Top 5 Weakest EarthBound/Mother Series Party Members
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
- For anyone questioning why I would include party members like Jeff and Ana who are actually great, back then I simply didn’t see it. I used to play EarthBound by saving PSI/battle items for boss battles, and since Jeff’s Offense is lackluster, it caused me to not appreciate him for the longest time. But now that I know how powerful he really is with items like Multi Bottle Rockets, the Heavy Bazooka, etc., I deeply regret calling him one of the worst. In fact, I actually included Jeff in my best party members list because of those reasons. In the case of Ana, she’s still the weakest party member stats wise and her PSI selection is limited early on, but calling her bad is underestimating her power. She learns a ton of broken PSI like PK Fire Omega or PK Beam Gamma! Bad my ass! As for who I would replace them with, I guess Ninten (as ironic as that may sound) and Poo. Regardless, I wouldn’t call any of the party members truly bad outside of Salsa and to an extent Lloyd.
Who are the worst Mother series party members? I mean, to be honest not many of them are bad, but a couple do stand out from the others as not being as viable for combat. Not even the weakest are on the same levels of Unown in terms of uselessness, but I wouldn't say they're exactly good either.
Also, I will apologize for the random audio cut outs that occurred a handful of times throughout the video. I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason Vegas Pro just loves to do that, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Poo’s only considered good sometimes cause of Starstorm and healing omega. His equipment is severely limited as well as his diet. This princess only wants your finest bottled water and equipment items.
As for Nintendo, he’s a bit of a Jack of all Trades, but if you haven’t leveled up Loid when you go to I think Marysville, and you don’t stock up on items for his asthma you’re completely screwed. He’s useful, yes, but I often get more use out of Loid or Ana in terms of these characters’ capabilities.
Ninten is definitely better than Ana and probably Poo.
Sure, Ana's PK Beam Gamma and PK Fire Omega are broken, but she doesn't get those attacks until level 25 and level 35 respectively. You hit level 25 during the power grind for the Dragon and level 35 is postgame in my experience (I usually end up beating Mother around level 32). She joins incredibly underleveled, and in the intermediate 24 levels, you're dealing with a character with pathetic survivability whose damage output is about the same as Ninten's, but needs to use a limited PP resource in order to keep pace on damage. Her PSI isn't that useful on Mt. Itoi, the only real challenging dungeon after Duncan's Factory. Sure, PK Block is great against Cerebrum and she can insta-kill Giga Borg and Last Starman before they take their turn, but she doesn't surpass Omega Borg and Juana in speed until level 48 and 58 respectively, and you don't want to kill Star Miner or SuperEnergy when it results in 60 damage to your entire party.
If you think Ninten is worse, you don't use 4th-D Slip enough. It's effectively a half-cost PK Fire Omega with the only downside being you don't get experience for the battle. By endgame, you should be using all the PSI Stones you've been hoarding on Ninten and spamming PK 4th-D Slip. You have to run from Star Miner and SuperEnergy anyway so why chance not being able to run from them? This lets you save Ana's PP for Lifeup and makes Mt. Itoi much more consistent. I've never died on Mt. Itoi using this strategy and I've beaten Earthbound Beginnings at least 8 times at this point.
Ana should still be on the list, but a lot lower (maybe 4th or 5th worst). Ninten would probably be the 6th worst party member, but 4th-D Slip is so broken it probably singlehandedly makes him better than Poo, whose basically just an inferior hybrid of Ness and Paula.
the one fight Salsa was used in during chapter 7 for me, Salsa instantly got paralyzed and started to feel strange.
Lloyd can pick up people three times his own size
Best party Member is Porky in the first part of Earthbound, not gonna lie
I know, his playing dead and complaining to Ness are borderline broken techniques
Ikr
No is Thomas
Yo bet, ima go back into pk hack and make those moves launch multi bottle rockets
And picky’s magic spell cast starstorm omega
Yeah, Salsa sucks because he's too broken to actually use. Hacking him into the party shows he steamrolls everything with monkey mimic.
