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

How to Play

Magisa is very easy to use as all of her skills can be activated whenever available provided you don't have a specific need to avoid using them. She will play essentially optimally on Full Auto.

  • On turn one, use all of her skills in order:

Synergy

Supplemental Damage and Skill Cap

With frequent skill damage and high hit counts, Magisa benefits from increased cap and supplemental damage, such as from:
