Analysis

A niche but good weapon and element combination. A magical tank that brings some utility to the team.

Pros

High M.DEF and generally tanky, and provides some ST heals.

Starts with a magic barrier and gets a lot of M.DEF buffs during battle (LB2).

Can nullify an M.DEF debuff once, and applies one on her special.

Cons

Her character passive only activates on water allies.

Really low HP for a tank.

Extremely slow.
