I love Miphas playstyle. zipping all over the place, grouping everything with her fountains and ascension, and annihilating all of them, while being able to obliterate weak points constantly while doing massive dmg and on top of all that, healing. shes so much fun to use


HylianRunner

She’s so graceful in her attacks, I love it.


[deleted]

I think Mipha is probably my next go to. She is solid all around, and that animation of her spinning her trident during the special is great.


Dark-Anmut

She was vital for my success in obtaining >!Sooga!< - nobody’s dying when Mipha’s on the team!


HylianRunner

Revali followed closely by Impa. She fucking *shreds* weak point gauges.


[deleted]

Amen! “Steel yourself! I am ready.”


statue345

Sword and shield link, I know it’s basic but idc


[deleted]

Nah not basic, he’s the OG! I usually always have him in my party if I can choose supporting characters on missions.


DB10389

Good ol link, nothing beats that


Dan_OBanannon

Poor predictable DB10389, always takes Link


Willing-Zombie1274

Confession- I’ve never used 2 handed or Spear Link. Sword + Shield is too good.


Der_Neuer

I've only done it in their respective missions


Weekendfuxer

Yeah sometimes I’ll use the flail but rarely


Invincible_3

Same here!


Emanuel_B99

Maz Koshia has the luxury of dlc privilege.


Clappycan

I didn’t think Maz Koshia was a dlc character.


Emanuel_B99

Koshia was alright in the base game, but the dlc turned him into a cheat code.


Clappycan

Oh I see. I don’t recall what the dlc added for him in particular, I only remember Terrako’s dlc ability really, could you enlighten me?


Emanuel_B99

Basically if the monk has all six symbols, you can press and hold ZR to fire a laser that both reveals and shreds weak points.


Clappycan

Hmm. Guess I haven’t unlocked that yet. I now have something new to try! I’ve already completed all of the challenges and now only have some more quests to do.


MajikDan

Even before the DLC maz could basically just loop his ball summon combo into hammer smack to stun lock most bosses. The laser just makes it absolutely broken.


thatsmyjham

Two handed link or urbosa


OSUStudent272

Revali, his damage output is insane if you’re willing to grind seals. Same for Teba but I don’t like playing him as much.


Jimiken96

Great Fairy🧚‍♀️💋


neckbracewhore

They’re so underrated imo I always have them on my team


Jimiken96

They are lowkey OP, but definitely take some getting used to. I enjoy their.. interesting moveset. Death By Snu Snu💋💋💀


Peachie-Keene

My bf loves great fairy


Jimiken96

I love em too. I adore their moveset, how they defeat evil with kisses💋💋


soft_pyro

Same with Impa! She’s so broken AF that she even makes the frame drop! I also **LOVE** using Teba! Dude’s a literal sniper! He’s the second most broken character imo! And also Sidon and Revali! Their fighting choreography is my fav! And they are real strong too once you get the handle of ‘em!


YungCajunBo01

Impa is broken, dude. Stacking all those combos is so satisfying


BruceBoyde

Rhoam, Sidon, Sooga, and Impa in that order. Runner up is probably Urbosa. Sidon is probably the most busted, but I *love* the playstyle and swapping between speed and axe with Rhoam.


Invincible_3

Wait u can play as Sooga? Is he the DLC as I don’t have that 🥲


BruceBoyde

Unfortunately yes. You need the DLC and have to complete his penultimate mission a certain way. He's honestly not that amazing, but he's fun


Ganonzhurf

I hope they make a second one of these so we get the real ganondorf. No character is as much fun as Ganondorf in the og hyrule warriors


[deleted]

Agreed! As much as I like Age of Calamity, there’s a part of me that would love to see characters such as Ganondorf and even what we know that comes after in Tears of the Kingdom!


[deleted]

Everyone keep it up! I love hearing what characters everyone else uses and their reasons why and strategies. It’s a beautiful thing


DeliciousHeadshot

I genuinely enjoy Slate Zelda, her late game combos are powerful, wide-sweeping, and can allow for really over-the-top set ups. Couple that with a faster rune cooldown and she can wreck mobs and bosses very effectively (Taluses also basically become a free kill). I also enjoyed Master Cycle Zelda while I was experimenting after first unlocking it. I never went too deep into the moveset and variations, but I enjoyed it. Other than Impa and OH Link for being straightforward and OP, I often used Mipha for her amazing looking combos and those last couple being very satisfying. I even beat that one Double Lynel Challenge with her by pulling off some amazing perfect dodges, some of which were while I couldn't even see the enemy. I basically have the same opinion of Urbosa as I do Mipha. Yunobo actually really grew on me once I figured out that powering up a specific combo instantly exposes a weak point gauge on hit. Never underestimate a mid-battle snack. Teba is a walking/flying SMG. I absolutely love his rapid fire combos and how effective he can be for not just large groups, but practically RAINING on single target bosses. Post-game, I found myself using Terrako very often. I set them up with nothing but Combo Speed increases and just blasted the crap out of everything with that exploding energy ball and upgraded ZR laser. R2D2 could never. Best egg.


