Signature mechanic

Aimable finishers spawn autonomous swords

Maglielle's combo finishers can be aimed, and landing enough hits with one causes its swords to break off and attack independently. Cascading Tremolo fires magic swords ahead of her, and holding the unique attack prolongs it while draining the Veil gauge, which you refill by releasing Blade Dance with perfect timing. She plays comfortably at range or up close and works extremely well under AI control.

Maglielle can be a damage dealer or a great support to her party. Her ease of use and access to range attacks makes her a great character to control or set as an AI companion. Her play-style revolves around her combo finishers and Blade Dance which deals a ton of damage if you sequence them together smoothly.— Game8 tier assessment

Strengths

  • 1

    Top-tier and easy

    SS tier with a genuinely low execution barrier — the best power-to-difficulty ratio in the roster.

  • 2

    Flexible range

    Effective at distance or in melee, so she adapts to any boss without a build change.

  • 3

    Excellent AI companion

    The AI pilots her well, making her a strong pick even when you main someone else.

Weaknesses

  • 1

    Combo flow is awkward

    Community guides consistently flag her combo routing as clunky compared to her damage.

  • 2

    Veil gauge timing

    The perfect-timing Blade Dance release is how you fund Cascading Tremolo; miss it and your uptime drops.

  • 3

    Paid DLC character

    Requires Endless Ragnarok, though she is granted free after unlocking Very Hard quests.

Support skills (passives)

  • Etude of Devotion

    Maglielle's combo finishers are aimable. Landing enough hits with a finisher causes its swords to independently attack foes.

  • Cascading Tremolo

    Maglielle fires magic swords in front of her with attacks. Holding her unique attack prolongs the attack while depleting the Veil gauge. Landing combo finishers fills the gauge.

How to unlock

Sigil loadout — Fatebreaker

Maglielle's sigils in Endless Ragnarok center around her Master Traits. To get the maximum value out of it, she specifically needs 5 Basic-Stat , 3 Attack , and 2 Defense or Support . This will provide her up to 200% Damage Cap , 100% Attack Boost , 6% Defense , and 20,000 base HP .

We recommend 2 Health and 3 Stun Power for her basic stat sigils. Equipping exactly one Greater Aegis and Aegis boosts her health to 180k–195k without disabling the Catastrophe Nova boost. For attack, always run Fatebreaker , Celestial Lumen , and Celestial Terra to raise her damage cap. Finally, use her defense/support slots for Improved Dodge (for better evades) and Steel Nerves (for damage reduction with Stout Heart).

Prioritize Supplementary DMG and DMG Cap subtraits to boost her damage, and fully utilize her Circuit and Warpath character-sigils in the endgame. Run Uplift to build her SBA gauge faster, and slot in Guts , Potion Hoarder , and Autorevive for her survivability options.

  • While progressing Chaos, a transcended Defender weapon usually beats an un-transcended Terminus
  • The standard template: 5 Basic-Stat + 3 Attack + 2 Defense/Support sigils
  • Fatebreaker V+, Celestial Lumen V+ and Celestial Terra V+ in the attack slots
  • Improved Dodge+ and Steel Nerves V+ for survivability that does not cost damage

  • Skill Damage Cap Up
  • Stun Power Up
  • Normal Attack Damage Cap Up
  • Skybound Art Damage Cap Up

Once Maglielle has all of her Weapon Transcendance Masteries fully unlocked, she will have 80%-82% Critical Hit Rate without any sigils, traits, or summons. Therefore, she only needs to enable one Master Trait that increases her Critical Hit Rate by 20% to reach 100%, which will give her more room for her Over Mastery Bonus.

Maglielle's best Master Trait is Essence: Superlative Sorcery to make her a powerful skill caster and a shielder for the team. This perk allows her to fully refresh the cooldown of her skills after using Blade Dance IV. It also increases the damage and healing of her skills. She also gains Veil gauge whenever she casts her skills , which enables her to use Blade Dance IV often in a fight.

As for her Traits, prioritize getting Damage Cap for her skills and unique attacks. You can also get increased Veil Gauge gain . Make sure to equip one Critical Hit Rate +25% . It is also important to activate all traits that provide bonuses based on equipped sigils . Lastly, enhance her Superlative Sorcery perks with traits that increase her Arts Superior max stacks, attack, and skill damage cap .

