When constructing a build in Symphonia, there are many aspects you must take into consideration to squeeze the most out of each character. This typically entails focusing on their Gear, Tech, EX-Skills, and Titles, all of which serve as crucial aspects that will allow you to hard-focus on their strengths to let them shine bright in just about any situation.

Best Lloyd Irving Build

Lloydis the protagonist of Tales of Symphonia Remastered and wieldsTwin Bladesas his weapon, allowing him to land devastating attacks with Tech thatthrives on getting up close and personalwith his opponent. Thanks to this, he can landhigh-damaging combosthat can reachwell beyond 100 hits,making himone of the best DPS charactersin the game. That is if you have a good build for him. You can find the most optimal loadout for Lloyd in the table below!

Strike

Best Colette Brunel Build

Coletteis more or less the catalyst for the story of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, making her one of the game’s most crucial characters. She usesChakramsas her primary weapon, enabling her todeal tremendous amounts of damage in unison with her Tech and Artes.Colette can be one of the best in the game and a core member of your party when paired with the right equipment. The below build showcases her potential!

Best Genis Sage Build

Geniswill be your firstmagic-basedcharacter in the game, and you will get to see his power gradually and impressively grow throughout the game. He uses aKendamato cast hisMagic Artes,enabling him to learn immensely powerful moves likeGravity Well and Cycloneif he follows theTechnicalroute of hisTech Tree.Overall, Genis isone of the best damage dealersin the game and will be one of your best options.

Technical

Best Raine Sage Build

Raineis Genis' older sister and also focuses onmagic-based Tech and Artesthat she can cast with herRod.However, in her case, she is best utilized as the party’sHealer,and following herTechnical Routewill provide you with the game’s best Healing options, enabling her to keep the party alive through even the toughest challenges. The table below will showcase how to capitalize on her strengths to make her a permanent member of your party.

Best Sheena Fujibayashi Build

Sheenais an odd character in that she usesCardsas her primary weapon and canSummonpowerfulSpiritsinto battle with them, granting her enormous potential to be one of your best options. However, shecan be tricky to play,especially when compared to others, and requires much more time and effortto rack up the damage. Nonetheless, the build below will let you get the most out of her unique playstyle. While she may not be a permanent member, switching to her occasionally can prove helpful, especially during most boss encounters.

Best Zelos Wilder Build

Speaking of odd characters, we haveZelos,who can wield aSwordora Daggerand shares a very similar moveset with Kratos, who we will get to later. Zeloscan deal massive amounts of damage,especially if you follow hisTechnicalroute, as it will unlock the potential toland high Combos that can eliminate smaller enemies and shred some bosses.If you’re looking for a high-damaging party member, then Zelos checks all your boxes.

Best Presea Combatir Build

Preseais one of the more underutilized characters in Tales of Symphonia Remastered. While she has some potential, heroverall moveset and build pales compared to most other charactersavailable, with maybe Regal being slightly behind her. However, that isn’t to say she cannot wreak havoc with herAxe.It’s just that you willneed a specific build and party to go alongside herto make her truly shine, which we will attempt to tackle below!

Best Regal Bryant Build

As hinted at above,Regalis also another slightly underwhelming character thatcan put up huge damage numbers,butonly with a proper build and party.He usesLeg Guardsto unleash his damage on enemies, but he ismore valuableas aTank-like character,as hecantake a real beatingbefore falling in battle. However, in a game such as Symphonia, you will want to be dealing damage, and lots of it, during most of the late-game boss encounters while also having a dedicated Healer. This, amongst other reasons, is what makes it so hard to find a spot for Regal to shine.

Best Kratos Aurion Build

Lastly, we haveKratos,who - again - plays very similarly to Zelos. He can wield aSwordoraDaggerand benefits significantly from theTechnicalroute. If you don’t have Zelos on your team, be sure to have Kratos in it, as hisdamage output is off the charts.When all is said and done, hemay be the best physical-based characterin the game, and the build below allows you to harness all of his power and use it to demolish enemies.

Best Party Compositions

Finally, let’s go over some of thebest Party Compositionsyou can have in Tales of Symphonia Remastered. If you’re looking for themost damaging, balanced, or overall best pairingsin the game, this section will have you covered.Some characters thrive in specific situations and with particular party membersaround them, which we will attempt to showcase below!