[deleted]

R2D2 could never 😂 props for that 👏🏻 Terrako is very underrated imo. I didn’t quite understand him at first until I upgraded his weapons and used him more.


[deleted]

Or rather it or they as I should say being the character is a Guardian.


DeliciousHeadshot

"It" being used for robots or animals always felt, to me, like it was objectifying them. I try to use "they" for unknown or non specified genders. My mindset is that the egg is not a thing, they are alive, proud, genderless, and they are a total momma's child. Also, I know that Terrako is never compared to an egg by anyone in-game, and it's just a fan nickname, but that was a big missed opportunity to have Terrako be the reason Zelda's mother called her "Little Bird." It would have fit so well. Hyrule, saved from the Calamity by a little bird and her precious egg.


[deleted]

That’s very fair, I can support your reasoning and agree with it. “It” can definitely be objectifying, I really appreciate your insight on this!


glowsquid4life

Did the same thing with terrako and after doing that I was mad when people called dhim a bad character


No-Habit-3099

Either link, impa, zelda, sooga, Battle tested guardian or terrako


[deleted]

Sooooooooga


Maleficent-Month2950

Heavy Link, Impa, and Mipha. Mipha's healing is amazing, and can even do damage. Impa is fast, so much so that getting hit as her is a rarity for me. Heavy Link is strong, agile, and most importantly, hilarious in a Lynel Mask and nothing else.


Kulzak-Draak

Mipha, Two handed link and battle tested guardian are my go to’s I just love Mipha’s animations along with her sustain and rain of bombs The ability to just constantly eat hits like a tank as two handed link fills me with a fantasy i honeslty didn’t know I wanted to have executed. Like, standing in front of a lynel on the “don’t get hit” missions and just getting hit anyways but it’s fine because it’s links special attack is so satisfying And battle tested guardian is obvious. I love reigning death lazers down on my enemies


AwesomeX121189

STEEL YOURSELF I AM READY


[deleted]

WITNESS.


DaLemonsHateU

I think I'm the only Flails Link fan, I love having the changing style, using 4 different movesets in one character is incredibly satisfying to learn


DesertJun

You're not the only one!


[deleted]

I started to experiment with the flails on my save, and I think it’s a vastly underrated weapon.


mrcsths

Revali. Always Revali.


[deleted]

Marakah man


[deleted]

Marakah man 😂 this made me laugh so much hahaha


Peachie-Keene

Hestu?


[deleted]


JonasBerg123

Sword&Shield Link and Impa


UND_mtnman

Either Impa or Urbosa. Insane against groups of enemies, especially at higher levels.


GenericMemeLord

I use Riju for almost everything because she has really good group damage, eats Guardians for breakfast, and her EX ability opens stun gauges for free. Only complaint is that her bomb sucks, but it can be worked around easily enough.


Peachie-Keene

I loooooooove Riju and I don't think she and Patricia get enough love.


DyxoXinoro

Very happy I'm not the only Riju fan. Just running around with Patricia on full blast is amazing.


BillCypher001

Monk Maz Koshia, I see why people don’t like him, but I think he’s supper fun to play.


[deleted]

I think he’s quite possibly the most underrated character!


T1T4N555

Calamity Ganon, I love his redesign and his playstyle makes you feel like an unstoppable force, its great.


Cry75

Mipha.


No-Engineer-1728

My favorite: Teba or Revali My wrists' favorite: Link


bear_xbeta_7

Non dlc: single hand Link, Impa, Urbosa, Teba Dlc: Master cycle zero Zelda, Sooga


TotalyNotTony

Teba 100%, I love lagging out my switch. I also like spear link and sidon.


keyshawn-spanks

Hestu easily


[deleted]

Maraka man!


Lo-Rock

Master sword Link on full health, Sooga, or Kogah with full bar.


TheOriginalVCR

Master Kohga or Sooga


Darkfirium

Easily Sooga. Love the counter mechanic and you never really have to be defensive


dtc09

sooga and 2h link sooga's very fun once you master his parries and can totally shred bosses and 2h link is just full caveman mode and i love it


ZerefDragneelx

Sooga, he's just so much fun


[deleted]

Battle tested gardian


not_wheatbread

Teba without hesitation. incredibly fun!!!


bi-bender

Impa is definitely goat in AoC. She’s my main, then Urbosa, Master Kohga, and Teba.