Salsa STUPID
@@AkabSucks Salsa GOOD
make an enemy land all of pk thunder's shots on salsa and he will absolutely destroy the enemy with mimic
Thay made him only in Chapter 3 and a bit in 7 because they were scared of Monkey Mimic's power. Just use it on Master Eddy's Whirlpool!
Salsa fired its end of the century beam this implys he could use it all along
I think the teddy bear has the best offense in the whole mother series
Jeff is literally the most broken character in the entire series after you get to scaraba
Ana is way more broken in my opinion, but yeah, Jeff isn’t nearly as bad as I said he was.
BlueNinten Why I think this is solely because of his use of big and multi bottle rockets. They legitimately break the entire game after scaraba. Its kinda stupid, honestly. I was watching my friend play Earthbound, and he abused the hell out of it. Store clerk spook? Dead in two big bottle rockets. That plague rat? One multi bottle rocket. Starman Deluxe? One multi bottle rocket. Literally only the final boss can survive this absolute MONSTER of an item. Effortless. Brainless. *Stupid.* What were they thinking?! This is my only complaint of Earthbound. You could just say I could ignore it’s use, but its still there. 2000 damage for 2000 cash. And the bag of dragonite, which is WAY less frequent, is 4x weaker? If there was ever an Earthbound remaster or remake, multi bottle rocket deserves a nerf
It’s a pretty stupid design choice. Jeff is still great without them, but the multi bottle rockets are nothing but overkill. Although, Ana from Mother 1 can learn THREE PSI that are guaranteed one hit kill moves, which is why I think she’s even more broken. (Oh yeah, and Lloyd can buy Super Bombs at any time which are screen clearing nukes) But I guess it’s up to interpretation if someone believes either Ana or Jeff is more overpowered.
@@ReeseyPuffy I think Jeff is much more broken, Ana is great but her Multi-bottle rocket tier PSI aside from freeze gamma you're unlikely to get unless you grind a ton.
@@catpip_ there is earthbound deluxe if you like to try
Jeff is so OP. Just give him rocket launchers.
Yeah, when I made this video, I pretty much only saved battle items/PSI for bosses, so Jeff was always really underwhelming for me. But now that I actually know how to play an RPG, I realize that Jeff is arguably the most broken party member in the series, which is why I included him in my best list.
Jeff is simultaneously the best and worst party member.
Yeah but until he’s the only guy left he’ll die sooner or later
@@ReeseyPuffy but then bazookas, bottle rockets, and other gadgets actually really come in handy doe😭
and the multi bottle rockets.
and the gaia beam *shudder*
Surprised Poo isn’t on this list. Yeah, he has PSI, but it’s not as strong as Paula’s or Ness’s. His only unique abilities are questionable at best, and healing items affect him differently (mostly worse) than the other party members. The only good thing he has is Starstorm, which you don’t even learn until the end of the game when most of the enemies have psychic power shields that will deflect it or make it weaker.
Still, great vid. Keep up the good work!
I didn’t include Poo because back then I considered Jeff the weakest of the Mother 2 party members. Of course, I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. I’d definitely place Poo on the list nowadays but I still think he’s way more useful in battle than Boney, Lloyd, or Salsa.
Salsa’s main redeeming feature:
Salsa fired a laser
Salsa used pk starstorm omega!
That's not the official render for boney. Mother 3's clay renders are fan-made.
Radshyguy that’s true. Because in Smash Bros they have there Sprite versions.
The only official artwork for Mother 3 is a map of the Nowhere Islands, everything else in the Mother 3 manual is sprites for the game.
Picky is the best! Have you seen how strong he is?!
Yeah, his magical spell is so overpowered the game overflows it to zero!
At least he can actually attack while in your party unlike his useless brother.
1 damage per hit makes him so darn powerful
@Nope Nope Nope So Much Nope m7, have you seen the 1 damage he's inflicted!
He deserves to be in for the rest of the game!
Let's not forget Fuel throwing rocks and dealing 1 HP damage damn I wish he would've stayed in the party he was OP
well, among non-playable party members, he's only beaten by wess. I'd say he outclasses ionia and maybe alec, because he complains about back pain too often.