Execution

Combos & rotation

  • Combo C Superlative Sorcery Combo (Endless Ragnarok)8 steps
    1. 1Cast Pistol of Demons then dodge cancel
    2. 2Cast Spear of Legends then dodge cancel again
    3. 3Cast Hammer of Thunder fully. Do not move while doing this unless the enemy starts moving out of its range.
    4. 4(Optional) Use link attack to deal damage and gain Veil Gauge
    5. 5Hold her unique attack immediately to use Blade Dance until it reaches Blade Dance IV to refresh the cooldown of her skills
    6. 6Cast Pistol, Spear, and Hammer in that order again.
    7. 7Use Combo C followed by a few normal attacks to quickly gain Veil Gauge. Repeat until you have a full Veil Gauge
    8. 8Use Blade Dance until it reaches Blade Dance IV to refresh the cooldown of her skills again. Continue doing this pattern until the end of the fight.

    Once Maglielle learns Superlative Weapons Rank 3 , she can quickly refresh the cooldown of all her summoned weapon skills after unleashing a Blade Dance IV. This is the upgraded version of her previous combo , which has the same goal of quickly gaining Veil Gauge, but this allows you to use all of her skills in between Blade Dance IV.

    Her Combo C move can be seen in Maglielle's command list. You can do the move by using three normal attacks, followed by one unique attack, and ending it with a held combo finisher.

  • Combo A Blade Dance Combo (Pre-DLC)5 steps
    1. 1(Optional) Use Spear of Legends to lower the defense of the enemy.
    2. 2Cast Pistol of Demons then Hammer of Thunder to deal a ton of damage and stun.
    3. 3Use her Combo A followed by a combo finisher to deal damage and charge her Veil gauge.
    4. 4Dodge right after the combo to cancel the animation.
    5. 5Repeat Combo A until you can use a skill or a full Veil gauge to unleash her Blade Dance to inflict even more damage to an enemy.

    Maglielle can quickly charge her Veil gauge using Combo A followed by her Hold Combo Finisher. This lets her fully charge her Veil gauge after 5-6 uses of her Combo A. After every combo finisher, she also lowers the cooldown of her skills.

    Her Combo A move can be seen in Maglielle's command list. You can do the move by using one normal attack, followed by one unique attack, and ending it with a held combo finisher.

  • Perfectly Time Blade Dance to Gain Veil Gauge

    When using Blade Dance, it powers up to Blade Dance IV. Each stage, she can perfectly time it to receive a portion of her lost Veil gauge back depending on how much she charged it.

  • Hold Combo Finisher to Gain More Veil Gauge

    When you hold a Combo Finisher, she can aim it to deal damage to an enemy. After dealing enough damage by holding it, it will turn purple and deal more damage while giving Maglielle more Veil gauge.

  • Use Paeanic Age to Negate Damage

    Outside of dealing multiple instances of damage with her Blade Dance, she can also cast a moveable AoE that grants anyone inside invincibility. This is perfect against bosses in overdrive, where you want to avoid as much damage as you can.

Kit

Skills

Recommended loadout — Hammer of Thunder and Pistol of Demons

Maglielle has access to both offensive and support skills. To get the most out of her, it is best to do both, as most of her damage comes from her combo finishers and Blade Dance. Pistol of Demons is her main skill that lets her deal more damage every time she attacks an enemy. Hammer of Thunder is her burst skill, where she can inflict millions of damage as well as a high amount of stun damage to the enemy in the center of the skill.

As for her support skills, get Spear of Legends and Stave of Divinity . Spear of Legends is her gap closer that deals damage and inflicts a defense down debuff to an enemy. Stave of Divinity, on the other hand, lets her provide passive healing (or shielding if you chose the Master Trait for it) for the party, and can rescue them when they are down.

                  Situational swaps: Paeanic Aegis, Sostenuto.You can also swap out her Stave of Divinity with Paeanic Aegis if the boss cannot bypass invincibility and you want to avoid taking damage, especially in a specific phase of the fight. Sostenuto , on the other hand, lets you gain a shield if you want to increase your survivability chance in a fight.

                  Party

                  Recommended team — Captain (Gran/Djeeta), Fediel, and Cagliostro

                  Fediel is your frontline damage dealer using the Finishing Touch Master Trait build to deal a massive amount of ranged damage while mid-air, which helps her avoid taking damage while she is doing her combo. Make sure to equip The Black's Blessing and Primordial Fear , as they are skills that buff the party and inflict a strong status effect called Petrify.

                  Captain will be your tank frontline, using The Substitute Master Trait build to provide shield for the party and absorb damage you take and redirect it to them. Phalanx and Substitute are important skills to bring. If you want Captain to deal damage, then picking Armor Break and Reginleiv is the choice. Otherwise, you can swap Armor Break with Rage , Veil , or Dispel depending on the boss you are tackling.

                  Cagliostro will be your other ranged support using her Alchemedic Master Trait build to provide offensive buffs, healing, and shields for the party. Phantasmagoria and Reinforce are important skills to have. Pain Train and Alexandria are low-cooldown damaging skills that allow her to charge her Collapse quickly after use.
