Prunella build
Ok, so recently I learned characters who attack with the magical elements use their MAG. In my first playthrough of the game, when I got Prunella, she had pretty good STR, and dedicated all of her rune slots to buffing STR, but I was always disappointed in her damage. Wasn't sure why she did so little until now! She attacks with Earth element, meaning she uses her MAG stat to attack! You'll have to buff her crappy MAG stat as much as possible to make her worth the baqua you wasted on her

Re: Prunella build
Similar issues with Marisa and Leon as well. Really gimped their combat abilities, when compared to others who have matching strong stat and weapon type.

Using the Sword of Magic skill will apply magic to their attack, so these are good candidates for it, as well as Francesca!

Re: Prunella build
If only there's an auto-friendly option for stat swapping...

Re: Prunella build
You can also buy Dark 3 and Fire 3 Rune shards to use on these characters.
For Prunella, can you eventually put a Sidewinder or similar SP rune on her that deals physical damage? I assume that would scale off of her Str?

Re: Prunella build
I don't think so, because her weapon isn't "Throw", it's "Earth". (But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...)

Re: Prunella build
Julian is correct, you basically can only give her stat boosters or magic runes. She is fundamentally flawed, and it would be easy to fix by changing her weapon type or swapping her STR and MAG stats.
