 what I normally look for is a good healear, a melee and and a de/buff caster. Try to find a good combination between attacks, healing a buff/debuff. 

 Dont fuse just for the sake of doing it, but try to cover weaknesses and always get better stats. Some demons can grow quite a bit, so dont worry if you dont find a good demon to fuse, just keep using what it works until  you find a good match for a fuse. 

Yeah lol all of my demons are a mix. I've been paying more attention to fusing away weaknesses, but with attacks, all of my demons are a bunch of different roles. I just beat Madusa last night, and basically fused all my current demons to gain a force move to exploit her weakness, especially since my MC didn't have the move. Killed her with one demon left lol.

  Thats a good strategy at first. Actually the compendium is pretty important since you can buy the demons back. Try to keep updating the compedium so whenever you need to get a demon back, you get all the most recent attacks/skills and stats...
