Overall
Annette is a Magic oriented character of the Blue Lions, tied with Mercedes in terms of their Magic growths. She has excellent Magic and Dexterity growths, but every other base stat growth are very low, giving her rather shaky growths. Annette's magic is more based on Reason with a focus on Wind spells, most notably gaining Excalibur to deal with flying enemies so Tutoring her in this is her best route, especially since she starts with a D+ proficiency. Her Faith spell pool has the standard healing Heal and later Recover, allowing her to help spread around the healing. She has access to the strongest Faith spell Abraxas which she can deal powerful damage. Aside from her Reason magic, Annette has strengths in Axes and Authority. The former may seem unusual given her poor strength growths, however Annette has the Crest of Dominic which not only helps to conserve Magic usage, but also grant her a natural affinity for Crusher, a magic based axe that allows her usage of the skill Dust, a skill exclusive to her as the sole playable Crest of Dominic user.

Annette also has one of the best supportive capabilities thanks to her Personal Skill Perseverance, effectively granting her Rally Attack from the start. Annette shines as a Rally unit and putting focus on her Authority will get her there faster. She has Rally Resistance at Rank D, Rally Speed at C+, and Rally Movement at S, giving her the most amount of Rally skills deployed by a single unit at four.

Annette's subject weaknesses do not particularly hinder her as most Bows do not naturally fit her due to her low strength while Reason has no application in Heavy Armor classes. She lacks a Budding Talent, but is otherwise relatively flexible as long as she can continue to use Magic. She ideally sticks to the Monk lines of classes, more so sticking to the Mage line as she has better outcomes increasing her spell casts for Reason. Going down that path leads to the Warlock class for incredible reason output plus increased Reason uses or can go into Gremory to reduce her damage, but also give her supportive utility by increasing her Faith usage. Annette also serves well in the Dark Knight class for the increased movement, access to Canto, and can use the Arrow of Indra to deal magic based damage with the class's native Lance requirement.