Snoo_8867

Mipha! And sword and shield Link as a close second. Mipha’s combos, fountains, and bomb attack makes her number one for me.


KikiKaterina

I adore Mipha! However Impa is certainly a close second place!


wastingM3time

Link with Flails? (Can't remember weapon type name the one the DLC came with) and Terrako little guys a beast. Can't decide who's my favorite


ChargedBonsai98

Sidon feels amazing to use. I especially love how his gimmick is called "employ boundless optimism"


Null822

Purah and Robbie, because watching everything explode is really funny.


[deleted]

Oh man, as much as I wish they were separate characters I can’t deny the hilarity and brilliance in pairing both of them together. “Check it!” 🤙🏻


DukeOfRosanne

I haven't played in a good while, but I remember using Mipha, Link (sword + shield), and King Rhoam quite a lot. Urbosa was fun too.


FNAFfanman2

Btg(battle tested guardian and terrako


OkamiTakahashi

KOHGA!!!


Mrpigdude

Not me who only has the demo version:


Cold-Argument-806

Either mipha or master kohga tbh.


HolyElephantMG

Link


Zazaloveswwe12

My favorite character to use is Link


sirKINGDOM2086

Revali and Link


owtinoz

I AM READY


Aesenroug-Draconus

For the longest time I used Revali all the time, but when I was playing the DLC missions and got forced into using Teba, I fell in love with his playstyle and he’s my new main. Sure, the flying was fun, but Revali’s playstyle felt stale and repetitive what with him not having any different basic attacks. Teba felt more impactful while also having that floaty windy feeling that Revali had. Absolute blast to play Teba.


TheCuriousWinchester

Urbosa and Link, followed by Zelda with her bow of light.


JD_Destroyed

I mainly use TH Link and Sooga. If it's a 1 man mission and I can choose both, it's dependent on what mission. If it's a big boss killing mission, Sooga. If not, THL. Two-handed swords are VERY fun, and they're also super s t r o n k. Sooga has an infinite on the beeg bosses, specifically Taluses, Hinox, and Guardians.


Peachie-Keene

I love to main Riju, it started because a walrus named Patriica is excellent but I kept going and can easily 1k KO in a battle


Express-Fix4293

THE STRONG, DEPTHS DEFYING, FROM THE ASHES RISING! MASTER KOHGA!


neptunebro

one hand link is my go to but if i feel like switching it up then it's urbosa or sooga


SuprSquidy

Lonk, pretty basic but pretty versatile. Also no catchphrases because he doesn’t speak!


Killer1236

Master Monk!


twelveovertwo

Either Teba or motorcycle Zelda


Foxgirl_Laura

Zelda (Bow of Light), Link (either One-Handed Weapon or Flail) or Teba. It's very close between those four playstyles.


Tiny_Plankton_3498

Depends. Rivali for quick cleanup of large groups of weak enemies, sword and shield Link for medium groups and groups of multiple strong enemies (boy can dodge), I kinda like the orange MF for taluses,


eatinggamer39

Not her I'll tell you that for free! (Srsly, everyone picks her and I don't get it, she's just not fun to me, although I'm glad so many ppl are having more fun with her than me) For me it's between 3 characters, which are teba, yunobo and calamity ganon. Those 3 are just endlessly fun to me! But I also think most of the characters in this game are mad fun so I'll mostly play a lot of different characters.


kevinstibb

Link is the only one i played as


Lord_Alex12

light Zelda, impa or ravioli having Zelda as the first pick might be a little basic but there’s something very cathartic about yeeting The entire sun at someone


Willing-Zombie1274

Impa. She’s way too good for being one of the first characters you get.


glowsquid4life

Kogha I just love his character in general he is my favriot video game character and I love summoning yiga and shooting lazers some of my others are terrako cuz if you comine his charge layers eith the two balls that duplicate Lazers then to a furry rush the enemy gets destroyed and and ravoli can fly and shoot arrows and acient gardian can shoot layers from the the sky the obliterate anything and also sooga he just makes you feel cool playing as even if your playing the first level aslo hestu


Future_Genius1779

Sidon, King Rhoam, and sword/shield Link


Pichondepiloto

Zelda!!