@@noti7510 Fassad is also better
Really underrated channel and video! Personally I always gave boney healing items so he could heal a party member close to dying because his speed stat is through the roof, as well as giving him offensive items to get quick damage in, like saltwater guns
Paula took mortal damage
boney's redeeming factor for me is, to no-ones surprise, his speed. Being able to use healing items or the shield snatcher before anything else happens is so useful
"He's the worst since he doesn't learn any PSI" well of course not he's *munke*
Seeing Salsa litterally shoot cannon balls from his ??? never gets old tho
Picky is S tier just for trying his best
I’ve read the comments and I’ve been thinking: You should redo the list.
I guess it’d be a good idea. I don’t think this video is terrible or anything, but Jeff and Ana aren’t nearly as bad as I made them out to be and I could also improve the presentation. It’s definitely a consideration, but I don’t plan on remaking it for a while.
@@ReeseyPuffyAna carried earthbound zero
Good vid, but I straight up laughed at Ana being on this list. Going by stats only, yes she is bad but because of her psi, I think she is the best party member in the series.
After replaying Mother 1 for the billionth time, I can definitely say Ana isn't that bad. It does take her a while to become helpful in battle, and if she runs out of PP she's essentially useless, but what other party member is guaranteed to knock out almost any enemy in one hit? Nowadays, she'd probably still make the list but just barely. She's far from the worst in the series. Heck, she's not even the worst party member of her game.
If u level her up high enough to learn most of her moves, she’s the best. Low stats are nullified by her ability to do anything psi wise
Pipi is the most overpowered party member ever.
Yea she is very good for leveling Ninten early game
You talked about the worse party members, then why not talk about the best party members?
the number four ? Good idea
Maybe do a vid on top 5 hardest areas in the series or top 10 hardest bosses
Actually Boney is the fastest party member so it’s good for item usage.
Yeah, but Boney’s arsenal is just very limited. His only reusable battle item is the Shield Snatcher. Compare that to Jeff, who gets the Neutralizer, Shield Killer, Heavy Bazooka, Hungry-HP Sucker, Slime Generator, Monkey’s Love, Counter-PSI Unit, Defense Shower, and the list goes on. Sure, the limited use battle items such as Pencil Rockets and Saltwater Guns can still help, they’re just not as practical as what Jeff had up his sleeve. That being said, Boney can use healing items effectively due to how quick he is. My point was that he’s still good, but not as much as the other Mother 3 party members. (Not like that matters though since they all have different purposes anyways)
Salsa's monkey mimic can be so op I'm telling you
You can keep some small hp healing items just so he lives to be hit by 300+ attacks and counter them imediatelly
Boney is the GOAT. Loading him up with pencil rockets and healing items works wonders for the late-game bosses
I’m surprised Jeff is on this list; in late game once you have access to the multi bottle rocket and especially the heavy bazooka, he’s an instant win button who can kill Carbon Dog in like 3 turns.
Also Ana was far and away the best party member on my mother 1 playthrough; she gets access to SuprHealing way earlier than anyone else and her Lifeup Pi is instrumental in beating giegue at lower levels. She also gets Beam Beta super early which blows basically every other offensive move out of the water up until Teddy and Mt. Itoi.
If anything Loid is useless, most of his items outside of the Super Bomb and the Plasma Beam (both rare limited items) are completely useless and his Stats definitely doesn’t make up for it. I ended up using him as inventory space to spam repel rings since you really need those.
I don't think boney's clay model is official because in super smash bros ultimate the EarthBound Series's Spirits uses the clay models and Sprites
That was a mistake on my part. I assumed they were official, but as it turns out no clay models were ever created for Mother 3 like they were for Mother 1 & 2.
And at #0 you have Pokey/Porky in Earthbound
Jeff is a man of science, not magic, and he can use science to its fullest destructive potential
Adds jeff.
Oh. I must be doing something wrong then.
Salsa can fire a cannon. How dare you
How did I overlook such a crucial strength?!

Can fire in spurts!

@@imacommentator WHEEZE
Salsa was my favorite mother 3 character, but I'm not stupid. He's the absolute worse combat wise lol.
