MAGES viability

[Always Snowy]

Everywhere I look people say the best end game lineup is X X and X with no mention of MAGES. Also they say that the goddesses are the only real party options since they have access to EXE

My question is, is MAGES viable? I like the long range magic aspect she brings.

any party member can use EXE and MAGES is very powerful especially her EXE

I think you mean the HDD transformations when you talk about the advantage the Goddess' have? Even if those make the Goddess' the "best" characters, that doesn't mean you can't make the others work.

I forgot to equip an item to increase her vit the first time I used her, needless to say I lost the fight due to it XD.

If Plutia is good then she's surely just as good if not better seeing as magic seems to have less enemies that have high mag def.

Increase her vit somehow and you're all set for one beastly character.

MAGES. is pretty solid, has strong attacks and also comes with a revival move which is nice.

MAGES. seems to be a decent character for a lot of situations despite not being a CPU. She's particularly useful for grinding multi-foe battles in the Colossuem because she has one of the most powerful AoE SP skills. She also has access to the Wind Storm rush attack (along with Rom and Ram), which is a great ranged attack for building the EXE gauge. It also helps that her EXE ability has more hits and does more base damage than some of the CPU EXE abilities of the same EXE level. Add in the heal skill and revive skill and she's a very welcome addition to the party.

MAGES. is a glass cannon.

Compa = Heal + Revive + Debuff Spells too :D

any character is viable, the only time where your line-up actually matters is when you do the 900+ DLC colossuem fights

Any and all characters are viable.
It's not a difficult or complex game requiring min-maxing.

Use whoever you feel like, 'cause in the end, you're just going to use AoE weapons and kill everything with one combo regardless of the character used.

Oh whoops I put EXE and not HDD. Sorry about that.
