Current Events > Characters in RPGs (or otherwise) that dominate the game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm playing through Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and it always amazes me how unstoppable Haar is. Just an absolute beast of a unit.
I'm sure there's a character from every Fire Emblem game that does this but I'm just thinking about it now.

Velvet from Tales of Berseria also sticks out, considering you just need to do her whatever the battle mechanic is called and you can't lose.

What are some other examples of this?

TG Cid from FFT

"why yes, swordskills are ranged, instant, no MP, 100% accurate AoE that OHKOs most things. I've got all of them, and I'm stronger than Agrias, and I come with an auto-haste item. Why don't you just sit back and enjoy the cutscenes, ya?"

Boone from New Vegas due to a bug

Yukiko from Persona 4. Whose idea was it to put the best magic damage dealer and healer in one character? (The main protagonist is much stronger, but that is a clear design choice in the Persona games)

Every God of War game since its inception has done an amazing job of making you feel like a God.

Vinceborg from Barkley, Shut Up and Jam Gaiden. He destroys everything, but is only a party member for a small part of the game.

Every single main protagonist in the Xenoblade games.

Like seriously, Shulk, Rex, Cross (from X), and Noah all have really broken options compared to the rest of the party.

Basically every time he switches armor he gets the +1 Per bonus from his hat stacking infinitely.

Meru from legend of dragoon
She is the fastest character so she gets like 7 turns before the slowest character gets 1
And her final addition has a 600% damage multiplier which is insane

...and he shows up before Meliadoul, who only has the crappy swordskills, at the part of the game where they rapidly become irrelevant.

Not a character but the Dark Knight in Final Fantasy X-2 is insanely good. Great stats, immunities to several of the worst status effects (Stone, Death, Confuse, Poison, Curse), the Darkness skill which deals Defense ignoring damage to all enemies that also isn't effected by Blind or Silence and only costs a paltry amount of HP. 2 of these plus a White Mage tears through the main quest like paper.

In WotL you can make Agrias a Dark Knight and then she does everything that Cid does + is also unkillable because female only accessories.

Not to mention his ranged op drain attack. If he should get knocked out just chuck a Phoenix down and he can use it to be fine.

But he wont go down so.....

Its faster to beat the game with orlandu as is than make agrias a DK.

FFV Blue Mage/Chemist. Both need guides for how to do their thing, but they each have completely ridiculous tool boxes (by themselves) that allow them to break the game like a twig.

Mystic Knight isn't as strong, but, importantly, it is incredibly straightforward in its OPness.

Richard from Trails in the Sky the 3rd

The game has 16 playable characters and he's one of the last ones to join (like one of the last 2) and yet you could have him with nothing on and he'd still have more speed then any of your fully equipped characters.

That plus the fact that he has so little delay on his moves, built right he can get like 3 - 5 turns before any of your other characters get to act.