In the beginning of his run/uniting with the others, Jeff is weak because he's a boy genius with no PSI/PK abilities at his disposition, however once you get his gadgets and other items, he's HELLA broken, a good offensive/defensive/support character. The Heavy Bazooka gives splash damage and is better, the neutralizer helps with shielded bastards, THE MULTI BOTTLE ROCKETS... need I say more?
I deeply regret saying he was one of the worst. I didn’t use items much in mother 2 back when I made this video, so I never saw his true potential.
You gotta admit that monkey delivery service goes hard
Jeff's HP sucker is SO good, you needn't any PP to suck HP from enemy
Poor Salsa.
Salsa is treated horribly, and can defend himself horribly.
Jeff is a powerhouse. The multi bottle rocket wrecks EVERYTHING and makes the late parts of the game a sinch.
Jeff is the best character, and should be the main character. Because in my game Ness is worthless because he keeps missing his attacks and Jeff doesn’t.
I still love salsa
I remember while playing Mother 3 how I suffered every time Boney died and not cuz of sadness but out of annoyance…
Why is Ninten not in smash?
Also I hear chug say that multi-boddlerocket has a chance to kill some bosses instantly.
I feel like he would only be a color palette swap of Ness; his design is almost identical to Ness.
I know I’m late, but Jeff is nuts dude!
Luckily, you were so late that my opinion of Jeff completely changed!
BlueNinten yea my bad about that
When you have top 5 but puts 3 on the thumbnail
I couldn't spoil the entire list in the thumbnail
When I first played Mother 3 I tried leveling Salsa up until he could catch up to Fassad's damage output, it was probably the most fun I had with Chapter 3
...needless to say, I never got even close to that lardass' damage output.
Technically, Pokey is a party member, and you know what he does in battle?
Literally nothing. At all.
Damn, even Picky and Wess, DO something unlike this pile of pork.
@@aladushek2124 wess is actually surprisingly good ngl
@@eddiefernandez5052 IF he uses Secret Technique, yes he can just attack, but Tech is better
@@eddiefernandez5052 don't know Fassad is a better npc teammate.
@@ShiftyGuy777 Aside from the "doing nothing actions" he literally sweeps the enemies Salsa encounters. He has a decent attack, can charge at the enemies, sometime throws bombs and can snap Salsa out of status effect (such as asleep or strange) by using the zapping collar.
Fassad might be an asshole but he ain't a joke.
Jeff is the most overpowered character in earthbound he shouldn't be on this list.What he lacks in PSI he makes up for by having some of the best items in the game.Big Bottle Rockets and Multi Bottle Rockets make him a good boss killer,he also gets the heavy bazooka,neutralizer,and shield killer.Jeff is an amazing damage dealer and a good debuffer to.
Did you know Lloyd is Jeff's dad (Dr. Andonuts) Lloyd Andonuts, Jeff Andonuts
Alec laughing at every segmen
Boney is awesome you take that back!
Boney is indeed awesome but still a less good Jeff
Ana's actually really strong. It just takes a long time to get good PSI moves. The characters in Mother 1 suck in general.
Lloyd... Jeff... and Ana?
But those are some of the STRONGEST party members!
Lloyd... is the weakest of the EBB crew but he is still AWESOME. Super bombs instakill, and he has more hp and defense than Ana
Jeff... if you call him the weakest party member you'll be crucified sideways. He is better than Poo, he NEVER needed to be healed when I used him, and he does damage comparable to Paula! And, with those multibottle rockets, HE DOES ABOUT AS MUCH AS NESS
And he can also take down shields and increase the party's defense. Jeff is AMAZING.
Ana... has two and a half instakills (Pk freeze gamma leaves an enemy with about 40 hp). Ana is LITERALLY the best party member for normal fights and CARRIES you through the mountain area.
You'd... replace with ninten?
Ok, that... that is... eh, understandable I guess but let me change your view
Ninten is the main healer and does melee damage COMPARABLE TO TEDDY. Shields and Defense Up MAKE GIEGUE (and every other boss) WEAKSAUCE.
