 Better tanks and most characters have a healing move (heck, You Can Do It!!! is better than most of Sharla's Arts...)

While I'm not going to go that far (Sharla's still the healing queen by a country mile), I agree that Sharla and Reyn are my least used characters. Reyn can draw aggro, but his damage dealing is mediocre and his dodging is suspect. Sharla's healing is great, but she can't do much damage at all, and once I get Melia/Riki I don't really take enough damage to justify wasting a third of my offense: the skill that heals characters post-chain attack takes care of most scratches, and Shulk/Riki's abilities are enough to handle any minor emergencies that pop up.

Pretty much the same.

My issue with Reyn is that his attack is pretty poor (the game pretty much says when it's just him and Sharla that he's useless compared to most characters), and his defence is non-exsistant. Add to that the fact that many of his Arts aren't all that great and you'll see he quickly gets outranked.

As for Sharla...yes, she's the best at healing, but YCDI!!! is incredibly good, and cools-down in next to no time. And Sharla only ever gets 1 red Art, and most are Blue, so she's next to useless in Chain-Attacks. Her Talent Art is also pathetic, as is the whole system around it.

All the characters have strengths, but these two have the biggest weaknesses.
