Starting Act II - Quick Advice

First, I want to thank everyone so far for all the tips/advice! What an AWESOME community we have here! This is one of the BEST story games I've ever played.

Ok, so after that absolutely EPIC (and sad... unnecessary... but wow was that well written & displayed) I'm getting ready to start Act II and I was just going to run with the team I already have because I know them well & we really play well together (since I knew Gustave was going to meet this fate, I've been playing the 3 women together for awhile)

So, how vital is Verso to Act II? I did a search of past posts and didn't really see a consensus on what the best teams are, so I thought I'd ask.

I do see the game does seem to get a bit more challenging though - which is cool, I welcome it - but with that - I'm also reading to go heavy into Luck (obv for the crit) and agility (to play a lot) - Any other quick tips? As always, you can also refer me back to any old posts or blogs that were helpful to you.

Thanks in advance!