Shields, defense up, suprheal, and lifeup make him the one of the best, actually.
do a 5 worst side party characters (ex: porky, fasaad)
2:09 , both are candy
Jeff honestly is busted with his bazooka being the strongest infinite use weapon
Funnily enough, Salsa is intentionally terrible, for one simple reason: Fassad.
In chapter 3, you’re forced to go with Fassad, and he’s incredibly conflicting. On the one hand, he’s a peice of shit animal abuser who you hate, but at the same time, you basically rely on him for most battles. Salsa was never intended to be good, which is also why he’s available for so little time.
Jeff has the heavy bazooka and multi bottle rockets... yeah that’s not strong/ OP at all. Edit: and Poo isn’t here either? He’s barely even there, has only two good attacks in both starstorms and is stupidly specific as for equipment (the sword of kings has such a low drop rate, can’t be grinded for after you’ve cleared the Stonehenge base, and doesn’t even do that much damage). I have a lot of questions as to the legitimacy of your list (as I haven’t played Mother I nor III).
I regret putting Jeff on this list, he literally has no drawbacks aside from his low Offense and lack of PSI. Poo is definitely the least good party member in EarthBound. As for the other party members here, I still think they deserve their spot. Lloyd is fragile and slow and has a much smaller selection of battle items than Jeff (And none of them are infinite use), Salsa sucks outside of Monkey Mimic, and Boney is alright but he's a weaker Jeff. Ana is much better than I remember her being, because while she sucks stats wise, she has arguably the best PSI selection of any party member. If I had to remake this list, I'd probably put either Ninten (as ironic as that may sound) or Poo in place of Jeff. To be honest, none of the party members in the series are that bad outside of Salsa and to an extent Lloyd.
Imagine using Salsa on New or Miracle Fassad
With a lot of healing items you only have to fear the dazzling light
Well salsa levels up real fast and he's also satisfying to do so
He's probably really strong at level 99
How did this list not mention the warrior and deity, Pippi. Obviously the best character in all of the Mother series. She could probably beat Giegue, Giygas and Masked Man with the snap of her fingers.
Probably since this is a list of the weakest party members, not the strongest deities.
True kinda like
Enemy: *exists*
Pippi: Omae wa mou shindeiru
@@ReeseyPuffy Plus Pipi's got the same level 1 base stats as Teddy if I remember correctly, she's probably one of the strongest party members and probably would be the strongest non-psi user (excluding item usage, in which case Jeff would still be the strongest) in the series if you could keep her and level her up throughout the game.
Boney is good you just gotta equip him right. The game doesn't make it obvious he can equip more them just collars, so I don't blame u for thinking he's bad.
when you showed salsa i thought it was bubble monkey
lets be honest, wess is actually the bess party member with his super secret ultra ancient thief arts technique and throwing his sons socks amirite
I was about to ask...
Why Ana wasn't number 1...
Until you mentioned Salsa. No one remembers him.
Ana literally does 1 damage no matter what weapon she uses.
Though her PK Beam ß is the best thing ever. Sure, it's not instant kill like the next tier of PK Beam, but it still does a good amount of damage, especially since you can get pretty quickly.
She does 2-6 damage with iron skillet
You sound like text to speech and I love it.
Please do memes.
My voice changed sorry
D:
Hey salsa shooting a Cannonball out of nowhere and bringing the tank down to its final form for me would probably raise some a couple stages I'm just saying
okay, but Buzz Buzz was insanely overpowered, if it wasn't because he died to some lardass' shoe, and even then, he would've dodged it had he been prepared
I still regret not including him in my best list. And ALL because he was temporary.
well buzz buzz doesn't do much I tried a ar code for a playthrough and his offense was not good. the good thing from him was that he gives you free psi sheilds
Fassad says:Salsa is weak because he is not meant to be strong he is ment to be a tool
Salsa is just cute
Amazing video!
