The only required role ime is a leader because healing is the main advantage that PCs have over NPCs, so if the players do not take a leader, I will use the DMG guidelines to supply one.Our current group has:Human Semi-lazy WarlordElven ThiefDwarven Hybrid Fighter|BarbarianHuman ScoutHuman HunterEladrin BladesingerDwarven SlayerFor all intents and purposes, the Warlord is (mostly) a striker because she gives extra attacks to the other strikers, the Thief is a striker, the Fighter|Barbarian is a striker, the Scout is a striker, the Hunter is a partial striker (shooting against the same foe with a group of melee strikers with Aspect of the Pack Wolf), the Bladesinger is a partial striker (2 rounds of Bladesong plus bladespell power), and the Slayer is a striker.Every player arranged for his or her PC to do striker level damage, at least part of the time.So, it seems like our group is 2 controllers, a defender|striker, a leader, and 3 strikers, but our group of players has decided that the ultimate form of control is death. A dead foe (typically) doesn't fight back.The group doesn't (typically) need a lot of healing because it wipes foes out so quickly that the foes don't get enough attacks to force the group to heal (course, last week, I threw an N+4 encounter at them where they took damage if they did damage and it really threw them for a loop <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ).</blockquote>
