Well of course you'd place Odette a whole lot more than Anya or Karma, but that is only because she is "strictly better" (costs more UP if not reduced) than other mages and is a more widely utilized unit type. But that doesn't really matter if those extra stats aren't making a difference in map completion. I've done all the story maps and 3 starred all events for months with only Valerie and Pallis. I'd rather have a new unit type that opens up more possible strategies and maps that would be (nearly) impossible to 3 star without rather than a slight buff to my magic AoE damage. I don't consider her skill that useful either, unless we get some new enemy type down the road that hits whole map with magic damage.

@samyy why do you continue arguing DMM meta when that isn't even what's being discussed? Even so, you're formatting and broken english makes it all very difficult to parse. I don't really care to fact-check and math it out but I'm sure Tenhou did not forget to include things like Belinda and Yuyu's passive buffs in his calculations either.