*Jeff used the fucking best weapon in the game: Multi bottle rocket! It deals Infinite damage!*
In the Stonehenge base I had to revive Paula nearly 5 FRICKIN TIMES CAUSE SHE IS SO BAD AGAINST MACHINES THAT GI BEEP BOOP VAP BAP BFKL HRGRJN but her psi is 😱
Boney has always been pretty bad to me. His one upside is his speed but since I usually have the mystical shoes on Duster, Duster always is faster than Boney making him completely useless in terms of items. His only real upside is sniff which just feels like a worse version of Jeff's spy move.
Nice list!

To be honest having 5 members in a "Worst in the Series" requires you to stretch a LOT. I mean there are like a total of 4-5 playable characters in each game. If you include only the permanent party members you only have 11, since a lot of the temporary party members tend to be there only for their story beats and not meant to be used the whole game, so Salsa really shouldn't be on this list. In reality playing through each game I don't really see a character being a liability or having to "baby" them outside of leveling them when they start low. Not every character needs to be a PSI user, and turn based RPGs (and RPGs in general) action economy is king. Let me explain:
If I HAD to pick a character that gave me any level of frustration, it would be Ana. Ana's problem isn't her bad offense; it DOES irk me that even if you upgrade her Frying Pan her attacks always hit for 1. But seeing as she's a PSI attacker and got lots of PP I won't hold that against her too much. But my problem with Ana, is... her HP is WAY lower than anyone is the whole series, even lower than any other Caster-Types in the RPG genre in the whole. Characters like Nina from Breath of Fire series had AP higher than her HP, I never had that much problem keeping her alive. Ana has by far THE poorest Constitution I have ever seen a character have and I have to struggle just to keep her alive much less get EXP from fights. It doesn't help that the area you get her in is filled with packs of enemies that can kill her if they all decided to attack her. The whole area she's in from the train tunnel to the Snowman has no hospital so good luck trying to raise her if she dies. Ana's frailty stands out out of all the mage-type characters I've played and compounded with your lack of recovery options in the whole region she starts in makes her a very, very bad character. She does learn powerful PSI moves but they don't work if she's dead; i can buff her defense, have her guard and she can STILL die at full health in one hit. Most of the playthroughs I never got high enough to learn Ana's most powerful PSI moves and I didn't really need them because you don't actually fight the Final Bosses in Mother games. Paula does have a similar problem but PSI Freeze a is enough to one shot kill anything right off the bat. Keeping her alive's not that difficult if you grind a few levels, the enemy in the 2nd Sanctuary are easy, and you can permanently Paralyze the sanctuary boss, allowing you to auto attack it to death.
Lloyd is a different story. Ana and Lloyd are in a nutshell weaker versions of Paula and Jeff respectively. In Lloyd's case he's hindered by the face that you only have 8 items rather than 14, but once you know what item does what, it's really a matter of keeping him stocked with items. (You only need two Flamethrowers to get through Mt. Itoi and the area has no boss fight outside the last one that doesn't involve combat.). Best of all, he doesn't start out in a bad area like Ana.
:( monke sad now :((((((
@Esteban Villeda Fassad doesn't think so.
I would say Poo is weaker than Jeff.
Poo is just like his name
if salsa counts then so does claus who is only playable for one fight but is still fully playable
I have no idea why, but somehow, Salsa made it on a journalist's top 10 list of mother series party members. Game journalists truly are incompetent.
So a dog is as smart as. Jeff... wow how smart
HOW DARE YOU SAY DOGGY BAD
DOGS ARE AMAZING
BONEY BEST PART OF MOTHER 3
WHen you threw up the image of salsa NGL I thought it was bubble monkey for a second
How dare you do Salsa dirty like that
Ana has Super Healing, PSI Fire γ and PSI Freeze Ω. Ana is quite strong.
