Overview

Cagliostro offers a variety of strong and previously unseen utilities, such as completely stopping enemy actions for one turn regardless of their debuff resistance, a skill equivalent to a Qilin + Huanglong call with a 40-turn lockout at the start of battle, and the ability to permanently raise the 6.6 million hard cap on charge attacks for your whole party. However, her utility is also highly specialized, requires a large number of turns to fully activate, and depends heavily on team composition to work properly.