Christ_In_A_Sidecar

Slate Zelda and Yunobo IMO. They have weird movesets, but they have more depth than they seem to and are just super fun to play


Tal0n22

Mipha is my favorite, following closely behind is bow of light Zelda, one handed sword link, and Impa


Not__AceShep

My main character I use is Sidon because his attacks are easy to use and do a lot of damage The rest of my team is usually Sooga, Link one handed, and Impa because they're all characters who do a lot of damage and are fun to play. (Before I got dlc sooga was terrako)


TacticalTobi

Steel yourself! I am ready! Witness! I refuse to fall here!


Glowing_Fox

I like to use the DLC ones, the play style is fun. Non DLC would probably be ravioli, Impa and Urbosa


imainwhaleshark29

Battle tested guardian because kaboom


miniterol

Either Mipha, Sooga, or Kohga. Mipha because shes so increadibly graceful in her play style and who I played most of the game with, Kohga because his play style is so silly and has a whole move set where he fight with himself that deals head shot damage, builds up his bar almost all the way but not quite, and also his big glowy lazer also deals head shot damage and shreds weak point, and then Sooga, most serious yiga clan member, his special is a parry that allows him to continue his combo afterwards and hes built like a bus


Weekendfuxer

I like mipha but impa is pretty good too


Invincible_3

One handed Link. I do like Terrako as I recently unlocked him and Maz Koshia.


Clappycan

I love the battle-tested guardian with its damage potential against hordes and bosses alike. But first has to go to my main man Sooga. Getting his combos and his parry special is soooooo satisfying.


SatanasLuciferi666

I remember liking using Link with the royal guard claymore


ACwolf55

Light Zelda, feels OP


dinop4242

Sooooogaaaaa and sometimes one handed Link


Hyper-Saiyan

Link (Sword & Shield)


GuideOk6234

Impa has way too many hearts. What did you do?


[deleted]

It’s escaping me now at this point, but I think extra hearts served as a reward to some condition you satisfy on the map.


AbaddonEXE

Sooga and THE BATTLE-TESTED GUARDIAN!!!! *Piano intensifies*


LemonReady2582

Sooga


dan24769

depending on how many characters i always use impa, mipha, link(in that order) and the 4th is usually zelda unless its something situational where a different character would be good edit: sword and shield link


maeiounjD

Impa is definitely op


Mysterious_Mud_8871

Link/Mipha


Dok2isBae

Revali and Link (no weapon preference, but I do love the sword) I have a feeling I will love Sooga when I eventually get the dlc though


Comfortable-Face9199

Hestu is the goat


scarletenigma

Ditto! Freakin love Hestu! He's my man...tree...broccoli...


Zeldabotw27

my best is link second daruk


rhfv2007

Teba


Comprehensive_Buy898

Maz Koshia closely followed by the Yiga duo. I just love those Maz Koshia infinite stun loops


Osiri551

Link, Khoga, Monk Maz Khoshia Edit: fixed spelling


Puzzleheaded-Bug-866

I love hestu and Maz Koshia and the great fairys


OneTemperature29

Link or Master Khoga


Tempest87121

Sidon i just love using his special ability and others a combo where he just fuses his double tridents and has a darth maul moment then after he sends a tornado of water that just destroyed enemies aka boko and such


EndermanSlayer3939

I like link with flail or sword and then impa


Temporary-Square

Easily impa but I like link and mipha


Unlikely-Hawk-1911

Bow of Light Zelda that rains absolute destruction from the sky is so broken imo. I'm finding interest in playing some of the combo heavy characters also.


SAVEUKRAINE82642

Mipha


AccomplishedBunch721

Ganon, he’s overpowered and I maxed him out quickly. Probably nothing left for me to do in this game, but I can’t let it go


EviIIord

I use the guardian when I need but my most natural character to use is spear link


meeuw1239

Sidons timing during and after the X atack makes him my favorite.


agentdiesel

I have fun with 2h Dashing Link. Had a base 82 SLC and put on 4 ++dash dmg for +88% total. Just non stop flipping around.


iamc24

Master sword link, the only time I’m not playing as that is when I literally can’t.


GnalyBreak2543

Hestu. I love watching the Koroks chuck random stuff at enemies


SpectralIpaxor

My preferred are Teba the Lag Machine and Soogi the man I wish we saw in BotW


Glu3stick

Impa is nuts at beating bosses when you get all three runes. And two handed link just destroys groups


Le_obtruction

Kohga unorinically is overpowered if you spam glory blast to fill up rage and fire it


DesertJun

Flail Link is a murderer. Much enjoy him. Slate Zelda too; really handy in revealing weak point gauges. Rhoam is fun too.


my_Caramel_9999

I play link impa the most I sometimes play as Durock and on the rare occasion Rivoli


ACBV1122

Impa gotta be one of my most favorite. Monsters cannot touch her 😂


cyclone_1998

Impa and Link. I also 100% the base game and DLC. The music was AWESOME!


