#but also... comparing different builds and character predispositions to how they have different strengths in combat is really interesting

thinking about Homura....

In both of the PMMM games I've been aware of (MR and ME) she's been put into the role of an attacker, but I don't think that quite fits.

like, yeah she's got guns and military weaponry and is cool as hell, but even in the latest timelines she was never able to beat walpurgistnacht on her own. I see wally as more of a metaphorical battle than a literal one in some ways- it can only be defeated via Madoka's death- but regardless.

I think it'd make more sense for her to either be a defense unit (her weapon is a shield and she wants to protect madoka), Support, or Debuffer (both things that she's very good at with her time stop powers)

Because she wants to be able to defeat any enemy in a single blow. she's worked so, so hard to become an attacker. But she's just not.

At the end of the day, she'll never be able to measure up to someone who's just got better stats.
