Is Magilou any good? (aka should i swap her in)

[Genius Destroyer]

Like the title says..i just got Magilou in my party (level 23)

and i THOUGHT the max party size was 5...i was wrong

so i now have a new character to use..but is she good/worth to swap out?

Velvet (main)
"Malak number 2" i have them for healing and elemental arts
"the Reaper" his quickness is good and is potent in combat (i think)
Rokorou..i might swap him..he's often dying first due to get close with the enemy

so..Should i keep my normal party or swap Magilou in?

Magilou is good VS caster ennemies (absorb ennemies spells to launch powerfull attack after) and not really good if she can't use that... in my opinion :)

Just take a try and switch Rokurou (not a big fan either of that character)

Magilou is more playable once she learns Flood Wall and Crown Fire for spell artes.

Early on probably just go with Spirit Drops (regular arte). Or support with occasional mines on already knockdowned enemies to help extend combos.

Magilou's the best character in the game due to Spirit Drop. It has good damage, high stun (which means quick soul meter regen), high speed, and enables quick spell casts when used early on in combos. Her Spell Absorber is also amazing, not only because of the enemy spell canceling properties and the extra artes it casts, but because you can use it very quickly. Seeing as how she can regain Souls VERY easily, this also mean you can use her mystic arts very frequently. Even without Spirit Drop, she's able to chain spells rather quickly and is able to due high damage across the field.

She also happens to be the best character story wise, but I won't get into that.

There are 6 playable characters in this game. 4 in combat party, 2 at standby

All the party members are good, they just have their strengths. It doesn't hurt to spend time swapping characters and learning how each plays, if for nothing else because you will need to swap characters to give some time to rest and recharge. Set up well, Magilou can be devastating to the enemies.