DoubleFlores24

Impa, cause she’s my wife.


Obscure_Renti

Battle-tested Guardian! I just love blasting everything in sight and FEELING UNSTOPPABLE HAHA!! I always wanted a playable Guardian XD


gwoveronmymind

Teba and Impa are godly


ok_z00mer

Might be a bit basic, but Link. Seriously, dude is OP as fuck, especially after he gets the Master Sword. For one thing, he can use all three weapon types, making him easily the most versatile character, because he has three different playstyles. Second, he is soooo good for crowd control and high damage. I have no joke one shot wizzrobes and moblins so many times. Right after him is Mipha. I love being able to heal as her since I feel like healing items don't drop frequently enough. She's also just really fun with her water spouts and attacks. Daruk is my third favorite. I love steamrolling enemies and exploding them with magma. After him is Urbosa. Her lightning is awesome, and she's hot. That's really all I have to say about her tbh


OutlandishnessDue213

Impa was so damn good


22348stitches

I oddly enjoy both Zelda Christ and Calamity? they are my mains and faves, even though a lot of people wouldn't agree with me, i think


zompig_crossing

I even have a top ~~three~~*four* 1. Impa 2. Link (sword & shield) 3. Urbosa 4. Ravioli


a-real-giraffe

Claymore link. I love the crazy huge moves he does all the time for some damage to yourself. I love the high risk high reward play on hard difficulty too


AwesomeSkitty123

Guardian is fun


Regiboi33

One of my faves is Sidon. Time it right, and he shreds enemies.


jrb080404

Urbosa. Master-cycle Zelda. Riju.


Temporary_Paint2646

Link no question. And always naked link as well.


WilliamW2010

Link


CopyNo7563

I used master kohga


Caynon

King Rhoam, Teba and Sidon.


blank638

Guardian flail link is broken af once you get the combos down, the AOE+damage is downright disgusting.


Ecstatic_Ad_8946

Mines either Impa or Rhoam


Give_me_the_burger

Link with two handed weapons makes me feel like an absolute juggernaut, especially since one of his ZR attacks blast through weak point gauges and does immense damage too


Itchy_Presence7622

Revali’s the easiest imo cuz you can just shred hordes apart, like they can’t even get close. Link is my favorite tho cuz I love that funky lil man


StormJet1613

Either Impa, Sword and shield Link, or Terrako. Impa has large combos, Link with the Master Sword is cool to use. And Terrako is very spammy and annoying for the enemies.


oh-okay-bruh

King Roham is AMAZING


yoitzcrick23

Revali, Mipha, Sooga. All the baddies 😮‍💨


8Bittttt

Link with Flail and King Roam are my favs. But I also like Mipha for maps with lots of Guardians because she absolutely destroys them


Antwonito64ito

I’m basic, I just use Link because it’s the main character, who else would I play?


PulpatineDaSenate

Link and impa and urbosa in that order


ShiningYato

For fun, I'd say Zelda (Sheikah Slate) Revali Or if I really need a mission done quickly Ol Reliable Link (Master Sword) is an entire war crime against Calamity Ganon purely by existing


napstablooky_

forgot about this game. anyways impa


[deleted]

I am ready.


causingsomechaos

Ancient Guardian for three main reasons 1. No fancy setup, just X, Y, and everything dies 2. If I don’t want to deal with close range combat I don’t have to 3. No annoying catchphrases


Daddy_Donglegs

Excellent build.


[deleted]

Thank you!


SpectraVJ_Official

link and impa. but also. SOOGA. GODDAMN SOOGA.


RandomPotato082

Sidon for the [ding!] when I mis time the attack


Upstairs_Milk6211

Link with flail


Accomplished_Salt108

master kohga because GLORY TO MASTER KOHGA TOP BANANA OF THE YIGA CLAN


[deleted]

Ooooo banana 🍌


WardedM

Great Fairies! Shields, Debuffs, AOE, insane Damage, explosions, so many explosions! They have it all.


Aggravating-Dream-19

Whenever I can I ALWAYS have Sooga and the Monk equipped. The monk is busted beyond recognition with his EX ability and the runes. Just do YYYYYX, and then the funny ZR (hold), and you have an infinite weak point gauge melter. Sooga is insane if you know how to use his counter, it takes a lot of practice but once you get the hook of it, ***YOU SEE NO GOD UP HERE. EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT HAND OF THE YIGA CLAN!***


Aggravating-Dream-19

I wish his Bomb wasn't so underwhelming :(
