Overview

Magisa is a powerful and self-sufficient attacker, offering consistently high damage per turn, buff removal, and modest utility through various party buffs.

Strengths

High damage output and high hit counts for supplemental damage synergy
Frequent and flexible buff removal through her skill reset on charge attack
Effective at breaking various Omens in V2 battles
Modest but useful party buffs and crest support
Self-sufficient with 100% DEF and guaranteed double attacks
Often immune to buff nullifying effects due to her passive
Fully efficient in Full Auto and synergizes well with Dark's Full Auto setups
Staff and Fist specialization, covering two popular Ultima Weapon groups

Weaknesses

Less ideal for Reload/Refresh racing/mashing due to significant damage coming from her skill casts
Some of her party buffs are redundant with other popular/meta Dark characters (as of August 2022)
Her passive may complicate (future) crest teams in battles which frequently nullify buffs
