Yeah she is without Apsaras haha. Tbh I don't even know why they kept the Apsaras vs Leanin quest line from vanilla SMTV as here it's even more obvious which option is superior 😂
Always good to be prepared against Mudo/Hama spells. And of course, a boss using charm is the best way to prepare yourself to understand party order to prevent an easy game over. Good to note that when I play this game eventually.