dont say that about my baby boy salsa 😭
Boney isn't that bad once u get the right equipment. Which I didn't actually know on my first playthrough because the game does a really bad job telling u what he can equip. With the right ribbons, hats and the k9 weapon he's actually p good. It just takes a bit for him to get good. Idk much about mother 1 so I'm not gonna argue with Ana. U already apologized for putting Jeff probably the best battle character in entire mother series besides Ness there so it's fine :)
Okay, I'm just going to say from experience that the worst character in my opinion is Lloyd. From my experience playing the Mother games I have never found anyone nearly as weak and annoying to use as him. Ana has the benefit of strong psi offense and healing to make herself useful in Earthbound Beginnings unlike Lloyd who is stuck tooting his unreliable bullhorn, turning on the flashdark, using the weak ass bottle rockets he gets and the kinda rare bombs. Sure later on he gets some lasers and other powerful weapons to use later on, but, the laser always broke after 1 or 2 frickin uses and he doesn't even have access to his best tools until pretty late into the game and not only that, they are tedious and expensive as f$$k to get whether its beating up a ton of gang members just to get some flamethrowers or shelling tons of money for illegal weapons schoolteachers just hand out to kids. Overall he's just unreliable as most of his strong weapons are consumables and/or super expensive making him very annoying to actually use. Personally I rejoice when I get Teddy on my team saying to myself "finally a character who can actually do something somewhat meaningful". Honestly even a character like Salsa has some decent tricks like his ability to mimic enemy attacks which actually makes people think he is better than Boney in some situations.
Boney can eat your food items if you try to heal someone else
This was annoying
Boney is good he's noice
Most people will disagree with me but I feel Paula is the weakest of the mother 2 cast because
She always dies in boss battle unless you heal her every 5 seconds she can’t use healing powers to restore hp with psi she gets kidnapped at some point during the game which stops her from leveling up faster also her hp barley goes up in a level up she also has pray which is literally the worst ability in the whole game as far as I can remember and her her stats aren’t to great by the end of the game since her hp will only be around 250 even grinding her to level 99 she still has only a little over 300 unless you use the rock candy glitch and you might as well be relying on teddy bears to protect her
But maybe I will see poo in the future as weaker since he has very limited foods that heal him his psi runs out so quickly cause he doesn’t have a lot his 4 equipments our scattered through out the game pretty much making it a big quest and one of them which is his only weapon in the entire game you could waist hours of your life trying to get it
So maybe in the future I’ll see poo as a weaker character
Maybe I’m just not using him correctly, but Boney was basically useless to me
I’d say Boney’s best used as more supportive since he is the quickest party member and can use items as fast as possible, but he’s pretty much worthless aside from that. (And I guess Sniff)
Sniff was about the only helpful thing for me. I hated using items because the only times I would feel they weren’t wasted was against a boss, and if I use them in a boss fight and then lose, (which I usually do a bit before finally beating them) I won’t get it back, so there’s no point in using it. The only items I found helpful were the revival ones and the PP retainers, but I normally gave them to Duster because he is also pretty quick and has a lot more hp. Boney normally does first for me anyways, so then I can’t use the items
But what about that 1girl from the start of mother 1
Her name is pippi

Ana is oneof the best characters in earthbound zero, second only to Teddy in my opinion. Yes, she's slow, weak, and doesn't have much HP to show for it, but she has better healing capabilities than Ninten and she learns them at a lower level than he does. She has some ridiculously overpowered moves, too like Freeze Gamma that brings any enemy down to 3 HP instantly, Shield ß which cuts all incoming damage by half for the entire party (that works on Giegue) Powershield (that only costs 9 PP and makes the user completely and utterly invincible) Fire Omega (which is a full screen nuke) and tons more that makes her very powerful. Ana is not to be underestimated. Neither is Lloyd as his damage output is somewhat respectable and Super Bombs are Fire Omega in the form of an item which you can get early on.
this is good vid 0:00
Cool vid!
Salsa can be very good against bosses if you only use monkey mimic all the time and make sure that he doesn’t die by healing him. Ana is really good because she has all the good psi moves. Just make sure to heal her with Ninten. Boney is the worst imo. He has no unique moves and his stats are bad. I didn’t even care to waste PP by healing him lol.
Lloyd is pretty weak yes, i agree. in my playthrough of Mother 1 funny enough he saved my ass MULTIPLE times despite being not all that useful
Salsa's the worst? Say that to the enemies of MOTHER 3 as I "spew digestive acids" and "fire a missile"
I’m saying it to the party member whose base stats and other abilities are so weak they need to rely on the enemies’ attacks in order to do any significant damage
