" To me, Uyae's biggest issue is that she's designed to take a turn to buff herself, when another character could be killing stuff in that turn."

thats not necessarily a bad thing though. varia needs 3 turns of setup and constant healing to perform. but once she's ready, things die. quickly. so the issue with uyae isn't so much that she needs to set up, as that there's no adequate incentive for having done so. shes TOO balanced. like simon, but with better magic. even after setting up, her performance in any one given role just doesn't match up with the others.

she isnt as tough as simon or hilstara

she cant heal as effectively as qum or carina

her magic isn't as strong as robin, altina, or yarra's

her physicals aren't as strong as aka, varia, or nalili's.

what she can do, interestingly, is use an aoe physical attack that runs off the magic stat. that is her sole unique niche, and it currently can't be exploited meaningfully. it IS an interesting trick though, and if as she grows she learns more oddities like that, it's possible that she might be an answer to some highly unusual enemies. perhaps ones that have a weakpoint bonus against physicals but have a high physical defense stat?
