Mai has a great leader skill which boosts the Attack and HP of all Attack type characters by 25%. This gives you an extra boost in attack. Her leader skill is also not restricted to a specific type, which means you can have a team with different character types to deal with different stages.
A typical DPS character, Kyo has significant attack stats and his skills deal a good amount of damage. Despite his seemingly rude and arrogant demeanor, he has an innate gift for fighting. As you increase his core effects, Kyo has a chance to apply a burn to enemies on crit hits.
