I'm sure the answer is "it depends", but in general, does anyone have tips on how many characters to group together at a single location, and then a good time to split the party?
Let's suppose that you're playing with 4 characters, so the game gives you 6 locations to explore. For a while, I was splitting my characters all the time, which meant that if I encountered the boss before I closed at least 2 locations, he would have too many locations to run to, since I couldn't close them all, and I would completely lose the advantage of encountering the boss earlier.
On the other hand, grouping all characters in one location just to burn down to the henchman quickly seems like it can make the problem worse if you're unlucky enough to find the location with the boss instead of the henchman.
I can see that it makes sense to group specific characters together, especially ones that help each other out, but I still have trouble deciding the optimal number to keep together, and then it's hard for me to split them apart when necessary.
So, group 2 at a time (1 character that can't assist + 1 that can)? Do you always split once you have enough locations closed that you can cover every one that is still open?
Thanks for the help!
