Sana Futaba

Massive Damage Cuts

Sana boasts one of the strongest defensive connects in the game. At four stars, her connect gives 100% damage cut. Her magia hits all enemies and also gives defense up at just shy of 50% as well as about 1/3 of damage cut. Once she's uncapped at five stars, her connect will also grant increased attack making her one of the more useful defensive units in terms of connects. She does defense and she does it extremely well.

Lower attack strength

Since she is a defense unit, she's not going to be as useful in PvE as other units, where magia attacks tend to be the focus in battle. She'll be useful for the occasional boss fight where her defensive boost can help glass cannon attack units last longer in combat, but she herself isn't going to be dealing out much damage

Unpredictable Doppel

Sana is unique in that she has two distinct doppel attacks that are chosen at random. Her doppel will deal damage to all enemies, and then depending on which half appears, will use one of two different attack patterns. In one pattern, her doppel mimics her magia in that it increases defense, grants damage cut and restores HP. In the second pattern, she has a chance to inflict burn, darkness, and bind. While both patterns can be very useful in battle, there's no way to predict which of the two patterns will happen when she uses her doppel attack which can make it tricky to plan out your strategy in battle.

Greatest defensive connect

As mentioned above, Sana's connect has the greatest amount of damage cut in the game, and once she is uncapped to five stars, also grants increased attack which is the perfect combination for ensuring the longevity of your more frail attack types. The added attack up is also a good boost as well. Thanks to her forest element, she's a natural wall against all those triple blast water types that get uncapped later in the game.

Low attack

Despite her decent disc pool, Sana is a defensive unit, so she should be used as such. Her attack is semi-decent for a two star girl, but she's not going to be dealing much damage on her own. Her main strength is in taking hits for others and supporting them with her defensive connect. Even at four memoria slots, she's not going to be one-hitting water element types.
