Another boss and another party member.

Rumia (boss):
This fight is not too difficult unless you are underleveled or just have bad luck. Her Moonlight Ray will do very little damage in the beginning. Where Rumia gets a bit difficult is when she spams Demarcation which debuffs the entire part in all stats. This will make her mediocre spells become increasingly deadly. Her aoe attack is nothing special much like Moonlight Ray unless of course your Mind has been debuffed. Rumia is resistant to Mystic damage so you may have to have Marisa this fight out.


Rumia:
Darkness Youkai
Rumia is a character that is either completely subpar compared to other casters or a incredible damage dealer depending on your playstyle. By herself, her stats are nothing special. Her Moonlight Ray though has an incredibly high multiplier and her aoe attack pierces defense entirely. Her Demarcation in party is actually a healing spell that removes debuffs but the heal is rather weak by herself.

Where Rumia shines is when she has proper support from someone who can buff her Magic stat in battle (or if you just feed her healthy dose of good items and skill points). A spell that does only a few thousand by itself can quickly become a devastating nuke with a +50% magic buff. Now, you may be saying... So what? I could very well buff Marisa or Patchy and nuke with them instead. But the difference is in the Multipliers. 50% Magic buff will be added to the 662% multiplier that Moonlight Ray has. A Magic buff can also make her into a decent group healer if needed.

In the end, its a matter of taste. Rumia is someone with a powerful spell but weak stats while someone like Marisa has a weaker spell but higher stats. Rumia is also your first character to have a spell that pierces all defenses.
