanced character branch is oriented towards having no particular strenghts or weaknesses, even with this peculiarity, they're a very comfortable pick for any party and a good way to start anywhere, consider them as your own wildcard in case you're doubtful of what to add in your character parties.

Balanced characters tend to have balanced stats and a set amount of skills that cover every branch in-game, there are few exceptions but overall they still fit into Balanced nevertheless, most balanced characters are Dual Characters and Customizable Characters, the first because one character compliments each other, covering their flaws, the latter because you set their roles and they can be changed anytime you want, allowing them to fit in any role without too much effort, very few balanced characters are Normal Characters actually.

The characters under the Balanced branch are:

Mario/Luigi: Their skill set allows them to cover every area, except for Healing, they can excell at doing a good amount of damage and at the same time last in the battlefield for a while, input the commands correctly and they will be a force to recognize. They get along well with Peach and Daisy, mainly because Peach will heal their missing HP and Daisy will cure away those annoying status ailments and lend them some few stat boosts.

Link: His wide arsenal of weapons allow him to approach the battle from different ways, he would be Offensive/Defensive but the side effects of some skills (A.K.A weapons) allow him to be a fitting support, his Speed and Resistance is really low, but he covers it up with the rest of his stats. He gets along well with Zelda or Impa, Zelda can lend him a good portion of his lacking stats and at the same time sweep the enemies, Impa can fill the roles Link can't and viceversa, allowing them to be a very good back-up.

Impa: Similar to Link, but she lacks Defense and HP instead of Speed and Resistance, if Link is not a good option for you, then Impa can do the trick, her wide variety of skills allow her to be a quite troublesome character, her side effects compliment her passive, allowing her to be a very gimmicky character. She can get along well with Link, since he can do what she can't (depending on what role you have for her) and with Ganondorf, considering his potentially infinite HP sustain and his high defense, he can cover up for her in case she's in danger.

Kirby: Considering his skill-system, Kirby can be anything he wants, using him correctly will make a very nice addition to the party. His skills (in other words, Powers) cover about anything you desire, but not everything, use Kirby's powers wisely and you will have a wonderful character at your disposal. An offensive back-up is probably Meta Knight, because he can get the job done in case Kirby couldn't, a defensive back-up instead would be King Dedede, he can take the hits Kirby couldn't in case of doubt.
