CO:EX33 What was your leveling distribution?

I've noticed many streams where all the lumina and overall builds went towards three members, or even just one and the rest were support.
I've personally kept everything at the same lvl at all times, same lumina distribuition, same effort on builds. When one or two characters got underleveled they were brought to the main team until they catched up.
How did you play it?

Tried to balance them as much as I could for the majority of the game. But in the end Maelle got most of the stuff since she is pretty OP.
I think Verso got the least amount of stuff in the end tho. Just didn't really use them that much.

Currently in act 3 and pausing the main story to go around the map and side-quest as much as possible since for once in a game side questing does not feel like a chore.
I have three members that are my main lineup but I keep everyone as balanced as possible, many times I won battles thanks to my reserve duo

I'm currently still playing and my distribution is the same to yours. I've started to look at builds for beating some of the overpowered enemies in the game. My starting three is Verso, Sciel and Lune. Monoco and Maelle if they die. I have Maelle on the second team, even though she's currently the second strongest person I have, for balance.

Leveling was an even split between Agility and Vitality until both got to 99. At that point, Recoat then dump into the stats for everyone's best weapons.
Lumina points were distributed evenly among each character. It was super useful having everyone set up to fight because some characters work better for certain situations.

Main party was Verso, Maelle and Monoco, but everyone was equal leveled.
Stats: Agility up till 99, then luck 99, then might.
All luminas distributed equally.

Voted and finished the game equally balanced over all characters. But now I'm doing endgame things after seeing credits and I've successfully done a Lune killing machine build with over 400 lumina points that destroyed all endless tower almost by herself. Also the Flying Manor end boss was finally managed by her solo.
Now I'm going for the Maelle build just for the well known "hardest boss" but honestly if it takes too much work I may just watch the remaining journal in youtube and call it a day. Lune was entirely my build and while the things I'm seeing for Maelle are similar, it's not the same and not mine, so it's ok to just quit here, especially as there's not much more game for me. I was just doing this while postponing starting a new game but that time has come now.

Maelle, Verso, Lune only. I gave nothing to Sciel and Monoco lol.
Distributed all Lumina points equally among the 3 mains.
I basically had my end-game weapons about 10 hours in and would max those out and build around them. I did replace one or two with post-game weapons.
Stat distribution for every levelup was 2 Vitalitythen 1 in whatever the weapon stats were.

Interesting because Gustave's overcharge is rather good at dps but he is a support character priming enemies for the rest of the team to shine. Maelle is ridiculously OP pretty early on, as long as you get good at counterattacking. Sciel is the best support from Act 2 onward.

I never switched out characters so it took a sec to get Monoco up to Sciel and Vero's level lol.

Balanced for most of the game, but my Primary party was Lune / Sciel / Monoco, with Lune being my "Main" and getting the lion's share of Lumina in the endgame.
Went with a fun Heal-Buff / DOT Nuke Team by basically using Typhoon as an AP / Buff Battery for the Squad, then Stacking Storm Caller and Terraquake for Passive Damage, then Elemental Genesis and Hellfire for big Damage nukes. Was a lot of fun having access to so much damage per turn for big waves and required a bit of Stain management to keep me awake.
