Really, Mist would arguably be the best primary healer in the game if Florete used her magic stat instead of her strength. It kind of sucks that there are no magic-based melee weapons in RD (i think?). But Valkyries have never been offensive powerhouses anyway, so meh. In my experience, Mist is also prone to RNG screwage, and BEXP raising doesn't really cut it when you have to do it for 10-15 levels. And I never used my Micaiah for anything else (besides healing) than cleanup / Thani kills, since she's slow like a drunken slug. |
Any character can be screwd by the RNG. My last Mist capped all but one stat IIRC. BEXP'ed her only for the last few levels of each tier. In part 1, I had Micaiah to level 20 long before the final battle. Combine that with a weaponless Sothe to attract enemy blows and she squishes everything without taking damage. Prior to 20, you can sacrifice to heal Sothe and have Laura patch up Micaiah for even more experience.
Speed was never an issue for me though since I don't usually charge across maps (except in Easy mode). I prefer to methodically move across maps taking out as few enemies at a time as possible (to minimize damage).
