Corrupt General (or Axis Commander back then) and Nomad were always regulars in my team back in the day, along with Grim Reaper Ed. I’d start off all the turns with General to lower MR, along with a decent amount of stuns, and get in a bunch of damage with Ed and Nomad. When I could take 3 allies, I’d always go for Pharaoh Dog King who kept my party healed and cleansed, plus had curse which was awesome back then. Nowadays, none of these find much use outside of Gauntlet.
