InThis War of Mine, players are tasked with ensuring the survival of three to four people in a makeshift bunker. Players will have to fend off bandits, soldiers, hunger, depression, and other kinds of misfortunes during a siege that lasts more than a month. Players will get random team members with no pattern, but, after a few retries, some might realize that they can keep restarting until they get the characters they want.

This is incredibly useful, as not all characters inThis War of Mineare made equally. The survivors come from different walks of life. Some are fitter and others are savvier. While all of them contribute to the group in their own way, others do so more seamlessly and can determine whether the playthrough extends throughout late-gameor winter. With that in mind, these team combinations inThis War of Mineprove quite effective for survival.
4Bruno, Pavle, Katia
In their first playthrough, players don’t even have to restart too often to get the group they want. Sometimes, the game will throw them one of the most efficient trios in the game. Bruno, Pavle, and Katia have everything the players want and need for a balanced playthrough. That means a few looting spots here and there and a general aversion to violence. The last part is particularly important since the group doesn’t have abonafide fighter.

Their focus is mostly on getting resources smoothly and spending them as thriftily as possible. Still, Pavle can fight if push comes to shove, but that’s not what he’s made for in this kind of situation. Because of the balanced nature of this team, there’s a chance that players might not receive a random fourth group member or perhaps someone whose skills are less desired. As such, players will want to achieve the best that they can with this combination if it ever is thrown at them.
Division of labor
In order to best utilize each member of the group, here’s how players should assign tasks.
3Marin, Katia, Bruno, Marko
Another complete and balanced teaminThis War of Minewould be Marin, Katia, Bruno, and Marko. It functions similarly to the starter team above but takes a lot more luck to achieve through restarts. Marko can be difficult to obtain for a lot of players as his chance of an appearance is somewhat low. However, Marko is the glue that holds this team together thanks to his huge inventory size.

This ensures that players don’t have to take too many risks with supply or scavenging runs. Everyone else does their duty well as a stay-at-home member of the group. This team has a high success chance and a lot of players typically report completing the game using this setup or something similar with Marko in the group. As always, this team is only as good as each of the members in their dedicated roles.
2Roman, Boris, Zlata
There are playthroughs when players will want to take off the gloves and survive violently. That means killing bandits, soldiers, and other people in scavenging sites if need be. This will ensure a conflict-free source of resources and a less nerve-wracking supply run. Thankfully, such a team is possibleinThis War of Mine.

Players will need specific characters that have acombat background. They will then need to be paired with someone who is great at boosting morale because characters who kill people end up getting depressed or, in some extreme cases, making the entire group depressed.
1Arica, Boris, Marin, Katia
For players who want to build a bulletproof base while also having safe and smooth supply runs, this team should perform admirably. It’s not combat-focused unless players anticipate some rough invasions from bandits, because the team will shine in that department.
In any case, seeking trouble inThis War of Mineis almost unnecessary thanks to certain characters' skills. Players can substitute Arica for Marko if they don’t care much about sneaking around in scavenging sites, although having Marko and Boris in one team can be difficult to achieve.
This War of Mineis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and Mobile.
