Overview
Danua is an attacker-debuffer who has, unusually for Light characters, Enmity synergy. She has great damage potential through a combination of 
Blood SacrificeAttacks twice each turn / HP is lowered every turn / Can't restore HP (Can't be removed / Effect duration extends upon being targeted by another light ally's buff or healing skill)
Duration: 2 turns, which lets her attack twice per turn, and her party-wide multiattack buffs.
Strengths
- Blood SacrificeAttacks twice each turn / HP is lowered every turn / Can't restore HP (Can't be removed / Effect duration extends upon being targeted by another light ally's buff or healing skill)
Duration: 2 turns effectively gives her a permanent

makes her effectively unkillable in the battle against Fediel, turning turn-based damage to healing even where no healing is normally possible.
Weaknesses
- Relies on party members to provide her buffs so she can extend Blood SacrificeAttacks twice each turn / HP is lowered every turn / Can't restore HP (Can't be removed / Effect duration extends upon being targeted by another light ally's buff or healing skill)
Duration: 2 turns's duration.
- Enmity-based (prefers being at low HP) in an element known for revolving around Stamina (prefers being at high HP).
- Unusual weapon proficiencies (Dagger/Axe) make her hard to fit into Atma/Ultima parties to further boost her multiattack rate.
- Issue is somewhat mitigated by
Hollowsky Axe, but even then, there are relatively few Axe- or Melee-proficient characters in Light, with over half the SSRs having limited availability. (See list)
- Fares poorly in many High Level raids, which have counters for her playstyle:
- Self-damage leaves her particularly vulnerable to Plain Damage special attacks. (Used by Celeste HL, DAO, and Proto Bahamut HL.)
- Immunity to PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling.
Local status effect (Celeste in Fog Phase, Avatar, Anubis Showdown) lowers her utility and lowers her DATA buff's strength.

- Because Blood Sacrifice gives her two rounds of attacks per turn, she is best placed in either second or third position (depending on her multiattack rate). Her accelerated charge bar gain and C.A. rate will help fill other party members' charge bars.

Danua's faster C.A. rate thanks to Blood Sacrifice will help speed up New Generations' charge bar generation, in turn allowing them to maintain Blood Sacrifice more efficiently.
