Pretty sure shes pure magic, otherwise I'm suprised. (Given her Attack is kind of high for a mage-type, I shouldn't be.)
Her third skill's description mentioning it being a composite skill seems to be the reason why she's got the ATK she does.
As for my update...9F cleared in terms of boss fights, one optional, the other one forced.
The optional one I tried right away when I hit the floor and got rather owned. Decided to explore 9F first to level up some which led to another boss fight guarding the way to the 10F stairs.
That one...was a joke. So long as Patchy kept spamming Royal Flare every turn, the boss was essentially not attacking except for one party attack at the very end (Which didn't even do a whole lot of damage, just stat debuffs).
New character joined the party after that (Whom is pretty good I'd say).
After exploring more unmapped portions of 9F, saved and tried the optional bitch near the 8F stairs again.
This time I managed to come out on top...barely. One more turn from her and I may have likely lost the fight.
Too bad she kinda stinks as a party member though.
Saved again, decided to check out the 8F spot where a character was before that didn't join.
...Uh yeah, I don't think I'm gonna be doing that fight for awhile. Opening attack KO'ing everyone except Meiling who gets knocked down to double digit HP herself? Ouchies.
Gonna finish mapping out a few spots on 9F, then see what 10F has to offer.
Side note: 9F's music is sweet.
Main party levels are around 35-37 with a few characters at 39-40.
