Maxine vs Katarina - Which one is better?

Post by StalkerPizza »

Since I'm in dire need of a mage that can actually deal heavy damage...
Which mage is better: Katarina or Maxine?

I always use Maxine, you get her really early. In term of stats, I'd guess they're at the same level.

Maxine is stronger in terms of magic damage, and Katarina has a tiny speed advantage. I'd go with Maxine.

Maxine won't let you down.

whenever I needed some extra fire power Maxine was the one I could count on.

Maxine by far, shes probaly the 2nd or 3rd strongest mage in the game next to Ted. Katarina gets no love from me, I mean shes more attractive (in a Jeane kind of way), but not as good as for skills as Maxine

Yeah but we're talking about Suikoden Tactics here.

Maxine is hell better though I really hate when she loses and dies for a chance I don't know.

Maxine by far, of course. Katarina has one of the most atrocious magic stats as far as magicians are concerned (even Pablo had higher MAG than her in one of my games), plus you get Max much much earlier, and she is the only magician that has a natural 2 jump stat, so mobility in maps with difficult terrain won't be a concern.

ETA: Also, Maxine has better unite partners (Roget and Simeon, both with decent speed and magic, as opposed to Jeane who has TERRIBLE speed and Pablo who has TERRIBLE everything but luck)
